Li Xian's plan is nothing more than to enrich the economic value of locusts.

Before he came, he had already learned through newspapers and other channels that the cause of the locust plague was that the flood had changed the water environment in Shandong Province, and a large number of locust natural enemy populations had been affected by the floods, resulting in a population imbalance.

Without natural predators, locust larvae suddenly have a favorable hatching environment.

So Li Xian's thinking is very simple, just find a natural enemy for the locust.

In this world, aren't people who stand at the top of the food chain the best natural enemies of locusts?

But just by making locusts into a dish, it will certainly not work.

There have been examples of locust eating in Shandong since ancient times, but it is certainly not the mainstream. The preservation and processing of locusts is another big problem, and if you want to implement Li Xian's plan, you need to cooperate in many aspects.

After arranging for the Taishan Association to prepare according to the plan, Li Xian and Zhou Yong went to Jinan City together.

The Huangdao base is still the base camp of New Taipei in Shandong Province, but after Liang Yonghe took over New Taipei Logistics, he felt that it was inconvenient to use Huangdao as the business center, so he rented an office building in Jinan City and set the office of New Taipei Logistics Shandong Branch here.

He needs to meet with Liang Yonghe, discuss some problems in the locust logistics link, and then ventilate his plan with the province, after all, such a big action involves the coordination and cooperation of more than 100 enterprises in the Taishan Chamber of Commerce, and the government does not provide convenience and support, which is unreasonable.

Let's not talk about this for now.

However, it was said that after the Taishan Chamber of Commerce got the notice from Xu Zhenguang and Kong Xing, after receiving Li Xian, "You can just collect it from me, and you will pay for the purchase of locusts first, and when I send a logistics company to come to pick up the goods, it will be settled together, and I will never be in arrears." After the promise, the bewildered members posted notices at the recruitment office in front of their homes.

Later, most of the people who came to the recruitment point to look for work were plagued by locusts at home, and the green crops turned into a red field, and they saw that they could not live this year without a harvest.

These people learned that there were a large number of factories in the city recruiting workers, and in order to earn a living for their families, they ran to the city one after another.

However, in the past two days, each factory has seen that there are more people who have come to apply, and they no longer recruit people, but these victims are full of wrinkles.

Liaocheng, in front of Jin'an Fertilizer Factory.

"What's written on this?

"Hey, that's what I mean, buy a large number of adult locusts, live, two dollars a kilogram! Ah, that's two catties! Remove the wings and remove the head, and blanch them with boiling water...... What? Five dollars a kilogram? Oh my God! Is this really fake?"

As the person who read loudly read out the contents of the notice in public, the boiling crowd immediately exploded!

This collection of chickens and ducks, pigs and dogs, rural people have seen a lot.

But this grasshopper ...... But it's the first time in the world!

However, in these years, the economy and society, when walking on the street in the dark, there are people who dare to stuff a small business card with a photo of a little girl in your hand, and it is understandable to collect grasshoppers.

The key question is the price...... It's too high!

What is the situation in the province now?

The grasshoppers are all over the world, take a net and make a cover net, no other place, standing in the farmland that doesn't have half a catty, you have to have two taels!

This dollar is a pound, this job...... Pretty one!

People don't believe it.

"Really, what's this?"

"Eighty percent is unreliable. If it's true, this money is too easy to earn! Now that grasshoppers are everywhere, I'm afraid that the old man will be able to catch twenty or thirty pounds of hard work in a day? How much does it cost? 100? 200? In this world, there is such a good thing?"

"I think it's the same, maybe the factory doesn't want to recruit workers, just find a way, let us get out!

Listening to the crowd's discussions, Liu Xiangui, the director of the Jin'an Fertilizer Factory, who had just asked the factory workers to post the notice, took the megaphone and stood on the wall of the factory gate.

"Okay, everyone, listen! The notice is absolutely valid, grasshopper cash settlement, how much you receive!"

Hearing this, a man immediately flashed out of the crowd.

"Boss, seriously?"

