In Sanshui County, many wells have come out of water, and some wells have collapsed directly, and a few wells have not changed, and the drought is still continuing, and it has not been completely solved, just that there is no need to worry that the people will die of thirst due to lack of water.

Cheng Xianling originally wanted to get an immortal shrine for the two masters of Zhangjia Zhuangzi, but it was so bad that Zhuangzi's side opposed it, so he had to keep this matter in mind.

There is such a good thing in the county, and at the same time, the rich people in the family heard that a lot of wells have come out of the water, and they went to take a look, smelled a smell that seemed familiar, and thought it should be firecrackers, so they went to buy hundreds of thousands of sounds, found a dry well and threw it into it to ignite, but there was a short continuous sound inside, and there was no response.

Looking at the smoke wafting out of the well, he was sure that firecrackers could not be used to blow up the well, and then smelled the smell, and felt that it was not the same, so he had to give up.

The wharf that Song Jinggong is in charge of is still in full swing, and it will take late autumn to complete the construction.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, Shannan East Road, Henan Road, Hedong Road, and Guannai Road have different degrees of drought, Guannai Road is slightly worse, Shannan East Road and Henan Road are the most serious, and Hedong Road has also been affected by some, but fortunately, there are several mainstream rivers in Hedong Road and Kannai to important places, and they may be able to hold on until the arrival of the rainy season.

If there is only a drought, Henan Province is really not afraid, the grain harvest is inevitable, but they can lead the Yellow River water in, mainly from the spring, these two places have more locusts than other places, the people did not pay attention at the beginning, there are grasshoppers jumping around every year, and it is not bad this year.

Who knew that with the drought, there were more and more grasshoppers, and some of the big ones even grew to two inches long, and when the wings fanned out, it felt like a chick flying in front of them.

When they saw the locusts eating the crops, the people lit incense burners outside the field and kept bowing down, but none of them said that they were going to catch them or let the poultry of the house eat them.

The people in the state capital not only didn't care, but reported the matter to the top, and asked the emperor to make a temple of locusts here, Li Longji obviously knew the harm of this locust, but it was not easy to take care of it, and the other ministers did not stop it, except for Yao Chong, who jumped up and down, and promised the emperor that he would take responsibility, and followed the threats of other ministers, and finally got a recognition that he did not support or oppose.

Go over there and check the damage, and get rid of the locusts.

At this time, Zhangjia Zhuangzi in Sanshui County also moved, and the grain of 10,000 stone was divided into two parts, one for Xu Si to stop the market and order him to quietly transport it to Henan, and the other for Erniu to find a car to pull, and a car to transport it to the county seat for several miles.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are ready to sit in town in person, go with them to see, it can be regarded as a childhood sweetheart's travel, but they were stopped by the people at home, usually the two of them do something, the family doesn't care, this time they want to go out, but they don't agree anyway, for fear that the two of them will sneak away, and arrange ten people to take turns guarding.

When Cheng County Commander learned the news, he already understood that it was time for him to go out, arrange the affairs in the county, take half of the officials, and prepare to go to those two places to relieve the disaster, in fact, to send food.

The cherry hatched a lot of chicks, all of which were distributed to the farmer to raise, and with more than 6,000 chickens and the ducks and geese of Xiaohong, they also set off in a mighty way, and the 'idlers' in the yard also took out some of them to follow, helping to feed the chickens and pick the eggs.

This time, Cherry and Xiaohong brought enough poultry to eat two days of feed, along the way to pick a place with grass, or a place with many grasshoppers, according to the instructions of the little boy, as long as the eggs are exchanged, and the local people exchange, with money to buy, with cloth and silk exchange, even some Xu Nian's food are exchanged, there are little babies to catch all kinds of insects to feed poultry, also give them eggs.

"Everything depends on Erniu, whether our family can continue to enjoy this treatment, Erniu's response is very important, we have a lot of grasshoppers here, some hide in the mountains, fry grasshoppers to eat, recruit the big cow from the county, let him try to make cakes, and then exchange grasshoppers with the little baby on the Zhuangzi.

This thing is good, high protein, get some salt and pepper out, after it is fried, the two of us will eat it, don't eat the staple food, eat grasshoppers every day, I decided to beat a five-year-old baby when I was three years old. ”

Zhang Xiaobao didn't let him and Wang Juan go there in person because his family didn't let him go there, so he kept holding his breath, waiting for everyone else to leave, and began to come up with ideas.

