The king of entertainment

"After this bamboo forest, we will reach the famous Insect Valley here."

The guide pointed to the bamboo forest in front and said, "There are edible bamboo maggots in this bamboo forest."

Although he said it was edible, everyone still thought it was shabby.

Think about those wriggling maggots in the toilet. Are they edible?

The maggots in these bamboos are probably similar to those, right?

Several people thought so in their hearts.

Xu Wenjun looked at Xiao Yang, "Boss, didn't you write about the Insect Valley of Yun Province in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"?"

Xiao Yang smiled and said, "It's not the same one. Don't worry, there is no king's tomb here."

Everyone laughed.

Xiao Yang continued: "The appearance of bamboo insects is very fat. Generally speaking, they are white and fat. They are about 3 centimeters long. Their bodies are spindle-shaped and round, with small eyes and small black mouths. Bamboo insects have a sweet fragrance, like butter.

taste."

Everyone: "..."

Please stop talking.

We really didn't expect the creamy flavor.

Xiao Yang said: "Bamboo worms are actually the larvae of bamboo weevils, which are pests that harm bamboo forests. They lay eggs and hatch in tender bamboos, and the larvae grow by sucking the meat and moisture from the inner wall of the bamboo. Once they are harmed by it, the tender bamboos will be destroyed.

That means it cannot grow into something useful."

The fellow next to him nodded frequently. He didn't expect Xiao Yang to know so much.

Xiao Yang said: "In some places, bamboo insects are also known as bamboo wasps, bamboo maggots, and some people call them bamboo shoot maggots. They eat young bamboo shoots to absorb nutrients and grow from the size of a rice grain to as thick as a finger in 20 days.

Parasitized in the bamboo tube, they eat from the top of the bamboo section by section, and finally hide in the roots. They stop eating and prepare to break out of the pupa. Bamboo insects are actually rich in high protein and amino acids."

Everyone: "..."

Here we go again, this time it’s amino acids.

"Some people even say that it resembles Cordyceps sinensis, because it feeds on sweet bamboo fiber, so it has the effect of nourishing the spleen and stomach, and is one of the ideal health foods. Because it grows in the heart of sweet bamboo, it is hard-won, Yun Province

The Hani, Zhuang, Buyi and other tribes all like to eat good food, which is very delicious and has high nutritional value." Xiao Yang continued to confuse everyone.

"Cordyceps sinensis?"

Everyone is dumbfounded, you are getting better and better with your bragging.

Xiao Yang looked at the fellow, "fellow, how many ways to eat here do you have?"

"Here we scald the bamboo worms with hot water, dry them, and then deep-fry them until they turn dark yellow and make a sound, then take them out and put them on a plate and sprinkle them with pepper and salt," said the fellow.

Everyone almost vomited.

Xiao Yang said: "I have heard of four ways to eat it. The first one is to eat it raw. It is said that farmers somewhere in the past hated bamboo insects that harmed the growth of bamboo, so they caught the insects from the parasitic young bamboo shoots and killed them directly.

They twisted off the insect heads and chewed the bamboo worms to relieve their hatred. However, they did not expect that the bamboo worms were sweet and tasted like butter. So they ate a few more bites, and unknowingly one or two kilograms of bamboo worms were wiped out in the bamboo farm.

between the lips and tongue.”

"Gradually, word spread. Today, those who are vying to taste bamboo insects are no longer bamboo farmers, but also many famous tourists from all over the world."

“The process of catching insects requires keen eyesight. Bamboo farmers look for the bamboo shoots that pop up in the flickering green bamboo forest to see if they are leaking black liquid. This is bamboo insect urine excreted by bamboo insects hiding in the bamboo shoots.

Bamboo farmers cut open these bamboo shoots and dig out the fat bamboo worms inside the shoots with their fingers. Generally speaking, there is one worm for one bamboo shoot, and occasionally there are two worms for one shoot."

When Xiao Yang said this, the fellow nodded and said: "Yes, yes, you are an old hunter."

Everyone was startled, they did not expect that Xiao Yang actually knew how to catch bamboo insects.

Xiao Yang smiled slightly and continued: "The second one is the original stir-fried bamboo worms. This is the most basic way to eat bamboo worms, especially suitable for diners who dare not eat raw worms but want to taste the original flavor.

"The stir-fried bamboo worms only have a little shredded green onion as seasoning. The originally plump bamboo worms still retain their original deliciousness after being stir-fried."

"The third type is braised bamboo worms. The seasoning and taste are richer. Of course, the method can be more varied, but the protagonist is always the bamboo worms, and no one can steal its limelight. Compared with stir-frying, this kind of

This method will cause the bamboo worm to shrink in size, because the water in the body is stewed out, so it looks shriveled in appearance, but it does not affect its flavor."

"The fourth type is the salt and pepper bamboo insect, which is what you mentioned just now, fellow."

Xiao Yang said and walked towards the bamboo not far away.

The fellow handed the machete to Xiao Yang.

After Xiao Yang cut open the bamboo, he found that the bamboo joints were densely packed with fat and white maggots.

The fragrance of bamboo overflows.

Everyone was startled, isn't it smelly?

Xiao Yang smiled and said: "My mission has been completed, but yours is not yet."

Meimei and Xu Wenjun: "..."

Sophia was already ready to make a move.

With the help of fellow villagers, Xu Wenjun, Meimei and Sophia all found the bamboo maggots.

Today's task is only bamboo maggots, and tomorrow's task will be other insects.

Back at the mushroom house, Xiao Yang cooked the food himself.

People gathered around to watch.

The photographer is in place.

Xiao Yang is going to start pretending...well, he's going to start cooking.

In front of the stove, Xiao Yang scalded the bamboo maggots with hot water and then began to dry them.

After a while, Xiao Yang poured oil into the country and started frying the bamboo maggots.

Soon the golden bamboo maggots came out of the oven.

Serve.

Everyone takes their place.

Except for Xiao Yang, no one dared to take action, and they all looked at the bamboo maggots on the table.

Sophia smiled and said: "I'll do it first."

She tried to eat one, and her eyes lit up: "It's really delicious!"

Others are skeptical.

Meimei and Xu Wenjun finally took action.

The law of true fragrance!

Soon the bamboo maggots were wiped out by everyone.

Meimei exclaimed, "Xiao, I never thought I could eat bugs."

Xiao Yang chuckled, "Have you never eaten bugs before?"

Meimei didn't know Xiao Yang was driving, so she shook her head and said, "I haven't eaten before. This is the first time."

Sophia said innocently: "This is my first time eating such useless insects."

"In the future, if you want to eat, you can come to China to find me." Xiao Yang said with a smile.

"Xiao, are we going to catch those bugs tomorrow?" Meimei wiped her mouth and asked.

"Gourd bees, bumble bees... we'll look for wild bees tomorrow." Xiao Yang smiled and said, "But this is a bit dangerous."

"Bumblebee?"

Everyone was stunned. Can wild bees eat it? This really refreshed their outlook.

"In addition to wild bees, there are also locusts and so on."

"Tomorrow we will focus on catching banana maggots."

Xiao Yang showed a playful smile, "This kind of maggot is bigger and thicker, you will definitely like it more."

Meimei: "..."

The fellow next to him praised, "Panana maggots are indeed more delicious. They are rich in protein. Once you eat them, your mouth will be filled with protein."

Meimei: "..."

She really couldn't stand listening anymore.

That night, Xiao Yang went to her room again and told her about insects in detail.

the next day.

The group of people prepared their equipment and set off to Worm Valley.
