And today he's going to let this group of guys know that it's amazing!

"What's the matter with the village chief? I've heard that the county magistrate has a way to deal with locusts, is it true?"

Almost all the people who went to Yunlai County today saw the list, even if they were illiterate, they listened to the people around them, and they still knew a lot about it.

The village chief said with a smile: "Naturally, there is a way, and the county master has also explained, we can catch these locusts and sell them to him, five catties before two cents, and we can collect as much as we come!"

"Is there such a good thing? The county magistrate actually paid for this locust?!" When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up, judging from the number of locusts covering the sky and the sun, if they could catch them all, they could not exchange them for silver coins for the winter!

"Of course it's true! If there is a big one who doesn't want to be caught, you can burn it to death, and the county master will also teach the way, and we'll ...."The village chief was interrupted before he could say anything.

"Why do you want to burn to death, how good it is to exchange locusts for money!"

"It's just that we have been hit so badly this year, if we work hard, maybe we won't have to go hungry for the winter this year!"

The village chief wanted to introduce other methods of governance, but the villagers seemed to be particularly respectful of the method of catching locusts in exchange for money.

Come to think of it, as long as you work hard, you can solve the problem of locusts and sell them for money, so why not do it?

Whether it was this village, the rest of the villages reacted the same, and they were simply elated after hearing that the locust catches could pay back.

I had been afraid of when the locusts would come, but now I hope that the locusts will come soon.

Some activists simply dismantled their nets and made a large, dense net, so that when the locusts came, as long as four people were spreading their nets in the four corners, they would be able to rain down a large number of locusts as if they were fishing.

It's frighteningly efficient!

The older children in the village did not panic at all, and when they learned that locusts would be exchanged for money, they also got involved.

In addition, in order to protect the period, the village chief Chu also dug a ditch according to the instructions of the county magistrate, and poured some sticky filter oil into it, as long as the locusts fell in, there would be no way to break free.

Just when everyone was watching, the locusts finally arrived, and this time they were about to face the people who resisted!

Just when everyone was struggling to catch the locusts, Chu Xinyun turned around and went to Yunjian Restaurant on the way back from Yunlai County.

"The little lady is here?" Shopkeeper Xu was in high spirits during this time, and after defeating Dexing Building, his restaurant business in Qingshui Town can be described as a cover-up.

And recently, he also contracted the old building next to it and renovated it, and now there are guests staying one after another.

Because of Chu Xinyun's occasional suggestions before, he found that it was extra easy to use after he adopted it, and his admiration for her rose a lot for a while.

Seeing her take the initiative to come today, I couldn't help but be a little curious: "What is the matter today?"

Chu Xinyun has also cooperated with Shopkeeper Xu many times, and he simply didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "Shopkeeper, I came today to ask you to borrow money." ”

Shopkeeper Xu was not surprised at all, but asked directly: "I don't know how much the little lady wants, if everyone is here, it will definitely be fine." ”

"Let's borrow a thousand taels first." Chu Xinyun smiled: "Study cabinet, you believe in me too much, don't even ask me why I borrow money?" What if I take the money and run away?"

Shopkeeper Xu also smiled: "I have cooperated with the little lady so many times, and the profits are far more than one thousand taels, but I am really curious, I don't know what the little lady wants to do with this money?"

Chu Xinyun smiled mysteriously: "Actually, I have to talk about another business with the shopkeeper, I don't know what you think about it?"

"Then what are you waiting for, little lady, hurry up and please come here!"

After the three of them entered the private room, Chu Xinyun told him about the recent locust infestation, and the shopkeeper Xu bowed slightly after hearing this: "I have also heard a little about this matter, I don't know what this has to do with locusts?"

"Naturally, it is related, because I asked the shopkeeper to borrow money just to collect this locust."

Shopkeeper Xu was stunned, and then asked, "What is the little lady doing with this locust?" Is it possible that you can still make food?"

"The shopkeeper is really a smart man, what this locust likes to eat most is the crops and fruits and vegetables in the field, since it eats all this, why can't it eat it?"

After Chu Xinyun mentioned this, Shopkeeper Xu suddenly realized!

Can this be extrapolated in this way?

But if you think about it, this conclusion is also valid, but I don't know what this locust should do if it really wants to enter the dish?

Thinking about him, he turned his gaze to Chu Xinyun and asked, "I wonder if the little lady can solve the puzzle?" I've seen a lot of strange food when I traveled from north to south, but I've never seen this kind of locust feeding......

Chu Xinyun smiled slightly, she knew that if she wanted to find someone to cooperate, this Xu Xuejie was the best choice!

"Don't be anxious about the cabinet, although this locust eats crops, its nutritional value is very high, higher than some pork and beef, and its method is also very simple, although this insect looks disgusting, but as long as it is washed and put into a high-temperature oil pan to fry and fry thoroughly, and then sprinkle with some pepper and salt, the entrance is very crispy, if it looks, it must be thought that it is shrimp meat."

"Is it really that amazing?"

Shopkeeper Xu was extremely curious for a while, and he couldn't wait to leave to catch some locusts to try them and see what it tasted like!

"This is natural, and this locust is not only fried, but also roasted, and the taste is not bad!"

When it comes to eating, Chu Xinyun can talk for three days and three nights.

