About one acre of bamboo cane was cut down in a short time with the help of Tian Shuian parents and the macho man Song Hu.

Seeing Song Hu so fierce, Tian Shui was happy and relaxed. He sat on the pile of bamboo canes and pulled out a bamboo cane, which made him chew leisurely. It was not until the bamboo cane was cut that he went over to help tie up the bamboo cane.

Song Wen tied up the tail of the cane and dragged the tail of the cane to the small truck and was about to leave, but he grabbed it.

"What are you doing?" Song Wen asked strangely. The things are ready, are you still waiting for someone to invite them to dinner if you don't leave?

"What are you doing when you go so fast? I have good things."

As he said that, Song Hu glanced at the cane garden.

The two of them have been together since childhood. What kind of intrigues do he have? Song Wen still doesn't know, but he just wants to get some cane insects to eat.

The "Jiao County Chronicles" records: "Sugar insects grow in the roots of the cane, which is the worm of the cane (read: degree). They are like bees without wings and thorns. They are very fragrant when eaten in children with acne, and can be eaten in water."

The locals are also called the cane-headed turtle. The cane-headed turtle is produced in the bamboo cane head. It looks very similar to a bee but is nearly twice as big. It has six feet, and the front legs are like the front feet of a mole cricket (a monkey). It is flat and powerful, can dig soil and dig holes. It has very small wings and is specially used to eat the roots of bamboo cane. It is a cane garden pest. The county annals say that the cane insect has no wings, but it actually has it, but it is very small and cannot be seen carefully.

In fact, Song Wen felt that the cane-headed turtle was very similar to the unearthed cicada, but he didn't know if it was the same variety.

In autumn and winter, after cutting bamboo cane, the old cane head must be dug off, and the cane-headed turtle will be curled into the cane root in the soil and remain motionless. At most, one cane head can harvest two or three hundred cane-headed turtles. Any cane with many cane-headed turtles in the soil must be withered and yellow and withered. It can be seen that the cane-headed turtle grows by sucking the nutrients in the cane root.

There are two ways to eat sugarcane-headed turtles: one is fried and the other is dried into dried.

When eating, the cane-headed turtle must be cleaned because the cane-headed turtle is dug out of the cane head and has some fine sand and soil on its body, which must be cleaned. First, pour the cane-headed turtle into a basin filled with warm water. At this time, the cane-headed turtle that was originally unable to shrink will squirm and crawl in the warm water, and the fine sand and soil on its body will slowly fall off, soak it for a while, then rinse it with water for a few times, and then dry it.

Put the oil in the hot pan, put the dried cane-headed turtle into the oil pan and fry it slowly. As soon as the cane-headed turtle is inserted into the hot oil pan, it immediately expands, twice as big as before, and looks more chewy. After frying it golden brown, pick it up, sprinkle a small amount of salt powder or pepper and salt, and turn it evenly. It is crispy and sweet, with a slight taste of bamboo cane juice, which is really wonderful.

In the old days, someone sold fried sugarcane-headed turtles, and the price was rated for ten units per unit. This kind of thing is not only liked by adults, but also by children. It is said that after eating it, it can eliminate accumulation and stagnation, prevent acne rash and malnutrition. Therefore, in the past, whenever the sugarcane-headed turtles were produced, it became a market in front of the village, and it was very lively.

Some people think that the sugarcane worm is a ground turtle in Chinese medicine, but it is not. The ground turtle is also called mountain cockroaches, which are poisonous and are not the same species at all.

In addition to being fried raw, cane-headed turtles can also be dried.

It is to put the washed cane-headed turtle in a steamer and steam it slowly. After drying, rub it gently with your hands. The feet, head and wings of the cane-headed turtle will fall off automatically, leaving only a cane-headed turtle body, belly, and all the fat inside is solidified and can be stored. When eating, fry it in oil, or add some seasonings to stir-fry it, which tastes more fragrant and is a hundred times better than the raw fried cane-headed turtle. It is a famous dish and a wine dish at the banquet. Some people praise it: "If you use cane-headed turtle with wine, you will never get tired of eating it, and you will never get drunk."

