[Comprehensive] The days when I pretended to be a meow in the Forbidden City

After this campaign, about [-] locusts were beheaded.

In summer and autumn, when the wind direction is southeast, the soldiers unhurriedly opened the fire that had been covered before, and then lit the withered grass below. Clusters of black smoke.

The black smoke is occasionally mixed with other colors, precisely because coal with more impurities that was eliminated by the iron workshop was put into it.

These coals... contain a lot of sulfides and nitrogen compounds. The sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide produced after combustion have a strong pungent smell. Naturally, they cannot be used for ironmaking or briquettes on weekdays, even if In an open environment, this is also a way to drive away customers, so the coal was originally to be discarded, but Xia Anran kept it. It was originally intended to try to make gunpowder, but now it is used here first.

The wind was not strong that day, but Cao Jun had already made preparations.

They dismantled the bellows used in iron smelting, pulled them by horses, and blew air behind several large smoke barrels.

The black smoke produced in this way cannot achieve the effect of fumigation, but it can indeed make the locusts be compressed into several small phalanxes in order to avoid the smoke. In front of these phalanxes is Cao Jun in heavy armor with open net pockets.

This heavy armored cavalry can be said to be the most elite team of Cao Ying, and it can also be said to be the most expensive team. They are usually responsible for the shield attack on the battlefield, but their task at this time is to reduce the attack of locusts. Speed, as well as using its own defense power to block the suicide attacks from locusts for colleagues as much as possible.

They walked very tragically.

Because locusts are different from arrows, at least arrows will not turn in mid-air, but locusts will.

Cao Cao's heavy-armored troops had helmets, but no blindfolds. When the locusts smashed the armor, some of them would always hit their eyes.

Fortunately, this possibility was thought of before going up to the peak. The ground where they were standing had been cleared. The heavily armored troop, with no more than thirty men, turned around under the instruction of the whistle and moved in a backward posture. , the two of them held a net and unfolded it. The impact of the locusts was too strong and too dense. It was barely worth a cup of tea. The net in their hands had become so heavy that it was impossible to lift it up again.

After the whistle sounded, they took a step closer to each other at the same time, threw the net pockets on the ground, and spread out a new net at the same time. If the net pocket is full, they will stuff the new net into the quiver bag of the heavy armored knight, this is the most convenient direction for these soldiers to take things out.

The first batch of recycled net bags were quickly transported to the rear. After all, these nets are woven with grass. Although these nets were soaked in persimmon paint in advance, if the movement is not fast enough, they will soon be bitten out of the hole. After all, locusts But it is a creature that will eat even its own kind when it is hungry.

Bags of locusts were thrown into boiling water and cooked quickly. The cooked locust carcasses were dumped on a flatbed truck and transported away by soldiers. At the same time, they were also responsible for adding water to the pot to ensure the first Can kill the locusts in the net bag.

Looking at the corpses of the locusts one by one, the local folks responsible for the transportation were not to mention how cheerful they were. If Cao Jun hadn't stopped them, these insects would have eaten their crops!

Although they were a little puzzled why Cao Jun still sent people to recover the locust corpses, maybe it was to prevent diseases?Oh, thinking about it this way, Inspector Cao is really a good man!The man thought so, and he was thinking while pulling the car. This car is really easy to use, and it doesn’t take any effort to pull it up. I wonder if this car can be made by ourselves?

If it is possible, it will be effortless to transport food in the future.

The farmer, who was happy in his heart, walked and walked, and suddenly he inhaled an extremely fragrant smell.

It's the smell of soybean oil, mixed with the smell of meat, and it seems that I can still hear the sound of time, time, time, and I don't know why, this strange sound makes the man swallow his saliva, and the saliva is quickly secreted from his cheeks, Ticks all the way gathered under the tongue.

He grunted, and couldn't help thinking in his heart: My God, this, this is Cao Ying cooking lunch!Also, it's too fragrant.

Hehehe, I don’t know if I can take a bite or two when Master Jun is happy... Just one bite, let me try what it tastes like...

