The next day, it was still dark—

A large number of officers and soldiers divided into groups of five and took to the street carrying the oil pots and stalls!

Jiang Yunluo even personally led people, and Wei Yan went directly to the center of the busiest street in the city!

"Princess, is this... okay?"

Wei Yan was still a little hesitant.

Jiang Yunluo, however, was extremely calm. While clearing the table, she said in a brisk tone: "Prefect Wei, don't worry, I have made some improvements last night, and with the large number of people in the city, there will always be curious and greedy ones. As long as If someone dares to try it, he will definitely spread it to ten people, and if it works, the surrounding cities will definitely follow suit."

The rest is much simpler.

Human beings' greed and curiosity for food are immeasurable.

People today must not have imagined that in the future, many species may even be eaten to the point of becoming endangered.

"Princess, the oil pan has been set up."

Some officers and soldiers came to report.

"Well, hard work."

Jiang Yunluo smiled at the other party.

The officer and soldier were stunned for a moment, then their earlobes turned a little red, and they left quickly!

Huayue had a panoramic view of this scene from the side, and couldn't help but come up to him sourly.

"Hey... Even though I'm dressed up like this, I'm still..."

Before he could finish the joke, a pack of bamboo sticks was stuffed into his hand.

"Talk less, work more! Go put these on the table, go!"

Jiang Yunluo pushed his shoulders and turned around.

Huayue had no choice but to accept her fate.

A group of people have been busy for most of the day.

Finally, we set up the stall in time for the early market hours on weekdays.

There were gradually more and more people on the street.

but……

That's a lot.

Because of the drought, it is not as good as usual.

There was no one setting up stalls.

It’s just that some people got up early to fetch water.

Seeing the stall and Jiang Yunluo and Wei Yan in person, they came over curiously.

"Your Highness Princess, Lord Prefect, this is..."

Some people looked at the two large basins covered with linen on the stall with curiosity.

"This is……"

Wei Yan opened his mouth, with the words "fried locusts" on his lips. He couldn't say it anyway, so he could only look at Jiang Yunluo for help.

Jiang Yunluo was not in a hurry to untie it, she just smiled and explained that the people had been suffering recently, and she and the prefect specially prepared free food to reward everyone.

No one can resist the word "free".

As soon as they heard that no money was required, the onlookers immediately dispersed and went everywhere to announce this great event!

It didn’t take long for almost half of the city’s people to gather here!

"Master Taishou, what have you prepared? There is such a big frying pan!"

"Could it be something fried?"

"Master Taishou, please stop showing off!"

Everyone's curiosity has reached its peak.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Jiang Yunluo cleared her throat.

"Everyone, don't be impatient!"

Because of what she did to treat people yesterday, she has gained a lot of goodwill.

When he spoke again at this moment, the people immediately looked over!

Then I saw her suddenly lifting the linen covering the big basin!

next moment--

"Huh!"

"what!"

"This...this is..."

Everyone took a step back!

The ghostly look on his face was exactly the same as Wei Yan's yesterday.

Soon someone shouted in dissatisfaction: "The free food I just mentioned! Could it be this?!!!"

"What do you mean, the governor and your highness the princess! Are they playing tricks on us?"

Someone instigated it, and the people's dissatisfaction was immediately aroused!

In an instant, everyone's originally expectant expression turned into resentment!

"Prefect Wei! No matter how miserable and hungry the people of Huaicheng are, they have never complained about Prefect Wei! Now the prefect is actually describing this pest as a reward for the people?! We won't eat it!"

"Yes! Don't eat!"

Someone in the crowd chimed in.

Wei Yan had already expected this scene, and suddenly he looked embarrassed, and was about to speak——

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Jiang Yunluo make some moves.

She rolled up her sleeves, scooped up a spoonful of it with a large iron spoon, and dipped it directly into the batter prepared on the side.

This was specially prepared by her all night long.

After all, the appearance of this thing alone is really off-putting.

It will be much better if you can't see it wrapped in batter.

The people were suddenly quiet for a moment, their eyes following her movements almost subconsciously.

Jiang Yunluo did not miss this opportunity and slowly said: "Although locusts are pests, they are not inaccessible. I wonder if you have heard that in Nanzhao Kingdom, not to mention locusts, even poisonous insects such as scorpions and centipedes can also Take it and fry it, cook it, and make it into delicacies. Not only is it harmless, but it can actually replenish your body?"

While he was talking, the locusts wrapped in batter had already got out of the frying pan.

"Stab" sound!

The aroma of fried food filled the entire street almost immediately!

The contents of the oil pan were yellow, bubbling and splashing with oil.

Soon, someone in the crowd swallowed uncontrollably and whispered: "This smell... why does it smell so good..."

The voice didn't fall--

Then someone immediately retorted loudly: "We are not in Nanzhao! Who knows whether eating this insect will make you sick!"

"That's right! We can't compare with the Nanzhao Kingdom! Can insects be eaten at will?"

Although there was a lot of discussion, the crowd never left.

On the contrary, more and more people gathered together.

They all stared at the oil pan.

Watching the "delicious food" inside turn from light yellow to attractive golden color.

Jiang Yunluo fished it out skillfully and put it aside.

The other hand brought another empty basin, and the seasonings prepared before were poured into it, and he smiled.

"Don't panic, everyone. Since Prefect Wei and I dare to take it out, it is naturally edible, and the entire Prefect's Mansion has tasted it yesterday..."

As she spoke, she glanced at Wei Yan from the corner of her eye.

Wei Yan stood up immediately.

After he ate the first one yesterday, he overcame his initial discomfort. Later he ate some more, and after tasting the taste, he was completely able to accept it.

What's more...

What's in front of me right now is nothing more than fried food wrapped in batter.

Just throw it in your mouth.

Thinking about it, he without hesitation tied one with a bamboo skewer and put it in his mouth.

"Ouch!"

"The prefect really ate it!"

The onlookers burst into exclamations, waiting to see his reaction.

Unexpectedly, Wei Yan's expression remained unchanged. Instead, he smacked his lips in amusement and said with a smile, "Do you want to give it a try?"

A group of common people looked at me and I looked at you, and they were completely silent.

Then when she saw Jiang Yunluo, she tied one up and put it into her mouth without changing her expression.

"Your Highness the Princess actually dares to eat it!"

The crowd exploded again.

Everyone’s eyes were not as firm as before.

after all……

Ignore that the thing in front of you is something other than a bug.

The aroma that fills the street is indeed enough to arouse everyone's appetite.

Besides, it was only early in the morning.

No one had breakfast.

But...eating bugs...is too...

No one in the crowd dared to stand up.

Jiang Yunluo smiled slightly and finally dropped the bombshell.

"Now the prefect and I have eaten on the spot, but are there any curious warriors who dare to come up and try it? The first ten who come up and can eat ten can get an extra bucket of water today!"
