China is a magical place, because it is too big and too large, so each region actually has its own system, with its own traditions and living habits.

Therefore, in daily life, it is often the east that looks down on the west, and the south who looks down on the north. But all Chinese have another problem, that is, when compatriots are in trouble, they tend to let go of their previous prejudices and empathize with them in their hearts.

To sum up, when others are good, one hundred and eighty are not pleasing to the eye, but they can't see others bad.

The news of the flood in Shandong Province and the locust plague has attracted much attention during this period of time. Although it was a regional disaster, the media across the country followed it up.

Since the beginning of the flood, Yangcheng Evening News has paid attention to the disaster as soon as possible.

However, Yangcheng Evening News is not a local newspaper after all, and it is impossible to follow up the whole process of regional timeliness news like local newspapers. Moreover, the style of Yangcheng Evening News is not a newspaper that pursues timeliness, but aims to be close to the times and life.

After the locust plague, the Yangcheng Evening News only published a tofu block on the front page, and did not choose to join in the excitement when the major newspapers across the country were "dominated" by the locust plague.

From the very beginning, the editorial department has made plans to follow up when the locust plague has developed to the most serious, focusing on presenting the living conditions of the people in Shandong after two consecutive disasters.

October 15th.

Reporter Liu Meimei and two colleagues came to the disaster area.

In fact, a big newspaper like Yangcheng Evening News has offices in various places. However, in order to pursue the perspective of the news, newspapers such as the locust plague often want to focus on digging into in-depth news, and will send special reporters to conduct on-the-spot interviews and publish articles.

"Liu Ji, where do we start?"

Liu Meimei is 27 years old this year, although she is not very old, but with her background in the Department of Journalism of Peking University, her rather hard writing and sharp angle of interpreting news, she is a rookie in Yangcheng Evening News.

The two colleagues brought this time have just entered the editorial department, and this time they came out to see the world with Liu Meimei's experience.

As soon as they got off the train, the two young men took the initiative to surround Liu Meimei.

Liu Meimei was not idle along the way, took out a notepad, looked at the plan she had summarized along the way, and smiled at the two colleagues.

"Let's go to the locust plague first. If nothing else, the disaster area should be the most difficult period now, and we will definitely be able to grasp the most shocking point now!"

Looking at the big sun overhead, Liu Meimei had already begun to fantasize about the picture of the lonely and miserable people, after more than ten days of fighting, dragging their tired bodies and wooden expressions, and confronting the locusts in the sky.

In her mind's eye, she had sketched a picture filled with despair and numbness.

Thinking of such a shocking photo on the front page of the newspaper, Liu Meimei's whole body trembled.

Yes!

The beauty of disaster.

.......

"This ...... This is the disaster area?"

Two hours later.

In Yanggu County, Liaocheng, Liu Meimei and her two colleagues were stunned when they looked at the so-called "most serious locust disaster area at present" in the interview information.

What about numbness and despair?

What about the tired body and wooden expression?

No

What about the plague of locusts!

On this small hillside in front of me, I'm afraid that if there are thousands of people, what is the matter with the grasshoppers chasing them drawing scoops in the air!

Where is this locust plague, this Nima is a man-made plague!

How many locusts can there be in the sky?

Not necessarily!

Liu Meimei is a little skeptical of life.

"Fellow!

Just when Liu Meimei's whole person was in chaos, a colleague beside him pulled an old man over, "Fellow, this is ...... Is it the most serious locust plague in our province?"

"Aang?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the appearance of the three people in front of him, he suddenly understood: "You guys are here for an interview, right?"

"Yes, yes. Fellow, this is my press card, we are reporters from the Yangcheng Evening News, and we have come here to cover the locust plague in our province. ”

"You're late!" The old man's swarthy face bloomed with a flower made of wrinkles, "It's all this time, how can there be a plague of locusts in the mother? Those who were caught two days ago can't be called a plague! If you want to do an interview, then hurry up and take a few more photos of grasshoppers in the sky, if you wait for two more days, I'm afraid you won't even be able to see grasshoppers!"

