Chapter 123 Other Ways

But this girl didn’t even have any time to react, and the straw pole actually ignited directly.

For a moment, everyone was very curious.

Although He Chaoci didn't know what the other party was using, he was already accustomed to the rare objects that Chi Ying could bring out from time to time.

After all, compared with those electric lamps that are brighter than night pearls, and compared with other things in the restaurant, this thing is even more insignificant.

"She has something in her hand!"

Suddenly, someone shouted, pointing at Chi Ying's right hand and staring at it.

Chi Ying suddenly raised her eyes and saw everyone in front of her staring at her without blinking.

She smiled and instantly understood what everyone was thinking.

She found a high position, held up the hem of her clothes, and stood up slowly.

Seeing this, He Chaoci naturally helped her arm to prevent her from falling.

After standing firm, Chi Ying took the thing in her hand and waved it in front of everyone, "This thing in my hand is called a lighter."

The crowd instantly became confused, and they all squeezed forward, trying to see what she was holding clearly. What does it look like?

"What is this? I've never heard of it."

Someone couldn't help but whispered, and it fell into Chi Ying's ears.

Chi Ying put it away, clapped her hands, and said loudly to everyone: "I researched this myself, but it will be somewhat harmful, but I have another thing here that you may be interested in."

She said Without explaining too much, except for her and He Chaoci, the secret of coming to the restaurant, no one would believe it even if she told it to anyone else.

After all, this thing does sound unrealistic, even science fiction.

As she spoke, she took out a box of matches from another pocket, and then took out a small stick in front of everyone.

Immediately afterwards, he quickly lit it, and within a while, the match was completely consumed.

Everyone watched helplessly as this white and clean thing suddenly lit up a fire, and everyone was very surprised.

Chi Ying raised her eyebrows at He Chaoci beside him, and He Chaoci immediately understood what she meant.

He just nodded slightly towards her, which was regarded as acquiescence.

Chi Ying was overjoyed instantly. Sure enough, with her, making money in ancient times was as easy as breathing.

She waved her hand directly and said, "Don't worry, everyone. After this locust plague passes, I will send one box to each of your families, no, ten boxes."

Chi Ying smiled happily and raised his eyebrows slightly. Pick, the corners of the mouth slightly raised.

"Ten boxes?"

Someone in the crowd kept making questioning sounds.

It's no wonder that they don't believe Chi Ying, this matter is really too unbelievable.

Even if a piece of this kind of thing sells for a hundred taels of silver, it is a matter of course.

Moreover, I am afraid that only the rich and powerful in the capital can afford it.

They definitely can't afford it.

But now, someone actually told them that not only can they afford it now, but they can also put ten boxes at home at one time?

How could they not be excited about this?

Chi Ying knew that the other party would not completely believe what he said now, so he did not continue the discussion with him.

She walked down with her clothes in hand, and then her eyes fell on the pile of straw straws in front of her.

By chance, a breeze blew by, blowing the thick smoke to the direction in which the locusts were flying.

A large swarm of locusts was flying towards this direction, but suddenly they were swept away by a puff of smoke.

Large numbers of locusts were also forced to change direction.

He Chaoci's eyes lit up, this trick really worked!

He turned sideways and said to Chi Ying on the side: "Although this method is effective, we don't have much straw left at home. Besides, after the locusts flew away, it was only temporary. If they come back again, we will But there are no straws to burn again."

As a large number of locusts flew away, some locusts fell intermittently.

Chi Ying smiled mysteriously, and the next moment, she leaned closer to He Chaoci, staring straight ahead. "As long as these locusts can be driven away temporarily, it will be good."

She paused, "On top of the grain that has not been harmed, you can use plant ash and lime to sprinkle on the branches and leaves, so that locusts will not visit."

He Chaoci couldn't help but frowned, "I know about the plant ash, but What is Lime?"

Shi Yi echoed from the side, "Yes, none of the subordinates of Lime have ever heard of it."

Chi Ying pursed her lips and smiled at He Chaoci.

In an instant, He Chaoci understood what was going on.

How could he forget the most important thing? Everything that is not available here can be obtained from Chi Ying.

And he only needs to pay a certain amount of money. For such a cost-effective deal, others would not have the chance to do it even if they wanted to.

He Chaoci looked ahead with complicated eyes. The large area of ​​land gathered here had already been reclaimed.

Every field was full of things, but at this time, the one in the middle was bare, which was in sharp contrast with the surrounding fields.

He sighed softly and looked away, "Actually, there are still some ways to control the locusts, but the main reason now is that the resources are completely insufficient."

Chi Ying blinked and said in a confused tone, "What else is there?"

He Chao Ci thought for a while and then spoke, "Oil and water."

Chi Ying groaned, "It's just these two things. If you want to talk about other things, I might not be able to come up with them, but if you want to talk about oil and water, then It's a must-have for the restaurant, you can have as much as you want."

He Chaoci nodded and decided to follow Chi Ying back to the restaurant to prepare some things so that he could carry out the next thing effectively.

He turned sideways and gave Shi Yi a look, and Shi Yi quickly stepped forward, put his hands on his hips, and suddenly raised his voice, "Everyone, please go back first. The locusts will not come again in a short time. The prince said, you can stay here even if you are here." Stay at home and don't run around. Everything will be arranged before the next locust comes."

"Okay, let's just listen to the adults."

"That's right, everyone should go back and stop causing trouble outside. "Here we go."

Someone in the crowd said a few words, and then the group returned to their homes in an orderly manner.

They knew very well the importance of Congratulations to them.

Nowadays, even if some people are somewhat reluctant to He Chaoci, the reluctance in their hearts was quickly suppressed due to the fact that what the other party did was really for their sake.

After returning to the county government office, He Chaoci quickly entered the study with Chi Ying.
