Chapter 286 There will be no locust plague from now on
That night, the soldiers and villagers actually ate all the locusts they caught.
Because there are too many locusts, many people even stretch their stomachs until they are round and they don’t want to move when they are lying on the ground.
Lu Bu burped, lay on the grass, looking at the clear sky.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu sat beside him.
"Are you two full?" Lu Bu asked.
"Reply to Wen Hou, I'm already full." The two of them replied.
Sun Ce said: "If it weren't for Wen Hou, I really didn't know that locusts could also be eaten."
"I am not worried about crops at all now, but I am a little worried about locusts." Zhou Yu also said: "The villagers have tasted the sweetness, but I am afraid they will catch them every day in the future. In short, the locust plague will disappear and the locusts may disappear."
"I have said a long time ago that there is nothing in this world that will not be eaten by people." Lu Bu smiled and said to the two of them: "As long as the villagers taste the benefits, some people will take them out to show off. Then they will spread them one by one, and you don't believe it. It won't take long to see if you want to watch it. In the near future, people will catch locusts everywhere to make delicious dishes."
"It's getting late, I'll ask someone to set up a tent for Wen Hou." Sun Ce said as he was about to stand up.
Lu Bu stopped him: "There is no need to set up a tent, I will fall asleep in the open air tonight. Just settle down for the two ladies."
When the soldiers and villagers learned to eat locusts, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao did not follow.
When the two beauties saw the locusts, they were still shocking and could not speak anyway.
Lu Bu did not force them to eat.
Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao are different from the village women in the village.
They have been spoiled since childhood and have never suffered any hardships. How can they swallow the roasted locusts?
After all, even if the locusts are roasted, they still make people feel a little disgusting.
Village women are different.
They have suffered and been hungry, and they know that as long as they can fill their stomachs, they can eat anything.
What's more, the roasted locust tastes really good.
The two ladies refused to eat, so they could only say that they missed a feast of delicious food.
That night, people ate and drank enough and slept beautifully.
Because I ate too much, no one remembered it too early even when it was dawn.
As the sun was noon, the soldiers and villagers in the camp were still asleep.
Lu Bu got up early.
Sitting on a stone, he looked into the distance, as if he was expecting something.
Suddenly, he saw a thick cloud appearing in the distance.
The clouds moved very quickly, just coming to them.
"All up, it's time to work!" Lu Bu shouted.
His voice echoed in the camp and the soldiers quickly got up.
When the soldiers stood up, the villagers also stood up.
Seeing the thick cloud coming from afar, everyone knew what would be coming soon.
However, the villagers were no longer as frightened as they saw locusts a few days ago, and their eyes were filled with expectations.
"The locust is here!" Someone shouted: "Go and catch it!"
A shout woke everyone present.
People carried cloth bags and flocked toward the locust swarm.
Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, who were standing beside Lu Bu, looked surprised.
Sun Ce widened his eyes and said in surprise: "It's crazy, everyone is crazy. The locust plague has turned into this way, as if they will be disappointed without locusts."
"Once a person's appetite is opened, there is nothing in this world that can stop it." Lu Bu smiled slightly and said to Zhou Yu and Sun Ce: "From now on, there will be no locust plague in the world. Moreover, the market price of locusts will gradually increase. When I see Zhang Shiping, I have to provide him with a business opportunity."
"Zhang Shiping?" Zhou Yu asked, "Is it the Zhongshan merchant?"
"Who else can I have if it's not him?" Lu Bu said: "He and I have already cooperated. Zhang Shiping relies on me to make money, and I also rely on him to make money. Otherwise, where did I get so much money to support the soldiers of the three armies?"
With a smile, Lu Bu said to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu: "You know, no matter what you do, you have to spend money."
Sun Ce once dominated Jiangdong, and of course he understood what Lu Bu said.
But he never dared to think that locusts can be used to make money.
People faced the locusts and tried hard to beat them, picking them up and putting them in a cloth bag.
If locusts can think like humans, they will definitely be depressed.
They are here to harm the crops, and they become prey for humans. Before they can even pounce on the crops, they are put into cloth bags.
Catching locusts can be roasted for eating, and the taste is unusually delicious, and the news spread quickly.
People who have suffered disasters or have never suffered, rushed over to participate in the capture ranks.
After watching the scene of people catching locusts for a whole day, Lu Bu knew that this time would have caused a great famine and ended dramatically by his barbecue.
The army stationed in a locust plague for several days.
When Lu Bu led his soldiers to leave, the locust plague had been cured.
News of locust plagues everywhere has long been spread to Pengcheng.
Chen Gong, who is in charge of Pengcheng affairs, has sent people to prepare to settle the victims.
Because of these things, Chen Gong did not go out of the city to welcome Lu Bu, but with Lu Bu's army returning, the news of the locust plague being cured also reached Chen Gong's ears.
When he heard that Lu Bu had arrived outside Pengcheng City, Chen Gong hurriedly brought a group of officials to greet him.
Those who came out with him were Pang Tong and the generals who arrived a few days ago.
Seeing Lu Bu, Chen Gong and others came up to meet him.
"Wen Hou has worked hard all the way, it's really hard." When everyone saw the ceremony, Chen Gong asked, "Dare you asking Wen Hou, have you seen a locust plague in the fields on the way?"
Lu Bu, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce looked at each other, and the three of them grinned.
Chen Gong was confused by his smile, and Zhou Yu said, "Although the locust plague was very terrible, Wen Hou was cured."
At the same time, he received news that the locust plague was cured and Lu Bu returned. Chen Gong had already guessed that it was likely that it had something to do with him.
But the words that came out of Zhou Yu's mouth still made him feel a little unacceptable.
After the locust plague, there was a famine immediately afterwards. I don’t know what method Lu Bu used, but he quickly cured the disaster.
"Dare you dare to ask Wen Hou, what is the identity method?" Chen Gong asked Lu Bu tentatively.
"There is no use of any method, just let people know that locusts can be eaten and they are delicious." Lu Bu replied with a smile: "It won't take long, locusts will become rare delicacies. From now on, I'm afraid there will be no locust plague in the world again."