"Eat every day? Then you can eat it yourself, I won't accompany you, no matter how much protein grasshopper has, it can be compared to rice and white noodles? I don't know how you can be a liar. Wang Juan also wanted to go out to see what the rest of this era was like, but he was locked up at home and was equally depressed.

Zhang Xiaobao has no choice, if he really wants to run out, it will be very easy for him and Wang Juan, but if he runs away, his family will definitely be worried, and he will definitely not do this when he finally has relatives.

Seeing that Wang Juan was not accompanied by eating grasshoppers, he found a compromise method: "Then how do you wrap the grasshoppers in noodles and fry them?" ”

"You're going to compete with grasshoppers? It's better to let them catch more, and then dry the annual powder, make some cakes for the children in the village to eat, supplement the nutrition, and when we grow up, they can become the most loyal guards, and then expand the territory, no, when the wasteland is cleared, the strength of the seedling team will be stronger. ”

Wang Juan has heard about the death of four children in the past few months, and he is a little distressed, there is a Ge family Zhuangzi, who is six years old, but he died of an illness, and his life is too fragile.

In addition to medical reasons, there is also the usual nutritional problems of children, healthy children are also more resistant to disease, usually see some children playing, exercise is enough, but the protein intake is less, grasshoppers are now people do not eat much except for famine, for the beginning, this is a good thing.

Zhang Xiaobao also knew Wang Juan's thoughts, thought about it and said: "It's useless to just eat some grasshoppers, when this time the matter is done, build the school, find a few students who are in the first place, come and teach the children, at that time, the three meals a day are matched, and the children can naturally be healthier."

The grasshopper powder is better to get it out, add our monosodium glutamate, send it to some cake shops, make seasoning for them, and in the cake or other pasta, the taste is absolutely different, you can also add some fish meal to it, MSG or forget it, just add something else. ”

"Providing raw materials is the least cost-effective, it's better to sell it in our own store in Sanshui County, it's not a big deal, just arrange it casually, it seems that before they come back, the two of us are also idle, or think about how to help your father deal with the imperial examination."

"Okay, starting tomorrow, let's find my dad to go outside to see the scenery, you cooperate more, I am not so familiar with many poems, you were exposed to a lot of training when you were a child, and it depends on you in this regard." Zhang Xiaobao wants his father to take the Xiucai exam, and he can hint at some political and economic ideas, but poetry will not work.

"Okay, find your dad out early tomorrow morning to study, and we'll hint at that time." Wang Juan agreed.

******

Cheng Lingxiang, the county magistrate, left that night when Erniu came with so many cars, and he has also been paying attention to the disaster situation in those two places recently, knowing that he will definitely be recognized if he goes now, and his grade will also be mentioned.

Such a large team, from Sanshui County to that side, at least more than half a month, or all the way in a hurry, the cherry and Xiaohong on the other side also urged the team to move quickly, chickens, ducks and geese are not very obedient, especially when encountering water, ducks and geese always want to go in and play.

Fortunately, Xiaohong has a smart goose 'fluffy' here, Xiaohong lets it do whatever it can understand, busy before and after, rushing nearly 10,000 poultry on the road to eat and march, followed by those people in the inner courtyard are busy, the left and right of the team and the back of them have to watch, otherwise it is easy to lose a few, this is all money.

When encountering the fields on both sides of the road, as long as there are grasshoppers, Xiaohong and Cherry will drive these poultry over to eat, and with those meats, the poultry naturally do not look down on the grain, and run around there with their necks lowered, and run here and there, and they can eat all kinds of insects that are driven over, even if the locusts that fly a little lower will be jumped up by the chickens and put them in their mouths.

Half a month later, Cheng County's team arrived first, and it can't be said that they all arrived, those grain trucks were still behind, and Cheng County's order was ready to contact the prime minister first, that is, Prime Minister Yao You.

He already knew the news, the right prime minister also came out of Beijing, and he was about to arrive here, he just waited to see him, and the only thing he was worried about was whether the grain could be delivered in time.

Xiaohong and Cherry were also a little anxious, they were moving slower, and it was good to say that those poultry, one by one, were not too obedient, and they always had to run to a distant place to see, and then follow the team to continue forward.

It's not slow to catch up, and it's still more than ten days to walk from that place, and I don't know if I can see the right prime minister by then.

"Xiaohong, you take the team and go slowly, I have to catch up, otherwise when we get to the place, the people are gone, and we can't go back and explain to the little boy, at least let the person surnamed Yao know that we have made a lot of efforts this time."

As she walked, Cherry was anxious and discussed it with Xiaohong.

Three watches today, seven watches tomorrow.
