Just in this season, it is the season of abundant ant eggs, it could have been refreshing to eat ant eggs, due to the epidemic, the experts of digging ants are at home, and they can only think of drooling!
The Dai people are recognized as masters of ant picking, they generally use an iron rod and a hoe to get it done, and the place where there is an ant nest is a large field with a slope. As we walked, we banged on the ground with an iron rod to observe the growth of the surrounding plants, such as a place where the grass is very lush, or there is a protruding wrap, or some Chinese herbs growing, which may be an ant nest!
As long as you poke into the ant nest, smell the tip of the shovel, as long as experienced people, relying on smelling, can judge whether there are ants, after confirming that there is no error, use the hoe to start digging deep, dig to a certain extent, the hole will appear ants, dig out the soil layer, the ant nest can be exposed.
The small yellow particles of ant eggs are worker ants, white oval particles, individuals are relatively large, this is the larvae of breeding ants. This three-eat is very sweet, like the taste of walnuts
When picking ant eggs, in order to reproduce later, the ant queen is protected, after picking the ant eggs, carefully put the ant queen back into the nest, he will make another nest in the nearby place, waiting for the next time to pick. When picking ants, there are ants scattered on the grass, but if you pick them up and rinse them with water, you can make dishes to eat.
My favorite thing is to eat cold mixed ant eggs, with, lettuce shredded, water pickles, millet spicy and other spices mixed together, this is a more famous side dish, sour and delicious, compared to the next rice. It can also be used as a seasoning for hand rice noodles, and the taste is sweet and the aftertaste is endless!
