These two days the rain has been non-stop, can't help but think of when I was a child, after every heavy rain, the courtyard was gone, the field can always see a black bug, there are two large pliers in front, the body is black, about 4,5 cm long, we locals call him "clip". Its scientific name is "Big Pincer Earth Heavenly Bull". What a domineering name!
This "clamped" black bug is not very good-looking, but it is a rare food that we improved our diet when we were young. The fried clip makes us even more addicted.
After a rainstorm, my sisters and I took bottles and cans to the field to catch clips. The clips were running around the ground, and we had to grasp the clips when the sun didn't come out. Listen to adults say that as long as the sun comes out, the clip will disappear. Therefore, it is better to eat the clip or seize the time. There can be no delay in slacking off. As soon as we worked on the clips of a canned bottle, we took it into our pockets. There are two large pliers in the clip, so be very careful, but the male dolls and female dolls in the countryside, crawling in the mud, even if they are caught in the hand, they will not shout.
Catching the clip is also skilled, first of all, it will distinguish between the "female clip" and the "male clip", the female clip belly is bulging, the action is slow, everyone says that it is "a belly rice" The so-called rice can only be said to be the protein of the mother clip, and the mother clip usually does not catch in our consciousness. Because eating head is not big. The male clip is a big pliers, climbing fast, agile, it is aggressive, catch it to have good eyesight, fast hands and fast eyes, it is delicious meat, tight. Today the fried clip depends on it. These common sense, for the rural babies, have the talent of no teacher, have a unique advantage, have too much practical experience, and the bottles and cans we take are full and return with a full load.
My mother was not disgusted with our catch, but she did not support it, and let it all be made up of us babies, we put the clip we caught back into the basin filled with water, and the clip had a big pliers, and it was difficult to stand out, although it was also fluttering, but we knew that it could not set off a big wave. A few of us quickly picked up the clamp, pulled out the pliers and four legs, ripped off the wings of flight, and the life of the clip was not moving. This process tests the guts, and it is also necessary to quickly get the big pliers down the other legs, wings, and this is nothing. After a while, a full pot of clips is waiting for the oil pot.
We raise the fire, pour a little oil into the wok, put the washed and treated clip in, stir-fry, put some salt on the line, about five minutes or so, the clip skin is yellow and bright color. Basically, you can eat it out of the pot. Although it is called a frying clip, in those years, there was not much oil and water, and we were willing to pour so much oil. Pouring a little oil is a luxury in our eyes, and we are afraid that our mother will tell us to waste oil.
The clip was ready, and several of our sisters scrambled to eat it, and the taste still had a lingering aroma in the teeth, just this simple seasoning, in our hearts, this is a rare opening of meat. The meat is delicious and feels like a rare delicacy in the world. After a while of kung fu, the clip will be eaten. Lick your lips and touch your round little belly, even if you improve your diet. For today's eminent results were all received in the belly, a group of stupid women laughed endlessly in the courtyard.
And that's when it came to a resounding explosion. The fried clip that remains in my memory is still incomparably delicious. Incredibly fragrant. The rain is still raining, and you can't see this big pliers in the city, that distant rural hometown, is there still a clip in the field running around. I think so, but no one is going to catch them anymore.
The lost childhood is gone forever, and only the people, things, and things that remain in the memory become a beautiful eternity!
