When people in other places heard that there was a locust plague, they all frowned and worried.

Only where Gu Jia is, everyone is gearing up, looking forward to the locust plague coming soon.

Everything that should be prepared is ready, and the locusts are coming, and after everyone catches them, they can go to the shopkeeper Tong to exchange food.

So, in the expectation of the people, the locusts really came, and the locusts were flying all over the town and the village.

However, for the people in the town and in the village, these are not locusts, they are food.

Both adults and children are fully armed, cover themselves tightly, and then take the big net bags made by themselves, sweep the sky all over the sky, catch the locusts, and stuff them into bags.

Gu Jia covered herself tightly, stood at the door, looked at the people who were busy, and only felt funny.

Probably, this group of locusts did not expect that the plague of locusts, which everyone talked about elsewhere, would become a disaster for them when they arrived.

There are naturally not enough people in the town alone, but there are really a lot of people in the surrounding villages.

Originally, the locusts in Wuyang and Wuyang were only a few days old, and there was not a single one left, Gu Jia guessed, or maybe they knew that they were catching them, so they ...... Deserted and fled.

Of course, this is just speculation, after all, it is a swarm of locusts, how can it be a human mind.

This operation can be said to be all beneficial, the crops that do not grow in the ground, the big trees on the roadside, and the grass on the ground, although they are not very good because of the drought, but because they caught locusts, they did not suffer much damage.

But as long as it can rain a few times, it will definitely get better, but unfortunately, I don't know when it will rain.

With the locusts they caught, everyone went to the shopkeeper Tong and exchanged for food.

Even if there are not many of them, they are already very satisfied.

"Brother Xiao Gu, I heard that it's raining somewhere." Shi Xu told Gu Jia the good news he had just gotten.

"Really?" Gu Jia's eyes lit up, it rained somewhere, does it mean that there will be no drought, or it won't be long before they can rain here?

However, until the matter is settled, it is too early to say anything.

Therefore, Gu Jia hid this matter in her heart, and she didn't know it as if she was herself.

"Shopkeeper, how's that?" Shopkeeper Tong sent out a lot of food, which was all money, and it could be said that he had lost a lot, but he always had a smile on his face.

"It's okay, I'm happy to keep the things in the town and the village." lost the money, but the shopkeeper Tong got an excellent reputation.

According to what Gu Jia said, he made the locusts and beckoned people to eat them.

In the beginning, many people did not dare, but some people dared to try, because before they had changed food, they had a hard time, they did not dare to eat more, and often did not eat enough, so they stiffened.

After all, the conditions are not good, and they can't leave the town, and there is not much food, and the price is so high.

Because of catching locusts, they have some food in their hands, and they don't dare to eat more, I heard that the shopkeeper Tong made locusts and invited people to eat them for free, and immediately there were those hungry and hungry people who were willing to try.

As a result, they felt that nothing tasted as good as this thing.

Some people are willing to try it and think it tastes delicious, and some people want to follow the trend and try whether it tastes good or not.

People who have tasted it naturally say that it is good, but they are embarrassed to eat other people's things for nothing, so they leave money to buy the things of the shopkeeper Tong.

Locusts are exchanged for grain, and selling these things was originally rejected by the shopkeeper Tong, but he also tasted the taste and thought it was very good.

Therefore, if there is someone who is willing to buy it, he sells it at a very low price.

Unknowingly, it offset a lot of his losses, which made Shopkeeper Tong happy.

Finally, a month and a half later, two great events reached the town.

The first is that because of the locust matter, other places have followed suit here, and the effect is very good, and the emperor has ordered that the tax here be exempted for ten years.

This is a great thing, but then the second thing happened that made people cry bitterly, because ...... It's raining.

This means that the drought may be over, and if there are a few rains in a row, and then a little bit from time to time, at least next year, the harvest in the fields will not make people hungry.

Finally it rained, and I heard that the drought had ended in some places, so the shopkeeper Tong specially gathered other merchants to discuss and sell the grain in his hand cheaply.

When hoarding, it didn't cost too much money, don't lower than the capital, just make a reputation, it is always beneficial.

So, in the town and in the village, everyone was able to use the past price to buy food, and they were very grateful to the shopkeeper Tong.

If there is gratitude, there will naturally be resentment, and Shopkeeper Zhao looked at Shopkeeper Tong proudly and hated it.

Failed to kill the person surnamed Gu next to him before, so he simply attacked the shopkeeper Tong.

Xu is because the past events have seriously stimulated him, and there was something wrong with his spirit, so he actually carried a knife and went to kill the shopkeeper Tong.

It was also thanks to his goal that was too obvious, and he was found and held down in time, so he didn't hurt anyone.

But his intention to hurt people was obvious, so he sent it to the government.

During the previous drought, many shops helped others, but Zhao's shopkeeper couldn't say anything.

Now, it's raining, people's lives are recovering day by day, and other shopkeepers' shops have gradually had business, only Zhao's shopkeeper's shop, and no one has come.

In addition, Zhao's shopkeeper was locked up, and his shop was finally taken over by several merchants in the town.

With the help of the shopkeeper Tong, Xiao Gao took back several stores belonging to the Gao family, but for the time being, the shop belonging to the shopkeeper Tong could become the rightful shopkeeper only after earning back the ransom.

Changjiu's shop finally became his shop, he was so excited that he couldn't wait to kowtow to Gu Jia, but fortunately he was stopped.

"Xiao Gu, I have something I want to discuss with you." When everyone was busy and happy, Shopkeeper Tong found Gu Jia in front of him.

"Shopkeeper, please." Unexpectedly, this time, things were so smooth, and the shopkeeper Zhao was eliminated like this, Gu Jia's heart was very happy.

"You are a talented child, it's a pity to stay in our town, I have an old friend, surnamed Fang, in the city, do you want to go to his place?"

"I can recommend you, so that you will have greater development in the future."

After discussing with Gu Jia, Shopkeeper Tong felt that this was the best way he could think of to repay him.

Staying in the town, in her life, the most she can do is to be a shopkeeper and have a shop, and it will be different when she goes to Fucheng, she can learn more and see more.

Only how long can people have greater development, Tong shopkeeper hopes, Gu Jia thinks about it.
