It has been three days since the 'locust extermination order' was issued, but the officials and people of Shanyang County have not responded, and no one dares to let go of the hunt and kill, allowing the locust army to approach step by step, eating up the crops in the fields!

This is not surprising, although Xiao Yat smashed the statue of the 'locust god' on the altar, he could not get rid of the gods in people's hearts, and the fear accumulated over thousands of years could not be wiped out overnight.

Moreover, the people also have their own ideas, "Most of the governors dare to smash the idol of the 'Locust God Grandpa', that is because they are the reincarnation of the 'Greedy Wolf Star King', and they have great luck and are invincible, so they are naturally fearless, but we ordinary people can't do it, how dare we offend the locust god sent down by God with the same cheap life as the grassroots?" ”

So the locusts continued to eat, the people continued to cry, the officials did not dare to worship on the surface, but when they returned home, they secretly offered incense and prayed, praying that God would not condemn themselves.

In the face of this situation, Xiao Yi is also very helpless, no matter how big a person's hand is, it can't cover the whole blue sky, officials and people don't dare to do it, he can't go to the field alone to catch locusts, it seems that he has to use some extraordinary means to force them to comply!

After making up his mind, Xiao Yi touched his little black face and sneered, and then ordered: "Gather the officials, scholars, and heroes in Shanyang County, and all those with prestige to come, and the governor of Pontus will set up a banquet in the camp!" ”

The order came out, the entire Shanyang County heard the wind and moved, 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang' treated, who dared not come, it was not possible to come late, in just two days, hundreds of officials and heroes gathered in the camp of the Xuanjia Army, many people came day and night on fast horses, and the bumps were foaming at the mouth, and they did not dare to delay at all, this metropolitan governor even dared to smash the 'locust god', who is not afraid?

"The Governor hurriedly summoned us and others, I don't know what the so-called thing is?" Some people have no bottom in their hearts and begin to inquire about the inside story of this banquet, so as not to commit taboos!

"I don't know, the Metropolitan Governor has always been like a sea, how can we guess!" Everyone shook their heads in unison, the thoughts of 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang' were wild and could not be found!

"Ten ** is for the locust plague, why don't I let the warriors and others donate some money and food to help the victims?"

"Well, it makes sense, it is natural to help the people, and we should be generous!"

…………………………

Those who are smart, think they have guessed one or two, the scale of this locust plague is too large, and there are too many victims who need relief, just relying on the government's little food is definitely not enough, this metropolitan governor has a tight hand, he must want to borrow some money and grain from these big clan households, "Well, how much is appropriate, if it is less, it will definitely not work, then half of it~~"

The heroes have made a small calculation in their hearts, no one dares to say that they don't borrow, they know the means of 'ghost face Xiao Lang', if it is less than half of the food stored at home, it is estimated that even the other half will not be able to keep, how is the Chen family of the 'first gate valve in Xuzhou', it is not uprooted by this metropolitan governor, not to mention that they are the local tyrants of Shanyang County, many people have even made up their minds, after borrowing money and grain, they will tear up the IOU when they go out, and the wind will blow, without a trace, this is the choice of smart people!

"The Metropolitan Governor has an order, please come into the tent for a banquet!" At noon, the Chinese military officer Xiaobin came to give the order, and at the same time looked at everyone with a playful look, as if something fun was about to happen!

Everyone didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly tidied up the clothes on their bodies, and then lined up in a neat queue according to the size of the official position and the level of prestige!

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

In the big tent, Xiao Yi is wearing a three-pronged purple and gold crown, a black flower robe, a lion belt around his waist, and he is sitting upright in a handsome position.

There are not many furnishings in the tent, there are three rows of long seats on each side, and there is a bronze giant tripod in the open space in the middle, which has a weight of five or six hundred catties, and some sharp-eyed people recognize it, "Isn't this the one used to sacrifice the 'locust god grandfather', most of the governors are really good enough to do things, pull the tribute, smash the statues, and even let go of the people's sacrificial bronze tripods, and all the ends are back!"

There is a red charcoal fire burning under the copper tripod, and there is smoke inside, all of which are tumbling up and down to cost oil, seeing this scene, the hearts of the participants can't help but be cold, and the timid ones are a little timid, and their legs are beginning to weaken!

In this era, the emphasis is on 'don't enjoy the five tripod food, then when the five tripod cooking', frying the living, is a kind of deterrent means often used by the superiors, look at the size of this bronze tripod, throw in one or two living people is definitely not a problem, and then think of the reputation of 'ghost face Xiao Lang', killing people like hemp, hard heart like iron, this kind of thing he absolutely went down!

