"No, you have to fry it in oil. A strong aroma will come out in a few seconds, and after frying, it will turn red and look very attractive. When I was a child, I improved the dietary conditions at home and would often
Catch fish, catch crickets, catch some snakes, etc. and take them home to eat. 8 一中★文网"
"Still catching snakes?" Chu Xiaoyao asked with wide eyes.
"Of course, snakes are very common in my house. Sometimes they can be seen in the toilet, in the garden, and at home, not to mention by the river and down the mountain. They are very common."
"Oh my God, is that snake delicious?" Chu Xiaoyao showed her true nature as a foodie. Although she was afraid of snakes, she still did not forget her original intention and went straight to the topic.
Su Li was distracted. She was also very interested in eating, but when she mentioned snakes, she thought of the second meeting between the two. When Li Yifei went to Su's house, the encounter on the back mountain seemed like
Not too happy, after all, Li Yifei knocked her down
Su Li was very angry at that time. Even after finding out that Li Yifei was trying to save her, Su Li was still angry. Thinking about it now, the taste is different. Speaking of which, she had to thank that big snake for letting her go.
The fate between the two of them goes even further.
"Hey, Ah Li, my husband said snakes are also delicious. Do you want to catch a snake? You can bake it and fry it." Chu Xiaoyao pushed the distracted Su Li and said with great interest.
.
"Ah? That's not good. I heard that snakes are full of parasites and eating them will be bad for your health." Su Li came back to his senses and said.
"Oh, okay, but my husband just said that after catching the snake, tear off a little skin from the head, and then pull it gently, and the whole skin and internal organs will come out, leaving only the white snake meat. Wash it
After cleaning, cut it into sections, blanch it in hot water, and then make soup, or
The other method is to pickle it with salt, throw it into the hot oil pan, roll it a few times, and then it tastes delicious." When Chu Xiaoyao said this, she couldn't help but drool. She still couldn't help it.
If you have eaten it before, you will be greedy just by imagining it. If you have eaten it before, you will probably have an aftertaste of it.
For example, when Li Yifei got out of the car and took a look at the river, he knew that there was this kind of cricket in the river. Maybe the food now is not as delicious as it was in the past. After all, there was nothing to eat back then. He could only rely on the mountains to eat and the water to eat. However,
I still missed it very much, so I went down to the river to catch it with my own hands.
Back then, he was better at catching than other children because it was very simple. The rocks where the crickets lived, or the rocks called the cricket nests, had freshly dug sand in front of them, but there was no sand underneath some rocks.
All the money he spent was in vain, so he always
Usually, they start directly towards the sandy stones and grab them accurately. They rarely have empty hands. This is not the case for other children. They don't seem to have discovered this secret, and they still rummage through them one by one.
Naturally the efficiency is low.
This is the cleverness. Li Yifei couldn't help laughing when he thought of this. Chu Xiaoyao stood on the shore, shook the bucket in his hand, and said, "Would you like some water?"
"Well, pretend a little, not too much."
"Okay, okay!" Chu Xiaoyao nodded quickly, and then urged Li Yifei, saying: "Hubby, hurry up and catch more. Then take it home and give it to your sisters to taste."
"Okay!" Li Yifei agreed. There are a lot of cockroaches in this small river. This kind of thing has many scientific names, such as Changbai Mountain lobster, grass lobster, water cockroach, cockroach clip, cockroach, and cockroach is a creature that lives in cold water.
, living in stony waters such as rivers and streams with clear water and no pollution. Regarding water quality
They have extremely high requirements and are sensitive to pesticides and chemicals. Slight pollution can cause their death. At present, due to the extensive use of pesticides in rice fields in recent years, the living area of the crickets is getting smaller and smaller, and their number is getting smaller and smaller. Only in the Northeast
It can occasionally be seen in forested areas and in some unpolluted rivers or streams.
It is shaped like a lobster and is small. The first pair of legs are claw-shaped. There are guard whiskers and two sharp stingers on both sides of the mouth. It lives in unpolluted fresh water and is the intermediate host of paragonimiasis. It is an omnivorous creature.
It feeds on small microorganisms, insects, fresh moss and other particles as its main food. It also feeds on small fish, tadpoles and soft-bodied insects in the river. In winter, it also eats overwintering forest frogs. It often sneaks under rocks when hiding.
Sometimes it burrows into soil holes and tree roots. Occasionally it surfaces. It walks by paddling its tail in reverse direction. It moves in the opposite direction to its head. The cricket's growth is achieved by shedding its shell. Each time the shell is shed, it grows bigger.
A circle. The shell that has been removed is soft and shaped. Because of poor eyesight and fear of light, it moves slowly and is often easily captured by people or animals because there is no time to dodge. The flesh of the cricket is tender, white and rich in nutrients.
This is really delicious for children in the north. It is fresh from the river, and after being fried, the whole shell can be eaten. You can swallow it after chewing it. It is not as hard as crayfish.
