I don't remember much about exactly when I started noticing the first ones.
It was only when a few moths were seen first that I made up my mind - to finish the jar of millet sooner!
Look, they are all growing worms!
But a week went by, and only half of the millet was destroyed.
And the moths in the jar looked more and more,
More horrifyingly,
there were cobwebs inside the jar's plastic mouth,
and the plastic lid, which I seem to have used once last week when I poured the millet out.
I didn't even think that there could be webs in a modern city, or in my windowed home.
Thinking back carefully, this millet did buy quite a long time,
Usually when cooking porridge, the amount is very small,
are prioritized to consume rice peanuts, mung beans and so on.
Because millet is rarely consumed in my hometown, is millet porridge good?
Can you drink it? It's still a big question mark.
Later, when I occasionally go out to eat, I went to a Shaanxi restaurant, and in addition to ordering cold skin and meat buns, the millet porridge, which costs 6 yuan a piece, made me salivate.
After ordering a few times, I felt that millet congee can become a home-cooked meal,
Then I bought a lot of millet storage in the supermarket.
I didn't realize that too much stocking up gave birth to a lot of moths!
Last night I scrambled to take out another big bowl of millet,
and after carefully washing it, I cooked a pot of porridge with sweet potatoes.
This morning, I also brought a big bowl to the office to eat with breakfast,
Perhaps the nutritional value of millet is really higher than other grains;
Or perhaps millet grains, beforehand, with the eggs of moths,
In the right temperature and humidity, rapid breeding of a single adult,
Or perhaps the air in my home is not too
Or maybe the air in my house is not very circulating,
or maybe the other rice, peanuts and mung beans contain a lot of pesticides,
and all these are unknown to me before.
That millet looks like it still has most of the bowl,
aiming to cook it all into porridge seconds before the weekend.
I've only heard of rats in the granary, stealing food;
I didn't realize that there were moths, bugs, and other voracious eaters in the millet jars.
But this thing also tells me:
Don't purchase too many items at a time,
Use up and then go to the supermarket to purchase,
like this wasted part of it, it is really a pity.
Anyway, supermarkets are open 365 days a year,
and you don't have to worry about not having much food left at home.
Even if you wash the millet many times,
the porridge will still have bugs in it,
but it's your own porridge,
so you don't have to worry about it being unhygienic.
When this jar of moths is finished,
I'm going to sterilize that jar thoroughly,
so as not to contaminate the next batch of grains and cereals.
There are all sorts of little tricks in life, and it takes a wise person to keep it under control.
At this point I think of, sprouted potatoes, dried noodles gnawed by rats, and spent fruit peels crawled by cockroaches.
In the past, when I lived with my parents, I had to worry about and deal with everything,
I thought that everything was just a matter of enjoying it,
but I never knew how much effort and hard work was hidden behind it.
Now that I'm living alone,
it's even more important to have the wisdom to take control.
Because of the lack of time and space,
we can only fully utilize all the resources available to rationalize the arrangement.
