Seeing that people were eating with relish, Ye Hao couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in her heart, worthy of being a person in the Lingnan area.

Recalling her previous life, she had also heard that many people in this area of Lingnan like to eat insects. Some genes seem to be engraved in the bones.

Anyway, she didn't move herself, even if she was encouraging others to eat fried locusts, she couldn't pass that level in her heart.

Fortunately, the amount she did this time was not much, and a few people divided it up, and no one cared that she, the first person who proposed to eat locusts, actually did not touch the chopsticks.

"Although I eat it in my heart, it tastes really good!"

"yes, yes, it's the first time I've eaten such crispy food, and it feels amazing."

In this era when there were only two cooking methods, steaming and boiling, the method of frying is very novel, and everyone will not want to leave.

Seeing that people who have eaten it are all praised, and those who are still in a wait-and-see state and have poor psychological tolerance also regret that they didn't try it.

Fu Heng didn't care about the thoughts of these people who came to join in the fun, he walked closer and asked quietly in Ye Hao's ear:

"Mrs. Xie's cooking skills are really good, but this is the first time I've seen this method."

How can the ancient people, who can't even stir-fry, understand the beauty of oil for a while?

Fortunately, Fu Heng, as the shopkeeper of a restaurant, can see at a glance what the advantages of this approach are.

"This method is called deep frying, and as the name suggests, it is to boil a lot of oil, put the ingredients in and fry it."

Ye Hao didn't plan to hide her secrets, and directly explained the whole practice in detail.

However, for the people of the moment, there are really few people who can accept this approach.

After all, the current oil is extremely precious, and no soybean oil and rapeseed oil have not yet been born, and there is only one type of lard, how can it not be tight?

It was just that she happened to be in the back kitchen of the Moon Tower, so she could take out so much lard for her to squander.

Hearing this, Fu Heng's eyes lit up, and he secretly remembered this method.

"It's a good idea."

The reason why the insect plague is so fierce is that people have nothing to do with it. On the one hand, there was a lot of menacing manacing, and even if they caught some with nets, there was really no other use than to burn them to death.

But the power of the fire is always limited, and there are more waiting for a batch of burns, and the number of locusts is calculated in tens of thousands.

Now that Ye Zhen has proposed a way to deal with natural enemies such as chickens and ducks, others don't know, at least Fu Heng doesn't have to worry about it now.

The Fu family has more than ten acres of land in Manyi County, most of which have been seedled, but it is not very serious.

According to this method, you don't need to catch it to eat, and you can catch up with hundreds of chickens and ducks.

With the current reproductive capacity, although it cannot be like modern times, a farm is tens of thousands of chickens and ducks. But how to say that in a village, there are only hundreds.

The crowd of onlookers also saw it in their eyes, and as soon as they turned around, they hurriedly used the same method to clean up their fields.

The people who can eat at the Moon Tower at this time are not low-status, and they are also a squire with small assets.

At this time, the gap between ancient and modern ideas is revealed.

In ancient times, it was possible to live without a house, but not without a field.

Once you have money, when you think of buying assets for yourself, the first thing that comes to mind is to buy land. Even if you don't plant yourself, you can hire someone to race.

Therefore, as soon as they got such a solution, they went back to report the news.

Seeing this, Fu Heng smiled and nodded at Ye Zhen, and said:

"Mrs. Xie is really noble!"

He could see that the other party was obviously deliberately demonstrating how to deal with locusts in front of so many people.

Such a selfless act made him a businessman who couldn't help but admire it.

waved his hand a little embarrassed, Ye Zhen was really a little shy to be praised like this.

"Shopkeeper Fu is serious, and I'm just doing it with my hands. But I don't know if this method can really come in handy! ”

Her thoughts were a little pessimistic and more worried.

Needless to say, these extravagances can minimize losses with this method. But what about the hard-hit people? Where did they go to find hundreds of chickens and ducks to save their fields?

This matter still does not solve the fundamental problem.

Although Mochizuki Tower is rich, Fu Heng also promised to help her, but she can't always borrow the other party's chickens and ducks for others to deal with locusts for free, right?

This is unreasonable.

What's more, the amount that Mochizuki Tower can lend her is also a drop in the bucket for the disaster-stricken village.

Big, trouble still not solved!

A faint anxiety lingered in Ye Zhen's heart, but she also understood that she had done her best.

After spreading the methods of dealing with locusts, she and Lin Bin went back, and there were still a lot of things waiting for them at home.

Fortunately, her efforts were not in vain, and when the squires returned home, they began to gather their servants and drive chickens and ducks to their fields.

Such a move to mobilize the masses must be huge, and it has also attracted many people to watch. In this way, it has been passed on to hundreds, and under the proof of reality, many people know this solution.

The county seat itself is not very big, and there are less than ten villages when it is full, and everyone is most worried about the insect plague now.

Once the locust control method emerged, it quickly spread everywhere.

This was something that Ye Hao didn't expect, and things seemed to be developing in a good direction.

But the unexpected often comes unexpectedly.

