"Can't eat it! Poisonous! You're crazy hungry! His tone was extremely exaggerated, and his voice was very loud, and everyone present looked at him, some of the locusts that had eaten in their mouths quickly spit out, and some of those who had already eaten their stomachs spit out in a panic.

The tall and honest man scratched his head stupidly, and then said: "My mother said, if there is a locust plague, it must have evil spirit and curse, this thing can't be eaten, it will die!" ”

As soon as they heard that they were going to die, everyone threw down the locusts in their hands, and then left in a panic, and it was not okay not to go.

Li Jicai was also attracted by this movement, and when she heard the man's words, the expression on her face suddenly became cold.

Of course, she didn't think about killing locusts by catching them and frying them, just like Cheng Cheng said, the cost was too high, the manpower and material resources were too much, and the results were very small.

But the purpose of her actions today is to warn the people that locusts are not a terrible natural disaster, let alone an evil thing.

And they can turn it into food on their own tables.

First of all, the idea of resisting locusts psychologically is eliminated, so that they can be further changed, and the influence can gradually spread, so that these people dare to exterminate locusts, which is the first step in eliminating locusts, rather than passive, passive, and reluctant to do things to exterminate locusts.

This man's words undoubtedly stood on the opposite side of her, and even greatly damaged her plan.

As soon as a person hears that he will die if he eats locusts, the rumors that spread outside will surely become something over time, such as death if he touches locusts, or death when he smells locusts.

If this unhealthy trend is not suppressed today, it will be more difficult to eradicate locusts this time, and even all future activities to eradicate locusts.

"Ridiculous! What can your old lady know if she can read and write, she has eaten locusts, and her words have no evidence, how can you use this rumor as a basis? hinder us from exterminating locusts. ”

Li Jicai rebuked loudly that she had to overwhelm the other party in momentum first.

The man who jumped out and said that the locusts would die if they ate it, and the man immediately blushed and reddened his eyes, wanting to open his mouth to argue with Li Jicai.

In his heart, what his wife said must be credible. There is no question of reading and literacy, and he himself is not literate. You can't be wrong with the experience of the older generation.

Some of them listened to the man's words, and just impulsively ate the locust, they couldn't help but start picking their throats with their fingers, trying to spit the locusts out of their throats.

Cheng Cheng's knife-like eyes shook over, and the meaning of the warning was self-evident.

But the man still had no intention of giving up, even if his boss didn't allow him to say it, but for everyone's life, he had to say it.

The man didn't see Li Jicai, he had also eaten locusts just now, he thought it was just the people above who forced these people to eat locusts.

"Today, none of you should leave, just watch me eat, you fry, I will eat." The majestic and high-spirited Li Jicai strode in front of the man who refuted her, and then said loudly.

Everyone's eyes widened, and they looked at Li Jicai without blinking, with awe and shock in their hearts.

When Li Jicai put the locust in his mouth, he covered his eyes timidly.

Some of the people who had returned from catching yellow worms accidentally let go of their nets, allowing the locusts they had just caught to run away again.

Some people stared at Li Jicai without blinking, to see if she would have any poisoning reaction.

The tall man who had questioned Li Jicai before quietly slipped out of the crowd at some point, and then shrank at the outermost part of the line to watch.

He was thinking about it in his heart, and he regretted it very much, why did he say such a thing, to provoke that young lady to eat this locust, in case he died, it must not be blamed on his own head.

If the young lady died, could he say that the young lady was self-defeating and that she was the one who ate the locusts herself, and that it had nothing to do with him? You can't find him when you're dead, it's not his fault.

Li Jicai stared at the tall man, his eyes were full of disdain, and there was even a hint of provocation.

Afraid that something would happen, she shrank back, saying that eating locusts would kill her, and she would eat it for him today!

No one spoke out to stop her, Cheng Cheng understood that Li Jicai had to do this, he had to establish his prestige in front of everyone, and he had to let the locusts be harmless, and even the influence of eating them could spread.

Only in this way can we organize ourselves to truly eradicate locusts from the people, and it is not enough to rely on officers and soldiers alone.

Could it be that if there is a locust plague in one place in the future, then the people will flee in all directions, and then let the officers and soldiers of the government go over to clean up the mess, but when the locust plague passes, are they bringing those people back to their hometowns?

At the beginning, Li Jicai showed great interest in this locust, picked up a locust, and sniffed it deeply, and then exhaled, indicating that the fragrance of fried locusts was very attractive.

