Chapter 671 It's really delicious(1/2)

They gritted their teeth, their eyes filled with anger and determination, and rushed straight towards Xi Yu.

A young man rushed to Xi Yu first, raised the weapon in his hand, and shouted angrily: "Today we must make you responsible for the safety of the village!"

Xi Yu flashed and easily avoided the young man's attack.

At this moment, several black shadows flashed out like ghosts, and it turned out that Xi Yu's secret guard appeared.

They were quick and instantly fought with several young people.

Xi Yu frowned slightly and shouted loudly: "Don't hurt them, just control them!"

Upon hearing this, the secret guards quickly changed their strategies and firmly controlled several young people in just a few moves.

Several young people looked frightened at this moment, their eyes filled with panic and disbelief.

Old Man Nie slowly walked out at this time, shook his head, and said to the young people helplessly: "I said I had asked you to leave, but you just didn't listen!"

One of the young men gasped and said with regret: "We don't know Mount Tai, but I didn't expect him to be so powerful!"

Another young man begged in a crying voice: "Good man, we will never dare to do it again!"

Xi Yu held Tuoba Yu's hand tightly and left in a hurry.

The next day, the yamen runners sent by the county magistrate walked into several villages with a fierce look.

The head yamen runner shouted at the top of his voice: "Everyone will listen to me, you must cooperate with the Prime Minister, otherwise you will be killed without any worries!" His hideous face made people shudder.

Chen Fugui and Liu Fengzi were walking towards the fields with a few people holding tools in their hands.

Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu stood by the field, watching vigilantly.

Chen Fugui said to Liu Fengzi as he walked: "You must not make a mistake this time, otherwise we will not have any good results."

Liu Crazy Nodded and frowned and replied: "I understand, be careful!"

Xi Yu looked solemn and whispered to Tuoba Yu: "You must be optimistic and there must be no omissions."

Tuoba Yu looked focused and said "um" softly.

The clan leader woke up slowly. When he learned that Xi Yu had arranged for the county government to enter forcibly, his face turned pale and he closed his eyes in pain.

He sighed heavily, his lips tremblingly and said, "Forget it, forgot, now I can't care about this anymore."

His eyes were full of helplessness and sorrow, and his originally straight back seemed to bend at this moment, and he looked extremely haggard and vicissitudes.

Many villagers gathered in their homes, women covered their faces and cried, while men were depressed.

An old woman choked up while wiping her tears, "This movie is simply a rebellious act, and the gods will definitely punish him!"

A middle-aged man next to him clenched his fists and shouted angrily: "He will not have a good end if he acts like this!"

Another villager muttered to himself with a look of despair, "God, open your eyes and punish this evil man!" Their faces were filled with grief and helplessness.

Chen Fugui and Liu Fengzi took everyone to work hard in the fields for a whole day.

Chen Fugui's face was exhausted, and sweat kept flowing down his cheeks. He straightened his waist, wiped his sweat, looked at the bags of locusts, and grinned, "Hey, we have gained a lot today!"

Liu Crazy was also gasping for breath, but with a hint of relief on his face, and responded: "Yes, if this continues, this field can be saved a lot."

A young man next to him said excitedly: "Thanks to our concerted efforts, this locust has been restrained by us!"

Liu Crazyman patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be too happy too early, you have to continue working hard!"

Everyone nodded, their eyes full of determination.

Chen Fugui looked at the quieter fields and sighed: "I hope this will always be so that our crops can have a good harvest."

Everyone continued to devote themselves to the work of hunting locusts. Although they were tired, everyone's face showed an unyielding spirit.

At night, the moonlight was as bright as water, and Xi Yu walked into Chen Fugui's store.

Chen Fugui was cleaning the counter. When he saw Xi Yu coming in, he quickly stopped his work, his face full of flattering smiles: "Sir, why are you here?"

Xi Yu looked serious and said straight to the point: "Chen Fugui, I asked you to make the locusts caught today mature and go to the village to sell them tomorrow to attract the people, but the price must be cheap."

Chen Fugui was slightly stunned, then frowned and said, "Sir, can this locust be sold?"

Xi Yu glared at him and said firmly: "If you want to do it, you will do it. This is an order! As long as the price is cheap, the people will try it."

Chen Fugui nodded quickly and responded timidly: "Yes, yes, yes, little one understands, I will do as I do."

Xi Yu looked at his cautious look and slowed down his tone and said, "You will be beneficial if you do this well."

