How to make grass and insects more delicious?

This question is not a problem for Mr. Bai from the foodie empire, is it?

In the city he lived in in his previous life, many people liked to eat insects, such as bamboo insects, grasshoppers, scorpions, silkworm chrysalis, and bee chrysalis. Although he didn't like it very much, he still knew how to eat it. Whether you eat it by frying, roasting, or stir-frying, the taste is very fragrant, especially the kind of bamboo insects that look like bee pupae. After frying in the oil pan until golden brown, take them out and sprinkle with a little pepper And chili powder, the taste is so fragrant, and it is also very expensive to sell. A plate of fried bamboo worms that weighs a few taels can be sold for more than 80 yuan a plate in the night market.

After thinking about it, Teacher Bai decided to use the simplest method first, roasting some grass insects for the patriarch to try.

I didn’t use frying because he didn’t have that much oil, and didn’t use dry frying because he didn’t have various seasonings such as chili, garlic, and ginger... As a citizen of a foodie empire, he sincerely supports this world that has no seasoning feel sad!

First I went to pick some leaves of Huihui vegetables, crushed them, washed the grass insects caught by the patriarch, dried them, added them to marinate for a while, and then picked up a thinner stone slab that he washed clean Standing on the fire, I took out the animal fat I had boiled before, scooped out a little with a wooden spoon, and spread it evenly on the stone board.

"What is this?" Looking at the pale yellow half-solidified fat in the stone pot, the patriarch asked curiously.

"Oh, this is the fat from the belly of sambar. Before... I didn't know how to hunt, and I would become very weak if I couldn't eat meat. So, I picked up the internal organs of sambar that everyone didn't want, and scraped some fat from it. Come down." Bai Xiong faltered and explained, he was thin-skinned, and this kind of behavior like picking up vegetable leaves that others didn't want in the vegetable market really made people blush.

Bai Ying was silent for a long time. It stands to reason that those who have not made any contribution to the tribe, but still occupy the precious food of the tribe to raise the cubs of other tribes, are not qualified to continue to receive food and other supplies from the tribe. However, thinking of Bai Xiong She herself is just a young rooster who has just grown up, so Bai Ying can't say anything about accusing and teaching him a lesson.

After a long while, Baiying sighed, and looked at Baixiong with a complicated expression: "Baixiong, you, you, take them back to the settlement, you are very good at weaving and cooking now, even if you don't go hunting, you can I have supported myself and my children with these crafts."

"It's true that the older the chicken, the softer the heart!" Baiying sighed in her heart, but he believed that other pheasant spirits in the tribe would agree to let Baixiong go back. After all, the straw basket he wove is now in the tribe. A rare item that everyone wants.I am ashamed to say that the female pheasants in the tribe are better at hunting and fighting than each other. They are more handicapped than the other when doing these delicate tasks that require brains. Rain's lair (coffin room), the patriarch said that she is very upset now.

"Thank you, Lord Patriarch. I live here very well. It's spacious. You see, I've even mowed all the weeds on the ground. Besides, if I live in a tribe, it won't be as convenient as it is now to mow grass to make a basket." Ah." Bai Xiong also wants to live with other pheasants, at least it is safe and secure, but firstly, there is not so much weeds in the tribe that can be cut for him to make straw weaving, and secondly, it is not easy for him to tell the patriarch What's more, he was very worried that if the other pheasants got too emotional, they would hurt the three eggs he had picked up.

He has watched a lot of documentaries about animals before, because he wants to tell children this knowledge, so he knows that in the wild, some birds will make sure their cubs get more food and a better life. Deliberately drive away other birds that nest and lay eggs near their own territory, and even peck to death the single chicks while other birds are out hunting. It would be okay if these three eggs were laid by a female pheasant of the Baishang tribe , but the problem is that they are not.

In the eyes of those pheasants, the existence of these three eggs means that they might compete with their chicks for food in the future. How could he safely leave these three eggs alone in the tribe, and go out to cut firewood, mow grass, Gather food?

Therefore, although he was a little moved, Bai Xiong politely rejected the patriarch's proposal for the safety of the eggs.

Bai Ying didn't expect him to refuse, and just as she was about to continue persuading her, Bai Xiong had already started roasting grass insects.

The marinated grass worms were poured on the heated stone slab covered with a layer of meat oil, and there was only a stinging sound, and a strange smell similar to barbecue came to the face.

Bai Ying was stunned for a moment.

She has lived for more than 100 years, and this is the first time she smells such a good fragrance, and she always feels that her saliva will flow out in the next second.

