Zisheng was busy driving away the locusts that fell on his gauze hat, and when he heard this, he said casually: "You don't want to learn from that kid and let the ducks eat locusts, right?"

"Why not?"

Feng Shanyue smiled, and immediately turned around and walked towards the old lady's house just now. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe old lady was drying her laundry in the yard of her home, while fluttering on the locusts that had fallen on her clothes.

"Old man, excuse me!"

The old lady squinted her presbyopia and looked at the woman in front of her, and she could see by her clothes that she was by no means an ordinary person. She hurriedly said respectfully: "This nobleman, what's the matter with you?"

Feng Shanyue pointed to Ming Zhao and a few people, "We have walked all the way, and we are a little thirsty, and we want to ask you for some water to drink." ”

It's just that the women's family is poor, there is no tea, only water, okay?"

"We were just going to drink a bowl of sweet mountain spring water, thank you so much. ”

The old lady saw that these nobles were very kind, so she invited them to sit down on the stone pier in the courtyard, and then went into the kitchen herself and brought out a few bowls of water.

Feng Shanyue took a sip of the bowl, Ming Zhao and the others also drank it, only Zi Sheng, looking at this earthen bowl with some disgust, was unwilling to stretch out his hand.

When the old lady saw that he had not drunk, she thought that he was embarrassed, so she pushed the water in his direction, "This girl, please drink some water! ”

Girl?Zisheng's eyes widened and he looked at the old lady in disbelief, and then at the others who were holding back a smile. He snorted and lifted his gauze hat, picked up the bowl and took a sip of it.

"Ouch, the old woman is old and dazzled, and she thinks she's a girl, but since she's a son, why do you wear a gauze hat?" the old lady curiously struck up and down to see if he was dressed as a man.

"Hahahaha......" Feng Shanyue couldn't help it, and laughed, "Old man, he's not a girl." This boy is only afraid of locusts, so he wears a gauze hat. ”

The old lady was very surprised, such a big man was actually afraid of locusts, but she didn't dare to say more, for fear of offending these nobles, so she had to smile and not speak.

"Old man, we have come all the way, and we have seen that this locust plague is quite serious!"

"yes, hey, it's not a good year! Who knew there would be a fuss about this this year?"

"That little stone is your grandson, right?"

"Yes, children are not sensible, so they like to go to the fields to join in the fun, and if they don't say that they are going to herd ducks, they really can't do anything about him. ”

"Then after your ducks ate locusts, did anything change?"

"Change?" the old lady thought for a moment, "don't you say that I really don't remember, these days, my little grandson took ducks to eat locusts every day, and the eggs laid in the past few days were very large, and the ducks have also grown a lot fatter." ”

"It seems that eating locusts is good for ducks!"

The old lady nodded, "It's a pity, although every family here raises ducks, they don't raise much, and it's useless to rely on them to eat locusts." ”

"Old man, will you hatch ducklings yourself?"

"Of course it will!" said the old lady with a smug face, "girl, it's not the old woman who said nonsense, I have the best ducks in this village!"

Feng Shanyue nodded, "The old man is amazing!"

One sentence made the old lady happy, Zisheng rolled his eyes beside him, and quietly pulled Ming Zhao, "When are you leaving? Didn't you come down to see the disaster?"

Ming Zhao shook his head, "Don't panic! Shanyue won't do anything for no reason, she chatted with this old lady, there must be her reason." ”

"Hmph, I think it's boring!"

Feng Shanyue and the old lady spoke again before getting up to say goodbye. After coming out, she found that Zisheng had thrown his hat to his attendants, and he was barehead like them, so she asked curiously, "Why don't you wear a hat?"

"Humph!"

Wen Feichen snickered: "I guess I don't want to be called a girl, right?"

Zisheng glared back at him, and walked forward with his head held high.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Aren't you going to check on the disaster?"

Feng Shanyue smiled: "No need, I've already thought of a good way! Let's go back first!"

The next day, the people of the government went to the villages and sounded the gong and announced: "The government has an order, in order to compensate for the losses of the people, the government has decided to buy locusts, and a bag of dried locusts can be exchanged for a liter of sorghum. ”

The villagers were overjoyed when they heard the news, and the locusts that were originally pests could still be exchanged for food, and the locusts all over the mountains and fields were caught, and how much grain they had to exchange for was returned! The enthusiasm for catching locusts became even higher, and even a three-year-old child knew that he had pinched the locusts in his hands, took them home, collected them, and prepared them to be dried and sent to the government to exchange them for food.

After a few days, people began to send dried locusts in exchange for food.

"Miss, what are we doing with these dried locusts?"

"Eat!"

"Huh?" Butterfly Dance hurriedly covered her mouth, "Miss, I'll just eat less in the future, don't let me eat locusts, okay?"

"Hahaha...... Do you want to eat it?" Feng Shanyue shook her head, "You don't have your share if you want to eat it! I want these dried locusts to be eaten by chickens and ducks." ”

"Chickens and ducks, where did we get the chickens and ducks?"

"It's going to be soon. ”

Ming Zhao happened to come over, "Senior sister, Boss Lu from Baifa Grain Store has sent another batch of sorghum over." ”

"Okay, let's let them go into storage, there will definitely be a lot of people coming to exchange food in the next few days. ”

Ming Zhao nodded, "I don't understand a little, there is also grain in the treasury of Ming Yu City, why do you want to go to the Baifa Grain Store to transfer grain?"

Feng Shanyue smiled mysteriously, "After a while, you'll know why I'm doing this!"

After Feng Shanyue made up her mind to use locusts to raise chickens and ducks, she took the token given to her by Yuheng to go to the grain store run by the Dark Star Organization, showed the token, and asked for a large amount of sorghum to come to Yucheng immediately. Without saying a word, Boss Lu of the grain store immediately sent people to the nearby city to transfer grain, and it only took three days for an empty warehouse of the government to fill up.

Ming Zhao nodded, "Senior Brother and Zisheng are staring at the locusts for food, what else do I need to do?"

"Yes, now that the locusts are back, can you please help me send out a notice again, saying that the government buys a large number of chickens and ducklings, as well as eggs, and hires egg hatchers at a high price. ”

"Do you really plan to raise chickens and ducks?" Ming Zhao thought that she was just exchanging locusts for food to help the people in disguise.

"Of course it's true, otherwise wouldn't I have spent all this grain in vain? ”
