It turned out that Li Erzhu wanted to show off more and get to the town quickly. He was dissatisfied with the ox whip not being fast enough, so he whipped it and made a crackling sound.
Of course, the whip didn't really hit the cow and didn't hurt the cow at all. Li Laogen, who loved cows as much as his life, would definitely let his son be whipped.
The cow was spoiled by Li Laogen and didn't buy Li Erzhu's tricks. The more anxious he was, the more restless the cow became. So the man and the cow started to have a quarrel on the road.
Not to mention that riding an ox cart was fast, it was still not as fast as Li Mengyue and the other two coming on foot.
Li Erzhu originally wanted to show off in front of Li Mengyue, but he didn't expect that his father Lao Niu would not cooperate and made him lose face.
He was so angry that he stretched out his hand and hit the cow with a slap.
The cow was not afraid of the little guy Li Erzhu. It raised its hind legs and made Li Erzhu perform a backflip on the spot.
"Baji."
Li Erzhu kissed the land he loved deeply in an absolutely frontal position.
"Ah! Old Bull, I will never coexist with you."
Li Mengyue and her two siblings were just watching this nonsensical joke from the sidelines.
After laughing, Li Mengyue felt that if she wanted to go to town by ox cart, she had to rely on herself.
So when Li Erzhu got up from the ground, she put away her smile and said seriously, "Brother Erzhu, I've seen Uncle Lao Gen drive a car, so I have experience. You and Yu Yuhao can get in, and I'll drive."
Li Erzhu was so embarrassed by his own cow that he lost face in front of his sister Mengyue. When faced with Li Mengyue's suggestion, he said nothing and got on the ox cart dejectedly.
"Brother Erzhu, your cow doesn't recognize you and doesn't listen to you. Don't be sad. I support you."
Li Erzhu was not very sad at first, but after hearing what Hao said, he felt ashamed to face people.
Although there were some minor incidents on the way, we still arrived in the town safely.
Seeing people coming and going on the street, Li Mengyue found an open space, put down her backpack, took out clean oil paper, weights and other items, and started shouting.
"Don't miss out if you're passing by! These crispy and crunchy fried locusts are free to try."
"Dear uncles, aunts, grandparents, my family has freshly caught and fried locusts. They are crispy and nutritious. They are good for adults and help children grow taller."
…
Li Mengyue was shouting, and Li Erzhu, Yu Yu and Hao Hao were dumbfounded.
Just when the three were still confused, someone came up and asked.
"What is it? Free tasting."
Li Mengyue directly opened the backpack, revealing the fried locusts inside.
"Hiss! Aren't these locusts from the ground? Can they be eaten? The little girl must be crazy because she's poor. She's using locusts to cheat people out of money."
Passersby stopped unconsciously when they heard the locusts. After a while, Li Mengyue's stall was surrounded by people.
When they saw that it was locusts, they all agreed, except that locusts couldn't eat anything.
However, Li Mengyue had already anticipated that everyone would be resistant to locusts and would not easily accept them, so she came up with the gimmick of free tasting.
No matter what prejudice you may have against locusts, once you try one, you will be unable to stop eating it. After all, who can resist crispy fried food?
Li Mengyue saw a woman ask if she could try it for free and said confidently, "Auntie, locusts are not only edible, but also very nutritious. Even people with weak bodies can eat them. The key is that they are fried, so they are crispy and delicious. They are a favorite of children."
"Really? Kids love to eat it."
"Well, if you don't believe me, try it first."
As she spoke, Li Mengyue handed the old lady a toothpick and motioned her to take it out and try the fried locusts.
The old lady was skeptical, but with so many people watching, she was not afraid that the little girl would harm her.
So he pierced a locust with a toothpick, and after eating it, he subconsciously pierced another one.
"How does it taste? Tell me!"
The onlookers watched the old lady eat, and without saying anything, they just kept eating.
Seeing that the old lady had eaten five, Li Mengyue stopped her from eating any more.
"Auntie, this is just a small favor. I think everyone should try two, but you've already eaten five."
The old lady was also straightforward and quick-witted. Without hesitation, she said, "Miss, how much is one pound?"
"Auntie, five cents a pound."
Before the old lady could say anything, the onlookers started shouting loudly.