Grass and insects are cooked very quickly. After pouring them down, turn them over with a pair of long chopsticks and they will be cooked. Because of the layer of meat oil on the slate, the marinated grass and insects exude a strong aroma of barbecue. He even attracted the wild mice hiding in the weeds, but because of the powerful pheasant spirit of Bai Ying, these wild mice dared not come here at all, for fear that they would become roasted rats on stone slabs.

"Okay, this is crispy when you eat it while it's hot. Master Patriarch, you can take it back first. If you want to eat it next time, you can come to me at any time. It's just that I don't have much oil here. If you hunt next time in the tribe, you can eat it." Give me all the entrails, bones, and oil you don't want?"

"Okay!" Baiying couldn't care less about what to say anymore, the grass worm smelled so good after it was roasted, her partner would definitely like to eat it.Baiying was not willing to eat any of them, so she took the leaves as a cushion and went back holding them directly.

Baicao really likes to eat roasted worms, especially the roasted worms are added with meat oil, which adds a strange fragrance. Baicao ate more than half of it in one go, and then raised her head to look at Baiying: "Have you eaten?"

"Eat, eat! I ate a lot at Baixiong just now." Baiying pretended to be full, and kept urging him to eat while it was hot. Ever since Baicao started hatching, it was rare for her to have such an appetite. She began to regret that she caught too few grass insects today, how could she compete with the white grass to eat?

After sending the patriarch away, Bai Xiong made something for himself.Today a hen pheasant brought a large stone pot, which he exchanged with two bamboo baskets for making soup.

Now that he has decided to reserve most of the grass seeds for the chicks who are about to hatch, his diet needs to be adjusted.

Fortunately, there are a lot of things to eat near the tribe this season. The place where he lives now happens to be close to the place where the tribe throws garbage. When he has nothing to do these two days, Baixiong will go to the "garbage dump" to hunt for treasure. Sometimes he can find Some fresh prey bones, sometimes a few discarded wild rat tails, although they are all leftovers that no one eats, but they can fill the stomach after processing.

Bai Xiong is not a picky person, he also likes to live a good life, but when he has no money, he also eats boiled noodles in white water for a month in a row, smelling the smell of fried buns from the roadside shop, he can't wait to smell enough go again.In the current situation, it is obvious that he has no way to abandon the three eggs at home and go out hunting and foraging alone. All he can do is to search for some edible things nearby as much as possible, and wait for the chicks to hatch. After that, he can use stronger vines to weave a container similar to a bamboo basket with soft hay inside, so that he can take the cubs a little further away to find food.

As night fell, Baixiong skillfully moved the fire to a different location, spread the prepared dry grass on the somewhat hot ground, let the residual heat of the ground slowly dry the remaining moisture in the dry grass, and then put the coffin room Take out the damp hay that was already in the ground, and replace it with dry and warm hay. Finally, I became a prototype, got in, and carefully protected the three warm eggs under my wing roots. The temperature there is It's very tall, and it's best to keep the three eggs warm.

He wasn't a real pheasant, and he didn't dare to sit with those three eggs under his buttocks. To put it bluntly, what if he fell asleep in a daze at night and accidentally broke the eggs?

Outside, there was the crackling sound of firewood burning in the fire, listening to the strange rustling sound from the grass, Bai Xiong closed his eyes, and fell into a sweet dream wearily.

Yun Xiao, who was firmly protected by his elder brother under his wings, wanted to cry. When he was young in his previous life, he liked to hide and sleep under his elder brother's wings the most. But now he knew that when he was an egg, his elder brother had already Get used to protecting him under your own wings!

The warmth under the elder brother's wings is the familiar taste that he can't bear to forget in his two lifetimes. After being reborn, Yun Xiao is like a chick for the first time, capriciously enjoying the warmth and protection brought by the elder brother's wings. I slept like an idiot.

Even in the dream, I still really want to kick those two dead eggs out.

The next day, the patriarch sent him a lot of bones and internal organs of prey that the tribe did not want, and even a fresh sambar head.

Bai Xiong was overjoyed. The sambar head looked bigger than a sheep's head. If it was cleaned up properly, the meat would be enough for him to eat for two days.

Bai Xiong first went to the nearby small river to fetch water to wash, and tied his half-length hair into a ball on the top of his head. Xiao Zhuang's skill, when the chicks hatch in the future, if he has a daughter, then he will be able to use this skill right away.

Excitedly imagining that he was about to have a beautiful daughter, Bai Xiong filled a half pot of water and went back, ready to boil water to treat the sambar head.
