"Hiss, what's that smell? Why is it so fragrant?"

"Who knows? I was hungry before, and now I'm even hungrier."

"Me too, it smells so good. I'm so hungry!"

"Hey, look, isn't someone cooking over there?"

All eyes looked over at the same time.

As more and more locusts were fried, the fragrance spread farther, and gurgling sounds were heard among the crowd.

"My lords, how does it taste?"

Zheng Shao, Sun Biao, Wu Zhen and others who were busy eating locusts, looked at the girl in front of them and felt mixed emotions.

Having tasted locusts, they certainly knew what this meant, and their minds started working quickly.

Now people all think that the locust plague is a punishment sent by God. Suddenly someone tells them that locusts not only destroy crops but can also become food for people. This news is absolutely shocking.

What's more, the locust plague has already broken out, and the entire Qingshan Prefecture cannot be avoided.

The people are displaced, and if the situation is not handled properly, there will be civil unrest.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was not strong from the beginning, and the surrounding countries were eyeing it covetously. If it were not for the Third Prince, the god of war, the enemy's iron hoofs would have stepped on the territory of the Great Zhou long ago.

People have always held a hostile attitude towards locusts.

But now Li Mengyue has used actual actions to let them know that locusts are not only edible, but also taste good.

Looking at the eyes around him, his hands moved faster than his brain and he grabbed another handful of golden fried locusts.

"Hmm, this crispy texture is amazing."

Zheng Shaoming, if he wants everyone to accept bombing locusts, he must set a good example.

Only he, the county magistrate, was not afraid and dared to eat the locusts. Only then did the people dare to believe him and suppress the fear brought to them by the locusts.

However, he did not mind taking the lead in the show, but instead felt a sense of excitement.

After all, what he did was a historical first, changing people's perception of locusts, subverting tradition, and making locusts a food on people's tables.

What's more, fried locusts are not unpalatable at all, on the contrary they taste surprisingly good.

Especially the spicy fried locusts, he never gets tired of eating them. If eaten with a little wine, it is absolutely delicious.

When the people of Lanlong County saw the caterpillars in their own county eating locusts, expressions of horror appeared on their faces.

"Look, isn't Master Zheng eating locusts?"

After saying this, he was still a little bit unbelieving. He rubbed his eyes and confirmed it again.

"Oh my god, can locusts be eaten?"

"Hiss~"

"Lord Zheng hates locusts so much that he dares to eat them."

"Oh, that's nothing. Every household in our village eats locusts every day."

The person who said this was Wang Erniu, who was maintaining order nearby. He couldn't help but speak when he heard the conversation in the crowd.

"Little brother, did I hear correctly? Everyone in your village eats locusts?"

"That's fake. Who would eat locusts every day? He must be joking."

"Yes, let's not believe it. It's more important to queue up to sell locusts."

…

Wang Erniu saw that no one believed what he said, so he hurriedly said, "You don't believe what I say, but you all saw clearly that Lord Zheng ate locusts."
