Chapter 601: Natural Disaster
Dawu City is said to be a city, but it has no walls.
But now Dawu City is incredible, not to mention becoming an important military town in Jingzhou, it has also driven the economy, and it has a population of 760,000. This city is the place where it docks with Xinyang City, an important city in the north.
Hearing that Yang Xi came to Dawu City to check the disaster, Cao Zhi hurriedly went south from Xinyang City to Dawu, and Yang Xiu, the governor of Yiyang County, also arrived with Cao Zhi.
Since it was in Dawu, Huang Zu, the helmsman of the Huang Group in Anlucheng, who was not far away, naturally wanted to come, so he gathered together again.
In the afternoon, many local celebrities and media around Dawu City responded to the event, and there were seven or eight hundred people.
Yang Xi ordered people to concentrate on the barbecue tools in the city and hold a banquet in the largest hotel in Dawu City, Chenhe Hotel.
Today's banquet has only one ingredient, that is, locusts, which are fried, grilled and stir-fried with chili peppers.
As for the wine, it is white wine, red wine and beer.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Xi entered the banquet venue, and the host was Huang Jie, the governor of Jiangxia.
Huang Jie first preached the nutritional value of locusts that Yang Xi said, and then announced the first dish.
The first dish is the barbecue locusts.
The barbecue locusts are to remove the legs and wings of the locusts, and string them with bamboo skewers, and on a bamboo skewer, there are eight locusts on the strings, which are brown and oily.
One hundred and twenty tables were full of people, and plates of barbecue locusts came up, and some people were scared stupid, where did they dare to eat.
In particular, some women in the media simply don't dare to look at it directly.
Yang Xi knew that it was his turn to play, and someone had to be the first to eat the crab.
Yang Xi carried a plate of barbecue locusts, walked to the stage, picked up a string, and under the recording of the magnesium light and the camera, he took a bite of the next one, and began to chew it.
"Well, everyone, this taste is guaranteed to be delicious, pure game, hygienic, environmentally friendly, absolutely not inferior to the sea shrimp, and there is a different taste, everyone try it!"
When Yang Xi finished saying this, he had already eaten four, which had not stopped, and after he finished eating the string, he actually started work left and right, took a string in one hand, and continued to stroke.
Huang Jie and Cao Zhi saw that they couldn't let Yang Xi fight alone, so they also grabbed a plate and began to chew.
Huang Jie and Cao Zhi didn't expect that this locust was really so delicious, and Yang Xi didn't fake it at all.
Yang Xi picked up a glass of red wine and said: "Everyone, don't do it yet, eat today's meal, in the future, there will be no free." ”
The second batch joined, but it was Huang Zu, Yang Xiu, Wang Guo and others, several people ate well, and finally some people began to follow the trend, so they started one after another, and the sound of chirping in the hall was endless.
Finally some people began to praise it, but there were also people who were not used to eating, and after eating one or two strings, they stopped doing it.
The next frying and stir-frying naturally have their own flavors and have won a lot of praise.
This scene was recorded from beginning to end, and the next day, Chenhe TV and radio stations reported it vigorously.
The news quickly spread throughout the country, and all the six affected areas took action and began to hunt locusts in a big way.
Yang Xi reported various hunting methods, the most large-scale is to use barbed wire to fish in a large area.
Yang Xi also passed on the method of making canned locusts, but Huang Zu was extremely interested in this, so he hurriedly called back to Anlu and ordered the head of the old father's chili sauce jar to be established immediately, and the old father's canned locusts were named.
Huang Zu organized dozens of people to disperse to the six disaster areas, purchased a large number of locusts from the locals in the disaster areas, and quickly transported them back to his hot sauce factory in Xiling County, where the locusts were canned and sent to all parts of the country.
A month later, locust food has become a popular food, moved to the table of various places, Shanghai City, Hong Kong City, Donglai City, Chenhe City, and even the north of Daxianbei City, Liaohe City, Black Dragon City, also a large number of purchases, for a time, the six major disaster areas, the victims, even a large fortune.
And this plague of locusts will not end in a month or two, because the locusts multiply too quickly.
What makes Yang Xi strange is that in this wave of locust fishing, hundreds of thousands of people across the country should take action to participate in this matter, and this locust plague has not faded, and there is a trend of expansion.
In October, the weather in the north gradually became colder, but the plague of locusts did not subside, but turned to other places. The locusts of Changsha County moved eastward to Xiapheasant County, Chenhe County. And the plague of locusts in Dawu has expanded to Anlu and Lingling.
