"A cold noodle set. ”

Pei Shuo chose a corner to sit down and ordered food without looking at the water sign, although he didn't come here for a while, he knew everything about the water sign in Sun Niang's foot shop.

"Pei Gongzi, I haven't seen you for a long time. Li Gang wiped the table diligently, shouted at the kitchen to announce the name of the dish, and then talked to Pei Shuo.

Pei Shuo smiled and nodded, but did not say anything.

The cold noodles were served.

Mix the dough with spinach juice and dye the dough green. The dough is stretched, twisted into twists, and the dough is constantly stretched repeatedly, in this process, the length of the noodles is increasing, with toughness, just relying on a pair of hands to control the thickness of the noodles, boil in the pot, cool water, with fried radish sauce, refreshing bean sprouts, crisp cucumber shreds, seasonal vegetables, dried beans, marinated eggs, mix the noodles well, the noodles with a strong flavor of fried radish sauce, a chopstick between the meat grains, The shredded bean sprouts and cucumbers are full of flavor, and finally served with a soup that changes every day to cool off the heat, which is also a spice for foodies who have eaten sweet and sour cherry meat and hibiscus chicken slices for a long time.

Pei Shuo mixed the cold noodles well, picked them up one by one, chewed them slowly, and the street shop also tasted the feeling of an important banquet.

His way of eating is in stark contrast to the big bowls of wine and meat around him, and the peddlers and pawns who talk and laugh, there is an invisible barrier between them, Pei Shuo's loneliness and posture can't affect them, and their circle can't spread to Pei Shuo.

"If Pei Gongzi is put in the window, it is estimated that a large number of female dependents in our store will break through the threshold. Li Gang touched Li Rou on the shoulder, she was dumbfounded, "Wake up, it's dark." ”

Li Rou, who was awakened, slapped him with a pink fist: "If you have the ability, you can ask Pei Gongzi to sit by the window." ”

"Don't dare, Pei Gongzi must be waiting for Sister Yaozhu to send her home. Before he came to send Ah Yao back, they were commonplace, Li Gang thought of Li Rou's envious expression, thought of a possibility, and said: "Li Rou, let me tell you, you must not compare Pei Gongzi with a husband, then you will not be able to marry!"

Li Rou glared at him, "I just need to find a husband who can lower you." ”

Go back and tell Ah Yao that Pei Shuo is coming.

Pei Shuo is here?

Ah Yao was stunned, packed up the work on her hands, washed her hands, and cut her hair before going out to meet people.

"A-Yao. He wiped his mouth with a towel, obviously after eating, Yu Guang noticed Ah Yao coming out, and in an instant, his eyes softened, and thousands of stars were in his eyes. "Let's go. ”

"Hostess, let's go first. ”

It was already time to close, Ah Yao said to Sun Niang, and went out with Pei Shuo.

Pei Shuo usually wouldn't call her to go with her so early, it was estimated that there was something, she just guessed casually, and he nodded in agreement: "Well, there are some things that I can't get an idea of, but it's not an important thing, you just think about it." ”

"Ah......h

Pei Shuo stopped and asked, "What will you do if the locust plague comes?"

Locusts.

If the locust plague comes, it will inevitably cover the sky and the sun, and the locust army will not grow a single inch of grass wherever it goes, and if there is nothing to eat after eating, even his own companions will be eaten by the ruthless, and in the face of the huge locust swarm, the power of the individual will become insignificant.

Pei Shuo asked about this kind of thing, and A-Yao was anxious: "Is it ......?"

Shh

Don't ask.

Pei Shuo shook his head at her.

"You have to be careful. Ah Yao said, he nodded, and urged her to answer: "If the locust plague comes, the capital will not be affected, and the fields on the outskirts of the city will suffer." ”

With that, they returned to Ah Yao's house, Pei Shuo sat down in the courtyard, and Ah Yao went to the kitchen to prepare tea for him, as well as a small plate of walnut kernel tea.

In her own home, Ah Yao speaks freely.

"The locust plague is really big, are you going to hunt locusts?"

"According to past experience, the association formed a group of 10 people to set up nets to catch locusts, and I think that the previous practice was not very effective in the locust plague, either thousands of white birds suddenly pounced on the locusts, or the locusts migrated until the area was plagued by locusts and there was no place to harm them. But the locust plague will happen again in the place where the locusts plague is infested. ”

"Locust control ......," A-Yao vaguely remembered that she had seen, "After spring plowing and autumn harvest, plough over, oxen, sheep, or something trample the soil firmly, and the locust eggs should be able to be trampled off." ”

Farmers use the method of digging locust eggs. If this is not done, the locust eggs will be in the soil, and two or three batches of locusts will be born a year, and the economy of the local village will be easily dragged down.

However, what Pei Shuo wants should be how to catch locusts, and the prevention and control must be done by farmers who have been dealing with the land for many years.

She thought for a moment: "The locusts fly in one direction, they are very mobile, they can't chase after them, they have to fight head-on, and even if the locusts in front of them die." The back has to fly with it, and if you die, you have to die a piece. ”

"As long as you hit head-on, the effect will be followed well. Pei Shuo muttered.

"But it's definitely more dangerous than tailgating, and locusts can attack people, even children, which is terrible. ”

Pei Shuo: "Don't be afraid, you are in the capital, and the locusts will not run in." ”

A-Yao held her cheeks, "You said that it would be nice if the locusts were like moths, and they would make a fire, and they would take the initiative to pounce on it...... Wow......"

Suddenly gluttonous.

Pei Shuo was helpless: "What did you think of?"

"Delicious. Locust legs are wrapped in flour and fried, or skewered in a skewer and grilled, sprinkled with salt, and crunchy. ”

It was so delicious that the children next door were crying.

"You just want to eat. ”

"I'm a cook!"

"But can you really eat it?"

Seeing Pei Shuo's suspicious eyes, Ah Yao snorted, there are insects in many places, such as fried cicada pupa, sheep scorpions, bee pupa, or the darker barbecue - the original skewered green worms.

Locusts are also insects, and when I read the information, I said that the locust legs are slightly fleshier than other parts, and they taste good, but let alone eating, she doesn't even know what locusts look like.

Fire, fire......

Pei Shuo thought about the feasibility of burning bonfires in many places in the field at night, and the more he thought about it, the more he could try.

"Also, chickens, ducks and geese eat insects, locusts are also insects, maybe they can raise chickens, ducks and geese to be fat and strong, boil chicken fat, make fat chicken mushrooms, hehehe~"

Anyway, Ah Yao thought of eating.

The osmanthus tree sheds its leaves, spinning and sliding on the edge of the stone table, and it can't fall off.

"Yes, there is a big temperature difference between morning and evening, and the dew is stained with clothes, so don't worry about cold. Ah Yao pinched the leaf and turned it around, reminding.

Dew?

Pei Shuo looked at Ah Yao playing with the leaves in his hand, his eyes were sharp, the dew was heavy in the morning, and the leaves were hung with dew, and the same was true for insects.

He had seen butterflies that were wet with dew and couldn't fly, so they could only fly low, and finally he pinched their wings and grabbed them, that ...... Could it be the same with locusts?

During the day, a column of ten people was held with nets to capture, and a vanguard team was divided, wearing a beekeeper's mask, and facing the attack in front.

Set up a bonfire in the evening, light it before the sun sets, recuperate, and set off again in the morning.

When the number of locusts decreases, organize the people to plough and then graze chickens and ducks.

A series of plans, a trip in his mind.

But before that, he dispelled his suspicions about A-Yao.
