Zheng Shao glanced at Jiang Zhong sideways, meaning, if you think locusts are inedible, why are you staring at them?

However, Zheng Shao also knew the priorities of the matter. The most important thing at the moment was to make the people accept that locusts were edible and could be used as food, so he did not bother with Jiang Zhong anymore.

But he couldn't swallow this humiliation and wanted to give a light punishment and a severe warning.

He ate five locusts in a row before saying slowly, "Lieutenant Jiang."

"I'm here."

"In consideration of your unintentional mistake, I will punish you by making you take fried locusts and go spread the word to the people that locusts are edible."

"Yes, sir."

Jiang Zhong immediately accepted the punishment and ran happily to the basket containing the locusts.

Mengyue understood what Zheng Shao meant and asked someone to bring three small bamboo baskets to Jiang Zhong.

Each small bamboo basket is filled with fried locusts, each with a different flavor.

Then the people who sold locusts saw this scene.

County Lieutenant Jiang, who had been trying hard to persuade Lord Zheng not to eat locusts, now came towards them with three small backpacks and ate fried locusts.

Not to mention that County Captain Jiang ate so happily, they also felt hungry.

"Hey, you say, are locusts really edible?"

"That's not all. Didn't you see that not only was Lord Zheng eating, but others were eating too."

"If that's the case, then we can eat the locusts we catch."

"Of course, but I think it's more practical to exchange it for money."

"Me too. No matter what, it's better to buy food."

At this time, Jiang Zhongzheng came here and heard everyone's conversation. Without saying a word, he caught five locusts.

"One for each of you, let's taste it."

These people saw that the county magistrate was eating, and they said what was going on, but their hands did not slow down at all.

He picked up one and ate it, then stared at Jiang Zhong after finishing it.

Jiang Zhong felt uneasy when he saw Chi Yi's eyes, and hurried forward.

"Lieutenant Jiang, I ate too fast just now and couldn't taste it. Give me another one."

"Me too. I want one too."

"And me."

Jiang Zhong looked at the rather large number of locusts in the small bamboo basket and thought to himself that they were not enough for him to eat, so he gave them to you. What are you dreaming of?

But at this moment, Jiang Zhong's eyes and mind were full of exploding locusts, and he had no memory of the task assigned to him by Lord Zheng.

But the people who had eaten fried locusts thought that it was just a locust, and County Magistrate Jiang would definitely not bother with them.

So when Jiang Zhong didn't offer anything, everyone took action.

"Hey, don't grab it, don't grab it, leave one for me!"

"Ah, I haven't eaten any yet. I want to try some too."

"I want to eat too."

Jiang Zhong underestimated the hungry man. He was still holding the fragrant fried locusts and wandering around. If he didn't grab it, who would he grab?

After a moment, the three small backpacks were empty.

Jiang Zhong was dumbfounded. Only one locust leg was still dangling on the backpack, as if mocking his incompetence.

Those who got the locusts were grinning from ear to ear, while those who didn't got any looked like they had lost a hundred million. They completely forgot that the locusts were not theirs at all.