In several other places, the locust plague has not disappeared.
Now Yang Xi was puzzled.
However, Yang Xi is not worried, he is afraid of rumors, locusts can be eaten, and they can exchange for other food for the disaster area, and the legend of the locust god is self-defeating.
When it comes to grain reserves, Chenhe is not afraid.
But the following October, there was a new situation.
Fires broke out in various places.
It's not an ordinary fire, it's a forest fire.
First of all, the forest fire in Jiuzhi Mountain, which burned for seven days, Yang Xi ordered the 100,000 troops in the Jingnan Theater, plus tens of thousands of local organizations in Lingling County, to extinguish the fire.
The fire burned half of the mountain, the mountains became charcoal, and more than 400 people were missing.
A fire can be attributed to an accident, but at the end of October, Dabie Shandong, Huoshan fire broke out again, Yang Xi urgently ordered Cai Kao to lead the army to put out the fire, Lujiang County Governor Lu Jun urgently transferred police forces from all over the country, more than 200,000 people, but failed to extinguish the mountain fire.
The fire burned the entire Huoshan Mountain, and the world was scorched black for hundreds of miles.
So a message came from the north, saying that there was a locust plague in front of Yanchen River Country and a fire in the back, which was a divine punishment from heaven.
This is indeed a divine punishment from heaven.
Wuyi Mountain, Huiji County, several figures in the mountain were talking about something at this time, and after a while, Wuyi Mountain caused an autumn fire.
In October, the mountains and forests are dry, and the firewood and grass are flammable, which has the natural advantage of arson, and the fire comes out of the mountains, and all kinds of poisonous insects and beasts cannot be avoided at all, because it is too sudden.
A figure was walking on the ground like a fire, this figure was wearing a long robe, and the fire was even worse wherever it passed.
Almost at the same time as the Wuyi Mountain fire, it was the northern part of Savage Mountain in Yunnan County, and the part of Savage Mountain in Yongchang County was formerly raised.
Since Yang Xi removed the counties of Shuzhong in the south of Yizhou and returned to Yunnan County, after Meng was appointed governor, Yunnan County was thriving. With the Savage Mountains leading to Myanmar County and Indian State, Yunnan County has become an important land transportation area, and the economy can be said to be booming.
Meng Huo didn't expect that such a major event would happen in his own jurisdiction.
The fire burned for three days, and the commander Ji Ling led the army to arrive as soon as possible, but the terrain of Savage Mountain was treacherous, where could the fire be extinguished.
Yi people believe in gods, the variety is strange, the mountains have mountain gods, the water has water gods, and the fire naturally has fire gods.
The people of Yunnan County thought that the god of fire was angry, so fire temples were raised in various places, and the image of the god of fire of various ethnic groups was different. In the country of Ugo, the image of the god of fire is extremely similar to the former lord of the country, the vulture, who was killed by Yang Xi.
Somewhere in the Savage Mountain, a figure three meters tall, with scaly armor on its back and a wolf's head on its head, shuttled through the fire, followed by dozens of figures, all with blood-red faces.
Not long after, a robed figure appeared here, and the scaly wolf-headed figure was very respectful to him.
"King Yin! Look at the effect, the sons and daughters have spared no effort, and they have not stopped for the past three days, and if this continues, I am afraid that this fire will burn all the living beings in a radius of hundreds of miles. If there are a few more fires, the country of Chenhe will be in chaos without a fight. ”
This is called King Yin, and it is Sima Wei.
Sima Wei nodded and said: "You have worked hard in the past few days, you are still taking care of it here, I will go to other places to continue to contact my colleagues, this time we must let the Chenhe Kingdom collapse by itself, and return the world to orthodoxy." Once my Sima family is in control of Shangtu, you will definitely be indispensable. ”
"Don't send it!"
The vulture bone clenched his fist, and Sima Wei disappeared.
It turned out that Sima Wei was actually contacting the immortals from all over the world, and the catastrophe arose in the upper land, preparing to cause turmoil among the people of Chenhe. If the people are really able to make a living, their merits will be truly complete.
This vulture bone was introduced by Sima Wei and found in the country of Ugo. I don't know what kind of chance the vulture bone has, at this time, it is actually in the early stage of the earth immortal, with the identity of the god of fire, and its progress is even faster. [End of Chapter]
