Exiled just after being married? I turned around and emptied the treasury to escape the famine

The villagers came to Jian Anan and Chu Junxing with bags of locusts.

"Miss Jian, what should we do with these locusts?" Yu Wan spoke first.

Looking at the lively locusts in the net bag, a smile appeared at the corner of Jian Anan's mouth.

She couldn't wait to eat fried locusts.

She said to everyone: "Which of you has a bigger pot, take it to my door."

Although the villagers didn't know what Jian Anan wanted the pot for, they were very cooperative.

Several villagers stood up and said that their own pots were larger.

Even Zhao Wu and Zhao Liu stood up.

They handed the net bags to other villagers and quickly ran towards their homes.

Jian Anan found the two hens given by Grandma Lin and held them in her arms.

"Let's go back. I'll treat you to fried locusts later."

The village women also took home their own chickens. When they heard Jian Anan say that they wanted to eat locusts, they couldn't help grinning.

On the way back, Yu Wan couldn't help but ask: "Miss Jian, are these locusts really edible?"

Jian Anan grinned: "Of course you can eat it, this thing is still high in protein."

Yu Wan didn't understand what high protein was, but seeing that what Jian Anan said was true, he didn't ask any more questions.

When everyone arrived outside Jian An'an's courtyard, several villagers had already brought over their big black pots.

Jian Anan asked the villagers to get some firewood, and soon the black pot was set up.

Jian Anan returned home and bought several large barrels of cooking oil from the space supermarket.

She poured the oil into her own wooden barrel and asked Xi'er to help carry the barrel outside the courtyard.

When the eldest lady and others heard the commotion outside, they all came out to watch the fun.

I saw a dozen villagers holding large net bags with a large number of locusts in them.

The eldest lady pulled Jian Anan: "Anan, what are you doing?"

Jian Anan smiled at the eldest lady: "Mom, you will know in a while."

Jian Anan asked Xi'er to pour the oil into several large black pots, and then took some holes and poured it on the net bags.

Those locusts were covered in oil.

Now even if she lets go of the net bag, the locusts can't fly.

Everyone stared blankly at what Jian Anan was doing.

Soon the oil in the pot heated up and bubbles appeared.

Seeing that the oil was almost burning, Jian Anan asked Yu Wan to open the net bag and pour the locusts inside into a pan of oil.

The locusts fell into the oil pan one after another and quickly made a "crackling" sound.

The locusts were fried in hot oil and quickly became crispy.

Seeing this, other villagers followed suit and opened the net bags in their hands and poured the locusts inside into the hot oil pan.

Soon the burnt aroma emanated from the oil pan.

Jian Anan asked Xi'er to get a large colander, and asked the other maids to get plates and bowls.

She took the fried locusts out of the pot and put them on a plate.

Looking at the fried locusts that were browned and crispy, Jian Anan couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

She handed the plate to the eldest lady and Chu Junxing: "Mom, you and Junxing have a try. This thing is very fragrant after being fried."

The eldest lady looked so frightened that she waved her hands and took a step back.

"An'an, don't scare mother, how can you eat this insect!"

Chu Junxing's expression also changed slightly, but when he looked at Jian Anan's serious face, it seemed that he was not lying to him.

He picked up a locust, put it to his nose and smelled it.

Jian Anan looked at Chu Junxing expectantly, hoping that he would be the first person here to eat fried locusts.

Although Chu Junxing was afraid of insects, these locusts had already been bombed, so there was nothing to fear.

He swallowed, put the locust into his mouth with his eyes closed, and chewed it.