Seeing that the other party still had suspicion in his eyes, Liu Xiangui smiled, "Fellow, my factory is here, I can't grow legs, and I can't fly." You say I've gotten you, what's interesting?"

The man was stunned for a moment, and then nodded heavily.

"Okay, I'll catch insects now, and I'll deliver them in the afternoon." If I get the money, I'll go home and set up an immortal tablet for you!"

"Hey!" Liu Xiangui waved his hand, "The money, I'll calculate it for you." But fellow, you can listen well, this grasshopper is the president of our Taishan Chamber of Commerce and Li Xian, chairman of the New Taipei Group. Don't make a mistake about the tablet. ”

"Come on, folks, let's go!"

"Catch the grasshopper and cut it!"

……

Xie Jiazhuang.

Wang San'er and Xie Laohan stood in the orchard, watching the locusts dancing wildly in the sky eat away at the fruit trees with fruits and leaves, and their hearts were like knives.

No way!

A few days ago, when they saw the locusts breaking the ground, the two immediately went to the county to buy pesticides and insecticides, and found a helper to carry a medicine pot on their backs to start exterminating insects.

Does the medicine have any effect?

Naturally, there is.

But in the face of millions of locusts, a dozen hand-pushed watering cans is a drop in the bucket.

In fact, in the face of a locust plague of such a scale, even if the military region dispatched a helicopter to spray pesticides, it would not be a big deal, let alone this kind of hand-pressed watering can!

In just a few days of hard work, Xie Laohan lost a lot of weight, and after a few days of medicine, Hei Junjun's face was full of small red cuts - either the skin was broken by the rampaging grasshopper, or he was bitten by the locusts that devoured everything like evil ghosts.

Syllable!

Just as Xie Laohan and Wang Sanyu watched the orchard completely destroyed by a group of robbers and there was no hope of rescue, a grasshopper the size of a little finger called directly to Xie Laohan's face.

"I'm your father!"

Xie Laohan took the grasshopper in his hand and threw it to the ground. Rao didn't get angry like this, and stomped a few more times, breaking the grasshopper's body to pieces.

On the side, the third child of Wang, who was wearing a bee farmer-like gauze hat, was already staring away.

Seeing that the old brother was angry, he weakly pointed to the army of locusts on the ground.

"Brother Xie, don't bother with that effort. You see...... You trample one to death, and these beasts give birth to a litter!"

Xie Laohan looked at Wang Sanzi's fingers, and coaxed him into anger.

At the finger, a group of larvae the size of a bean grain crawled around.

And in that group of larvae, a male grasshopper with a length of three inches, was lying on a wooden grasshopper, with a pair of powerful hind limbs stuck in the soil, the tip of the tail hooked up with the female grasshopper, and the abdomen shrank and shrunk as if no one was stirring.

One minute

Two minutes

Three minutes,

Xie Laohan stared at it for more than ten minutes, and when he saw that the grasshopper seemed to be tirelessly shrugging, he collapsed.

"Eat, eat

Crash.

The extremely desperate Xie Laohan stepped on it and sent a pair of grasshoppers that were at their peak back to the western sky.

Two large grasshoppers were trampled on and popped.

The juice in his body flew out of the distance along the soles of Xie Laohan's cloth shoes.

And on the side of the cloth shoes, another grasshopper couple didn't seem to realize that just now, a pair of the same kind had disappeared.

They were still stirring tirelessly, making a cheerful whisper.

"Lord!"

Just when Xie Laohan and Wang Sanzi wanted to cry without tears, at the bottom of the hillside, the little girl Xie Yifan carried a small basket in her hand and ran over.

"Master! The master in Zhuangzi asked me to come over and tell you, saying that there is a factory in the county town that collects grasshoppers, and it costs a pound!

The little girl is not sensible, she just thinks that catching grasshoppers should be a big fun.

The cheerful children's voice made the humming of the grasshopper's wings in autumn seem to be a little fun.

Xie Laohan and Wang Sanzi glanced at each other, and almost at the same time, ran down the mountain!
