"The nearby Tujia Road has purchased locusts!"

This sentence spreads everywhere like a plague. None of the people believed it. Locusts are everywhere. The Eighth Route Army actually paid for it. Isn’t this stupid?

But they had no choice but to believe the facts, because the Eighth Route Army's working group actually came down to promote it, and asked the people to go to the fields to catch locusts, scald to death in boiling water, and then dry it and sell it to the Eighth Route Army.

Most people still don’t believe it, but the poor people who are almost unable to eat can only fight to the death. Now this is their only life-saving straw. No matter whether the locusts can be sold for money, they cannot refuse their next situation.

So immediately some ordinary people took bamboo baskets and rice fields to catch locusts, while other wealthy landlords scoffed at this.

I think this is purely the Eighth Route Army showing off, to see how much money they can have to buy locusts, the Eighth Route Army is just a group of paupers, and even if they can't even support themselves, they have to spend money to win people's hearts. Isn't this stupid!

The Eighth Route Army before had an accident because they wanted to defeat the local tyrants and divide the land. Unexpectedly, a fool came now and paid for the purchase of locusts. Could it be that the Eighth Route Army was just foolish?

The trends of all parties are different, and even the Japanese are a little strange, but they are different from the common people. They still know that locusts have some functions, but they will not do it if they use money to buy locusts like this.

As for eating locusts to cure night blindness, the Japanese won’t do such things. Their nutritional properties are quite sufficient. Even if they are not enough, they are lazy to eat disgusting things like locusts.

The people really believe it now, because an Eighth Route Army Group in military uniform weighed several sacks of dried locusts in front of them, and then slapped the money in the hands of the people.

After counting it carefully several times, the common people stood there and didn't know what to say after finding out that it was really money.

If you have money, you can buy food. The family will not be broken every day. In other words, the whole family can survive.

"My benefactor!"

The man couldn't help but kneel down, his eyes full of tears. Gu Tongfang, who bought locusts, immediately came over and helped him up, and then said:

"This is a one-time deal. You sell us locusts and we give you money. This is a very normal thing. I can't say thank you.

However, you can continue to catch locusts in the field. Our captain said, no matter how many you want, you can accept everything, as long as you do what we said!"

It is not uncommon for locusts to be used as medicinal materials, but it is absolutely unimaginable that locusts can be used as food.

The locust plague is comparable to a plague. Many ordinary people struggle on the food and clothing line every day. Once the food is affected, their entire family will suffer a catastrophe, and there may be a few people starving to death.

But now someone pays for locusts, which is unheard of.

Everyone thought the Eighth Route Army was just performing a show, but they didn't expect that they would really dare to pay for the acquisition, and the acquisition was not a sign of stopping, so the superiors also noticed the operation and sent someone to ask Li Feng.

Comrade Li Xiaopang is catching locusts every day now, and he is having fun holding a net pole. Several bamboo baskets are stuffed with them, and he has all the food these days.

Nature is indeed fair, which makes them lose some of their food, but gives them something more nutritious.

Throwing away the net pole in his hand and looking at the pile of locusts in front of him, Li Xiaopang drooled again, and the naive bear on the side also walked over and asked.

"Captain, when will we have dinner?"

This stupid guy knows how to eat it. It is not good to eat too much locusts. If they eat it like this every meal, their stomachs will definitely not be able to bear it. Another day, try the bread made by mixing locust powder and flour!

Everyone went back with a lot of locusts. At this time, there was a man sitting in the main hall of Daying Mountain. Because this place was a bandit village in the past, Li Feng specially changed the place where they gathered into a command center. I heard that this place had a resounding name called Juyi Hall before.

Juyitang is the place where the spoils are divided, and now it is used as a command center. I really don’t know what Li Xiaopang’s intention is.

Uncle Song, who was standing beside him, sat aside without saying a word, and glanced at the commissioner slightly, with a strange look in his eyes.

At this time, there was a woman sitting on the main seat. If Li Feng was there, he would definitely recognize that the woman was either someone else, or his sister Xiao Wen, and there was a light-hearted girl sitting next to her!

"Uncle Song, tell me that this is not true. Did that little fat man really spend money to buy locusts?"

Uncle Song smiled bitterly. He didn't think this was true, but the fact was there. The captain did ask someone to buy locusts. Now he has sent back a lot of dried locusts and borrowed some mills to grind these locusts into powder. I heard that the captain also wanted to use them to make dough cakes.

"Captain Xiao, this is indeed true, but I believe the captain must have his reason for doing this. Moreover, I have tasted those locusts, and they tasted really good. I heard from the captain that these locusts are very nutritious. Not only do we have to eat them, but we will also develop the soldiers in the army to eat them in the future."

Xiao Wen's abdomen felt disgusted. She forced herself to not vomit it out. Xiao Jing's cheeks were motivated. She had never thought about eating locusts. Could that fat man be a savage?

After forcing the rolling in the stomach, Xiao Wen asked Uncle Song again:

"You... believe him too?"

"Of course, the captain never lied to me. Last time I got so much money, the division commander sent me a reward order. Even if the locusts we bought this time were useless, at least it helped the people and laid a solid foundation for our next work."

Because he was the person in charge of this work, Uncle Song knew the difficulty of establishing a good relationship with the people. The people nearby had no good feelings for the Eighth Route Army before. Of course, this came from their disgust for the army in their hearts.

If you don’t take action at this time, it will be even more difficult to gain trust from the people in the future.

Now they spend money to get closer to the people, which can save a lot of trouble in the future. However, he still believes the captain's statement. After all, he has tasted locusts in his own mouth, and the taste is really good. I heard that I will eat them at noon today, but when I think of this, his mouth can't help but drool.

"The captain will be back soon. You can ask him yourself after a while. You siblings haven't seen each other for several months. I guess there must be a lot to say this time."

I don't want to see that fat man!
