In fact, the reason why we go into the mountains at this time to pick the nest of yellow ants is because only in this season, yellow ants will lay a large number of eggs, and the yellow ants, yellow ant larvae and eggs are matched to make the cold ants more flavorful.

After Zhang Hui got off the tree, Wang Mingyuan saw that in such a short period of time, there were already a lot of ants crawling on her body, but fortunately, the trouser hems and cuffs were tightened, and it was difficult for ants to get in, but the neck and head were not easy to protect, and several yellow ants that climbed to Zhang Hui's neck had begun to bite wildly.

Wang Mingyuan didn't dare to be careless, and when Zhang Hui patted the ants on his neck and head, he hurriedly broke off a few branches and leaves from the bushes next to him and helped sweep the ants off her back and pants.

The attack launched by the yellow ant is a combination, first biting through the skin and then infusing it with formic acid.

As the saying goes, everything is poisonous, as long as there is enough of it.

It hurts to be bitten by a yellow ant.

Wang Mingyuan didn't pay much attention, and when he was helping Zhang Hui clean up the yellow ants on his body, a few of them climbed onto his feet, unceremoniously bit him on his feet and neck, and suddenly screamed, and quickly bent down to shoot down those ants.

Only then did he realize that the pain was not lost in the slightest from being stung by a wasp.

Look at Zhang Hui again, there are definitely a lot of bites, but she was stunned and didn't say a word, this endurance is extraordinary.

It's no wonder that the dish of cold ants is known as a delicacy that only the brave can enjoy, but the difficulty of obtaining and the pain of the bite are not something that ordinary people can bear.

"Aren't you hurting?"

Seeing that after Zhang Hui cleaned up the ants on his body, he walked back with the ant nest, Wang Mingyuan couldn't help asking.

"Nonsense, there are those that don't hurt, but, a little patience will pass, it is better to be bitten by this acid ant than to be stung by a bee, at least it will not make the skin bubble and the face swollen."

Zhang Hui thought for a while and leaned in front of the mobile phone camera: "Water friends, there are many kinds of ants that can be used for food, but there are two kinds of ants to pay special attention to, one is the red fire ant, and the other is the marching ant. ”

It's also a kind reminder.

If someone is interested in the food made by ants and tries it, it's not good if something happens.

Walking to the hillside more than ten meters away from the big green tree, Zhang Hui stopped again, she put on long-sleeved latex gloves, opened the bag containing the ant nest, and then quickly picked up an ant nest and tore it open, patting and shaking it with her hands, shaking the yellow lynx ants, white and tender larvae and crystal clear ant eggs in the ant nest into the bag.

This was repeated, but in two or three minutes, he shook the several ant nests that he had cut, and the ant nests made of leaves were thrown aside by her, and the mouth of the bag was tied again, and then Wang Mingyuan was called and left quickly.

When picking the ant nest on the big green tree, a lot of ants fell under the tree, and they had to change their positions.

Now in this operation, it is difficult to shake off the ants on the leaves that have been made into ant nests, so they still have to change their positions quickly.

Take a shot to change places, or wait to be bitten.

When the two returned to the bee farm, it was already past three o'clock.

The number of online people in the live broadcast room is still rising, reaching more than 30,000, which is far more than the previous traffic.

Wang Mingyuan looked at the fan value, and it had exceeded 60,000.

This growth rate is simply a turtle speed compared to those cattle who have grown by hundreds of thousands or millions overnight, but compared to ordinary newcomers, this speed is quite good.

After taking a closer look at the dialog box in the lower right corner, Wang Mingyuan learned that someone intercepted the process of Wang Mingyuan's live broadcast into a short video and forwarded it to rub traffic, and many people found it because of these videos.

Some people want to see the thrill of the mountains and forests, some are for the Dai delicacy of cold ants, and many are for the wild Zhang Hui.

Either way, the effect is still very good.

Wang Mingyuan secretly sensed the virtual small screen in his mind and found that the fan value was the same, and it was not affected by Zhang Hui's joining.

