Zhang Shouzhong reluctantly followed Wang Mingyuan to the kitchen of Zhiqing Point.

The reason why he still went was more because of curiosity, he wanted to know if the locust could really be eaten, and how to eat it.

It was already dinner in the evening, Wang Mingyuan simply scooped up some rice and boiled it in a copper pot, and Zhang Shouzhong happened to be guarding it.

Cooking rice with wood is not as convenient as using a rice cooker, and you need to be careful to rotate it at any time, otherwise if you are not careful, the rice at the bottom of the pot will easily become charred, and even the whole pot of rice will be full of mushy smell.

The rice cooked by experienced people will have a layer of golden fragrant pot at the bottom, which is a rare delicacy for many post-70s and post-80s.

The grasshoppers caught in the bucket in the afternoon have not had time to wear bamboo silk and fix them on the bamboo frame to dry, and they are wriggling and rolling in the bucket one by one.

Wang Mingyuan deliberately picked out more than 40 thumb-sized locusts from inside, there was no wine, he chose to scald them to death directly with boiling water, and then used a knife to open the intestines and stomach, cleaned up the few debris inside, added salt to scrub and clean, and fished them out and put them away.

In fact, Wang Mingyuan also felt disgusting about the locusts from the bottom of his heart.

In fact, he only began to learn about this creature after he learned that pharmacies bought grasshoppers.

As soon as the mobile phone web page is opened, you can easily understand a lot of information by entering the search content, which is very convenient.

It was through this inquiry that he learned that grasshoppers are not only traditional Chinese medicine, but also ingredients with high nutritional value.

It was also in the many search terms that he saw a lot of cooking videos of locusts. Of course, this also let him know that such a wild locust the size of a thumb may not be able to be bought for three yuan on the market.

Among them, the simplest and crudest method is deep frying.

Belch...... It seems that there are a lot of edible insects, and most of them are fried.

Of course, there are also methods such as making soup, but now the materials here are limited, and there is no big ingredients to taste, so it will be fishy to make, and I am afraid it will be difficult to eat.

There are also slightly fried and then stir-fried...... Listening to the video introduction, it is very delicious and chewy.

But Wang Mingyuan will never dare to say this kind of approach. The most acceptable thing is just fried.

After the rice was cooked, Wang Mingyuan put on the iron pot for stir-frying, first put water to boil, put the grasshoppers in it and cook for two minutes, and then took out and drained the water.

After the iron pot was washed again, Wang Mingyuan brought the oil drum over, poured a lot of oil into it, and when the oil heated up to smoke gently, he poured the processed locusts into the pot.

Zhang Shouzhong's eyes straightened all of a sudden, and he put so much oil, which was enough to eat several meals.

He looked at Wang Mingyuan, and his heart twitched: This product, it's too special!

The moisture collided with the hot oil, making a continuous rattling sound.

Wang Mingyuan stirred carefully, and after a few minutes, the thumb-sized locust was dried up and shrunk a lot, looking black and yellow, but the smell was really fragrant.

Especially after Wang Mingyuan fished out the crispy grasshoppers and sprinkled them with a little salt and 99 fragrant chili noodles, it looked even more exciting.

took the bowl and chopsticks, added rice and handed it to Zhang Shouzhong, Wang Mingyuan signaled: "Try it!" ”

Zhang Shouzhong took the dishes and chopsticks, hesitated for a while, picked up a piece, plucked up his courage a few times, and finally didn't dare to eat, and even began to feel a little sick to his stomach.

"Third uncle, have you really been a soldier in the army?" Wang Mingyuan suddenly asked.

"Is this still fake?" Zhang Shouzhong rolled his eyes and glared at Wang Mingyuan.

"Then you don't even dare to eat fried locusts...... You've probably eaten bee pupa, bamboo insects, grasshoppers and the like, but it's pretty much the same thing. Wang Mingyuan said excitedly: "The soldiers are very brave, just this courage, I am very suspicious about the fact that you have been a soldier!" ”

"Who said I didn't dare to eat it...... I'll eat it for you! ”

Zhang Shouzhong said secretly in his heart: For the sake of putting so much oil!

He closed his eyes, plucked up the courage to throw the fried locust into his mouth, frowned and tried to chew gently, crispy, fragrant, with the blessing of 99 fragrant chili noodles, the more he chewed, the more flavorful.

