After eating the fried locusts, the people all praised them highly.

“I didn’t expect locusts to be edible and taste so good.”

"Hey, didn't you see that locusts are fried in oil? Who would be willing to fry them in oil?"

Everyone agreed when they heard this. They seldom eat stir-fried dishes. Even if they do eat it occasionally, they only use a small amount of oil. It is considered pretty good if there are some oil droplets in the soup.

Even so, they were still very happy. After all, locusts could not only be sold for money, but also eaten as food. This was really the best news for them since they learned about the locust plague.

When everyone was happy that the locusts were edible, Jiang Zhong went back with three empty small backpacks.

Zheng Shao was already full by now, and because he ate too much, he couldn't help burping.

"Hiccup~"

"Hiccup~"

"Hiccup~"

"Sir, the task you assigned to me is completed."

"So soon, why do you look so bad?"

Jiang Zhong felt sad when he thought that he hadn't eaten much before they were all snatched away.

"My lord, the robbery is over. The robbery is over."

"Just grab it, why are you crying? We still have a lot, let you eat as much as you want."

"But this isn't made by Miss Li. Can I eat it?"

"of course."

Zheng Shao agreed to Jiang Zhong and turned to look at Li Mengyue.

"Right, Miss Li."

Li Mengyue saw a middle-aged man in Jiang who looked so aggrieved that he wanted to stop crying because his things were stolen. She thought it was too irritating and said directly, "You can eat it. It was originally for everyone to eat."

Jiang Zhong got a positive answer and was relieved of his psychological burden. He quickly walked to the fried locusts, grabbed a fried locust with one hand and put it into his mouth with the other hand.

My goodness, he looked like a beggar who hadn’t eaten for hundreds of lifetimes.

Zheng Shao simply turned his head away, telling everyone a message: I don’t know this good-for-nothing, don’t look at me, don’t look at me.

Thanks to Jiang Zhong’s publicity, people now know that locusts are edible.

Li Mengyue struck while the iron was hot and said loudly: "Everyone can come and try it to see how it tastes."

boom!

This sentence was like a thunderclap, hitting the crowd, and they all ran towards the locust bombing.

"What are you doing? Are there no rules? Line up. Whoever dares not to line up will be disqualified from eating locusts for free."

"You, I'm talking about you. When that auntie comes out, you don't have to queue. You are disqualified."

"Ah, why? I'm not the only one squeezing."

The great god who was named was unwilling to accept the defeat and managed to escape from Li Youliang, merged into the crowd, and lined up as usual.

When Zheng Shao saw this scene, his face suddenly turned very bad.

In front of several county magistrates, Miss Li and the people of Qingshan Town, he felt embarrassed that the people under his rule were so unruly.

He immediately issued an order that anyone who cut in line or forced their way forward would not have their locusts caught collected.

The crowd that was pushing forward heard that the locusts would not be collected, and the huge place immediately became as quiet as a chicken.

Seeing the people lined up, Zhou Juan stood in front and arranged to distribute locusts, comforting everyone: "Don't worry, everyone can eat."

An hour later, the people who had eaten their fill no longer had the frustration and despair on their faces. They were motivated to catch locusts again and were full of fighting spirit and hope.

The people became so excited and happy that they were like sparks of vitality, with sparkling light in their eyes, and their joy and anticipation were beyond words.

"What are you waiting for? Those who are not in line should hurry up and catch locusts. Whether you want to sell them or eat them, you can't sit idle."

"Yes, yes, yes, hurry up and catch it."

"Fried locusts are so delicious. I want to catch more and fry them when I get home tonight."

"Tsk, frying locusts requires oil. Do you have that much oil at home?"

"You can stir-fry without oil, and you don't have to deep-fry to make soup!"

"That's right, hurry up and catch them, don't let the locusts run away."

In fact, after the large group of locusts was wiped out, there were still many scattered locusts jumping around.

The locusts that were flying around were puzzled when they saw that the main force was gone.

Before they could gather their troops and regroup into a large army, they were captured.

They were very confused. These people with green eyes were waving nets and catching their kind, as if they were treating them as food.

Sun Biao, Wu Zhen, the magistrates of Huangyao County, Shuimo County, and Gugang County all enjoyed the meal to their heart's content.

Especially Sun Biao, who touched his round belly and burped continuously, and walked in front of Li Mengyue.

"Hiccup~"

"Miss Li, hiccup, sorry, hiccup."

Sun Biao waited for a while and waited until the hiccups stopped before continuing to talk to Li Mengyue.

"Miss Li, did you think of this method of frying locusts a long time ago, or did you come up with it on the spur of the moment?"

Sun Biao asked as he thought.

If Miss Li had made arrangements in advance, it means that Miss Li's mind and strategy are much stronger than men, but she is just a girl, which is a pity.

Li Mengyue had no idea what Sun Biao was thinking, so she said casually, "Is there any need to think about this? Everyone in Qingshan Town knows that fried locusts are edible."

What Li Mengyue said was right. The Li family had been doing locust business in the town for more than two months.

Nowadays, not only Qingshan Town, but most people in Wuning County also know that locusts are edible.

Some poor people thought that the locusts sold in the town were expensive, so they would let their children catch them in the fields and then cook them at home to satisfy their children's cravings.

When Sun Biao, Wu Zhen and others heard this, their eyes towards Li Mengyue changed again.

First, they reminded everyone to harvest rice in advance, then they led out an army of ducks, and then they made explosives of locusts. These consecutive operations reduced the harm caused by the locust plague to the greatest extent.

No matter what, Miss Li's actions are equivalent to saving Qingshan Prefecture and she is their benefactor.

"Miss Li, this is my personal seal. When you go to Mengchuan County in the future, no matter what happens, just come to the county government office to find me." Sun Biao promised.

Then Zheng Shao, Wu Zhen, Huang Yao County Magistrate, Shui Mo County Magistrate, and Gu Gang County Magistrate also gave tokens and made guarantees, which meant that Li Mengyue had the promises of six county magistrates at the same time.

There are only seven county towns in the entire Qingshan Prefecture. Excluding Wuning County, the remaining six county magistrates are all here.

With their words, Li Mengyue won’t have to worry about anyone finding fault with her no matter which county she opens a store or does business in.

Originally, Li Mengyue made so many preparations before and after the locust plague came, mainly for the purpose of saving more people and collecting more gratitude points.

Unexpectedly, she would get in touch with the seven county magistrates, become their guest of honor, and even got the promise that as long as she didn't do anything illegal, she could do whatever she wanted.

After hearing Li Mengyue's thoughts, the system immediately started to show off.

[Host, we can be more aggressive next time, everything will be fine, right? ]

[The one walking sideways is a crab, the question is, are you one? 】

【Well. 】

The system was speechless.

"Drip drop~"

"Alert, alert! The locust plague will arrive in Wujiang County in one day. Please be prepared. Please be prepared."

[Host, alert! ]

[I heard it. There is still one day left. It is enough. ]