In the old days, anyone who came to Nanzhou to become an official should taste this rare and delicious food. When leaving office, he would buy some back home or go to Beijing to give it to relatives and friends, and respect his superiors.

It is said that there was a county magistrate who had been away from office for many years and wanted to eat a cane-headed turtle, but forgot his name. When writing a letter to his former friend in Nanzhou, he said that he wanted to buy something that "like a bee, with a wild figure and a very fragrant taste". It was a legend for a while.

After many years of staying outside, Song Wen hadn't eaten a cane-headed turtle for a long time. When he remembered his childhood memories, he couldn't help but get greedy. He took a hoe from the field with Song Hu and dug it up in the ground where the bamboo cane was cut. Unexpectedly, after digging for a long time, he could only talk about more than twenty cane-headed turtles, and he couldn't help but feel very discouraged.

The fields with bamboo cane bundled beside me, sat on the bamboo cane and watched for a long time, then said leisurely: "Don't dig, these bamboo cane are new varieties now, and it's not easy to get insects. If you have this skill, it's better to catch fish. The day before yesterday, I saw the soldier caught an eel and sold it for more than 300 yuan?"

When Song Hu heard this, he stopped the hoe that was digging the ground and asked, "Why don't I know when?"

"yesterday."

"How old is it, so much money to sell?"

"It's about this big, I heard it's two or three kilograms." Tian Shui said with two fingers.

There are not many wild eels as thick as two fingers now. Song Hu's eyes lit up, and he was moved, and he asked, "Where did you catch them? This kid is so lucky, I'll look for them the next day."

"I was fishing with fish hooks on the stream in the village. I don't know where he got the luck."

Tian Shui said angrily. He didn't know how many times he had caught that stream, let alone eels, he had never even caught a water snake.

At this time, a truck drove down the mountain. He looked at it and stood up and said to Song Hu: "I won't say anything, the car is here. Are you free tomorrow? If you have time, come here to help cook brown sugar."

"So what are you doing? Just buy some."

Song Hu tried not to do anything if he could.

"Is that the same flavor? Our bamboo cane uses mushroom soil and pig manure as fertilizer. It is a natural pollution-free food. The brown sugar cooked can be so sweet that it is so sweet that it is so sweet that it is sold outside. Can it be the same?" Tian Shui said disdainfully.

Song Hu curled his lips, "Stop blowing, hurry up and carry the bamboo cane, I will ask Awen to go together tomorrow."

"Okay, come here tomorrow, I will give you a few kilograms of brown sugar for free."

After saying that, Tian Shui and his parents carried bamboo cane into the car. After seeing it, Awen hurriedly stepped forward to help. He couldn't dig the cane worms heartlessly. Seeing the family carrying bamboo cane themselves, no matter how he said he had taken the tail of the cane, he had to express it a little.

After a while, a large pile of bamboo cane was carried onto the car, and Tianshui also had to go back with the car. Seeing that Song Hu and the others were going to dig the cane worms, they asked them to dig it and take the hoe to their homes.

Song Hu and Song Wen dig for a while, and at noon, they had only dug more than a hundred, as tired as puppies. They originally wanted to dig for a while, but unfortunately, Song Hu's wife and Song Wen's mother both called them to ask them to go back for dinner, so they had to give up.

After Song Hu helped Song Wen take the cane tail home, he hurriedly drove away because his wife urged him to eat, but kept the cane worms and said that he would come over to eat in the evening.

Chen Xiuhui knew that Song Wen was going to collect the tail of the cane, and knew that he must have not cooked, and was not worried about his old man's skills, so she rode over to help cook, and brought her wife and grandson to play here.

Xixi was so happy when she came here. She yelled and chased her. She even cheered and ran around, playing with chickens and ducks, hugging the puppy, and then ran to squat in the cowshed and talking to the buffalo waiting to be produced, having a lot of fun.
