Chapter 1561 1568. Jellyfish bites (2)
There are some tricks to roasting rice worms. You have to use bamboo tubes. Bamboo tubes are fire-resistant. Put the bamboo tubes on the fire and roll them. The high temperature inside will roast the worms without burning the bamboo tubes.
In addition, the bamboo tubes have a fresh fragrance. The roasted worms will have the fragrance of bamboo. In addition, it is not easy to burn the worms by stewing through the bamboo tubes.
Ao Muyang rolled the bamboo tubes on the fire. Lu Wuyi ran over and squatted beside him and asked: "Brother-in-law, what are you doing?"
"Guess?"
"I guess you are heating wine? Does bamboo tube wine need to be heated?"
"I guessed wrong. I am making delicious food, but only a little."
"Then will you share it with me?"
"Guess."
"Of course."
"I'll give you a chance, guess again."
Lu Wuyi didn't care what he said, anyway, he would definitely get something to eat.
When Ao Muyang took out the bamboo tube and opened it, the yellow-white rice weevils inside rolled out. Seeing these weevils, Lu Wuyi's face changed immediately: "Brother-in-law Wozhi, do you eat maggots?"
Ao Muyang glared at him and said: "Get lost, this is a rice weevils, good stuff."
Lu Wuyi said: "The maggots are also called rice worms, are they related?"
Old Ao waved his hand and said: "If you don't want to eat it, get lost, don't talk nonsense, this is a rice weevils, a kind of longhorn beetle larvae, do you have an appetite after I said this?"
"No, even less appetite."
The roasted rice weevils are very fragrant, whoever eats it will know, Ao Muyang ate it very happily, and decided to go up the mountain to find insects the next day.
Unfortunately, the Labor Day holiday came, the village became busy, and tourists came in droves, which easily led to contradictions and conflicts. He had to sit in the village committee to preside over the overall situation.
There were more tourists this time because three minke whales came to the sea outside the village. Many people who had been here before came with their children. They used to see one whale, but this time they came to see a group of whales.
There were more tourists and more things to do. Ao Muyang solved several emergencies in the morning and patrolled the village twice, which made him very hungry.
Jiang Xiaoyu was also hungry and ran to buy sheep oil cakes. When Lao Ao found out, he leaned out of the window and shouted, "Sister-in-law, bring me some cakes."
Sheep oil cakes and pickles are a perfect match. He happened to see Ao Xiaoniu, so he asked Ao Xiaoniu to go home and bring him a bowl of pickled evergreen.
When the yellow and fragrant sheep oil cakes were delivered, Lao Ao tore the cakes, stuffed the evergreen with green and red pepper powder into it, and then rolled it into a ball and ate it.
It was soft and fluffy when he took a bite, and then the fragrance of sheep oil and the delicious taste of evergreen were in his mouth. This bite was really a good match.
Ao Muyang is also a food expert. He thinks that many delicious foods come from staple foods. If you only eat dishes without staple foods, there is really nothing delicious.
He ate three pancakes in a row, then burped comfortably, and had a cup of green tea. He felt that life was really wonderful.
However, this wonderful life was only temporary. When it was almost time for lunch, the phone in the office rang. Lao Ao was still wondering if someone wanted to go to dinner with him. As a result, after he picked up the phone, he heard the other party say: "Village chief, please come to the beach quickly. Someone was bitten by a jellyfish."
Bitten by a jellyfish? Lao Ao quickly got up and walked out quickly.
Except for people who have lived by the sea for a long time and fishermen who go out to sea, most people's understanding of jellyfish is jellyfish skin mixed with cabbage heart and jellyfish head mixed with cucumber, which is crispy and delicious.
In fact, they are a major poison in the ocean. A large number of jellyfish are poisonous. Every year, more people are poisoned by jellyfish than by sea snakes.
Although he left in a hurry, Lao Ao was not in a hurry. The branch of the municipal hospital in the village was converted into a sanatorium, but some departments were still preserved, including the internal medicine department, which specializes in dealing with marine poisoning.
When he arrived at the beach, a villager waved to him and took him to the dock in a hurry.
A wooden boat was docked at the dock. A child was crying loudly, and a man and a woman next to him were very anxious and at a loss.
Seeing this scene, the villager said: "Just now, Erzi took tourists out to see sharks in a boat, but he ran into a jellyfish. He didn't pay attention for a while, so the child reached out to touch the jellyfish and was bitten."
Ao Muyang got on the boat, and the man grabbed his arm anxiously and shouted: "Village chief, village chief, what should we do about this? What can we do?"
"Are you angry now?" The villager next to him said bluntly, "When you went out to sea, I told you to watch the child and don't touch anything, what happened?"
Ao Muyang glared at the people around him and said: "Okay, it's happened, it's useless to say these, let me see where he was bitten?"
The child's mother raised the child's hand in her arms. There was a red and swollen patch on the back of her hand. The child cried and wanted to scratch the back of his hand. Fortunately, the child's father knew it and kept holding his son's other hand to prevent him from touching the wound.
The first symptoms of a jellyfish sting are redness, swelling, pain and itching. The subsequent symptoms will become more and more serious, and neurological problems will occur. In severe cases, it may even cause shock and death.
After looking at the wound on the back of his hand, Ao Muyang asked again: "What about the jellyfish that hurt people?"
There are many varieties of jellyfish, and their toxicity is complex, just like venomous snakes. Once stung by a jellyfish, it is just like being bitten by a venomous snake. It is best to catch the jellyfish and let the doctor determine the toxicity and treat it symptomatically.
There is a large jellyfish at the stern. Ao Muyang recognized it at a glance. It is a sand jellyfish, a large jellyfish with strong toxic stinging cells in its tentacles.
Ao Muyang asked: "Have you cleaned it?"
The child's father hurriedly said: "I washed him with sea water..."
Hearing this, Ao Muyang's face darkened: "Who told you to do this? Didn't the boat owner tell you anything?"
The child's father said awkwardly: "He told me to wipe the child with clothes, but the child hurts a lot when touched by clothes, and it will be better to rinse with water."
Ao Muyang didn't know what to say, he could only say that people should be more educated.
Early treatment after jellyfish stings is very important. Fishermen all know that once stung by a jellyfish, they cannot use water or alcohol to clean and wipe the wound, which will stimulate the sac to further release toxins and aggravate the injury.
He said this and then said, "What the captain told you is right. The correct way is to use a dry towel and clothes to wipe the venom and tentacles left on the skin wound. It is normal for the child to cry out in pain!"
The child's father asked, "There is no mucus or tentacles on the back of my baby's hand. It should be okay to rinse with water, right?"
Ao Muyang brought alum over. He poured alum powder into a bottle of mineral water and poured it on the back of the child's hand.
While washing the child's wound, he said, "The venom of the jellyfish exists in the stinging cells. The loss of tentacles does not mean the loss of stinging cells. There are still many cells left in the wound."
Hearing this, the child's mother burst into tears: "Village chief, what will happen to my baby? Is his life in danger?"
When the young woman cried, the child followed and cried loudly, which made Old Ao upset.
He patiently comforted her, "It's not a big problem. It's just the back of the hand that was injured. It's not that the whole body was attacked by the sand jellyfish. I'm now washing him with alum water to neutralize the toxicity."
