Take a pot and a half of locusts with their wings and legs removed, soak them in clean water and sprinkle with salt, let them spit out the black water, and then rinse them.

Zheng Xiaorou took the large sieve basket, sifted out as much water as possible from the locusts, and let it dry.

By the time dinner was finished, the locusts were almost dry.

Everyone ate dinner very hastily because they were not over the urge to remember eating bugs when they were children and were looking forward to eating locusts.

Xiaobao asked Zheng Xiaorou to help him divide the locusts into two parts: "Sister-in-law, let's make two flavors!"

"Okay, I'll do whatever you tell me!" Zheng Xiaorou agreed readily.

Xiaobao divided the work between Zheng Xiaorou and Gan Lai. Zheng Xiaorou was responsible for frying the locusts; Gan Lai was responsible for dry-baking the locusts.

The five boats were in one place, and the boys on the boat looked eagerly at the two pots on the bow of the Xiaobao boat.

Xiaobao stood between the only two women in their group and told Zheng Xiaorou on the left: "Sister-in-law, is this oil 50% hot now? If so, locusts will rain."

He doesn't understand temperature either.

He turned around and told Gan Lai: "The pot is hot, grease it with oil and sprinkle with salt!"

Seeing that the salt was evenly sticking to the oiled pan, Xiaobao poured the locusts down and spread them evenly with his hands.

Then he turned to the left and looked at Zheng Xiaorou’s oil pan: “Sister-in-law, it’s time to fish it out!”

Everyone saw that Xiaobao was busy taking care of both the left and right, so they laughed: "Sanshun, it's up to you to take care of others!"

Xiaobao looked at these boys who were just making sarcastic remarks and doing nothing but waiting for food. He was not angry at all. When Zheng Xiaorou took out the fried locusts and put them into a big basin, he said: "Show your strength."

The time has come!"

Xiaobao grabbed a handful of crushed chili peppers and threw them into Gan Lai's pot. He also took a handful of chili powder and cumin powder from the salt jar and sprinkled them into his own basin.

Then--

Xiaobao held the basin with both hands and shook it at a speed that shook out residual images. The various powders inside rolled up and down as he shook, and evenly adhered to the oily locusts.

And his little butt was not idle either. It swayed left and right as it trembled, and his mouth opened and closed rapidly without stopping:

“The three strange things in the sky are the sun, moon and stars, and the ghosts and gods are all over the sky and the earth.

The gods bowed their heads in obeisance upon seeing this, and the evil spirits kept running away when they saw it.

The sky is full of spirits, the earth is full of spirits,

Liujia and Liuding listen to my orders,

The golden boy and the jade girl lead the heavenly soldiers,

How can the gods not subdue, how can the ghosts not frighten!

Qin Wu's talisman orders to sweep away locusts and demons, and the time has come to carry it out..."

While chanting, he swayed and shook rapidly. After chanting twice, he put the basin on the table: "Brothers, you are in a hurry, just like the law, eat!"

Just watch the boys from each boat swish and jump onto Xiaobao's boat, ready to eat.

The hull of the boat suddenly rocked, and Gan Lai, who was imitating Xiaobao's example of shaking a basin and dry-roasting locusts, became anxious and shouted: "Go back!"

The boat is going to be capsized by them, but is that okay?!

The rule of sailing is that you are not allowed to say the word "turn over", so Gan Lai just cursed "go back" and didn't curse much, but everyone could hear her anger.

Taking a closer look, no wonder Gan Lai was angry: she imitated Xiaobao in shaking the pot, but she was so strong that she shook the locusts high into the air. When the boys jumped on the boat, she couldn't stand still and the locusts fell to the ground.

In order to avoid getting angry, Chu Yuan used the speed of the wind and rain to put the locust back into the pot.

Xiaobao immediately stood next to her and took the iron pot: "It has to be like this...turn the pot slowly...you can't flip the spoon so wildly, you see, the insects are shaking out of the water, you have to let it sit next to the stove fire slowly..."

Roast it slowly so that when it comes out of the pan, it will be browned and crispy without sticking to the bottom of the pan."

It's a pity that Xiaobao knows how to talk but doesn't know how to practice. He talks so much that the locusts in the pot are still unevenly heated. He is so angry that he picks up a shovel and starts to stir-fry.

Zheng Xiaorou understood that it was about dry baking, but she didn't dare to eat bugs anyway, so she simply took over: "I'll do it."

The pot of fried locusts has been shaken by Xiaobao to the right temperature. It won't burn your mouth if you eat it now, but it will be cold if you don't eat it.

A group of young men stared eagerly at the fragrant delicacies, unable to eat and staring in excitement.

Gan Lai hadn't finished getting angry just now. When he saw this group of people eagerly trying to rush over, he couldn't hold back and cursed: "Stay there, don't come over! Just fly away if you can."

Isn't it? It can jump better than a locust!"

Chu Yuan hurriedly brought a stack of plates and quickly served them one by one.

My girlfriend has a bad temper, we have to be considerate.

To say that the boys of the Chu family really love their wives, Baijiaxing has already picked up a locust and handed it to his wife's mouth.

It's a pity that the flattery was slapped on the horse's leg.

Zheng Xiaorou looked at a pot of locusts and her patience reached its limit. Suddenly one popped out of her mouth and she screamed in fright. Fortunately, she didn't throw the pot away.

There were sounds of chewing and admiration all around: "Hey, it smells so good!"

"It's delicious. Even though it looks so ugly, it actually smells good!"

"This thing is actually edible! Why didn't anyone eat it when we were kids?"

"Yeah, I didn't see anyone eating it when I was a kid."

"When I was a child, I heard the old man in the village say that you can't eat this food, and the Locust Temple will punish you."

"I wanted to say it before, but my boss didn't seem to care, so I didn't dare to say it. But I didn't expect it to be so delicious."

"Hey, tell me, if we eat so many locusts, will the Locust God punish us?"

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Everyone's hands reaching for the plates stopped in mid-air.

"Let's start the pot!" Zheng Xiaorou put the baked locusts on the plate and said while putting them: "I see you, you are so big in vain! Eat with confidence, even if you are punished, it will not fall on you, locusts

I cooked it for you!"

Damn! Return the Locust God! What a god! If there really is a god in this world, and my mother worships the god so devoutly, why doesn’t the god bless her with health and happiness? Why does the father, regardless of the love between the couple, demote the mother to an equal wife?

No punishment?

If there really is a God, and Grandma worships God so devoutly, why does God refuse to bless her child and turn a good child into a bastard?

No one ate locusts before, so locusts never came?

Zheng Xiaorou thought in her mind, and used the shovel to pull away the locusts, and she used a lot of force, and many locusts were smashed by her shovel.

A woman is so bold, which makes the young man feel ashamed, and the fragrance is so fragrant, why does he care about the God of Locusts?

"I caught the locusts, young master! I will catch them tomorrow to see who dares to convict. If you dare, let the Locust God come to me and see if I don't blow it up into a panic!" Xiaobao stretched out his hand to grab the dried and roasted locusts and went to them.

His mouth was stuffed, it was not fried enough and he didn't eat it.

"Hahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter, as if they were not worried about themselves just now, and they were still discussing while eating:

“The dry roasted ones are delicious too!”

"It smells so good! I'll just say it and eat it and that's it!"

"My boss is still awesome, I'm not afraid of anything!"

"My boss is right. What's so scary about a little bug? No matter how powerful it is, I'm telling you, a bug is just a bug, and it can't become a god! Alas, it can't be! Only humans can become gods, and bugs can at best become spirits!"

"That's not necessarily true. You can become an immortal if you don't want to be a god. Over there, people become gods and immortals. We have people who worship Wong Tai Sin."

"What is Wong Tai Sin?"

"Weasel!"

"Isn't it?"

"Really! What other fox fairies, white fairies, willow fairies, gray fairies..."

"What are you talking about?"

Everyone ate and said loudly and loudly, but there was nothing they could do. They were across the boat and couldn't be heard if they didn't shout. There were dozens of people, and the sky was filled with excitement.

Xiaobao also participated in the "proclaiming chat": "You know, I always enshrine the things that I fear and worry about. I feel that if I offer them carefully and worship sincerely, these things will no longer embarrass me;

However, what is supposed to come will always come. Take locusts for example. In which year are there no locusts? It’s just a matter of more or less;

For another example, what you just mentioned, my mother told me, it is called the "Five Immortals", fox yellow and white willow ash, the five immortals, the fox fairy is the fox, the yellow fairy is the weasel, the white fairy is the hedgehog, and the willow fairy is

Snake, gray fairy is a mouse..."
