These words not only did not offend people, but also clarified her position, leaving Aunt Zhu with nothing to say.

After talking for a while, Aunt Zhu said with a smile: "Then I won't delay you, you are going to the ground, right?" ”

Although in autumn, the weeds in the fields are still rampant, and you need to hoe them from time to time.

Yuan Ning nodded, "We'll repair the hoe and go to the ground." ”

Aunt Zhu got up to say goodbye and took away the cloth.

Yuan Ning led his younger brothers and sisters to the door to see her off, watching her go away, Zhong Lingcai whispered: "Eldest sister, I take all the cloth heads...... which are not very regular" To put it bluntly, they don't have much trust in Aunt Zhu, if she goes out and tells people that her family can afford good cloth, there are still many people outside who are worried about their money.

Yuan Ning nodded, "Yes, the heart of guarding against people is indispensable." When you're older, you'll cut it yourself, so we don't have to ask for help. ”

Zhong Ling nodded naturally, and didn't think about letting Yuan Ning take over this kind of work, after all, the chapter was already very busy every day, and she had to help her sister share what she could.

Turning back, Yuan Ning and Bo Zhong went down to the ground with their hoes.

The vitality of ramie is very strong, and the weeds in the ramie field look weaker than the weeds in other people's fields.

But there are still a lot of locusts in the field.

No one eats it among the locals, and in their eyes, locusts are a calamity and an ominous thing.

Hara rather didn't have such thoughts.

I didn't worry when I saw that the weeds in the field would not become a scourge if they were not removed, but as soon as I walked by, the people who were watching the grasshoppers flying around were upset.

She discussed with Bo Zhong to arrest him.

There are also many species of locusts, most of which are good at flying and jumping. Usually children will occasionally catch it to play with it or feed the chickens.

So Bo Zhong can also catch it, but he thinks it's more important to hoe the grass.

Yuan Ning smiled: "Let's catch more, not only can the ramie in the field grow better, but we can also eat it!" ”

Bo Zhong was startled, "Can this thing be eaten?" ”

Yuan Ning didn't explain much, "You just follow me." ”

The sister and brother caught a sack of locusts in the morning, and at first the two of them pulled the dogtail grass to string the locusts they caught, but the number was too large, and it was not a matter of putting them in baskets and baskets, and the whole string of grasshoppers would also move.

So he simply asked Bo Zhong to go home and get back a sack.

A bag of grasshoppers also weighed a little, and the two sisters and brothers sweated when they brought them home.

Zhong Ling and Shu Yu at home didn't know what was in the bag, so they came over curiously and took a look, startled, a dense bag of grasshoppers, even if they were skewered with dogtail grass, but they wriggled and moved, and they looked a little crazy.

Yuan Ning used his dirty hands and asked Zhong Ling to bring over the jars at home, so he pinched the grasshopper's wings and legs and threw them into the jars.

It was troublesome for her to deal with so many grasshoppers alone, Bo Zhong quickly came over to help, and Shu Yu also joined in after watching it for a while.

Zhong Ling had to look at the stove fire and take care of Ji Xiu, so he didn't come.

The three of them were busy for almost an hour, and everyone had a slimy and black hand, that is, the blood that flowed from the grasshopper. There's also a strange smell.

Zhong Ling scooped water for them, brought the filtered plant ashes, and the three of them carefully washed their hands, washing them several times before they felt that the smell had dissipated.

After lunch and a short rest, Yuan Ning and Bo Zhong were about to go to the ground again, and Shu Yu was going to follow him, Yuan Ning considered that it was not a heavy job, so he asked Zhong Ling: "Can you be at home alone?" ”

Zhong Ling pondered for a while, she should be able to handle it, although Ji Xiu couldn't lie on the car all the time, but when she pushed her sister to hang around at the door, someone would come over from time to time to help hug her, and the little guy wouldn't get bored, so he nodded and said, "Okay, no problem." ”

Yuan Ning said, "Then we'll come back early in the evening." "Otherwise, it's too hard for a small doll to carry an even smaller doll and have to cook.

Practice makes perfect, and there was Shu Yu in the afternoon, so Yuan Ning and the others caught a bag and a half of grasshoppers in one go, and went home happily.

You can't eat it on this day, and you have to get rid of the filth in your body until the grasshopper has exhausted it.

But as a result, there are a lot fewer grasshoppers in their fields.

However, they have less land, and the grasshoppers in the adjacent plots will run over again, so this kind of grasshopper control will not achieve much success unless everyone works together.

Yuan Ning planned to borrow a few chickens from other people's families after a while and raise them in the field.

Early the next morning, Zhong Ling reported to Yuan Ning, who had returned from collecting firewood: "Eldest sister, most of those grasshoppers don't like to move very much. ”

The jar and basin were full of black feces, and it smelled terrible. She originally thought that grasshopper poop was tasteless, but she didn't know ......

"Let's toss it up," Yuan Ning put down the firewood, asked Bo Zhong to take Shu Yu to dry, and he and Zhong Ling cleaned up the jars and everything, "So that you can eat it at noon, it doesn't matter if you don't know how to do it, I'll do it when I come back, let's add vegetables!" ”

Zhong Ling frowned, "This...... Can you eat it? ”

Yuan Ning laughed: "Absolutely delicious!" ”

She also pondered that if she had the conditions, she could actually feed some and cook them in the winter.

When he returned home at noon, Zhong Ling had already cleaned the two jars of grasshoppers as instructed.

Yuan Ning poured oil into the pot, poured a jar of grasshoppers into it, half fried and half fried.

There was a sting, and the fragrance came out.

Shu Yu drooled and said, "It's so fragrant......"

Zhong Ling bit her lip, she didn't dare to eat it.

After a while, the grasshopper came out of the pot, brown in color and exuding bursts of aroma.

Yuan Ning first took one of the chopsticks and put it in his mouth, then squinted his eyes and kept nodding: "It's crispy and crispy, it's delicious:"

Shu Yu squeezed over and drooled and asked, "Is it really delicious?" ”

Yuan Ning didn't speak, just stuffed a grasshopper into his mouth.

Shu Yu jumped up immediately after eating it, "It's delicious!" Delicious! ”

Bo Zhong also picked up the chopsticks and started eating, and he couldn't stop eating it, "It's delicious, it's delicious!" Second sister, you try it too! ”

Zhong Ling thought about the appearance of the grasshopper when it was alive, and felt a little frightened, and did not dare to try.

Yuan Ning gave Bo Zhong a look, one of the two grabbed her hand, and the other stuffed her mouth, and Yuan Ning also warned: "Don't spit it out!" ”

Zhong Ling bit his scalp twice, and his originally stiff body slowly relaxed, because such grasshoppers were really delicious, fragrant and crispy, and the oil flowed when he bit it, "Eldest sister, really...... Delicious! ”

Yuan Ning let go of his hand with a smile, "Okay, let's eat with confidence!" I, as a sister, can I still lie to you? ”
