In the anxious waiting, another three days have passed, and the time for the gene chip to calculate the occurrence of the locust plague is a full three days less, Zhao Ruoxin still did not look forward to Li Hongyi's summons, the capital is still peaceful, the crowd passing through, the passing caravans, all in order, all show the prosperity of the capital of this Darong Dynasty, and there is no sign of a diǎndiǎn catastrophe.

The only difference that makes the people in the capital feel is that this year's summer seems to have come much earlier than before, and the dry air has been scorching before noon, at this time the women have stopped going out, the rolling heat wave makes people sweat like rain, and the women under the tulle cover If they walk outside at this time, the sweat wet chest is looming, it is always embarrassing, maybe there will be some gossip.

Knowing that as early as a few days ago began to climb the tree on the squeak non-stop, at noon there will always be children who are happy to use the bamboo circle covered with spider webs to get the knowledge and dragonflies, this is one of the few fun in the summer, get the knowledge and dragonflies, after frying them, is one of the few delicacies on the table.

Zhao Ruoxin is very anxious, there is a feeling of counting the time to live, she has been staying on the bank of the Darong River for the past three days, in this regard, the people in the Qing'an palace have already complained, not only do not come back to rest, but even the food has to be sent to the Darong River, this is a full thirty miles of road, back and forth is sixty miles, even if the fastest horses are sent over, it will take almost an hour to toss back and forth.

The water level of the river has dropped considerably, and the exposed banks are still muddy in the morning. But before the afternoon, it had been torn apart by the sun, and the cracked mud skin seemed to be carefully divided in a large pot.

The locust plague in the wheat field has increased unexpectedly, Zhao Ruoxin turned over a piece of soil again, and the dense insect eggs have grown up I don't know how many times compared to a few days ago, and the wisdom of the predecessors of the 'long-term drought will be locust plague' should indeed be revered.

Xiao Cui stood beside her tirelessly shaking the pu fan, and You Xiaojiang stood behind Xiao Cui and shook the pu fan for her. to the end. Only the tall and sturdy man under this big hat was completely soaked with sweat.

The tenant farmer in the field muttered and cursed not far away: "This ghost God, how long will he still work, and let him not let £dǐng£diǎn£ small £ say, .↖.o≦s_(); Man lives, Made. All the corn seedlings in the field have been drawn. No more rain. This wave of corn seedlings must be scrapped."

"Who's to say it's not, it's all dried up like this, where can corn be grown? Poor Lao Tzu spent a full five hundred copper plates to buy the seeds this year, it's really bad luck for Mad."

The tenant farmers in the wheat fields sweated and cursed, but no matter how much they cursed, they still couldn't get the rain from the world.

The half-grown child stumbled and brought a bowl of water to Zhao Ruoxin, cracked a mouthful of white teeth and said, "Young Master Shao, it's hot, drink saliva"

Zhao Ruoxin turned around and smiled at the child, and was not polite, took the water and drank it with her head up, and said with a smile: "Ergouzi, did you go back and try the method I told you yesterday, do you want me to make you another plate, this fried grasshopper is very delicious."

The half-grown child who was replaced by the second dog flashed a trace of gloom in his eyes, scratched his head and said a little shyly: "I tried it, but I was beaten hard by my father and my mother, the fried grasshoppers are delicious, but my father and mother said, you can't do it all at once, oil is more expensive than food, and the oil at home has to be carefully calculated, my father said, if I take oil to satisfy my appetite, it will break my legs, and my life can't be like this."

"Oh"

Zhao Ruoxin responded, the words of the second dog made her feel a little uncomfortable, before the crossing, every household in that era, who would blame their children for a drop of oil, but here, the simplicity of the people and the pursuit of life made her feel very uncomfortable.

She originally thought that locusts were such a good ingredient, rich in protein, and these days she kept using locusts to cook on the banks of the Darong River, and she did not hesitate to eat them for these people, just to mobilize the people to have a big show of catching insects.

There are many locusts, and if the people of the whole world use it to feed their stomachs, it will not be able to withstand the consumption of the stomachs of the people of the whole world.

However, she did all the calculations, but she still ignored the cost of the people who simply could not afford to use oil to make the locusts into table guests.

Three days of hard work were ruined, and Zhao Ruoxin had to face this disappointing result.

Zhao Ruoxin didn't dare to ask the people to hurry up and collect the grain, because she had already said this thing the day before yesterday, and the result was exactly the same as the result expected by the group of dog officials in the court.

"Childe, what are you kidding, harvesting grain at this time? The wheat is obviously not fully ripe, isn't this our life? This diǎn harvest is not enough to pay the dealer's share, aren't you forcing us to die? ”

This is the answer of the polite people, who have a hot temper, and directly carried the hoe and chased Zhao Ruoxin and the three of them out for several mountain bags before it was finished.

Therefore, Zhao Ruoxin didn't dare to mention the matter of harvesting grain in advance now.

"Hey!"

Zhao Ruoxin sighed and stood up, squinting her eyes at the sun that was already a little westerly, the people who delivered the food in Qing'an Palace's mansion had not come today, and I didn't know if there would be news from the palace today.

It's not a way to stay here all the time, Zhao Ruoxin stepped forward, and Xiaocui and You Xiaojiang immediately followed.

When passing by a tenant farmer, Zhao Ruoxin still asked a little unwillingly: "Uncle, there are more and more locusts in the field, and everyone is unwilling to harvest grain in advance, so aren't they afraid that they will all be fed with locusts?" ”

The tenant farmer replied: "Whatever Childe says, it's the same every year, at this time of year, there will be more locusts than usual, how much can such a small insect eat?"

Obviously, the tenant farmers look down on Zhao Ruoxin, a son who has obviously never farmed, and they look down on him very much in his heart.

After these days, You Xiaojiang and Xiaocui could see what Zhao Ruoxin was worried about, especially when they saw the dense insect eggs in the turned up soil, it seemed that the locust plague was inevitable.

Zhao Ruoxin sighed and walked back, Xiao Cui saw that she was in a bad mood, and whispered: "Young master, Xiao Cui remembers that when you gave us a lecture in Qiushuang County, you said that everything is mutually reinforcing and mutually restrictive, since people eat locusts and people are reluctant to oil, then why not let the people buy some chicks and duck seedlings and put them in the ground, let them eat locusts, when the chickens and ducks are fat and fat, and they can be sold for money, this kind of money-making business, the people will not be unwilling!" ”

Zhao Ruoxin glanced at her and said weakly: "This is the reason, but the people who are reluctant to use even a drop of oil, do you think they will be willing to spend money to buy chicken seedlings and duck seedlings?" ”
