Chapter 147: The Best of Both Worlds

Lu Yuan didn't wake up Gu Qingwan, but got out of bed cautiously.

Until now, Lu Yuan still thought.

Maybe it was too tired yesterday.

That's why Gu Qingwan slept so dead.

Lu Yuan walked out of the room, and it happened that Su Liyan from the next room also walked out.

"Husband, what are we going to do today?"

After Su Liyan saw Lu Yuan, she asked with some doubts.

"Today, look for food."

Lu Yuan responded decisively.

"Looking for food?"

Su Liyan was a little puzzled.

Now they are in a drought and locusts.

In this kind of place, not to mention food, even if you can find a grass, it should be a miracle.

"Where to go?"

Su Liyan responded.

"Didn't the officials say yesterday that there are locusts in the county now?"

"Then let's go and see what the situation of this locust is."

Lu Yuan smiled indifferently, shook his neck from side to side and explained.

"Okay, listen to you."

Su Liyan didn't have too many doubts.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan cleaned up the room and prepared their things.

At this time, Gu Qingwan had just woken up.

It's just that, early in the morning, the always active officials.

They didn't even bring them breakfast.

Lu Yuan didn't think too much about it.

Maybe it was too rich last night, and I don't know what to prepare for breakfast.

Or perhaps, the officials may have gone out and been busy.

"What did you all do last night?"

"This Qingwan girl, why hasn't she woken up yet?"

When Su Liyan saw Gu Qingwan, who was still asleep, she asked with some doubts.

"I didn't do anything, I ate and went straight to sleep."

"But it's strange to say, I don't sleep well."

"But last night I slept very steadily, and I slept straight until dawn, you said it was magical."

Lu Yuan showed a smile and told him about his situation yesterday.

"It's magical, it's magical."

Su Liyan replied.

"Okay, let's not think about this for now, let Qingwan sleep alone."

"Let's go to the place where there are locusts."

Lu Yuan paused, turned around and prepared to leave.

Su Liyan didn't continue to say anything.

followed closely behind Lu Yuan.

Anyway, I will stay in this county for a long time after that.

So it doesn't matter what you do on the first day.

Taking advantage of the early morning, it is better to observe the specific situation of the county.

Lu Yuan walked out of the county seat and came to the crop field.

From afar, I saw locusts flying in the sky.

And the surrounding trees and plants have been eaten clean by those locusts.

It's just that those locusts don't seem to want to leave for the time being.

And, looking at the speed at which those locusts are flying, it seems that they are still very active.

"Now that this is the case, it is a miracle that these locusts can still survive."

Su Liyan looked at the situation in front of her and explained.

"Maybe fly away in a few days."

Lu Yuan replied simply.

"By the way, husband, didn't you say that you came to look for food?"

Su Liyan suddenly remembered what Lu Yuan had said before.

Lu Yuan didn't answer Su Liyan for the first time, but was indifferent.

After that, Su Liyan saw that Lu Yuan took out a net-like thing from his pocket.

Lu Yuan waved the net pocket in his hand in front of Su Liyan.

Because there were a lot of locusts in the air, Lu Yuan just waved it casually.

And he caught a bag of locusts.

"Husband, there are so many locusts here."

"Just relying on this kind of grasping, it can't be caught."

Seeing Lu Yuan's actions, Su Liyan was a little incomprehensible.

Subconsciously, he just thought that Lu Yuan wanted to catch the locusts in this way.

However, Su Liyan misunderstood.

Lu Yuan caught these locusts, but he didn't want to drive them away.

Rather, they want to eat them.

Lu Yuan knew it clearly in his heart.

This locust is a delicacy.

Add a little salt and fry until golden brown, the taste, dry and crispy.

"That's what I'm talking about."

After Lu Yuan grabbed some, he turned to look at Su Liyan and explained.

"Is this food?"

Su Liyan was a little incomprehensible.

"It may seem strange to you now, but when I get it done, you'll understand."

Lu Yuan said, turned around and walked towards the county seat.

The food is ready, and the next thing is to go back and make the food.

If the officials don't prepare breakfast for themselves, then Lu Yuan can only do it himself and have enough food and clothing.

