My 1995 Small Farm Chapter 454

  Chapter 454 New gameplay

   "Ah, that's right, the first time I ate a cicada monkey, I ate it on fire..."

  Baby Pig's eyes were blank, as if recalling the smell, "My grandma seldom fried it for us."

  That's not true, frying a cicada monkey consumes too much oil.

  No one in the village is willing.

   Moreover, no matter if it is a cicada or a cicada, if it is eaten with fire or grilled, the taste is not bad.

   "My family is the same, but I have made money, and I will blow it up when I am happy."

   Komori raised his hand and said, "The fried cicada monkey is delicious, fragrant and crispy, and I Da likes to serve it with wine."

   "Nonsense, the fried one is not tasty, it has a strange smell, it is not as good as the scorpion, and the fried one is the best."

   "Delicious fried!"

   "It's delicious!"

   "Uncle Fugui, tell me, is the fried cicada monkey delicious, or the roasted one?"

   "Haha, you guys, what's so noisy about this, let me see, it's fried, it's fried and delicious.

  Whether it is a young cicada that has just shed its shell, or an old cicada that has turned black, it tastes better when it is burned.

  The fried cicadas are delicious.

  After soaking in salt water, wash the soil, and then soak in pepper aniseed water, soak for one night, completely infused with flavor.

  Fried again the next day, it was delicious. "

  Hearing their chirping, Chen Ling laughed: "Hey, speaking of which, I'll take you to a good place later, and I'll teach you a trick for fun..."

  The kids were drooling and just wanted to ask.

  Ruirui and Liu Nier took two big dogs and dug out several cicada monkeys at once, screaming in surprise, lying on the ground to pick them up.

   Can't pick it up at all.

   "Good guy, this is a hole dug where several cicada monkeys are connected."

   Chen Ling took a look and saw that there were several cicada monkey caves that were connected closely together under the tree roots.

  This situation is still a bit rare.

  Don't look at the densely packed briquettes under the old willow tree just now, they are all small holes left by cicada monkeys.

   But in fact, the cicadas will not climb out together.

  They come out one after another.

   It will take several days, or even half a month to cause this situation.

   "You brat is lucky, it's brother Liu Nier who taught you in vain, you are so impatient."

  Ruirui is still young after all. Although she is much smarter than most one-year-old babies, it is impossible to be as sensible as three or four-year-olds.

   When encountering things to play, I am also impatient.

   Knowing about the monkey hole, he was quite interested in it when Liu Nier taught him at first, but he didn't play it very well, because his fingers are too small and he can't use dexterity.

  Even if the hole of the cicada monkey is opened, the cicada monkey in the hole cannot be caught.

  He quickly lost patience.

  He took the two big dogs to the small hole under the tree and said "hey hey hey" for a while.

   Unexpectedly, seven or eight of them were dug up by random digging.

  Chen Ling threw them all into the bucket and soaked them in water.

   It was getting dark.

  The underground cicada monkeys climbed out of the ground one after another, and climbed to the nearest tree.

  There are many trees and dense grass on the side of the Earth Temple, and no one comes.

   Provide a good living environment for the cicada monkey.

   Every summer, the number is extremely large.

  How can it be possible to catch all these little dolls every year?

   Now it's dark, and there are dense numbers of cicada monkeys crawling out everywhere.

  Some climbed on tree trunks, some climbed on weeds, and some even climbed on the leaves of young trees that have grown up in the past two years.

  Some climbed very low, and began to freeze and prepare to transform.

  Some climbed fast, and had already climbed to a high distance on the tree, but were still not satisfied, and still wanted to climb up.

   Cicada monkeys climbed up and down on each tree.

   I have already finished catching it.

  As a result, when we came back, a new cicada monkey climbed up the tree.

  Chen Ling led a group of children with flashlights and torches, and they couldn't catch them.

  The ones that are too high are discarded, leave them alone.

  Wang Zhenzhen led Ruirui, and Ruirui rode Heiwa. The two of them were sweating with their hair on their heads. They groped around the big tree for a while, and then went to the grass for a while.

   "Uncle Fugui, we can't take it anymore, let's put it in your keg."

   "Come on, put it in, my place is almost full."

   "Huh? Uncle, is your bucket full too? How many do you have to catch..."

   "There must be hundreds of them. There are people coming over there. We have caught enough. Let them catch it."

