What are the eighteen eccentrics in Yunnan?

Because of its unique geographical features, special climatic conditions, colorful ethnic customs and peculiar customs, many strange phenomena different from other places have emerged. After the distant tourists and passers-by left this magical land for a short time, the anecdotes they heard and witnessed gradually spread, and they were often labeled as "strange", which led to the spread of "eighteen eccentrics in Yunnan" and "twenty-eight eccentrics in Yunnan". There are many versions of the eighteen eccentrics in Yunnan, some phenomena gradually disappear, some still exist and some terms are exaggerated.

The only "inch track" (72 cm) railway in Yunnan was still in use until the early 1990s, and the speed was even slower. Cars have great advantages in Yunnan transportation. It looks really strange, which can be said to be the strangest of the eighteen eccentrics.

Edit this paragraph about grasshoppers as appetizers.

Some of the eighteen eccentrics in Yunnan are all about food. Although there is not a good dish in Yunnan, it is put on the table for people who come to Yunnan to enjoy the scenery, earn enough face and fill their self-esteem. People who have been to Yunnan have to admit: "There are many interesting places and delicious things in Yunnan." This is not an advertisement. People who have been to Yunnan think so. People in Yunnan are very innovative in diet. They can make ordinary rice into more than ten kinds of snacks, such as bait slices, shredded bait, rice noodles, rice cakes, zongzi, Yuanxiao, rice sausage, steamed rice noodles, rolled rice noodles, bean jelly and rice jelly, which shows the wisdom of Yunnan people in diet. How ingenious and creative they are! It is puzzling that people in Yunnan are particularly fond of eating insects, and they also specialize in eating pests. One of the eighteen eccentrics in Yunnan is "Should we have grasshoppers as a snack?". This grasshopper we often talk about is such an ordinary bug. People here call it "jumping vegetables", which is a good image in old China. One year, there was a locust plague in the north, and locusts flew over and covered the sky. Wherever he went, grass and leaves were swept away, showing the power of locusts. In the northwest of Yunnan, when millet is harvested in autumn, grasshoppers are flying everywhere in the grain fields. Walking on the ridge of the field, there was a "dike click". If you are in a hurry, you can crush several grasshoppers with one foot. At this time, the women cut the millet, caught the grasshopper and stuffed it into their waist. Of course, there are also special ones. You tie a bamboo stick with a net bag and run around the ridge to catch it. It doesn't take much effort to catch a big plastic bag. Therefore, every time we go to Xiaojiezitian in northwest Yunnan, we occasionally sell grasshoppers by the number of bowls, which is beside the point. These women who cut millet take the grasshoppers home, scald them with boiling water, remove their wings and legs and feet, and slowly bake them in a pot until the water dries and turns brown. Together with sesame oil, pepper seasoning and yellow grasshoppers, they will give off an attractive fragrance. That kind of fragrance is indescribable, and there is a faint scent of cereal grass in the crispness. Or fuck a grasshopper, "friends come from afar!" " "At that time, fry a plate, get a couple of small wines, chew and fry grasshoppers, and show deep affection among people. This is the life of a fairy. Silkworm pupa is also a kind of delicious food, which is called "the silkworm in spring will weave until it dies". "When they were young, they threw themselves into cocoons and turned into silkworm chrysalis. When the good cocoon is dried, cooked thoroughly and added with alkali, it is sent to the skilled silkworm girl. When they finished spinning, the golden pupae were rolled out with their skilled hands. Jiangnan people only throw away these advanced nutritious things or feed them to pigs, which is really a waste of resources. People in Yunnan are not that stupid. They put away the silkworm chrysalis and picked up the stiff and shriveled silkworms to make them round and golden. Particularly prominent, it should be regarded as the silkworm chrysalis of spring silkworm. Looking at the golden silkworm chrysalis makes people drool. After baking in the pot, adding oil, salt and seasoning is a good appetizer, especially with a bottle of "Heqing dry wine", a tribute of the old emperor Qianlong, which has a unique flavor. Smart Yunnan people are really masters of turning waste into treasure! It's cheap, delicious and satisfying. The good things in the world are really unique to Yunnan people. Willow leaf worm is also a favorite insect of Yunnan people. The century-old willow tree was eaten by insects and was about to fall down. The old willow was cut down, the willow pipe was split open by an axe, and white and fat insects rolled out from it. Don't underestimate these bugs. Although they killed the willows, they should be punished, but it's a pity to throw them away. Pick them up and bake them carefully in the pot. Before long, oil will flow out of them. No need to add any seasoning. Just put them in your mouth and chew. They are crisp and fragrant. That's a real treat. Flying ants are rare delicacies that Yunnan people seldom eat. From July to August, there were several heavy rains in the mountains. Flying ants with wings have emerged from the ant hole and are flying around the hillside. Their reddish bodies are very fat, and they can't fly high or far. Most of them can only crawl slowly on the wet hillside. Pick them up, remove the wings, put the iron pot on a tripod, put a handful of pine mushrooms, roast the flying ants in the pot, and add some clear salt. It is tender and fragrant, and Empress Dowager Cixi may not have tasted it. Humpty Dumpty, that's a rare delicacy. On that tall chestnut tree or other tall trees, there is a hornet's nest hanging, and an oval hole is opened outside the eccentric hornet's nest. The round door where the bumblebee enters and exits, and the pattern on the surface of the hornet's nest is classical and solemn. Only brave mountain people dare to provoke them. It is said that the wasp's poisonous needle is particularly poisonous. As long as the bull is stabbed three times, it will fall within ten steps. This is incurable. As for people, as long as they are stung for the first half, there is no hope of survival. But there are also brave mountain people who are not afraid of poisonous needles. When it got dark, they came under the tree, lit