"From now on, we'll spray alcohol for disinfection in the morning, insecticide at noon, and alcohol again before bed," Xu Lin said while spraying alcohol.
"Okay, but stop spraying it. The doorknob is going to rust." Zhou Pin said, implying that the doorknob had done something wrong to deserve such criticism.
"I have a phobia of insects. I ate too many insects in my past life, and I feel like throwing up whenever I see insects."
"These insects are high in protein. They've ruined all the vegetables we planted, so we have no choice but to eat them."
"Is this what they call 'you reap what you sow'?"
"You could say that."
After spraying the alcohol, Zhou Pin went to cook, while Xu Lin watched the base's voice on her communicator.
"Attention all base members! A type of insect resembling a hen-like beetle has been discovered multiplying rapidly, damaging vegetables and grains. Please harvest your crops and vegetables as soon as possible to prevent further damage. This insect can parasitize the leaves of vegetables and grains, so please be vigilant and eliminate any insects you see... Ordinary insecticides and alcohol disinfectants can kill the insects and their eggs. Our researchers are working diligently to develop a highly effective insecticide, so survivors can rest assured..."
The official channel is continuously broadcasting precautions and pest control progress, with comments from users filling the comments section.
"Damn! We have bugs in our house too! My son was playing with them and feeding them to the vegetables, but they ate them in a few bites and grew so big! It's disgusting! Ugh!"
"When will the base distribute the insecticide? We haven't received any at all, and the bugs are rampant! They've eaten all our vegetables, boohoo..."
"Damn natural disasters! Now there's an insect plague too, are they trying to kill us all?!"
"These bugs are actually quite delicious when fried."
"Are you serious, upstairs?"
"Please share your recipe, upstairs."
"Please share the recipe, I haven't eaten meat in ages."
"Fried Insect Recipe: Bamboo worms (as needed), oil (as needed), salt (as needed), chili powder (as needed), Sichuan peppercorn powder (as needed), chicken bouillon (as needed) (I didn't have any at home, but adding some would probably make it taste better).
2. Method/Steps: First, put the insects into the basin and clean them thoroughly.
3. Scald it with boiling water and let it air dry.
4. Pour oil into the pot and heat it until it smokes.
5. Then pour the insects into the oil and fry them until cooked through.
6. Then, scoop the worms out and place them on a plate. Sprinkle in salt, chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorn powder, and chicken bouillon. A plate of fragrant, crispy, and melt-in-your-mouth worms, oily yet not greasy, is ready to be served. It's a rare delicacy and a perfect accompaniment to drinks.
"Thanks for sharing."
"I've tried it, it's delicious."
"I don't have that much oil at home. Are there any ways to cook without using too much oil? Please share."
"It tastes good when fried in oil as well."
"You can coat it with starch and fry it; it will be more fragrant."
"You can also dry them in a pan; they'll be very crispy. My little uncle (a little mouse) used to love eating the dried insects I roasted. Ah, I miss my little uncle, sob sob."
"Waaaah, I never knew there were such delicious bugs!"
"How do you all catch bugs? It's disgusting to catch them with your hands."
"Use chopsticks."
"Thank you, it broadened my perspective all of a sudden."
"What are you laughing at? Dinner's ready." Zhou Pin came out of the kitchen with a plate of stir-fried bean sprouts and saw Xu Lin laughing while holding a communicator.
"The comments under Laugh Base Voice have changed from the initial fear of bugs to everyone now discussing how to catch bugs and how to cook them deliciously."