The way to eat this locust actually has been there for a long time, when the people were poor and had nothing to eat, so they tried to catch this locust, but I didn't expect it to taste really good, and then the locust was passed down.

Not only locusts, but also some silkworm pupae can be eaten, and the protein content in them is quite high!

At this time, I am afraid that the term protein is mistaken for a monster, and Chu Xinyun has to change the noun to explain it and say that it is delicious!

Yes, as long as people who have tasted the meat of the insects say that it is delicious, and it is not easy to gain weight after eating, and it can also supplement trace elements to the body.

Under her persuasion, Shopkeeper Xu said that it was fake to be tempted, but he was still ready to see the finished product first, after all, he had never tasted it, how could he introduce it to others?

Chu Xinyun naturally agreed, with money behind him, presumably those villagers would definitely work hard to catch it, and it won't be long before the first batch of locusts will be sent over.

Shopkeeper Xu even took a thousand taels of silver tickets to her, and said that if it was not enough, he could continue to look for him.

With his support, Chu Xinyun finally let go of the stone in his heart, after all, if the villagers caught too much and couldn't collect it from their side, wouldn't it chill people's hearts?

In addition, she also asked the shopkeeper Xu to prepare more bamboo cages to collect locusts at that time, and the latter naturally agreed.

Just as Chu Xinyun had just left, Shopkeeper Xu wrote a letter to report the matter to Li Xiuqi, wanting to hear his opinion.

Li Xiuqi, who was enjoying the maid's shoulder pinching in the Xiaoyao Pavilion, received a letter from the shopkeeper Xu, and immediately waved the maid away, opened the letter and took a look.

After reading it, I couldn't help laughing: "This girl is interesting, this locust can also be used in dishes?"

But thinking about the wine sent by Xu Dexing a few days ago, he subconsciously licked his lips, since that guy said it tasted good, it should be okay, right?

Speaking of which, I haven't eaten her food in a while.....

Three days later, Li Xiuqi wrote back and ordered him to cooperate well.

With the master's order, Shopkeeper Xu naturally became more and more serious, and immediately ordered someone to expedite the bamboo cages of various sizes to facilitate the loading of locusts, and at the same time, he became more and more curious about Chu Xinyun.

This little lady is not acting like a peasant woman in the countryside anymore, she has opinions and ideas, but she is more powerful than some nobles in the capital, she has cooperated with her for so long, and almost every business is a lot of money.

even squeezed out Dexing Building, who didn't put him in his eyes at first, and when he thought of something new coming up, Shopkeeper Xu couldn't help but feel hot in his eyes.

While everyone was eagerly awaiting, the first locusts finally arrived in the nearby village, but before they could land to taste the food, they were caught in a merciless net, and the remaining scattered locusts blamed the excited villagers and children for catching them everywhere, and then neatly packed them into the prepared sacks.

"Wow, Brother Niu, you've caught so much! I'll see if there's at least a dozen pounds, right?"

"Hehe, aren't I moving fast, and there are a lot of you."

There were not many locusts this time, and they were caught in just an hour, and some of them fell into the dug ditch, and their wings were stuck in the oil filter, and they couldn't get out no matter how hard they struggled.

These were directly burned by a fire, and the villagers, who were still extremely afraid of locusts, were now carrying more or less sacks in their hands, and walked towards the village with some laughter.

Not only this one village, but the rest of the villages are basically the same process, and some villagers also sighed because there were too few locusts caught, complaining that they had come so many before, why did they come so little today, etc., which made the villagers on the side laugh.

"Isn't it a good thing that there are fewer locusts? Why are you still complaining?"

"Hehe, didn't I catch much, it is estimated that it is enough to change ten cents, how can it be like you at least a few dozen pounds?"

"Good luck, good luck!"

For a while, the sense of crisis brought by locusts disappeared, and Chu Xinyun saw the villagers holding nets next to the crops in the past few days, and shouted for people to come when they saw locusts coming, and then they were all caught in sacks within half an hour.

She stood on the ridge and looked at everyone's busy appearance, and couldn't help but show a knowing smile.

Xiao Shu saw her smile in his eyes, and completely ordered Xiao San to write a letter that day, passing on this method of controlling locusts to His Majesty, after all, it was not only Qingshui Town that suffered from the locust plague, there must be more serious places, if they could help them, it would be considered a good thing.

Xiao San took the letter and glanced at it secretly, and the shocked look on his face couldn't be hidden.

He used to think that this little lady was just because she had saved the boss's life, so it was okay to help a gang, but after seeing this pest control recipe, he instantly changed his mind.

No one knows better than them about the disaster situation in various places, not to mention some of the droughts and floods, the most serious thing every year is this locust plague, if you can get this method of controlling insects, then the world will be a lot more peaceful.

And he also saw the place at the end, and found that the boss was really sincere, and he didn't take any credit, and all of it went to Miss Chu.

If this method is really useful, with Your Majesty's character, it will definitely be rewarded.

The first batch of locusts had been sent to the county office, and Zhao Xianling looked at the dozen sacks of locusts and was shocked with goosebumps.

Chu Xinyun also came over in a carriage early, it is best not to stay overnight for this locust, after all, it is easy to die in the sack in this hot weather, and the taste of the locust will also change.