On the second day, Ye Hao had just finished her chores at home and arranged for the women to start washing vegetables and cooking, when there was a sudden commotion at the door.

"This is the Xie family's residence?"

Ye Hao walked through the crowd, and when she raised her eyes, she saw three or four men in purple-black county government costumes, standing at the door with a fierce face and asking loudly.

She knew the officials of Barbarian County, and it was the group of officials who escorted her and Xie Yunshu to this place.

The arrival of the official naturally aroused the attention of many people, and many villagers were surrounded by them.

Ye Zhen hurriedly walked out of the door and replied loudly:

"The Xie family that several officials are looking for is surnamed Ye?"

When those officials heard this, they quickly turned their eyes around, and when they met Ye Zhen, they obviously paused for a long time.

Seeing that they were stunned and didn't speak, Ye Zhen went out and walked a few more steps and came to a few people.

Although she didn't know why these officials came, she couldn't sit idly by.

"You're the Xie family?"

The official who came back to her senses asked her, and after receiving an affirmative answer, her face suddenly changed, and she was about to step forward to take someone.

The one who reacted the most quickly was Lin Bin, and when a few officials had just made a move, his figure had already appeared in front of Ye Hao.

"Officials are on errands, and the idlers are waiting to leave as soon as possible!"

Seeing that someone was blocking in front of him, several officials were forced to stop their movements, glared at each other, and scolded loudly.

Unexpectedly, their scolding not only had no effect, but made the surrounding onlookers come forward to surround them.

"Even if it's an official errand, there is a charter and a reason! How can you come up and take people casually? ”

Some villagers said indignantly, and most of the villagers looked at several officials with different eyes.

In the hearts of most of the villagers, Ye Hao is like a life-saving benefactor, and she is usually respected.

How could they watch each other being taken away by a group of servants.

Seeing this scene, the officials couldn't help but feel a little flustered, but their faces were still calm.

There were only three or four of them coming out this time, and compared to a dozen or so villagers, it was definitely not enough to see.

"Are you trying to rebel?!"

The official at the head yelled, but the response was unmoved.

Those villagers were still staring at them, as if they didn't give an explanation, and this matter could not be good.

"A few officials, since you want to take people, please tell me the reason. If I'm really guilty, or if there's any misunderstanding in it, I'm willing to go with you. ”

At this time, Ye Hao not only had Lin Bin in front of him, but also had an extra Xie Yunshu beside him, all of whom looked at those officials with unkind faces.

But in her heart, she didn't want to have a conflict with the official, after all, her family was still in exile, and the trouble was too ugly, which was not good for them in the future.

Ask yourself, Ye Hao didn't do anything out of the ordinary during this time, and she rarely dealt with others.

Why did you get into trouble with the government?

Ye Hao couldn't figure it out herself.

Seeing that the surrounding villagers refused to give up, several officials finally gritted their teeth and chose to compromise.

They have also heard that there are evil people in poor villages, and the people in some villages are so fierce that they don't even listen to the orders of the government.

"Early this morning, someone sued the government. Named and said that it was you, the Xie family, who taught them to eat locusts, and now the people who eat them are still lying in the medical hall! ”

The use of chickens and ducks to control locusts had reached the ears of the county magistrate as early as yesterday night.

But before he had time to be happy, someone came to the county office early in the morning and accused Ye Hao of spreading rumors and harming people.

Yesterday's incident, only chickens and ducks to cure locusts were spread, and few people said that people could eat them.

First, because locusts are insects after all, and there are really not many people who can resist the pressure and eat them.

Second, there were not many people present that day, and even fewer people had tasted it in person, and most people's attention was on how to cure the locusts, not how delicious the locusts were.

But the problem with eating locusts is indeed someone, and this person's status in the county is not low.

Otherwise, in the face of solving the major problem of insect plague, how can the county order have the spare time to deal with this matter?

"Sick from eating locusts?"

"I'm afraid this man is not a fool, how can locusts eat? It's ridiculous to want to use this excuse to slander Mrs. Xie! ”

As soon as they heard the words of the officials, the villagers showed disbelief on their faces.

They had also heard the news that chickens and ducks could eat locusts, but they had never heard that people could eat them, and they subconsciously thought that these officials were slandering.

At this time, Lin Bin and Ye Hao glanced at each other.

As the first person to eat locusts, Lin Bin can responsibly say that ignoring its appearance, the taste is still good.

And from yesterday to now, he has not appeared in any discomfort. Don't forget, he's still a complete patient!

Compared with Lin Bin's trust, Ye Hao was full of surprise, but she didn't expect the problem to be here.

She did bring up the idea that people can eat locusts yesterday, but she didn't expect it to spread the word, after all, she couldn't even eat it herself.

I didn't expect that someone would get sick because of this, this ...... It's her responsibility.

"I'll go with you to the county office."

Saying helplessly, Ye Hao gently pulled away Lin Bin's figure.

As soon as these words came out, except for a few officials and Lin Bin at the scene, everyone else was stunned.

Could it be that Mrs. Xie really made people eat locusts?!

Not to mention the villagers, Xie Yunshu's jaw dropped in shock.