Wang Mingyuan was a little happy.

But what he didn't expect was that the fan value had increased so much, and there was still no change on the virtual small screen.

Before the growth of fan value, those county towns in Yun Province close to Mangxian County lit up one after another.

Wang Mingyuan began to wonder if the virtual small screen was out of order.

The live broadcast is still going on, he can't think about it, so let's wait for the live broadcast to end and study it again.

Next, it's time to make the ants.

When she came to the kitchen, the first thing Zhang Hui did was to turn on the induction cooker and start boiling water.

While waiting, Zhang Hui found a basin, poured the water from the thermos pot into the basin, and then shook all the good larvae and ant eggs of the collected acid ants into the basin.

"When we make this dish, there are three steps, the first step is to prepare boiling water at 60 to 80 degrees, scald these ants to death, and then pick out the impurities inside and rinse them!"

Zhang Hui explained, found the fast son, and after the ants were scalded to death in the pot, they began to carefully pick out the mixed branches and leaves with the fast seeds: "The temperature of the water should not be too high, which is easy to cause nutrient loss." ”

Wang Mingyuan knows that this is a very authentic approach.

After setting up the live broadcast phone and adjusting the shooting angle, I also stepped forward to help, and from time to time I looked at the messages sent by the water friends in the live broadcast room, and chose what I knew to answer.

Some sailors from Liangguang said that there were similar practices in their localities, and they chatted very hotly one by one.

Only then did he learn that in Liangguang, there are many delicacies made with ants, and even people who went up the mountain to find ant nests as ingredients were born, but they used another kind of black ants.

In fact, ants have always been insects that are used for both medicine and food, and it is not only in Yun Province that has this kind of eating method that many people think is worrying.

In Liangguang, people like to roast and crush the black ants, add the finely chopped pork belly minced meat, stir evenly to make meatballs, and then fry, and then stir-fry, season and collect the juice, becoming a delicious dish called black ant pork balls, pork fragrant bombs, black ants are crispy and sandy, forming two completely different tastes.

It is also used to fry with whitebait, then put in the egg mixture and mix well, fry in the pot, it forms a black ant whitebait with full color and flavor, eat it while it is hot, the whitebait and ants are crispy, the eggs are soft, the flavor is unique, and it is a good appetizer.

There is also a soup stewed with white fungus.

They are all delicious and nourishing.

Of course, the taste is naturally different in different regions, and many people are looking forward to what this famous dish of the Dai family will taste like, at least, the ants used are different.

It took more than half an hour for the two of them to remove the impurities from the acid ants floating on the surface of the water and rinse them off.

Next, the second process is the same, stirring and scalding with boiling water at seventy or eighty degrees again, which has the effect of cleaning again, and the most important thing is to mature.

After the second process, the sour ants can be used for cold dressing.

Zhang Hui found a colander, fished out the ants and drained them, and then began to prepare onions, ginger, garlic, coriander and other ingredients, and deliberately ran outside to find firewood to burn a small pile of ashes, and then found some dried peppers from the kitchen, put them in the ashes, and quickly roasted them into lake peppers, shook off the dust, and was packed in a food bag by her, and kneaded into chili noodles.

Probably attracted by the choking smell of roasted chili peppers, and already attracted by the actions of the two, Chen Youqing, who was operating a grinder on the road to polish the road, and another master also came over, and when they asked, they knew that they were making cold ants, and their eyes suddenly lit up, even if they knew that Wang Mingyuan and Zhang Hui were on the live broadcast, they refused to leave, and they said that they wanted to taste it.

This is a Dai delicacy that can only be eaten before and after the Songkran Festival, now everyone is busy, not many people have the leisure to make this more troublesome dish, now that they have met, do not eat a little, both of them feel very lost.

Zhang Hui also doesn't ink. Quickly pour the drained sour ants into a large bowl, add various spices, stir slightly and put on a plate, and form the ants cold.
