Chapter 22 The new food crisis

With a thought in her mind, Longyue entered the consciousness space. She wanted to see how much food was left in the space.

Wuyue took inventory of the main grains. There were five stones of rice, thirty liters of rice noodles, twenty bags of cornmeal, and two large jars of pickles in the space.

This food is enough for everyone to go to Inner Mongolia, and it is more than enough.

There was food in hand, so there was no need to panic when fleeing the famine. Haoyue walked leisurely to the side of her wheelbarrow, wanting to pretend to take some more food from the car and distribute it to everyone.

As a result, she thought about it, but the food was not taken out from the space, and there was still only a little food on the wheelbarrow.

Huh? What's going on? Hazy Moon opened her eyes wide, her little head filled with doubts.

[Ding! Host, your current withdrawal quota has been used up. If you want to continue to withdraw items, please upgrade the space level and increase the withdrawal quota!]

What? Hazy Moon was dumbfounded!

This broken space system actually still has a withdrawal limit!!!

No, whose space system works like this? And it also comes with restrictions on extraction??

Haoyue checked with the system many times before confirming that his space system indeed had a withdrawal limit.

Generally speaking, the withdrawal limit is enough, but during the Temple of Heaven incident at the Duke's Mansion last time, Ouzue took out forty kilograms of rice at once, so the red line for withdrawing the quota was quickly reached.

Haoyue was furious and asked the system: "No, why did you tell me such an important thing now?"

System: "Host, you didn't ask..."

Haoyue was silent for a long time: "Should I know that there is such a restriction..."

Alas, forget it, there is nothing to blame at this point.

Ogyue's little face turned into a tangled bun. She felt like she was just like a teapot cooking dumplings, and there was so much in her stomach that she couldn't pour it out!

What to do now? The food rations of many people in the Xu family have been eaten by locusts. Although there is still a lot of food in the space, it cannot be taken out.

And even if you take it out, what if those locusts fly back again?

How much food is there, it's not enough for the locust swarms to make...

Just as Hazyue was thinking about it, someone had already picked up a whole sack of locust corpses.

Many people think that if locusts eat my food, then I will use locusts as food rations.

Although this locust is small, it still has two ounces of flesh on its body, right?

How can we not eat locusts when famine still eats people?

On the road to escape, if we were really hungry, people would eat each other, not to mention insects?

Hazy Moon possessed herself and looked at the corpses of locusts on the ground. These locusts all had sharp tips and sharp wings, and their bodies were ashen. Their scientific name was green-headed wolf. She had seen it in an encyclopedia of biology.

The green-headed wolf is a kind of locust with poisonous body. If it is eaten, it is very likely to be poisoned. Even if it is lucky enough to survive, the iron worms in the belly of this locust are enough for a person to drink a pot.

Thinking of the iron worms in the locust's belly, Hazy Moon couldn't help but shudder.

"Uncle! These locusts are poisonous and cannot be eaten!" Haoyue quickly reminded her, waving her little hand.

"What? You can't eat it?" When an uncle heard this, he quickly stopped picking up the locusts and opened his eyes wide: "You are a little kid, don't talk nonsense. I have eaten them before. These locusts are crispy when fried in oil.

It’s old and fragrant.”

"Yes, I remember that when there was a famine in ancient times, people would grind locusts into powder with stone mills, and then mix them with water to make locust porridge. Why can't these insects be eaten?"

"Old village chief, do you still remember? When we were young, the older generation told the story of locust plagues and eating locusts."

When the old village chief heard this, he stroked his gray beard, then thought for a moment and said, "Well, it's true."

The ancient book "The Book of Saving the Famine and Reviving the People" records: In ancient times, locusts were all over the five provinces, and all crops and vegetation were exhausted. They blocked the sun wherever they came, making it impossible for people and horses to move, and filled pits and trenches. Hungry people pounced on the locusts to feed on them, or they accumulated when they were exposed to dryness. Of……

At this time, the old village chief began to quote scriptures, telling an example of how hungry people caught locusts and ate them during locust plagues in ancient times.

It has to be said that the old village chief has a wide range of knowledge and can quote scriptures on everything.

The old village chief quoted classics to testify about the ancient people eating locusts, which made Hazy Moon's eyes darken.

No, Seventh Uncle, please stop messing around. We really haven’t reached the point of eating locusts yet, and the parasites on locusts are really no joke.

Others didn't understand the dangers of parasites, but Shen Yinxing knew it very well. After all, she had only dealt with bugs in her previous life.

Shen Yinxing nodded: "Yue'er is right, don't eat the locusts during the locust plague. The green-headed locusts contain toxins and parasites. If you eat them, you will be poisoned in mild cases and die in severe cases."

"Nonsense! The ancients could eat locusts, so why can't we eat them? Now that we have no food rations, what will we eat if we don't eat locusts?" Some people in the Xu family objected to Shen Yinxing's statement.

In the eyes of the Xu family, although Shen Yinxing is good at martial arts and is a good fighter, she usually does not know how to cook, let alone mend clothes. She does not understand many basic common sense of life, so in this area , what Shen Yinxing said was not convincing in the eyes of the Xu family.

However, the group of teenagers who usually regarded Shen Yinxing as their master firmly supported her views and challenged their own family members: "Master is such a kind person, of course what he said is right. Don't say that my master is talking nonsense! Otherwise next time The horse bandits are coming, go out and fight them yourself!"

"Hey! If you learn the skills of a three-legged cat, you will end up in trouble?" Several adults grabbed the child's ears and began to lecture him at the top of his voice.

"Hey! What trouble are you making! Let's discuss things and don't hit the children!" The old village chief waved his hands quickly and saved the children's ears from the adults.

There was an endless debate on the field about whether locusts could be eaten. Hazy Moon held her fleshy chin with her two small hands and blinked her big round eyes.

The problem now is not how to stop people from eating locusts, but how to get the food out of the space.

Haoyue believes that if food and locusts are placed in front of everyone at the same time, no one will choose to eat locusts.

But the key thing now is that she has plenty of food in her space, but she can't take it out.

If you want to take out food again, you can only upgrade the space and increase the withdrawal amount.

If you want to upgrade the space, you can only continue walking. Fortunately, the way to upgrade her space system is relatively easy and simple, just walk.

System, help me check how many steps are needed to complete the space upgrade? Haoyue asked in her heart.

[Ding! Host, you only need to take another 480,000 steps to upgrade the system]

???

Hazy Moon's face had dark lines.

480,000 steps? According to the normal algorithm, one kilometer requires about 1,600 steps, so 480,000 steps is 300 kilometers?

300 kilometers, so it would take more than a week according to the current walking distance. By the time we reach the destination, wouldn’t everyone be starving to death!
