China has always been a society dominated by agriculture in ancient times. Drought, waterlogging, locust plague and other disasters that affect agricultural production have become the three major natural disasters in ancient society. Although the locusts are small, they can cover the sun in droves and eat up the crops instantly! There are endless records about locust plagues in ancient history books, but why are locust plagues rarely seen now? Let's look at the experience of locust plague in Shandong, and we will understand that "eating goods" has saved the world!

The ancients in China were very afraid of the plague of locusts. Generally speaking, locust plague is often accompanied by drought. Originally, because there was no rain and no food, the output was reduced, and farmers could not live at all. In fact, locust plagues have occurred not only in China, but also in the United States, Russian and other countries. However, with the development of society, there are fewer and fewer locust plagues in China, not only because of the popularity of pesticides and the intense human activities, but also because there are too many foodies in our country!

20 17 There was a locust plague in Shandong. Locusts that cover the sun fly across the sky to find their own goals, and corn and other crops have basically no leaves after being patronized by locusts! Seeing this scene, we can understand why the ancients were so afraid of locust plague! However, the locust plague in Shandong this time is different from the past. You may think that the local farmers will be depressed, but in fact everyone is very happy! Reporters and relevant government departments immediately rushed to the disaster area to report and guide the disaster relief after receiving the notice of locust disaster!

However, when we arrived at the disaster area, we were stunned by what we saw. People from ten miles and eight townships poured into the streets, holding nets in their hands, and organized groups to catch locusts! In fact, some people began to eat locusts in ancient China, but at that time, the population was small and there were no suitable tools, so it was not easy to catch locusts in the face of locust plague. Besides, the locusts caught by people are only a drop in the bucket to alleviate the locust plague!

But it's different now. Everyone's life has improved. They all like to eat different things. Many villagers usually find it difficult to catch locusts. It is a good thing that swarms of locusts were sent to the door because of the outbreak of locust plague. How can such a good opportunity be missed? The local villagers opened their nets and soon caught 10 kg of locusts! Some people even started to use their brains to sell locusts online, and a catty of locusts cost 26 yuan. The local villagers laughed from ear to ear and made more money than planting corn!
