No.111 Yellow lynx ant
At this time, the Zhangjiaao mountain forest is far less than 80 years, the vegetation is not so prosperous, the humidity is much worse, not to mention the wild animals, except for wild boars, others are difficult to encounter, and even the annoying drought locusts are rare.
Although it is known as the dry grasshopper, it also needs to live in a humid place.
It is far less humid than 80 years, and it is the afternoon at this time, and the sun is at its strongest, so it is not the time for drought locusts, so there is no need to worry.
When it comes to pangolins, black bears, etc., Wang Mingyuan has not forgotten to popularize this as a common sense to protect animals, and he doesn't want to mislead these sailors because of his live broadcast.
Well...... We are good law-abiding citizens.
More than ten minutes later, Zhang Hui stopped next to a big green tree: "We have arrived, and the ingredients we are going to use today are on this big green tree." ”
Wang Mingyuan looked up for a long time, but he didn't see the reason.
Many sailors are also like Wang Mingyuan, a little inexplicable.
"Where? How can I not see it? Wang Mingyuan asked.
Zhang Hui stretched out his hand and pointed to the place where the big green tree was seven or eight meters high, and after looking at it for a while, Wang Mingyuan saw clearly that among the dense leaves, there were several lumps wrapped in leaves.
He immediately determined that what Zhang Hui brought him to find was the sour ant that is often used to make cold ants, also known as yellow lynx ants.
This is the same ant species he knows about cold ants.
This is an orange, very ferocious ant, distributed in the south, is the nemesis of many insects in the forest, especially good at team hunting, when encountering such as centipedes, praying mantis and other relatively large insects, dozens of ants swarmed up, and the division of labor is very clear, each clamped a part, tore in all directions, so that the prey could not move, and there are ants constantly attacking the prey vital point, that scene, comparable to the ancient car cracking torture, it can be seen that its ferocity.
The most authentic raw material for the cold ant dish is the yellow ant, so when Wang Mingyuan hurriedly checked the recipe of this dish last night, he paid special attention to this kind of ant with its own acid sac that looks very special.
However, without Zhang Hui's guidance, it would have been difficult for him to find the nest that was very hidden among the leaves.
Along the way, Zhang Hui did not stay too long, but directly led Wang Mingyuan to the foot of this big green tree, indicating that she already knew the location.
Wang Mingyuan couldn't help asking, "Did you know in advance that there were yellow ants here?" ”
"Otherwise, since it's a live broadcast, of course you have to prepare in advance, I went into the mountain a few days ago just to find them." Zhang Hui smiled.
It turned out that earlier, she had made up her mind to make this cold ant salad!
Speaking of nests, this has to mention another name of the yellow ant: the leafweaver ant.
Yellow ants are very good at building ant bridges between leaves, pulling together the leaves and sticking them.
The way of sticking to the leaves is very strange, the worker ants will pull the larvae out of the nest, come to the place where they need to be adhesed, and "tickle" the larvae through their feet, and the stimulated larvae will secrete a filamentous sticky, which is sticky, comparable to 502 glue, which can firmly stick the leaves together.
This is also the most interesting part, those larvae, like forcibly requisitioned "child labor".
It's just that after they become worker ants, they will do the same thing.
In a phrase from people: live the way you hate the most.
Yellow ants are small animals that form a large group of several ants, often in a single tree, usually with several nests, each with an egg-laying queen.
Small anthills are only the size of a fist, often the nests of new buildings, and the leaves used are still green, large enough to be the size of a pumpkin, and the leaves are dry and yellow.
And this time, the target is obviously those basketball-sized ant nests.
Wang Mingyuan pulled in the camera while explaining to the sailors in the live broadcast room.
This made Zhang Hui have to look sideways.
In her opinion, the highlight of the live broadcast of making cold ants should not be how to take the ant nest, make food and taste the three links, which she can do completely with her personal experience.
Wang Mingyuan's popular science, she found that there are so many interesting places for the little yellow lynx.
Of course, Wang Mingyuan pretended to be a big-tailed wolf in front of water friends purely with the help of the information consulted, but after the popularization of science, he made a difficulty, the nest of the yellow lynx ant, seven or eight meters high from the ground, how to broadcast live at close range has become a problem, not that it can't go up, but it's really difficult to operate after going up, after all, this is also a highlight.
