Are those bugs eating dirt?

Lu lightly showed a confused expression.

She soon realized that it was no ordinary dirt.

A group of slaves dug up the hillside, dug it up and broke it up, and carried it in a frame to another place.

It was also a big pit, and the powdered sand was poured into it, and a man dressed in black and wearing a face towel around his face as a mask, which looked like a man from Liubao, added a powder to the soil, and after adding it, the slaves kept turning it with big sticks and rakes and stirring it well.

Then the soil was shoveled up again and transported to the edge of the pit where the insects crawled in.

Climb in a batch of insects and sprinkle a shovel of soil, be sure to ensure that each insect can eat enough.

The insects obviously liked the sand after the ingredient, and they didn't stop eating it. When a pit is half full, those people will cover the pit with a large grass cover to prevent the bugs from crawling in again.

Then they uncovered a large grass cover on the ground next to them, revealing an empty pit, in which they lit a short incense, the cigarette was so large that Lu Qing couldn't smell anything, but the insects smelled the smoke and poured into the pit like a collective crazy.

There were already slaves waiting next to them, shoveling and pouring the sand into it, and the insects were rubbing the ground and eating.

So repeatedly, the pits are endless, and the insects are not stopped, Lu Qing looked sleepy, and she didn't know what they were going to do next, she thought about it and changed places.

I walked along the countless pits until I came to the other side of the mountain, where there were many pits covered with grass, but strangely enough, they all bulged out under the grass cover, like small hills.

Lu lightly saw a man in black open the grass cover and grab a bug from inside.

Lu's eyes widened suddenly.

Is that a bug?

The insect could still vaguely see the original appearance of the cockroach relative, but at this moment, the slender insect was swollen into a round ball, and it was motionless and obviously dead.

As soon as the man in black pinched his fingers, the swollen insect was pinched and exploded, and a slimy black-brown liquid flowed out of it, which made me feel disgusting just by looking at it.

The man in black probably felt disgusted, looked at it with disgust, nodded to the person next to him, and then there were hula slaves pushing carts over, each of which had a large vat made of stone.

They lifted the whole straw cover, and it was full of round and deformed insects, and Lu Qing suddenly wondered, is it because the insects are collectively swollen, which caused the pit to bulge from the original half-full? Just like beans sprouting, and like corn turning into popcorn?

She continued to look, only to see that the slaves were pulling insects from the pit into the stone jar one by one, and when they were almost full, they pulled them aside and poured water into them, and the men in black sprinkled some liquid into it that I don't know what it was, and the worms began to stab and dissolve, and the slaves took a big wooden stick or a stone hammer and stirred it in it, and in the creaking sound, the insects were smashed and smashed more thoroughly, and the viscous black-brown juice in it flowed out, and then the whole stone jar became mushy.

The air was full of that earthy smell, Lu lightly turned pale with disgust, what else did she not understand when she saw this?

It turns out that this is the origin of the sugar cake, God sugar cake, she can't ignore the two things of sugar and cake anymore, okay!

The sugar cake is not finished, the mushy thing in the vat still has to be boiled, and then placed in a huge boxy mold to precipitate, the upper layer of liquid will become brown amber, looking transparent and clean, after a day and a night, this liquid will also freeze, people pour it out of the mold, cut off the thinner layer with impurities at the bottom, leaving a thick upper layer without impurities, cut into small pieces, and you can load the car and faint out.

This is the sugar cake, which was fainted by the food distribution team from the White Salt Tribe, fainted in the construction site, and was eaten by the people who built the Great Wall.

Lu gently spent a day and a night figuring out all the journeys, and her expression changed from puzzled to confused, to shocked, to angry, to disgusting, to cold, and now cold and numb.

So the so-called sugar cake is made up of a bunch of bugs, a pile of dirt, water, and then an unknown powder and some kind of liquid.

It takes about four or five days to introduce the insects, feed the insects, wait for the insects to ferment (swell), and then mash, boil, solidify, and cut, and the whole process seems to be troublesome, but the "sugar cake" that can be obtained is also very considerable, and most importantly, it does not require capital.

And the food that was provided to the people, and they didn't have to pay anything, was there anything more beautiful than that?

Lu thought lightly with a blank face.

She took a deep breath and carefully moved her stiff body, preparing to retreat first, when suddenly there was an angry shout: "What are you doing!

Lu looked over and saw a masked man in black (she now seriously suspected that the people were covering their faces because they thought it smelled too bad) kicked a slave to the ground and smashed a piece of worm cake (she couldn't call it sugar cake anymore) in the face.

"What did I say, you can't have half a foot in the finished sugar cake, one more, I'll cut off one of your legs!" the man said fiercely.

The slave begged for mercy, but the masked man grabbed a large stone hammer and threw it at the slave's leg.

Lu frowned lightly, and hurriedly raised his hand, the trees closest to the man and the slave were suddenly swayed from side to side by the strong wind, and a thick branch broke down, and was blown by the wind and smashed towards the masked man, the masked man was stunned and smashed, but when he fell, the stone hammer in his hand hit his own foot.

"Ah!!" In the pig-like cry, everyone else was alarmed, and the slave who fell to the ground was hurriedly pulled up by his companions and hid in the crowd, and the other masked men could not find anything strange, they could only think that the masked man was unlucky, and when he lifted it up, his face was also scratched by the branches, his face was covered with blood, and his feet were also smashed by himself.

It was supposed to be a masked man at the head who thought he was stupid and kept screaming, waved his hand and asked someone to carry him away, reprimanded the slaves, told them to continue working, and left himself.

Lu gently watched the chaos end, and snorted coldly, telling you to disgust me! Wait first, and then come to clean you up later.

She quietly left the place, and when she stepped out of the mountain, she felt that the whole air was very good.

In the evening, she met with Ye again and talked about the process of making sugar cakes, and Ye also showed a disgusted expression, and said with an ugly face: "When there is nothing to eat, we often eat insects, but it is really ...... to make it like that."

Look, people who eat bugs often can't accept it, and I really don't know who invented the way to eat it.