Prompted by the scent, the wind was blowing under his feet, because the place where the scent came from was the place where the locusts were promised to be delivered. He walked in a hurry and arrived quickly, but he was quickly frightened by the next scene. .

I saw several cauldrons erected at the end of his transportation. These are the seconded military camp copper cauldrons with a very large capacity. I saw Master Xia commanding several soldiers to collect the locust carcasses that were transported in the previous batch. One batch has to be put in the pot.

The firewood at the bottom of the copper cauldron was burning extraordinarily vigorously, and the domestic tumbling should be soybean oil, one after another oil bubbles tumbling, the locusts were already dehydrated during the transportation process, and when they were poured down, they still made a "time" sound, and then followed The soldiers stirred with sticks, and the rich fragrance came out.

It smells so good!

So fragrant! ! !

But!Is that a locust? !

The upright civilian man let go of his hand after being sluggish, and the handle of the cart fell to the ground with a "bang" sound, which attracted the attention of the onlookers. Holding his hand, he moved the cart to the side of the copper kettle. The bamboo basket containing the locust corpses was removed first, and then someone filled the pottery jar on his cart with water, and then transported it to this person, still maintaining this posture. in the hands of her husband.

"Hey bro, wake up!"

The civilian husband suddenly grabbed Jun Ye's hand, and he stammered, "Jun, Jun Ye, that, although locusts are indeed very hateful...but, you don't need to use the oil pan..., execution is enough It's... oil, let's forget about the oil pan."

This military master is an elite soldier under Cao Chun's tent. If he wants to hide, he can naturally dodge it, but he is not the first civilian man who said so today, and he is already a little numb now. The civilian husband pressed his hand on the handlebar again, "Don't worry, our Cao army dare not kill corpses, these locusts are for eating."

Until the peasant man walked more than ten feet away, he didn't turn this corner in his mind.

For a while, he didn't know whether it was more terrifying that Cao Ying actually tortured the corpses in a frying pan, or that it was more terrifying that Cao Ying would eat the enemy's corpses directly!

eat, eat! ! !

Eat locusts!Cao Jun is terrible!

...but it smells so good.

That's a locust!insect!Food-eating bugs!

...but it smells really good.

insect!insect!insect!

... Cough, is that really edible?

Think about it carefully, insects eat their food, and chickens, ducks, geese and livestock also eat food... Chickens, ducks, geese and livestock can eat it, why can't locusts eat it?

No no no how can I think so!

The entangled farmer went to load another batch of locust corpses. This time, he looked at the basket of corpses with strange eyes. It could not be said that he felt sorry for them being tortured after death, or was thinking about whether this thing was really edible.

Thinking about it carefully, the belly of this worm seems to be a bit fat... What does it taste like after being fried... But this thing has no meat on its legs.

Well, speaking of it, people in the village do have the habit of grilling worms, but what they eat are bean worms. It is said that after cleaning the internal organs, put them in a kettle and sprinkle some salt on them, they will taste delicious!

oops!Master Xia didn't clean the internal organs when cooking insects!How unhygienic!

So he rushed over in a hurry, and begged to see Xia Anran under the complicated eyes of the soldier, Xia Anran immediately felt that this girl had a future when she heard the tangled point.

Especially when he was expecting, Ai Ai asked if he could try this thing.

Talent, this must be talent.

Xia Anran immediately turned on a small stove for him, and asked people to return the oiled locusts to stir-fry, sprinkle some salt, and put them in a small bamboo basket for him to take away.

When the man walked away, his footsteps were a little vain. He pulled the cart and walked, walked and walked, and couldn't hold back. He reached into his pocket, touched a fried locust, and stuffed it into his mouth, oh! ! ! !

Crispy, crispy and fragrant!

It tastes better than chicken and duck! !

The shell on the outside was deep-fried until crispy. Although it was not coated with flour, it was directly dry-fried, but because the frying time was not long, the meat inside remained fresh and tender. ?

The man's eyes became firmer.

This is the food God gave them, just like fishing floods and beast tides. If you can bear them, it is the most delicious food. If you can't resist them, we are their food. That's right, it must be like this.

