Chapter 454 New gameplay
“Ah, that’s it. The first time I ate cicada monkey, I ate it on fire...”
Zhu Wa’er’s eyes were blank. , as if recalling the taste, "My grandma seldom fried them for us."
That's not true. Frying cicada monkeys takes a lot of oil.
No one in the village is willing to give up.
Moreover, whether it is a cicada or a cicada monkey, the taste is not bad if it is cooked or grilled over fire.
"My family is the same, but I have made money, so I will fry it for me when I am happy."
Komori raised his hand and said, "The fried cicada monkey is delicious, and It’s fragrant and crispy, and Ida likes to eat it with wine.”
“Nonsense, it’s not delicious when fried, it has a weird smell, and it’s not as delicious as scorpion.”< br>
“Delicious fried!”
"The roasted ones taste delicious!"
"..."
"Uncle Fugui, tell me, which one tastes better, the fried cicada monkeys or the roasted ones?"
< br>"Haha, you guys, what's so noisy about this? You want me to see it? This is a roasted cicada. It's delicious when cooked.
Whether it's a tender cicada that has just shed its shell or has become The black cicada tastes better when cooked
As for the fried one, the fried cicada monkey is still delicious.
After soaking in salt water, wash the soil, then soak it in water with Sichuan peppercorns and aniseed, soak it for one night, and the flavor will be completely absorbed.
Fry it again the next day and it will be delicious. "
Chen Ling listened to their chirping and laughed: "Hey, speaking of this, I will take you to a good place later, and I will teach you some fun tricks..."< br>
The little kids were drooling when they heard this, and they were just about to ask more questions
Ruirui and Liu Nier, along with two big dogs, dug out several cicada monkeys at once. They screamed in surprise and lay on the ground just to pick them up.
I can’t pick it up at all.
“Good guy, this is where we dug several holes connected by cicada monkeys.”
Chen Ling took a look and saw that there were several holes connected closely under the tree roots. Cicada monkey cave together.
This situation is somewhat rare.
Don't look at the old willow tree just now, which is as densely packed as briquettes. They are all small holes left by cicada monkeys.
But in fact the cicada monkeys will not crawl out together.
They come out one after another.
It may take several days or even half a month to cause this situation.
"You brat are very lucky. It's just brother Liu Nier who taught you in vain and is so impatient."
After all, Ruirui is still young. Although he is much smarter than most one-year-old babies, it is impossible to be as sensible as a three- or four-year-old.
I am also impatient when it comes to fun things.
He learned about the monkey hole. He was quite interested in it at first when Liu Nier taught him, but he didn’t play with it for a long time because his fingers were too small and he couldn’t use it. Because of cleverness.
Even if you dig out the cicada monkey's hole, you still can't catch the cicada monkey in the hole.
He quickly ran out of patience.
With two big dogs, they dug around at the small hole under the tree.
Unexpectedly, those who dug randomly dug out seven or eight.
Chen Ling threw them all into the bucket and soaked them in water.
It is getting dark.
The cicada monkeys underground crawled out of the ground one after another and climbed to the nearest tree.
There are many trees and dense grass around Tutu Temple, so few people come here.
Provide a good living environment for cicada monkeys.
Every summer, the number is extremely large.
How can we catch them all if we just rely on these little babies to catch them every year?
Now that it’s dark, there are dense cicada monkeys crawling out everywhere.
Some climbed onto tree trunks, some climbed onto the stalks of weeds, and some even climbed onto the leaves of small trees that have grown up in the past two years.
Some climb very low and then become motionless in preparation for transformation.
There are also some who climb very fast. They have climbed to a very high distance in the tree and are still not satisfied and want to climb higher.
There is a cicada monkey climbing high and low on every tree.
I have already finished catching it.
As a result, when we circled back, a new cicada monkey climbed up the tree.
Chen Ling led a group of kids with flashlights and torches, but they couldn't catch them.
Give up those that are too high and leave them alone.
Wang Zhenzhen led Ruirui, and Ruirui rode Heiwa. The two of them were sweating, groping around the big tree for a while, and then looking for it in the grass.
“We, the rich uncles, can’t take it anymore, so put it in your little bucket.”
"Come, put it in, my place is almost full."
"Ah? Uncle, is your bucket full too? How many should you catch..."
" There must be hundreds of them. Someone is coming over there. We have caught enough, so let them catch them.” There is a little cicada monkey that has climbed so high that I can’t reach it.”
