In Chen Feng's backyard, more than a dozen people dressed as chefs knelt in front of Guo Tu, receiving Guo Tu's instruction.These days, Chen Feng insisted on eating locusts every day, and Guo Tu also ate a lot.

Of course, Guo Tu didn't want Chen Feng to suffer, but at the same time, he himself had had enough of this disgusting thing.Most of the time, he had to admire Chen Feng's willpower, he did it so realistically even though it was an act.

In order to show his loyalty and ability, Guo Tu must now find a way to make the locusts more delicious. At least, this will save him from suffering. At that time, if Chen Feng praises him again, it will naturally be Better yet.

Sometimes, you have to admit that some people seem incompetent and flatter their superiors, but such people are always liked by their superiors.

Chapter 700

Sometimes, as a superior, you really need the company of some courtiers.In other words, the lonely superior lacks all emotions, but needs someone to understand. Therefore, the emperor can always be seen in history accompanied by villains.

Undoubtedly, Guo Tu is a villain, and he is also a villain who can speculate on Chen Feng's mind.But this is also a villain, many people hate him, but Chen Feng just wants to keep him by his side.

Guo Tu is not extremely smart, but he is definitely not stupid. Moreover, this person is extremely active and can read other people's thoughts. In addition, he is good at pleasing his superiors, so even if he changes the master, he can still get along very well. good.

Chen Feng insisted on eating locusts every day, and Guo Tu ate with Chen Feng.In order to prevent Chen Feng from eating something, he tried every means to make the locusts more delicious.

Of course, his behavior was reprimanded by Chen Feng and despised by other colleagues, but Chen Feng only gave him verbal admonition and no other punishment.

On the surface, Guo Tu was disgusted by Chen Feng, but in fact, Guo Tu knew in his heart that he had gained Chen Feng's initial trust.

As a villain who just took office and had a feud with Chen Feng a long time ago, Guo Tu is very satisfied with his current state.

"Please look, my lord. This is a cooking method that some chefs just came up with. After a simple treatment, the locusts can be fried and eaten directly. The taste is crunchy and has a special taste."

In the living room, Guo Tu walked to the dining table with a plate in his hand. Chen Feng insisted on eating locusts every day. They were all rejected by Chen Feng.

From Chen Feng's point of view, he wants to share the joys and sorrows with the people of the world, if he finds ways to use expensive spices and complicated techniques to make locusts delicious, then what's the point.

But this time, Guo Tu took the risk of being reprimanded to bring the plate of locusts.This time, there are no expensive condiments, and no complicated craftsmanship. Although this plate of locusts is not as delicious as the previous few times, it is more convenient and simple.

"That's right, it's quite interesting. Gongze, you have spent a lot of thought, but is this plate of locusts really as you said, simple in craftsmanship, convenient and fast?"

"It's natural, my lord, how dare my subordinates deceive you. You see, after the locusts are taken out of the internal organs and sundries, they are simply marinated and fried.

You can enjoy it out of the pan, the taste is crunchy, sweet and delicious. If this method can be popularized, there will be another plate of delicious food on the tables of the people all over the world. "

Guo Tu had a flattering look on his face. If others saw it, they would probably feel disgusted, but Chen Feng didn't think so.Being rational and calm, he naturally knew that Guo Tu was trying his best to please himself.

"Since this is the case, quickly teach this method to the people of the world. In addition, from now on, I will use this method to cook locusts. As long as the plague of locusts is still there, I will eat locusts for a day."

"No, my lord is kind and sympathetic to the common people. It is really a blessing for the people of Hebei. Now the lord has invented this kind of craft, which is really a benefit to the common people. I thank the lord on behalf of the people of the world."

After finishing speaking, Guo Tu hurriedly knelt down to salute, with that expression, that posture, as humble as he wanted, as respectful as he wanted, Chen Feng could find a little satisfaction and comfort from Guo Tu's flattery.

Soon, news about this new style of cooking locusts spread, and the people all over Hebei who are busy exterminating locusts are also excited now. The Lord of Hebei always keeps them in mind, and now he still came up with such a new idea The unique cooking method not only helps to exterminate locusts, but also enables poor people to have a source of food.

So far, although the locust plague in Hebei is still serious, the people in Hebei have been mobilized to exterminate the locusts.Every household has a plate of locusts for every meal.

To borrow Chen Feng's words, if locusts can eat the food of the common people, then the world can eat the flesh of locusts.In this way, with so many people in Hebei, plus the army under Chen Feng's command and the 30 slaves transferred from the grassland, the number of locusts to be eaten every day is a terrifying number.

Chen Liu, in Cao Cao's mansion, in a bedroom in the backyard, Cao Cao was sighing while holding a secret report, and Guo Jia, who was lying on the bed, also smiled wryly.

After being in a coma for so long, Guo Jia finally woke up, but his health was very bad. The doctor repeatedly told Guo Jia to take a good rest and never to bother him.

After hearing the doctor's instructions, Cao Cao didn't know why. Guo Jia almost ran out of fuel to help him break out of the siege. Now that he can wake up again, it is considered God's favor for him.

"The momentum has already been achieved. If you can't stop him within a year, it will be very difficult to go to Hebei again in the future."

