40: Zero Yuan Purchase, a Big Bang

Yun Feifei grabbed the locusts and tore off their wings and thorny legs.

Without wings they can't fly, and by tearing off the thorny legs they won't be prickly when eaten.

Throw the locusts into salt water to soak. The wingless locusts will flutter a few times in the water and die.

After soaking for a few hours, the salt water will spit out all the dirt in the locusts' bodies, and the soaked locusts can be taken out and washed several times.

These locusts can be roasted or fried for food, or they can be dried in the sun. After drying, they can be stored in jars as food reserves. Now's weather is perfect for drying things.

You can also grind them into powder and add some to the porridge when cooking.

Although the dirt in the locust's stomach has been washed away, it is still an insect after all, and contains various parasites.

This is not a problem at all for people who are suffering from famine and starving.

Now it depends on one's individual physique. There are so many people in the world, and there will always be some people who will be rejected by their bodies and die after eating locusts.

Yun Feifei explained carefully to her younger brothers and sisters. After hearing it, the three younger ones took out the large basins in the house, added water and salt to soak the locusts.

After hearing this, Yun Guohua rummaged around the house and found a sack filled with miscellaneous items.

He poured out the contents of the sack and hurriedly left home carrying the sack.

"Second brother, where are you going?" Yun Shasha asked.

Yun Feifei already had the answer in her mind. Sure enough, what Yun Guohua said was exactly what she was thinking.

"You guys clean up at home. I'll go catch some locusts while there are still some alive ones on the ground." As he finished speaking, he had already walked out of the door.

Yun Feifei's four younger brothers and sisters became even more motivated after they learned that locusts could be ground into powder and used as food.

The only pity is that the locusts left too quickly, so they couldn't store more locusts.

……

When Yun Guohua collected a sack full of locusts and carried it back, the wooden basins in the house were filled with locust corpses.

There were so many locusts in the sack that the wooden basins at home were not enough.

However, even if there were enough wooden basins, there would not be enough water at home for them to use, so the remaining locusts could only live a little longer.

"Sister, I just came back and saw a lot of people like me picking up locusts outside..."

From Yun Guohua's narration, Yun Feifei learned that when the locust army attacked just now, some people stayed at home and were able to rescue food at home.

As for those families who went out to the fields to drive away the insects, except for the food they had stored in sealed storage containers, almost all of their food was destroyed by the locusts that entered their homes.

There are so many locusts that if the locusts find any gap in the food they store, then this batch of food will attract a large number of locusts.

In the entire Yunjia Village, the food of every household suffered, but the extent of the loss varied.

Yun Feifei, who had experienced a food crisis in the end times, knew the horror of food shortage. She could foresee that food would become increasingly scarce in the future.

When everyone returned home, they found that the food in their house had been eaten, and they burst into tears.

Those who reacted quickly, thinking of what everyone said about locusts being able to be used as food, felt like they had grabbed the last straw, and quickly took action to catch the insects and store them.

Yun Feifei glanced at the watch in the space and the time was already 4:10.

After Yun Guohua told them about the situation outside, he picked up the empty sack on the ground, thinking of continuing to pick up leftovers outside.

Yun Feifei tried to stop them. After all, such a long time had passed and there were not many locusts left alive.

The most important thing is that from Yun Guohua’s narration, we can know how chaotic the situation outside is right now.

There are still so many supplies in her space that she doesn't have to use locusts.

She has space, but others don’t know it!!!

Yun Guohua thought that there were so many mouths to feed at home and he didn't know when food would be replenished.

Then the powder ground from the locusts will be the main food for their family for some time to come, and of course the more the better.

Seeing that she couldn't stop him, Yun Feifei followed him, but told Yun Guohua to come back before dark.

By the way, she asked him to go to the village chief to tell him how to use the locusts, so she was too lazy to make the trip.
