Era: My backyard is the garbage dump of the universe

Chapter 352 There are always more solutions than difficulties

"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Little Nuomi raised his little head and found that something was wrong with Liu Qingsong. He couldn't help but ask with concern while feeling confused.

"I'm fine." Liu Qingsong came back to his senses.

"It's okay, let's go eat some roasted grasshoppers." Little Nuomi took Liu Qingsong's big hand and skipped towards where Yaomei, Xiao Taoqi and other children were.

After arriving.

He pulled Liu Qingsong to sit down and started roasting grasshoppers.

Liu Qingsong couldn't help shaking his head when he saw Wang Ba, Ye Qubing and Jin Yutou eating with gusto across from him.

To him, roasted grasshoppers are not as delicious as he imagined, and eating too much will make him feel like vomiting.

"Hmm?" Liu Qingsong suddenly frowned when he thought of this, and then looked towards the direction of the vegetable garden.

In that direction, there were countless buzzing sounds coming from it.

The source of the buzzing sound is above a patch of emerald green southern bamboo.

The bamboos are crawling with grasshoppers. No, they are locusts to be exact.

The locusts were devouring the leaves of the southern bamboo wantonly. Because there were so many of them, many leaves had been eaten away, leaving the tree bare.

This scene made Liu Qingsong frown.

Little Nuomi on the side was extremely happy. He took a sack and a homemade net bag, and took Xiao Taoqi, Yaomei and Pangdun to catch locusts around Nanzhu.

In just a short while, they caught half a bag of locusts, and then ran back happily to roast them.

Liu Qingsong felt a headache watching this and wanted to persuade the children not to eat too many roasted locusts, but in the end he said nothing and found an excuse to leave.

After leaving, Liu Qingsong went directly to the garbage dump of all worlds and told Alcy and the liquid robot about the locust plague in Dayu City.

After understanding what Liu Qingsong meant, the liquid robot said, "It's a bit difficult to eliminate these locusts, because if you use pesticides, it will definitely hurt crops and villagers by mistake. But if you don't use pesticides, there are so many locusts that it's impossible to completely eliminate them."

"unless……"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a sudden explosion.

"What's going on?" Liu Qingsong exchanged a glance with the liquid robot and then ran out of the Seven Realms Boat and looked in the direction of the explosion.

Seeing that they couldn't see clearly, they quickly called Alcy, Little Fat Tiger, and Bison, and then rode towards the direction of the explosion.

Before I got there, I saw from a distance a lizard-like creature struggling in a fire on a huge garbage dump.

The creature seemed to be seriously injured and became motionless after struggling twice in the fire.

Liu Qingsong was already accustomed to this scene and there was nothing wrong with it.

But Shi Hao, who suddenly appeared, became excited: "Brother, help me catch this lizard, the treasure on it is very powerful!"

"Noble Phantasm?" Arcee was surprised.

The liquid robot was also a little confused.

"Okay!" Liu Qingsong nodded in agreement without asking any more questions.

The reason why he didn't ask was because he had read the book Perfect World and knew what a treasure was.

Seeing that they had reached the edge of the huge garbage dump while talking, Liu Qingsong took out Captain America's shield and blunt force weapons.

Liquid Robot, Arcee, Fat Tiger, and Bison are also ready to fight at any time.

What they didn't expect was that the surrounding boundary markers emitted a dazzling red light, covering the huge garbage dump.

In just a moment, the fire on the huge garbage dump was put out.

This was a normal operation, but an accident happened at this time.

As soon as the fire was extinguished, the lizard-like creature suddenly came to life and fled towards the northwest.

Because Liu Qingsong was close, he could see the fleeing creature clearly this time.

It has three heads, more than a dozen legs, and a tail with sharp barbs. When it swings, it emits flashes of electric light.

But now he was seriously injured. There was a wound on his back that was deep enough to expose the bone, and black blood was constantly oozing out of it.

Wherever the black blood falls, all the garbage will be corroded and even many deep pits will appear.

What does this mean? It means that this lizard-like creature is highly poisonous.

But Shi Hao didn't care about that. He leaped up and blocked its way.

