171. I Didn’t Expect These Big Worms to Be So Delicious
When the Liu family saw that the Su family deliberately refused to share the poisonous insects with them, they secretly cursed in their hearts, hoping that they would die of poison after eating it.
However, after waiting for a long time, the Su family and the officials and Zuo family who also ate these poisonous insects were well fed and drank, but nothing happened.
The next day, at dawn, the people came over to check their breathing to see if they were dead.
As a result, when they woke up, they were still normal, doing whatever they were supposed to do and getting ready to go.
"Are you okay?" The refugees looked at these people in the exile team and couldn't help but be surprised and curious.
How could this happen? Didn't they eat those poisonous insects? Why didn't anything happen?
I saw that those who had eaten the poisonous insects were not only fine, but also full of energy because they were full.
Seeing that there were fragrant lobsters and crabs crawling on the edge of the pond, the officials and exiled prisoners who had eaten these two foods couldn't help but reminisce about the smell of these big insects they had eaten yesterday, and couldn't help but said: "Why don't we catch some and put them in the frame?"
Let’s wait until we have something to eat on the way.”
After hearing their words, the refugees suddenly became uneasy.
What's going on? Not only are these people okay after eating, but they also want to eat again?
Are those poisonous insects really okay to eat? And are they really that delicious?
Seeing that the people in the exile team wanted to continue catching big insects, the people all ran over and said to them: "You don't need to talk here, there are very few green onions here. You can go to Fanqiao County where we just escaped. There are
There are a lot of big bugs there, and it’s because there are so many big bugs that we want to escape and live somewhere else.”
Hearing this, Ying Bao was immediately elated.
There are so many lobsters and crabs that it’s really filling!
In her previous world, both of these foods were very expensive!
The people in Fanqiao County are really ignorant. One family can catch a dozen or twenty kilograms and eat one or two meals at home. How can these lobsters and crabs be rampant?
Or you can export some to surrounding counties and sell them at a good price.
Isn’t it because of the drought that we can’t grow food now? These are all rations!
Others heard that there were many more lobsters in Fanqiao County than here. They were almost overrun with lobsters and ran away. They were a little shocked. However, if there were so many, they didn't have to go to the pond to touch them. They could just go to the pond and touch them.
Pick it up on the roadside.
The group came to Fanqiao County, a few kilometers away from the pond.
The people who originally escaped saw that the exiled prisoners had eaten the poisonous insects and nothing happened, so they came back with their bags on their backs to see if they would die.
Along the way, Yingbao stayed in her mother's arms. On the pretext that Brother Yiyan had something to say to her mother, he told her all the plans he had in mind and asked him to talk like this later in the overseas Chinese village.
Yuan Lianyi was a little surprised. He didn't expect his brother to care about such a thing at that glance.
But this is indeed a good idea. People in the Overseas Chinese Town think that poisonous insects are poisonous and dare not eat them. If they can prove that these insects are not poisonous, they can make good use of these poisonous insects and solve their famine problem.
"But we are just exiling prisoners, do we need to take care of so many people? Will they listen to us?" Yuan Lianyi felt helpless.
Ying Bao blinked and said, "As long as they eat lobster in front of him again, they will definitely listen!"
"Lobster? What is this?" Yuan Lianyi looked confused.
Ying Bao smiled and said: "It's the poisonous scorpion we ate yesterday. That one is not called a poisonous scorpion, but the one actually has a name and is called a lobster. The water spider is not called a water spider, it is called a crab."
"Lobster, crab..." Yuan Lianyi repeated the names of these two poisonous insects, and finally laughed. These two names are much better than poisonous scorpions and water spiders!
The group arrived at Fanqiao County.
The county town is indeed infested with insects, and the streets and alleys are crawling with these crabs and lobsters.
However, the people here did not dare to do anything to these crabs and lobsters, for fear of triggering more tyrants to retaliate, so they just closed their doors.
The county government offices are also closed, for fear that poisonous insects will get into their houses.
It was very strange to see them walking on the road and picking up crabs and lobsters into baskets.
"Aren't you afraid of being bitten by these poisonous insects?"
"These are poisonous insects. What are you going to do when you pick them up?"
By the time they arrived at the county government office, they had picked up several baskets full of large insects.
The county magistrate couldn't help being surprised and surprised when he saw them actually daring to pick up these big insects.
Because I was afraid that they would bring Dad into his county office, I simply went out to meet these exiles. Anyway, they just took the documents and left.
"What are you doing picking up these bugs? These bugs are poisonous, and those two big pincers on them can crush people to death!"