Such delicious food...how could it be an enemy!

Theoretically speaking, locusts can be eaten all over the body, but in modern times, for the sake of food hygiene, they are habitually kept for a few days. After they get rid of impurities in the body, they clean up the head, internal organs, and wings, and then cook, but now time is urgent. Naturally, there is no time for such fine-tuning.

In fact, Cao Jun is not short of food now. To be honest, using soybean oil to fry locusts is not very cost-effective in terms of cost and availability, but his purpose is to promote this food as quickly as possible, although it can be salted and made into sauce , barbecue, but these are not as fast, more convenient, and more powerful than frying.

To promote this thing, his advantage now is that the people have not been bound by many ideas of later generations, especially in the embarrassing situation in the Tang and Song Dynasties that no one dared to eat locusts because of "karma" even though it was officially proved that locusts were edible.

After all, people are so hungry that even people can eat them. If they don’t eat locusts, it’s just that they are not hungry enough. When they are really hungry, the locusts have already reproduced for two rounds, and they can’t eat any more.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were constant droughts, and locust plagues were almost unavoidable. Even if Cao Jun worked so hard now, it would still be an arduous battle in the early summer of next year. Therefore, Xia Anran felt that the people should be informed that locusts were edible. In fact, Most insects are edible and very nutritious.

Just don't eat it raw, it's delicious grilled, boiled, or fried.

Only the common people know that locusts can be eaten, and they are very delicious. In the future, when the locust plague comes, they will not dare to close the door or kneel on the ground like some dynasties in later generations.

But when the time comes, they must be reminded that although locusts are insects, they are still aggressive, so it is best not to act alone, especially to protect their eyes.

These are all things to say later, with the raw materials, Xia Anran will naturally show her skills.

The cook he brought was the little chef who had been with his Lu family since Cheng Gao, and he had already developed the greatest trust in Xia Anran. Basically, when Xia Anran said that this was edible and delicious, he would not hesitate at all. Degree.

In fact, when the first batch of locusts arrived, the cook had already tried to cut open the locusts' flesh.

For cooks, only by using their own senses of touch, smell, and taste to feel the ingredients, can they give the most suitable cooking treatment.

"Some... like shrimp."

Xia Anran gave him a thumbs up.

Locusts are called flying shrimps in later generations. Because of their high nutritional value, low cholesterol, and low burden on the body under the same protein intake, locusts have become a delicacy that needs to be farmed in later generations!

The cooked locust meat is tender and elastic.It is the same as shrimp. Both of them have well-developed muscles due to the way they move. In terms of taste, they are very chewy, rich in protein, and have a large feed intake. They are mainly vegetarian.

Moreover, the cook does not live near the sea, so he can only eat freshwater prawns occasionally. The edible parts of freshwater prawns are relatively small. In this comparison, the edible parts of locusts and freshwater prawns are similar, or even larger Some.

Xia Anran knows that the way to eat locusts in later generations is dry-stir frying or stir-frying. These two methods can indeed bring out the delicious taste of high-protein ingredients, and fried foods have a strong aroma. As the first stick of fame, It's a good fit.

Cut the shallots into sections and put them in oil. When the shallots are fragrant, lift them up and put them aside. Clean up the internal organs, wings and heads. The top coat was put into the frying pan, and it was quickly fried until golden. This time, Xia Anran didn't cook. He is the master of Yanzhou. It's one thing to like to cook in private, but you still have to pay attention to your image in public. of.

After all, as a civil servant, why is his name always put together with sauces and dishes!

On this day, from the Rizhong Pavilion to the sun's west slant, the people fought against the locusts for half a day, and achieved great results.

The border of Yuzhou is relatively long, so Cao Jun's location is naturally not in the same place, but because Yingchuan has just discovered a mining area, and the Zhengdong area of ​​Yingchuan is all Cao Cao's territory, he naturally focuses on stationing in Yingchuan County.

So for convenience, the meals of several armies here are provided uniformly.

But today, after everyone saw the hot meal, what happened for a while was not the joy of starting a business instead of giving dry food, but silence.

