A retired aunt traveled through time and space, and her daughter became rich!

Although locusts flew across the sky from time to time, the overbearing fragrance still penetrated the noses of everyone present.

Su Mei held a small snow-white plate with a few fried locusts on it and walked to Aunt Su gracefully.

Aunt Su looked at the fat, brown, and oily worm and nodded, "Bring me a silver fork, and let me try it first!"

In fact, although Aunt Su likes to travel around and try all kinds of food, she always stays away from these unconventional special foods.

But the situation has come to this point, she has to eat it even if she grits her teeth!

Su Mei took out two small silver forks, knelt down and smiled, "Madam, this smells strange, I want to try it too."

Aunt Su smiled and said, "Okay, everyone, please feel free to try it!"

Su Mei was quick. Although she picked up the locusts at the same time as Aunt Su, she was the first one to put them in her mouth and chew them.

In fact, this was the first time in her life that she had eaten such a scary-looking insect.

But as a slave, how could she let the old lady be the first to eat?

However, she was very determined, thinking that even if it was terrible and unpalatable, she couldn't show it. After chewing it twice, she found it was quite crispy and had a little taste of chicken.

The other servants of the Su family also picked up food from the plates with their fingers.

They were all rough people who had eaten all kinds of rough food. The old lady and Miss Sumei had tasted it, so they were naturally not worried.

In fact, there was a boy who came from a farming family. He was naughty when he was a child. He caught a bunch of locusts in the wild, roasted them on the fire, and put them into his mouth.

Even though it doesn’t taste that good, it’s not too bad, right?

After tasting it, my eyes lit up.

Hey?

It's crunchy and fragrant when chewed, and there's some salt sprinkled on it. If you pair it with a little wine and a plate of peanuts, it's so delicious!

The villagers who were watching the fun on the side couldn't help but drool at how happily they were eating.

No, this thing, is it really edible?

Aunt Su looked around the room and made polite invitations.

"Fellow villagers, if you want to try it, just come and get it!"

As soon as she finished saying this, the boy who couldn't help but be greedy came over.

An old woman who was guarding the oil pan picked up the basin of fried locusts and handed it to him.

The young boy was really rude. He grabbed a handful with one hand, turned around and ran out, shouting as he ran, "Thank you so much, young man!"

This is deep fried goodness!

Normally, only in good years, their family would afford to fry some food, and those foods were used as gifts, so he could only eat two or three at most.

Even though they were fried locusts, it was still a good deal... The boy quickly stuffed two of them into his mouth and broke them into pieces in two bites... Oh my god! They were so delicious!

The boy stopped and stuffed the rest into the pocket of his shirt.

His grandmother has lost several teeth and can't chew hard things, but this one is so crispy and fragrant that he wants to take it back for his grandmother to eat.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look back again.

I saw that the villagers who were watching before were now eating.

The basin exploded, and more than a dozen hands reached out almost at the same time, but were empty in an instant.

It’s impossible to snatch it away.

When Aunt Su and her group came, they brought half a barrel of oil.

This half barrel of oil, if kept by an ordinary farmer, is enough for several families to use for a year.

But this time, all of it was used to fry locusts.

When the villagers recall this day, they all talk about it with relish and remember it with endless aftertaste.

"You don't know! Those fried locusts... smell good! So good!"

"Madam Yipin is so kind! She chose our village out of so many villages."

"That pot was this big... and more than half of the oil was poured out!"

"As soon as the cleaned locusts are put into the pot, oh my! The aroma wafts out immediately!"

"The locusts are fried until crispy and sizzling with oil. Grab a handful while they're still hot and stuff them into your mouth! It's so refreshing and delicious!"

"How much did you eat? Oh, I don't know either. Anyway, I wasn't hungry the next day!"

"We didn't just stand there and keep reaching out to eat them! We're grown up, how could we not have a good eye? We caught the locusts, cleaned them, and fried them in the oil pan!"

"Anyway, I just caught and ate the locusts. Before I knew it, I had caught all the locusts in the field! By the time I caught them all, all the locusts in the field had been cleared out!"

"The old lady left at night... Then everyone in our village learned to catch locusts to eat. When all the locusts in our village were gone, we went to the neighboring villages to catch them."

"It's strange. When people in other places mention it, they cry out in despair. They say the locusts are so fierce that they can cover the sky and eat everything. But in our area, there are some locusts coming one after another, but they are killed as soon as they show their heads. They don't fly that fiercely, so at least most of the crops have been saved."

"Later, I heard that the old lady was not only a first-rank imperial lady appointed by the emperor himself, but also a disciple of a god, and had supernatural powers!"

"People in our county say that the reason we didn't suffer from disasters and were able to help nearby counties and not have too many people starve to death is not only because the old lady taught us how to kill and eat locusts!"

"In Caodian Town, some people even saw the old lady walk to the nearby fields at night and ask the immortals to descend and cast a spell on the crops in the fields. Therefore, there are the fewest locusts in the fields near the town, and they are not that ferocious when they enter the fields."

"You still don't believe it! I heard that when the old lady was in the capital, she asked the immortals to kill hundreds of bandits! So many eyes were watching! Otherwise, how could the old lady be named a first-rank lady?"

"Our county has even raised some money to build a temple for the old lady and offer incense to her!"

Lin Laoer met Aunt Su and her group in a town two days' journey from Tongcheng.

As soon as he saw Aunt Su, he was shocked.

"What's wrong with mother? Are you feeling unwell?"

His eyes were blue and he looked listless. He looked three or four years older than when he passed away.

Aunt Su waved her hand.

"Nothing, I just didn't sleep well because of the journey."

It would be strange if I could sleep well.

I get up every night to operate the drone to spread special medicine on the fields... It was only the day before yesterday, after I passed the locust-stricken area, that I finally had some free time and could sleep a little longer at night.

After reuniting with Lin Lao Er, Aunt Su stopped caring about anything else. Even in broad daylight, she would doze off in the carriage to catch up on her sleep.

But just as she was drowsy, happiness points continued to arrive at her account at the same time.
