Having eaten rat meat before, Lu Yu was the first to pick up a spicy fried locust and put it in his mouth.
Unexpectedly, the taste was spicy and delicious, and the locust meat was very tender.
My neighbor seems to have a magical power that can make everything delicious.
Xiao Chuxia also chose spicy stir-fried locusts.
"It's delicious! Miss, do you have rice? I can have a big bowl!"
Jiang Fei went to the kitchen to serve a bowl for Xiao Chuxia, and also brought some for Lu Yu and Su Liuyuan.
Su Liuyuan had been bitten by a locust and was afraid to eat.
After a moment's hesitation, I chose the batter-wrapped fried locusts.
With the slightly spicy and salty flavor of pepper and salt, it felt like eating crispy pork. Su Liuyuan's eyes lit up:
"I didn't expect that locusts, though ugly, taste so delicious."
Su Liuyuan couldn't stop eating, one after another. Suddenly he paused and looked at Lu Yu:
"I heard some gossip in the store today."
"Some people say that you were promoted so quickly by currying favor with the captain and living off his wife."
"He also made up a story, saying that you were a gigolo before the apocalypse, earning 10,000 yuan a night, which was very cheap."
Xiao Chuxia: "I also heard other people talking about Brother Lu's promotion in the hospital. It was similar to Su Liuyuan's version, all derogatory."
"Why did this rumor suddenly appear? Is someone targeting Brother Lu?"
Jiang Fei recalled carefully.
The enemies are basically dead, so there is no possibility of implicating teammates.
Lu Yu's eyes turned cold: "I will find time to investigate this matter."
He didn't care about people spreading rumors about him, but he was afraid that the other party would deal with his neighbors next.
After eating the locust dinner, Jiang Fei went back upstairs to take down three helmets.
"When you go out, wear a helmet and the winter clothes I gave you."
Protective equipment is troublesome to wear, one piece on the left and one piece on the right. It is not as convenient as a helmet, which can protect the entire head.
Cold-proof clothing is safer than medical protective clothing and can also protect the neck.
It is better to get heat rash from the heat than to be bitten by locusts all over the body.
Lu Yu and the other two cleaned up the table, then put on their helmets and left after taking protective measures.
A few locusts flew in while the door was open.
Jiang Fei did not use a flamethrower, but released the chicks and geese to test their fighting ability.
Before he could give any orders, the boss flapped his wings, grabbed a locust in his mouth and swallowed it.
The second and third children were also excited to catch locusts and eat them.
The fourth one is very cunning and follows the three little chickens to pick up the leftovers.
In less than five minutes, all the locusts in the yard were cleared out.
No wonder the country used poultry to control locust plagues in the past. Their fighting power is quite impressive!
Jiang Fei didn't plan to keep the chicks and geese in captivity anymore.
Open the cage door and let them move freely in the yard to eat the locusts that sneak in.
As for Dahuang, he was too timid and had to be locked in the house. Jiang Fei also installed curtains in the cat room to prevent the cub from being scared by locusts again.
The next morning, the intercom that Jiang Fei placed next to his pillow rang.
It’s Xu Qianyao.
"The authorities ordered us to catch locusts, but we are short on manpower, so temporary workers have to go to work too."
"I'll wait for you at your door. Remember to take insect-proof measures."
"Locust bites are extremely painful and can easily cause inflammation."
Jiang Fei replied "Okay" and got up with a sigh.
Once you start working, you will be a worker for life!
Complaining in his heart, Jiang Fei washed up as quickly as possible and put on his helmet and cold-proof clothes.
A thickened one-piece raincoat was also worn over the clothes.
Grab the flamethrower, open the door and go out.
The number of locusts outside has not decreased at all. They are flying around in swarms, which makes people feel claustrophobic.
Jiang Fei felt locusts crawling on his body through his clothes, and used a flamethrower to drive them away in disgust.
Don't get close to her!
Finally finding a police car parked on the side of the road, Jiang Fei drove away the locusts around him, quickly opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.
The main driver, Xu Qianyao, was wearing camouflage combat uniform and a mesh trash can on his head.
The area where the eyes are is specially hollowed out and a pair of transparent goggles are installed.
When Jiang Fei saw a small peace festival hanging at the bottom of the trash can, he knew that it was made by Grandma Xu for Xu Qianyao.
Seeing that Jiang Fei was wearing a helmet, which was both handsome and insect-proof, Xu Qianyao was full of envy.
"Do you have any extra helmets?"
"I'll trade you a combat uniform."
Xu Qianyao pointed at the clothes he was wearing. "They're made of special material, cut-proof and puncture-proof. Only the official members of the rescue team have them."
Jiang Fei's heart was moved.
Isn't this better than winter clothes?
"Five sets, two in women's sizes, three in men's sizes, and I'll give you a box of eggs."
Eggs can provide nutrition for grandma, Xu Qianyao readily agreed.
The two agreed to come back to pick it up after get off work in the evening, drive to the residential area, and meet up with other team members.
There are no more residents going out on the streets.
Yin Jing had already arrived at the assembly point in a military truck.
The regular team members wore the same combat uniforms as Xu Qianyao, while the temporary workers wore protective clothing and raincoats.
Everyone wore gloves and protective rubber shoes.
There are two types of head protection.
One is a homemade mesh trash can like the one Xu Qianyao wore.
The other type is a stainless steel basin on the head with a circle of plastic cloth stuck to the edge of the basin and two tiny holes dug for ventilation.
Wrap tape around your chest under the plastic sheet to protect your neck and above.
Xu Qianyao raised his handheld loudspeaker and said:
"The patrol team is responsible for searching for locust eggs and destroying them, while we are responsible for catching the locusts and distributing instructions for eating them to every household."
