And Lin Xiaozhu over there was explaining to Yuan Er: "There are many ways to identify, for example, it can be judged according to the direction of the old bamboo, and there is a proverb: 'Look at the bamboo leaves first and then dig the whip, touch the tip of the bud head, and the tender whip chases the old whip and pulls it forward.'" ''The old whip opened the fork and chased the new whip, chasing to the eighteenth step. Or if you look closely around the bamboo plant to see if there are loose mud blocks or cracks on the ground, and if you feel soft on the ground, you may have winter bamboo shoots. ”

Xiao Xiao heard this, she silently recited the proverb Lin Xiaozhu said a few times, pointed to one place and said, "Then Miss Lin, do you see if there are winter bamboo shoots here?" ”

Lin Xiaozhu glanced at the place she was pointing at and said with a smile: "Is there any, don't you know if you dig it?" ”

"Xiao Yiyan, come here, turn over the soil here for Princess Ben." Xiao Xiao shouted. The guard who followed Xiling Guo hurriedly stepped forward, followed Yuan Er's example, cut the branches, and dug into the ground. But after digging seven or eight times, I turned over all the dirt around me, but I didn't see the shadow of bamboo shoots.

Xiao Xiao glanced at Lin Xiaozhu very unconvinced, looked around again, pointed to another place, and said, "Here, dig again." ”

At this time, Yuan Er and the others had already dug up eight or nine winter bamboo shoots under the command of Lin Xiaozhu. Lin Xiaozhu saw that it was almost over, and was about to ask Yuan Shiyi to take the winter bamboo shoots to cook, but he heard Xiao Xiao pointing to a place and shouting: "Look, what is that?" ”

Although they hadn't been together for long, Lin Xiaozhu already knew Xiao Xiao's babbling personality, raised his head and glanced over there casually, and his eyes were suddenly fixed on the tree. She couldn't care about the winter bamboo shoots under her feet at this time, pulled Yuan Er's sleeve, and said, "Yuan Er, can you help me get that thing down from the tree?" You need to be very careful, though, or you'll get bitten by ants there. ”

"Ants? You're saying that thing has ants in it? Yuan Er pointed to the pocket-like bag on the tree and asked curiously.

"It should be." Lin Xiaozhu nodded. Walk over and look at the sac carefully, "This is the ant nest." ”

"Ant nest?" Xiao Xiao listened. suddenly lost interest, and turned his head to look for her winter bamboo shoots. Just now, she had commanded Xiao Yiyan to dig up two winter bamboo shoots, and now the bamboo shoots are digging to Xingtou.

"What do you want this for?" Yuan Er asked with a frown.

"Hey, hey. You don't know, do you? This ant is called a yellow ant, and its eggs are the size of chopsticks. Exceptionally delicious. Lin Xiaozhu said, "I don't know if you dare to eat it." ”

"Really?" Yuan Er is also a foodie, his eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "It's okay, I dare to eat anything." "I want to climb up the tree.

"Wait, I'll find something." Lin Xiaozhu grabbed him. Then he turned around and ran out, and after a while, he took a piece of her coarse old cloth clothes in his hand and handed it to Yuan Er, "You go up, carefully wrap the ant sac with this clothes, and tie it tightly." Then cut off the upper connection. ”

Lin Xiaozhu has always been very disciplined, and Yuan Er obeyed everything she said. As she instructed, she carefully climbed the tree and covered the mouth of the bag with her clothes. Then the part that connected the tree was cut off, and the sac fell from the tree with a "thud".

This movement not only attracted Xiao Xiao's attention, but also alarmed the three Yuan Tianye who had been standing by the bamboo forest and talking. They walked over, looked at the bags of clothes on the ground and asked, "What is this?" ”

"Huh. Good stuff. Lin Xiaozhu just laughed, and had no intention of explaining to them. Commanding Yuan Er to pick up the bag of clothes with a tree branch, he said, "Go to the spring." ”

Lin Xiaozhu didn't explain, Yuan Er naturally didn't talk much, picked up the clothes bag and came to the spring.

They stayed here because there was a spring that flowed down from the mountains, formed small pools in the low-lying areas, and then flowed down into the valleys. Lin Xiaozhu found a suitable waterhole and said, "Throw it into this waterhole, and then use a branch to pick up the knot of clothes." ”

Yuan Er did as he was told.

"Ah, ants, so many ants!" Xiao Xiao, who followed curiously, shouted.

I saw that on the surface of the spring water, ants slowly floated up, and these ants rolled and struggled on the surface of the water, and soon hugged each other and floated down the current. And the scattered ants that floated up behind were also slowly washed away by the water.

After a pillar of incense, seeing that there were no ants on the water, Lin Xiaozhu ran to the waterhole, hesitated, glanced back at Yuan Tianye and them, and whispered to Yuan Er: "Second Brother Yuan, please go down and scoop up that bag." ”

She has never liked to do things in the hands of others, if it weren't for the Xiao family brothers and sisters here, she would definitely take off her shoes and go into the water to get her bags by herself.

Yuan Er naturally knew Lin Xiaozhu's scruples. And since Yuan Tianye asked them to call Lin Xiaozhu "Miss Lin" that day, he has regarded Lin Xiaozhu as his future housewife, and naturally he will not let Lin Xiaozhu personally face the bag of dangerous things. At this time, without saying a word, he did as Lin Xiaozhu ordered. However, he didn't go into the water himself, he only stretched out his arm, used a branch to vigorously pick up the bag that was sinking in the water, and then reached out to pick it up and put it in front of Lin Xiaozhu.

"Cut it open with a knife." Lin Xiaozhu said again.

Yuan Er took out the knife and cut the bag open, and when he saw the contents clearly, he raised his head in surprise, glanced at Lin Xiaozhu, and let Lin Xiaozhu wait and see.

Lin Xiaozhu looked inside, and saw that all the ants inside were as white as jade and crystal clear.

"What's in there?" Xiao Xiao also squeezed over, stretched out her head and looked in, and suddenly let out an exclamation in her mouth, "Ah, it's so beautiful." He raised his head curiously and looked at Lin Xiaozhu, "What the hell is this?" ”

"Ant eggs." Lin Xiaozhu said, turned around and left. She remembered that she had a piece of burlap that she used to make a spice packet, which could be used as a sieve. I went back to the car and took out the ant eggs in a bamboo tube, put them in burlap, and then chose a pool of clean water and put them in the water to wash. In a short time, all that remained in the burlap was a plump and clean ant egg.

Yuan Tianye and the three of them had already come over to look at the ant eggs under Xiao Xiao's beckoning when she went back to the car to get the sackcloth, and at this time, seeing Lin Xiaozhu's action, Yuan Tianye couldn't help frowning and asked, "Xiaozhu, do you want to make these ant eggs into a dish?" Something, can you eat it? A lot of ants are poisonous. ”

Lin Xiaozhu looked at the linen cloth in his hand and hesitated.

When she traveled to Yunnan in her previous life, she saw that the ethnic minorities in that place had taken ant eggs like this, and the dishes they made were really delicious in the world, so she had been thinking about this thing. So when I saw it today, I was overjoyed, so I was not afraid to take the trouble to take off the ant eggs, and carefully cleaned them to prepare for cooking. She believed in her memory, and felt that the ant that had just floated on the surface of the water was the yellow ant she had seen, and the egg and the pouch were the same as the one she had seen in her previous life.

However, the four in front of him are either the prince, the prince, or the princess. If one of them had a problem, she couldn't afford it. Do you want this ant egg? (To be continued)
