“It smells so good!”
“Is this made of grasshoppers?”
Without waiting for Chu Yuan to say anything, Shopkeeper Zhao took the chopsticks from the side and started tasting first.
"It's crispy, crunchy, soft, and sticky, a bit like deep-fried river shrimp, spicy and meaty. Ah Gou, bring me the sauce."
"Okay, boss."
There are many kinds of sauces, including tomato sauce, meat sauce, jam, and even mustard.
"Hmm... Great! This is the taste! I see. The method I've been thinking of is actually going in the opposite direction!"
After some attempts, Shopkeeper Zhao finally put down the chopsticks in his hand.

"Ding! System prompt: NPC Shopkeeper Zhao's favorability towards you has increased by 30 points. Currently, Shopkeeper Zhao's favorability is 43 points."
"Xiaoxiang Yeyu, you've done a great service! Come on, let's go see the village chief!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yuan was caught by Manager Zhao and rushed to where Fu Yin was.
During this time, there wasn't even a pause!
It seemed that Shopkeeper Zhao had an impulsive personality, but Chu Yuan hadn't felt that way before.
"So, in other words, the biggest reason why Shopkeeper Zhao became so impulsive was because of this dish?"
Looking at the excited and excited Manager Zhao, Chu Yuan muttered to himself.
If successful, the mission will be cancelled!
"Village Chief! Village Chief! Come out quickly!"
"What are you doing? What are you doing? You're yelling and scaring me!"
After a series of knocks, the door finally opened. Fu Yin's clothes seemed a little disheveled.
"Village Chief, um... I found a way to eat grasshoppers! No, to be precise, it was Xiaoxiang Yeyu who found this method!"
After taking a look at Fu Yin's untidy clothes, Manager Zhao was slightly embarrassed and then quickly told him the purpose of his visit.
"Have you found a way to eat grasshoppers?"
"Right! With simple preparation, anyone can easily make this grasshopper, even if they're not a chef! And there are plenty of options for other ingredients!"
"You didn't lie to me? That thing tastes so bad, how can it really be made into a delicacy?"
"I'm not lying. I just ate a lot of it. With different seasonings, it tastes different. I could even say it's a small river shrimp on land!"
"It really works... That's great! With this method, we can deal with the grasshoppers with greater confidence. We absolutely cannot let the people suffer like we did back then!"
"No! If it's the same situation as back then, as long as we handle it properly, we can definitely use those overwhelming grasshoppers as our main food for a while!"
“Main food!”
“That’s right!”
Looking at the excited expressions of the two old men, Chu Yuan became more certain of his judgment.
Those grasshoppers flying around are not just random level 0 monsters!
"Village Chief, Shopkeeper Zhao, are you researching ways to eat these grasshoppers in order to combat the locust plague?"
"Huh? How did you know?"
As he spoke, Fu Yin's eyes suddenly became sharp. This secret was known to only a few people in the village!
"It's not hard to tell. With so many grasshoppers out there, at this rate, it won't be long before a more horrific disaster strikes. Isn't finding a way to eat them just to deal with this?"
Fu Yin's vigilance did not make Chu Yuan angry, especially after seeing the tasks refreshed on the task panel for Fu Yin.

"There's actually a mission with no rewards! A mission exclusive to the village chief?"
Fu Yin frowned, not noticing Chu Yuan's strange expression. If it was discovered so quickly, wouldn't that mean more people would know about it next?
"You've discovered it? That's right, but don't tell anyone about it, or it will cause even greater chaos."
"Village Chief, I think that speaking out about this matter will be more conducive to resolving the issue."
"What do you mean? This is no joke. If something goes wrong, it won't just affect our village!"
"Little earthworm, listen to what my brother has to say first. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Ning Qinglan, dressed in red, also walked out of the room.
