1272 1256. Put Oil In The Pan (2/5)

Chapter 1272

The locust plague is resolved, and the rest are some locusts.

Regardless of the number, locusts are a good thing for many people in Sunset Town, especially for Christians.

There was a real thing that happened in history. On November 21, 2004, millions of locusts swarmed to Eilat, a city on the shore of the Red Sea in Israel, destroying a large number of crops and flowers in this southern city of Israel, so that Israel The government used planes to spray insecticides to kill the locusts.

However, locusts are the only edible insects stipulated in Christian scriptures and Jewish laws. Some Israelis seized the opportunity to catch many locusts and took them home for cooking. Some food websites also list a wide variety of locust menus. , there are locust skewers, locust strips and fried locusts.

In this way, the catastrophe predicted by the government turned into a feast of food, and then the locusts moved eastward towards Jordan and Saudi Arabia, never passing through the fertile areas of northern Israel, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank...

This matter is really interesting, it is really soft to fear the hard, the hard to fear the horizontal, and the horizontal to fear death.

For many people in Sunset Town, locusts have also become food.

There are many Chinese immigrants in Sunset Town. Most of these people are middle-aged and elderly people, and they all have more or less experience in rural life. While living on a farm, locusts are an unavoidable food topic. Who didn’t have the experience of roasting locusts in the farmland when they were young?

Some of these locusts in New Zealand are very large, and can grow up to ten centimeters long. Although they are not as good as the grass guard giant weta, they are also plump. People catch the locusts, and after hearing experts say that there are no parasites, the pot is opened up.

Especially the Maori, they don’t care whether there are parasites or not. Every family catches locusts outside with nets. After catching them, they fry them in the pan. The fried locusts are served with fine salt and butter. There are salty and sweet tastes, and the taste is the same. tasty.

Wang Bo was busy fighting against the locust plague at first, but he didn't think of this problem. It was when he saw Atulu eating a box of fried locusts as a snack at work that he remembered that he could also get some locusts to eat.

After work, he took little Lolita to catch locusts in the wild. There was no need to think about pastures and farms. The locusts there were eaten up by chickens, ducks and geese, so he had to go to the wild to find them.

After driving the car to find a meadow, Wang Bo gritted his teeth and said, "You're welcome later, don't care about the size, if you catch locusts, tear off the wings and stuff them into the box, you know?"

Little Loli asked worriedly, "Will it be too cruel?"

Old Wang continued to grit his teeth: "Cruel? Do you know how much brother-in-law has suffered this time?"

"How big is it?"

Lao Wang began to count in grief and anger: "I don't say how many vegetables they destroyed, and I don't say how many pastures they destroyed, but I said that in order to let go of the chickens, ducks and geese, I pushed down all the fences of more than 100,000 yuan."

"There are also giant weta, chickens, ducks, geese, and purple water chickens launched an indiscriminate attack. Almost all the giant wetas in the pasture did not escape into the ground in time and were eaten. Mad, those are protective insects!"

Little Loli blinked: "How much loss is it?"

Wang Bodao: "Let me tell you this, if converted into starry sky sticks, at least one or two million starry sky sticks are needed!"

"How much?" Little Lolita's eyes widened.

"One or two million! Converted to Barbie dolls, there must be hundreds of thousands!"

The little loli said angrily: "Why are they so bad? We must let them go to the frying pan!"

There are still many locusts in the wild, and it is very easy to catch them. Wang Bo prepared some butterfly nets, that is, put a small mesh pocket on the end of a stick, and buckle the net cover, and there will be a few locusts inside.

The army commander and political commissar quickly understood what he was going to do, so they flapped their wings to help. They looked for large locusts, and then imitated the little Meng to make a dive attack, and they always succeeded once two or three times.

The army commander flew over with a locust in his mouth, and said proudly: "Ah, the army commander is capable, ah, the insect has escaped!"

The locust was not dead, it opened its mouth and immediately spread its wings to escape.

But it's not that simple, there is Xiao Meng hovering above Wang Bo's head, seeing the locust wanting to fly away, it flew down with a 'hoo', and then the locust became two pieces...

Xiaomeng was very melancholy, it couldn't help in this aspect, every time it slammed its mouth, the result was that the locusts were broken in two, and the smaller ones would be rotten, unable to catch the live ones.

The army commander is talkative. After catching locusts, he can't help but open his mouth and mutter a few words, so that the locusts can always run away. Wang Bo was so angry that he refused to change after repeated admonitions. After a while, the army commander didn't catch many. locusts.

On the contrary, the political commissar did a great job. It is a doer, diligent and honest in catching locusts, and every time it flies back, there is a harvest. With the help of the little Lolita's net bag, a box was quickly packed.

The strong man, Xiao Wang, the princess and the fat cat brothers are also catching locusts, but Lao Wang can't count on them.

Both Zhuang Ding and Xiao Wang couldn't do this job. Their claws were too big, and if they slapped them, the locusts would be smashed to pieces. The princess is flexible, but when she catches locusts, she doesn't give them to the old king, but eats them herself.

Brother Fat Cat can also catch locusts. After catching them, they will not give them to Lao Wang or eat them. Instead, they will play with them by themselves. After playing the locusts exhausted, they will switch to the next one, and they will never tire of it.

In less than half an hour, a large box in the carriage was filled with locusts. Wang Bo blew his whistle, and a group of youngsters, including Xiao Wang, immediately dropped their games and got into the car waiting to go back.

Fried locusts are the easiest, but he marinated them first, put them in a jar with salt water, marinated them overnight, hung them up in the morning to dry them, and fried them in an oil pan at noon.

Wang Bo carefully searched the Internet for relevant information, and after confirming that the locusts did not contain any parasites, he began to fry the oil.

Dried locusts are very easy to fry, and you have to take them out after a few seconds. At this time, the locusts have turned golden yellow, sprinkled with cumin and fine salt, and they are crunchy in your mouth, even better than beef and mutton. Delicious!

Little Lolita ate very happily, and said to Eva, "Sister, it's really delicious. The teacher said it's full of protein and fat."

Eva's pretty face was gloomy, and she waved her hand and said, "My sister is pregnant, so I can't eat this."

She can't stand eating bugs.

Wang Bo tore off the wings and legs, stuffed them into his mouth and ate them with a 'crunch', a mouthful of oily aroma, with cumin powder and chili powder, the taste was even better.

And because he marinated it with salt water overnight, the salty taste of the grasshopper is more thorough.

Qingyang followed suit, and Wang Bo asked, "Don't you think eating bugs is disgusting?"

After hearing this, Qingyang said contemptuously: "I have eaten both stick insects and fried centipedes, let alone this grasshopper? I have liked to eat this since I was a child, and now it costs thirty or forty yuan a catty in China. Afterwards, I didn’t eat much.”

Xiao Wang and the strong man don't eat raw grasshoppers, they eat them very vigorously after deep frying, but Lao Wang doesn't feed them. These bear children have too much appetite, and all the fried grasshoppers are not enough for them to eat.
