"Hey, are you going to roast locusts to eat?"

The cadre of the joint defense team was carrying an enamel bowl and a small coarse porcelain bowl to deliver food to Luo Xuan.

see the situation,

The cadre asked in surprise, "Isn't that true? There is a guy among the people locked up in our detention house. His family doesn't care about him and they don't bring him food.

As for them, they occasionally catch a few locusts and eat them, but you would go this far?"

Luo Xuan replied without turning his head: "I am estimating the weight of the locusts. How many locusts are there in a pound? Then based on this data, I can work out a price for purchasing locusts."

"Buying locusts? Why did you buy them? You have too much money in your pocket and you can't spend it?"

The cadres of the joint defense team were puzzled.

He opened his mouth and asked, "This is something that everyone hates. When everyone sees it, they want to stomp it to pieces. How about you, are you prepared to spend money to buy this thing?"

Luo Xuan clapped his hands and stood up.

He replied, “To make the masses enthusiastic and catch more insects, we have to give them some material rewards.

Don't look at it these days, there are a lot of locusts.

But in less than 10 days, our Hongxing Commune will have less food for them to eat.

Most of the locusts will fly away one after another. It will not be easy to purchase locusts at that time."

The cadre of the joint defense team suddenly realized, "Oh, so you are planning to spend a sum of money as a reward to encourage the masses to actively catch insects?"

Not to mention all the cadres in the commune, the masses like you. No one will dislike you for someone who loves to do good things and good things."

Luo Xuan shook his head, "Actually, this is more than just doing good deeds. These locusts are high in protein. Now we can catch more locusts and dry them in the sun.

Later, grind it into powder on a stone mill, or finely grind it in a stone mortar.

If these powders are mixed into pig feed, or the whole animals are thrown in and fed to chickens and ducks, how much food will be saved?"

"Hey young!"

"This is a good idea!"

The cadres of the joint defense team were so excited that they wanted to slap their thighs and almost smashed the two bowls in their hands.

He was so frightened that his hands trembled, and he quickly resisted his impulse and said, "You have to follow my advice. Roast these locusts and grind them into powder. They can be used not only to feed chickens, ducks, and pigs...

.”

The cadres of the joint defense team looked around.

Then he leaned close to Luo Xuan's ear and whispered, "It depends on me, when the members are cooking wild vegetables.

Make a large pot of wild vegetables, sprinkle a handful of cornmeal into it, and then sprinkle a handful of the fine locust powder.

You can still eat it!

All of them can increase nutrition, isn’t it better than just eating wild vegetables?”

Luo Xuan laughed: "Yes, yes, your method is good!"

In fact, I plan to buy a large amount of locusts and grind them into powder, which can be used to feed pigs and chickens in the future.

These are just one of the uses for locust powder.

Like future generations,

Silkworm pupae mixed into pig feed are generally eaten by pigs, but in fact, humans can also eat them.

Really high protein.

It's just that this kind of thing is a bit taboo, so just now Luo Xuan didn't mention a word about its use.

Now,

Through the mouth of this joint defense team cadre, the true purpose of locust powder was revealed.

This can only be regarded as the wisdom of the working people and has nothing to do with your own bad ideas.

Locusts can indeed be used to satisfy hunger, but grinding them into locust powder is the most suitable way to make them.

Fried locusts taste good, but everyone doesn’t have the conditions.

Roast the locusts whole and eat them in a handful or two.

But if you eat too much, the hard shells on the locusts will scratch your mouth and esophagus.

After the mouth and esophagus are injured, it will be impossible for the big guy to swallow the locusts into his stomach.

Moreover, roasting locusts bit by bit is very time-consuming and laborious.

If you don't pay attention, it will either be roasted or the heat will not be enough.

As a result, the labor cost will be very high.

But it would be easier if a dedicated person was responsible for roasting locusts on a large scale.

Or throw the locusts into the kiln of the brick yard and bake them.

Fill a large round dustpan with locusts, and one dustpan can roast at least 3 or 40 kilograms of locusts.

Even after it is dried, there is still at least 3 or 5 pounds left.

If there is no brick kiln nearby.

You can also use the production team and those huge iron pots in the big canteen to fry locusts.

Just pour a sack of locusts into the pot, and then use a shovel to stir-fry.

When these locusts are fried until they are golden in color, the pair of hard thighs on the locust's body, as well as the two wings on the locust's body.

It will fall off automatically.

Put the locusts produced in this way into a stone mortar and pound them into powder with a mallet.

Making locust powder will become particularly easy in this way.

Moreover, eating this locust powder will not cut your throat.

Communal members eat roasted locusts one by one. How can such large-scale roasted locusts be so efficient?

Locust powder made in this way can be kept for a long, long time.

Just like this joint defense team cadre said: In the future, when the members are cooking wild vegetable porridge.

Grab two handfuls of locust powder and throw it in and cook together.

This is high protein!

The nutrients are much higher than pure wild vegetables...