The dishes are very good, the corn porridge can't be poured with chopsticks, and each person is given a steamed bun, and the catering officer added a meaty one today.

This is already above the army's daily food level!

But the problem is that meaty smell!

Military men have good eyesight!Although the sky is getting dark now, everyone can still see the fragrant meaty meat...they have small thin feet, and occasionally a few "meaty fishy" that have not been clarified have insect heads on them!

insect!head!

Isn't this the locust that they just shot down today!

Also, still meaty...

Are bugs considered meaty?

A soldier couldn't hold back, he grabbed a civilian man who was busy in and out, coincidentally, the one caught by him was the one that Xia Anran evaluated as promising, "Hey, brother, what is this?" ?”

What he was referring to was the whole bucket of dark yellow meat that was placed in the copper kettle. There was still a fire under the copper kettle, and occasionally a crackle could be heard inside.

The civilian husband who was held by him turned his head to look at him, showing a big toothy smile, "This is a flying shrimp."

"It's delicious!"

"You must try it!"

"Excellent!"

...Do you think we don't know that you are a flying shrimp because you are called a flying shrimp?

Who would eat bugs!

But it smells so good, why is it so fragrant!

These fried locusts were turned over again. Seeing that no one of them was willing to come to serve the dishes, the peasants did not panic. They took a big shovel and turned the "flying shrimp" from the bottom of the pot up. The fragrance immediately flew out like the name of this thing.

Fragrant, so fragrant, just as everyone eagerly picked up the corn porridge in the bowl and was eating with the aroma, suddenly a warrior stood up, swallowed all the corn porridge in the bowl, and then strode forward Walking to the edge of the cauldron, he sent the bowl over with a heroic face.

At this time, the soldiers who were eating together all turned their eyes to him, and the soldier who was stared at by thousands of people stumbled, and he barely finished his lines, "Cao, Governor Cao will definitely not The one who harmed us, he said that if he could eat it, he would definitely eat it, I, my life was saved by Governor Cao, I believe in Governor Cao!"

The civilian husband who turned the pot took a look at him, his eyes were a little bit of hatred, but he also took the man's bowl, and gave him a spoonful of flying shrimp, and then the soldier held the bowl in a very solemn manner, Like holding gold.

As soon as he returned to the team, he was soon surrounded by a circle of people. Everyone came over and looked at the bowl of meat carefully. Everyone urged the soldier to try it. Under everyone's expectant eyes, the man gritted his teeth Dropped one into his mouth.

"Crack."

Following this movement, the soldiers who were secretly watching here couldn't help but swallowed their saliva.

When they got close, they could see that the "flying shrimp" was divided into two ends as soon as the soldier bit his teeth, and a delicate juice leaked out, which was rolled back by the man's tongue. Obviously the man was entangled at first Yes, he only used his teeth to bite the taste of food, and did not touch it with the taste buds on his tongue. His lips were even longer, trying to suck in as much air as possible.

Although the posture is indecent, it can indeed reduce the damage to a greater extent when eating unpalatable food.

But soon, his chewing movements became faster, and his lips were closed. It was obvious that he used his back molars to chew the flying shrimp, and then swallowed it with a gulp.

"Gudu." As he swallowed, the others silently swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looking at him expectantly.

In their imagination, it was a normal reaction for the soldier to vomit or look disheveled at this time, but it was definitely not silence.

What this man ate was the insects that had just been turned up from the bottom. Because they had been pressed down and surrounded by oil and water, this part of the locusts had been squashed. Of course, it was impossible to tell from the outside that they were locusts. It looks like ordinary dried fish, but the burnt aroma of meat can't fool anyone.

The soldier picked up another one and chewed it in his mouth. From the sound, he could tell that the food was crispy, and the soldier's brows that slowly stretched out immediately told everyone that the food was definitely not bad to eat.

"Hey, how's it going?"

The warrior ignored the urging of his comrades, but instead stuffed another one into his mouth without saying a word. The sound of "click, click, click" continued, and he moved the job bowl that was far away in front of him.