When Chen Fugui heard this, a flattering smile immediately appeared on his face: "Thank you, sir, the younger one must do his best."

The next day, the sun was shining.

Chen Fugui and Liu Fengzi came to the village with a few hired people.

The load is filled with steaming and fragrant cooked locusts.

Soon, their stalls attracted many people to come.

A curious aunt pointed at the burden and asked, "What is this?"

Chen Fugui smiled and told the truth directly: "This is a locust, sister."

When the aunt heard this, her face suddenly changed. She looked like she had seen a ghost. She retreated repeatedly and shouted in horror: "Oh, locusts! How can this be eaten!"

A brave young man next to him smelled the fragrance, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'll try it." As he said that, he picked up a locust and put it in his mouth and chewed it.

Everyone looked at him nervously, but his eyes lit up and he said loudly: "The taste is really good!"

When the others heard this, they were skeptical. A child pulled the corner of his mother's clothes and said, "Mom, I want to eat too."

His mother looked worried and said, "Can you eat this? Don't get any problems with it. Besides, locusts are divine insects."

At this time, several bold people tried it one after another, all of whom showed satisfaction and praised it: "It's really good, why didn't you think of it before?"

Chen Fugui looked at the crowd surrounding him and shouted at the top of his voice: "Dear fellow villagers, this delicious locust is cheap, a lot of money per penny!"

Hearing this price, the crowd suddenly felt a commotion. An old man in coarse cloth clothes shone with his eyes and said, "It's so cheap? Then give me some!"

A woman next to her also said, "Give me some more and try it out!"

More and more people are starting to buy, and their previous fears and worries seem to be thrown out of the sky.

A young man smiled while paying for money, "No matter whether it is a divine insect or not, it's delicious and cheap!"

Another old man also said happily: "Yes, it's so affordable to fill your stomach, so how can you care about so much!"

Chen Fugui and Liu Crazy were very busy, with joyful smiles on their faces, constantly calling everyone a locust.

Soon, the locusts brought by Chen Fugui were sold out.

Chen Fugui wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face full of excitement, and said loudly: "Dear fellow villagers, all the locusts brought today have been sold out! If you are willing to buy them, you can go to my store to buy them!"

Someone in the crowd responded: "Okay, Boss Chen, when I go back, I will talk to my neighbors!"

An old lady smiled and said, "This locust is so popular, I have to ask more people to buy it."

Chen Fugui nodded repeatedly and bowed and said, "Thank you all!"

Everyone dispersed while talking, preparing to go back to promote this novel and affordable delicacy.

Gradually, news that locusts became a delicacy spread.

Chen Fugui's shop is crowded and very lively.

"Boss, give me two locusts!" said a young and strong man anxiously.

Chen Fugui responded and packed it up quickly: "Okay, you can get it!"

However, not far outside the store, several elderly people gathered together and shook their heads and sighed.

"What kind of style is this? Eating locusts is simply a manifestation of depravity!" A gray-haired old man frowned and his face was full of disagreement.

Another old man with a cane echoed: "That's right, if this continues, you will be punished by God!"

They looked at the lively scenes in the store, their eyes full of worry and helplessness.

Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu were quietly staying in the room. Tuoba Yu looked at Xi Yu with anticipation and asked, "Xi Yu, can you leave?"

Xi Yu frowned slightly, pondered for a moment and said, "Wait for a few more days."

Old Man Nie was walking alone in the yard, and Xi Yu walked out at this time. Old Man Nie saw him and hurried forward and said, "This time, you offended the common people."

Xi Yu looked firm and had no sign of retreating in his eyes. He said frankly: "It doesn't matter. Although the people may scold me in the past two days, they will soon be able to cultivate the land."

Old Man Nie shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Oh, I hope it's as you said."

Things are indeed as Xi Yu said.

On this day, the sun shone on the fertile land, and many people came to the fields with farm tools and happily on their faces.

A middle-aged man looked at the vast field and grinned and said to his companion beside him: "Hey, I really didn't expect that there would be another day to replant!"

The companion wiped the sweat from his forehead, his eyes full of hope, and replied: "Yes, I have to do it well, and strive to have a good harvest this year!"

A young wife bent down and carefully sorted out the land, muttering: "Now, we have hope for our lives!"

In the distance, an old man looked at the busy people, smiled with relief, and said to himself: "God bless you, you can finally farm."

Everyone worked hard and had a happy conversation, and the fields were filled with vitality and hope.
