EBE Chapter 428 Roasted Grasshoppers
Chapter 428 Roasted Grasshoppers
She had no choice but to change with Zhou Gu, "Brother, why don't you go and harvest the wheat? Even my aunt can't stand watching me harvesting wheat. Look..."
Pointed in the direction of Xu.
Zhou Gu looked over there and was startled. "Yeah, wasn't my mother just over there?"
Zhou Guo blinked and looked at him innocently.
Zhou Gu looked at Xu's back, then looked at Zhou Guo who was looking at him eagerly, and grinned, "Okay, come on, I'll leave this job to you, I'll go harvest the wheat."
The old man closed his eyes and rested for half an hour, then got up. Speaking of which, he still had two pieces of land here!
The whole family, young and old, works in the fields.
After working for more than half an hour, Zhou Mai suddenly handed two large bunches of grasshoppers to Zhou Guo, "Here, Guoguo, this is for you."
I also had a good harvest from Zhou Mi. I found two bunches in the morning and afternoon.
Zhou Guo held four bunches of grasshoppers in his hand and smiled. "Just wait, I'll find more in a few more fields. We'll roast them and eat them."
She hadn't eaten roasted grasshoppers for many years. In her memory, it was one of the few delicious snacks in the countryside.
An hour later, she already had eight bunches full of grasshoppers in her hands. There were so many grasshoppers in the land that had not been sprayed with pesticides!
If this was in my previous life, it would be hard to find even one string, let alone eight!
She took a few bunches of grasshoppers to the roadside and made a fire. It was already a very hot day and making a fire at this time was really hard on herself. The flames hit her face and the sweat poured down her face. Some of the sweat got into her eyes, causing severe pain.
Fortunately, her sweat was not in vain. After it was baked, she tried one. It was crispy and crunchy, with a unique taste, and it tasted just like she remembered!
He waved and called out, "Mom, Master, Big Sister, Brothers, come and take a break, drink some water, and eat some roasted grasshoppers!"
When they heard about roasted grasshoppers, the people in other fields laughed, "Your mother also wants to eat roasted grasshoppers?"
Zhou Guo said: "Why can't my mother eat roasted grasshoppers? Roasted grasshoppers are so delicious, anyone can eat them."
After saying this, she saw that she was the only one who hadn't stood up, so she waved and called out, "Mom, come quickly, I tasted one of these grasshoppers, it was so delicious, hey, come quickly!"
Li stood up helplessly, raised her sleeve to wipe the sweat off her face and neck, and walked closer and said, "You guys can eat it, this thing is for you kids to eat, why are you asking me to do anything? Don't let people laugh at you."
The old man was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with the grasshopper leg in his mouth yet to be eaten. Hearing this, he raised his head and looked at her in silence.
Li was embarrassed for a moment, and quickly said, "Sir, you can eat it. This grasshopper is actually very fragrant. I just said that. I actually want to eat it."
As she spoke, she sat down next to Zhou Guo, plucked one of the grasshoppers she handed over, pulled off a leg and ate it savory. It was really delicious, and tasted no worse than meat. She had only eaten this when she was a child, and then when she grew up and had children, she naturally gave this rare delicacy to the children. How could the adults like them snatch it from the children? There were not many to begin with, and now she could eat it all at once, it felt like she was in a dream!
The old man nodded and continued to eat grasshoppers. He ate a leg and took a sip of wine. Most of his fatigue from harvesting wheat was gone.
Zhou Guo picked up a female grasshopper with a big belly. The belly must have seeds inside. After being roasted, the belly turned golden and shiny. It tasted mellow and soft, not much worse than barbecue. Zhou Guo even ate a lot of barbecue, so after taking a bite, he thought this one tasted better.
There are also a lot of female grasshoppers, and each person can get at least one.
Zhou Guo placed the other two skewers of roasted grasshoppers on clean leaves, intending to give them to Zhou Su and the others to take back. How could they be left out of such delicious food?
There are six strings of grasshoppers for eight people, and each person gets five or six, which is just enough to fill their stomachs.
But everyone in the family was satisfied with the meal. After drinking a few sips of water and eating two pieces of rice cakes, they rested for a while, picked up their sickles and became energetic again.
When the sun gradually sets, Zhou Xing will go back to cook. Dinner is also very simple. The meat is the braised pork prepared at noon. It can be eaten after just heating it up. Add the cold cucumber hanging in the well and stir-fry some Yongcai to make a soup.
In order to speed up the process, we should try our best to save extra time from everywhere. If we can cook two meals at a time, we will never cook just one. As long as we don’t die from eating too much, we will cook more.
If Zhou Guo hadn't stopped her, Zhou Xing would have wanted to cook tomorrow's portion at once. After much persuasion, she agreed to cook for two meals, and she didn't know if it would go bad.
She helped to carry back the harvested wheat, but one trip was not enough, so she had to come again.
He returned home with two full carts of wheat.
There were three people and a dog guarding the four directions of the yard. Each person was holding a long pole, and even Heidadan was held in front of one. Zhou Guo noticed with his sharp eyes that its right front paw was pressing on the stick, and it was holding its head up, looking very arrogant.
Zhou Xing laughed and said, "You guys are so stupid. Why did you give Heidadan one too? How can it be used?"
As he said this, he was about to step forward and take the stick away.
Heidao became anxious and started wagging his tail and barking at her, then clinging to her with his whole body.
Zhou Su said seriously: "Big sister, don't take away its weapon. Hei Dadan is very good at using it. If you don't believe me, you can watch later."
Zhou Xing was skeptical. "Really? How come I didn't know dogs could use this?"
Zhou Guo believed it. In her two lifetimes as a human, she had seen all kinds of dogs, some of which were smarter than Hei Dadan.
She took out two skewers of roasted grasshoppers that she had reserved for them and said, "Here, these are for you."
When Zhou Su saw it, his eyes lit up and he looked at her and asked, "Have you sisters eaten yet?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "We have all eaten, even mother has eaten, this is left for you."
Zhou Su took the grasshopper skewer and walked towards Li Lai and the other two.
Zhou Guo turned back to unload the wheat, and suddenly remembered something, and said, "Oh, by the way, don't forget Hei Dadan's share."
Zhou Su was already waving at Zhou Dadan. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister. It won't happen. Hei Dadan is a great hero today. He helped drive away a lot of birds."
Three people and a dog gathered together to eat happily, and the meal was very delicious.
After unloading the two cars, she pulled the two cars back and made another trip.
Li said, "After this trip, hurry to your Aunt Chen's land. She hasn't used it yet and is waiting for it."
Zhou Guo nodded. The ox and the horse had worked very hard that day. Many families in the village who didn't have livestock came to borrow them. After all, only a few families from outside had livestock and ox carts. Today, the livestock of each family had worked very hard.
It can be imagined that these animals will have to exert great effort in the next few days.
Zhou Guo decided to reward them well tonight so he prepared some beans and wheat bran and gave them a good meal.
