Chapter 918 (1/2)

On September 24, Han Jianming sent an urgent discount from 800 Li in Yanzhou. There was a locust disaster in Yanzhou.

After Yuxi finished reading it, he looked relaxed. Although both Yanzhou and Linzhou suffered locust disasters, they were not as widespread as Henan and Shanxi, which should be the effect of killing eggs before. Moreover, they killed these locusts in the fastest and shortest time because they had made precautions in advance.

This period of time has been worried about locust disaster, locust disaster really happened, but Yuxi calmed down.

Because Linzhou and Yanzhou are the places with the most severe drought, and also the places with the most prone to locust disaster. Han Jianming offered to come here that day.

Looking at the corpses of locusts piled up in the mountains, Liu Yongnan asked strangely, ”Han adult, why don't you burn these locusts?” If it's burned, it's a complete cure.

Han Jianming said with a smile: ”it's a pity to burn it. These locusts can be used to feed chickens and ducks. It's said that after the chickens and ducks have eaten, they have laid a lot of eggs. ” This locust disaster can be killed in the fastest time, and Liu Yongnan's great help is also obtained.

Liu Yongnan's eyes brightened and said, ”are you telling me the truth?” Before their barracks, they also raised chickens and ducks, whose eggs were for the soldiers to eat. It's just that the drought is too severe and there's no water, so all the poultry have been eaten.

Han Jianming nodded: ”nature is true.”

Liu Yongnan just shook his head and said, ”it's a pity that all the chickens and ducks are gone now. They can only be burned.” Although I think it's a pity, but since it can't be preserved, it's easy to burn it earlier.

Han Jianming said with a smile, ”no, not later. First dry the locusts, then grind them into powder and store them. After raising chickens and ducks and feeding them, they can lay more eggs as well. ”

Liu Yongnan doubted: ”really?”

Han Jianming smiled and shook his head. ”I'm not sure. It's what doctor Bai said. He said it was fried and delicious. Otherwise, let's have a taste today. ”

Liu Yongnan laughs: ”Han adults have this interest, Liu naturally accompanies.” In those days, they grabbed the snakes and insects on the grass and ate them raw. Now they fry them. It's too luxurious.

Han Jianming said: ”today we are also extravagant once.” Because of the drought, Yunqing and Yuxi husband and wife reduced their meals to two dishes and one soup. The following officials are very thrifty to hear about it. Nowadays, driven by Yunqing and Yuxi, the atmosphere in the northwest is very good. Han Jianming went to Yanzhou this month, every meal is a dish a soup, and most of them are vegetables.

During the meal, Liu Yongnan also entertained Han Jianming with his liquor.

Han Jianming shook his head and said, ”it's a critical moment now. I dare not drink. Let's keep the wine. When I've dealt with the locusts, our brothers will get drunk again. ” He didn't dare to slack off for half a moment.

Liu Yongnan said happily, ”OK, I'll keep this wine for you. When the matter is finished, let's have a drink. ” Locust disaster is of great importance. If there is a mistake due to his reasons, he can't bear the responsibility at that time.

The cook brought up the fried locust. Liu Yongnan said with a smile, ”it should be nice to look like this.” Then he put one in his mouth. After eating, he nodded, ”it's fragrant and crispy. It's delicious.” It's very bad when eating raw. I didn't expect it to be so delicious when fried. Liu Yongnan decided to fry a plate every other time.

To catch locusts, we should not only rely on officers and soldiers, but also rely on the people. The common people are not doing white work either. They exchange ten catties of locusts for one catty of potato. Once such conditions are met, the people are still very positive. Of course, when locusts appear, it's not enough to kill them. It's also necessary to check whether they have laid eggs where they pass. If you lay eggs, you must get rid of them. Otherwise, you will have endless troubles. It takes a lot of energy to do these things.

Yun Qing heard Han Jianming say that the fried locusts taste very delicious, and Yu Xi said: ”at noon we also fry a plate to try.”

Yuxi looks disgusted, but she doesn't refuse. She says, ”if you want to eat it, let the cook in the front yard fry it!” It's too hard for white mother to cook this dish.

At noon, there was an extra plate of golden food on the table. As soon as I saw the date, I immediately got one. After eating, he was full of praise and said to Liu Er, ”sister, this is delicious. You can have a try.”

Liu'er looks disgusted and asks Yuxi: ”Niang, what is this? How does it look like a bug? ” Look at this thing. She has no appetite.

Yu Xi was worried that Liu Er would vomit when he knew it was a locust, so he said, ”if you don't like it, don't eat it.” She can't eat it either! She didn't stop Yunqing and let this thing appear on the table. She just wanted to send a signal to the outside world that locusts can eat and taste good. If we eat locusts, the harm of locusts will be reduced.

That night, Yuxi received Fu Mingming's fold. Fu Mingming said in the origami that there was a locust disaster in Jinzhou, but because of the small number, they soon killed it. In addition, Fu Mingming also said in the fold that locusts do not eat mulberry trees, and the mulberry trees planted before are intact.

Yuxi put down the fold and said in a low voice, ”it's hard to find anything that locusts don't eat.”