Seeing him in such a state, the honest soldiers of course would not have thought that he was playing hard to capture. Everyone glanced at each other, because in order to prevent the soldiers below from robbing other people's rations, the barracks clearly forbid eating other people's food, so they also No way to pick a few from this Warrior's bowl to try.

But at the same time, there is a rule that what is scooped into the bowl must be eaten.

On weekdays, no one will think about whether I can eat this thing. The soldiers eat a lot, and there is only enough food. There is absolutely no such thing as being unable to eat.

But now... this, this is a locust!

Seeing them hesitate, the cook who played a guest role as a civilian husband knocked on the copper cauldron, "The generals also eat this, why are you hesitating, it's delicious! If it's not good, I write Lao Lin's name upside down!"

He said so!

A few soldiers who usually had a good relationship with the civilian husband came out first, and they made it through, and then brought back a bowl full of flying shrimp.

These few people gathered together to prevent others from seeing their expressions. It was just that the witty soldiers learned something from the speed at which they cooked.

The market on the soldier's side has finally opened up, but the market on the officer's side is faster than them.

Almost none of the generals under Cao Ying's account were born hereditary, and they all came from small soldiers, and they trusted Xia Anran enough.

... He said it was a flying shrimp, he, they just barely believed it!

Otherwise, what else can we do!

If you don't give Xia Anran face, do you want more sauce?Do you want more tooth powder?Most importantly, do you want this year's wine?

If he doesn't give it to the first few, he can still ask the lord to ask for it, but the wine is not good, even the lord wishes they would take less, if Xia Jingxi detains their wine, the lord will only clap their hands and give them justice?nonexistent.

But... But Cao Zihe didn't move his chopsticks either.

This is the main reason for everyone's hesitation.

Cao Chun has always been Xia Anran's most staunch supporter, but today it is very strange that he didn't express his support for the food that Xia Anran cooked with his own hands?

This is very suspicious.

Seeing everyone looking at Cao Chun, Xia Anran blinked.

Whether it is Cao Chun or Shen Qi, although both of them are in the military, they will inevitably roll in the mud, bathe in the wind and rain, and lurk for a long time. As a rule, it is impossible for this kind of occupation to have a cleanliness.

But Cao Chun is a clean freak.

This Xia Anran felt that it had something to do with his first job. At that time, he was a secret official. In order to hide his whereabouts, he was required to be clean and tasteless. That is to say, he only started to eat some delicious dishes after he turned from darkness to light.

This is what Xia An later found out. At that time, Shen Qi was able to eat the stewed pork he made because he saved Lin Jue by coincidence. Lurking, that's why Shen Xiaoqi, who was not very young at that time, could indulge himself a little and eat some tasty food.

But later, after actually acting together, he realized how particular this person is.

When going all the way south to Yongchun County, Duo Duo Goose would not even think about entering the room unless he washed himself clean. The Shen Qi he saw every day after waking up was clean and refreshed with moisture.

In the evening, the two of them had to boil water and take a bath together.

And this person doesn't eat bugs.

Not to mention not eating bugs, he wouldn't even look at them if he could.

Xia Anran didn't know if anyone had tricked him into eating bamboo shoot jelly before him, anyway, Shen Qi had never eaten it when he was with him, and this person stayed far away when he was cooking.

——But he doesn't mind cheating others at all, because of his taciturn setting, he can cheat every time he cheats.

So you want him to eat locusts?

Impossible, even Xia Anran, who is a lover, can't do it, anyone else?Even more impossible.

Xia Anran took a look at the way the crowd looked at Cao Chun with small eyes and knew what they were thinking. He snorted softly and moved his body, "Zihe has been a little angry these past few days, so it's inconvenient to eat fried."

Liar! ?Can't eat deep-fried, who eats Yifu noodles at noon?

Isn't Yifu noodles fried?

Everyone slandered, but they dared not speak out.

Seeing them like this, Cao Cao was extremely calm. He ordered this crispy flying shrimp with bamboo chopsticks, and said with a smile, "You don't need to do this. This locust eats our food, so we use it to pay for the food, and treat it as ours." Free-range animals are gone."

