Locusts will transfer to them?

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

As soon as this locust comes, won't the hundreds of thousands of acres of land in your own house be in danger?

This year, their Xue family planted so many acres of sweet potato land, and they were already taking a great risk, and they also planted it with gritted teeth.

If they were eaten by locusts, wouldn't that kill them?

Tang Sanniang, who had asked Xue Xuanjing to speak slowly, was instantly anxious, "Then what should I do?" The ducks we raise are mainly to prevent local locusts, and if the scale is too large, these ducks alone can't prevent it! ”

Shen Pandi, the daughter-in-law of the big house on the side, had some insight, and hurriedly comforted her, "Mother, don't worry, there are not many others in our south, but there are many mountains, how can this group of locusts fly over so many mountains and forests to come here?" ”

Xue Yuhe also echoed, "Yes, it's this reason, I feel that Lin Chu's girl is a little worried." ”

The boss Xue Linjing frowned, a little worried, "But since Lin Chu said so, he also asked Xiao Jiu to come back to report the news, which shows that this locust plague is indeed a little unusual." ”

"Indeed, with Lin Chu's character, he will definitely not speak in vain, since he said it, it will come true nine times out of ten, there is nothing abnormal in this, let Xiao Jiu tell us carefully", the second Xue Shanjing also agreed with the eldest sister's opinion.

Xue Kejing soothed, "Don't worry, everyone, the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth, what is there to be afraid of, if the locusts are really likely to come, let's take precautions in advance." ”

She said it was simple, but if locusts were so easy to defend against, the locust plague would not have to be comparable to a flood, alas.

Everyone discussed like this for a while, and it wasn't until Xue Xuanjing finally got back to her breath that Jiang Qianyue called her over.

The locust plague is a major matter related to the safety of the Xue family, they don't care about being sloppy, they must treat it as a big thing.

When there was something important to discuss, the people simply went to the hall and discussed it seriously.

After everyone sat down, Jiang Qianyue looked at Xue Xuanjing, "Xiao Jiu, in addition to saying that the locust plague will move south, did Lin Chu say the specific reason?" ”

Xue Xuanjing nodded and said, "Yes." ”

If she hadn't been really out of breath, she would have said it a long time ago.

"Tell me about it."

"Here's the thing, Sister Lin Chu said, because the drought in the north is serious, and the situation has not improved much, there is a lot less land that can grow food, and the planting effect is not very good.

This time, the locust swarm was unprecedentedly large, and there were not enough food crops in the fields for them, so they had to move south in search of food.

The tragedy is that because the drought in recent years has become more and more serious year by year, the imperial court has to issue an order to vigorously reclaim the land in the south of us, resulting in a large area of mountains and forests being reclaimed, and it is impossible to stop the locust swarm from moving south.

Although we ordinary people have less land in their hands, the landlord class has more land in their hands and more grain crops, which will naturally attract a large number of locusts.

In recent years, there has been a lot of drought in the south, and this land is more suitable for locusts than in the past.

No, it's suitable to come, I love to come more, and it's convenient to come, but aren't they all here?

Lin Chu also said that if they still can't eat enough when they get here, maybe they will not only eat food crops, but they may eat whatever they want, so that where the locust swarm passes, thousands of miles of red land, even people dare to eat..."

Even people eat it! Is this still an ordinary locust?

Xue Xuanjing's words shocked everyone. 360 Literature Network

Xue Shanjing, who was sitting on one side in charge of the general affairs of the sweet potato field, thought about it and couldn't help frowning, "If there are really northern locusts coming, then we won't be able to see such ducks at all."

Moreover, even if we have enough, no one else has a duck defense, so won't the pressure have to be on our ducks in the end? If the locusts kept coming, even if the ducks ate enough, they would be useless. ”

Xue Kejing then added, "Therefore, we and the rest of the people are now dying of cold lips and teeth, and only by helping them resist the locusts together can we solve our crisis, otherwise it will be difficult for us to be alone." ”

"That's the truth," Xue Linjing also said.

As soon as he heard the eldest and second and third all say this, Tang stopped doing it, "What? We don't know how to solve our own affairs, and we still have to help others? ”

"Grandma, didn't you listen to your sisters, helping others is helping us."

"Yes, grandma, you should understand this truth."

The sisters of the Xue family also began to help, and they are now more willing to be of the same mind with the sisters than with the elders.

Not to mention now, even in the past, the sisters rely on each other, so they naturally have to help the sisters.

Let's talk about Tang Sanniang's side, she understands the reason, but...

Helping others is not as simple as lip service, it costs money.

And how much money does it cost to help so many people, isn't it costing her her life.

Their own money didn't fall from the sky, it was also earned by their hard work.

"It's not that we don't want to help, what about silver? How much money do you want to spend this time? ”

"This..."

They didn't think about it either.

"Qianyue, what do you think?" If there is any problem, it is natural to ask Jiang Qianyue, the person in charge, after all, she has to make an idea in the end for such a big matter.

Hearing this, everyone also looked at her.

Seeing that her eyebrows were slightly raised, she smiled lightly, "If the locust plague really comes, it will not only be a challenge for us, but also an opportunity." ”

Hearing that it was an opportunity, Tang Sanniang, who was still distressed before, instantly became energetic, "What opportunity?" ”

"I heard that locusts can be eaten?" Jiang Qianyue asked everyone, she was born in a family of cultivation and reading, but she didn't have much chance to encounter locusts, so she only heard about it.

"Of course you can eat it, you can blanch it and dry it, and then add seasonings, it is a delicious dish, and in the past, when the locusts came out, our sisters often went to catch them."

"You can also roast it in the fire and eat it, if you sprinkle some spices on it, it will be even more delicious, when we went to catch locusts when we were children, we often secretly got them to eat."

It was Xue Xuanjing who said this, and after finishing speaking, she stuck out her tongue and secretly glanced at Tang Sanniang and the others, after all, she was doing bad things under their noses.

In the past, they were always hungry and hungry, and if there was anything good, grandma would not give them these sisters, so they could only come secretly, and every time they caught a few locusts, they had to be scolded.

But it's better to be scolded than to be hungry.

The other sisters who were close to her age nodded in agreement.

And her words made Tang Sanniang's face hot, but it was not good to admit that she had done something wrong in the past in front of the juniors, so she only said directly, "If you want to eat, you can eat it, and when the locusts come, are you still afraid?" When the time comes, you can put whatever seasoning you want, and I guarantee that you will have a good meal. ”
