Rebirth in the fiery red years, I am farming in space Chapter 373 Still want to pinch me?
There is nothing in the holding cell.
Except for a bed and a hard chair, it was empty inside, and it was definitely a bare house.
Even mice don't want to make their nests here.
Among the people who can be locked up here are cowardly and honest people, but most of them must be desperadoes.
When rats come, their lives are probably in danger.
Luo Xuan was bored in the detention room.
There are all kinds of books in my space, but I can't calm down and I really can't read them.
I had to lie down for a while, then stand up and spin around in circles. After a few laps, I felt bored.
Then I sneaked to the door of the detention room next door and watched the guys who were locked in the room, catching locusts through the wooden gate and eating them.
Maybe they are greedy.
(The real reason is up to you to guess...)
Only seen.
Some of them just caught locusts and stuffed them into their mouths until their mouths were filled with green juice.
It looks a bit scary...
Because these guys ate so quickly, the locusts had sawtooth-like structures on their thighs.
If you're not careful, your mouth will bleed...
If you want to eat locusts originally, fried ones are better.
No matter what,
Not to mention the general members of the commune, even Luo Xuan himself, who was always famous for his arrogance, did not dare to be so extravagant.
Remove the frying.
Roasting locusts over fire is also a barely acceptable cooking method.
However, these people who are locked up in the detention room are not allowed to have fire on their bodies.
So tearing the locusts apart with their hands became their only option...
Those people who were trying their best to catch locusts and stuff them into their mouths through the wooden gate saw Luo Xuan wandering there.
One of them, a big black man, said, "Little brother, is there any fire in you?"
"have."
Luo Xuan nodded: "Not only yes, but I'm also very angry!"
The man was furious: "Are you just kidding me? Anyone who can be locked up here will be very angry. Damn it, if you are locked in the deepest place, how can you not get angry?"
Luo Xuan laughed and said: "Then since you have a big fire, why don't you use your own fire to roast the locusts and eat them?"
The big black man snorted coldly: "Don't bullshit me here! Do you believe that when I come out, I will create a secret for you?"
small book booth
Luo Xuan laughed loudly: "You have no ability, but you are still stubborn! Even if you are a lion, you are now locked in the iron bars for everyone to watch.
If you have a sweet tooth, you might be able to coax something to eat.
Just by yelling at tourists, do you think anyone will be afraid of you? If you don’t have any ability, you will just talk nonsense?
You're just Shabi, you deserve to be in there and can't get out!"
In another room, a skinny middle-aged man was locked up.
He heard the conversation between Luo Xuan and that man.
Suddenly, I felt blessed and felt that there was something in Luo Xuan's words.
then,
The skinny middle-aged man quickly said, "Little brother, can you help me? Anything will do!
A handful of raw corn or a rotten sweet potato are both things we don’t mind.
You don’t know, after staying here for a few days, I am so hungry that I want to eat everything.”
Luo Xuan took out a pack of "Hongmei Brand" cigarettes from his body and took out one.
I lit it with a match and handed it to the middle-aged man through the wooden gate, "I'm full of rock candy and hungry for cigarettes. This is the condition now, so don't mind it."
The middle-aged man took the cigarette and thanked him repeatedly.
It means eating rock candy when full and smoking when hungry.
In fact, it means: If you eat rock candy after you have just eaten, it will be tasteless.
Smoking when you are hungry will make you more anxious.
But the middle-aged man was locked in the room, while Luo Xuan was wandering leisurely in the yard.
If middle-aged people can get something, it’s already pretty good!
Even an empty cigarette box,
He can also look at the pictures on it to kill his boredom.
It's better than nothing.
Seeing that the middle-aged man was quite sensible and polite, Luo Xuan reached out and took out a fruit candy from his pocket.
With a flick of his fingers,
The candy clicked through the gap in the wooden gate without any mistake.
Fall into the room of the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was so happy that he almost knelt down and kowtowed to Luo Xuan: "Thank you, I really appreciate this little brother!"
When the big black man who threatened Luo Xuan just now saw this, he immediately felt regretful!
Do you want to continue playing the tough guy?
However, my actual conditions do not allow it.
The man was afraid of missing this good opportunity, so he hurriedly said to Luo Xuan, "Little brother, little brother, we always have a bad mouth.
Don't be angry with me, don't be angry! How about, little brother, give us a cigarette and a piece of candy, okay?"
Luo Xuan shook his head: "I'm waiting for you to come out and help me pinch the hair. Remember, I'm waiting for you next door..."
After saying that,
Luo Xuan swayed back to the house with his hands behind his back.
Time will not change according to human will. Whether it is happiness or sadness.
Time passed by like that little by little.
After the commune cadres all got off work, the big canteen in the commune compound officially opened for dinner.
Tonight in the cafeteria, we had roasted pork with lettuce.
3 cents per serving.
The staple food is rice mixed with corn kernels. This requires a special internal meal ticket, and the chef in the cafeteria will provide him with rice.
Luo Xuan lay on the hard bed in the detention room and squinted for a while.
But there was something on my mind, I was tossing and turning, and I couldn't fall asleep.
After baking the pancakes for a while, Luo Xuan simply stood up and squatted at the door of the detention room, catching locusts to play with.
There are more and more locusts now.
Moreover, their wings have begun to grow longer, and the jumping ability of their legs has also been greatly improved.
Before our eyes, these locusts are about to turn into adults.
This means that the scope of locust spread will become wider and wider, and their ability to migrate will become higher and higher.
When these locusts truly turn into adults, the overwhelming, black locusts will gnaw away all the vegetation in a place.
Then it will go straight to the next destination.
The courtyard of the detention room is relatively remote. Usually, there are relatively few people whether cleaning or walking around here.
therefore,
The yard was overgrown with weeds, and no one was interested in clearing it away, which attracted a lot of locusts to eat.
Luo Xuan squatted on the ground.
After a while, a large number of locusts were caught.
After crushing their heads, Luo Xuan collected the bunch of locusts and gathered them into a pile.
"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...