Upon seeing this, Arcee, the liquid robot, the bison, and the little fat tiger quickly spread out to form an encirclement, and gradually approached the lizard-like creature.

The lizard creature sensed the danger and suddenly swung its tail and pounced towards the little fat tiger.

As for Shi Hao, it ignored him.

This shocked Liu Qingsong, and while telling the little fat tiger to be careful, he swung his blunt weapon and chopped at him.

With a clanging sound, Liu Qingsong and the lizard creature both retreated more than ten seconds.

Alcy and Bison were shocked to see this scene. They never thought that the shell of this lizard creature was so hard.

After looking at each other, they were about to attack with all their strength, but Liu Qingsong ordered them all to retreat.

The reason for this is that although the blunt force trauma did not injure the lizard creature, it did cause it to bleed.

Now the lizard creature was seriously injured. If it bleeds more, it will be ground to death.

After Alcy and the liquid robot guessed Liu Qingsong's intention, they quickly moved away from the lizard creature, but the encirclement was still not lifted.

This caused the lizard creature to scream wildly, and not only was the scream piercing, it could also cause people to feel dizzy for a short time.

Seeing this, Liu Qingsong quickly took out a sound blocker and directly blocked the sound of the lizard creature.

After the lizard creature discovered this, it opened its mouth in despair and bit its own tail.

"Oh no! It's going to destroy the treasure." Shi Hao was shocked.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingsong took out the broken knife and controlled it to fly over.

Scratch——

He simply cut off the lizard creature's tail.

The lizard creature lost its tail, and after struggling in pain for a few times, it twitched and died.

"Haha... this treasure is mine." Shi Hao excitedly ran towards the lizard creature's tail and picked it up.

Seeing that it was even more powerful than he had imagined, he turned around and ran towards the Seven Realms Boat.

Alcy: “…”

Liquid robot: “…”

Liu Qingsong also smiled bitterly: "Put away the remains of this creature, and let's go back and continue to discuss how to deal with the locust plague."

Since Shi Hao needs the tail of the lizard creature, just give it to him. He can't use it anyway, and he doesn't know how to use the power of the treasure.

"Okay!" The liquid robot quickly did as it was told.

After he and Alcy put the remains of the lizard creature into the space backpack, he followed Liu Qingsong and walked towards the location of the Seven Realms Boat.

……

Return to the main hall of the Seven Realms Boat.

Seeing that they could not come up with a way to deal with the locust plague in a short time, Liu Qingsong said something to the liquid robot and Alcy and left.

There was no way. It was daytime now and he couldn't stay in the garbage dump of the universe for a long time.

After coming out of the Wanjie garbage dump, Liu Qingsong was sweating from the heat.

Just as I was about to go to the kitchen to get a bottle of Arctic Ocean soda to cool off, Chen Liping appeared with a pair of cigarettes and alcohol.

Chen Liping's eyes were still a little red and swollen, but her complexion had improved a lot, and she had regained her previous coldness: "Um... Brother, thank you for the antidote yesterday."

"Don't call me brother, we are not that close yet." Liu Qingsong replied after hearing that.

"I...I know." Chen Liping smiled awkwardly: "Then you should accept these cigarettes and alcohol, otherwise..."

Before he could finish his words, Liu Qingsong interrupted him impatiently: "I don't drink or smoke, why did you give me cigarettes and alcohol? Take them back quickly. If you really want to thank me, then go back and take care of your dad."

"Oh!" Chen Liping was a little disappointed, but she didn't leave. Instead, she asked hesitantly, "Do you still have the antidote you gave me yesterday?"

"What do you want to do? Has someone been poisoned again?" Liu Qingsong asked.

"No, I just thought your antidote is so useful, so I wanted to get a few more as a backup." Chen Liping whispered what she was thinking: "Don't worry, I won't take the antidote for free, I'll give you money."

"Then how much do you plan to pay for the antidote?" Liu Qingsong asked back, who was so angry that he laughed.

"One yuan a pop, no! Two yuan a pop, I'll take as many as you have." Chen Liping hesitated for a moment and said the price in her mind. This price was already very high for her.

