Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 3094 A wry smile (two more)

She couldn't help stretching out her fingers, stuck a little of the black thing attached to the back of the rice leaf, and looked at it carefully before her eyes, and then, her face changed drastically!

……

"What?" Old Yang was so startled that the tobacco stick in his hand fell to the ground, and the decibel rose sharply.

"Qing'er, what are you talking about? There are locusts growing behind the rice leaves? Qing'er, are you sure? Do you recognize the locusts?" Old Yang asked in a low voice.

Yang Ruoqing nodded very positively: "I'm sure and definitely, it's definitely a locust, but it hasn't grown up yet, it's a young egg."

Old Yang's face changed in shock.

Yang Ruoqing continued: "At first I thought it was a special case, but then I went to other places to search, and I found that there are all the rice in that area!"

Old Yangtou sat on the stool, his mouth shut for a long time in astonishment.

On the side, Yang Huazhou said worriedly: "My God, I was in the county a few days ago, and I heard people say that the Helanzhou area in the north is not only drought, but also disasters!"

"There is no harvest in many places, and all the crops have been eaten up. Many people can't eat, so they go to peel the bark. The trees on a mountain will be stripped, and some people dig Guanyin soil to eat."

"I was lucky at first, and felt that our place is really not bad, there is no drought and no insects."

"Unexpectedly, I still haven't escaped. If it's really a locust, it's really over. Don't count on this season's crops." He said.

Yang Ruoqing sat there without saying a word, frowning, with a serious expression on her face.

This was especially the case with Old Yang, he sighed one after another, and even Mrs. Tan had the same solemn expression on his face.

Ju'er, who was sitting on the sidelines, was a little confused by everyone's reactions.

"Sister Qing'er, what kind of insects are those locusts? They seem scarier than tigers from what you say. Is it really that scary?" Ju'er asked.

Yang Ruoqing looked at Ju'er with a wry smile from the corner of her mouth.

"A single locust is not scary at all. To put it bluntly, it is a kind of bug, a bug that eats crops." Yang Ruoqing said.

"But that thing reproduces so fast, can you imagine tens of thousands of locusts crossing the border, and the sky is filled with darkness, covering the sun?" She asked again.

When locusts cross the border, no grass will grow, and no crops will be left behind.

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, Ju'er seemed to be really imagining that kind of picture, and then her eyes showed panic.

"God, like a bee, it's scary to think about it," she said.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Me too, I feel chills when I see densely packed things, especially those things are specially made to eat rice, after eating, there is no residue left, we can only go hungry."

Ju'er bit her lip nervously.

Then, she turned around and said to Old Yang: "Master, then you should think of a way, you can't let those damn bugs eat our crops!"

Old Yang raised his eyelids and glanced at Ju'er: "If I were a god, I might be able to think of a way."

"Ah?" Ju'er was dumbfounded. Doesn't this mean that there is no way out?

She turned her questioning eyes to Yang Huazhou and Yang Ruoqing again. Yang Huazhou sat there with a sad face, and seemed to be unable to think of any other way except to sigh.

Yang Ruoqing smiled wryly, and said to Ju'er: "This year is not going well. Helanzhou has been dry since years ago, without rain, and then locusts started to plague our side. This is a natural disaster, just like Just like the flood that year, we couldn't stop it with manpower."

If it is a drought or flood, people can still try to find a way to tide over the difficulties.

But this locust?

Let's save it, even if it is in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, you can only consider yourself unlucky when you encounter locusts.

"Qing'er, you have always had the most solutions, can you think of a way to deal with it? We can't just sit and wait for death like this, can we?" Old Yang also made a sound, and his questioning eyes fell on Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing said: "If I could think of a practical way, I would have said it long ago. You must know that my father has planted dozens of acres of rice. When the locust plague comes, no one will lose as much as my father."

These words were true, Lao Yangtou and Yang Huazhou were all silent.

The air in the room was suppressed accordingly.

After a while, Yang Ruoqing suddenly said, "But the Lord is right, we can't just sit and wait for death."

"Even if the algorithm is not practical but something has to be done, um..."

"In many restaurants and places, locusts are also called grasshoppers, and fried grasshoppers are a famous side dish."

"Ah?" Ju'er covered her mouth with panic in her eyes.

"That's worms, can worms eat?" Ju'er asked.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "Grasshopper meat is delicious. After frying, the outer shell is crispy, but the meat inside is smooth and tender. How to put it, it tastes a bit like fried prawns, and it's also very nourishing."

It is rich in protein and amino acid, which was discovered by later research.

Of course, they can't fully understand these things, just tell them simply that this thing can be eaten, it won't kill people, and it tastes good.

Sure enough, upon hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, Ju'er's thoughts came alive.

"Then let's catch locusts and eat them. Since they dare to eat our crops, let's eat them too. Let's see who is better!" Ju'er said.

Yang Huazhou smiled wryly, "The crops eaten by a single locust are definitely not comparable to the number of locusts eaten by a single person. However, there are thousands of locusts passing through the border. The sky is dark, and there is a black sand. Like a storm."

"So many locusts are eating the crops. Before you can catch them and eat them, they have eaten up the crops and gone to eat elsewhere."

"Ah? Is that so?" Ju'er was astonished.

Yang Ruoqing also nodded, "Yes, Uncle Wu is not exaggerating, so eating locusts is just a drop in the bucket, and it is useless at all."

At this moment, Old Yang pulled out the pipe in his mouth, and said, "Let boy Zhi go to the county seat to exchange his third uncle. We're going to call the whole village together to discuss the locust issue. It's a big deal!"

……

Yang Yongzhi ate a bowl of egg fried rice that Zhao Liuer made for him as quickly as possible, and rushed to the county seat to replace Yang Huazhong.

The news of locusts appearing in the crop fields swept across the entire Changping Village like a hurricane in the shortest possible time.

The big guys came to their respective fields to check, only to find that the rice in every household was not spared, but to a lesser extent.

"It doesn't matter whether it's light or shallow. When the locusts come out, they'll eat up everything for you!" By the ridge of the field, everyone was there, all of them couldn't smile anymore, as if they were mourning their concubines!
Then, all kinds of rumors about locusts flooded in.

Everyone spread the word ten to one hundred, making this already powerful thing even more terrifying, as if the devil was about to come and take away not only crops, but also human heads.