Following Li Jicai's expression, everyone also made corresponding expressions of surprise or admiration or incredulity.

This young lady is so fierce!

It's incredible, good guys, it's like they're eating some kind of delicacies. Obviously, it's just fried locusts that have passed through the oil pot, and there is nothing particularly elaborate at all.

But Li Jicai's performance made others look like they thought that this locust was really delicious. It makes people want to move their fingers and taste it.

It's horrible, it's horrible!

This person's terrifying expression made Li Jicai, who was eating locusts, sometimes couldn't help but want to laugh, but in order to maintain her sense of majesty, she forced herself not to let herself laugh, in fact, she couldn't stand it anymore.

Dead Cheng Cheng, he didn't help her speak from beginning to end, helping to render the atmosphere, so that the stunned and shocked people around him went to the next level, and those smiling eyes looked at how it was unpleasant.

Just as she was thinking this, Cheng Cheng's deep voice sounded in her ears.

"The envoy personally demonstrated whether the locusts can be eaten or not, have you all seen it, do you still have any questions?" Cheng Cheng meant to say that Li Jicai had proved that locusts were not poisonous and that there would be no problem if they were eaten.

The voices against her should have subsided.

Li Jicai snorted in a low voice and glared at Cheng Cheng, but Cheng Cheng looked at him with a smile like that, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that it was mockery.

Li Jicai happened to be hungry too, although this fried locust can only be eaten as a snack, not as a staple food, but it is also rich in protein and nutritional value, isn't it just eating locusts?

No problem.

It's sprinkling water, smearing the floor.

On the day of catching locusts, Li Jicai ate fried locusts there all day in front of everyone.

Everyone who ate it felt a little panicked in the end, first, this woman had eaten so many locusts, and it was estimated that her stomach was full of locusts, and she was extremely disgusting. The second is that this woman has eaten so many locusts, and she is fine! Not to mention whether this locust is delicious or not, will everyone force themselves to eat locusts in the future?

Subjectively, there is still some reluctance.

Li Jicai also felt extremely disgusting at the end of the meal, if a person only ate one food for the whole day, no matter who she was, she would feel very uncomfortable.

This initial delicacy turned into the final ravage, and Li Jicai felt that he was also quite hard.

And in order to prove that this food can be eaten and is delicious, when Li Jicai eats locusts, his facial expression must show that he is very happy, very happy, and very cheerful.

Even the facial muscles at the end of the meal felt extremely sore, and the face looked extremely hideous.

In order to show the crispness of the locusts and the fragrance, Li Jicai ate the "squeaky and squeak", and deliberately made such a sound of tasting it carefully for everyone to hear.

So much so that after she went back that night, Li Jicai threw up because she had eaten too much.

She didn't remember how many plates the next person took, but she only knew that she was desperate to eat.

And if she remembered correctly, she even saw Cheng Cheng's gloating expression.

Isn't she, Li Jicai, trying to eradicate locusts? If he doesn't help, it doesn't matter, how can he gloat there.

Moreover, Cheng Cheng had nothing else except a few words to him from beginning to end, and he had not even eaten a locust.

Abominable.

And the fried locusts, because they were too greasy and spicy, Li Jicai drank a lot of anti-greasy tea after going back, basically didn't sleep all night, and her mouth was swollen like something, but in order to let others not suspect that this locust was a sign that she was poisoned, she found a lot of things to apply overnight to make her lips swollen.

The next day, Li Jicai followed them to a new place, and then continued to eat locusts.

Ten cauldrons were put up, and with the experience of the first day, the situation on the second day was much better, and some people even couldn't help but secretly taste one or two of the fried locusts made by Li Jicai because of the delicious taste, but they didn't dare to eat too much, they only dared to watch Li Jicai eat there alone.

Not dying shows that Li Jicai was right at the beginning, the locusts are not poisonous when eaten, unless someone deliberately poisons them.

They also invited doctors to corroborate, especially Dr. Wang, because he came from the capital, so it was quite heavy, in this small place of Huze.

Dr. Wang cooked Li Jicai for almost one night because she ate too much and ate too much.

The next day, before she had time to catch up on sleep, she was called over to prove to Li Jicai that she was okay with eating locusts and that locusts were not poisonous.

But even if it was proven, Li Jicai felt that the response of the masses was mediocre and still did not have special trust and recognition of her, so she ate locusts for another day, and the amount of food was shocking.

At first, I could eat slowly and methodically, but when I was later, I immediately grabbed them one by one and stuffed them into my mouth, not caring about my etiquette at all.
