Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 128
"That's right, you just have to do it."

After Qin Feng finished speaking, he looked at the old man who asked the question: "Just wait, I will let you know how delicious this locust is!"

After about half an hour, the cook came back excitedly with two large plates.

On the plate are fried locusts, golden in color, which look really good under the setting sun.

As he got closer, the smell on the plate escaped, and the aroma was so strong that it hooked the noses of the locust sellers around.

"This...is delicious, but is it really edible?"

The farmers still couldn't believe it.

Qin Feng chuckled, picked one up, put it in his mouth, and gritted his teeth.

"Crack, click."

The crisp sound came out, and just listening to the movement made one's appetite whet.

"Hmm...it tastes good! It would be even better if there were more seasonings."

Qin Feng commented and said to the farmers: "Come here, try it all."

"Tell you, this locust is a good thing. The meat of this locust is no worse than pork. It is crispy and delicious. After eating, it will be full of fragrance!"

"Moreover... Eating this stuff is good for your health! It can make you grow stronger! If a man eats it, he will definitely make his wife give birth to a fat boy!"

"I bought the locusts just to supplement the nutrition of the people under my command."

"real or fake?"

The old man who asked the question at the beginning hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to grab one and put it in his mouth to taste.

The county lord has eaten it all, he is a man over seventy years old, what else is there to be afraid of?

After chewing, the old man's eyes burst into light: "Hiss... this locust is really delicious!"

The old men, women, and children waiting around to sell locusts couldn't help it.

Especially the elderly and children rushed forward one by one and took an early adopter.

"Yeah! It's delicious!"

"This locust can drink wine!"

"Delicious, it's really unexpected that this locust can be so delicious!"

Old people and children shouted this, and the peasant women couldn't help it. They grabbed it and tasted it, and they were full of praise.

After a peasant woman tasted it, she bit her lip and thought for a while, with a smile on her face, she left the team directly, turned her head and walked away.

The neighbor next to him asked puzzledly: "Jinlian, why are you going? It's almost your turn. The locusts are no longer for sale?"

"I won't sell it! I...I don't catch many, and I can't sell them for much. Why don't I keep them and cook them for my husband?"

Jin Lian blushed and said falteringly.

"Oh! I see. You heard Mr. Qin say that eating these locusts can make you give birth to a fat boy, right?"

"Oh, I'm blushing, hahahaha..."

"You... are really annoying!"

Jin Lian ran away, and everyone laughed even more happily.

But with her taking the lead, many farmers also expressed that they would not sell.These poor families can't eat any good food all year round. The locusts taste so good, and they can't be sold for much money. Why don't they eat them by themselves?
The magistrate of the county is willing to buy it with money, so what he said about eating is good for people must be true!

"It's just that you have to remember that grown-up migratory locusts can't be eaten, only undiscolored larvae can be eaten."

"Otherwise, not only will you not be able to supplement your nutrition, but you will die!"

Qin Feng had to popularize science with these villagers.

After everyone heard the words, they all realized the importance of the matter, and after remembering each of them, they scattered and left.

It was getting dark, and the locust selling team finally dispersed.

Qin Feng walked to the yamen, but met Wan Kunming who was just about to go out.

"grown ups!"

"Well, it's so late, you are..."

"Wan Mou has already designed and asked someone to make the things that the adults ordered during the day, so let's move to the field to verify."

"Okay, I'll go too!"

The two were in the front, and the yamen servant behind was pushing a small cart. There was something in the shape of a cage on the cart, wrapped in metal, with holes left in the metal skin, and fuel was placed inside.

When he arrived in the field, Wan Kunming had someone install the cage on a pillar, and smash the wooden pillar into the soil so that the cage was just as high as a person's thigh.

The migratory locusts can reach them, but they cannot burn the crops.

After finishing, Wan Kunming ordered people to light the fire.For a moment, the fire in the cage illuminated the surroundings.

As soon as the lights came on, the locusts around them reacted, and many flew into the cage with their wings fluttering.

"It seems that this thing really works!"

"Locusts are indeed phototropic!"

Wan Kunming was overjoyed. This was the first time Qin Feng asked him to design something, and it was credited with the effect.

It's just that after many locusts flew in, they felt the heat of the flames and flew out again, only a few were burned to death.

Wan Kunming was very anxious... This is not as expected.

Qin Feng looked around the cage for a while, and pointed out: "You ask someone to change this cage and make it double-layered. The outside hole is big, the inside hole is small, and the inside and outside are connected to make it into a cone...so it's easy for locusts to fly in. , fly out, but it will be difficult."

Wan Kunming quickly understood Qin Feng's words, and gave Qin Feng a thumbs up: "My lord is wise!"

He immediately asked someone to make one overnight, and experimented again. Sure enough, almost none of the locusts that were attracted could fly out, and they were all burned to death inside.

"My lord is resourceful, and my subordinates admire him!"

"Where is it... I have won the award, I have won the award!"

Qin Feng waved his hand modestly.

After dawn, Qin Feng led people to paste the blueprint of the cage on the bulletin board, and asked the farmers to imitate it by themselves and spread it.

Then, he took people to the fields and found Liu Houzi.

"grown ups."

"Liu Houzi, your locust control strategy has been verified and is feasible! Here is your reward of 100 taels of silver, and you will keep it."

Qin Feng handed over the money to Liu Houzi in front of the farmers.

Liu Houzi wept with joy and was so excited that he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed: "Thank you, Mr. County, thank you, Mr. County!"

Qin Feng immediately helped him up: "Hey, this is what I promised earlier, there is no need to be polite, please hurry up."

"Yes!"

The surrounding farmers looked at Liu Houzi with envy, but the folk customs were simple, and they were not jealous, but congratulated Liu Houzi.

"Liu Houzi, good luck, you are the first one!"

"Congratulations! You won't have to suffer as much as we do in the future."

Liu Houzi repeatedly cupped his fists in thanks.

A woman came out and winked at Liu Houzi: "Liu Houzi, I remember, you haven't married yet, have you? Didn't you spy on my daughter all the time? Why don't you come to my house to propose marriage?"

"Ah? Can, is it possible?"

Liu Houzi was flattered. He used to peek at her daughter. If he was found out, he would be scolded at the least, and beaten at the worst. Now... he was invited to propose marriage?
Unexpectedly, just helping Mr. Qin think of a strategy to control locusts, there are so many benefits, not only to solve the problem of life, but also to solve the problem of marriage?
"Of course, come to Calais tonight, and I'll ask my daughter to cook two dishes for you."

"well!"

Liu Houzi smiled happily.

Here, Qin Feng asked again: "What about... Zhao Tieniu?"
