Scientific farming and raising cute babies

Chapter 681 The Birthday Gift Prepared by Meng Xizhou
Meng Xizhou didn't let it go, seeing that Gu Miao's eyes were about to turn into stars, he took out the gift he had prepared after breakfast.

"Here, it's all in this box." He carried a large wooden box from the yard next to him, put the wooden box on the ground, and motioned for Gu Miao to open it.

At this time, Jiang Xiu, Gu Tang, Gu Tian, ​​Zhao Xiaoyue, Zhao Quansheng, and Xiaoxue all gathered around to watch the fun, and Gu Tang and Gu Tian also led Wangcai Zhuangzhuang, it can be said that the whole family came.

Seeing them forming a circle, Gu Miao was all looking at her with burning eyes, she was suddenly a little embarrassed, why did they all come here?

What if the gift Meng Xizhou prepared for her is not suitable for children!
"Open it and have a look!" Seeing that she was not moving, Jiang Xiu urged.

Gu Miao clicked her tongue when she heard the words, bent down and opened the wooden box, and what came into view was a pile of... well, she blinked her eyes, and double-checked that she was right. The one on the top was an open box. The pottery pot, which contains... golden cicada?
Jinchan, this is the scientific name, which refers to the larvae of cicadas, which are called cicada monkeys here.

When you open the box, the first thing you see is a cicada monkey soaked in water in a clay pot?

……

Meow meow meow?
She was so shocked that she didn't bother to look at the other things in the box, and immediately raised her eyes to look at Meng Xizhou, "This is?"

"This is the cicada monkey you wanted to eat very much before!" Meng Xizhou didn't say anything, but Jiang Xiu was the first to explain, "Did you forget? Gu Xiangcao has loved eating cicada monkeys since she was a child, so Qian Dahua often asked us to catch them." .”

"When you were five years old, you followed me to catch cicadas that year. You said you wanted to eat them too, so I just wanted to hide a few secretly and feed them to you when I spent a lot of money and didn't pay attention. The ones you hid were discovered by Qian Dahua, and both of us were beaten severely, and you never said you wanted to eat cicada monkeys after that."

Cicada monkeys are only available in summer, and only after rain and at night. After catching them, they must be eaten that night or soaked in water, otherwise they will become cicadas the next morning.

Knowing that the monkey tastes very good, even if you just roast it with a fire, it will be full of burnt aroma, and this thing is ownerless, as long as the poor people go to the woods to catch it, they can afford it, so knowing the monkey is very important to the poor. It is a very rare meat dish that everyone likes.

It seems that the conditions of the Yun family are better now, but Gu Tang, Gu Tian, ​​Zhao Xiaoyue, and Zhao Quansheng still carry lanterns every night to catch them, and after they are caught, they are roasted and eaten directly.

This is the same as Sophora elm money, which is a very seasonal delicacy.

Gu Tang and Gu Tian, ​​who are used to eating meat now, will never miss the cicada monkey, let alone Gu Xiangcao back then. The Gu family also went out to catch the cicada monkey every night. There are many cicadas, and there are many monkeys, which can fully satisfy the people of Huaishu Village.

For this rare delicacy, the three Shou Ankang brothers guarded tightly, gave a symbolic amount of money and spent a lot of money, and the rest went into the stomachs of themselves and their children.

But Gu Fushun and Jiang Xiu were stupid, and Qian Dahua manipulated them to death, and handed over all the cicada monkeys they caught. It was a severe beating, not even the little original owner escaped.

In the past, Jiang Xiu was very kind to the original owner, and wanted to quietly leave some food for the original owner, but unfortunately, Qian Dahua found out every time, and the number of times she was beaten, Jiang Xiu also began to become solid-eyed , I no longer dare to leave anything privately, and hand in all the things I have obtained.
