"The nearby Tuba Road has acquired locusts!"

This sentence spread everywhere like a plague, and none of the people believed it, this locust is everywhere, and Tubalu actually spent money to buy it, isn't it stupid?

But they couldn't believe the facts, because the working group of the Eighth Route Army actually came down to publicize, and asked the common people to go to the field to catch locusts, scald them to death in boiling water, and then sell them to the Eighth Route Army after drying.

Most people still don't believe it, but those poor people who can't eat can only fight to the death, and now this is their only lifeline, regardless of whether the locusts can be sold for money or not, their next situation is not for them to refuse.

Immediately, some common people took bamboo baskets and rice fields to catch locusts, while other wealthy landlords scoffed at this.

Thinking that this is purely the Eighth Route Army putting on a show, to see how much money they can have to buy locusts, Tu Balu is a group of poor eggs, and they can't even support themselves and have to spend money to win people's hearts, isn't it stupid!

Before, those Tubalu had an accident because they had to fight the local tyrants and divide the fields, but I didn't expect that now there is a more stupid one, and he actually paid to buy locusts.

The movements of all parties are different, and even the devils are a little strange, but they are different from the common people, they still know that locusts have some role, but they will not do it if they take money to buy locusts like this.

As for eating locusts to cure night blindness, devils won't do this kind of thing, their nutrition is quite enough, even if it's not enough, they are too lazy to eat disgusting things like locusts.

The common people really believed it now, because a man in military uniform weighed several sacks of sun-dried locusts in front of them, and then slapped the money on the hands of the common man.

After carefully counting it several times, and after finding that it was really money, the common man was stunned and didn't know what to say.

If they have money, they can buy food, and their family will not have to break every day, in other words, their whole family will be able to live.

"Benefactor!"

The man couldn't help but kneel, his eyes were full of tears, and Gu Tongfang, who had bought the locusts, immediately came over and helped him up, and then said:

"It's a one-shot deal, you sell us locusts, we give you money, it's a normal thing, it's not grateful.

However, you can continue to go to the fields to catch locusts, and our captain said that you will take as much as you want, as long as you do what we say! ”

It is not uncommon for locusts to be used as medicinal herbs, but it is absolutely unimaginable that locusts can be used as food.

The locust plague is comparable to the plague, many people struggle to make ends meet every day, and once the food is damaged, their entire families will be wiped out, and a few people will starve to death.

But now it is unheard of that someone is paying for locusts.

Originally, everyone thought that the Eighth Route Army was just putting on a show, but they didn't expect that they really dared to pay money to buy it, and the acquisition did not mean to stop at all, so that the superiors also noticed this action and specially sent someone to ask Li Feng.

Comrade Li Xiaopang is now catching locusts every day, holding a net pole to catch locusts, and several bamboo baskets are stuffed to the brim, and the food has been available for the past few days.

Nature is indeed fair, giving them less food and more nutritious things.

Throwing away the net pole in his hand and looking at the large number of locusts in front of him, Li Xiaopang drooled again, and the bear on the side also came over stupidly and asked.

"Captain, when are we going to eat?"

This stupid big guy knows how to eat, locusts eat too much is not too good, if they eat like this all the time, their stomach will definitely not be able to stand it, try another day locust powder and flour mixed together to make the dough cake!

Everyone went back with a full load of locusts, and at this time, there was a person sitting in the main hall of Daying Mountain, because this place was a bandit cottage before, so Li Feng specially changed the place where they gathered into the headquarters, I heard that this place used to have a loud name, what is it called Juyi Hall.

Juyitang is a place to share the spoils, and now it is used as a command headquarters, I really don't know what kind of heart he Li Xiaopang has in mind.

Uncle Song on the side sat on the side and didn't speak, his eyes glanced at the commissioner slightly, and his eyes were full of strange expressions.

And at this time, there was a woman sitting on the main seat, if Li Feng was there, he would definitely be able to recognize it, this woman was none other than his elder sister Xiao Wen, and there was a light-hearted girl Xiao Jing sitting next to her!

"Uncle Song, what you told me about this is not true, that little fat man really spent money to buy locusts?"

Uncle Song smiled bitterly, he didn't want this matter to be true, but the facts were there, the captain did let people buy locusts, and now he has sent back a lot of dried locusts, borrowed some grinding discs to grind these locusts into powder, and I heard that the captain will also use it to make bread.

"Team Leader Xiao, this matter is indeed true, but I believe that the captain must have his reasons for doing this, and I have also tasted those locusts, and the taste is really good, I heard the captain say that this locust is also very nutritious, not only do we have to eat it, but we will also develop the soldiers in the army to eat it in the future."

Xiao Wen's abdomen was nauseous, she couldn't bear it and didn't spit it out, Xiao Jing's cheeks on the side were agitating, she hadn't thought about eating locusts, could it be that little fat man a savage?

Forcibly suppressing the tumbling in her stomach, Xiao Wen asked Uncle Song again:

"You ...... Believe him too? ”

"Of course, the captain will never lie to me, I got so much money back last time, and the division commander sent a commendation order, and even if the locusts we bought back this time are useless, at least they have helped the people and laid a solid foundation for our future work."

Because he is the person in charge of this work, Uncle Song knows the difficulty of building a good relationship with the common people, and the common people in this vicinity did not have a good impression of the Eighth Route Army before, of course, this comes from their dislike for the army in their hearts.

If we don't do it at this time, it will be even more difficult to gain the trust of the people in the future.

Now they spend money to get closer to the common people, which can save a lot of trouble in the future, but he still believes in the captain's statement, after all, he has tasted locusts with his own mouth, and the taste is really good, I heard that he will eat it at noon today, thinking of this, his mouth can't help but drool.

"The captain will be back soon, you can ask him yourself later, you two siblings haven't seen each other for months, and this time there must be a lot to say."

I don't want to see that fat man!

This is the inner thoughts of Team Leader Xiao at the moment.
