Chapter 210 Brother, do you want to eat fried locusts?

"Brother, is there anything else you want?"

Zheng Yan's eyes lit up.

The boss used the cigarettes and condoms he had exchanged for the oil press to exchange for a lot of food. Together with the points he had accumulated before, he bought a piece of land and planned to build a villa.

Zheng Yan was jealous and wanted to work hard to accumulate points so that he could build a house and get married.

Meng Ci and Shen Que are their biggest customers.

Meng Ci said: "No."

"I just want to ask you something."

When Zheng Yan heard this, he was depressed for a moment, but soon cheered up.

"Brother, ask me anything. Absolutely no problem."

"I am the know-it-all of the West Mountain Base."

Meng Ci told others about the suspected insects that were found entering the base yesterday, but they were not seen flying out.

"I know about this."

As Zheng Yan spoke, he moved closer to the two of them for fear of being heard by others.

"The bugs that came yesterday were actually locusts, but the authorities seemed to have known that the locusts would come, so they set traps early and caught all the locusts in one fell swoop."

Then Zheng Yan mentioned that some residents in the base had already suspected that the authorities had known that the end of the world would come, and some even suspected that the end of the world was directed by the authorities.

After all, during extreme cold weather, the government asked residents to weave straw sandals, stored snow water, and now harvests crops in advance, leaving a green area to catch locusts.

This reveals the official's foresight and weirdness everywhere.

Meng Ci and Shen Que were not surprised to hear that the authorities suspected they knew about the end of the world.

But when I heard that the end of the world was caused by the official government, I felt that these people have really wild imaginations.

"There will be more extreme weather in the end times. Do they think the authorities are so powerful that they can manipulate nature?" Meng Ci couldn't help but ask.

Zheng Yan shook his head and said, "Who said it wasn't true?"

“But only a few people say this.”

"And they preach that the leader of one country can't do this, so what if all the heads of state on the earth planned this disaster together?"

Meng Ci was speechless, "Did they tell me why the national leaders planned this disaster?"

"Eliminate humanity? Really?"

Zheng Yan spread his hands and shrugged, "Who knows what they are thinking."

"But this matter has nothing to do with us, and most people should just live their lives as usual and just treat this rumor as a joke."

Meng Ci nodded, this was indeed true.

Zheng Yan had just finished speaking seriously when he suddenly started gossiping.

"Brother, do you know what the government is doing when they catch locusts?"

Meng Ci shook his head.

And it was even more impossible for Shen Que to know. After all, in the previous life, the government was completely helpless when facing locusts.

So when locusts came, we could only watch them eat up all the food we had grown with so much effort, and then they ran away.

“They’re here to eat!”

As Zheng Yan spoke, he pointed at a resident who was coming out of the item exchange point.

The resident was holding a bowl filled with golden fried locusts.

As he hadn't eaten meat for a long time, as soon as he came out of the item exchange point, he couldn't wait to pick up a locust with his fingers and put it into his mouth.

He kept chewing with a smile of enjoyment on his face.

Although Meng Ci was far away from the man, he still seemed to hear the crisp sound of chewing locusts.

"Can these locusts be eaten?" Meng Ci asked in disbelief.

Meng Ci couldn't help but sigh that the people in his country really could eat anything.

Compared with the wriggling mealworms, Meng Ci is much more accepting of locusts. After all, after they are fried, they have nothing in common with everyday food.

"Yes, I can eat it!" Zheng Yan nodded affirmatively and patted his stomach.

"In the morning, the boss made me a bowl of fried locusts."

"You have no idea how delicious the locusts taste after being fried and sprinkled with salt, pepper and other seasonings."

While Zheng Yan was speaking, he smacked his lips twice, as if he was savoring the taste of his words.

When Meng Ci heard this, he quickly took two steps back!

This guy actually ate locusts and talked to me so close. It's really scary.

"Brother, do you want to try it?" Zheng Yan asked enthusiastically.

"Don't worry, you don't have to spend any money, I can help you get two copies."

"No need!" Meng Ci quickly refused. He could accept fried locusts, but that didn't mean he could eat them.

"Hey, you're welcome, bro!

"Zheng Yan thought Meng Ci was being polite, so he took out a points card from his pocket.

"Don't worry, brother, I have points!"

Meng Ci took a look at the points card in Zheng Yan's hand, and thought of the card that Zheng Yan had previously pawned with him, and wondered if this guy had used a fake card to cheat him.

When Zheng Yan saw Meng Ci's suspicious expression, he immediately guessed what Meng Ci was thinking.

"Brother, the points card I pawned with you is indeed mine!"

"And the card I'm using now is the boss's points card."

"I can use it at will because the boss went to the points redemption point to grant me permission."

Zheng Yan's boss had to go to another city to help Meng Ci get a flour mill. Considering that Zheng Yan's points card was mortgaged, he might starve if he was away for too long.

The boss took the points card to open the permission, and then handed the card to Zheng Yan.

Zheng Yan's eldest brother, in order to find a flour mill, also took a few brothers and embarked on a long journey this morning.

Meng Ci understood, but he felt that the boss trusted Zheng Yan too much and even gave Zheng Yan the most important points card.

"Brother, it would be a waste if the points in this card are not used."

"I'll go and get you two copies. Wait for me."

After Zheng Yan finished speaking, he quickly ran into the item exchange point, not giving Meng Ci any chance to refuse.

And Shen Que, seeing that Meng Ci looked unhappy, advised: “Xiao Ci, if you don’t like eating locusts, you can take them back to Eggplant and Xiongying.”

Meng Ci nodded and added: "You are responsible for taking that thing back."

Meng Ci said that locusts must not be allowed to pollute the space.

"Okay!" Shen Que agreed.

The authorities had set up a trap long ago, hiding an electric fence in the green plants. When the locusts swarmed towards the green plants, they turned on the electricity, and then all the locusts were stunned by the electricity.

Immediately afterwards, the authorities set up an oil pan and fried all the locusts before they could react.

For ten points, you can get a pound of fried locusts.

Although locusts are small, they are meaty and therefore loved by many residents.

After a while, Zheng Yan brought out two bowls of locusts.

"Two big brothers, eat quickly!"

"I didn't take the locusts when I went in just now. These two bowls were mortgaged with points, and I have to return them later!"

Meng Ci found it difficult to resist Zheng Yan's enthusiasm.

"No, I don't eat this." Meng Ci refused again.
