After eating the fried locusts, the people all praised them highly.
"I didn't expect locusts to be edible and taste so good."
"Hey, didn't you see that locusts are fried in oil? Who would be willing to fry them in oil?"
Everyone agreed when they heard this. They seldom ate stir-fried dishes. Even if they ate them occasionally, they would only use a small amount of oil. It was considered good enough if there were some oil droplets floating in the soup.
Even so, they were still very happy. After all, locusts could not only be sold for money, but also eaten as food. This was really the best news for them since they learned about the locust plague.
When everyone was happy that the locusts were edible, Jiang Zhong returned to his hometown with three empty little backpacks.
Zheng Shao was already full by now, and because he had eaten too much, he couldn't help burping.
"Burp~"
"Burp~"
"Burp~"
"Sir, the task you assigned to me is complete."
"So soon, why do you look so bad?"
Jiang Zhong felt sad because he hadn't eaten much before they were all snatched away.
"Sir, the robbery is over, the robbery is over."
"Just grab it, why are you crying? We still have a lot, let you eat as much as you want."
"But this isn't made by Miss Li, can I eat it?"
"Dang."
Zheng Shao agreed to Jiang Zhong and turned to look at Li Mengyue.
"Right, Miss Li."
Li Mengyue saw a middle-aged man in Jiangzhong who looked so aggrieved that he almost cried because his things were stolen. She thought it was too irritating and continued, "You can eat it. It's here for everyone to eat."
Jiang Zhong got a positive answer and without any psychological burden, he quickly walked to the fried locusts, grabbed the fried locusts with one hand and put them into his mouth with the other hand.
My goodness, he looked like a beggar who hadn’t eaten in hundreds of lives.
Zheng Shaoqi then turned his head away, telling everyone a message: I don’t know this good-for-nothing, don’t look at me, don’t look at me.
Thanks to Jiang Zhong's publicity, people all knew that locusts were edible.
Li Mengyue struck while the iron was hot and said loudly: "Everyone can come and try it to see how it tastes."
boom!
These words were like thunder, hitting the crowd, and they all ran towards the locust bombing.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Are there any rules? Line up! Whoever dares not to line up will be disqualified from eating locusts for free."
"You, I'm talking about you. If that auntie comes out, you don't have to queue anymore. Your qualification is cancelled."
"Ah, why? I'm not the only one squeezing there."
The great god who was named was not convinced and tried to escape from Li Youliang, got into the crowd and lined up as usual.
Zheng Shao saw this scene, and his face suddenly became unhappy.
In front of several county magistrates, Miss Li and the people of Qingshan Town, he felt embarrassed that the people under his rule were so unruly.
He immediately issued an order that anyone who cut in line or forced their way forward would have their locusts caught no longer collected.
The crowd that was pushing forward heard no locusts, and the huge place suddenly became as quiet as a chicken.
Looking at the crowds queuing up, Zhou Juan stood in front and arranged for the locusts to be distributed, comforting everyone: "Don't worry, everyone can eat."
An hour later, the people who had eaten their fill no longer had the depressed and desperate look on their faces. They were motivated to catch locusts again and were full of fighting spirit and hope.
The people became so excited and happy that they were like sparks of vitality, with crystal lights shining in their eyes, and their joy and anticipation were beyond words.
"What are you waiting for? Those who are not in line should hurry up and catch locusts. Whether you want to sell them or eat them, you can't sit idle."