torches, held a bag of spicy dry cigarettes in their mouths and a snakeskin bag in their hands, climbed up the tall chestnut tree, caught off guard by wasps, put hornets' nests in their pockets, and put strange things in their pockets. When I got off the tree and went home, I took those big wasps alive and put them in wine to make medicinal liquor, because the poison of poisonous needles is a good medicine for rheumatism. Carefully open the hornet's nest, which contains several layers of bee cakes. The wasp is white and fat. This is the hornet's nest. Tender Jiao Jiao, one by one, put it in an iron pot. The taste is unique in Yunnan and the world. The native sea cucumber, also called reptile by local people, is a rare product of Yunnan people. In February and March, the water in the ditch was like a big river and a small river, as written in the preface to the drunken pavilion by Ouyang Xiu, a veteran: "Water falls and stones come out." "In the season, those ditches or rivers have been washed under stones for a winter, and there are nutritious and delicious local sea cucumbers. The name of native sea cucumber is different from that of sea cucumber. He looks a little ugly, and that scary look really looks like a centipede. But they are hidden between clear water and round pebbles. They can only be seen in clear mountain springs or clear rivers. Like people who love cleaning, they are too picky about the environment to be understood. Where there are local sea cucumbers, just open a pebble and you can catch them. Where there is no place, you can rummage through all the pebbles, but there is no trace of them. It is this fatal weakness that makes them on the verge of extinction. Just like this, it eats in a special way. Because of the high price, Yunnan people mix eggs with flour and dress these ugly guys in beautiful gold clothes outside the sea cucumber. On the one hand, it can avoid being difficult to swallow because of its ugly appearance, on the other hand, it can increase the number of guests they entertain and avoid embarrassing the host because of the small number. Of course, it is difficult to swallow, just because people who taste it for the first time feel this way. If you eat it once or twice, the delicious taste will make you want to see it and eat it alive. Indeed, the delicious taste is really wonderful. People who have lived in the countryside are very familiar with this bug. The common name is Tugouzi, or Lalagu, who lives in the soil, has a pair of opposite hands on his head and digs very hard. You must be smart and agile when you catch it, so that you can catch it. Otherwise, in the blink of an eye, they will be buried in the soil and disappear. They specialize in doing bad things and love to bite crops, roots and stems. They are hidden class enemies. Generally, May or June is the transplanting season. As soon as the water is released from the paddy field, crickets that live in the soil all the year round come out. Take a dustpan and roll up your trouser legs, and you will get something at once. Perhaps no one thought that such an ordinary bug could be used to make porridge. Only Yunnan people with creative thinking can put them on the table and turn harm into treasure. Pick them up, blanch them in water, remove feathers and limbs, bake them on a baking tray with chestnut charcoal fire, remove water, add oil and salt, and it will become a very solid appetizer. Never heard of it, right? Stinky beetles are also a good dish. Stinky beetles live in wet crevices or in dark corners between blue bricks. When many people clean up these places, they will crawl out a group of bugs covered with black armor. When they come out, if you accidentally touch them, they will release an indescribable smell. If people with allergic smell are allergic to it, they may even faint or faint. It looks so ugly, and its smelly things are delicious on the dining table in Yunnan. Yunnan people like to let outsiders guess a riddle: "which thing stinks more?" "Most outsiders can't answer accurately. The more smelly the better, the stinky tofu. This stinky beetle also has the style of stinky tofu. The more smelly it is, the better it tastes. There is also a saying in Yunnan: "Does it look good?" On the other hand: "Is it delicious? "This smelly beetle is such a delicious dish. When you catch a smelly beetle, put it in the ash (the ash is made of chestnut wood or chestnut charcoal, and the burnt ash is used by mountain people to cover potatoes, which is especially sweet. ), peel off the shell (in fact, it is covered with the ashes of the mother and son, and the hard shell has become brittle. It will disperse with a gentle pinch. ), the tangy smell will hit immediately, so you don't have to worry about whether you can eat it. At this moment, if you use the most appropriate words to describe it, you must be drooling. Eating spiders is shocking and unprecedented. Because in the martial arts movies, we know that there is a poisonous spider that is very powerful. There is also a man-eating spider in Africa, which puts on a horrible disguise. How dare people in Yunnan eat such horrible things? In fact, what we eat is a spider that grows in rice fields at the same time as grasshoppers. Surprisingly, this spider specializes in eating grasshoppers. In the autumn harvest season, when grasshoppers move in the fields, some spiders like this also move in the rice fields. They laid a tight encirclement, and from time to time, grasshoppers who didn't know the risks caught themselves in the trap. When the spider saw it, it tied up the trapped grasshopper, slowly absorbed the essence of the grasshopper and turned the grasshopper into an empty shell. The locals also said, "One spider, ten grasshoppers. "It means eating a spider that eats grasshoppers is equivalent to eating ten grasshoppers. You must have extraordinary courage to catch and eat spiders. You, like Yang Liwei, have the courage and courage to take risks, because it is really difficult to start with your teeth bared. Catch the spider that eats the grasshopper, remove its hands and feet, fry it in the oil pan, and it will be delicious. Naturally, there is an extraordinary feeling: "The taste is in my heart. "The above are eight kinds of pests that Yunnan people love to eat. When the Bai people in Yunnan celebrate the holidays and do great things, it is inevitable to hold "eight bowls" on the mat. Anyone who has been to Dali may have tasted the "eight bowls" of the Bai people. Anyone with innovative spirit will hold an insect "eight bowls", which is unprecedented! Don't forget to taste these delicious worm feasts when you have the chance! !
