Planting a fairy in ancient times

Chapter 292. 291. Fried Locust
After returning to Zhizhou Yamen from Dawang Village, Zou Zhizhou couldn't help but miss the days when he was the county magistrate in Changzhou County.

Although the officials were small at that time, the people in Changzhou County were obedient!

When Zou Zhizhou informed the villages that they were going to the county government to hold a meeting to let the villages learn how to grow sweet potatoes in Xinghua Village, the Lizhengs in each village did not object at all.

Unlike Lizheng in Dawang Village, he was helpless when he saw the locusts.I only know to bring the villagers to burn incense and kowtow.

Zou Zhizhou heard that Lizheng in several villages near Dawang Village followed the example of Dawang Village and set up incense tables by the fields.

What should we do to make everyone recognize the reality and not "deified" the locusts?

If everyone doesn't kill the locusts, the crops in the field will really be hopeless.

Thinking of this, Zou Zhizhou rubbed his aching forehead, stood up and walked to the door.

"Yuan Gui, is Catcher Chen back yet?" Zou Zhizhou asked after taking a look at Master Yuan who was scribbling outside.

"Dong Weng, Chen Butou only left early this morning, so it stands to reason that he will not be able to return to the Yamen until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest." Master Yuan stood up and said respectfully.

Master Yuan is quick and talented, and was hired by County Magistrate Zou some time ago.

As soon as he entered Zhizhou Yamen, Master Yuan straightened out a lot of affairs and helped Zou Zhizhou a lot.

Chen Qingfeng went back to Xinghua Village.

It wasn't Chen Qingfeng who asked to go back on his own initiative, but was specially sent back by Zou Zhizhou.

At the beginning of the locust plague, Zou Zhizhou thought of the "Master Fairy" in Wutong Mountain.

Zou Zhizhou wants Chen Xiaoyu to ask "Master Fairy" to help protect the people of Pingjiang Mansion, and it is best to drive the locusts out of the territory of Pingjiang Mansion.

As for asking "Master Fairy" to wipe out the locusts, Zou Zhizhou dared not say such a thing.

Although locusts are small, they are living things.

Fairy!Most of them are merciful.Zou Zhizhou was afraid that "Master Fairy" would have the taboo of not killing animals.

"Has it only been half a day since Butou Chen left?" Zou Zhizhou muttered softly.

Why did he feel... as if Chen Qingfeng had been away for many days?

Zou Zhizhou touched his hot forehead with a sad expression.

"Yes, my lord." Master Yuan replied.

Zou Zhizhou waved his hand, signaling Master Yuan to do his own thing.

Zou Zhizhou turned around, returned to the desk and sat down, heaving a long sigh.

No, we can't just wait like this, he wants to go out of the city to have a look.

The matter of the locusts cannot be dragged on any longer. This time, Zou Zhizhou will be tougher and order Li Zheng of Dawang Village to lead people to eliminate the locusts.

Thinking of this, Zou Zhizhou quickly stood up and said, "Yuangui, ask someone to prepare a carriage, and I will go with you to Dawang Village on the outskirts of the city."

"Yes, Lord Zhizhou." Master Yuan hurriedly cleaned up the desk, and hurried out the door.

The villagers in Dawang Village were not friendly to Zou Zhizhou. This time, Master Yuan planned to bring most of the people in the yamen with him to prevent Zou Zhizhou from suffering.

Master Yuan walked to the door and almost bumped into Chen Qingfeng who was coming.

"Huh? Why are you back, Catcher Chen?" Master Yuan exclaimed.

"Master Yuan, is Lord Zhizhou in there? I have something urgent to report." Chen Qingfeng looked anxious.

"Yes, Lord Zhizhou was talking about you, Chen Butou, just now! This is..." Master Yuan turned his body, and only then did he see Chen Daniu behind Chen Qingfeng.

"Master Yuan, this is my father, who came to Zou Zhizhou to report the details of locust extermination." Chen Qingfeng hurriedly introduced.

"Details about the locust extermination?" Master Yuan was about to ask.

"Chen Li is here. Please come inside. If you have something to say, sit down and talk." At this moment, Zou Zhizhou heard the movement outside and came out.

Seeing Chen Daniu and his son, Zou Zhizhou felt a little excited.

With the locust plague at the head, Chen Daniu still has the leisure to run around, which shows that the locust plague in Xinghua Village should not be serious.

Could it be that the fairy made a move?

Thinking of this, Zou Zhizhou looked at Chen Daniu with anticipation in his eyes.

"Mingde took the liberty to come to see you, so it's no wonder that you still want to see Mr. Zhizhou." Chen Daniu cupped his hands at Zou Zhizhou and saluted him.

"Why? I haven't seen Chen Lizheng for a long time. Even if Chen Lizheng doesn't come, I plan to come to Chen Lizheng in two days to talk about the past." Zou Zhizhou leaned sideways and let Chen Daniu in.

Chen Daniu was very upset in his heart.

Zou Zhizhou is kind and down-to-earth.No wonder Chen Daniu thinks of him whenever something good happens.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chen Daniu said: "Master Zhizhou, to be honest, our Xinghua Village has done a good job of exterminating locusts this time, so I am shy to tell Master Zhizhou about our several methods of exterminating locusts this time." The method, I wonder if Master Zhizhou is willing to listen to the old man's nagging?"

"Chen Lizheng, you are really a timely help! I am so excited! Say it quickly." Zou Zhizhou was overjoyed.

How to get rid of locusts!Since Chen Lizheng dared to come up to him and say it, he definitely didn't just talk about it.

"My lord, it's like this..." Chen Daniu from Balabala told Zou Zhizhou all the methods of eradicating locusts in his village in the past few days.

In the past few days, Chen Daniu and his team have used artificial capture of locusts and poultry during the day to practice locust cultivation, and lit a fire at night to attract the locusts to crash into the fire.

As long as the fire is not extinguished, a fire can catch hundreds of catties of locusts in one night!

"Chen Lizheng, you came up with these methods? Alright, alright, after the locust plague is over, I will write a letter to the sage to ask for credit for you, Chen Lizheng." Zou Zhizhou grinned happily from ear to ear.

These methods of Chen Daniu have all been verified. Zou Zhizhou can predict that in the near future, the locusts in Pingjiang Mansion will definitely be wiped out.

"Master Zhizhou, I didn't come up with this method of catching locusts, it was my family Xiaoyu who came up with it. Don't ask me for credit, if you want to ask, please do it for Xiaoyu." Chen Daniu waved his hand and said.

"So it's Miss Xiaoyu! You're worthy of being Master Fairy's disciple." Zou Zhizhou's eyes lit up.

"That's right! My family Xiaoyu is smart. Xiaoyu picked off the wings of the caught locusts and fried them in a frying pan. They were delicious and delicious." When Chen Daniu talked about this, his saliva almost flowed out.

God knows, when Chen Daniu ate fried locusts for the first time, he was trembling in his heart, fearing that his stomach would hurt.

Now talking about his own experience of eating locusts, all of Chen Daniu's original fears turned into pride.

Xiaoyu said that he, Chen Daniu, should be the first person in the Xuanyuan Dynasty to eat locusts!
"Ah? Fried locusts?" Zou Zhizhou was dumbfounded.

"Yes! My Xiaoyu said that there are a lot of eggs in locusts... what are the eggs? Oh, it's protein, and eating it is good for the body. It's more nourishing than eggs!" Chen Daniu said, puffing out his chest. .

The phrase "better than an egg" was not said by Chen Xiaoyu, it was added by Chen Daniu himself.
