Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her

This is too generous.

If you ignore the bunch of grasshoppers and just mention the rabbit, this thank you gift is already very generous.

Most families in their village rely on a few acres of land for food all year round. Not to mention meat, even coarse grains are not enough.

Many families have not eaten meat for several years, but some people will spend money to buy half a pound or a pound of meat during the Chinese New Year so that their family members can taste meat.

Even when cooking, I would not bear to put it in. I would just cut a few slices of meat, put them on the bottom of the pot and wipe the pot. This would make people feel that the dishes were especially delicious.

However, when the women who were talking to Li Mengyue saw the rabbit she was carrying, some of them swallowed their saliva, but no one showed any covetous expression.

The aunties and grandmas had clear and upright looks in their eyes, which raised Li Mengyue's favorable impression of the villagers to a higher level. She felt that they would not help a group of ungrateful people.

Seeing the aunt and the lady swallowing their saliva, Li Mengyue said casually, "Auntie, don't underestimate these grasshoppers, they are just insects. Catch some, remove their wings, clean them, and cook them. They will taste delicious."

"What? Grasshoppers are edible!"

Li Mengyue didn't know how much impact her casual words would have on the aunties and grandmas.

After all, in their perception, grasshoppers are a kind of flying insects in the ground that feed on plant leaves.

No one had ever thought that grasshoppers could be eaten.

If the girl from the Li family was not lying, could they catch more and cook for the children?

You know, every household has little food now, there is still more than a month before the autumn harvest, and there is not much money at home.

In previous years, we could still buy some grains to eat, but for some reason, the price of grain in the town has gone up recently.

In the past, miscellaneous grains were three cents per pound, coarse grains were five cents per pound, and fine grains were eight cents per pound. Now, miscellaneous grains are five cents per pound, coarse grains are eight cents per pound, and fine grains are ten cents per pound.

Although the increase was not much, for farmers like them, every penny had to be spent carefully. As long as they could make do, they didn't want to spend money on buying food.

Recently, many people have gone to the outskirts of the mountain to dig wild vegetables and look for wild fruits to eat.

"Yue girl, you said that grasshoppers are edible, is that true? Won't I be poisoned if I eat them?" An old lady who looked weather-beaten, with tears in her eyes, was expecting to hear a definite answer from Li Mengyue.

Li Mengyue looked at the aunties and grandmas surrounding her. Without exception, they were all wearing patched clothes and had calluses on their hands from working.

I know very well what they are expecting.

After all, she didn't observe deliberately, but she found that many villagers walked weakly and their faces did not look very good. It was obvious that they had not eaten enough for a long time and were malnourished.

It seems that the poverty of the villagers is even worse than she had imagined.

Facing the eager gazes of the aunts and grandmas, Li Mengyue nodded and said firmly: "Not only can they be eaten, but there are many ways to eat them. They can be roasted, fried, or mixed with rice. If you add some grasshoppers to make wild vegetable soup, the taste will be even better."

"Ah! I didn't expect there are so many ways to eat grasshoppers. But I heard from the older generation that grasshoppers are poisonous and can kill people if eaten."

After hearing that grasshoppers are poisonous, Li Mengyue understood why the villagers would rather starve than catch grasshoppers to eat.

Another reason is that they believe grasshoppers are poisonous and cannot be eaten.

In order to ensure the smooth development of the locust snack business, Li Mengyue decided to clear up everyone's misunderstandings and explained: "Grasshoppers themselves are not poisonous. It is only during a locust plague that a large number of grasshoppers gather in this specific environment, and the substances they produce are harmful to the human body. Eating them will cause poisoning or even death."

"In fact, the grasshoppers in the fields right now are not poisonous and are completely edible. Aunts and sisters, if you are really worried, don't catch the grasshoppers that have changed color. Those grasshoppers are already locusts."

Originally, Li Mengyue said these words to let them know that grasshoppers are not poisonous and can be eaten with confidence.

Unexpectedly, when the aunt and the grandmother heard the word locust, their faces changed with fear.

"Oh my god, a plague of locusts is coming."

When an old lady shouted this, the people surrounding Li Mengyue all scattered and ran back home.

Guan Jian ran and shouted, "The locust plague is coming."

Li Mengyue didn't know if this was an unintentional result. She just wanted everyone to know that grasshoppers were edible and stop resisting them. Unexpectedly, everyone thought that a locust plague was coming.

The system was also stunned by the host's luck.

The moment before, he was still worrying about how to make the villagers believe that there would be a locust plague. He carried things to the village chief's house, ready to tell the village chief indirectly.

Unexpectedly, while I was talking to the villagers, news of a locust plague spread.

Li Mengyue quickly grabbed an old lady's arm and said helplessly, "Hey, I didn't say there was a locust plague."

The old lady was also in a hurry to go home and tell her family the news of the locust plague.

Seeing Li Mengyue pulling her, she stopped walking, patted Li Mengyue's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Yue girl, thank you for telling us this."

"You don't know, I also experienced a locust plague when I was a child. The locusts covered the sky and the sun, and not a single leaf of the crops was left. I don't know how many people starved to death that year."

"I didn't see the grasshoppers you mentioned. I just thought there were more grasshoppers in the fields than in previous years, and didn't think it was a locust plague. Also, the weather this year is too abnormal. The rice is in the grain filling stage, but the fields are running out of water. If our village wasn't next to a big river and we couldn't carry water for irrigation, the rice would have died of drought long ago."

"I have to go back quickly and tell the boss to prepare for the harvest early." After saying this, the old lady quickly walked back home.

[Host, since the villagers know about the locust plague, we don't need to go to the village chief's house. A rabbit can make a delicious meal.]

[No, I still have to go. Not to mention that the village chief had put in a lot of effort when the family was divided, even to persuade the villagers to raise ducks, he also needed his help.]

【All right! 】

Seeing that the system was reluctant, Li Mengyue promised: "When all villagers raise ducks and the locust plague is over, I will make you roast duck. I guarantee you won't be able to stop eating it."

[Ah! Really? Host, let's go to the village chief's house as soon as possible. ]

The system doesn’t know how delicious roast duck is, but since the host can say it, it must be very delicious.

After all, before binding, it carefully and completely read the host's information.

It was discovered that the host was not only extremely powerful and had never failed in a mission, but was also good at cooking, with skills comparable to those of a five-star chef.

At that time, it only thought that by following such a host, it could eat all kinds of delicious food, so it didn't consider anyone else and directly forced itself to bind.

Sure enough, the host did not disappoint it. In the past two months, it had eaten a lot of snacks with the host and tasted many delicacies made by the host himself.

And in its eyes, every dish made by the host is so delicious that it makes your tongue fall off. Every time it eats, it burps, but still wants to eat one more bite.

Unable to bear the way the system's eyes lit up when it heard about delicious food, Li Mengyue cut off the connection and walked towards the village chief's house.
