Chapter 408: The locust plague is a disaster for locusts.

Soon, the sky gradually darkened.

The people all dug fire pits in their own fields, and the firewood in the fire pits was ready.

"ignition!"

With Li Mu's order, the hundreds of people in Niujia Village began to ignite the fire pit of their homes. For a moment, fires lit up in the entire Niujia Village world.

"Everyone is careful, don't let the fire ignite the crops!" The old village chief of Niujia Village shouted.

"Don't worry, village chief, be careful!"

"Our fire pit is digging deep, and there is no open fire!"

......

......

The people of Niujia Village responded one after another.

It is necessary to be careful when igniting fires in the fields to attract locusts, because if you are not good, it is very likely to ignite crops.

As the fire in the fields of each family started to ignite, the temperature in the fields was obviously much higher than elsewhere, and the fields were very bright.

These locusts like warm and bright environments. After locusts see the light at night, they will subconsciously gather towards the light.

This seems to be the same as moths flying into the fire. Any insect will definitely come over after seeing the lights at night.

"Buzz,buzz,buzz."

"Buzz,buzz,buzz."

"Buzz,buzz,buzz."

Not long after, a harsh "buzzing" sound came from my ears, which was the sound of locusts flapping their wings.

He looked up and looked up. There was a black area in front of him. When the locusts had arrived, they had a cluster effect, and then rushed towards the fire.

The locusts then divided into many small groups and then leaned towards a fire.

Not long after, all the fire pits were covered with dense locusts. In this scene, if anyone with dense phobia sees it, they will be scared to pee.

However, the people of this era are not so pretentious, and naturally there is no intensive phobia.

Anything they have, they are also afraid of not eating meat.

Nowadays, these locusts are all countless meat foods in the eyes of the common people.

The locusts were lying around the fire pit, full of locusts. Many fires were even covered with locusts before, and some locusts were left countless times and could only keep flying above the fire pit.

The villagers of Niujiazhuang waited for a while and found that there were no signs of locusts gathering here, which showed that there should be not many locusts around.

At this time, the locusts around Niujiazhuang were basically gathering. Seeing that no locusts were gathering, the villagers of Niujiazhuang picked up net spoons and began to catch these locusts in large quantities.

These strong and fast-witted men are responsible for starting to catch locusts with net spoons, while the women and children are holding their pockets, waiting to put the caught locusts in their pockets.

Not long after, it was about one or two hours.

The villagers of Niujiazhuang have almost caught the locusts around them. They were supposed to be in groups of people covering the sky, but at this time there were only a few left in groups of three or three.

However, Shanshan didn't let go of the few in pairs.

As the saying goes, the matter of eliminating evil is the most important evil in the field, and naturally no one can be kept.

At this time, these locusts were almost crying. In this situation, it was really miserable.

The crops in the sky just now, let alone harming the crops elsewhere, even the crops in Niujiazhuang have been captured before they have been harmed.

For locusts, the most important thing is that they don’t eat crops, but now it seems that these villagers want to eat them!

Locust God!

Didn’t it be said that it was the Locust God? Why did this change suddenly?

After learning that locusts could eat, the villagers of Niujia Village were overjoyed when they faced this massive amount of meat that was given by heaven.

As long as you can have meat to eat, what kind of bullshit locust gods are not locust gods.

The people can't care so much, they only care about their stomachs.

The locusts think that this is really bullying locusts. In previous years, they were eating human food. Why did this year become humans treat them as food?

Could this be the one who is going to make a living, and it will have to be paid sooner or later?

At this time, the villagers of Niujiazhuang had already put all the locusts they caught in sacks.

The harvest of these villagers today is quite large. Each of their households has captured hundreds of kilograms of locusts. Even if these locusts are dried and stored, they can serve as meat for a long time.

"Friends, locusts are afraid of water. When you get home, you will be able to soak the locusts in the water for a while before they can kill them!" An official from the Ministry of Revenue reminded.

"Yes, soak it in water, just wash it and marinate it with salt. You will not be able to finish it for a while, so keep it for later."

"Yes, it can be stored for a long time if smoked or air-dried. We will have meat in the next six months!"

.........

.........

The villagers of Niujiazhuang are discussing each sentence, and the joy in their words is self-evident.

It is true that the taste of these locusts is not very good. The taste is a bit similar to the mixture of chicken and beef, but the taste is very humid and has a terribly fishy smell.

Therefore, to deal with these locusts, you have to use heavy salt and heavy oil to make them delicious.

Of course, this is just Li Mu's idea. Li Mu is the dignified half of the Sui Dynasty, the general, and has never eaten any innocent seafood.

Li Mu felt that the taste of this locust can only be ordinary, but in the eyes of the people, the taste of these locusts is already quite good.

For ordinary people, it is very good to be able to eat meat, so why don’t you care whether the meat is of good or bad?

The people carried the locusts from their own sacks back home, greeting each other on the way, and in their words, they asked each other how many bags of locusts they had.

If anyone gets more, everyone will be quite envious, and if anyone gets less, they will be depressed.

The people have gained tangible benefits from this locust plague. This is the first move, and the people have benefited from the locust plague.

In previous years, it was not said that there were no locust plagues, but no one had ever thought that locusts were actually a delicious food.

"How did the General find that locusts can eat?" The people thought about it one after another.

If Li Mu knew what the people were thinking, he would definitely tell them that it was because there were no night market stalls in this world.

Fried big grasshoppers, this thing is a hard dish in the food stalls of the night market in the previous life, and this dish is worth at least several dozen yuan.

The villagers of Niujiazhuang have benefited from the locust plague, so they will naturally work harder to control the locust plague in the future.

Moreover, these people did not dare to underestimate Li Mu anymore, and they couldn't help but feel that our general of the Great Sui Dynasty was really an all-round talent.

The people of Niujia Village worked hard not to say it, but became very obedient. They would do whatever Li Mu asked them to do immediately.
