Chapter 5 Can Locusts Be Eaten?
The bitter summer came to the spirit at once!
Grasshopper!
How did she forget! It's a good thing, grab it and fry it in a pan! Golden and crispy! Sprinkle some salt and pepper, and the children next door are crying! When I was a child, at my grandmother's house in the countryside, Ku Xia often caught grasshoppers with my friends and roasted them over the fire, which was quite a good snack!
These locusts eat all food in their stomachs, and the locusts in August are fattening, and their stomachs are full of seeds, so if you have a mouthful of protein!
It is the time of the locust plague, and the last thing that is lacking is grasshoppers! In modern times, there's nothing you can't serve! No matter how fertile the species are, they can be eaten to the point where they need to be artificially bred to be fed, and they are afraid of locust plagues?!
You can't get enough of it!
Just think about it, Ku Xia turned out a dusty coarse cloth in the kitchen, it should be used by the original family to cover dry food, Ku Xia took it outside and shook it vigorously, the net of this cloth is dense and will not go around, just catch locusts!
Liu Youxiang, who was cooking porridge on the fire, looked at her mother-in-law with puzzled eyes, and didn't dare to ask more.
Ku Xia took this cloth and went to the field, at this time there was no harvest in the field, so she didn't care whose land it was, she picked a piece and plunged into it!
It is said that the locust plague here is not serious, but compared to the old lady's hometown, the locusts come out of the room and slap them in the face!
In the old lady's memory, Ku Xia deeply understood the sentence that the locusts covered the sky and Tian He was lost.
There are also a lot of locusts in this Wangjia Village, Ku Xia grabbed a small amount of millet from the warehouse and sprinkled it on the cloth she found from home, and the locusts were like cats that smelled fishy smells, and they hulala and surrounded them!
It's the first time that Kuxia has seen so many locusts appear together! In the later life, there has been no locust plague in her country for decades, and this time it can obscure a swarm of locusts that can block a piece of light, but it really makes Kuxia have a lot of insight!
Bitter summer saw the opportunity to put away the linen! Throw this bag of locusts around frantically, smash and smash on the ground, and the locusts inside will stop a lot, otherwise I am afraid that it will not take more than a while, and this cloth will be gnawed by locusts.
These locusts are not afraid of people at all, and they are very easy to catch in the bitter summer.
Ku Xia returned home with a bag full of harvests, went directly into the kitchen, pulled Liu Youxiang Chop in front of the stove aside, took out two locusts from the cloth bag and put them on the branches used for the fire, put the branches in front of the stove, and used the residual heat of the flames to roast the locusts.
The locusts are so brittle that they will turn to ashes when they are roasted over an open fire.
Liu Youxiang was stunned for a moment when she led the children to watch on the side, and she didn't understand what Kuxia was doing, and when she saw her holding the locust, she felt a diaphragm in her heart, "Mother, what are you doing here?" How disgusting this thing is! Throw it away! ”
These well-fed and well-fed locusts grow big, and they look very hideous, not only disgusting in appearance, but also their habit of eating food, if it weren't for these locusts, they wouldn't even be able to eat a bite of food now, not only Liu Youxiang, everyone hates locusts deeply.
The bitter summer god said mysteriously, "Last night, a god gave me a dream, saying that this locust can be eaten, so you just wait." ”
Liu Youxiang was surprised, "What? Can this thing still be eaten?! Didn't I hear that someone ate locusts and died of eating them?! Don't be a fake fairy! ”
"Tsk, don't make a noise! Just try, and there is nothing to lose, if this locust can be eaten, we will not be afraid of starvation in the future! So many of us people, are we still afraid that we won't eat up this locust? ”
Listening to what her mother-in-law said, Liu Youxiang waited for a while, she squatted next to Ku Xia, and the fragrance of meat couldn't stop drilling into the tip of Liu Youxiang's nose!
The three children couldn't hold back their curiosity, and they also squatted next to them, twitching their little noses while watching, especially the most hungry Yu Daya, who couldn't stop swallowing saliva, staring at the locusts in Ku Xia's hands and their eyes were glowing green!
