In the next few days …
Zhang Feng's life was relatively peaceful.
Even the old scholar who had been forcing him to get married frowned deeply when he saw Zhang Feng. He shook his head and left.
Even Old He and the others were the same. Not only that, the dog and Zhu Zi seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
This made Zhang Feng feel a little uneasy.
Lao Li and the others, Chen Tieniu, and the others, were also nowhere to be found. It seemed that everyone was very busy at this time.
As for Zhang Feng, he was too lazy to be idle.
The locusts that filled the sky seemed to be about to cover the sky and the sun. The weather was getting hotter and hotter.
Looking at the locusts that filled the sky and the trees in Chang 'an City that were slowly becoming bald, Zhang Feng took the basket and went out.
He had a premonition that this would happen, but he did not expect that there would be more locusts than he imagined.
In the future, there were all kinds of pesticides and pesticides that were sprayed on crops. There were locusts for hundreds of years, but there were only a few of them. It was not like this. If the total weight of the people on the street was weighed, it might not be heavier than the total number of locusts in Chang 'an City.
This was the horror of ancient times.
The market in Chang 'an City was on the east side of the Yong' an Canal at Huitong Fang. It was usually open early in the morning, and there was already a sea of people there. After the establishment of the cooperative, the standard of living of the people really improved by more than a little. The market could not help but have more people.
Everyone was carrying a basket with their hands behind their backs and strolling around blindly, like a landlord patrolling his own property. Those who did not know would think that these people were the owners of these stalls, but those who knew would know that it was because they had money in their pockets!
Burning money.
If it was only one or two people, it would be fine. But basically, the people in Chang 'an City were all like this. It was as if Chang' an City was run by someone else.
This scene made all the barbarian merchants go crazy.
Why?
The people of Chang 'an were really too rich!
Every time an empty basket was sent out, the basket would be filled to the brim by the time it came back. They would even talk to people they knew or didn't know from time to time. They would even raise the basket in their hands and wave it in front of your eyes.
But today was different.
She didn't know if it was because Zhang Feng hadn't gone out for the past few days.
In today's market, not only were there fewer people strolling around with their hands clasped behind their backs, even the people selling vegetables had disappeared.
Zhang Feng had no idea what was going on.
However, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
After strolling around the market, he didn't even see a single green vegetable!
What the hell was this?
Could it be that Lao Tzu was out of season?
Something's not right!
Zhang Feng raised his head in confusion and looked at the scorching sun. It was June, right?
What's the problem here?
Zhang Feng scratched his head and sat at the fermented glutinous rice paste stall. He woke up the shopkeeper who was dozing off.
"Manager, a bowl of fermented glutinous rice with eggs!"
The shopkeeper perked up when he heard that.
"Alright! Sir, please wait a moment! "
"Manager, what's wrong with the market? Why is there no more vegetables?"
Zhang Feng asked the question that had been on his mind.
The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed.
"Sigh! Young man, I can tell that you don't go out often. Look at the sky. "
"Locusts?"
"That's right! Punishment from the heavens, disaster from the heavens. Go outside Chang 'an City and take a look. The mountains are all bare. Where are the vegetables? Now, people outside the city don't even dare to go out. Poor thing. This time, all the farmers are in trouble … Sigh! "
The shopkeeper didn't mean it, but Zhang Feng was shocked.
"Shopkeeper, weren't there countless people digging for locusts' eggs early this morning? Why are there so many of them? "
Zhang Feng had brought up the matter in April or May. At that time, he saw that the people around Chang 'an had basically turned the surrounding land upside down. How could there be any locusts' eggs?
In the end, the locusts' eggs became a hot commodity. They had to be imported from Longyou Road, but that was not enough to satisfy the needs of the rich.
There was no other reason other than Zhang Feng's statement that this thing could strengthen the sex drive and nourish the kidneys. In an instant, this thing that even chickens despised instantly became a delicacy for the upper echelons of society!
The shopkeeper brought over a bowl of steaming hot Glutinous Rice with Eggs and sighed. He didn't regard himself as an outsider and sat down beside Zhang Feng, saying, "That thing has legs! We don't have them here, but he has them elsewhere! Those things live in groups. When they fly, they'll form a huge black cloud. How do you think we can get them here? "
"Sigh! It's already the end of the day and I've only sold three bowls of fermented glutinous rice paste! This business is hard to do! "
Zhang Feng's face turned serious when he heard that.
Just as the shopkeeper said, the locusts around Chang 'an City had been stopped, but …
Damn it, Tubo and Tuyuhun couldn't control them!
Now that the locusts had exploded, what would happen to Tubo and Tuyuhun?
If they didn't treat them now, when the locusts swept through the Tang Dynasty, they would have to go back to primitive times to eat grass and tree bark!
But …
This seemed to be a good business opportunity!
