Chapter 207 Roasted Locust Legs

“A cold noodle set.”

Pei Shuo chose a corner to sit in and ordered food without looking at the water cards. Although he hadn't been here for a while, he knew everything about changing the water cards in Sun Niang's foot shop.

"Young Master Pei, I haven't seen you for a long time." Li Gang diligently wiped the table, shouted to the kitchen to register the dishes, and then reminisced about the past with Pei Shuo.

Pei Shuo smiled and nodded, without saying a word.

The cool noodles are served.

Mix the noodles with spinach juice to dye the dough green. The dough is stretched, thorned into twists, and stretched the noodles repeatedly. In this process, the length of the noodles is increasing and tough. Just rely on a pair of hands to control the thickness of the noodles, boil it in the pot, and then use cold water to match it with stir-fried radish sauce, refreshing bean sprouts, crispy shredded cucumbers, seasonal vegetables, dried tomatoes, and braised soft-boiled eggs. Mix the noodles evenly. The thorny noodles are covered with the fried radish sauce with a strong taste, and the meat is grilled with one chopstick, and the bean sprouts are shredded cucumbers, which is full of flavor. Finally, it is accompanied by a daily cooling soup that changes every day. It is also a kind of adjustment for foodies who have eaten sweet and sour cherry meat and hibiscus chicken slices for a long time.

Pei Shuo mixed the cold noodles evenly, picked them up one by one, chewed them slowly, and the street shops also felt like an important banquet.

His way of eating was in sharp contrast to the large bowls of wine and meat around him, and the peddlers and pawns who talked and laughed. There was an invisible barrier between them. Pei Shuo's loneliness and posture could not affect them, and their circle could not spread.

"If Mr. Pei is put into the window, there will probably be a large number of female family members in our store to break through the threshold." Li Gang touched Li Rou on his shoulder, and she was stunned, "It's dark when you wake up."

Li Rou, who was awakened, hit him with pink fists: "If you have the ability, go and invite Mr. Pei to sit by the window."

"I dare not, Mr. Pei must have been waiting for Sister Yaozhu to send her home." Before, he came to see A Yao go back, and they were used to it. Li Gang thought of Li Rou's envious expression just now, and thought of a possibility, and said, "Li Rou, I tell you, you must not compare Mr. Pei when you find a husband, then you will not be able to get married!"

Li Rou glared at him, "I just need to find a husband who can subdue you."

I went back and told A Yao that Pei Shuo was here.

Pei Shuo is here?

A Yao was stunned for a moment, packed up her work, washed her hands, and then went out to see someone after finishing her hair.

"A Yao." He wiped his mouth with a towel, obviously he had eaten it. Yu Guang noticed that A Yao came out, and his eyes were soft in an instant, and thousands of stars were shining in his eyes. "Let's go."

"Boss, let's go first."

It was already the time to close. A Yao said to Sun Niang and went out with Pei Shuo.

Pei Shuo usually doesn't call her to leave so early. I guess there is something wrong, so she just guessed it casually. He nodded in agreement: "Well, I can't make up some things, but they are not important things, just think about it casually."

"ah……"

Pei Shuo stopped and asked, "What would you do if the locust plague comes?"

Locust plague.

If the locust plague comes, it will inevitably cover the sky and the sun. Wherever the locust army goes, there will be no grass growing. If there is nothing after eating food, even your companions will eat it. In the face of the huge swarm of locusts, your personal power will become insignificant.

When Pei Shuo asked about this kind of thing, A Yao was anxious: "Is it..."

Shhh—

Don't ask.

Pei Shuo shook his head at her.

"You must be careful." A Yao said, he nodded and urged her to answer: "If the locust plague comes, the capital will not be affected, and the fields in the suburbs will suffer."

As they said that, they returned to A Yao's house, Pei Shuo sat down in the yard, A Yao went to the kitchen to prepare tea for him, and a small plate of walnut kernels with tea.

At her own home, A Yao speaks without restraint.

"The locust plague is really big. Are you going to catch locusts?"

"According to past experience, we will form a group of ten people to catch locusts in a network. I think the past practices have not been very effective for locust plagues. Either thousands of white birds suddenly rush to eat locusts, or the locusts migrate away until the place is damaged by locusts and there is no place that can be harmed. However, locust plagues will still occur again in that place that is damaged by locusts."

"Locust control..." A Yao vaguely remembered that she had seen it, "After spring and autumn harvest, plowing, ox, sheep, etc., trampling the soil firmly, you should be able to cut off the locust eggs."

Farmers use the method of digging locust eggs. If they do not do this, the locust eggs will be in the soil, and two or three batches of locusts will be born in a year. If this harassment is done, the economy of the local village will easily be dragged down.

However, what Pei Shuo should want is how to catch locusts, and the prevention and control must be done by farmers who have been dealing with the land for many years.

She thought for a while: "Locusts fly in one direction, with strong movement. They cannot follow them and chase them. They must fight head-on. Even if the locusts in front die, they must fly in the back, and they will die together."

"As long as you hit the head, the effect will be followed well." Pei Shuo murmured.

"But doing this is definitely more dangerous than following. Locusts can attack people, and even kids are bitten. It's so terrible."

Pei Shuo: "Not afraid, you are in the capital, locusts will not run in."

A Yao held her cheek, "You said it would be great if the locusts were like moths. If they were making a bunch of fire, they would rush in...wow..."

Suddenly greedy.

Pei Shuo had no choice but to say: "What did you think of?"

"Delicious. Locust legs are covered with flour and fried, or skewed into a skewer, sprinkled with salt, and crispy."

The kid next door was so delicious that it was so greedy that he cried.

"You just want to eat."

"I'm the cook!"

"But can it be eaten?"

When A Yao saw Pei Shuo's suspicious eyes, she snorted. There were insects in many places, such as fried cicada pupa, sheep scorpion, bee pupa, or a darker barbecue - original skewered green worms.

Locusts are also insects. When reading the information, they said that the locust legs are slightly fleshy than other parts, and they taste good, but let alone eating them, she doesn’t even know what the locusts are.

Fire, fire...

Pei Shuo thought about the feasibility of burning bonfires in the fields at night, and the more he thought about it, the more he could try it.

"Also, chickens, ducks, geese eat insects, locusts are also insects. Maybe they can also raise chickens, ducks, geese, stew chicken oil, make fat chicken mouth mushrooms, hehehe~"

No matter what, A Yao thought of eating.

The leaves of the osmanthus tree are falling off and slid on the edge of the stone table, so it cannot be dropped.

"Yes, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, dew is stained with clothes, so don't worry about catching a cold." A Yao pinched the leaves and turned them, reminding.

dew?

Pei Shuo looked at A Yao playing with the leaves on his hands, his eyes trembled. The dew was heavy in the early morning, and the leaves were covered with dew, which was the same for insects.

He had seen a butterfly whose wings were wet with dew, and could not fly up. He could only fly low, and finally he grabbed it by pinching his wings. Will the locusts be the same?

During the day, ten people were in a row, and they captured the net. They also assigned a vanguard team, put on the beekeeper's mask, and attacked the head-on.

Set up a bonfire in the evening, wait for the sun to set, rest and set off again when the deeper and heavy dew.

When the number of locusts decreases, organize people to plow and then grazle chickens and ducks.

A series of plans were scheduled in his mind.
Chapter completed!