"Woo~~ I don't know if I can get out alive today!"

"Who is this going to bomb? Don't be me, God forbid, blow up others~~"

…………………………………………

Many people secretly calculated in their hearts, looking at the posture of the governor, it is estimated that whoever donates less money and food will still be fried in the ding, "Woo woo...... half of the family property is not good, or donate it, being poor is better than going to the oil pot!" ”

"Everyone, please take a seat, the governor of Pontus has set up a banquet today, just to catch up with the past, and has no other intentions!" Xiao Yi was sharp-minded, and immediately guessed everyone's thoughts, the conscience of heaven and earth, he really didn't want to kill people today!

"No! The Metropolitan Governor is benevolent and unparalleled, and the sea looks up! ”

The mountain shouted the slogans of the people, but they were secretly pouting in their hearts, "Ghost Face Xiao Lang doesn't kill people, unless the sun comes out from the north, turns eight times in the sky, and then falls back from the north, it is absolutely impossible to drop!" ”

"Forget it, ~~ have a feast!" Xiao Yi also knew what his reputation was, and it was useless to explain, so he clapped his hands directly, and 'Fat Liu' rushed in with a group of fire-headed soldiers!

In the year of the catastrophe, it is not suitable for luxury, so the food prepared at the banquet is also very simple, the white rice porridge in the cauldron, steaming with the slightest hint of heat, and a stack of golden meatloaf, oily, looking at it makes you have an appetite!

Everyone came day and night, and waited outside the tent for a long time, and the stomach was already hungry, and now when they saw the steaming food, they naturally would not be polite, and they threw up their cheeks one by one, shook their big molars, and ate a whirlwind, looking at the appearance of devouring the wolf, it was not much worse than the locusts in the field!

Not to mention, the food in the army is really good, let's just say this meatloaf, fragrant and crispy, and chewy, but I don't know what kind of meat is put in it, not cattle, horses, sheep and pigs and other domestic animals, and not like wild game in the mountains, but it's really delicious!

There are also those who are more thoughtful, thinking that it is best not to move the meat that has not been eaten, our Dadu Governor, it is said that he likes to eat human flesh very much, in case of ......, it is safer to drink porridge, it is very good, fragrant and thick, it melts in the mouth, it seems to have some seasonings added to it, fine powder, and more three points of taste, it is a pity not to drink a few bowls!

Seeing everyone eating so happily, Xiao Yi was also very happy, took a piece of meatloaf with his own hands, tasted it carefully, and stretched out his thumb to praise those firehead soldiers, using simple materials to make supreme deliciousness, this is really the ability?

At the banquet, how could there be no wine, and when everyone had eaten almost enough, the soldiers brought the wine from the big urn, and the aroma was overflowing, making people intoxicated!

"How can there be wine without food, come on, bring the 'appetizer' prepared by the governor of Pontus!"

With Xiao Yi's order, two personal soldiers carried up a large bamboo basket, surrounded by sackcloth on the outside, with a lid on it, and the sound of 'Sasha' came from inside, but I don't know what it was?

"Thank you for the wine!"

Everyone's curiosity has also been hooked, in the past, the dishes that served at the banquet were either wild game in the mountains or fresh fish in the water.

Two soldiers carried the bamboo basket to the front of the giant ding, then reached out to take off the cover, everyone's eyes to the inside, suddenly the scalp was numb, the whole body was cold, it turned out that the bamboo basket was full of locusts, dense, enough to have several liters, and the size was fat, was crawling around in the basket, or was alive?

"Locust~~Appetizer~"

"What is the Metropolitan Governor going to do~~ Isn't it ......"

In the frightened eyes of everyone, the two pro-soldiers shook their hands a few times, and the whole basket of locusts fell into the giant ding, and suddenly there was a sound of 'zizi', and then a strong aroma floated out, swinging leisurely, and penetrated into everyone's nostrils!

The boiling oil was extremely hot, and after a few ups and downs in it, the locusts turned golden brown, and the soldiers immediately fished them out with a fence and put them in a large tray, first respectfully served a copy to the handsome case, and then distributed a few in front of everyone who participated in the banquet, and did not forget to say, "Eat it while it's hot, it's fragrant and crispy!" ”

Everyone has seen locusts, but no one has ever eaten them, and at this time, a plate of fried locusts with a complete body and aroma was served, which immediately caused a scream at the banquet!

"The Grand Duke, don't eat this thing~~"

"The locust is a godsend, if you eat it, your intestines will rot, and it will be miserable~"

Looking at Xiao Yi in the handsome position, he neither refuted nor got angry, but reached out and pinched a fat fried locust, threw it directly into his mouth, chewed 'rattling', and then swallowed it with a shake of his neck!