His brow furrowed, and his eyes brightened, as if he had discovered some rare treasure.

Zhang Shouzhong almost couldn't wait to pick up another piece and stuff it into his mouth, let go of chewing, let go of eating, one piece after another.

Wang Mingyuan looked at it from the side and couldn't help asking, "Third uncle, is it delicious?" ”

"Uh-huh!" Zhang Shouzhong nodded and answered vaguely, and the movements at hand did not stop.

This is simply Bei Ye's possession!

Is it really so delicious?

Looking at Zhang Shouzhong's eating appearance, Wang Mingyuan himself began to doubt.

He apprehensively picked up a piece with chopsticks, hesitated to look at it for a while, forced the nausea and put it in his mouth, and soon his eyes lit up. This taste really does not lose the fried bee pupae at all.

So, a shallow bowl of fried locusts was quickly wiped out in the continuous competition between the two, and then looked at the big white rice in his hand, but there was still more than half a bowl left.

Gotta fry some more!

When it comes to really eating, not to mention Zhang Shouzhong, even Wang Mingyuan himself is a little unsatisfied.

Wang Mingyuan started to deal with it again, and Zhang Shouzhong also came to help, and the progress was a lot faster all of a sudden.

When the aroma in the oil pot spread again, Han Xiaoling, who had just come back from washing clothes and preparing to cook next door, couldn't help but quietly walked out of the door and saw that the two were entering a new round of snatching, and when they saw what they were eating, they couldn't help but feel sick to their stomachs, and hurriedly ran to the side, bending over and retching.

O locusts!

They are actually eating locusts, such a disgusting thing, how can this be delicious?

Who are these people?

All of a sudden, she was not even in the mood to cook.

Even if you make it, I'm afraid you won't have the appetite to eat it.

"Sooner or later, I'll be tortured by this guy and go crazy!"

Han Xiaoling muttered in pain on her face, and sat far away, for fear that she would turn back and smell the smell that was obviously very fragrant, but it was extremely terrifying in her imagination.

As everyone knows, Zhang Shouzhong also brought a shallow bowl out when he left, and when he passed by Han Xiaoling's side, he sent the bowl to Han Xiaoling: "Fried locusts, crunchy, delicious, do you want to try it!" ”

As soon as Han Xiaoling saw the crispy locusts in the bowl, the vomiting feeling that had finally calmed down flooded again, and as soon as she turned around and held on to the corner, she bent over and began to pour sour water, which was like a little daughter-in-law who had just become pregnant.

"It's definitely Wang Mingyuan who deliberately plucked me to disgust me!" Han Xiaoling thought to herself.

After yesterday's incident, she can already conclude that Wang Mingyuan is definitely not a serious person, and he can really do this kind of thing.

However, how could Zhang Shouzhong be such a sincere person as mixed with that kind of person, she couldn't understand it, and she didn't want to speak badly, so she had to wave her hand again and again and let Zhang Shouzhong leave quickly.

But I heard Zhang Shouzhong say with disappointment: "Xiaoling, you really don't have any taste at all, it's obviously such a delicious thing...... Alas! ”

After speaking, Zhang Shouzhong walked away quickly with the bowl, leaving Han Xiaoling alone to continue to mess around.

After the two of them were full, they saw that there was still a lot left in the bowl, and they were begged by Zhang Shouzhong with a thick face, and they were going to take it back to taste it for their children and mother-in-law, Wang Mingyuan naturally let him get his wish.

At least in this way, through Zhang Shouzhong's family, the information that the locusts can be eaten can be passed on.

Wang Mingyuan had already made an agreement with Zhang Shouzhong, so he told the others under the pretext of collecting grasshoppers to eat, so that they could keep their mouths shut, he believed that no one could eat the grasshoppers, and even if someone could really eat them, there would not be so much oil to serve.

In the matter of acquiring locusts, under the contest between curiosity and disgust, disgust is usually stronger, and no one will investigate it too much.

For example, Han Xiaoling, she just peeked at the door, Wang Mingyuan was clear, and even went to the door to see her retching.

Even if the people of Chenjiagou spread it, no one would be too interested in this matter.

Things will naturally fade away.
