40: Zero Yuan Purchase, a Big Bang

Yun Feifei saw a few women and children standing not far away. The children were looking at this side with a greedy look, but they did not come forward rashly. The children's hands were also pulled by the adults.

From my memory, I knew that the few people not far away were neighbors who lived next door, and Mrs. Lu lived quite some distance away from her home!

Looking around, among the kids, Xiaopang is the most robust one, so he must have enough food at home.

Xiaopang's family did not lack food for him, but his family was not rich either. He was the only grandson in his family, and the others were what Mrs. Lu called "money-losing goods."

Everyone in the family dotes on Xiaopang, their only grandson, and all the food rations taken from the granddaughters go into Xiaopang's mouth.

With the indulgence of his family, Xiaopang developed such a personality.

Yun Feifei listened to what Mrs. Lu said, but pretended not to hear her. She grabbed Xiaopang's hand and gently pushed him towards Mrs. Lu.

"Grandma Lu, look at what you said. The elders and villagers in the village know everything about my family's situation. What good things can my family have?"

"That's not very kind of you. The smell of meat wafting from your house is so tempting! Now that the locusts have just left, every household has been hit by the disaster and there is not much surplus food. Our family is not much better off than yours! Considering that our family has helped us a lot in the past, please give our little fat boy some food!"

[Pah! This old lady Lu made it sound as if her family had helped us in the past. On the contrary, her family was one of the families that had not helped them in all these years.]

Yun Feifei kept muttering in her heart. She had developed a heart of stone in the end times. In this situation now, she was not shaken at all. They were not related at all, so it was even more impossible.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

Yun Shasha and Yun Lingling, who had just returned from fetching water, saw the situation at the door of their house, and immediately put down their carrying poles and approached Yun Feifei to ask.

"It's okay." Yun Feifei said to her soothingly, and then whispered into her ear, "Go to the kitchen stove and get a bunch of roasted locusts."

After hearing this, Yun Shasha walked towards the kitchen.

"Grandma Lu, are you talking about what we are cooking at home? Didn't we catch a lot of locusts yesterday?

I made it today to try it out! Who knew it would make Xiao Pang so greedy? If he wants to eat it, go back and make it for him! "

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. I cooked a pot of that stuff last night. It tasted so bad that even a pig couldn't eat it."

At this moment, Yun Feifei heard the sound of footsteps behind her, and then Yun Shasha handed her a string of roasted insects.

Yun Feifei took it and waved her hand, "Look, I was tinkering with this thing this morning. The village chief has already told you about it!"

"You're lying, this thing is so disgusting!" Xiaopang's voice rang out loudly. He didn't forget that this was what they cooked at home last night. It was smelly and disgusting.

"I don't care, I just want to eat, hurry up and give me the food!"

Yun Feifei didn't care about his fuss. She handed the skewer of insects in her hand to her sister beside her, "Lingling, you must be hungry. Eat quickly."

When Yun Lingling heard her sister's words, she took the skewer of insects from Yun Feifei's hand and put it into her mouth and started eating.

Yun Lingling's eyes lit up after tasting the food, and she quickened her pace and started eating.

When a few women who had been standing farther away saw this, they came forward with their children and pushed Mrs. Lu and Xiaopang away.

"Fei Fei, are you telling the truth? Is the meat smell coming from your house really the smell of these bugs?"

When they saw Yun Feifei nodding in the affirmative, they immediately started asking Yun Feifei how to make it smell so delicious.

You know, the village chief had already persuaded them to save some locusts as food yesterday, and their family has stored quite a lot now!

Once they learn how to make it, they can satisfy their family’s cravings!

After they asked the question, they looked at Yun Feifei seriously and waited for her answer.

Yun Feifei could only repeat what she had said yesterday.

After hearing this, everyone scattered and went home to do experiments.

Mrs. Lu also dragged her grandson Xiaopang back home. In order to save salt yesterday, she just washed the locusts with water and cooked them in the pot. She didn't soak them in salt at all. The dirt was still in the locusts' stomachs. It would be strange if they tasted good!

After sending away the people gathered at the door, Yun Feifei returned to the kitchen to continue grilling her insect skewers.

Yun Shasha and Yun Lingling also came to help.