Chen Ling took a look and saw that it was really a very small little cicada monkey.
This little cicada monkey transforms into a very small cicada.
There are many patterns on the body and wings, which are very beautiful.
Compared with ordinary cicadas, they are much more beautiful and their voices are clearer and louder.
Every summer, they will emerge from the ground earlier than the giant cicada monkey.
Before it sheds its shell, this little cicada monkey is not much different from the ordinary cicada monkey in appearance except that it is much smaller.
But after catching it, Ruirui fell in love with this little one at first sight and refused to put it down.
Of course Liu Nier and the others would not snatch it from him, and told him not to play with it all the time. If it got bad, the cicada monkey would be injured and shed water, and it would become a cicada.
They never eat these little cicadas. They like to catch them and put them on the window, let them molt into cicadas, and then keep them for fun.
It doesn’t matter if you play to death, there is no waste at all after feeding the chickens and ducks.
“Hey, touch a cicada monkey, Fugui came out so early, how many have you caught?”
Several young men in the village held torches and turned around with various bottles.
“I’m not counting, there must be hundreds of them. My little bucket is full.”
Chen Ling took a flashlight and shined it into the little bucket to show them.
“Good guy, this is enough for you to eat for several meals.”
“There are not as many in the village as outside the village. We each walked around in a big circle before we caught him. A dozen or twenty.”
When we were young, when everyone came out to touch the monkeys, they liked to ask each other how many they had caught.
Then take it out and compare it.
Chen Ling didn't have a mother at that time, had a weird temper, and was not big-hearted.
If you encounter many more cicada monkeys than you catch, you will be so jealous that you can’t sleep at night.
Once Wang Xuecheng from Wang Jukun’s family arrested more than two hundred people. Chen Ling’s father did not allow him to go out to play in the village at night. He searched in the village and only caught about thirty people.
After learning that Wang Xuecheng had arrested so many people, he cried and made trouble after returning home. Chen Juncai had no choice but to take him out of the village and search around the river and the embankment. He forced him to catch him until midnight, and finally he had enough.
The next day without getting enough sleep, Chen Ling got up early, took his trophies and opened the door of Wang Xuecheng's house to show off to him, saying that he had arrested three people last night. More than a hundred, a hundred more than him.
Thinking about the proud look with his little head raised at that time, Chen Ling couldn't help but laugh. He turned to look at his son who was riding a dog back and forth in the farmland full of wheat stubble: "Come out quickly, don't do it." You are making a lot of noise inside, I will take you to the river to play.”
In addition to playing at the river, you also need to fill the bucket with water. The monkey has caught too many and the water cannot hold it. It will shed its skin on its own.
Add more water and drown them so they won't shed their skin again.
"Uncle, shall we go to Laohewan or the reservoir?"
"We don't have to go that far. Isn't there a small river in our village now? There is also a small river outside the elementary school. Duoshu, I will take you to have a fun time, and you can also try a new way to eat cicadas.”
Hearing this, the little kids were excited and jumped along the field path. Go straight to the village.
Going through the wheat field and walking into the village, many families gathered outside to enjoy the cool air, laughing and chatting.
When they heard the little kids shouting and yelling, with Chen Ling following behind them, they all asked him what he was going to do.
Chen Ling stopped and said with a smile: "Brother Dazhi, Brother Tateyama, are you going to have cicada fever?"
"How old is your child? You have children, and you still have cicada fever?" , you know how to make trouble."
Chen Dazhi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
Wang Lishan put down the cattail leaf fan in his hand and said: "Let's go, I'll go with you. Anyway, it's idle. It's better to make trouble with the baby than to sit here."
Chen Dazhi thought the same thing: "Just go, I'll hold some wheat straw."
As soon as the two of them moved, Chen Baoshuan and Chen Yuqiang followed.
There are quite a lot of trees here in Dayantang. As for the school, there are many trees, both inside and outside the school.
There are pines, cypresses and bamboos in the school.
Outside the school, there are more willow trees.
I like this thing the most, and it has tenacious vitality and is very easy to live.
At the intersection of the newly dug river and the big weir pond, the nearby slopes are full of thick willow trees.
A group of adults are making trouble, which is much more powerful than the little kids.
Each person held a pile of firewood and put it under the willow trees. Of course, they should stay away from the roots to avoid burning the trees.
Then light a fire.
Waiting for the flames to start, the fire gradually became brighter and brighter.