After a long time, Guo Jia said this sentence. He already knew about the situation in Hebei. He even inquired about Chen Feng's deeds of eating locusts and praying for the people.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the people of Jizhou and Qingzhou are eager for a stable and prosperous life, and the arrival of Chen Feng has satisfied their hopes to a certain extent.

At the same time, Chen Feng is a high-ranking person who is good at winning people's hearts and showing off. After his campaign and performances, the people of Jizhou and Qingzhou basically turn to him.

Cao Cao nodded with a wry smile. To be honest, if he moved to another place, he would really be unable to eat locusts in front of everyone like Chen Feng. Sometimes, he had to admire Chen Feng's methods.

"How difficult it is to go north again. From last year to now, all parts of the Central Plains have suffered from military disasters, locust plagues, and severe food production reductions. The victims of the disasters are everywhere, and there are potential rebellions everywhere.

Chen Feng occupied Hebei, even though he had to invest a huge amount of food and supplies, once he was relieved, it would be enough to crush the Central Plains.

Zang Ba died in battle, Gao Gan was killed, Yuan Rang was defeated, and Ziwen and the others were forced to stop before they even reached Qingzhou. It can be said that our best opportunity to attack Chen Feng has been lost. "

"Don't worry, my lord. Although Chen Feng is strong, he is arrogant. This time, he took Qingzhou when the locust plague was everywhere, which actually brought him a lot of burden.

We can't go north, and he can't go south now. Right now, it depends on who can recover sooner.The territory Chen Feng occupies is too narrow and long, and the distance between them is too far away. This is his weakness.

Right now, what we have to do is to appease the victims and eliminate the locusts as soon as possible. As soon as our army has accumulated food and grass, we can go north and defeat Chen Feng in one fell swoop. "

Although Guo Jia is weak, the expression on his face is still so confident.Even at a disadvantage, he believed that he would not lose to Chen Feng.

Hearing what his most trusted counselor said, Cao Cao also nodded. After a short period of frustration, Cao Cao, a hero in troubled times, became high-spirited again.

Chapter 701

It has been more than a month since the locust plague broke out, and the disaster situation in various parts of the Central Plains has become more serious. A large number of refugees have flocked to other more affluent places, and there is even the possibility of civil unrest in some places.

On the other hand, Qingzhou and Jizhou suffered no better disasters than the Central Plains at the beginning, but as time went by, the situation in these two places improved. Although there were also refugees at the beginning, they were quickly resettled properly by the local government.

In particular, Chen Feng, the new lord of Hebei Central, personally inspected the people's situation and urged the major families to donate food.Moreover, Chen Feng had prayed to heaven many times, begging God to save the people.

All of this, in the eyes of some people, may be Chen Feng acting.But in the eyes of ordinary people, what Chen Feng did was worthy of his reputation as a benevolent lord.

The most important thing is that Chen Feng was willing to exchange his own life for the peace of the people, and he ignored all dangers. The legend of the God of Eating Locusts has spread all over Hebei.

Many people were moved by setting up longevity tablets at home and praying for Chen Feng after their daily work. From this point of view, Chen Feng's method of winning people's hearts is effective.

With Chen Feng taking the lead, the people in all parts of Hebei also resorted to all means to exterminate the locusts. They were short of food and clothing, and they ate locusts directly. Especially after the cooking method Guo Tu came up with was popularized, locusts were considered bad. Catastrophic disaster.

Millions of people, hundreds of thousands of slaves, plus lieutenant officers and peasants in the fields, each of them would eat an average of seven or eight locusts every day. Soon, the locusts in Qingzhou and Jizhou would not be enough to eat.

The situation is critical, and the outbreak of such a strong locust plague was suppressed by the people of Hebei in this way, which is simply unimaginable.

In fact, the locust plague did not stop there, and I don’t know why, maybe the locusts sensed the unkindness of the people in Hebei, and they stopped migrating to Hebei, and instead spread to the Central Plains.

As a result, the disaster on Cao Cao's territory was even more serious.In fact, Hebei is densely populated, and Qingzhou has suffered from wars, and there has been no large-scale food cultivation for more than half a year.

Last year, another flood broke out in Jizhou, flooding a lot of land, and there are still many places flooded. In fact, the locust eggs in the soil have been drowned. In other words, the land of Hebei is already short of locusts Living space and soil.

As for the territory of the Central Plains, since wars seldom broke out, the food grown by the common people and the soldiers planted in the field was a lot, and the range was very fast, which naturally attracted the locust army even more.

Of course, the crazy eating of locusts by the people in Hebei is also an important reason for the migration of locusts to the Central Plains.In short, with the end of the summer harvest, the Central Plains and Hebei have not harvested much food, and the situation in the two places is similar.

But then, the grass seedlings that had just been planted in all parts of the Central Plains were eaten by locusts, but in Hebei, it was different. The area near the sea in Qingzhou had replanted grain and was not affected by locusts.

As for the land of Jizhou, Chen Feng mobilized 30 slaves to start the reconstruction of the basic project.He wanted to seize this opportunity to minimize the impact of Zhangshui and Weishui.

At the same time, Jizhou's water conservancy facilities are the most complete and reliable. Although the embankments of Weishui and Zhangshui have suffered a certain degree of damage, as long as they are repaired in time, they can still be restored to their original state as soon as possible.