Su Liyan followed behind Lu Yuan, always thinking of doubts.

After returning to the official's mansion, Gu Qingwan had already gotten up.

"Where have you been? I was nowhere to be seen early in the morning. ”

When Gu Qingwan saw Lu Yuan coming back, she was slightly blamed.

But more, still worried.

"Breakfast, of course."

Lu Yuan responded with a smile.

"Breakfast?"

Gu Qingwan was puzzled.

"It's the locusts."

Su Liyan told the truth of the matter.

"Huh? Locust? ”

Hearing the locusts, Gu Qingwan showed a disdainful gaze.

Gu Qingwan was still more afraid of those little bugs.

Hearing that these locusts were still her breakfast, Gu Qingwan immediately had a psychology of resistance.

"That thing is so scary, can you eat it?"

Gu Qingwan looked at Lu Yuan in front of her.

"It's edible, and it's delicious."

Lu Yuan responded and began to look for something in the car.

"Eat it, I won't eat it."

"I'm going to eat the instant noodles we prepared earlier."

Gu Qingwan should drink.

Lu Yuan didn't say much.

After all, what you eat or not, what you like to eat, others may not like to eat.

Therefore, Lu Yuan didn't pay attention to them.

Instead, heat the oil on the spot.

During this period of burning oil, Lu Yuan also took out the salt he had prepared before.

The locusts were cleaned and thrown directly into the salt.

After the oil pot boiled, Lu Yuan threw the prepared locusts into the oil pot again.

Suddenly, there was a crackling sound in the oil pot.

Su Liyan stood in the distance, quietly watching Lu Yuan's actions.

It was just a moment of effort, and the fragrance in the oil pot came to my nose.

"So fragrant?"

Su Liyan took two sharp breaths of air.

After about a while, Lu Yuan scooped up the locusts in the oil pot.

Place on a plate.

After that, Lu Yuan took some cumin chili seasoning.

When you're ready, you can't wait to put one in your mouth and start chewing.

"yes, that's right, that's what it tastes like."

"I didn't expect to be able to eat such food here."

Lu Yuan muttered to himself with a happy face.

And Su Liyan, who was standing in the distance, saw Lu Yuan's actions, and his face showed a puzzled look.

This thing does smell good.

But for the sake of locusts.

Su Liyan couldn't imagine that this thing could still be eaten?

Watching Lu Yuan eat one after another, he was also full of curiosity.

"Lingju, don't be stunned, come and have a taste."

Lu Yuan knew that Su Liyan and Gu Qingwan were two people.

If you don't want to eat it, then it's useless for anyone to say.

In desperation, he could only call out to the spirit jull standing in the distance.

Lingju is still relatively stupid, stupid.

No matter what Lu Yuan asked her to do, she would generally not refuse.

Hearing Lu Yuan shouting to himself, Lingju walked quickly to Lu Yuan's side.

After receiving the locust handed over by Lu Yuan, Lingju did not hesitate at all, and threw it directly into his mouth.

Lingju chewed, and after a long time, he smiled happily.

"Wow, it's delicious."

This is the specific answer given by the Lingju.

Seeing Lingju say the same, Su Liyan began to mumble in her heart.

"Does this stuff taste good?"

Gu Qingwan on the other side, holding instant noodles in her hand, her face full of suspicion.

Su Liyan was the first to be unable to bear the curiosity in her heart.

walked to Lu Yuan's side, then pinched a locust and carefully put it in his mouth.

Just the moment the locust enters its mouth.

The expression on Su Liyan's face was still embarrassed.

It seems that eating locusts is a painful thing for her.

Soon, though.

As Su Liyan began to chew, the scent of locusts instantly filled Su Liyan's mouth.

An unprecedented fragrance attracted the nerves of Su Liyan's whole body.

"It's really delicious!"

Su Liyan's eyes widened instantly.

Hearing Su Liyan say the same, Gu Qingwan in the distance couldn't sit still.

Immediately afterwards, Su Liyan, Lingju, and Lu Yuan sat at the table.

You eat the locusts on the plate one bite at a time.

While the locusts were about to be eaten.

Gu Qingwan couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart.

Hurriedly rushed to the table.

Pinch a locust and put it in your mouth.

