1255. Feast of Predation (1/5)

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

Putting aside the number, locusts are good things for many people in Sunset Town, especially for Christians.

There has been a real thing in history. On November 21, 2004, millions of locusts flocked to Eilat, the city on the Red Sea, Israel, destroying a large number of crops and flowers in this southern Israel city, so that the Israeli government used aircraft to spray insecticides to kill locusts.

But locusts are the only edible insect stipulated by Christian scriptures and Jewish laws. Some Israelites seized the opportunity and caught many locusts and took them home to cook. Some diet websites also listed a wide range of locust menus, including locust strings, locust strips and fried locusts.

In this way, the government's expected disaster turned into a dietary feast. Later, the locusts moved eastward to Jordan and Saudi Arabia, and never passed through the fertile northern Israel, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank...

This is really interesting. It is really soft and afraid of hard people, hard and arrogant people, and arrogant people are afraid of life.

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

There are many Chinese immigrants in Luo Sun Town, and most of these people are middle-aged and elderly people, and they have more or less experience in rural life. When living on the farm, locusts are an unavoidable food topic. Who had never had the experience of roasting locusts in the farmland when he was a child?

Some of these locusts in New Zealand are very big and can grow ten centimeters long. Although they are not as good as the giant katydite of the forage guards, their flesh is also fat. People catch locusts and then hear experts say that there are no parasites, the pot is opened.

Especially Maori people, they do not care whether there are parasites or not. Every household uses a net to catch locusts outside. After they catch them, they put them in the pot and fry them. The fried locusts are accompanied by fine salt and butter. They are both salty and sweet, and have different tastes and are equally delicious.

Wang Bo was busy fighting the locust plague at first, but he didn't expect this. It was when he was at work that he saw Asulu take a box of fried locusts and eat them as snacks, and then he remembered that he could also get some locusts to eat.

After work, he took the little loli to the wild to catch locusts. There was no need to think about the pastures and farms. The locusts there were all eaten up by the flock of chickens, ducks and geese, so he had to go to the wild to search.

After driving the car to find a grassland, Wang Bo gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be polite later, don't care about the size, and tear off his wings and stuff them into the box when he catches a locust. Do you know?"

The little loli said worriedly: "Will it be too cruel?"

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

“How big is it?”

Lao Wang began to count in grief and anger: "Not to say how many vegetables they destroyed or how many grass they destroyed, just say 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 sand katy, chickens, ducks, geese and purple chickens launched an indiscriminate attack. The giant sand katy in the pasture did not escape into the ground in time were almost eaten. Made, that's a protective insect!"

The little loli blinked: "What is the loss?"

Wang Bo said: "Let me tell you this. If it is converted into a starry sky stick, it will cost at least one or two million starry sky sticks!"

"How many?" the little loli's eyes widened.

"One or two million! If you convert it into Barbie dolls, there must be hundreds of thousands!"

The little loli said angrily: "Why are they so bad? You must let them in the oil pan!"

There are many locusts in the wild, and it is very easy to catch them. Wang Bo prepared some butterfly nets, which were to put a small grid pocket on the end of a stick, and a grid cover would be buckled, and there would be several locusts inside.

The commander and the political commissar quickly understood what he was going to do, so they flapped their wings to help. They looked for large locusts, and then learned to attack Xiao Meng with a dive. Two or three times can always succeed.

The commander flew over with a locust in his arms and said proudly: "Ah, the commander is capable, ah, the bugs are running away!"

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

But it was not that simple. There was a small man hovering above Wang Bo's head. Seeing the locust trying to fly away, it suddenly flew down, and then the locust turned into two pieces...

Xiao Meng was very melancholy. It couldn't help in this regard. Every time he cut his mouth, the locusts were broken into two pieces, and the smaller ones would be sparse and not catch the alive.

The commander was too much. After catching the locust, he couldn't help but open his mouth and mutter, so that the locusts could always run away. Wang Bo was so angry that he refused to change his mind. After a while, the commander didn't catch a few locusts.

However, the political commissar did a great job. He was a practical worker, diligent and honestly caught locusts. Every time he flew back, he gained something. The little loli's net bag and it helped him quickly packed up a box.

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

Neither the Zhuang Gun nor Xiao Wang could do this job. The claws were too big. If you pat them with one claw, the locusts would be spoiled. The princess was flexible, but it did not give them to Lao Wang if it caught the locusts, but instead ate them by itself.

The fat cat brothers can also catch locusts. After they catch them, they don’t give them to Lao Wang or eat them. Instead, they play with them by themselves. They are exhausted from playing with the locusts, and they will change to the next one, and they will never get tired of it.

In less than half an hour, a large box in the carriage was filled with locusts. Wang Bo whistled, and the strong man Xiao Wang and a group of hairy children immediately threw down their game and got into the car and waited to go back.

Fried locusts is the simplest, but he marinated them first, put them in a jar with salt water, marinated them all night, then hung them for a whole morning to dry them, and fry them in a pan at noon.

Wang Bo searched carefully for relevant information online and confirmed that the locusts did not contain any parasites, and then started to put them in the oil pan.

The dried locusts are easy to fry. They have to be fished out after a few seconds. At this time, the locusts have turned golden, sprinkled with cumin and fine salt, and they are crispy in their mouths, which is even more fragrant than beef and mutton!

The little loli had a great time eating and said to Eva: "Sister, it's really delicious. The teacher said it's full of protein and fat."

Eva's pretty face was bleak, and she waved her hand and said, "Sister is pregnant, so you can't eat this."

She can't accept eating insects.

Wang Bo tear off his wings and legs and stuffed them into his mouth to crunch. He ate it with a bite of oil and aroma, and it tasted better with cumin powder and chili powder.

And because he marinated it in salt water all night, the saltiness of the grasshopper is more thorough.

Qingyang followed and Wang Bo asked, "Don't you feel disgusting when eating insects?"

After hearing this, Qingyang said contemptuously: "I have eaten bamboo stick insects and fried centipedes, let alone this grasshopper? I have liked eating this since I was a child. Now it costs 30 or 40 yuan per pound in China. I haven't eaten it after graduation."
