Look at the mountains and rivers I have drawn

Chapter 314
Although he didn't understand what he meant, Ye Yan immediately sent someone down to catch the bugs and inspect them. The bugs all over the sky made people feel a little frightened. I didn't have a good impression of this before, but now it's better, and it suddenly changed Enemy of mankind.

"If only there were pesticides, it wouldn't be so troublesome." Ye Yan looked at the locusts all over the ground, his head was buzzing, and he felt so exhausted for the first time.

Seeing Ye Yan's state, Da Zhu knew that Ye Yan had encountered a problem. He had never been so negative before. He went over and patted Ye Yan on the shoulder. The helpless thing was that the crops must not be kept.

Waiting intently for the insect test, because the imperial doctor here has no good idea, so he can only use animals to try a little bit. Seeing that the mice and puppies raised with insects have no problem at all, and the insects have not been detected. What kind of poison, Ye Yan was relieved.

After telling Da Zhu the news, seeing Da Zhu's face full of smiles, Ye Yan felt a little happy: "Hurry up, what can we do? We can arrange to deal with it immediately."

Seeing Da Zhu's laughing expression, Ye Yan waited nervously, only to see Da Zhu put a handful of pods on the table.

"This locust is the bean pod, and besides a few pods, there are also beans inside, which are eggs, so the best way we can do now is to catch all the bean pods, and the beans that are left on the ground will be cleaned up." Wait for a while." Dazhu said while doing it, looking at the beans on the table seriously.

Ye Yan understood what he meant in an instant, but would it be difficult to eat so many bugs caught by such a method?

Seeing his surprise, Dazhu laughed: "That's why I asked you to check if there is any poison, and scald the bugs to death with hot water, so that they can be eaten, and you can also feed them to the livestock and poultry at home. Use it to your advantage."

With this idea, it is not bad. As for the follow-up insects, they will not be given a chance to lay eggs when they start to jump and catch them. This will not affect the growth of crops. As for this batch of food, I am afraid it is not good enough. But having worms to feed them can also sustain the crops.

"Okay, let's do it!" Ye Yan rushed outside happily, and immediately allocated funds for them to make catching nets. Every household distributed catching nets according to the population, and all dispatched to catch locusts!
This order filled everyone with anticipation. After all, it is better to have a solution than to wait. Why don't you try it?
Ye Yan took Ma Yuyan and the princess to join the catching brigade. The net in his hand was very dense and could capture some small ones. As for the place to pretend, after some thinking, Ye Yan thought of a way. Let the craftsman make a big box as the first big box to use, and then you can study the pros and cons.

Everyone poured the locusts into the box. Unexpectedly, some of the insects escaped from the prison when they opened it?Every time I put bugs in it, some will pop out, which is really troublesome, and it's not easy to pour them out, so what should I do?
This kind of difficulty is here, but it has created new troubles for everyone, and the escaped insects will produce new eggs very quickly, and there is no way to kill them all at such a speed.

Seeing this situation, an aunt came up with an idea. She walked over with a smile on her face, looked at Ye Yan with a distressed face, and immediately offered her plan.

"Ye Wang, we are doing this to catch insects, and if we kill the insects we catch immediately, then there will be no such problem?" The aunt said, and took out the heads of the guys she had set on fire.

Everyone looked at this cooking pot and wondered, what can such a thing be used for?In a blink of an eye, my aunt used stones to set up the pot, lit firewood underneath, added some water to the pot, and it boiled in a few minutes. I saw my aunt picked up the net for catching locusts and waved it in the sky a few times. , and filled the net to the brim.

Instead of pouring it out, I put the whole net into the pot, took it out after a simple 5 minutes, and sure enough, the locusts inside were motionless. Such a speed and method can indeed avoid this problem, and As long as there are enough nets, new ones can be caught in this gap without wasting any time.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, this method is really good, Ye Yan agreed very much, everyone also applauded, seeing that the conditions here are not enough, they immediately took out the pot at home to share.

With this trick, everyone caught it very quickly. They caught so many in a short time that the prepared containers couldn't fit. The same method was spread to various places. After a lot of hard work, they harvested fifty boxes in one day. .

On a voluntary basis, these locusts were taken home by everyone to feed the chickens and ducks, and the rest was brought back to the palace by Ye Yan. After some research, Ye Yan put them in the spare palace to dry, Wait for it to dry out and grind it into powder so that it can be stored for later use.

On the second day, I found that compared with the first day, it seemed to be much better. It was not as dense as before, and the situation had indeed improved.

"Keep working hard, guys. When we catch the adult insects, we can wait for the eggs to hatch. After catching the small locusts, our mission will be completed!" Ye Yan announced on the tower, looking down at the city. Seeing the fighting spirit of the common people, Ye Yan and the others were very happy.

And after these few days of feeding, the chickens and ducks raised by every household have also become fatter, the quality of the eggs laid has improved, and the livestock have grown faster than usual, and the eggs are accumulated according to the plan, waiting for the food shortage when eating.

At night, many ordinary people continue to catch some locusts when they have nothing to do, clean them and pickle them with salt. This is also a delicacy.

"Son, you don't know. When grandpa was young, we called this thing a grasshopper. Once it's tested and fried, the taste is absolutely amazing. A single grasshopper can eat a meal."

Ye Yan went door to door to check their food situation, and saw an old man telling his grandson through the crack of the door.

For a moment, Ye Yan also had a deep feeling. In the previous world, he also bought it from the supermarket, sprinkled with some sesame seeds, it was delicious, and it was enough to eat steamed buns, but now he was devastated by this thing.

"Old man, how much food do you have at home? Let me take a look. If there is nothing to eat, I will distribute some from the national treasury to everyone. Let's get through the difficulties first." Ye Yan's very friendly attitude made the old man a little ashamed. There is no food left.

The old man stood up unnaturally, and Ye Yan also saw the table. The grandpa and grandson just lived on fried grasshoppers, and there was not even a grain of rice on the table. This situation made Ye Yan feel distressed, but The old man's concealment made him unable to bear to pierce his self-esteem.
