After reading the sandbag, the two walked around again, in the evening, Xiao'er felt hungry, she wanted to repay the authentic Dai family dishes, Shangguan Xuanyi took her to the largest restaurant in the city, now is the time to eat, there are more people in the restaurant, the private room is full, the two can only find a table in the lobby and sit down.

Xiao'er ordered a five-spice roasted Dai carp, fragrant bamboo glutinous rice, as well as sour grilled vegetables and sour bamboo shoots boiled chicken, three dishes and one rice for two people, which was enough.

The dish soon came up, the five-spice roasted Dai carp, the grilled fish, the skin is yellow and the bones are crispy, the meat is tender and the flavor is strong, spicy and delicious, Xiao'er thinks that this dish can be added to the Four Seasons Restaurant.

Fragrant bamboo glutinous rice, in fact, is to use the bamboo tube to bake rice, the bamboo tube rice, the ingredients are precious mushrooms, there is no meat dish, but the fragrance of bamboo and rice, mixed with the sweetness of the mountain treasures, its taste is special, and with the herb stewed eel stewed out of the soup dip and eat, people have endless aftertaste, the index finger is wide open, Xiao'er ate two bamboo tube rice at once.

There are also sauerkraut steaks and boiled chicken with sour bamboo shoots, which are very appetizing dishes.

Shangguan Xuanyi saw that Xiao'er was eating with relish, and kept giving her food.

Dai cuisine is characterized by sour and spicy, light, appetizing, which makes people want to stop, and is very suitable for summer.

The lobby was full of people, but it didn't affect the appetite of the two of them in the slightest.

When the two of them were almost full, a dusty man walked over to the table next to them and sat down.

This person knew the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper personally poured him tea, and the words of the two reached Xiao'er's ears.

"Brother Da Lin, didn't you go north to seek refuge with your brother-in-law, why did you come back so quickly?"

"Alas, don't mention it, as soon as I arrived in Guihe County, I was scared away by those locusts! A large area of black and oppressed, you can be hit in the face by locusts when you walk on the road! Those crops have been gnawed to the dregs! Moreover, I heard that there is a great drought in the north, and many people are going south, why should I go there!"

"It's so serious, those locusts won't come to us, right?" The shopkeeper felt that he would have to go to the rice shop to buy more rice, flour, grain and oil in a while, so as to be prepared.

"I don't know! But I heard in Guihe County that those locusts came from a neighboring county, and I saw that the crops in Guihe County were almost gnawed! Maybe they have eaten all the crops in Guihe County, and they will continue to go south. Let's not talk about the shopkeeper, bring me two dishes, I'm dying of hunger!"

"Okay!" the shopkeeper nodded, he had to hurry up and buy food!

The drought and locust plague are no jokes! I heard that the north is the main grain producing area of our DPRK, and the price of grain will definitely rise in the future!

Xiao'er and Shangguan Xuanyi glanced at each other when they heard this, and then hurriedly finished the rest of the meal and walked out of the inn.

"Brother Shangguan, locust plagues usually occur in major droughts, and the locusts that are crushed by black are already very serious locust plagues, if what that person said is true, Guiyang County is not far from here, maybe those locust plagues will really affect here. ”

"It's not far, only a Xiangtang County apart. Shangguan Xuanyi frowned slightly, why didn't the imperial court know about such a serious disaster earlier.

As soon as the two returned to the inn, Shangguan Xuanyi received a letter from the flying pigeon.

The severe drought in the north, local officials concealed the disaster and did not report it, causing a locust plague, which became more and more intense, and the crops in several counties have already been affected!

This is already a very serious locust plague!

"I remember that I read about the locust plague in your space study, ducks are the natural enemies of locusts, girl, we have to raise more ducks in the space, and then rush to Xiangtang County as soon as possible. Shangguan Xuanyi crumpled the letter with his hand, and he had to find a way to stop the locusts in Xiangyang County to prevent them from continuing southward and causing more disasters to occur.

Xiao'er nodded when she heard this, and she also remembered that ducks were used to fight the locust plague, so she said: "Okay, I also notify the local officials in the neighboring counties, and let the people raise more ducks just in case." ”

Shangguan Xuanyi nodded, he took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, wrote quickly, and then sent the written letter to the flying pigeon.

The two of them rushed to Xiangtang County overnight, they were about half a month's journey away from Xiangyang County, and it would take about seven or eight days to arrive overnight.

Zhao Yong was not there, during this time the carriage was driven by Yang Liu and Yang Liu, each of them drove one, and now they are in a hurry, so they can only drive a carriage, and Yang Liu and Yangmei will drive day and night.

Several people ate in the carriage, and when the willows and bayberry went to the toilet together, Xiao'er changed the horses, but fortunately there was no shortage of horses that looked exactly the same in the space.

Otherwise, if you run for seven days and seven nights day and night, the horse will be crippled if not dead!

The days of rushing like this are actually very hard and hard, especially Yang Liu, who still have to concentrate on driving.

Xiao'er was worried that she was too tired to see Yangmei or Yangliu, so she would take advantage of one of them to fall asleep, click on her sleeping hole, bring her into the space, and let her sleep in the space.

Yang Liu and Yangmei have not had such a day before, and they still feel tired every time they wake up before, but this time, they don't understand how every time they wake up, the whole person is more refreshed and comfortable than usual.

In the bewilderment of Yangliu and Yangmei, Xiangyang County finally arrived.

The people of Xiangyang County had long received a notice from the government that there might be a locust plague, and that it would be impossible to harvest the crops soon after they had just grown seedlings, but the vegetables in the vegetable fields were harvested, no matter how big or small, and no locusts were left behind.

The people have experienced locust plagues, and there are large locust plagues every ten or eight years, and they have no good way to do it, but to watch them eat up all their crops, and leave without food.

Although the army of locusts has not yet suppressed the city, the people here have begun to panic, and the pedestrians on the street look up at the sky from time to time, worried that the black clouds will suddenly overwhelm the city!

Shangguan Xuanyi directly approached the county magistrate of Xiangtang County and asked him to inform the people that if the locusts came, they would put the ducks in the field.

When the county magistrate heard Shangguan Xuanyi's order to let the people release the ducks, although he didn't think so, he didn't dare not listen to King Rui's words!

Soldiers can only be arranged to go to the towns to inform the pavilion chief, and then to the village chief, who then to inform the households.

When the villagers heard that the government had actually let their ducks out of their homes to eat locusts, they all felt that this county order was stupid! The army of locusts was overwhelming the city, and the black pressed a flock of people, and even people had to hide in their houses to avoid them and let the ducks out.

The people privately scolded the county magistrate for being a fool, and the county magistrate listened to the rumors in the market and scolded Shangguan Xuan for being stupid in his heart, causing him to be misunderstood by everyone that he was a fool.

In short, everyone doesn't believe that ducks will eat locusts, even if they really eat them, what can they do if they eat a few, and no one plans to release their ducks at home.

In the evening, the sky was dark in the distance, as if a storm was coming.
