Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Reaches the Pinnacle of Life

Qiu Tong had no idea what the villagers were thinking.

Even if she knew, she wouldn't show any change in expression; she had long anticipated their current predicament.

She knew the course of this world in advance, so how could she not have guessed the consequences of their rejection?

Locust plagues occur frequently in many parts of the country, so Qiu Tong thought of checking on the situation in the nearest disaster area.

This saves time and helps people in the disaster area as quickly as possible.

Given Qiu Tong's outstanding performance in the previous two instances, the leaders instructed that the plan implemented by Qiu Tong be carried out simultaneously in areas across the country where locust plagues are frequent.

At this point, Qiu Tong was no longer an unknown figure in the eyes of the leaders; she was a hero who had solved the food crisis in many regions.

Although the country will face several difficult months, compared to the predicament of not being able to grow food for three consecutive years, the planting method taught by Qiu Tong is already a life-saving method.

The government also encouraged urban residents to go to the countryside to farm, helping the country overcome its difficulties.

Those with ability and connections are naturally unwilling, so the poor can only go to the countryside to look for opportunities, hoping to change their fate.

Even if you stay in the city now, there's nothing to do, and you might even run out of food. So why not go to the countryside and try your luck?

At this point, Qiu Tong suggested to the leaders that, if possible, areas severely affected by locust plagues should plant some plants that locusts don't like to eat, such as cotton and jujubes.

If the area is not suitable for growing these plants, then the only option is to change the local ecosystem and raise some fish.

Given the current drought situation, it would be very difficult to implement this, so it can be postponed and implemented later.

However, locusts mainly reproduce in arid regions; humid and warm regions are not suitable for locusts to lay eggs.

In areas where the locust plague is not severe, it is suggested that these locusts be caught and deep-fried to make a delicious dish.

The leaders felt that the previous suggestions were not difficult to implement, but they would need time to grow and develop.

But upon hearing that they would have to eat insects, the leaders, who were usually calm and collected even in the face of difficulties, changed their expressions.

People at that time still couldn't accept eating insects. Apart from some ethnic minorities who had this custom, everyone else was terrified of it.

Qiu Tong knew that when locusts swarmed together, they were poisonous and inedible, but she had a way to solve the problem.

The problem can only be solved by adding some things from her space, but this method is not suitable for nationwide implementation.

So she had no choice but to use her own two feet to walk through each insect-infested area and spread these things.

Qiu Tong also proposed a plan to the leaders to prevent insect infestations. She extracted one or two methods left by her predecessors and suggested them to the leaders.

The hardest-hit areas not only have a lot of insects, but also a lot of insect eggs, which will quickly hatch and produce new locusts.

To eradicate locust plagues, we must start by eliminating their eggs.

Qiu Tong also hinted to the leaders that the research institute should study some insect control products, but Qiu Tong's words were rather subtle, and the other party might not understand her meaning.

She couldn't openly produce these pesticides; she was just a country girl, where would she get such knowledge? It would make people doubt her existence.

So now she can only go to each insect-infested area and personally cook fried locusts for everyone.

She planned to go to whichever disaster area she wanted to visit. First, she would have Wang Shaoyu contact the local commune and have the people there use giant nets to catch the locusts and starve them for a few days. Once Qiu Tong arrived, she would personally cook and deal with them.

Then oil was also a big problem. Oil was very expensive in this era, and no household was willing to fry food.

So Qiu Tong had no choice but to rely on herself. She caught all sorts of wild animals along the way, just like she did back in Tangjia Village, living off the land and water.

Then, the captured wild boars were fried to extract oil, which was then stored away.

When Qiu Tong encounters any animal with fat on its body, she extracts its fat and extracts large amounts of animal oil.

From then on, Wang Shaoyu and his friends were in for a treat, as Qiu Tong fed them a variety of dishes every day.

The weather is neither too cold nor too hot right now, but meat can't be stored for too long, so Qiu Tong basically eats whatever she catches on the same day.

