93. Eat bugs
Gu Buwu often took Yuanyuan to find children who were about their age to play with.
I saw that those children were surrounding a pile of discarded wood, as if they were looking for something?
Gu Wuchang immediately pulled Yuanyuan and ran over to join in the fun, "What are you doing?" ”
The children in the village were probably not very familiar with the two newcomers, and when they heard Wuchang greet them, they did not respond immediately, but glanced at their brother and sister with some detachment, did not answer, and continued to look for something.
Gu Wuchang didn't pay attention to him and Yuan Yuanyuan, and he was not embarrassed, so he pulled Yuanyuan and came over cheekily.
"What are you looking for? Maybe we can help you find it! ”
Yuanyuan obediently followed behind the fifth brother, and he didn't dare to run around.
The two of them also followed the children in the village, and looked around the pile of wood for a while, not knowing what they wanted to do.
Finally, I saw a boy who was about the same age as Gu Wuchang, pinching a white bug, and shouted excitedly, "Found it!" I've found another worm! ”
Then I saw a slightly older teenager rushing over with a cloth bag, "Quick! Put the bugs in the bag, and we'll roast them together later! ”
The little child immediately put the insect he had picked up into the big child's bag.
Everyone glanced at it enviously, and continued to look for it more and more seriously.
"Let's keep looking, find a lot of bugs, you can eat them later, this bug tastes delicious! It's even better than meat! ”
Hearing this, a group of children couldn't help licking their lips, and they continued to look for it carefully.
When Gu Wuchang and Yuan Yuan saw this, they finally knew what they were looking for, and they excitedly surrounded the large pile of waste wood and said, "We will also look for it with you!" ”
They knew about looking for this bug, and after their exile, Daddy often took them with them to look for food, and when they saw some rotten tree trunks, they would see if there were any such bugs.
This tree insect tastes so good that a simple barbecue can become a delicacy.
No wonder this pile of timber is placed here, and they don't use it to build a house, but they use it specifically to find these tree worms for them.
Several children in the village also ran over to find insects, and they were a little repulsed at the moment, "This is our first place, it's our territory, you are not allowed to rob us!" ”
Gu Wuchang pursed his lips, "Where did we rob you?" This pile of timber was originally moved to my house to build a house, and it is my family's, so why don't you let us find it? ”
A few children were unconvinced, "Where is your family?" Our father moved it for you, not your family, and if it weren't for our father's help, your family wouldn't have this wood at all..."
"Then you ...... yesterday"
Gu Wuchang opened his mouth and wanted to say something to refute, but was interrupted by Yuanyuan to say what he was going to say.
"Brothers, sisters, brothers and sisters, let's look for bugs together, and then put them in your bag together and eat them together, okay?"
Hearing Yuanyuan's words, several children stopped arguing, looked at each other, and hesitated.
"Otherwise, let him catch bugs with us, anyway, the bugs they caught are also in our bag, and they won't be robbed of us."
One of the young ladies said.
Another little boy was still a little worried, "Then we have to give them food later, if they only caught a few small insects, but they shared so many insects with us to eat, then wouldn't we lose a lot?" ”
"Then wait a minute, ......"
The young lady was about to say something more, but was suddenly interrupted by the big brother who kept the insects, "Okay, let him catch the insects with us, and put the insects caught in this bag, as for how to divide them, let's talk about it when it is roasted and eaten, I don't know how many there are now, whether it is enough to divide it!" ”
This big brother is about thirteen or fourteen years old, and most of the teenagers of his age are still helping the adults, and he is the only one who is still playing with this group of children.
The children also liked to listen to their older brother, and when they heard him say this, they all nodded in agreement.
Gu Wuchang and Yuanyuan, the brothers and sisters, quickly integrated into this group of children and followed together to find the little bugs.
Yuanyuan's luck is really good, every few moments can catch one or two worms, and half of the bag of punches will be found by her, which makes those children envious and admired.
Soon, the big brother's cloth bag was full.
"Enough is enough, let's take these bugs and burn them first!"
Hearing this, Gu Wuchang immediately volunteered and said, "Leave it to me, you can burn this insect and burn it directly in the fire, right?" Let me tell you, you burn it like this, it's too ordinary, the taste is just like that, there will be a risk of burning, waste the worms that everyone worked so hard to catch, leave it to me, I know how to make this worm, delicious and delicious, you have never eaten it! ”
The children in the village looked at him with some doubts, "Give it to you, you won't eat it secretly, right?" ”
Gu Wuchang patted his chest and promised, "Absolutely not, you can count how many there are by yourself, if there is one missing, I am looking for ten to accompany you!" ”
Seeing Gu Wuchang's assurance, the children looked at him suspiciously for a long time, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement, "Okay, look at how delicious you are!" ”
"Anyway, we're all watching from the side, and you don't dare to steal it!"
Gu Wuchang immediately began to tinker with these bugs.
Then he went to a clearing and set up a stove to make a fire.
The others followed, and when they saw that they were going to make a fire, they also hurried to collect firewood.
The insects that Gu Wuchang burned were really different from those burned by others, and there were quite a lot of tricks.
He first wrapped the worms in leaves, which he carefully selected from the dealership, and then put another layer of mud on the outside, and when he burned them, he buried the lumps of mud wrapped in the worms under the fire, and when they were finished, they were peeled off after simmering for a while, and then they were dug out and eaten.
Everyone stayed by Gu Wuchang's side, watching him operate to prevent him from stealing food.
Occasionally, I heard him ask someone to help with things, and he cooperated to help.
When the insects were roasted, they cracked the dirt and peeled off the green leaves, only to see that the insects were yellow on the outside and tender on the inside, and the smell of them was salivating.
"It smells so good!" All the children couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, and reached out to grab a few to taste.
The fourteen or fifteen-year-old eldest brother opened their hands and said solemnly: "Everyone must abide by the rules, don't rob, I'll send it to you!" ”
The little ones immediately formed a habitual queue.
Yuan Yuan and Gu Wuchang joined their team for the first time, and they didn't react for a while, and when they saw that they were all queuing, they hurriedly followed and lined up together.
Because the two didn't know the rules before, they could only grab the last position when they went to line up at this time.
I saw that the big brother glanced at the long line, and then at the insects wrapped in big leaves in his hand, and said elementally: "All stand up, don't cut the line, I'll send you bugs to eat now!" ”
The children immediately stood up, drooling and waiting for him to send the worms to their hands.
The big brother first sent himself 5 worms and put them in his bag, and then turned over the first one by one. Each person is also issued 5.
Yuan Yuan and Gu Wuchang waited in line at the back expectantly.
Gu Wuchang said to Yuanyuan with excitement on his face: "Sister Yuanyuan, let me tell you, the worm I burned today is guaranteed to be particularly delicious, it is made according to the recipe on the pork bone you gave me, it is delicious, you will know it later!" ”
Yuan Yuan heard the fifth brother praise like this, and she was also looking forward to it, watching the big brother send the insects to the hands of the children one by one, and seeing that they were about to be sent to her own hands, she immediately happily stretched out her hand to pick it up.
Who knew that the big brother shook the big leaf wrapped in the worm, only to see that it was empty.
"I'm sorry, no."
