The afternoon sun always made people sleepy.
Early in the morning, Zhang Feng was thinking about the future. As he thought about it, he fell asleep. In the afternoon, all the muscles and bones in his body were creaking uncomfortably.
Gouzi, Zhuzi, Old He, Zhuzi's father, and even the old Xiucai had gone somewhere to enjoy the cool air.
Zhang Feng had to put his hands behind his back and walk slowly in Chang 'an City.
Locusts had become a rare item and could even be seen everywhere on the streets of Chang 'an. There were still people walking around with a group of chickens and ducks as if they were patrolling. Once the chickens and ducks stopped and pecked at the ground, they would immediately pounce on them to see if they were locusts.
Then, they would walk slowly on the streets again.
However, these people chose the most difficult path to walk.
They just wanted to catch more locusts.
From Hui Tong Fang to the East Market, it was basically like this all the way. The East Market had also changed from its former dejected and depressed state. Sounds of hawking could be heard everywhere, as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They were very excited.
The pork stall had already put up a sign saying that it was sold out. From time to time, the loud cries of pigs and the angry shouts of pigs being slaughtered could be heard from the backyard.
There were more barbarian merchants on the streets and even barbarian prostitutes performing on the street. At this time, all the people in Chang 'an were rich and happy. The tips were more than twice as much as usual. This made the merchants squatting behind the barbarian prostitutes laugh so hard that their eyes could not be seen. Their saliva was all over the copper coins.
Zhang Feng no longer had the desire to touch copper coins after seeing this.
Damn it, this is how the rust on the copper coins came about!
It would be weird if it didn't get rusty.
Zhang Feng did not stop walking when he passed by the East Market. He greeted the people he knew along the way and then slowly walked out of the Chunming Gate.
He still had not left the city for some days.
He did not see any barbarian merchants selling rubber in the East Market anymore. He guessed that rubber was extremely rare and the price was not high. It was far less expensive than the current popular products.
Naturally, there was no one for sale.
Zhang Feng could not help but sigh again.
It seemed that the plans for the tricycle and the bicycle would have to be delayed again.
Outside the Chunming Gate, the outside of Chang 'an was even more bustling than the inside of the city. The commoners were all sticking their butts out, ignoring the scorching sun in the sky. They were all holding small rakes and digging in the ground.
There was also a small jar tied to their backs. It was obvious what this group of people was doing.
Now that the crops were suffering from poor harvests, it was better to catch as many locusts as possible.
Every bit of profit counted. Otherwise, they might not even have the means to earn money when the time came.
"Feng Zi? What are you doing here? "
At this moment.
Someone asked as he looked at Zhang Feng, who was looking at the wilderness at the city gate.
Zhang Feng looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Old Fang had come out from a clump of withered grass.
Instantly, Zhang Feng was overjoyed.
"Yo! Old Sun, are you also running a side business? "
"Why are you squatting here?"
Fang Xuanling wiped the sweat and weeds on his forehead and sighed. "How can I be in the mood to run a side business? Look, those damn grasshoppers have destroyed all the crops. So, I'm here to see what the crops are like. "
While speaking, Fang Xuanling sat down beside Zhang Feng. Zhang Feng also sat down.
"I say, Old Fang, what exactly did you plant? Do you have a lot of land? Aren't you planting medicinal herbs? Do you even eat grasshoppers? "
Fang Xuanling glanced at Zhang Feng. "Can't those who plant medicinal herbs and do business have dozens of acres of land? Nowadays, if you don't have your own land, what do you eat? What do you drink? "
"Do you think everyone is like you, who can eat their fill and not starve?"
Fang Xuanling glanced at Zhang Feng and sighed deeply.
"Lao Li doesn't know about this yet, so I'm here to see if it was my people who destroyed the crops, or if it was all the same. Damn it, it's all gone!"
While speaking, Fang Xuanling's face was full of bitterness.
Although this meant that the Great Tang had enough food for the time being, this fellow at his side had once said that there would be an even larger plague of locusts next year!
What should he do at that time?
"Fengzi, what do you think we should do? We have at least a hundred mu of fertile land for growing grain! If they find out about this, I don't know what will happen. I … "
"Just because of this? Why are you so anxious? "
Hearing this, Fang Xuanling pointed outside the city angrily and shouted at Zhang Feng, his beard trembling. "This is what you mean by 'trivial'? Look, the grain is gone. What do you think we should do? Sew up our mouths? Or eat the wind and drink farts? "
"Don't, don't, don't be so agitated. Let's go. I have a big deal to make a fortune!"
Zhang Feng saw Fang Xuanling get anxious for the first time. He couldn't help but shrink his neck and pull Fang Xuanling away.
However, Fang Xuanling was so worried that he wanted to bang his head against the wall. How could he have the time to mess around with Zhang Feng?
"I'm not going!"
"If I tell you that I can turn all of these useless wheat into treasures like locusts, will you go?"
