    ??

    Jiang Tian was also used to Dong Shihao's straightforward temperament. He put his phone aside and started eating cicada monkey.

    This is a purely natural delicacy. It tastes very refreshing. You bite into the crispy shell. After a while, more than a dozen cicadas have eaten it.

    Xu Ze grew up in Taoshan Village when he was a child. He was no stranger to cicada monkeys and ate them happily.

    But Agui, he grew up in the city, and there is no habit of eating cicada monkeys in his area. Today is the first time he has learned to touch cicada monkeys, and it is also the first time he has seen such a thing.

    ¡° Catching cicada monkeys is like fishing. At the beginning, I was a little worried and scared because I didn¡¯t know how to fish. What if I catch something else? But once you really get started, you will fall in love with fishing all of a sudden.

    Now Aguidu still thinks about the fun of catching a monkey, which is the same as fishing.

    However, there is a difference between touching cicada monkeys and eating cicada monkeys. For those who have never tried it, the fried cicada monkeys on the plate look like big fried bugs with claws and eyes. The more they look at them, the more they look at them.  The scarier it gets.

    Fortunately, Agui is a man after all. When he saw Jiang Tian and the others eating so deliciously, he picked one up and stuffed it into his mouth. At first, he chewed it tentatively, but the more he chewed it, the more delicious it became, and the more he ate it.  The tastier.

    Soon, Agui fell in love with the taste.

    Grandpa went to the kitchen and brought bottles of seasonings and put them on the table.

    "The fried cicada monkey tastes great if you eat it alone, but you can also change the taste. Here are chili noodles, salt, cumin, and pepper. You can try it."

    Jiang Tian took the cumin jar and sprinkled some cumin on the cicada monkey, and then ate it in one bite. The flavor of cumin was added, and the layering was increased a lot. It was not like eating fried cicada monkey too much.  to greasy.

    He tried several other seasonings one after another, and they all had a pretty good taste.

    When Agui and Xu Ze ate it, they were deeply intoxicated.

    Grandpa exploded hundreds of cicada monkeys, and it didn¡¯t take them long to finish them all.

    There was nothing left on the plate except oil splatters, and everyone was quite satisfied with their food. If it hadn't been too late, and eating too much would cause indigestion, my grandpa would have fried hundreds of them.

    Jiang Tian touched his belly. He felt so good after eating this meal. The cicada monkey was indeed delicious. It still tasted the same as when he was a child.

    After eating, Jiang Tian and others helped grandpa clean the cicada monkeys and put them in the refrigerator to freeze. As long as they didn¡¯t eat the cicada monkeys at home, there wouldn¡¯t be much of a problem until the Chinese New Year

    The next day

    It was just getting slightly brighter, and before Jiang Tian and his family got up, there was a knock on the door outside.

    Jiang Tian opened his eyes, bleary-eyed, rubbed his face, and then woke up from his half-awake and half-asleep state.

    As soon as I walked out of the room, I saw that my grandpa had already dressed and came out.

    "Wake up, I guess someone from the village came to ask you to collect the monkey, go and have a look!"

    "So early!" Jiang Tian followed his grandfather out. There was a layer of mist outside, and the temperature dropped a lot again.

    The sun hadn¡¯t come out yet, but there was just a ray of light shining on the horizon. Jiang Tian looked at the time and saw that it was just five o¡¯clock.

    When I opened the door, I saw a lot of people standing at the door. They were tightly wrapped in coats and sweaters. There was cold dew on their hair and eyebrows. You could clearly see a circle of black around their eyes.  eye socket.

    The moment Jiang Tian saw it, he knew that these people had been touching the monkey all night long.

    ¡°Village Chief, I¡¯m really sorry that I came to see you so early. I mainly wanted to count the number of cicada monkeys and then we can touch them again.¡± A villager said.

    "Yes, yes."

    ¡°I always feel uncomfortable keeping these cicada monkeys at home, so it¡¯s better to send them over first.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s what we¡¯ve considered too, so we¡¯ll leave it here while you count the number, and we¡¯ll go to the forest to find the monkeys.¡±

    "Anyway, everyone knows about the village chief's character, and he will never let us know less about him."

    One villager after another started talking, one after another, quite excited and urging.

    "The sun hasn't risen yet, and those cicada monkeys will still emerge from the ground. They may be able to touch hundreds of cicada monkeys during this period, which can cost hundreds of dollars."Hearing this, Jiang Tian was a little confused about what to say. These words were clearly and covertly reminding him not to count too many cicadas. If you keep them at home, it¡¯s not because you are afraid that you will suddenly stop accepting them.

    He can be sure that these villagers have already counted them at home several times, and if they find that the number does not match, they will definitely look for trouble.

    But he had already thought about this kind of thing, there was nothing he could do about it, it was just like that when there were so many people.

    "Everyone, please send the cicada monkeys to the village committee, and we will conduct statistics. However, one person from each family must stay and watch to prevent the number from not matching the number." Jiang Tian said.

    "No need, we still believe in you, village chief. One or two are not worth much, and your family is not short of money, village chief."

    "Yes, this unconscionable amount of money is not worth it to your family at all."

    ¡°With one more person, you can touch dozens more cicada monkeys, and that¡¯s all money.¡±

    No matter what these people say, Jiang Tian is determined to keep one person from each family, just to avoid what may happen.

    Now the village says they are of the same mind as him and listen to his words, but in the face of interests, disputes will inevitably arise, and Jiang Tian does not want to spend time on these small things later.

    Since Jiang Tiandu insisted, the villagers had to leave one person behind.

    They carried the bamboo baskets, plastic bags, sacks, etc. containing the cicada monkeys to the village committee, while the rest of the people flocked to the forest again.

    Jiang Tian opened the door of the village committee and took out pen and paper. Several people worked together, two of them made statistics, and two of them recorded the quantity.

    It has to be said that Jiang Tian really underestimated the villagers.

    The number of cicada monkeys they sent far exceeded his imagination. This means that cicada monkeys will not come out of the ground continuously. After all, there is a limit. Otherwise, the villagers will be able to touch the cicada monkeys.  More to come.

    Jiang Tian made statistics for each household. Agui and Xu Ze counted the cicada monkeys. After counting all the cicada monkeys in the family, they would check the numbers with them. If they matched, they would count the cicada monkeys.  Put them in a large basket and label them with information and quantity.

    Jiang Tian and Grandpa recorded these again.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
