I really don't want to rebel

Chapter 114 The Grasshopper Shooting Contest

The common people were cursing, after all, the locust plague would kill many people.

Jiang Yunfan pressed his hands and shouted: "Everyone, listen to me! This locust is unforgivable! It eats our crops and makes us starve. What should we do? If it eats our food, we will eat it!" "

"Huh? Eating locusts? How do you eat these locusts!" An old man was shocked when he heard this.

A young man said: "I am afraid that the locust god will be angry and cause a locust plague. We should worship Ba Wa!"

"It is really imperative to worship Bawa and appease the anger of the Locust God!"

"Eight waxes" refers to the general name of eight gods related to agriculture. These eight gods have a clear division of labor and are responsible for opening roads, protecting seedlings, fortifying defenses, resisting drought and waterlogging, and driving away pests and mice.

In ancient times, people regarded the plague of locusts as the messenger of the locust god, and believed that the locust god was angry and sent down the messenger to punish the world.

Jiang Yunfan shouted: "Everyone, don't be afraid, this plague of locusts is not the wrath of the locust god, but the gift of the locust god! These locusts are rich in nutrition and are a great tonic! I invited Dr. Wei from Huayang County , Dr. Wei's medical skills are superb, and there are countless survivors, everyone should trust him!"

Dr. Wei walked up to the stage. When he went to the field to help harvest the grain, Jiang Yunfan dragged him to talk for a long time.

Doctor Wei said loudly: "Folks! Mr. Jiang's words are true, locusts are indeed a great tonic! The taste is also very good, you just need to pull out the wings! I just went to catch several catties of locusts , lit a fire, roasted and eaten, not to mention how delicious it is!"

Doctor Wei waved his hand, and a boy came up to the table carrying a big plate.

Doctor Wei grabbed a roasted black locust on the plate, stuffed it into his mouth, and said with enjoyment: "Everyone has a try, it's delicious! This locust is delicious, and I am so shameless today." The young master asked for some barbecue condiments, and after I sprinkled them on them, they were so fragrant that I didn’t even want to eat!"

The people in the front row doubtfully picked up the roasted locusts and put them in their mouths. The meat was delicious, golden and fragrant, and the ingredients were delicious. It was extremely comfortable to eat.

"It's so delicious! It turns out that locusts can eat too!"

"Mr. Jiang is still amazing. He even knows that locusts are delicious. When this locust plague comes, although the food is a little less, we are lucky!"

"It's so fragrant! It's a little different from barbecue, but it has a different flavor!"

Jiang Yunfan laughed loudly and shouted: "Folks, there is a plague of locusts outside right now! There are locusts everywhere! What is this? This is a gift from God! Locusts are nutrition and rations! Everyone, make a quick one!" Beat, let's shoot the locusts!"

Jiang Yunfan laughed and said, "Besides, there will be rewards for the top ten winners in this locust contest! No. 10 to No. 5 will be rewarded with one tael of silver; No. 5 to No. 3 will be rewarded with three taels of silver; No. 3 and No. 2. Five taels of silver will be rewarded; the final champion will be rewarded with ten taels of silver! This time everyone, regardless of gender, age or age, can participate, but they cannot distribute the locusts they catch to others. Finally, we will make statistics to determine the final champion!"

Most of the people had already prepared the beat, and Jiang Yunfan had already asked Zhang Tao to release the news, and everyone heard that it was Mr. Jiang's intention, and they all followed suit.

Jiang Yunfan led the group to the ridge in the field, where he saw an army of locusts gnawing on the unburned straw.

Jiang Yunfan laughed loudly: "Everyone, let's go take pictures. The time limit is one hour! Everyone will come back in the evening to do the statistics. Then I will treat everyone to roasted locusts!"

The people ran to the field with their beaters, each carrying a bamboo basket on their waists to hold the locusts.

A man was very strong, and when he beat down, many locusts died unexpectedly, and many locusts were stunned. The man laughed and picked up the locusts into the bamboo basket.

Of course, the guy in your hand is also the key to victory.

I saw a peasant woman with a big arm and a round waist made a big beat!It was actually modified with cattail fans!Some bamboo strips were added to increase the weight. When the peasant woman fell down, at least twenty of them died!

Even the elderly and children couldn't sit still and found something to fight the locusts.

Locusts are very harmful to people. How many people have been killed by locusts since ancient times, and their wives and children were separated?
Now that we know that locusts are edible and delicious, everyone comes on stage one after another and pats the locusts hard.

"Hahaha! It's so relieved!" An old man laughed.

"What a relief! How much food do they usually eat from us? This time the situation has changed and we have to eat them!"

An out-of-town businessman also participated in the locust shooting contest and laughed: "That's great! There are so many locusts. It won't be a problem for us to come here every day and shoot thousands of them! We can eat them for several days!"

"Refresh the system mall!" Jiang Yunfan moved a chair and sat on the side, watching the rapid progress of the locust brigade.

【Ding!The system mall has been refreshed successfully, today’s product: fishing net]

[Fishing net: a very thin net, four meters long and four meters wide.Price: 10 coins]

"50000 here!" Jiang Yunfan was overjoyed.

【Ding! 50000 fishing nets have been stored in your system inventory. 】

【Ding!Current property: 40297 taels of silver and 532 copper plates]

Isn't this a pillow for sleepy?Haha, I am worried that I will not be able to take a few pictures, who would have thought that I would draw a net?

Although it is a fishing net, as mentioned in the introduction, it is a very fine net!Now you can catch locusts!

Moreover, the locusts are mainly grasshoppers. Although they can fly, their height is very limited, and the grasshoppers in the locust plague are about 5 cm in length, so they are not afraid of missing them.

The folks took pictures enthusiastically for an hour, and it was time for the competition.

Many folks found a steelyard to weigh the locusts.

The folks took this cool shot!Probably everyone took a few hundred!

According to statistics, the most photographed is the peasant woman with big arms and round waist, that is, the one who changed the cattail fan into a beat.

Jiang Yunfan got the statistical results and shouted: "I announce that the champion is Zhang Meiya! 4459 locusts were photographed! The weight is as high as 79 catties! 79 catties! Congratulations to Zhang Meiya for winning the championship, and the reward is 10 taels of silver! Others' silver will be distributed on the spot! "

"Oh my God! Lao Li, your wife is so amazing! She took nearly 80 catties of grasshoppers!"

"I took pictures of more than 4000 grasshoppers. How many days will it take to eat them! Lao Li, you married a good wife!"

Lao Li was very excited and said proudly: "No, my wife's body fat is not in vain! She works harder than me! Hahahaha, my wife is so awesome! We can satisfy our craving this time!"

Jiang Yunfan laughed and said: "Everyone will shoot more locusts in the future! The locusts are dried, and processed into feed for livestock is also a great supplement! The livestock grow strong and strong after eating this grasshopper!"

The people were all smiling.

"These locusts are really a gift from God!"

"That's right, my family has a cow, so I don't need to lose weight this winter!"

"This locust is really a treasure! Not only can it be used for making tooth sacrifices, but it can also supplement nutrition for livestock!"
