Chapter 340 You Have to Teach Me!
This weevil is actually the fat, white bamboo worm that has grown up.
Although it looks like a beetle, it is still edible and becomes crispy and fragrant when fried.
Not only is it edible, it was also Zhou Yue’s toy when she was a child. She would tie the weevil up with a string and throw it into the sky, and it would fly up like a kite.
Zhou Yue took out a thin thread from his trouser pocket, tied up the weevil, showed it to Sister Chunyan and the others, and told them that this was also today's lunch.
The two girls from the seaside were shocked when they knew they were going to eat this insect.
Today's territory is in the north, where people have relatively few habits of eating insects.
In the south, people have the habit of eating insects, especially in Yunnan, where there are special insect banquets.
Zhou Yue has been to Yunnan and was truly amazed by the experience.
The most basic ones are grasshoppers, bamboo worms, centipedes and scorpions, which Zhou Yue believes are also edible.
In Yunnan, even dragonflies, dragonfly larvae, bombardier beetles, crickets and flower spiders are edible.
I came back with a lot of stuff today. Not only did I get several large bundles of bamboo, but I also got a lot of bamboo worms and weevils.
I spent a lot of time cutting bamboo today, and I started preparing lunch after I got back.
Today's lunch was quite novel. The rice was not steamed in a pot, but steamed in a bamboo tube made by Zhou Yue.
The bamboo tube steaming plate was made by Zhou Yue’s grandmother when she was a child. Although it looks similar to the rice steamed in a rice cooker, the taste is very different.
When steaming rice in a bamboo tube, the juice in the bamboo will seep into the rice.
Therefore, rice steamed in bamboo tubes will have the fragrance of bamboo when eaten, and each grain of rice has that fresh bamboo flavor.
The caught bamboo worms and weevils are directly put into the pan and fried. After frying, take them out and sprinkle them with the soul seasoning prepared by Zhou Yue.
Although we caught quite a lot of bamboo worms today, there were too many people in the base and each person could only taste a little.
After eating these delicious insects, the comrades praised them repeatedly.
The comrades in the Jinxi base area, in particular, regretted not going up the mountain to catch them before. It was such a waste.
In fact, people of this age should eat more high-protein foods like this.
Although this insect looks small, it contains much more protein than meat, so it can be said to be a great tonic.
After lunch, everyone started to get busy again. Sister Chunyan and Sister Chunxia took bamboo in their hands and started to prepare to weave things.
Zhou Yue was very interested in this kind of handicraft, so she naturally joined in.
Before weaving, there is still a lot of work to be done. First of all, the bamboos need to be broken open.
After breaking it open, use a knife to divide it into many small strips, and try to keep the thickness of these strips uniform.
These thin bamboo strips cannot be used for weaving directly. The green layer on the surface of the bamboo is used for weaving.
Therefore, you have to remove the layer on the surface of the bamboo. This step is really laborious and you have to use a bamboo knife to remove it one by one.
I spent the whole afternoon doing these tasks and haven't started the formal weaving yet.
The next morning, the editing could finally begin, and Zhou Yue hurried over.
"Sister Chunyan, you have to teach me!"
Zhou Yue had learned a little bit about weaving things out of bamboo from her grandmother in her previous life, but she only made katydid cages.
It is very simple to weave a katydid cage. Zhou Yue can learn it after watching it a few times. However, weaving baskets and backpacks is different. The difficulty level rises sharply!
