"Buzzing~" There was a sound ringing in my ears all the time, and I lay on the sofa and opened my eyes in a daze.
"Grandpa, what is this?" At this moment, I saw my grandpa holding a thin bamboo stick with a small bug on it, flying non-stop.
"Haha, you haven't seen it before!" Grandpa said mysteriously.
"Well, what is this? I've never seen it before!" The little bugs kept flying, as if they didn't know they were tired.
"This is bamboo shoot worm! Only in summer!"
"Oh? Bamboo shoot worms? I've never seen one before! Do they grow on bamboo shoots?"
"That's right, after the bamboo shoots grow in summer, the bamboo shoot worms run around"
"That's it, Grandpa, where did you catch the bamboo shoot worm in your hand? Is it the bamboo forest at our door?"
"No, I searched the door several times, but I didn't find any bamboo shoots. I caught them out of my mind." Grandpa said with a smile.
It turned out that it was caught there, no wonder I haven't seen it before. I often play in the bamboo forest. If there are bamboo shoot worms, I will definitely meet them.
"Are there any more over there? I want to catch them too," I asked expectantly.
"There should be more, but I don't know the details. I don't think there are many this year, but last year, it's easier to catch." The bamboo shoot worms in Grandpa's hands may be tired from flying, and finally stopped.
At this time, I can study it carefully.
"Here, here you are" Grandpa handed me the bamboo shoot worm.
After taking the bamboo shoot worm and observing it closely, I found that it is similar to a large scarab, with a hard shell and a long straw on the head, which should be its mouth.
The mouth grows like a straw, probably for survival. The shell of bamboo shoots is very thick, and it is more convenient to have a long straw.
After the mouth, there are two black sesame-like eyes, the head is a bit like a bamboo shoot shell, light yellow, and the wings are golden yellow, covered under the hard shell.
Gently squeeze it up, it feels smooth, but very hard.
"Bamboo shoots are delicious" Grandpa said.
"Is this still edible?" Seeing its strange appearance, I don't have much appetite, but I can still eat it?
"Well, put it in the stove and burn it for a few minutes, it's very fragrant~" Well, I'm almost drooling, and seeing Grandpa's appearance, he has eaten it many times.
"Then take me to catch some more, one is too few" I looked at my grandpa pitifully, hoping he could take me there. After all, grandpa is usually very busy, so it is rare for him to have time.
"Okay, let's go." After finishing speaking, grandpa went out first, without delaying at all.
"Don't you put them in something?" I still expressed my doubts. What should I do if I catch a lot later? You can't keep it in your pocket, can you? I'm not used to it!
"Just wait for two bamboo sticks to come. Wear them with bamboo sticks, they can still fly"
"Besides, it's not as many as you think. It's not bad to be able to catch 2-3. You think there are a lot of wow." Well, grandpa instantly dispelled my idea of ??having a big meal.
Think about it, too, if the bamboo shoot worms appeared in groups, grandpa wouldn't just bring back one. And there are not so many bamboo shoots for them to eat.
Following in the footsteps of grandpa, along the creek, all the way to Nianxintou.
There are our fields here, so grandpa will come here occasionally. If it weren't for this, who would come to such a remote place without incident?
It is very far away from the main road, and there are no households. There are many bamboos around, and the view is not very good, so it looks rather gloomy. Except for those who make a living, basically no one comes here.
"Grandpa, which family does the bamboo here belong to?" Such a large bamboo forest, if it is said to be wild, no one would believe it!
"The bamboo belongs to Er Mazi's family, and the tree is planted by us"
Er Mazi's family still has bamboo here, but only his family is the most suitable. Going southeast from the bamboo forest, the nearest one is Er Mazi's house.
Where do bamboo shoot worms grow? I am a layman. Looking at my grandpa's calm expression, I decided to ask him to explain it to me: "Grandpa, where are the bamboo shoot worms? Tell me about it."
"There are no shoot worms on bamboo. Look for the short, tender shoots. Look carefully. They usually hang on top of them."
I see! Bamboo shoots only eat bamboo shoots! He doesn't even eat bamboo, so he's really not picky!
This is also good, greatly narrowing down the scope of my search. So my grandpa and I went our separate ways and searched separately.??.
This bamboo forest is very large, there are dozens of cages of bamboos, big and small, it seems that it will take a lot of time to search all of them.
After I picked out a cage of bamboo, I started a frantic search.
Bamboo shoots grow among the bamboos. The small bamboo shoots are only one foot high, some are covered by the bamboo shoot shell, and some have just emerged.
The bamboo cage in front of me has seven or eight bamboo shoots, all of which are of the same size, after all, they belong to the same batch.
Look for one by one, carefully look from the tip of the bamboo shoots to the bottom, trying to find the difference in a certain part.
?As a result, after repeated disappointments, the bamboo cage has been found.
"Grandpa, why not? Did you catch it?"
"It's so fast. I used to look for several cages before I saw one. You only saw one cage now. Isn't it normal?"
Alas, it seems that bamboo shoot worms are indeed relatively rare, and I have to use dim sum to find them.
So I changed a new cage and continued to search As time went by, I have searched for three cages in a row, but I still haven't seen half of the bamboo shoot worms.
"I found it! Ren Tao, come quickly!" Grandpa's voice at this moment seemed to be a shot in the arm, lifting my heart that was about to give up in an instant.
After running over quickly, under the guidance of my grandfather, I found the bamboo shoot worms on the bamboo shoots.
This one looks smaller than the previous one, but it's still alive and kicking.
Grandpa instructed me to catch the bamboo shoot worms.
After skimming a length of bamboo shreds from the side, pinched off the front leg of the bamboo shoot worm, leaving only half of the leg.
Then put the bamboo stick through the remaining leg. Although it is a bit cruel, it seems that this method has been passed down from a long time ago.
After the bamboo shoot worm was dressed, we started a new round of searching
In the end, not all the bamboo cages were swept away, the amount of work was too great! After I searched for more than a dozen cages, I gave up because I couldn't find them all the time! I don't know if they are hiding from me on purpose!
And grandpa caught a total of 3, plus the first one, a total of four bamboo shoot worms!
After returning home, I only burned one to eat, and released the others when I was tired from playing. After all, we are kind people.
To be honest, I only smelled the smell of burnt bamboo shoot insects, but I didn't taste the aroma. I don't know if I ate it wrong, or what the reason is. In short, I won't eat this again (Remember Website website: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
