Chapter 20 Bamboo Insects

Early the next morning, Ye Xiaoying faintly heard the barking of a dog in her sleep, she turned over and wanted to continue sleeping, but Xiao Hei barked more and more cheerfully, and her voice became louder and louder.

So she had to try to open her heavy eyelids, but found that there was nothing around her.

What about Li Tiezhu? I guess I went up to the mountains to hunt.

And Xiao Hei was running and screaming in the yard at this time, he didn't know what he was biting, his tail was wagging excitedly, Ye Xiaoying was so noisy that Xiao Hei couldn't sleep, so she had to leave the bed.

The cold air of the early morning hit suddenly, she sneezed unexpectedly, put on her clothes and opened the door to see that the sun had just risen a little, and the weak sunlight only spread half of the yard, unable to drive away the residual cold of the night.

It seems that it should only be more than six o'clock, Ye Xiaoying thought, she rarely got up so early before, except for yesterday when she went to the town to catch the market, and now she is here, and she has a faint sense of desolation in her heart.

And she doesn't have any friends here, and her only husband, Li Tiezhu, also went hunting, and she didn't even have anyone to talk to. She sighed deeply, she always felt that life was not going well before, but now she misses her previous life very much.

But no matter how nostalgic she is, she can't go back, every time Ye Xiaoying wakes up and opens her eyes, she hopes to see her original bed and house, but it always backfires.

After a brief wash, she took a piece of cake she found in the kitchen, went to the yard, and watched Xiao Hei play boredly, and tried to come forward and have a good relationship with him.

This scallion pancake was specially bought by Li Tiezhu from the market yesterday, although it was already cold, and the taste was far inferior to modern cakes, but it was all hard earned yesterday, Ye Xiaoying only felt that it was not bad.

She was chewing dry scallion pancakes while teasing Xiao Hei, fortunately, with Li Tiezhu's prestige yesterday, Xiao Hei quickly accepted her, although she was not very close, but she would not show a fierce face when she looked at her.

And after Ye Xiaoying tried to feed it a few scallion pancakes, Xiao Hei completely accepted her, and her tail kept wagging her head, and she couldn't see the previous ferocity at all.

Oh, it turns out that this is also a foodie!

The sun gradually rises, the temperature slowly rises, a gust of wind blows, and the bamboo forest behind the house makes a crisp and pleasant sound.

Bamboo forest?

Ye Xiaoying suddenly remembered what she had said when she was cutting bamboo with Li Tiezhu Shangshan before, there were bamboo insects in the bamboo forest behind the house!

Bamboo insects are not only edible, but also have high nutritional value, so why not take these bamboo insects to improve the diet?

Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoying was overjoyed, she took a machete from the kitchen and hurried to the bamboo forest.

And Xiao Hei saw Ye Xiaoying leaving, and also shouted that he wanted to follow, Ye Xiaoying hesitated, stepped forward to untie its rope, and pulled it to the back of the house together.

The lush bamboo forest is moving in the wind, a large piece of withered yellow and fallen bamboo leaves on the ground, the yellow mud is very damp, you can step on a footprint in one step, and there is a trace of sweet bamboo smell in the air.

Ye Xiaoying picked a thick bamboo and cut it from the root with a knife, her strength was not very strong, and she cut around the bamboo several times before the bamboo broke.

"Woohoo!" Xiao Hei screamed happily, as if praising Ye Xiaoying.

Ye Xiaoying turned around with a smile and said, "I'll give you more food in the evening." ”

Nothing was found in the broken part of the bamboo, and she split it vertically. Because of the poor control of the strength, he almost cut his leg.

When the bamboo was split, Ye Xiaoying saw many white and chubby bamboo insects crawling inside the bamboo.

The body of the bamboo insect is segmented, with a small pair of teeth on the head, and many short feet on the abdomen for crawling, and these bamboo insects live by eating bamboo, and there are many traces of gnawing on the inside of the bamboo, resulting in many bamboo chips.

Ye Xiaoying grabbed a white fat insect and found that it was very heavy and soft to the touch, so she went back to the house and took out a wooden basin, took out all the insects in the bamboo and put it into the basin.

The bamboo that was cut down was very long, and there were many bamboo insects hiding in it, Ye Xiaoying finished splitting the whole bamboo, and found that the bamboo insects in the pot were almost half a pot.

Because of splitting bamboo, Ye Xiaoying's body was covered with a thin layer of sweat, her clothes were sticky to her body, very uncomfortable, the sun had risen above at this time, and the air became hot.

Li Tiezhu was very excited when he went home, he caught several pheasants and a roe deer today, and he gained a lot.

"Lady, I'm back! What do you think I caught today? Before entering the house, Li Tiezhu shouted.

At this time, Ye Xiaoying was washing the bamboo insects caught in the morning in the yard, these bamboo insects have been living in the bamboo, and they are already very clean, and they only need to be cleaned a few times.

Li Tiezhu happily walked to Ye Xiaoying's side, but was startled by the creature in the basin in front of her: "This, what is this?" ”

"Bamboo insects, didn't you tell me last time that there were insects in the bamboo forest behind the house, I went to catch some in the morning, and I will give you some food later." Ye Xiaoying said with a smile.

But Li Tiezhu was very frightened in his heart, and said with great disgust: "Lady! How did you get these bugs! You...... Are you still going to eat them? ”

He'd never eaten a bug! And when I see these things, I just feel panicked.

Moreover, how is it possible to eat such a thing? If you don't get it, you'll be poisoned!

Li Tiezhu wanted Ye Xiaoying to throw away these bamboo insects, but Ye Xiaoying refused: "Don't worry, these bamboo insects will definitely be edible, and they will be fine." And it's very nutritious and nourishing! ”

Li Tiezhu was stupid and didn't know how to persuade, but he trusted Ye Xiaoying very much, although this seemed to him to be tantamount to a fantasy, he still stood aside and watched suspiciously, and did not stop him.

He watched Ye Xiaoying pour some oil bought yesterday into the pot, wrap it in some flour, and wait until the oil smoked, and then grabbed a handful of bamboo worms and put them down. With a sound on the ground, the white fat bamboo worm shrank into a ball, and bursts of meat fragrance came, Li Tiezhu sniffed hard, although he was still a little frightened in his heart, but he still couldn't help but sigh: "It's so fragrant!" ”

Ye Xiaoying was very proud, she had said before that this could be eaten.

It didn't take long for her to present a pot full of golden and crispy bamboo worms, and the air was filled with a rich aroma of meat, and Xiao Hei screamed greedily when she smelled it outside.

"Come, taste it!" Ye Xiaoying handed Li Tiezhu a pair of chopsticks and encouraged him to eat first.

But Li Tiezhu made a difficulty, although this thing smells very good, but after all, it is still a worm, this, can it really be eaten?

Ye Xiaoying saw Li Tiezhu's thoughts, and said with some displeasure: "Can't you still trust me?" ”

"No, no, no!" Li Tiezhu said while shaking his hand, and then picked up an insect with a complicated face, looked at Ye Xiaoying's expectant eyes on the other side, and ate it with his eyes closed.
