Chapter 1278: Great Courtesy 8
At the suggestion of Lu's father, Feng Qingxue and others, Wang Zhengguo attached great importance to the cultivation of trees. Therefore, trees were replanted in the mountains, roadsides, fields and in front of and behind houses that had been almost completely cut down during the Great Steelmaking Era. They were all common poplars, willows, elms and locust trees. After several years of careful care, every summer the Wanglou Brigade was shaded by green trees, which once again attracted attention.
When the corn seedlings grew to the size of calfs, cicadas could be heard chirping in Wanglou Brigade.
Those who didn't have flashlights were reluctant to light kerosene lamps, and would just sneak along the trees to catch a few cicadas that had emerged from the ground and climbed onto the tree trunks when it was almost dark. Those who had flashlights became arrogant, and would shuttle through the cornfields and woods with their flashlights, accurately catching any cicadas they found.
In addition to cicadas on trees, they also appear on corn vines in the fields.
This thing can be eaten roasted and is as satisfying as meat.
But the Lu family doesn’t eat like this.
Feng Qingxue soaked a large basin of cicadas caught by her nephews and nephews in salt water and washed them carefully. She changed the water countless times until the water was still 10% pure.
Wash the cicada and marinate it overnight. Fry it in a frying pan the next morning and serve it. It will be crispy and fragrant when you bite it.
Except for the triplets and Fubao, the whole family loves to eat it.
The triplets are too young to eat, and Zhuangzhuang is allergic to many things. Fubao doesn’t dare to eat it either. When he sees the cicadas on the plate, he screams and hides behind adults.
"Xibao, send something to grandpa in the cowshed!" Feng Qingxue ordered her eldest son to run errands.
Xibao immediately picked up two with chopsticks and put them in her mouth. While chewing, she picked up the basket, which contained fried cicadas and breakfast prepared by her mother, the breakfast for the five grandfathers and Ding Hailan in the cowshed.
There were several female comrades who took turns cooking for the elderly people who were relocated behind the cowshed. As there were so many people, Feng Qingxue rarely brought them meals.
None of the four elderly people and one child in the cowshed can cook, and they usually live with Lu's father, so it is inevitable that they receive special care from the Lu family. Another reason is that they are all old revolutionaries who fought in the War of Resistance against Japan and deserve respect.
The elders and villagers of Wanglou Brigade would give them some food from time to time, let alone the Lu family, who were distant relatives but not as good as close neighbors?
Because it was the first time to make fried cicadas this year, Feng Qingxue asked Guan Cheng to send a portion to the teachers.
This thing is rich in nutrients and is beneficial to everyone without any harm.
Seeing the greasy fried cicada, Jin Ruochu swallowed his saliva.
"I haven't eaten this for a long time. It's a good thing. This thing was not available during the famine. Otherwise, it could have been used as life-saving food to prevent edema." Wen Ruyu said with a smile, "Come on, come on, don't just stand there, use your chopsticks!"
Seeing that Jin Ruchu liked to eat cicadas very much, Guan Cheng became interested and went out to catch cicadas every night.
The activity of catching cicadas can probably last until the beginning of the dog days, and then it will gradually become less frequent, so Guancheng seizes every opportunity to catch and pickle any that cannot be eaten, so that they can be stored for a long time without going bad.
That night, he went out before it got completely dark.
Just as I was about to turn on the flashlight and go into the woods, I suddenly heard the sounds of punching and kicking and a man crying out in pain coming from the woods.
Something's happening! The cry of pain sounds familiar.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Guan Cheng immediately walked into the woods and instantly turned on the flashlight to shine towards the source of the sound. The person who was beating and the person being beaten looked up at the same time. When Guan Cheng saw their faces clearly, his eyes widened, and he could not believe what he saw.