"Heaven gives all things and people to be enjoyed, little locusts, how can Pontus not eat it!" The wind swept away, and a plate was quickly eaten, Xiao Yi was still unsatisfied, and asked 'Fat Liu' to serve a copy!

There are no quotations, and there are not too many big truths, if you want to break the fear of locusts in people's hearts, the best way is to eat with one word~~

"What a god-given insect, what can't be killed, what is the result, isn't it just a delicacy on the table?" After a few more locusts went down, Xiao Yi suddenly patted his forehead, as if he had forgotten something, and then looked at everyone apologetically~~ "I forgot to tell everyone, the meatloaf you ate just now is actually filled with locusts, is it still delicious?" ”

"What? Locust~~Meatloaf~~I~~ vomit! ”

Xiao Yi's words lightly were like a thunderbolt, which slashed into everyone's hearts, splitting the 'three souls and seven spirits' away, some people were stunned, some people knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, and some lay on the table and vomited, not to mention that they had just eaten it, even yesterday's ones were eager to spit it out~~

Of course, there are a few people who are fine, they all feel that the meatloaf tastes wrong, out of caution, they don't dare to eat it, they just drank a little porridge, at this time, looking at those companions who spit yellow water, their hearts can be described as schadenfreude~~

"The! …… You deserve it, let you be greedy, the ancients said: 'Illness comes from the mouth', I feel that this meatloaf is a little wrong, so I didn't move, hehe, you fools don't want to think about it, is the wine banquet of 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang' so delicious, and it doesn't have a few more eyes~~~"

After laughing at those companions, these few 'survivors' found that Xiao Yi in the handsome position was looking at them with a strange look, with pity, forbearance, and a little prank~~

"I forgot to tell you, not only is the meat cake stuffed with locusts, but the rice porridge is also filled with locust powder, which is not only delicious, but also treats 'night blindness', if you want, there are many in the back tent, and each person brings a few catties when he leaves, even if it is a return gift from the governor of Pontus!"

"Gross! ~~ Wow wow! ”

Now it's okay, it's all in one go, those who only drink porridge and don't eat bread also begin to vomit wildly, and their faces are like ashes, and the vomiting is even more miserable, on the contrary, those people in front of them are much better at this time, without him, their hearts are just balanced!

"Why is it that only I ate the locusts, but you didn't eat them, now it's okay, not only have you eaten, but you also eat locust powder, which is equivalent to crushing the locusts given by God and scattering ashes, and we are still intact after eating!"

People are not afraid of bad luck, they are afraid that only one of them is unlucky, now it's okay, everyone has a share in eating locusts, God thunders and carries it together, and the intestines are rotten and die together, even if they are buried together after death, it is no problem to drop~~

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

There is a famous saying, "Spit ~ Spit ~ slowly get used to it!" ”

That's the case in the big tent, after vomiting for a long time, everyone doesn't want to vomit, but feels a little hungry, no way, all the things in the stomach are vomited out, and even the food yesterday is abducted and runaway, it's strange if you're not hungry!

When people are hungry, they are most afraid of seeing others eating, and the people with empty stomachs look at Xiao Yi in the handsome position with a mouthful of locusts and a sip of wine to eat happily, and the depression in their hearts can be imagined, "Why does he eat with a mouth full of oil, but I vomit in the dark?" ”

"it, eating one is death, eating a hundred is also death, can God still use thunder to slash me twice, even if I die, I will be a full ghost!" Thinking about the reason, everyone was no longer afraid in their hearts, and some dared to return to their seats, pick up the locust meatloaf, and serve the locust rice porridge~~ Eat!

In the world, there is nothing big to do except death, if you are not even afraid of death, then there is nothing to be afraid of, everyone who holds the heart of death, eats with a mouth full of oil, and finally pats the stomach, except for feeling almost strangled to death, it is not a big deal, who said that locusts can't be eaten, on the contrary, it's quite delicious!

Chinese are a well-known 'foodie nation', food culture has a long history, the variety of food, the complexity of cooking methods, is also unique in the world, no one will be afraid of the food in the mouth, some will only love and greed, can eat is a blessing!

"Everyone, from today onwards, work together to exterminate the locusts, they eat the crops in the fields, let's eat them, and see who eats whom!" Throwing the last locust into his mouth, Xiao Yi stood up and pointed to the sky with his fingers, representing the 'foodie nation' to wage war against the 'Zerg'!

(The weather is too cold, the fingers are stiff, and the typing is a little slow, forgive me!) ）
