The buzzing sound was deafening, filling the sky and moving towards this side.
People on the roadside couldn¡¯t help but stop and look at it, with unspeakable panic and a hint of despair in their hearts!
"Yes, it's the Locust Immortal!" A skinny old man suddenly shouted miserably and slumped to the ground, "The Locust Immortal has come to collect the gift from heaven to mankind!"
Everyone knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Please leave the Locust Immortal. We are willing to kill pigs and sheep every year to serve you. I hope the Locust Immortal can leave some food for us humble people"
After traveling for more than half a month, the drought in Dahe became increasingly serious, and grain production was reduced in large areas. Only people in a few villages were willing to collect the grain in advance. The rest of the people also run around watering the crops every day. If the food grows in the ground for one more day, they will be able to survive for one more day next year!
Food is everyone¡¯s life.
But now, the Locust Immortal is here, how can we harvest the food in the fields?
Whenever you think about locusts crossing the bare grass, a man who is 1.89 meters tall can wipe his eyes and cry bitterly.
The locusts have not yet arrived, and the buzzing of their flapping wings and the rustling of chewing plants are intertwined into a desperate tune.
Zhu Jiayi pursed her lips tightly, wondering if the short story spread in the town before had any effect. It contained methods for controlling several disasters in the future, including prescriptions for diseases such as plague, malaria, and smallpox that left people helpless.
She didn¡¯t say anything, but just watched as everyone either worshiped heaven and earth, worshiped ghosts and gods, or hurriedly hid all kinds of food tightly, wrapped in layers of cloth to avoid falling into the mouths of locusts.
Even Zhu¡¯s family would stuff things they were afraid of being eaten by locusts into the carriage, then tie straw to wooden sticks and rub some tree oil on them, in preparation for lighting a fire to drive away the insects when the locusts come!
She has been paying attention to the Xiang family from the corner of her eye.
In order to protect from the sun, Xiang Weizi wrapped herself extremely tightly on such a hot day.
She was doing the battle between heaven and man. After struggling for a while, she thought that there might be many things happening along the way. Famine is one of them. If everyone has nothing to eat and only their family has it, it will put their family in danger!
"This is the heavenly meat given to us by God!" Xiang Weizi shouted loudly: "The drought was serious, and God knew that we were short of food, so he gave us locusts!
"Everyone, hurry up and catch some stuff. Bake it, boil it and then dry it in the sun. It can support us through the famine caused by drought"
The girl¡¯s voice was high-pitched and high-pitched, going straight into people¡¯s ears.
The team of more than 200 people headed to Western Xinjiang is currently doing well. They have enough money and can enter the town for supplies at any time. But other refugees are not so lucky.
The drought has forced many people to leave their hometowns. They are short of water and food. They come here begging and wandering, but they are refused entry into the city. Hunger is like a big knife hanging by their hair, it can kill them at any time.
?? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? No matter how much you fear God, you are not willing to let go of a little bit of life, right?
Everyone was struggling in their hearts, and then looked at the locusts covering the sky and the earth, their eyes were red with a kind of madness.
Zhu Jiayi knocked on the car wall.
Zhu Kaiyan cleverly lifted the curtain and came up.
¡°Brother, let¡¯s catch as many locusts as possible!¡± Zhu Jiayi whispered: ¡°Now that the weather is bad, meat is becoming increasingly scarce. The meat of locusts is also a great supplement, and it can also be used to feed bamboo chickens to lay eggs.
Generally, an abnormal celestial phenomenon will be followed by a series of problems. On the way to Western Xinjiang, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, we have to keep a low profile. "
Mrs. Zhu nodded and agreed: "Yiyi is right, poor people come out of poverty!
The further you go to the western frontier, the more chaos there will be, and horse thieves will become more and more rampant.
There is nothing wrong with us being careful.
What don¡¯t the children in rural areas eat?
There are all grasshoppers, scorpions, crickets, mice, and birds in the field that we can¡¯t eat, and they are all good things.
The locusts were caught and fried with oil and seasonings. They tasted very fragrant.
Zhu Jiayi smiled and continued: "There are many ways to catch locusts. Use clothes as a net and swing it in the air to fill it up; you can also use sacks to directly contain them, or dig a big hole in the ground and throw the locusts over. , one layer of insects and one layer of soil, and then dig it out later"
Zhu Kaiyan responded, "Sure, mom, sister, you guys wait in the car while our brothers go to catch as many locusts as we can."?How much.
These are the pests that harm crops! "
Therefore, when the locust army rushed forward, everyone had already rubbed their fists together and prepared. It was really men, women, old and young who all went into battle.
The number of locusts is huge, spreading for tens of miles, like gluttons in the sky opening their mouths, devouring everything one by one!
These little things are extremely greedy and will not let go of any plants wherever they go.
No wonder there is a saying called "Locusts passing by"!
Densely packed bugs crashed into the carriage, and there were even some overestimating locusts that gnawed at the carriage with their mouths open!
A few little guys took bamboo scrapers and scooped the locusts into a basin filled with salt water.
After filling a basin, he put it into a sack and sent it into the carriage.
Zhu Jiayi and the old lady have been pretending to be sick, so they can't get out of the car and join in at the moment.
But they were dealing with locusts in the car.
They collected all kinds of bedding and mats and wrapped them in oil paper. They put on old clothes, took scissors and started to attack a sack of tightly packed locusts.
Of course, locusts are edible. They are freshly grilled or fried on the spot, and they are crispy and delicious.
But the wings, heads and claws of locusts are meatless, and it is difficult to digest if they eat too much.
So they had to cut these things off, put them in another bag, grind them into powder and feed them to the chickens!
The locust swarm was so large that the crowd captured them for a whole day and night before sending away the locusts, which were about 10% less.
All pots, pots, clothes sacks, baskets, etc. were requisitioned as containers. In the end, everyone dug a lot of pits on both sides of the official road and buried a lot of locusts.
It was dawn, and everyone had no time to rest and began to deal with the locusts.
"You guys don't have that much energy to pinch off the heads, tails, wings and claws of the locusts. They just choose a thin bluestone and light a fire below to dry the locusts above.
They also put the pot upside down on it. When drying the locusts, the water vapor dripped down the pot into the bowl, enough for everyone to take a few sips from time to time.
The taste of the water has a slight fishy smell, but it is much better than the yellow water in the river that has been sedimented for many times!
??Especially for some poor people, this is really life-saving water and life-saving food.
They chewed the meat, which had a light and soft taste, wiped their tears and couldn't help but kneel down, thanking God and Earth.
Everyone has a great harvest. By digging out the locusts buried in the ground and processing them together, everyone can get hundreds of kilograms of dry goods! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
