Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

afternoon.

There is a table in the courtyard of Deng Shirong's house. On the table is a woven bamboo cover. The cover is covered with dense insects, which are the wasp pupae that Deng Yuntai and his childhood friend Deng Changyuan burned back.

At this time, Deng Shirong was taking several of his children and Deng Changyuan to clean out the internal organs and feces from the bee pupae. This was an extremely tedious task.

Although many people find it troublesome and just fry bee pupae directly in the pot, but if you want to eat fried bee pupae with perfect taste, the step of cleaning the internal organs and feces is indispensable.

Although there were a lot of bee pupae, there were also many people working on it. It took about forty minutes to finally clean up all the bee pupae.

Deng Yunsong and three others who came back from school also peeled a large bowl full of peanuts.

Deng Shirong picked up the lid containing the bee pupae and said to his eldest daughter: "Azhen, you can light the fire!"

Deng Yunzhen responded and went back to the kitchen to start lighting the fire.

Seeing this, Deng Changyuan and Deng Yuntai's brothers and sisters also followed into the kitchen. They had never seen how the bee pupae exploded, so naturally they wanted to know more about it.

Soon, Deng Yunzhen lit the fire. The pot had been cleaned before. Deng Shirong used a spatula to shovel directly into the oil tank, and even shoveled several spatulas of oil out. His handiwork was obvious to the juniors present. Amazed.

Under the action of high temperature, the solidified lard melted quickly. Deng Shirong did not rush to fry the bee pupae, but poured the peanuts in first and fried them.

Fried peanuts are a dish that pays great attention to the heat. If the heat is not enough, it will not be crispy enough. If the heat is too high, it will burn easily. You must be an experienced person to fry it just right.

As someone who likes to drink two cups of fried peanuts, fried peanuts are a dish that Deng Shirong often cooked in his previous life. It goes without saying how to adjust the heat. Basically, just by looking at the color of the peanuts, you can accurately judge whether the heat is appropriate.

Soon, the peanuts in the oil pan turned slightly yellow. Since there was no suitable colander, Deng Shirong did not dare to wait any longer. After telling his eldest daughter to stop the fire, he quickly fished out the peanuts with a spatula.

Because the speed was fast enough, there was no way to drain the oil. After scooping up all the peanuts, Deng Shirong slowly drained the peanuts and put them into another bowl.

After finishing the peanuts, Deng Shirong saw that there was not enough oil in the pot, so he simply shoveled all the oil in the oil can into the pot. At the same time, he asked his eldest daughter to increase the firepower. When the oil temperature rose, he poured several kilograms of peanuts into the pot. The bee pupae fell in.

Suddenly, there was a sizzling sound in the pot, and the aroma began to come out.

When frying bee pupae, the firepower should be higher at the beginning. When the bee pupae change color slightly, the firepower should be reduced and fried slowly. Deng Shirong waited until the bee pupae in the pot were fried to golden brown, then asked his eldest daughter to stop the fire, and then fried the bee pupae. Drain the oil and divide between several large bowls.

Finally, sprinkle the raw salt that has been pounded with tools in advance, scoop it out and mix it evenly, and a delicious fried bee pupa is completed.

Deng Shirong smelled the fragrant fried bee pupae and said with satisfaction: "Azhen, put the oil in the pot back into the oil tank and get ready to eat!"

"knew!"

Deng Changyuan said with praise: "This bee pupa smells so good, and the color makes it very appetizing. All the bee pupae we burned before were used to cook porridge. It's really a waste of natural resources. You are still Jiugong." I know how to eat!”

Deng Shirong said with a smile: "Fried bee pupae are delicious. I guess I'm not the only one in the village who knows that. It's just that not many people are willing to use oil like me, so no one eats them fried."

While they were talking, several people had already brought the fried bee pupae to the dinner table.

At this time, the food on the table was extremely rich. Three bowls of fried bee pupae, one bowl of fried peanuts, two bowls of cucumber salad, one bowl of sauerkraut, and three bowls of cold water spinach filled the table.

Next, the person who served the rice served the rice and the person who poured the wine poured the wine. Deng Changyuan was Deng Yuntai's childhood friend. The two of them had played together since childhood and often ate at Deng Shirong's house, so he didn't feel restrained at all.

"Let's eat!" Deng Shirong picked up two bee pupae and tasted them first. The taste was as fresh and crispy as he remembered, and the more he chewed, the more fragrant it became, making people unable to stop eating it.

After seeing Deng Shirong move his chopsticks, the other children and Deng Changyuan also couldn't wait to grab the bee pupae. When they tasted the taste of the bee pupae, they all showed expressions of disbelief.

Apparently the fried bee pupae tasted even better than they imagined.

In later generations, since everyone has no shortage of oil and water, chicken, duck, fish and meat can be eaten casually, but most people can afford to eat a meal every now and then.

As a result, I got used to a bad habit - picky eating.

But in this day and age, most people in Shuangwang Realm can barely fill their stomachs. They eat white porridge mixed with various grains to barely fill their stomachs. As for vegetables, they are some pickles, vegetables and eggs that are reluctant to be boiled in oil. As for meat, I don’t know how long it will take before I can eat it once in a while.

Moreover, even if eggs and meat are occasionally eaten, they are only tasted briefly. No one's eggs and meat can be eaten freely.

Therefore, people in this era are rarely picky eaters. Things like bee pupae that many people in later generations would not be able to eat after seeing them, but now rural people have no pressure to eat them raw, let alone fried ones.

"This fried bee pupa is so delicious. I will go up the mountain to look for a hornet's nest after the holiday in two days." Deng Yunsong said while eating.

Deng Yunhua answered: "Third brother, let's go together then."

The youngest Deng Yunheng also said positively: "There is also me, I will go too."

Nowadays, rural children are all thick-skinned, and it is normal for them to run all over the mountains. Deng Shirong has nothing to worry about. However, wasps are poisonous after all. He still warned: "It's okay for you three to go up the mountain to find a hornet's nest, but after you find it, you have to Come back and tell your eldest brother or second brother that you are not allowed to burn it, do you understand?"

Deng Yuntai also warned: "Hornets are venomous and may even be life-threatening if stung too many times. If you find them, don't burn them, or I will beat you up when I come back."

The three little ones looked at each other and replied feebly: "I know!"

Deng Shirong smiled upon seeing this, then looked at Deng Changyuan and said, "Ayuan, do you know that Yungui and I contracted the brigade's vat kiln?"

Deng Changyuan nodded and said, "I know, Artest told me."

Deng Shirong said: "If you don't mind the hard work, after the production team finishes cutting the crops, you can go to the cylinder tile factory to help trample the mud. If you are interested in learning how to make a large cylinder, you can also let Artai teach you during your break."

Deng Changyuan's eyes suddenly lit up and he said in surprise: "Jiu Gong, are you serious?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Of course it's true. Do you want to do it?"

Deng Changyuan said without hesitation: "Of course I do."

In the countryside of this era, there was no place to make money at all. Being able to work in a tile factory and earn a salary was a good thing that could not be found even with a lantern.

Deng Changyuan knew in his heart that if he hadn't had a good relationship with Deng Yuntai, this job might not have been his turn.

Deng Shirong touched the wine with him and said, "Then work hard. Then you will have a stable income and it will be much easier to marry a wife."

Deng Changyuan nodded heavily: "Thank you Jiu Gong, I will do a good job and won't embarrass you."