If she caught a large prey that she couldn't finish eating, she would process, marinate, smoke, and store the leftover meat.

The salt was all found on the road. As mentioned before, Qiu Tong's space contains all sorts of instruments.

Among them were instruments for finding minerals. Qiu Tong, by sheer luck, found a natural salt mine on the road.

As long as Xiao Fu is given the relevant knowledge, she can extract refined salt on the spot.

Wang Shaoyu and the others were stunned by Qiu Tong's actions.

People at that time generally did not know how to extract salt, unlike in the 21st century with the Internet, where a simple online search will reveal all sorts of methods.

Along the way, they encountered snakes, insects, rats, and ants, but Qiu Tong didn't let any of them go, catching them all to serve as food for everyone.

Snakes and rats were fine, as most of the people present had eaten them before. But insects and ants were something they initially refused to eat.

Seeing Qiu Tong and her brothers enjoying their food, with the insects fried until crispy and the aroma wafting into their nostrils, gradually put them at ease, and they finally picked up the food, closed their eyes, and ate it.

Everyone was immediately captivated by the taste of the fried insects and began to scramble to eat them, no longer resisting.

Whether they flew in the sky or swam in the water, none of them escaped being hunted by Qiu Tong.

Unlike the north, the rivers in the south have not dried up; in fact, they have risen due to the abundant rainfall.

Catching fish and shrimp is quite easy; it's a piece of cake for Qiu Tong.

With Xiao Fu by her side, a constant stream of knowledge is implanted into her mind, making it easy for her to catch fish and shrimp.

Patriots and others had enjoyed such a luxurious life before, so they remained very calm.

But Wang Shaoyu's teammates were all children from poor families. They had never eaten such a sumptuous meal before, and some even ate with tears in their eyes.

Perhaps only the young master, soldier Wang Shaoyu, and Qiao Youming remained calm, as they had eaten all sorts of things in the capital.

However, Wang Shaoyu was also puzzled by Aiguo and the others' performance.

Their behavior was so convincing, it was as if they ate these things all the time, but is that even possible?

Although he had heard that Qiu Tong was the only hunter in the village, he did not think that Qiu Tong could hunt any good prey.

But seeing her skillful catching techniques and trap setting these past few days, he started to question his own existence.

However, this did not prevent his feelings for Qiu Tong from deepening. Whether she was prey or not was not the issue he cared about.

He's just that he's on missions all year round, so he's quite sensitive to everything, which is why he noticed these details.

He knew Qiu Tong had a secret, but who doesn't have one or two secrets?

As long as what she does doesn't harm the country, he will continue to love her and won't be unworthy of the military uniform he wears.

The more he got to know Qiu Tong, the deeper his feelings for her grew. He couldn't even imagine what he would do if Qiu Tong were a dangerous person like a spy.

However, judging from the current situation, Qiu Tong's actions are all for the country and its people, and have nothing to do with espionage.

He could only suppress the idea and try his best not to think about it.

They ate and drank their way along, heading towards the areas severely affected by the insect infestation.

Wang Shaoyu originally thought that Qiu Tong would fry the locusts like she did on the way.

After all, they had eaten at least eight, if not ten, kinds of insects along the way.

Wang Shaoyu and the others naturally assumed that Qiu Tong's disaster relief method was to fry locusts.

They were actually right about half of it, but they had no way of knowing the other half.

Qiao Youming specifically asked Qiu Tong, "Since we're going to fry locusts, why don't we just report it directly and let each region severely affected by the locust plague catch and fry them themselves? Why go through the trouble of sending them to each region one by one?"

Qiu Tong offered some explanations, saying, "You think eating locusts will solve the problem? Locusts lay eggs while they eat. If you eat the worms, what will happen to the eggs?"

There are also swarms of locusts, and they all produce a toxin in their bodies. Deep-frying them directly can kill people, so I need to cook them using a special method to remove the toxin.

Now tell me, do I need to go to the scene?

Leaving aside the issue of toxins, the problem of insect eggs alone is already a major headache.
