Chapter 80: Everything Can Be Baked
Chapter 80 Everything can be baked
“Not really.”
Yin Chengyun recalled that the locust plague problem was never really solved.
“Miss Yin is right, but unfortunately not everyone is as transparent as you are.”
Xiao Xuan looked at the basket of locusts covered with cloth, it was obvious that those locusts were bigger than those of the previous two days.
“Actually… If there is a locust plague, it will still come. We don’t have arable land, so the vegetable plot in the yard can be guaranteed.”
Yin Miao said, being praised by Xiao Xuan like this, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed, not because she was more transparent than others, but because she came from a different era.
The best solution to the locust plague in modern times is to spray pesticides, but in ancient times, that was the only way.
“That’s good, next time we’ll take a few chickens and ducks raised at home and let them go outside to eat locusts, as much as they can eat.”
Yin Chengyun felt that in addition to walking his daughter-in-law on weekdays, he could also walk a few more chickens.
Walking the chicken?
Yin Miao really admired her third uncle, not because they were afraid that the chickens raised at home would run away and not come back, but because they were afraid that they would not come back.
If someone catches and eats one, they can only eat Huanglian dumbly, so Yin Chengyun came up with a way to walk the chicken.
Until Brother Han was about to leave the school, Yin Miao and Mrs Zhang decided to have a barbecue in the courtyard at night.
She also called Yunhe specially, and Yin Chengyun needed help to build the barbecue.
A small basket of locusts has been cleaned up by the Zhang family. Changling Village is not rich in bamboo, so Yin Miao specially borrowed some slender wooden sticks from Fang Tianhai’s house instead of bamboo sticks.
“There will be more locusts in the future, so let’s make some fried locusts. After frying, pickle them with salt and keep them for a long time.”
Yin Miao crouched down and put on the locust.
“Really? Isn’t that something you can take out to eat when you’re hungry, and can be used as a snack?”
Mr. Zhang asked happily.
“Probably, it can be rolled into pancakes or bibimbap.”
Yin Miao said while recalling.
“Miss Yin, it should be marinated first and then fried.” Yunhe corrected.
“Yeah, I forgot too, but Yunhe knows more.”
Yin Miao smiled awkwardly, she didn’t know many dishes.
“Miss Yin knows a lot, these practices are unheard of before Yunhe.”
Yunhe said seriously.
“That’s right. It’s the first time I heard that locusts can be eaten. I think there is such a book in the capital. Where did you read it, Miaoer?”
Yin Chengyun built stones on one side, and put some firewood in the middle, which was going to start a fire.
“I also forgot, which should be a folk hunting book.”
Yin Miao replied.
“It seems that some folks have already tried it.”
Mr. Zhang put a bunch of locusts on the plate, while Yunhe picked it up without a teacher and started brushing oil and roasting it.
Yin Miao saw that Yunhe was very skilled, so she didn’t interfere at all, but was eager to bake some other things to eat.
The roasted locusts soon gave off a fragrance, and the whole family was attracted. Seeing that Yin Miao had dug out cassava and small taro from the yard again, Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Zhen simply put down their embroidery work to help.
“Can these be baked?”
As soon as Mrs Zhen finished cleaning the cassava, she saw that Yin Miao brought in a small basket with some fresh black porcini mushrooms, and some cabbage that had been bitten by insects and so on.
“Miao’er thought that those locusts are not enough for everyone to eat. Although these have not been roasted, you can try them.”
Yin Miao hasn’t eaten barbecue for a long time, but she can be sure of one thing, that everything can be grilled.
“Yes, then you can leave it here, I’ll wash it.”
Zhen Shi remembered that there were still a few men with big appetites at home, so they all came over.
The whole family participated in such a dinner. Yin Zhenghong also learned the key points of barbecue next to him. Yunhe simply gave him his seat and went to the kitchen to start pancakes.
Brother Han and Yin He came back to see such a lively appearance at home, and they were also happy one by one.
“Both of you wash your hands before you can eat.”
Yin Miao urged that she always asked the two of them to wash their hands before meals, especially Yin He who had stayed in the Su Wanfeng Medical Center.
“We’ve already washed it.”
Brother Han showed his little white hands, and Yin Miao asked too many times, and he and Yin He had already formed a habit.
“That’s good, you can start eating.”
Yin Miao handed the two of them a few skewers of roasted locusts. The scorched roasted locusts made Brother Han who liked meat quite fond of them, and he had long forgotten what he said at the beginning not to eat locusts.
“It’s delicious. I’ll tell Xiaobao and the others tomorrow that they can go home and bake it too.”
Brother Han said happily.
“Miao’er, what kind of meat is this? It tastes very fragrant.”
Yin Bowen asked with a bunch of things sprinkled with seasoning.
“This is roasted cassava, Yunhe’s craftsmanship is good, and it really tastes like meat.”
Yin Miao didn’t expect the sliced roasted cassava to be so delicious, she just dug out two more.
“Tsk tsk, if this is paired with two glasses of wine, it’s a perfect match on earth!”
Yin Bowu has eaten roasted meat, but never roasted vegetarian vegetables or roasted locusts, and he always thinks that the things he grows are especially delicious, even the oily roasted cabbage, which makes him full of praise.
“There are also baked pancakes in the kitchen. If you want to eat them, go get them yourself.”
Wei rolled a burrito for the younger son and Yin He each, which contained roasted locusts and various sliced vegetables. Brother Han asked for another after eating.
The smell of the charcoal fire in the yard was strong, and the family was worried about Xiao Xuan’s health, so they only called Yun Jiang out to eat. Seeing that Yun He was still busy, Mrs. Zhen put all kinds of freshly baked barbecue and wraps on two plates. , let Yin Miao send it to Xiao Xuan.
Xiao Xuan saw Yin Miao come in with a plate, took out an item from the wooden box next to it and put it on the table.
“this is for you.”
“What is this?” Yin Miao looked at the delicate porcelain bottle in her hand, it seemed to be medicine?
“Both trauma medicine.”
Xiao Xuan picked up a bunch of cabbage and looked at it for a while before putting it in his mouth.
Bruises?
Yin Miao suddenly remembered that she was tripped and fell by Zheng Feiyao. Could it be that?
“Thank you, actually you don’t need to apply medicine…”
Yin Miao said embarrassedly.
“I’m superfluous here.”
Xiao Xuan’s tone was indescribable. The roasted cabbage was still very crisp. I don’t know what kind of sauce was brushed on it, and it tasted really good.
“All right.”
Yin Miao thought about it, and finally put it away. Xiao Xuan’s medicine has always been very useful, and she planned to put it in the fresh-keeping box of the space as a backup.
“Go to catch locusts tomorrow, I’ll go with you.”
Just when Yin Miao was about to turn around and leave, Xiao Xuan suddenly said.
“You want to catch bugs too?”
Yin Miao blurted out and asked.
“If you have nothing to do, move around more.”
Xiao Xuan was referring to Su Wanfeng’s exhortation.
“That’s right, then I’ll call you tomorrow.”
Yin Miao knew that Xiao Xuan disappeared for a whole day when he walked around last time. If he used this as an excuse to disappear for a day next time, it might lead to suspicion.
However, in the early morning of the next day, Xiao Xuan looked at Yin Miao and Mrs. Zhang who were ready to go, and suddenly regretted going out with them…
