He recklessly inserted the locust into the firewood and started roasting it again.
"I'm starving," he muttered to himself. "Whether it's poisonous or not, I still want to eat something. Let me try it. I'm dying."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming took a step forward and said to the old man. "Don't worry. It's not poisonous. The man will be fine even if he eats it."
Although the boss thought it was delicious, he said with disdain, "It's not poisonous now, but it doesn't mean it won't take effect later. Who knows?"
The subordinate thought that his boss was going to die and hurriedly asked, "Boss, are you going to die?" I'll bring you to see a doctor now."
With that, he immediately rushed over, wanting to bring his boss back.
"Come back!" Jiang Ming said calmly again when he saw the subordinate take the boss away.
The boss did not want to leave, but he had no choice but to go.
He had a bitter look on his face, making Jiang Ming and Zhu Asi want to laugh.
The boss could not help but feel excited.
Why did these locusts seem to be a little delicious? He wanted to eat more.
Jiang Ming used a wooden branch to skewer the locusts again. He made several skewers.
Zhu Asi followed suit and strung the locusts together. After he was done, he placed the locusts on top of the fire.
The smell of roasted locusts filled the entire place. The subordinates and the poor could not help but gulp.
Why did it smell so good?
The old man had already roasted the locusts and could not wait to put them into his mouth.
A fragrant smell filled the air. He could not help but smack his lips. "This thing is really delicious. I want to eat a few more."
"Old man, are you feeling any discomfort?" the poor people quickly asked the old man.
Jiang Ming and Zhu Asi also started to eat with relish. They said, "It's delicious. We don't feel uncomfortable at all. You guys should try it too."
The baby also started to roast the locusts without caring about anything else.
Seeing them eating so happily, the other poor people could not help but rush over and roast the locusts as well.
None of the subordinates dared to move, and they were hesitant.
They wanted to eat but were afraid.
The boss saw that the locusts were almost gone. He remembered that his subordinates were still hungry. He quickly said to his subordinates, "Why aren't you guys eating? No matter what, fill your stomachs first!"
He felt that there should be no problem with the locusts.
Otherwise, he would have been poisoned by now. However, he could not say that out loud. He was still holding back his anger.
Hearing their boss's words, his subordinates rushed forward and fought for the locusts.
"Wait!" The boss felt embarrassed and shouted, "Slow down!"
In a short while, they had finished eating all the locusts inside.
Jiang Ming looked at the baby and said, "You guys should have other fields, right? This field seems a little small."
The baby quickly nodded. "That's true. However, these fields are very far apart. I'm afraid it will take some time to catch all the locusts."
"Go!" The boss quickly called out to his subordinates. "Follow them to catch those locusts. No matter what, fill the stomachs of those poor people first."
Now that things had come to this, he felt that it was better to hide his personal feelings first.
It had been some time now, and he felt that there was indeed no more poison.
The subordinate quickly followed the boss's instructions and went to catch the locusts. Another subordinate directly told the poor people the news.
They quickly worked hard to catch the locusts.
Soon, all the locusts were caught.
Jiang Ming gathered the poor people and made them surround him. He made a big fire and taught the poor people to roast the locusts.
Not long after, the locusts were all eaten up. The poor people also clapped and cheered. Their eyes were filled with satisfaction.
"How does everyone feel?"
Jiang Ming could not help but laugh when he saw everyone's satisfied expressions.
No matter what, it was good to see them happy.
The group of poor people looked at each other and knelt down.
They shouted at Jiang Ming, "Thank you for helping us. If it weren't for you, we would have starved to death."
Jiang Ming quickly helped them up. "Get up quickly. Now that the locust problem has been solved, you can plant new crops. When the locusts come again, just catch them and continue roasting them."
The boss could not help but be convinced by Jiang Ming. He also said, "Your Majesty, I've offended you just now. Please don't be angry. I will serve you. I hope you can tolerate me."
The boss's subordinates also knelt down.
"We hope to serve you too."
"All of you come to the palace. The buildings in the palace still need to be rebuilt. You have spiritual energy, so the speed of construction can be faster."
Jiang Ming thought for a moment and made this order. At the same time, he removed the boss's restrictions.
"We finally have a true king now," the boss cried bitterly.
Then, they brought their subordinates to rebuild the palace.
At this time, a poor man was a little hesitant. He wanted to say something to Jiang Ming, but he did not know what to say.
Jiang Ming could tell what the poor man was thinking. He waved his hand. "Come here. What do you want to say to us?"
"Well…" The poor man gulped and said, "Our seeds are gone. We don't have any seeds to sow now. The original grain has been eaten by the locusts, and it's impossible for it to grow again. It's really a problem now."
"I'll go take a look. There should be seeds in the treasury."
Jiang Ming did not think it was a problem at all.
A servant appeared beside Jiang Ming and said with a bitter smile, "Your Majesty, there are no more seeds now. The seeds in the national treasury have been eaten by the maggots. If we want seeds, we have to buy them from other kingdoms."
Jiang Ming remembered Liang Sisi and quickly asked someone to pick her up.
As soon as Liang Sisi returned, Jiang Ming told her about the issue.
"I'll go back and tell my father now." She nodded immediately. contemporary romance
King Liang was still reading his memorial in satisfaction. When he heard that his daughter had returned, he went to welcome her excitedly.
As soon as he received her, he heard what his daughter said and immediately pulled a long face.
After such a long time away, his daughter had actually sided with a foreign kingdom. Such seeds could not be easily given away.
Moreover, he was giving them to Ning Caichen. Did his daughter not know about the grudges between him and Ning Caichen?
King Liang smiled awkwardly. "Sisi, it's not that I don't want to give Ning Caichen the seeds. It's just that you know the situation in the Daliang Kingdom. If I were to give the seeds away…"
