The style of that bowl of dumpling soup, the grasshopper in winter [..com]

From the early morning, the rain started to fall... It was not heavy, nor was it a heavy rain. It fell on the ground outside the window in an orderly manner, making a slight drizzle.

After all, he couldn't sleep anymore. Sun Gang felt that the quilt was a little light, so he curled up to keep warm. After the winter, the rain was cold, not to mention that it was extremely snowing a few days ago.

The houses in the orchard are not big, and half are used as warehouses, with food for feeding chickens and ducks. At this time, I felt like I was filled with the cold air that was coming to my face.

When I woke up in the morning, the rain stopped.

Sun Gang pushed open the door and took a deep breath of fresh air in the morning after the rain. He went home along the edge of the pond.

"Mom, the quilt is a little thin..."

"I said I would change it for you a few days ago. You don't want to change it yet. I'll get a bed of 8 kilograms later." The quilts in rural areas are generally divided into 10 kilograms, 8 kilograms, and 6 kilograms. 10 kilograms are the thickest. Sun Gang always feels that the quilt is too thick and he can't breathe when pressing on his body.

"Gangwoo, don't you have a cold or fever, right?" Sun's mother touched her forehead.

"No, it just feels a little cold."

"I'll make you dumpling soup later."

Geddon soup can be used as both a staple food and a dish. Northerners especially like to drink it. When they were young, they had a fever and lay there for three days. They were not energetic or appetite. My mother always said that they would sweat, and they would not be able to subside if they were not burned."

Then, he turned around and went into the kitchen, and after a while he brought out a bowl of red and green dumpling soup with a few little oil stars floating. At that time, Sun Gang's nose was not ventilated, and he could only see a little sesame oil on it, but he couldn't smell the smell of sesame oil, but that way he could still arouse a little appetite.

As soon as a spoonful of glutinous rice dumplings were running smoothly into the esophagus, without chewing them. My mother was afraid that it would be inconvenient for him to eat, so she deliberately made the bumps smaller.

The red tomatoes are a little sour when they bite into their mouths, and the green spinach makes the whole bowl of soup look vibrant.

Although Sun Gang likes to borrow the ginger flavor when cooking, he doesn't like to eat ginger directly. But at that time, the fine ginger shreds in the bowl could not disturb his taste buds at all. His nose was blocked and the ginger smell could not taste much. Moreover, the shreds of ginger were cut so thin and evenly scattered in the bowl, which was very beautiful, and he had the heart to pick them out.

After a bowl of dumpling soup, sweat immediately came out, and people were basically awake at night. Dad Sun said that he had a greedy disease and his mother made the dumpling soup.

The effect of this soup is really significant. As long as you have a cold and need to sweat, you can get a bowl of it to ensure it will work. More importantly, it can also help strengthen your physical strength, and only with strength can you have good resistance.

Sun's mother put a small bowl of noodles, added water, and slowly beat it into small dough with chopsticks.

After the lumps are finished, boil the water and part of the lumps are poured in. Sometimes it is easy to stick into a large piece.

Put the chopped green onion, coriander, cabbage leaves and fine shredded ginger into it, cook it for a little while and then cook it, then add salt and add some other seasonings according to the taste. Finally, turn off the heat and add a few drops of sesame oil to give a few bright oily flowers on it.

A dish of blue and white, delicious and fragrant "dump soup". Serve it in a bowl, and the scent of the smell is wrapped around the hot air.

After taking a sip, Sun Gang felt comfortable and warm all over.

The style of that bowl of dumpling soup is really...

…………

As the saying goes, "The grasshopper after autumn - it will take a few days to jump", this is a hentai for everyone.

Autumn is coming, the grass is withered and the leaves are yellow, so there is nothing to eat. In addition, winter is coming, frost and snow fall, so how can the grasshopper live?

Besides, the birds in autumn are preparing for winter, and their appetite increases greatly. The grasshoppers in autumn are slow to move, which is just the delicious food for the birds.

So in Sun Gang's impression, he would never see grasshoppers again after the beginning of winter.

But this is not the case.

A few days ago, Sun Gang picked up stones on the hillside in the orchard. Suddenly, a grasshopper popped out of the grass, followed by another one. Where did this thing come from?

The weather is already so cold. Besides, what about the dead grass all over the mountains?

Sun Gang grasshoppers usually only eat monocotyledons. If they start from the withered and yellow grass, they can't eat it for forty or fifty days. However, their energy remains unabated and they still fly four or five feet or even more than ten feet away. It is not easy to catch one.

These little lives are really tenacious. Sun could still have grasshoppers in winter just now.

However, freshness is fresh, I didn’t care much at that time, because the sunshine on the orchard hillside is not short, and there are good warm conditions among the dead grass. It is not too strange that a few grasshoppers survived by chance.

Sun Gang was really surprised to see them again the second time.