“......”

Looking at the old man who hurriedly threw down such a sentence and was about to pick up the net to catch the few grasshoppers in the sky, Liu Meimei was speechless for a while.

"Fellow, is it possible, this is the place where there are the most locusts in our province now?"

She came back to her senses and quickly asked.

"Tsk," the old man who had just taken two steps stopped, "no, if you want to say that the wild ones are the most, this is the most." But now there are a lot of grasshoppers in greenhouses, if you are diligent in your legs, go to Liaocheng, there are more miles. ”

Cultivation?

Hearing this word, Liu Meimei doubted life again.

Didn't you say that there would be a plague of locusts?

It's only been a few days?

Why are you still breeding?

Endangered to this extent?

The three of them looked at each other, they couldn't quite understand,

What the hell is going on!

......

Xie Jiazhuang.

Xie Laohan and Wang Sanzi's orchard, which was devastated by grasshoppers, has now changed greatly.

All the green leaves have been eaten away, and they are bare before the late autumn comes, and at a glance, under the pure fruit trees like Guo Donglin or Ge You, rows of double-layer greenhouses have been buckled.

The entire Zhuangzi people were shuttling between hundreds of greenhouses, busily scattering finely chopped vegetable leaves and other food into the greenhouses.

In the first row of greenhouses near the hillside.

Xie Laohan and Wang Sanzi were squatting in the stuffy greenhouse, looking at the pimpling grasshoppers in the greenhouse, with sad faces.

"You said Brother Xie, the temperature in our greenhouse is so high, why are there so many kicks?"

Xie Laohan also frowned, holding the cigarette pouch pole and sipping dryly.

The cigarette pouch pot was not lit - there was no ventilation in the greenhouse, and he was afraid that he would smoke in it and smoke the group of baby bumps in the greenhouse.

"I haven't heard what other experts say, it's the season! They all say that grasshoppers after autumn grasshoppers after autumn, this season, after the male grasshopper and the female grasshopper are matched, the female grasshopper will naturally die when laying eggs. Don't get in the way, I inquired several times, and the experts said that as long as the mating is good, the eggs are laid, and the temperature and humidity in the greenhouse are controlled, we can still ship a batch of goods before November!"

"Really?" Wang Sanzi was surprised and asked.

Now the grasshoppers outside have almost been caught, a few days ago, Lao Xie, who tasted the sweetness from the business of buying the grasshoppers to the New Taipei Group, made up his mind and buckled the greenhouse in the orchard to start artificial breeding of the live grasshoppers.

In the past few days, the news of the hot export business of grasshopper derivative products has been broadcast every day, but behold, the grasshoppers in the wild have been almost caught. Like them, they started to breed grasshoppers, these days is not a family or two,

It's not that these people are thinking about it, and they can see through the hot business of this grasshopper at a glance, and the demand for next year will be huge. However, the locust plague does not happen every year, so the idea of breeding was started.

Instead, a few days ago, the government and the Ministry of Agriculture issued a document to the affected areas, encouraging local governments to take the lead in grasshopper farming.

Now in the entire disaster area, who doesn't know that grasshoppers are more damn expensive than food?

For a time, the trend of grasshopper breeding has risen with the popularity of exporting grasshopper products.

And Xiejiazhuang is the first batch of areas to seize this shareholder wind and respond to the call.

Half a month ago, Xie Laohan, who was still watching grasshoppers grit their teeth and longing for these scourges to kill people, was still very anxious at this time.

Looking at the male grasshopper who was struggling to stir on the female grasshopper, he longed to go up to it himself.

"Work hard, you work hard! Give birth to more seeds, whether our old man can make a fortune in the coming year depends on your efforts!"

When Liu Meimei was led to the greenhouse by the old man in Zhuangzi, the moment she lifted the plastic sheet, she heard the old man in the greenhouse gritting his teeth.
