Because locusts are gods, they can't be eaten!

The ancients were superstitious. They thought that locusts were a disaster from God. They were sent to the world by gods, and it was too late to worship. How can they eat them?

but in fact, locusts are not only edible, but also delicious! Locust is also called grasshopper, which is a famous food in Shandong. This is not nonsense, you can search on Taobao. Some people say that locusts are so ugly, how can they be eaten?

Then you think too much. The real way to eat is not to be confused by the appearance of food. In their eyes, this is more delicious than crayfish, and those black wings are no different from fried shark's fin.

Modern scientific research has found that locusts are not only rich in nutrition, soft and tender in meat, delicious as shrimp, rich in protein, carbohydrates, insect hormones and other active substances, but also contain vitamins. They are also good medicines for treating diseases, and have the effects of warming the stomach and strengthening the yang, invigorating the spleen and promoting digestion, expelling wind and relieving cough. I have eaten roasted grasshoppers, which are really delicious.

of course, it was not unheard of in ancient times!

In ancient times, locusts were rampant, and the people were living in poverty. The rulers made great efforts to control the locusts, but they didn't set fire to them, beat gongs to drive them away, and how they worked. When people were generally in awe of locusts at that time, Emperor Taizong set an example and became the first person in the world to eat "grasshoppers":

In the imperial garden, Emperor Taizong said, "People take the valley as their life, and the people have had it. If you give it to one person, it will be spiritual, but when it erodes my heart, it will not harm the people." Swallow it, it is not a disaster. -"Zhenguan dignitaries"

See it, it's still raw, and Bell has to be addressed as a granddaddy when he sees it!

According to the New Yuan History, "In the 19th year of Yuan Dynasty, in May, in Shandong, Hedong, Henan, Guanzhong and other places, locusts flew all over the sky, and all crops and plants were eaten. The sun is covered, and people can't walk. Every pit is filled with profit. Hungry people catch locusts for food, or they accumulate after exposure ... "So it's not that the ancients didn't eat locusts, but ah, the locust plague can't be solved by eating a few grasshoppers!

First of all, the locust plague in China is extremely frequent, and it comes once every few years.

According to the statistics in Deng Yunte's History of Rescuing the Famine in China, the average locust plague occurred once every 8.8 years in Qin and Han Dynasties, 3.5 years in Song Dynasty, 1.6 years in Yuan Dynasty, and 2.8 years in Ming and Qing Dynasties. The scope and degree of the disaster are the highest in the world. The most important thing is that they are extremely fast, and there is no harvest in their path, which is hard to prevent. Those ancient earth tools are hard to grasp at all, and of course they can't be finished!

This is obvious. Locusts fly in the sky. They are small and fast, so people on the ground are hard to catch. Therefore, the ancients have never been able to come up with a good way to control the locust plague.

finally, locusts are attacked in groups, and they can't be caught at all. There are so many locusts coming, and they are all desperate, okay?
