What is more likely to eat than Yunnan people is...
Sorry, didn't find it!
The little girl was holding a large honeycomb.
In the city, if we encounter a honeycomb, everyone must shout and shout, avoid it, and then call the police and ask the security personnel to remove it.
In Lao Shan, the wasp is a natural delicacy.
Went to the market and examined all aspects of the wasp cuisine.
Today I share it with you.
The big aunt who specializes in horse honeycombs in the farmer's market.
The five-tiered hive is a whole that belongs to a family of wasps.
People eat horse bees, mainly horse bee pupae, and any white one is an unborn horse bee pupa.
The season for pupae is from June to October, and it's a good time.
See the tender yellow wasp pupae? This is a high-protein-rich delicacy.
The world of horse bees, like bees, is hierarchical and densely divided.
Pick a honeycomb, the more sealed hives the better, that is, the more white huts the better.
This is the state of the honeycomb in nature, so that it can prevent rain, and generally the horse bee will build a nest with the help of a tree.
The current price of the honeycomb is 50 yuan a pound, and the weight of this honeycomb is more than 3 kilograms.
Worker Bee is an excellent architect, not only is each room private and secure, but the columns between each floor are beautiful and have a European charm.
Some of the wasps have come out of their shells.
In the market, there are also those who remove the hive and use forceps to clip the horse bee pupae out and sell it separately, so that the price of young pupae is very high.
In fact, it is cost-effective to pick or buy the overall honeycomb.
It has become an adult wasp, and there are also single sellers, and the price is much cheaper than the white pupae. Adults have feces in their stomachs and need to be squeezed out before cooking.
In the farmers' market, there is another kind of hive, which is the hive of the bees.
Now people do not trust loose honey, and are willing to buy the nest of bees directly and go home to control the honey inside for fidelity.
This is a nest made of ants, more than 2 feet in diameter, and it is also sold in the market, which cannot be eaten, and is an ornamental collection. In Yunnan, there are many eye-opening things.
The main way to cook the horse bee pupae is to fry it. Before frying, blanch the pupae in boiling water to prevent the pupa from bursting in the frying pan.
Very expensive food, usually together with peanuts and rice.
The heat of the fried horse bee pupae is very important, it should be fried golden, crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside.
Small parts such as the wings of the wasp should be sieved and filtered, so that the whole is refreshing and beautiful.
In addition to the wild wasps, the girls also picked wild grapes from the mountains, and the wine was bright red, not to mention how delicious.
