Three reptiles in Huaping

If the invention of oily meat shows the intelligence of Huaping people, then the discovery of sand worms shows the brave temperament of Huaping people. Reptiles live in rivers with good environment and water quality. People call them reptiles because they usually lurk in the sand under stones. According to local residents, the worm is the larva of cicada. In late winter and early spring, sand worms began to appear in large numbers in the river. When summer came, the worm turned into an adult and flew away. When autumn comes, it goes to the river to lay eggs and continue a new round of reproduction.

People often say "the first to eat crabs" to describe those who dare to be the first in the world. Eating reptiles for the first time is no less than eating crabs for the first time. This reptile is fierce in appearance, and its front spines can sting people. It takes a little courage to subdue it, but it takes a lot of courage to eat it.

When reptiles are in danger, they often roll into a circle and then run away with the water. Some people take advantage of this feature. Instead of catching reptiles one by one, they use the flow of water to catch reptiles downstream one by one. When you are lucky, a person can catch a bucket a day.

Grasping reptiles makes many people stay away from them, and processing reptiles will also give many people goose bumps. Wash it several times with clear water, then with salt, then scald the worm with boiling water, pinch off the internal organs of the worm, and you can cook it.

There are many ways for reptiles to eat, and the most common is frying. When the oil temperature reaches the required temperature, pour the worms into the pot and fry them quickly for one minute, then pick them up and leave them for a few minutes. After the water evaporates with the hot air, put it in the pot again until it becomes brittle. Reptilia is a kind of high-protein insect, which is a good supplementary food in protein and is known as animal ginseng. During the famine years, the worm saved countless lives. It is found that reptiles are not only a nourishing food, but also a medicine, which has a good effect of tonifying kidney and strengthening body. If the child wets the bed, just make a few reptiles to eat and you will see the effect on the same day. For these reasons, Huaping people disdain to buy drugs that tonify the kidney. Whose kidney is not good? Let's eat worms. It is also for this reason that a large and high-quality reptile can sell for one or two yuan each.

In fact, there are reptiles in similar environments in other places, and some people eat reptiles, but only Huaping people eat a culture. Whenever foreign businessmen come to Huaping to discuss business, Huaping people will trap worms to test this person's courage and courage. Therefore, outsiders often leave a lot of jokes in front of bugs, which has become the talk of Huaping people after dinner.
