Chapter 79 Villagers line up to sell locusts (2/2)



After all, they also knew that it was not that the Li family got up late, but that they got up too early.

Even during the busy farming season, we don't get up so early.

But as long as they thought about catching locusts in the fields at their doorstep and selling them for money, they were so excited that they couldn't sleep.

Only children sleep in at home. Besides, it is good for children's health if they get more sleep.

If you ask them why they didn't doubt the authenticity of this story, some villagers will definitely spit in your face.

Not to mention that this was told by the village chief, just seeing that Li Jia Mengyue had returned from the capital, one could tell that she was definitely someone who had no shortage of money.

Although her identity was a misunderstanding and she wasn't really a rich girl, she was still better than the freeloaders like them.

Even though Li Ran sent someone back some time ago to spread the news that Li Mengyue had been with a beggar, they had discussed it privately.

But none of these can be realized with real money. No matter what Li Mengyue was like in the past, as long as they can make money, they will think that Li Mengyue is a good girl and will never say bad things about her behind her back again.

Even Li Cuihua, who loves to gossip, couldn't stop smiling when she learned that Li Mengyue was collecting locusts, even though she was in her forties.

She used to tell everyone, "Li Mengyue is no longer innocent. She'll definitely never get married. Li An and Wan Niang shouldn't have acknowledged this daughter. Now they've dealt with a heavy blow. Li An's eldest son still hasn't found a wife, so he'll definitely be affected by her, and the same goes for the twins."

Who wouldn't hate seeing someone's face that takes pleasure in other people's misfortune?

Now, she was standing in front of the Li family's gate, holding a small bamboo basket in her hand, chatting with the villagers, her big mouth kept chattering without waiting for the other party to pick up her words.

She started talking to herself again: "Hey, you guys say, Miss Mengyue has such a good heart, so kind. Our village has never had such a kind person."

"Such a kind person comes from Xinghua Village. As a daughter-in-law of Xinghua Village, I feel extremely proud."

Li Cuihua was spitting all over the place, praising Li Mengyue highly.

"Squeak!"

The Li family's door opened from the inside.

They were surrounding Li Cuihua, listening to her talk about the villagers in the mountains. When they heard the door open, they all rushed to the door with their small bamboo baskets in their arms.

In fact, Li Mengyue has very good hearing and can hear all the conversations of the villagers clearly.

Of course, I also heard Li Cuihua's mindless praise.

To be honest, she was a little flattered to hear Li Cuihua praising her. After all, she had known Li Cuihua for a long time and knew that she had been saying bad things about her behind her back.

The rumors about her in the village had a lot to do with Li Cuihua.

It's just that these words didn't cause her any harm, nor did they touch her bottom line, so she didn't bother to pay attention.

Unexpectedly, she just wanted to buy locusts from the villagers, and the price was one penny per pound. Not only did no one say the price was low, but everyone was very active and proactive.

You know, she had just told the village chief yesterday, and before dawn, someone had already brought caught locusts to her house to sell.

She originally wanted to open a breeding farm and not set up a stall in town all the time. As long as everyone knew that locusts were edible and that a locust plague would break out, she would achieve her goal.

Of course, she would also continue to buy locusts, not to fry them, but to dry them in the sun and use them as duck feed.

This way the villagers don't have to worry about her not collecting locusts one day and losing a source of income.

Besides, ducks can be used to make many delicious dishes, such as roast duck, salted duck, duck soup, etc., and duck eggs can also be used to make salted duck eggs, preserved eggs, and preserved eggs.

If she raises too many ducks, she also plans to open a workshop related to duck delicacies and sell the delicacies outside.

At first, the villagers may feel that they cannot afford to raise ducks. But later, when they have more ducks and earn more money, they will be willing to raise ducks, which will form a positive cycle and the life of the villagers will improve.

It seems that there will be a locust plague in a month. For the villagers, it is not only not a bad thing, but will turn into a good thing, a good opportunity for them to get rich.