After all, in general large hospitals, a box of medicine only costs a few cents, and medicines that cost a few dollars a box are all imported.

Liu Qingsong knew what Chen Liping was thinking, and he immediately got angry when he heard her words: "Get out of here, go get it from wherever you are! Don't use this little money to insult me."

"No..." Chen Liping cried after being scolded.

Liu Qingsong didn't care and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

For him, staying with a brainless woman like Chen Liping for even one more second would be disrespectful to himself.

Chen Liping had no choice but to go to find Mr. Jiang crying and told him everything that had just happened.

I thought Mr. Jiang would support her and scold Liu Qingsong.

Who would have thought that after realizing what was happening, Old Jiang couldn't help but get mad: "What are you thinking? You want to buy a life-saving antidote for two yuan a pill? Do you think the antidote in Qingsong's hand is cheap cabbage?"

"Let me tell you, if you really want to measure it in terms of money, the antidote that Qingsong gave you and your father last night is worth at least tens of thousands per pill."

"That's right. Even if you gave so much money, Qingsong might not be sold." Nie Bingquan followed.

"No way?" Chen Liping widened her eyes.

A pill of antidote is worth tens of thousands, this...how is this possible.

"Hmph! What can't you do? Think about it, looking around the world, who has such a good antidote? It is priceless in our eyes. If you put a price tag on it, you are insulting it." Nie Bingquan reminded unhappily.

Chen Liping didn't dare to answer.

Because if you think about it carefully, it seems to be true. Some things cannot be measured by money at all.

"You! Don't talk too much in the future. You're going to make me die of anger." After saying this, Old Jiang turned around and went to find Liu Qingsong.

He had to look for it. If Qingsong misunderstood and thought that he was the one who asked Chen Liping to get the antidote, then we would be in big trouble.

……

In the temporary kitchen.

Liu Qingsong was sitting on a bench drinking Arctic Ocean soda.

Xiao Nuomi, Xiao Taoqi, Wang Ba and Jin Yutou were also there, but they didn't drink soda. Instead, they gathered together to cut watermelon and eat it.

Seeing Elder Jiang coming over, Little Nuomi was stunned and handed over the watermelon in his hand: "Grandpa Jiang, this is for you."

"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Old Jiang happily took it, then walked to Liu Qingsong's side and sat down. After eating two bites of watermelon, he said softly, "Just now, Chen Liping told me about asking you to buy the antidote. Don't take it to heart. She is a brainless person."

"Of course I know that." Liu Qingsong smiled and said, "You came here in person for such a small matter. You don't think I suspect that you are the one who ordered this, do you?"

"Yeah." Old Jiang nodded.

"Don't worry too much. In my heart, you are my closest relative now. I will never doubt you because of such a small matter." Liu Qingsong replied softly.

This is the truth.

I'm not trying to flatter you.

"That's good, that's good." Jiang Lao was very pleased and a little happy: "In this case, I won't say much about Chen Liping buying the antidote. I want to ask you now, how do you plan to deal with the locust infestation in the Huaishu production team?"

"I plan to go to the market to buy vegetables and then go find Director Tao to see if he has any solution." Liu Qingsong said what he was thinking: "If he has any solution, I will bring people to deal with these locusts this afternoon."

"What if Tao Yu has no solution?" asked Old Jiang.

"Then I'll find a solution myself!" Liu Qingsong replied with a smile: "In a word, there are definitely more solutions than problems."

"That's right." Old Jiang nodded. After finishing the watermelon in his hand, he said, "Then I won't bother you anymore. Go ahead and do your work."

"Okay!" Liu Qingsong sent Old Jiang out of the kitchen.

After Old Jiang walked away, he said goodbye to Liu Chunhua, drove his sidecar, and took Xiao Nuomi, Yaomei, and Xiao Taoqi to the market to buy vegetables.

As for Ye Xiaoxiao, Wang Ba and Ye Qubing, he did not bring them with him, not because he did not want to, but because the sidecar was too small to accommodate them.

Because it was morning, the market was crowded and bustling with people.

Seeing that the sidecar tricycle couldn't get in at all, Liu Qingsong had to let Xiao Nuomi, Yaomei and Xiao Taoqi get off, and then parked the sidecar tricycle on the grass nearby.

