Chapter 591: Start killing insects
Li Hanwen is going to use the phototaxis of insects, use light to attract locusts, and then set fire!
After the torches were ready, Li Hanwen ordered people to hold the torches and stand a few people at intervals, extending from the area with the most locusts to an open sandy area. Daoyu Pavilion
In the sandy area, people were ordered to pile up high firewood, and after the bonfire was lit, the torches along the way were also lit one after another.
Attracted by the light emitted by the torches, the locusts swarmed and lured along the torches all the way to the bonfire, like moths to a fire, and in an instant, there was a burst of "crackling" sounds.
The locusts rampaged through the firelight like headless flies, and as long as they were touched by the tongue of fire, the locusts could not fly, but could only fall into the fire, and there was another 'crackling' sound.
The scene of burning locusts was spectacular.
"Good! Well burned! ”
"Burn them all!"
"Burn these pests!"
"Burn them ......"
Watching those hateful locusts struggle in the sea of fire and then turn to ashes in the fire, everyone felt very relieved and couldn't help but applaud loudly.
There was a smell of burnt meat wafting from afar, and Li Hanwen touched his nose and felt a little regretful.
When she was in elementary school, she traveled with her grandfather to Province P, and it happened that there was a locust plague in Province P.
Although the locust plague has caused great damage to the local crops, the farmers are not sad at all, but are so happy that they can't keep their mouths shut!
Because the local farmers sold the locusts they caught for 34 yuan a catty, they earned thousands of yuan a day, which was more than the income from farming.
After that locust plague, many people are even looking forward to the next year!
The nutritional value of locusts is very high, and it has the effects of relieving cough and asthma, nourishing and strengthening.
The fried locusts are fragrant and crispy, making people can't stop eating, and it is a delicacy that can make people cry!
Residents of the surrounding area, after hearing about this, also flocked to catch locusts.
As a result, on the first day, the locusts obscured the sky.
On the second day, people spread their nets and pockets to catch locusts.
On the third day, the locusts were still scurrying around.
On the fourth day, there were almost no locusts in sight.
On the fifth day, there were more people than worms in the disaster area!
The power of foodie is simply appalling!
A huge locust plague ended so comically that people couldn't laugh or cry.
My grandfather also sighed at the time: The times are different, and the locust plague that made people smell and change color back then is now being played with by people ...... 'between lips and tongues'.
Li Hanwen sighed helplessly, if the wood was there, she would get him a locust feast, it's a pity!
Seeing that there were more and more locusts around, Li Hanwen asked the people to use cloth sheets to take the opportunity to hunt and kill locusts, so baskets of locusts were buried in the soil.
She then instructed the people to continue adding firewood.
The locusts swooped down one after another, and everyone was so busy that their feet did not touch the ground, and their faces were covered with beads of sweat in the light of the fire, but no one shouted that they were tired, and no one stopped to rest.
These pests are dead, and there is still hope for their food, which is good!
The fire continued to burn until dawn, when the flames gradually went out, and the people were very emotional when they looked at the pit.
It's fire again, it's hunting, it's burying again, and after watching it all night, Master Kong's hands have been trembling.
Li Hanwen looked at Master Kong with a smile on his face, arched his hand, and said, "Master Kong, will you get here first today?" ”
