Chapter 5 A Mountain Is Taller Than a Mountain
The sunlight faintly reflected the edge of the clouds.
The breath exhaled from his mouth still glowed a little white.
But Lin Wan was only wearing a short coat, sweating profusely, moving in and out.
"Sister, what is Xianggong moving?"
"I don't know, it seems to be those tools, and a big bamboo cage?"
"Shall we help? After all, he is a ...... of the prime minister."
"I don't know, listen to my sister, right?"
Everyone turned their attention to Nie Shuyan, who was speechless.
At this moment, Nie Shuyan's mood is also very complicated.
knew that the man was doing something in vain, but looking at his insistence, he unconsciously shook her heart.
In the past, when she was in power step by step, wasn't she like today, knowing that she couldn't do it.
You can only move forward, not retreat!
"Let's go, we have to work together to be energetic!"
……
The women took the tools in Lin Wan's hands and followed his instructions and went about their jobs.
The bold old five tore off the locust's wings and washed them three or four times with water slurry before they were fished out and drained.
The second and third children took tools in the shape of big gourds and went to the nearby farmland, and according to Lin Wan's instructions, they easily strangled the locusts that made people smell and change color.
The bold old four went door to door to borrow a little oil, which is the key to whether they can attract "customers".
Nie Shuyan was in charge of the overall situation, and by the way, she helped Lin Wan pour the moldy and green-looking liquid into the reed poles.
As soon as the sun jumped above the horizon, the industrious villagers had already begun to work.
But today, everyone was attracted to Lin Wan's house by a strange fragrance.
"This, Wanzi, what are you frying on this big stone?"
"Wanzi, you kid is really good, married five fairy-like beauties, and are you willing to let the beauties work?"
"Wanzi, can you eat this thing?"
When the bold villagers approached, they were immediately shocked and retreated: "Mom! Wanzi, what are you frying for? Locusts, locusts? ”
No wonder they were surprised.
In Da Ge, locusts are extremely difficult to get rid of, and under word of mouth, everyone feels that this is "heavenly punishment"
No one ever thought of stir-frying locusts to eat!
After all, you can't even catch this thing!
But Lin Wan not only caught it, but also caught so many at once!
"Wanzi, do you do this, without fear of the punishment of the gods, and send more locusts to eat our grain?"
An elderly villager shuddered.
"Don't be afraid!"
The bold old five, revealing two deep pear vortices, grabbed the fragrant locusts fried at hand, and showed off them in one bite.
"It's meaty, it's chewy, it's delicious!"
Lao Wu said while commenting.
Everyone got up early to work in the fields, and they were hungry
At this time, when I smell the aroma of fried locusts, my stomach is already ready to move.
Coupled with the personal demonstration of the fifth child, the bold villager couldn't help but step forward and take one: "Then, let me taste it?" ”
Lin Wan smiled and acquiesced.
It's just that the villager took a few bites, and the original hesitant action slowly sped up: "It's delicious!" It's delicious! Mom, I haven't eaten meat in a long time, it's so crispy and juicy! ”
At this moment, the villagers were completely moved
"Wanzi, how are you selling locusts?"
"I want to know how Wanzi caught so many locusts! Teach me, the food in my field is almost ruined! ”
"Yes, Wanzi, how did the six of you get these things back?"
……
After being stimulated by the fact that "locusts can eat", everyone slowly returned to reality.
Lin Wan made a quiet gesture and motioned for everyone to listen to him.
"Actually, this is the method taught to me by an old Taoist who passed by yesterday."
"He said that locusts are not a punishment from heaven, they are rations given to us by God, but we don't know how to use them, so he taught me how to blow up locusts."
"These locusts I got down today, the big guys can eat them as they like, they are available in unlimited quantities, and the method is very simple, just ask my fifth child for advice when you go back!"
Nie Shuyan listened to his statement, and her brows furrowed more and more.
Fried locusts for villagers to eat as they please?
So what are they busy for so long?
This guy is just a fool!
But looking at the villagers quietly listening to Lin Wan's statement one by one, a strange feeling rose in Nie Shuyan's heart.
It's like having honor, but with deep curiosity.
What kind of game is this man arranging?
Someone had already rushed to Lao Wu's side and feasted on it.
Others kept urging Lin Wan to tell him how to catch the locusts.
Lin Wan scratched his hair in embarrassment, and said loudly: "Everyone knows that our Da Ge is now suffering from locusts, I followed the guidance of the old way and studied in the opposite direction, so I made this potion to restrain locusts, and it will not affect our eating locusts." ”
"Originally, I only wanted to experiment by myself, but everyone is from the same village, you have spoken, how can I be embarrassed to refuse."
"Well, I only have fifty potions in my hand now, so I'll charge everyone a cost. The potion only costs you two pennies, and all the locusts you shoot down are handed over to me. ”
"If you want to keep the locusts to eat, then charge three pennies for medicine, I can lend the tools to everyone for free, if there is accidental damage, then pay for the tools, or pay out of your own pocket to find a carpenter to fight one!"
After listening to Lin Wan's pricing, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.
Only buy potions, leave the locusts to eat by themselves, you need three words.
If you give the locusts that were shot down to Lin Wan, the potion will only cost two pennies!
This pricing is really close to the people!
It's only two or three cents, and I bought a piece of maltose for the baby at home to eat.
Nie Shuyan frowned, pulled the corner of Lin Wan's clothes and reminded, "This price, isn't it too low?" Also, what do we need so many locusts for? Even if we eat, we can't eat that much! ”
The price of Dage is 6 wen a pound for sorghum flour and 15 wen a pound for white flour.
According to Lin Wan's pharmaceutical speed, he can't earn 30 buckets of rice in five days!
Besides, what do they want so many locusts for, and they can't exchange money!
Lin Wan just smiled at Nie Shuyan.
He immediately turned around and told the villagers loudly: "My lady thinks the price I set is too low. ”
"It's true that the price of two or three cents is low, but who am I selling? It's my parents and folks who have watched me grow up! ”
"Although I and the ladies have been grinding our hands to make potions, as long as we can do something for everyone, it will be worth it!"
"Two or three pennies, you can't buy a loss, you can't be fooled, not only can you fight locusts, but you can also give the children in the family as a zero!"
"There are only fifty of them, family, first come, first served!"
As soon as a few words came out, the villagers suddenly became enthusiastic:
"Bring me five, I have a lot of land!"
"I, Wanzi, we have a good relationship, bring me three!"
"Wan boy, you drank my milk when you were a child, bring ten sticks to your aunt!"
……
Everyone was busy in full swing, and suddenly a discordant voice came in.
"I'll give you two hundred papers!"
"It's only fifty sticks, I've got it!"