   "Hey, wait a minute, Uncle Fugui, don't leave. There is also a little Cicada Monkey, who has climbed so high that I can't reach it."

   Chen Ling took a look, and it was really a very small cicada monkey.

  This kind of little cicada monkey conjures up a very small cicada.

  There are many patterns on the body and wings, very beautiful.

  Compared to ordinary Dazhi, it is much more beautiful, and its voice is clearer and louder.

  Every summer, they will drill out of the ground earlier than the cicada monkey.

  Before shedding its shell, this little cicada monkey is not much different in appearance from ordinary cicada monkeys except that it is much smaller.

  But after catching it, Ruirui fell in love with this little one immediately, holding it in his hand and refused to put it down.

  Of course, Liu Nier and the others would not rob him, and they also told him not to keep playing around.

  They don't eat this kind of cicadas. They like to catch them and put them on the window, so that they can molt themselves into cicadas, and then keep them for fun.

   It's okay to die after playing, and it's no waste to feed chickens and ducks.

   "Hey, touch a cicada monkey, Fugui came out so early, how many have you caught?"

   Several young people in the village turned around with torches and various bottles.

   "I didn't count them. There are hundreds of them. My small bucket is full."

  Chen Ling took the flashlight and shone it into the keg for them to see.

   "Good guy, this is enough for you to eat a few meals."

   "After all, there are not as many people in the village as outside the village. Each of us made a big circle and only caught a dozen or twenty."

  When we were young, everyone would like to ask each other how many monkeys they caught after they came out and found out.

   Then take it out for comparison.

  Chen Ling didn't have a mother with him at that time, so he had a strange temper and was not very considerate.

  When I meet a lot more cicadas than myself, I will be so envious and jealous that I can't sleep at night.

  Once Wang Xuecheng of Wang Jukun's family arrested more than 200 people. Chen Ling's father didn't let him go out to play in the village at night. He searched the village and only caught about 30 people.

   Knowing that Wang Xuecheng had arrested so many, he cried and made noise after returning home.

  Chen Juncai had no choice but to take him out of the village to find him by the river and on the embankment. He insisted on catching him until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and finally caught enough.

  Didn't get enough sleep the next day, so Chen Ling got up early in the morning, took his booty and opened the door of Wang Xuecheng's house to show off to him, saying that he caught more than 300 last night, 100 more than him.

Thinking about how proud he was with his little head up at that time, Chen Ling couldn't help laughing, and turned to look at his son who was riding a dog back and forth across the fields full of stubble: "Come out, don't make trouble inside, I Take you to the river to play."

  In addition to playing by the river, we also need to fill the bucket with some water. Knowing that the cicada monkey has caught too much and cannot be submerged in water, it will molt by itself.

  Put more water, drown them, and they won't molt anymore.

   "Little uncle, shall we go to Laohewan, or to the reservoir?"

   "I won't go that far. Now there is a small river in our village, and there are so many trees outside the elementary school. I'll take you to have fun, and you can also taste the new way of eating along the way."

  As soon as they heard this, the little dolls were full of anticipation, and they jumped and jumped along the field path and went straight to the village.

   Walking through the threshing field and entering the village, many people gathered outside the door to enjoy the cool, talking, laughing and chatting.

  Hearing the yelling and yelling of the little dolls, followed by Chen Ling, they all asked him what he was going to do.

  Chen Ling stopped and smiled and said, "Brother Dazhi, Brother Lishan, do you want to go if you have a fever?"

   "How old is your baby, you have all the babies, and if you burn the cicadas, you will know how to make trouble."

  Chen Dazhi was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then he laughed.

  Wang Lishan put away the cattail fan in his hand: "Come on, I'll go with you. I'm idle anyway. It's better to make trouble with a doll than to sit here."

  Chen Dazhi thought about it too: "Just go, I'll grab some straw."

  This guy, as soon as the two of them moved, Chen Baoshuan and Chen Yuqiang followed.

  There are quite a lot of trees here in Dayantang. For schools, there are many trees in and out of school.

  There are pines and 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 small river and Dayantang, the nearby slopes are full of thick willow trees.

  When a group of adults make trouble, it is much more powerful than the little dolls.

  Each person carried a pile of firewood and put it under the willow trees, of course, away from the roots of the trees to avoid burning the trees to death.

   Then light a fire.

   Waiting for the flames to rise up, the flames gradually became brighter and brighter.