Liu Youxiang snorted, looked at the locust in Ku Xia's hand in search of the taste, and said in surprise, "Mother! Do you smell it? Why is it so fragrant! ”
Ku Xia picked up the branch and looked at it, making sure that the locusts on it had been roasted, so he took off one of the roasted yellow worms and handed it to Liu Youxiang, "It's more fragrant to eat one." ”
Liu Youxiang looked at the locust in her hand, it was dry after it was cooked, the locust's two big eyes were staring at her like that, the crooked claws were no longer moving, the transparent wings were burned clean by the fire, and the knotted body was more obvious, even though Liu Youxiang was very hungry now, but in the face of such a disgusting thing, she really couldn't speak.
Liu Youxiang whispered, "Mother, can this thing really be eaten?" Some people have long said that this thing can kill people if they eat it! Let's not eat it, in case we ......."
"Tsk" Seeing her so ink, Ku Xia directly threw this locust into her mouth, and Liu Youxiang didn't have time to stop it!
When I smell the fragrance of the bitter summer, I have been secretly secreting my saliva frantically, and the locusts feel a little prickly when they enter the mouth at first glance, she doesn't put any seasoning, salt is a very precious thing in this era, and the bitter summer can be reluctant.
Regardless of the taste, it can fill the stomach, the ugly locust bitter summer tastes without psychological pressure, the locust eats a little bitter, the fire is baked, it is indeed as bitter summer thinks, the locust's stomach is full of seeds, a bite crunchy, bitter summer then throws one into the mouth, and the food is fragrant!
"Milk, what's the smell of this big bug?"
Yu De, the eldest brother of the twins, couldn't help but ask when he saw that Kuxia was eating so deliciously.
Ku Xia subconsciously replied, "Crunchy, chicken flavor!" ”
Liu Youxiang was stunned, "Huh? Can this thing still smell like chicken? ”
The younger brother Yu Cai looked exactly the same as his elder brother, staring at Ku Xia with eyes as round as his elder brother, and the locusts in his hand flowed all over the ground.
Ku Xia looked at the three children, the most eager is Yu Daya, the old lady often uses her can't work as an excuse not to give her food, she is the least food in the family, if it weren't for the uncle and uncle in the family, save food from their mouths to secretly give her food, as early as on the way to escape the famine, Yu Daya starved to death.
So she gave the other locust left on the stick to Yu Daya.
Yu Daya looked at Ku Xia in disbelief, Ku Xia handed it forward again, Yu Daya quickly took it with both hands, took it off and threw it into her mouth!
Ahh
She doesn't care if this thing looks terrible, Yu Daya knows that she is very hungry now, she wants to eat something, usually she drags the grass leaves on the side of the road to eat, but then the grass leaves have no choice, she can only eat soil.
The eldest brother and the second brother said that eating soil belly would hurt, so she stopped eating it.
Yu De looked at her curiously, "What's the matter?" Isn't it delicious? ”
Liu Youxiang also followed to see Yu Daya, Kuxia had already continued to roast locusts.
Yu Daya nodded violently, chewing the locusts in her mouth and reluctant to swallow, and cherished the wooden sticks made by the skewers of locusts.
Seeing that she and Ku Xia ate so deliciously, Liu Youxiang couldn't help but roast locusts with Ku Xia!
Soon Kuxia baked two more skewers, and she didn't eat them herself, but gave them to the children.
She had just eaten half a large apple and bread in the lab, and now she was not hungry at all, unlike these children, whose saliva was flowing like a river.
Yu De Yu took it and gave it to Yu Daya, the two brothers ate the same string, these two boys are much bolder than their mothers, and they don't blink their eyes, the three locusts on the branches are gone, and they don't care about the black hands and mouths that eat!
Yu Daya is similar, grandma rarely did not scold her, so that the hungry little girl temporarily let go of the vigilance in her heart, only food in her eyes, because the hungry and thin face of the rapid detachment, a pair of eyes are unusually large, staring at the locusts that have not yet been roasted, I can't wait to shoot out two flames from the eyes to roast them!