The county magistrate stared at their exiled team in amazement. Many people were grabbing big lobsters and stuffing them, as if they were treasures.
Boss Zhang replied with a smile: "As long as we don't let these big pliers pinch us, these are good things and they taste delicious!"
When the county magistrate heard them saying that these big bugs were edible, he couldn't help but staggered with fear: "How dare you eat such big poisonous bugs? Don't you know that these poisonous bugs turn red after being cooked? The brighter the color of the food, the better.
The more toxic it is, the bright red it turns into when you see it, how dare you continue to eat it?"
Boss Zhang looked nonchalant: "Eat it, we ate it yesterday, and we are still living well today, nothing happened!"
"Really or not? You, you actually ate these big bugs?"
Not only the county magistrate, but also the local officials around him were so frightened that their eyes widened.
Many of the people watching were also refugees who had returned from exiled prisoners like them, and they immediately testified:
"They did catch these big insects in the Ganshui Pond a few kilometers ahead and ate them yesterday. Many of us saw it.
These people were still eating with gusto. We originally wanted to escape just to see if they would be poisoned, so we came back to watch!"
The county magistrate was immediately surprised. He did not expect that anyone would dare to eat these poisonous insects. He immediately called the doctor from the county seat to check their pulses and see if there was any poison in their bodies.
The result is that the body is healthy and safe, with no poison at all.
Yuan Lianyi remembered what Ying Bao told her, and immediately plucked up the courage to make suggestions to the county magistrate.
The county magistrate looked down on the exiled prisoners. He rolled his eyes at Yuan Lianyi and said, "I still need you to teach me how to do things? First prove to us whether these big insects are really not poisonous!"
In order to prove to the people that these big insects can be eaten, the county magistrate asked the exiled prisoners to stay, set up a stove in the market, and began to fry lobsters and boil crabs.
The Su family's grandma received instruction from Ying Bao yesterday and already knew how to fry lobsters, so she started frying them with ease.
Soon, a large pot of lobsters was fried and the crabs were cooked.
Those who had tasted the delicious taste of these two green onions couldn’t wait to continue eating them.
The Liu family who had not eaten and the people who had been observing last night saw that the exiled prisoners were still alive and well and had no symptoms of poisoning, so they followed the first batch and picked up the lobsters to eat.
stand up.
The county magistrate saw that they ate without any scruples. Although he was still a little scared, he saw that the people who originally ran away because of poisonous insects dared to be the first to eat these insects. He couldn't help it and took it.
Come and try a few.
I got addicted to it after just one taste, and couldn't stop eating it. I twirled my fingers while eating it.
"It's really delicious!" The county magistrate couldn't help but sigh.
The people who were watching saw that their parents and officials dared to eat it and ate it so deliciously, so they couldn't help but reach out and grab one or two and try it.
Everyone praised and nodded in praise of this attempt.
"I didn't expect these big insects to taste so delicious. I was really at a loss if I didn't dare to eat them before!"
"If we had known that these giant insects were not poisonous and so delicious, how could we have allowed them to wreak havoc in our city?"
The county magistrate remembered the advice Yuan Lianyi had just given to him and immediately announced it to the people.
When the people heard this, they were all excited.
"It seems that our county has the least shortage of food. Now during the famine years, the fields cannot grow food. If we can export these giant insects to other counties, we can still make a lot of money!"
When the county magistrate saw that he had arrived at Fanqiao County and had finally made a great contribution, he couldn't help but feel complacent and said to these people: "I have done my best for you, should you people express your gratitude?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as the common people heard the reminder from the county magistrate, they immediately ran to the Su family, bowed to them, and expressed gratitude.
"Thank you to the Su family for being the first to eat these big bugs, so that we can also take the lead in eating these bugs.
He also gave us such good advice, which not only solved the overflowing pests in our county, but also solved our famine problem.
Now that our Fanqiao County has become the best place with no shortage of food, we no longer have to leave our hometown and go to other places to find a new place to live..."
The people who opened their mouths to express their gratitude were the people who had escaped from Fanqiao County.
They thought they were going to leave their hometown and seek life outside, but unexpectedly they met these exiled prisoners, which changed their future destiny and decisions.
Other people also heard about the Su family's heroic act of eating insects from their own mouths. They also heard the advice that the woman from the Su family had given to the county magistrate. They immediately understood how to survive next.
, I would also like to express my gratitude to the Su family.
After thanking the Su family, the people looked at the county magistrate and continued to thank him.
The county magistrate couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
