Zhang Chao and his father chatted in the shade under the tree, and they were not idle, a group of bear children, who caught frogs, grasshoppers, and locusts.
After catching it, tie one leg with straw, and then get together to fight insects.
"Up, up, up" "Bite him, bite him" Looking at the excited appearance of a group of guys, Li Chao was just laughing on the side.
The old man said, "You are also really bold enough to bring a group of such noble children to work as coolies." ” "It's not coolies, it's just exercise.
What is noble is only their origin and bloodline, and whether they can keep their ancestral business or not depends on their own ability.
If they just stand up and don't know the suffering of the people, they will be disconnected from this society, which is not a good thing. ” Cheng Qian's big locust was very big, but it was useless, and he always wanted to escape, but the angry Cheng Qian trampled him to death.
Li Chao called Cheng Qian with a smile, "Locusts are actually quite delicious, you go and catch more, and I'll get them for you to eat when you get home." ” "Locusts can eat too" Cheng Qian looked incredulous.
"Did you eat it last time, how does it taste?"
asked Li Chao.
"It's okay."
Cheng Qian thought that he had learned a few things in order to eat a few last time, but in the end, he almost burned the Li Mansion, and as a result, he not only wrote a review of thousands of words, but also picked up dung for several days, which was unbearable.
However, the roast is really good, and it tastes crispy.
Locusts and geese are a bit alike, not like they look, but they both eat green.
It's very good to eat green, and you can eat everything.
In the rice field, as long as the rice field grows stable after transplanting, you can let the ducks go to the field and eat some pests.
But he would never dare to let the geese go to the field.
If the goose goes down to the field, it can eat up the rice seedlings.
The same is true of locusts, if they are few in number, they are better, and they have limited food.
A drought year is often followed by a locust plague.
Because the eggs of locusts do not die, then the locusts will be overwhelming, and will eat up all the green crops and plants.
Locusts are also called grasshoppers in some places, and they are very large anyway.
In fact, the ancients also ate locusts, and when there was a locust plague, the whole world was covered with locusts, and the people would also catch locusts and eat them.
However, locusts are numerous and fast-moving, and they can quickly gnaw at a place and then fly away.
Therefore, even if you catch locusts, the time is very short, and it is like fishing in a river.
Some rivers near the sea, some fish will swim into the river from the sea every year, to the upstream to spawn, this time fishing, is very easy, but there is also a time, after this fish flood is gone.
In later generations, locusts even became a delicacy, and there were countless delicacies made with locusts.
Spicy locusts, fried locusts, pickled pepper locusts, locust-stuffed fried dumplings There are even some rather flattering names, such as Flying Locust Tengda and so on.
According to the records of the Compendium of Materia Medica, locusts have high medicinal value, rich nutrition, tender meat, delicious taste, and even the structure of nutrients is more reasonable than that of birds and beasts.
However, there are fewer people who eat this kind of thing, just like there are more people who eat shrimp and fewer people who eat crabs.
This thing looks too fierce, and it's still a worm.
But Cheng Qian, they are all just children, and they have eaten roast last time, and they feel good.
Now listening to Li Chao's flickering, he ran excitedly to catch locusts.
Although it is not a locust plague year, many locusts can still be seen in the fields during the harvest season.
Locusts are actually quite easy to catch.
It's just that if it's in the locust plague, there are too many locusts and they move too fast, so it's difficult to catch.
After a while, I have caught a lot, and the servants have also helped, and the locusts in this place are considered unlucky, and they have almost been caught, and they have caught a pocket, at least a few catties.
Li Chao directly put the bag into the puddle on the side.
"Alright, let's get back to work" Seeing that it was still early, Li Chao planned to do it again.
When the sun rose higher and higher, and the sun became more and more vicious, everyone was also embarrassed, and Li Chao announced the end of the morning's work.
The rice in the barn is loaded, sifted, and then loaded into baskets.
The threshed straw is rolled one by one, spread out and dried in the field.
After the straw is dried, it can also be used as forage for cattle and sheep in winter.
"Cover the threshing machine and go home" "I'll go get the locusts" Cheng Qian kept thinking about the bag of locusts, and drowned in the puddle for a while, and the locusts were already dead.
When they got home, they couldn't take care of resting, so they asked Li Chao to make locusts for them to eat.
Li Chao plans to make a fried grasshopper first, after all, he is not a poor person, and he eats locusts not to be full, but to be a snack, and he pays attention to color and flavor.

"Can locusts really eat?"
Cheng Qian took a group of friends to circle around Li Chao, and he still didn't believe that these flamboyant insects could be eaten.
Li Chao just smiled.
The locusts had drowned, and Li Chao first set up a pot to boil water.
Take out the locusts first and put them in a basin, wait for the water to be poured out, stir them with a shovel, wash them almost clean, scoop them up, and drizzle them dry.
"Bring the salt."
Sprinkle fine green salt on the locusts that have been washed and drenched in good water, mix well and marinate, so that it can be more flavorful.
The locusts caught are both female and male, and the female has a large belly and a lot of seeds in it, and it will be like crab roe when it is fried.
There are also some large ones with very hard wings, and locusts have two layers of wings, the outer one is protective, and the inner one is very light and thin, and it is flying.
The soft wings inside are fried and delicious, but the outer wings have to be torn off first.
Li Chao pickled while tearing off the outer wings, and asked Cheng Qian and them to help.
Locusts are generally green on the outside, but when they are blown up, they are all the same color, golden yellow.
"Then start exploding" Cheng Qian was quite bold, pulling up his wings and being so cruel, he was very happy.
Re-set the pot and turn the fire on the fire.
In fact, it is fried and fried.
Stir-fry slowly over low heat, save oil and not be greasy, and fry slowly to make it more fragrant and crispy.
Put oil in the pot, first put the peppercorns in it and fry them, fry them to bring out the fragrance, take out the peppercorns, then pour in the pickled locusts, and fry them slowly over low heat.
Slowly, the fragrance is stir-fried.
The more you fry, the more fragrant and fragrant it is.
Li Chengqian: They are already drooling.
"Teacher, how long will it take?"
"Wow, it's golden, it's so beautiful."
Li Chao patiently continued to turn the shovel and cook, and the most important thing was the heat.
To what extent should the heat of the fried locusts be, each grasshopper seems to be slightly translucent throughout its body, turning into a deep and heavy red, and its belly is swollen and full, which can already be out of the pot.
Before removing from the pan, sprinkle with salt again.
Li Chao used salt and pepper.
Fry it, sprinkle it with salt and pepper, you don't need anything else at all, just fry locusts in one place.
"Okay, this dish is called Flying Locust Tengda" "Flying Locust Tengda, that's a nice name."
However, although I was always hungry for the fragrance just now, it was really fried and put on the plate, but a group of little guys were just onlookers, and no one dared to be the first to eat first.
In the end, Cheng Qian was bold, and the first one reached out and put one in his mouth.
"Tastes good, another one."
After chewing a few times, Cheng Qian found that the locust was really delicious, fragrant and crispy.
"What kind of taste," Chai Lingwu asked busily on the side.
"Like fried river prawns, the salt and pepper prawns are as crispy and delicious" Chai Lingwu likes to eat Li Chao's salt-and-pepper river shrimp the most, and when he heard it, he couldn't hold it anymore, so he stretched out his hand and picked up a golden fried locust, and bit half of it in one bite.
Crunch "It's really delicious."
The other bears and children rushed up, and a plate of locusts from yesterday was instantly snatched up, and some of them were slow to grab t1706231537:
