Escape in the Year of Disaster: She cheated after dressing up as a peasant mother-in-law

Chapter 18 Exploding Locusts ([-])

Liang Shuyan held the 5 cents handed over by the third daughter-in-law of the Ge family in her arms and patted her bulging chest: "It's not that I have trouble with you, it's that you have a lot of money and are in a panic. What can I do?"

There was a burst of admiration from the crowd.

"This Dashan Niang is really good at what she does. She made five cents in vain in less than a few strokes. Why can't I encounter such a good thing?"

Aunt Liu said sarcastically: "It's just you, I'll give you a chance, you don't have the skills of Dashan Niang!"

Liang Shuyan took a step forward and walked towards the donkey cart. Suddenly, something hit her in the face with a loud bang. She slapped her in the face, stretched out her hand, and was surprised. Open your mouth.

"Good thing, it turns out to be you. If I remember correctly, this is the second time I've seen you. I was just thinking about what to eat, but I didn't expect you to come to my door so soon!"

Mrs. Zhang saw her mother-in-law talking, walked over quickly, and said softly: "Mom, who are you talking to? Are you hungry?"

Liang Shuyan stretched out her hand, put it in front of Zhang's eyes and looked at it. Zhang was so frightened that she trembled all over and collapsed to the ground.

"Mom, yes, it's a locust!"

Liang Shuyan curled her lips and said, "Look at how useless you are. A locust can scare you like this. Go quickly, call the second brother's house, prepare a net, and come with me to catch the locusts!"

"Mom, what are you doing catching this thing? Erniu got some wild vegetables this morning. If mother-in-law is hungry, my daughter-in-law will boil some wild vegetables to make a paste."

"Locusts are such a delicious thing, why can't they be as mushy as the wild vegetables that hurt your throat? Go quickly!"

Although Mrs. Zhang looked confused, she didn't dare not listen to her mother-in-law's words. She turned around and called Ms. Liu over, holding a gauze net in her hand.

Mrs. Liu cut the gauze net with scissors, sewed three nets with needle and thread, then found half a bamboo pole with a rope, tied them up, and gave one to each of her two daughters-in-law!
Liang Shuyan's fat body pounced hard, and several locusts were caught in the net, but her butt fell hard on a rock. She covered her butt and tried not to cry out in pain.

"Did you see it? Just follow Mom's example and catch all these things. The more, the better. Mom will prepare delicious food for you later!"

Mrs. Liu shouted in surprise: "Mom, you must be so hungry that your brain is broken. How can this thing be eaten?"

Zhang covered her mouth, squatted on the side and started to gag.

Liang Shuyan didn't blame anything. People in ancient times were afraid of locusts, but they didn't know that they were edible. She shook her head and ignored Zhang, and continued to catch locusts with her two daughters-in-law.

When Aunt Liu saw it, she covered her mouth and started laughing: "Auntie, you must be going crazy with hunger. You can still eat these things. The right way is to quickly think of a way to light a fire and drive these things away!"

Some people in the crowd were curious about Liang Shuyan's behavior, and a group of children actually followed her to watch the fun.

With the help of my two daughters-in-law, I caught basketfuls of locusts in less than a while. They were so densely packed and far away that they gave people a sense of density and made everyone who saw them shrink back.Jin Dashan brought Jin Erniu, Jin Sanwang, and Jin Niuniu to join the team of catching locusts. The rest of the people thought that they were just idle and had nothing to do, but catching locusts was also a benefit. After shouting, the idle people in the village also joined the team of catching locusts one after another.

The sun was setting, and there were no locusts around. After a busy day, Liang Shuyan was also a little sleepy. She touched her waist and said, "Okay, it's almost time. My waist hurts so much. Let's call it a day!" "

But Mrs. Liu shook her head and sat down on the stone: "Mom, there are so many locusts, what are you going to do? Will this food really be delicious?"

"You will know how to do it later. If it doesn't taste good, you don't have to eat it. There are so many locusts today thanks to the help of everyone. Prepare them. I will invite the villagers to try them later. Delicious locusts!”

When Jin Sanwang heard this, he trembled: "Mom, if you think you can eat it, then it's okay for our family to just swallow it as soon as our eyes are closed, but don't invite the villagers, so as not to be laughed at. Mother, mother is going crazy with hunger!"

After resting for a while, Liang Shuyan ordered Mrs. Zhang to carry a bucket, rinse all the locusts, drain the water with a bamboo basket, and put them aside.

"Second brother's family, go prepare firewood! Boss, second brother, prepare an iron frame. Mom is going to cook delicious food for you!"

Dashan and Erniu struggled for a long time, got a shelf out, put it on the fire, and the two daughters-in-law brought over the cleaned locusts!
Sanwang prepared some bamboo sticks and was currently putting the locust on the bamboo sticks according to Liang Shuyan's instructions. Niu Niu ran towards Lao San with a pair of short legs: "Third brother, Niu Niu is here to help you. !”

Naturally, Liang Shuyan couldn't be idle. Taking advantage of this opportunity, she had to go to the system mall to buy some spicy hot sauce and seasoning packets that were not available in ancient times. Otherwise, the locusts would really not be able to eat them.

The nutrition of this locust is not ordinary. She still knew a little about this kind of thing in modern times, but to make this thing spicy, it is necessary to add more chili peppers. In ancient times, the consumption of chili peppers was not very common. But you can still find some wild sansho pepper in the mountains, but few people at the time knew it was edible.

Pour oil into the pot, add the onions, ginger and garlic prepared in advance, sauté until fragrant, add the sauce, stir-fry for a while, add the locusts, stir-fry until the locusts change color, she will chop the wild rice. Pour down the sansho pepper and chili powder obtained from the system and stir-fry for a while.

Dashan was burning a fire, and some oil splashed on his face. He wiped his face, licked it on his tongue, and shouted: "Mom, it's really delicious. What does it taste like? Why has Dashan never tasted it before?" Pass?"

A strong fragrance spread from far to near, and everyone turned to look at Yiliang Shuyan.

"How did Dashan Niang make this? I can smell this fragrance from a long way away. If it weren't for locusts, maybe I would want to take a bite?"

"Yeah, but this smell is really delicious!"

Liang Shuyan took out the cooked spicy locusts, put them on a plate, took one and put it in her mouth. It was crunchy and crispy, with a slight spicy and oily aroma. She nodded.

Dashan rubbed his hands, pointed at the locusts on the plate, and said, "Mom, it's really so delicious, can you let Dashan try it?"

Jin Dashan carefully took one and put it in his mouth, smashed it twice, and the locust disappeared. His eyes suddenly brightened: "Yeah, Mom, it's really delicious, I want to eat it again!"