  Chen Ling and the other adults stood under a willow tree respectively, and told the dolls, "Stay away from the dolls, take care."

  The dolls responded one after another, and trotted back to the side, bouncing and letting them start to burn the cicadas quickly.

   "Here we come."

   "One, two, three, kick..."

   After Chen Ling shouted the slogan, several adults giggled and kicked loudly at the trunk of the big willow tree.

  While several large willow trees were shaking violently, there was only a continuous sound of 'squeaking', and countless cicadas screamed in panic, and fell into the fire like dumplings.

  The scene is very spectacular.

   "Wow, I know a lot."

  The little dolls were shocked by the adults' hand, and started jumping, clapping and cheering.

   Quickly attracted Zhao Yubao's two families, and after knowing what they were doing, they stared and opened their mouths in novelty to look around for a while.

   "Why are these cicadas so stupid? What do you eat with wings, don't you know how to fly farther? Why do you foolishly fly into the fire as soon as you kick a tree?"

   "Yes, yes, like moths to a flame."

   "Haha, Uncle Zhao, Uncle Zhong, you all said that moths are flying into the flame, isn't that clear?

   Knowing that it is similar to moths, it also has phototropism.

   If you kick the tree during the day, they must fly far away, but it's different at night. I lit a fire under the tree, it smoked and burned, and it still glowed...

   Let's kick the tree violently again. In a panic, where else can they rush if they don'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 and burn cicadas."

   The little devils immediately cheered, gathered around, and helped the adults put out the fire by the way.

  Wang Lishan nodded approvingly when he saw this: "That's right, that's what we have to do. There will be no adults around in the future, so don't play with fire."

Chen Yuqiang smiled and said, "Uncle Lishan, have you forgotten what Uncle Fugui said just now? No adults, they want to burn cicadas, but they can't play. We were watering the fields at night, and we had to have adults to help us." , otherwise, with their little strength, they wouldn't be able to kick the tree even if it was set on fire."

   "Haha, that's right.

  At that time, I ate a hot cicada, which was enough to satisfy my hunger. Even if I had to water the ground at night, I didn't feel tired or sleepy, and I could be happy all night. "

  Wang Lishan's words received everyone's unanimous nod and agreement.

"Yeah yeah."

  Even if they are different in age, they all have a common memory of this "burning cicada".

  But at that time, I was basically not in the village, but outside the village, in the fields or on the river beach. I found a tree, lit it on fire, kicked it hard, and watched it fall into the fire like rain.

   There will really be a kind of heartfelt joy.

   This is a rare summer night, and adults and children enjoy the fun together.

  The main thing is to be able to play and eat meat.

   As for playing with fire.

  Actually, adults often exhort, children all know.

   I don't know, I'll have a long memory after playing a few times.

   "Okay, okay, you can eat it, and it will be burned to ashes if you burn it again."

  Chen Ling hurriedly took a stick, and pulled them out of the fire one by one, burning them black.

  The little dolls also followed suit, and after a while, a lot of them were pulled out.

   "Can you eat burning cicadas? If you don't know how to eat, let your rich uncle teach you."

   "We will eat, eat the middle, there is meat in the middle."

   Burning Cicadas is quite different from frying Cicadas.

   Fried cicadas are tender cicadas that have just transformed from fried cicadas. When they are fried, they are whole and will not destroy the cicadas.

   Burning cicadas, old cicadas that can fly on trees.

  After falling into the fire, his body was burned.

   Only the middle part after removing the head and buttocks can be eaten. The shell like a "saddle" is the back of Cicada.

  It's full of meat.

  Chen Ling taught his son to break off the charred buttocks and head, leaving the short section in the middle to blow off the black ash, revealing the tender red flesh.

  It is already ripe.

  Chen Ling threw a piece into his mouth, chewed it carefully, a feeling buried deep in his memory came to his heart along with the familiar yet unfamiliar taste in his mouth.

   "Delicious, this food is really delicious." The two old men Zhao Yubao followed Chen Ling's example and ate a piece, and their eyes lit up immediately.

   "It's a bit like chicken, and there's no salt or seasoning. How can it be so delicious just by cooking it?"

  Chen Dazhi and the others laughed when they heard this, and while they were picking and eating on the ground, they told them that the taste of this roasted cicada was actually not too different from that of roasted sparrows.

  Baked bird eggs are delicious.
