"Mom is fine, what are you doing here? Is there anything you want to discuss with mom?"
"Mother, I have an idea about this locust plague." Yang Qian nodded and gave his answer.
Soon, the housekeeper Uncle Song and Manager Chen, who also had not rested well, rushed to the front hall and cast their expectant eyes on Yang Qian.
Yang Qian, the eldest son, has brought them surprises and miracles time and time again, and they also look forward to Yang Qian being able to solve the locust plague.
"I want to buy locusts from those people and use them to make food."
The eyes of the stewards, Uncle Song and Steward Chen, stood up, and they stared at Yang Qian in dumbfounded manner. They did not react for a long time, just like when Mr. Han heard this idea just now.
Yang Qian glanced at his mother Han again. Mother Han quickly patted Yang Qian's hand and said softly, "It's okay, everyone didn't realize it for a while. They will also support you like a mother."
.”
Manager Chen took a deep breath, bowed deeply to Yang Qian and said, "Sir, you are indeed a very kind and compassionate person.
In order for those people to survive after the locust plague, I tried to think of a reason to give money to the people."
"Madam, what do you think?" Uncle Song, the housekeeper, nodded slightly to Yang Qian, then his eyes fell on Mr. Han.
Mrs. Han looked at her son in front of her with a smile and appreciation. "Of course I am on Dalang's side. If he is willing to do this, then it is naturally good..."
"Mother..." Yang Qian looked at this mother who, although she didn't quite understand her behavior, still trusted her without reservation, and felt a slight pain in the softest part of her heart.
Uncle Song, the housekeeper, nodded solemnly and replied.
"I also think this method is good, and my wife also agrees with the young master's strategy, so we will naturally follow the young master's instructions..."
"In that case, first take out three hundred guan from the mansion and give it to Dalang, and let him buy the locusts. If it is not enough in the future..."
Yang Qian quickly shook his head. "Mom, you don't have to do this. I still have two hundred bucks here."

"But that's what my mother bought you for the fragments of "Spring and Autumn Gongyang Zhuan", so you'd better keep it," my mother, Han, advised.
Yang Qian slapped his forehead, and then he remembered that he was busy discussing the locust plague yesterday and forgot to explain it to his mother, so he told the Zheng brothers that they wanted to buy this thing to celebrate their mother's sixtieth birthday.
came out.
After hearing this, my mother, Mrs. Han, suddenly understood and nodded. Instead of being displeased, she actually smiled happily.
"My son has done a great job. Although our family has lost a rare collection of fragments, it has preserved the filial piety of the Zheng brothers towards their mother."
Seeing that his mother did not blame him, Yang Qian was relieved. In the end, the Han family asked the housekeeper Uncle Song to take out a hundred strings from the house and give it to Yang Qian, asking him to use it to purchase locusts from the people.
After the matter was settled, Yang Qian left the front hall, walked towards his own courtyard, and stepped into his own courtyard. Only then did Yang Qian come to his senses.
Hey, it seems that everyone praises and commends their purchase of locusts, but why doesn't anyone ask how the locust delicacies they make taste?
"Master, let's go quickly. Let's go back and catch up on our nap first. I'm almost exhausted..." Zhili almost bumped into Yang Qian who suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Why doesn't anyone ask me what the dishes I cook with locusts taste like?" Yang Qian looked at Zhili and asked.
"Hehehe, I really can't hold it any longer and go to bed first. Master, please go and have some rest..." Zhili didn't answer, but turned around and left ruthlessly.
Yang Qian's whole body was in bad shape. He really pissed Husky off. After all, since ancient times, sages and sages must have been regarded as crazy by others when their behavior was not understood by others.
Just wait, wait for the fried locusts, fried locusts, and locust sauce to be cooked, and then you will look at me with admiration. When the time comes, I will only leave you with a handsome figure who is aloof and arrogant.
But now, Yang Qian needs to do one thing, sleep, and have a good sleep.
Magistrate Xu, Prime Minister Xu and other officials from Yingze County were all frowning in the back hall, while a group of officers were standing outside the hall, talking in low voices.
Just today, I have received bad news from the governor of Xingyang County. The locust plague will probably arrive in Xingyang County in a few days, and Xingze County, located in the northeast of Xingyang County, will bear the brunt.
"Floods, plagues, and now there's a locust plague. What on earth is God trying to do? Is this going to be endless?" Xu Xian Cheng couldn't help but slapped the table hard, and said helplessly.
"Okay, now is not the time to complain. What we should consider now is how to deal with this upcoming locust plague."
Magistrate Xu glared at Magistrate Xu who was a bit rude, glanced at the officials present, and gave instructions in a deep voice.
A veteran official stroked his long gray beard and said helplessly.
"Once this locust plague occurs, the most we can do is call on the people to arrest more and then burn all those damn locusts to prevent them from causing trouble to others."
"This year, I can only do this. We will try our best to mobilize more people to catch locusts." Xu County Prime Minister also nodded in agreement, somewhat helplessly.

Outside the Junzi Chive Restaurant, a citizen from Xingyang County who had just bought two chive boxes was looking at the chive box in his hand that he had already taken a big bite of.
"Oh, why do I just like this one? I have eaten it for so many days, but every time I pass by here and smell the smell of this leek box, I feel so hungry..."
"You can get tired of eating such delicious food, so why don't you just stop eating it and give it to me." Xingzi, a commoner who was still queuing next to him, swallowed his saliva and complained angrily.
"Hey, brother, look, what's written on it..." Another citizen waiting in line to buy a chive box suddenly shouted.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way of those who don't understand, and let me take a look." An elderly scribe who had just been at the end of the queue suddenly lit up and revealed his identity as a scholar.
When he got close to the crowd and saw clearly the notice of Junzijiu Restaurant, the elderly scribe couldn't help but be startled.
"Hey, what did Mr. Yang want to do? He actually wants to buy locusts..."
"I said, old sir, are you dazzled?"
"That's right, why did you buy that thing? It's just some harmful insects. It's a waste of firewood to burn it."
"Don't talk nonsense, I have a very clear hearing and eyesight. That's obviously what it says..."
Manager Chen walked out of the restaurant at this time and announced in a loud voice.
"This old gentleman is right. From now on, our Junzijiu Restaurant will purchase locusts from all the folks in Xingyang County.
The price is two cents per catty, and the minimum purchase price is one catty. It doesn’t matter whether you buy one catty or a thousand catties, it’s still two cents per catty.”