Chen Ling and the other adults stood under a willow tree and told the dolls: "Stay away and watch carefully."
The dolls responded one after another. , trotted aside, and jumped to let them start burning.
“Here we go.”
“One, two, three, kick...”
After Chen Ling shouted the slogan, several adults laughed and kicked the trunk of the big willow tree.
As several big willow trees shook violently, a continuous "squeaking" sound was heard, and countless cicadas screamed in panic, and threw them into the fire like dumplings. Lose.
The scene is very spectacular.
"Wow, I learned a lot."
The little children were shocked by the adults' hands and began to jump, clap their hands and cheer.
Soon, Zhao Yubao and his family were attracted. After knowing what they were doing, they stared at them with curiosity and opened their mouths.
"Why are these cicadas so stupid? What do you do with wings? Don't you know how to fly far away? Why do you kick the tree and fly into the fire so stupidly?"
< br>"Yes, just like a moth to a flame."
"..."
"Haha, Uncle Zhao, old Uncle Zhong, you all said that a moth is to a flame. , is this not clear?
Cicadas are similar to moths and also have phototropism.
If you kick the tree during the day, they will definitely fly away, but it will be different at night. Light a fire under the tree, it will smoke and burn, and it will still glow...
Let's go again He kicked the tree violently, and in panic, where else could they rush if they didn't rush into the fire? "
Chen Ling replied with a smile, and then waved to the dolls.
"Come here, come here and wait to eat the roasted cicadas." ”
The little devils immediately cheered and gathered around, helping the adults put out the fire.
Wang Lishan nodded approvingly when he saw this: "Yes, that's what you have to do. If no adults are around in the future, don't play with fire."
Chen Yuqiang heard this and said with a smile: "Uncle Tateyama, have you forgotten what Uncle Fugui said just now? They can't play with burning cicadas without adults. When we were watering the fields and keeping vigil at night, we had to have adults to help us, otherwise they would just do that. Even if I light the fire, I can’t kick the tree.”
“Haha, that’s right.
It’s really satisfying to eat some roasted cicadas at that time, even if it’s watered at night. As for me, I don’t feel tired or sleepy, and I can be happy all night long.”
Wang Lishan's words received unanimous nods of agreement from everyone.
“Yeah, yeah.”
Even if they are different in age, they all have the same memory of this "burning chi".
But at that time, I was basically not in the village. I was outside the village, in the fields or on the river beach. I would find a tree, light a fire, kick it hard, and watch the cicadas fall into the fire like rain. inside.
You will really feel happy from the bottom of your heart.
This is a rare fun that adults and children can enjoy together on a summer night.
The main thing is that you can play and eat meat.
......
As for playing with fire.
In fact, adults often tell you, and children all know it.
I don’t know, once you hit it a few times, you’ll have a long memory.
"Okay, okay, you can eat it. If you burn it again, it will burn to ashes."
Chen Ling quickly took the stick and pulled them out of the fire, burning them to black. Huhu Zhizhi.
The little ones followed suit, and soon they pulled out a lot of them.
“You know how to eat cicadas? If you don’t know how to eat, let your uncle Fugui teach you.”
"We know how to eat, eat the middle part, the meat is in the middle."
There is a big difference between roasted cicadas and fried cicadas.
Fried cicadas are tender cicadas that have just transformed from monkeys. They are fried whole and will not damage the cicadas.
The burning cicada is an old cicada that can fly on trees.
After falling into the fire, his body was burned.
Only the middle part after the head and butt are removed can be eaten. That thing is like a "saddle" shell, which is the back of the cicada.
It’s full of meat.
Chen Ling taught his son to break off the charred buttocks, break off the head, and blow off the black ash in the remaining middle section to reveal the tender red flesh.
Already cooked.
Chen Ling threw a piece into his mouth and chewed it carefully. A feeling buried deep in his memory came to his mind along with the familiar yet unfamiliar taste in his mouth.
"It's delicious. This thing is really delicious." Zhao Yubao and the two old men imitated Chen Ling and ate a piece, and their eyes suddenly lit up.
"It tastes a bit like chicken. There is no salt or seasoning. How can it be so delicious just by cooking it?"
Chen Dazhi and the others laughed when they heard this. Picking it up and eating it on the ground, he told them that the taste of roasted cicadas was actually very similar to the taste of roasted sparrows.
Roasted bird eggs are delicious.