A few days ago, there was a light snowfall, and there were still snow everywhere on the top of the mountain and on the shade. Sun Gang went to the north of the hillside to see the bamboo fungus in the bamboo forest. Suddenly, a few grasshoppers flew up, and then a few more, and they still jumped high and flew far away.

Do these grasshoppers become sperm? Sun Gang caught one and observed it. A drop of dark green liquid was spit on his hands. It seemed that there was a lot of liquid in his body, which meant that his vitality was still very strong. Could it be that they really wanted to survive the winter?

Sun Gang vaguely felt the problem was serious. If this was the case, it must have been caused by the warm winter.

An insect that could not have been able to survive the winter was passed by due to climate change, which means that the laws of nature have been broken.

But looking at the behavior of these insects, it seems that they can't live the winter right away.

Because generally speaking, insects that can survive the winter must learn to adapt to winter. They always find ways to lie dormant to reduce energy consumption.

As Sun Gang knows, most insects turn into pupae and drill into the soil. Some people also spend the winter, such as ladybugs and flies, have to find a place to hide to avoid the severe cold of winter.

These grasshoppers are obviously in a timely manner. They do not burrow into the soil or hide in the grass. When the sun is right at noon, they will shine proudly on the stones. Once there is a shock, they will jump and soar like summer, without saving any physical strength.

Although they don’t look like winter, they still aroused Sun Gang’s curiosity. How could they survive?

As the weather got colder, Sun Gang could see fewer and fewer grasshoppers, but there were still some living ones.

In Sun Gang's memory, grasshoppers lay eggs from white dew to the autumnal equinox. After laying eggs, their life journey was basically completed.

When Sun Gang was a child, there were many grasshoppers in groups. So at that time, grasshoppers were often eaten delicious.

But grasshoppers cannot be eaten after autumn. Because there are maggots in their bodies after laying eggs. When they open their necks, there are often long maggots, which means that at the end of their lives, even if they are still alive for a while, they are already very unhealthy. They are either eaten by birds or have been booked as bread for children by other insects.

Over the past few days of observation, Sun Gang noticed a phenomenon that the adults who were preparing for oversized insects have become very late. For example, the ladybug is an adult who spends winter, and its oversized adults do not grow until after autumn. The same is true for grasshoppers.

In fact, Sun Gang also saw grasshoppers on the trees in late autumn, that is, nymphs with no molting grasshoppers. He didn't care at the time, but thought it was a certain grasshopper in season. Now he thought about it, that was to be ready for winter.

It can be seen that grasshoppers are not accidental or a problem of individual varieties, but a very normal phenomenon.

The way grasshoppers spend the winter is very special. They molt from autumn and no longer eat them until the grass sprouts in spring.

This is not surprising, because most insects that pass the winter do not eat them, because there is really no food in the cold north. If they want to survive the harsh winter, they must have such an instinct.

The problem is that grasshoppers do not know how to save energy. Not only do they not lie dormant, but they also have almost no difference in flight speed and altitude around the coldest winter solstice in winter.

The grasshoppers that Sun Gang saw were all gray-brown. Of course, this is the best protective color on the mountain after the orangey grass. Another advantage of this color is to absorb sunlight.

It turns out that these grasshoppers are not dormant throughout the winter. As long as the weather is clear, as soon as the sun comes up, they will lie on the sun facing the stones. That posture is like the elderly basking in the countryside in winter. Their bodies are not upright, but are completely relaxed, and their belly is tilted towards the sun, which is very comfortable.

It turns out that these little ones use the sun to replenish energy. The only insects that can enjoy winter in this way are probably grasshoppers.

With such a relaxed posture and such a arrogant flying movement, aren't they afraid of exposing their targets and being attacked by natural enemies in the winter when the grass falls. The answer is not to be afraid. Because at this time, no natural enemies are paying attention to them.

Winter is the time when there are the least birds in the north. At this time, the migratory birds have already flew to the south, and only sparrows, tits, magpies and the like are left here.

The recipes of these birds need to be adjusted continuously with the changes of the season. When the flowers bloom in spring, there are more insects and they also need to feed the birds. At this time, they mainly eat meat.

When the nurturing season comes and when autumn comes, the seeds of the plants are ripe, and they have to change the recipe.

Magpie likes to eat fruits on tall trees, such as dates, locust beans, etc., while sparrows and tits like fruits from herbs, such as millet, sorghum and some weed seeds.

The colder the weather, the more they gather in the villages, one because of the warmth and the other because of the abundant food. Most carnivorous birds are scattered, because they can easily lead to difficulties in predation. On the contrary, when birds fly in groups, they must have a rich source of food as a guarantee.

So although many birds do not leave the north, when winter comes, the grasshopper has actually been quietly removed from the bird's recipes by the Creator.

So when winter comes, you can see the mountains without any traces of birds. "Birds flying across thousands of mountains" is not because it is cold, but because there is not enough food source.