In the live broadcast room, there is a constant clamoring for good deeds to take a look at the tree, and they are constantly brushing gifts.
was hesitating, but saw Zhang Hui begin to tie up the cuffs and trouser legs of his camouflage uniform, and took out a very finely woven mesh bag and a pair of scissors for cutting branches from his backpack, and then looked at Wang Mingyuan: "You or me!" ”
"That's what I said, I'm a big man, how can I let you do such a dangerous thing? Anyway, I'm also the one who has picked the hornet's nest on the tree, just ants, what can I do? Wang Mingyuan took the net bag and scissors: "How do you get it?" ”
"When you go up, the action is gentle, the action is too big to alarm the ants, it will be a large number of dispatches, not to mention being bitten, the harvest of ants will be much less, after you go up, quickly use scissors to cut the sticky branches, just put them in the bag, pick a few more." Zhang Hui admonished.
Wang Mingyuan nodded: "Do you bring a rope?" ”
Zhang Hui shook her head: "I didn't bring it, such a tree that is easy to climb, how simple it is, there is no need for it at all!" ”
"It's not for climbing trees, it's for hanging things."
Wang Mingyuan scratched his head, looked around, and found that there was a wild kudzu not far away, he immediately walked over, tore off a few vines and knotted them into one, and then tied them around his waist, and handed the selfie stick and mesh bag scissors to Zhang Hui: "After I go up, hand me these things." ”
Zhang Hui nodded, but when Wang Mingyuan walked to the tree and was about to climb the tree, he was stopped by Zhang Hui: "Wait, I'll come!" ”
"It's not appropriate, it's dangerous!"
"What's wrong, I lived in this place before I was fourteen years old, and when I was a child, I didn't go into the mountains with my father, and I didn't necessarily climb fewer trees than you, don't worry, and ......"
Zhang Hui handed the mobile phone to Wang Mingyuan and motioned for him to take a look.
Wang Mingyuan glanced at it, only to find that the screen was full of colors, and many people were swiping gifts.
"This girl is very arrogant, if this tree were me, I wouldn't dare to think about climbing so high!"
"I'm going to see my girl climb a tree."
"I'll see it too."
"People say it's easy to climb this tree."
"Let the girl climb the tree and pierce the clouds with arrows ten times!"
……
A group of guys who are looking for excitement and don't think it's a big deal!
"Are you sure?" Wang Mingyuan is still very worried: "But don't be strong!" ”
"Isn't that nonsense? I've climbed all the harder trees than this...... Don't worry, I'm young and haven't lived long enough. ”
"Okay, if you really can't climb up, come down quickly."
Wang Mingyuan really hasn't seen a girl who is good at climbing trees.
"Ink ......"
Zhang Hui glanced at Wang Mingyuan, untied the rattan around his waist, tied it to his waist, walked to the tree, and after a little inspection of the big green tree, he actually hugged the trunk of the tree, climbed to the tree more than five meters above the ground in a few clicks, and continued to climb up after a short rest.
Seeing this scene, Wang Mingyuan was relieved.
Zhang Hui's tree-climbing skills are no worse than him, and her movements are more gentle, looking at Zhang Hui who is constantly climbing, Wang Mingyuan only feels that she is like a very sensitive bobcat.
Not only Wang Mingyuan, but even the people in the live broadcast room looked stupid. Zhang Hui's performance exceeded everyone's expectations.
Soon, Zhang Hui arrived at the bottom of the largest ant nest, pulled the rattan and pulled Wang Mingyuan's tied bag, scissors and mobile phone together.
After getting the mobile phone, she held on to the branches, stood up carefully, and showed the seven or eight large nests hidden among the branches and leaves to the people in the live broadcast room, and then lifted the scissors, cut off the ant nests one by one and put them into a bag, put them down, and then hugged the trunk and quickly slid to the ground.
Wang Mingyuan couldn't help but give her a thumbs up: This girl is worthy of being a person who dares to beat her boss violently, she is too wild.