"Uncle, uncle...look, someone is selling grasshoppers!" Little Nuomi happily pulled Liu Qingsong and reminded him.

"And there are people buying it." The youngest sister agreed.

"Really?" Liu Qingsong turned his head to look.

Seeing that there were villagers selling grasshoppers on the street in the market, no! Locusts, my eyes lit up in surprise.

for him.

Just promote the delicacy of roasted grasshoppers.

Or if the fact that selling locusts can make money is publicized, then the locust plague in the entire Dayu City will no longer be a locust plague, but a hot commodity.

However, this plan is somewhat difficult to implement. After all, it is 1979 and many families cannot even afford to eat, so how can they spend money to buy locusts to eat?

Thinking of this, Liu Qingsong put away his thoughts, took Xiao Nuomi, Xiao Taoqi and Yaomei to the market.

On the market streets, all kinds of shouting sounds can be heard one after another, making the market noisy and lively.

Not many people bought locusts, only a few.

But the business is extremely good, and some of the products have been bought up by traffickers.

Judging from the appearance of the dealer, he should be a chef in a restaurant in the city. He must be collecting locusts to cook.

In Dayu City, many restaurants use locusts to cook dishes every summer, and sometimes the supply cannot meet the demand.

The chef bought locusts at this time, and in large quantities. It was obvious that the restaurant had many wealthy diners who wanted to eat locusts.

This made Liu Qingsong more certain that the previous plan was feasible, but he could not carry it out alone and he had to find someone to cooperate with him.

But before that, he bought the vegetables first.

Seeing a stall selling pork in front of them, they immediately walked over with the three little ones.

Pork was not cheap in 1979, but spare ribs and pork shanks were the scraps that no one wanted. No one bought the lean meat either, and only the fat was the object of everyone's competition.

Liu Qingsong smiled at the scene, pointed at a whole rack of ribs and asked, "Boss, how much are these bones?"

"25 cents a pound. You can get less if you want all of it." The man selling pork was a butcher in his forties. When he heard that someone wanted to sell him spare ribs, he immediately broke into an attentive smile.

"How much less can it be?" Liu Qingsong asked.

"I'll give you two cents for all of it," the butcher replied.

"Okay! Give me the pork ribs, I'll take them back to feed my dog." Liu Qingsong said, "By the way! Give me five pounds of pork belly, but don't give me any pork belly! I don't want that."

"Yes, of course." The butcher readily agreed and started weighing the ribs and pork belly for Liu Qingsong.

After it was done, he tied it up with a rice rope and said, "There are 18 pounds of spare ribs in total, 20 cents a pound is 3.6 yuan, and the pork belly is 80 cents, 5 pounds is 4 yuan, so you need to pay 7.5 yuan in total."

"Okay!" Liu Qingsong counted out seven dollars and fifty cents and handed it to the butcher, then picked it up and walked towards the sidecar.

There is no other way. There are about 20 to 30 kilograms in total. It would be very inconvenient to carry it while buying other vegetables.

When the group arrived next to the sidecar, Little Nuomi couldn't help but raise his head and asked, "Uncle, are you really buying the bones and meat for Little Black Kuiqia?"

"Yes! Is there any problem?" Liu Qingsong asked with a smile.

"No problem, but Mom will be angry." Xiao Nuomi reminded.

"Well, eldest sister likes to eat fatty meat the most. She doesn't like to eat bones. If she knew you bought so many bones, she would definitely call you a spendthrift." The youngest sister agreed.

"Hahaha... No, definitely not." Liu Qingsong laughed, "You'll know when we get back. Maybe she'll buy bones to eat every day in the future."

"Really?" Little Nuomi tilted his head.

"Of course it's true." Liu Qingsong replied: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go! Let's go buy groceries."

"Aren't you going to leave anyone to watch over Rourou?" Little Nuomi reminded.

"No need." Liu Qingsong said as he took the lead and walked into the market.

The reason why he was so confident was that his sidecar was transformed by Alcy, and after he left, he would definitely put the ribs and pork belly into the space backpack.