The operation to capture the crickets began. According to Li Yifei's clever method, he quickly caught more than a dozen. One of them was particularly large and a female. Under its shrimp feet, there were a bunch of small crickets, all of which looked like
Sticking to it, those little guys are actually alive. This sight makes Su Li
He and Chu Xiaoyao were surprised. They filmed it with their mobile phones and broadcast it live to the women at home. When they saw the female shrimp, they felt compassion and said: "Let's let it go. Today
We have caught so many, we have to leave some small ones for the river to avoid catching them all."
"Okay, so are the others. If you catch those with eggs or those that have hatched, let them go!" Li Yifei ordered the others, but after several security guards figured it out, they also rolled up their trousers and went down to the river to catch them.
catch.
With more people and greater strength, it took almost only twenty minutes to catch hundreds of them. Li Yifei arranged for people to pick up tree branches and temporarily built a barbecue grill. The security guards were also very familiar with this and completed it quickly. Chu Xiaoyao
He and Su Li clumsily took out a few crickets and prepared to clean the internal organs, but live shrimps can bite people. For a while, the two women yelled, which was quite interesting.
The internal organs are returned directly to the river. The small fish and other crickets will come to eat. Don't worry. I threaded several strings with willow sticks on the roadside. I thought there was no salt, but a security guard rushed to a car like a whirlwind. Soon,
Carrying a small box, he opened it and saw that there was not only salt, but also oil, chili, soy sauce, vinegar and sugar. It was all available. This was so good that Li Yifei did it himself.
With his hands, he placed a few strings of crickets on the fire, applied a little oil with a brush, and sprinkled a little salt. Soon there was a crackling sound and a strong fragrance. Chu Xiaoyao stared at it.
With big eyes, she squatted next to Li Yifei, holding her chin with her hands. She couldn't bear it any longer. She kept asking Li Yifei when it would be ready and when it would be finished. The smell was so exciting that she wanted to taste it.
.
Su Li was about the same. He stared expectantly at a few strings of shrimps on the fire. Li Yifei laughed and asked the security guards to catch them. There were enough crickets here. Maybe almost no one came here, so these guys breed very well.
If there are many, catching hundreds of them will not cause ecological damage.
Of course, there is actually no meat in this thing. When I was a child, there was really nothing to eat, so this thing looks very delicious. Now, people like the Li family have developed very demanding appetites, so they may not like it.
A few skewers were baked quickly. Li Yifei handed one skewer each to Chu Xiaoyao and Su Li, and threw the rest to the security guard. One of them came today to solve the cemetery matter, but it was not a big deal. Li Yifei did it himself.
I have come forward, and if it is still difficult to solve, it is an accident. Now I am enjoying this kind of delicacy that I only had when I was a child, and that is worthy of happiness.
Because the conditions are simple, the food may not be very delicious, but it is better than fresh. After roasting it for a while, the scent of the crickets will escape, which will make your taste buds excited. The two girls usually ask Li Yifei how to eat, while grinning.
Chew hard.
"It's delicious. Am I hungry? No, it's just delicious." When Chu Xiaoyao learned that the whole shrimp could be eaten, she was not willing to throw away any bit of it and ate up the shrimp bit by bit.
.
"Spit out whatever you can't bite, don't worry about waste!" Li Yifei said with a smile.
"No, no, it's really delicious. I've never eaten this kind of... cricket, nor have I eaten crayfish like this. It turns out that they can be chewed." Chu Xiaoyao said, moving towards her hand.
Another roasted cricket in the middle blew, and its cheeks swelled greatly.
Li Yifei smiled and said: "Haha, you can eat it if you like it. Ah Li, what about you?" While speaking, he directly threw a whole cricket into his mouth and chewed it. This kind of thing is eaten without shelling it.
Yes, after all, there is not much meat in total. Except for the shrimp tails, there is really no meat. Even the shrimp tails are a layer of hard shell. If you really peel them off, there is really nothing. Eating them with the shells together actually has a different taste.
of.
Li Yifei swallowed it in a few mouthfuls, and Su Li nodded slightly. Compared with Chu Xiaoyao, she ate much more delicately. She nodded and said: "It tastes good. I haven't eaten it before, and it's better than expected."
It’s a bit chewy, and I’m thinking that if I use the method of making crayfish, it should be even chewier.”
Of course, hard-shell parts, such as pliers and shrimp tails, are still not easy to chew. Li Yifei doesn't care, but the two women need to chew for a while, otherwise they are afraid of scratching their esophagus if they swallow it. Li Yifei asked her
The two of them vomited out some parts, so there was no need to force them to eat.
The barbecue continued here. After ten skewers were grilled, Li Yifei personally delivered them to the top. Several aunts were still busy working. When they saw the roasted crickets, they said: "Is there such a thing in the river? This is a good thing.
Ah, when you were little, you didn’t have much to eat.
These things satisfy my hunger. I still remember that there is a small fork in the river next to my house. The water in it is not deep. You guys went to catch fish. There were all soft fish under the rocks. Go home and clean them.
, you can put it in the oil pan and fry it directly.”
