The Great Explosion of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 326 The Grabs Are Not Enough to Eat

Although it is said that people who are hungry and crazy can eat anything, eating locusts has never appeared before.Even Yang Xiong would inevitably have some resistance, at least before he put the fried locust into his mouth, he was resistant.

"Kaz Kaz..." It has to be said that the locusts were fried so crispy that even Liu Bowen and Shi Hui next to him could hear Yang Xiong chewing.The key is that he chewed carefully, and his gloomy face gradually relaxed.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Shi Hui asked with a smile.

"It doesn't look very good, but it's really good to chew! I've heard that someone boiled it in water before, and it was very unpalatable. There were even cases where locusts came out of their abdomens. Therefore, many people are disgusted with eating locusts." Thank you for your kindness." Yang Xiong swallowed the locust, and then said to Shi Hui.

"Well, it's good if it's delicious!" Shi Hui nodded, then picked one up, suppressing the nausea in his heart, and put it in his mouth.The initial aroma of the sauce covered up the taste of locusts, and after slowly chewing, the taste came out.

It didn't have the feeling of bursting pulp as imagined. After all, it was the result of careful cleaning. The key is to fry it crispy, and it tastes like some kind of puffed food.

"Yes! We can start buying!" Shi Hui nodded, and then looked at Liu Bowen, "Bowen, Wenhe, do you want to try it? It doesn't look ugly, but the benefits contained in it are better than beef of the same weight. There are more. My original intention is to dry it and grind it into powder, and then add it to the army as a military supply, and drink a cup every day, which can also help soldiers increase their strength, and the key is to reduce the demand for meat for elite soldiers.”

"That's it..." Liu Bowen nodded when he heard the words, then picked up one with chopsticks, and tried to take a bite.Both Shi Hui and Yang Xiong can eat so deliciously, so the taste will not be bad, after all, there is no need to deceive him.

I ate one, chewed it slowly, and felt it slowly, but I felt that I could accept the taste.After all, the locust dish without dried chili is still slightly inferior.

Seeing this, Jia Xu tried to pick up one to try. I have to say that this old boy is still so desperate for his life that he will not try until everyone has finished testing the poison.

"The taste is not bad. It can be used as a new dish in Jiangnan. My lord is getting more and more proficient in the study of food." Liu Bowen laughed. Who in Jiangnan doesn't know that Shi Hui likes to eat very much and has high requirements for food. , and even created a lot of dishes, but I didn't expect to have extended the clutches to the locusts.

"I'm bored, why don't you give me some hobbies?" Shi Hui shrugged. In this era, there is no entertainment on the Internet, so you can't have fun every day, and there are not many places to have fun, such as tea tasting, calligraphy and painting, etc. He is not interested either, but this appetite is the most unbearable, which unknowingly created a lot of dishes for him, not to mention the popularity of stir-fried dishes in Jiangnan, and the cuisines have also begun to become more perfect.

It is said that "what is good at the top will be effective at the bottom", the gentry below also began to pursue delicious food, so many game and farmed things began to be put on the table, farmers, hunters, vegetable farmers and even the owners of seasoning workshops , but earned a lot.

Many things naturally began to develop around food.It can be said that poetry and poetry may not be very popular in Jiangnan, but food is popular here.As for folk customs and martial arts, it is due to the particularity of Jiangnan. At the same time, because of the expansion of the printing press and the popularity of cheap books, many people have also started to read books. In fact, Shangwen has nothing to boast about.

"But this time it is indeed very meaningful!" Liu Bowen picked up another one and ate it, "With this taste, I am afraid that all major restaurants will be willing to buy locusts to cook, and even become a special dish in Nanyang. I know. If you eat it like this, the locust plague will naturally be quelled!"

"The key is that the people in the disaster area can earn some money by selling locusts, and recover some of the losses this year." Jia Xu also nodded. If the benefits of locusts are many, then buying locusts is more cost-effective than buying poultry meat .

After all, even the cheapest chicken or pork would not be less than five yuan a catty, and in some areas it was ten yuan a catty.

"Then what are you waiting for, list the rules and regulations, and then call me the biggest restaurant shopkeepers in each county, and I will teach them a few recipes for locusts!" Shi Hui announced directly.

When everyone heard the words, they naturally didn't dare to neglect, so they quickly started to get busy.The messengers went out quickly to pass on the order of Shi Hui, and even envoys went to Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Yangzhou and even Xuzhou to inform about the acquisition of locusts, and also brought a recipe to Mu Huali and Cenxi.

Not long after that, while the locusts were heading south, Chuan Shihui from all over the place actually came forward to buy the locusts.Fresh ones cost a penny, and dried ones cost ten pennies a catty.As the news spread, people from all over the place started to catch the locusts as long as they had a little spare time after receiving the news.

Thanks to this year, the locust god has not yet appeared, otherwise it would be somewhat difficult.In fact, the prevalence of gods and ghosts was during the Eastern, Western, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. Before that, the common people believed that locusts were a kind of disaster, rather than divine punishment.

If you have money but don't make money, it happens that the common people are affected by disasters, and many farmlands have no crops. Everyone doesn't know what to do.Knowing that this thing can make money, one or two eyes suddenly lit up.There is no need to catch them at all, just take a net and catch a lot of them. These things are all over the sky, and you can't catch them all.

Most of them are sold nearby, mainly to try to see if they are really bought, who knows if they are really bought, and if they make money, they will naturally catch a lot of them when they go back.This time they learned to be smart. Instead of selling fresh ones, they dried them before selling them. Not only can they pack more, but they can also make more money, and they won’t die on the way and fail to sell.

However, in some places, such as Jiujiang County, Xiapi County, and Nanyang County, not only the government buys locusts, but also many restaurants come forward to buy locusts. catty.

The common people are looking for profit, so they naturally grab a lot of fresh locusts and take them to restaurants to buy them. On the way, they find out that the restaurants buy these locusts, but cook them and sell them.

"Can this thing be sold?" Many people smiled, and they had never heard of eating locusts.

As a result, after asking, I found out that this stuff was selling pretty well. Many restaurants tried their best to promote it with their recipes, and tried it for free. As a result, many people started to try it. After eating it, they started to like it, and it was not expensive. , It is said that there are many benefits, this is what General Zhengnan, Yangzhou Mu said, and it immediately attracted many people to taste it.

So after the cycle, the locusts in the major restaurants were a bit insufficient, so someone actually offered to buy them for three pennies a catty, and the people who caught the locusts and sold them were very happy.

For a while, locusts became a special dish in the three counties, and they were improved according to local tastes. More dried locusts were ground into powder and transported to the army as military supplies, which indeed met the protein needs of some elite soldiers.

"My lord, there are not many locusts that can be purchased now, should we raise the price?" Uncle Liu found Shi Hui and asked with a smile.