Suddenly, Gu Qingwan's face was suddenly filled with a happy smile.

"No, this little bug is so delicious?"

Gu Qingwan said, pinched another one and began to eat.

The more you eat this thing, the more addictive it becomes.

Can't stop at all.

Just when Gu Qingwan was about to eat the third, she found that the locusts on the plate had already been eaten.

"Why do you eat so fast?"

Gu Qingwan didn't eat it at first, but now she began to question the few people in front of her.

"Sister Qingwan, you didn't eat it at first."

"We won't miss something so delicious."

Su Liyan explained with a smile.

"Well, it's delicious."

Lingju couldn't help but praise at this moment.

"Gee, I'm just saying it casually."

"Husband, why don't we catch some more."

"I haven't eaten yet, so I don't have it."

Gu Qingwan was sitting next to Lin Xiaodong at the moment and began to shake his arm.

"There's no rush for this."

"I just wanted to try it and see if these locusts tasted the same as what I was thinking."

"Now we can have a better solution."

Lu Yuan smiled indifferently and told his inner thoughts.

"Huh? A better solution? What is it? ”

Su Liyan was a little puzzled.

"What do you think we're missing the most right now?"

Lu Yuan glanced at the people in front of him and asked.

"Water and food."

Su Liyan replied.

"That's right, now the problem of everyone's food is solved."

"For the rest, I just need to find water."

Lu Yuan responded indifferently.

And that's when everyone understood.

It turned out that Lu Yuan didn't catch these locusts for breakfast alone.

It's about having a bigger plan.

What was once a disaster locust has now become the best medicine for drought.

"That's right, tell the people of the county town that these locusts can be eaten."

"Then their food problem can be almost half solved."

Su Liyan clapped her hands and thought of this instantly.

"It's not enough to just tell them, they don't know how to sort it out."

"We have to put things back in front of them and let them taste them."

"Then I'm letting them get the food themselves."

Lu Yuan nodded slightly, and then told his plan.

"I think so."

Su Liyan nodded and agreed with Lu Yuan's method.

"Then let's do it today."

Just do it, as soon as the plan was discussed, Lu Yuan began to implement it.

Lu Yuan took Su Liyan to catch locusts, while Gu Qingwan and Lingju were responsible for placing them in the middle of the county.

Those tools needed to fry locusts.

In addition, there will be some disturbances, so that all the people who stay at home will come out.

After the preparation was completed, Lu Yuan began to follow the old routine before.

And then cooking caught those locusts.

At first, only one or two people watched.

After that, as the aroma in the pot gets stronger and stronger.

And the people who were round about were also multiplied.

The big guy was already hungry, and after smelling the fragrance, he was even more hungry and thirsty.

As soon as the locusts were exploded, the people rushed up.

Before Lu Yuan could introduce him, the two plates of locusts were swept away.

Originally, Lu Yuan thought that these people in front of him.

They will be afraid of these locusts, so they will not eat them directly.

Now it seems that maybe I was thinking too much.

In this way, more and more people surrounded him.

Almost the entire county surrounded them.

Lu Yuan shared all the prepared locusts with the people in front of him.

"Big guy, do you think this bug is delicious?"

Lu Yuan was at the end, standing tall, looking at the people in front of him and asked.

"It's totally delicious! I've never eaten anything so delicious. ”

"Yes! It's better than those delicacies from the mountains and the sea. ”

"If there were more, it would be great."

The people below began to praise one after another.

"These insects are the locusts that are making noise in the crop fields right now."

At this moment, Lu Yuan told the real situation.

"Locusts?"

"This turned out to be locusts?"

"yes, can you eat that?"

"As far as you had the happiest meal just now, I don't think you're okay."

I heard that it was locusts, and it was even more lively below.

"In my way, I can solve your current food problem."

Lu Yuan said, and told him what he had just done again.

It's just that these methods are very simple, but the materials needed for these people can't be found at all!

Lu Yuan seemed to have thought of this a long time ago, so he specially informed Lu Xi's people.

Overnight, they sent condiments and oil to this side.

In just one day, Lu Yuan almost solved the problem of food for the people.

In this way, the plague of locusts has been indirectly curbed.