"And Anran is good at cooking. He said it was delicious, so he thinks it must taste good." After finishing speaking, he stuffed it into his mouth to show his support for Xia Anran.

Click, click, click.

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, quite surprised, this smell... He unconsciously said the truth, "It goes well with wine."

Um! ? ?

Xia Anran immediately stood up and went up with the stick, "My lord, there is still a jar of wine made last year in Anran's house... It has been brewed for a year, and the taste is the most mellow in mid-autumn. Please give me a favor, my lord."

Um? ? ? ?

Guo Jia immediately raised his chopsticks, frowned, and ate several flying shrimps without hesitation, and then swallowed them all at once. Holding the bamboo chopsticks, he praised with a sincere expression, "This flying shrimp is extremely fat. , the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes, if you drink it with wine, you can drink it all night."

While talking, he silently glanced at Xia Anran, but it was a pity that he was a goddess who wanted to help King Wumeng. He couldn't bear to drink like this, he coughed dryly, knowing that Xia Anran pretended that he didn't hear Guo Jia's words, poor Guo Fengxiao is now being forced by everyone to quit drinking because of the bad result of the last medical examination.

Cao Cao said dryly, "You can enjoy the moon together as a filial piety, and Cao can share a little bit of my share."

my lord! !

Guo Jia's eyes lit up instantly!

Only the lord loves Jia! ! !

The people around, whether Wenruo, Wentai, or Jingxi, even Zhicai!They usually agreed to drink together with wine, but at the last moment, they were all unreliable, unreliable!

Seeing Cao Cao like this, Xia Anran twitched the corners of her lips. Of course, as the host, she couldn't keep silent at this time, otherwise she would be regarded as having some conflicts with Guo Jia.

So he came to his senses slowly, and expressed his sincere welcome to Guo Jia to participate in the sequence of enjoying the moon, drinking and eating locusts in the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Guo Jia had to ask the doctor first if he could drink.

Seeing this, no matter if you want to have a drink, or want to join a small group, don't be excluded, except for Cao Chun, the rest of the people have to eat a few mouthfuls of flying shrimp to express their support.

As for whether they chewed it up, or swallowed it directly... I won't mention it.

For the generals, they didn't care about food. When they were in the army, they ate dry food almost every day, and only occasionally had a warm meal when conditions allowed. They were so hungry that they didn't eat anything. Pass.

Mere bug meat... huh.

It really doesn't matter.

Civilian groups are more particular about people. What is more surprising is that Zhou Yu, who looks at the gentle and gentle, is actually the most stress-free person to eat this stuff. Seeing people curiously asking him, Zhou Yu slowly put down the bamboo chopsticks and said with a smile, "Yu has been eating since childhood. Lives by the water, likes to eat shrimp..."

Everyone nodded, but they still expressed their puzzlement. Seeing their expressions, Zhou Yu ordered the "flying shrimp" which was coated with flour and fried in oil.

Everyone showed stunned expressions, and after thinking about it carefully, they actually felt that they were about to be persuaded. This, this, these two seem to be really similar!

Xia Anran gave Zhou Yu an appreciative look.

That's right, that's it, whether it's shrimp or worms, as long as the diarrhea can be dealt with and the taste is good enough, you can eat it no matter how ugly it is!

This is the confidence of foodies from coastal cities.

...Because a lot of things by the seaside look weird and disgusting, so after a long time, the children of flower growers in the southeast coast no longer look good when eating, but seem rough People from the inland north and the Central Plains are more concerned about their faces. Those who see strange things and scream and shake their heads and yell no more are basically inland people... Well, biru

Feeling Xia Anran's shining eyes, Zhou Yu raised his cup with a smile, and the two clinked glasses far away, finding another common point besides the sound rate.

Cao Cao was very pleased with the harmonious appearance of both the civil servants and the military personnel.

In addition, they did kill a lot of locusts today. Although some fish were caught, the county pavilions in Yanyu and Yuzhou prefectures were ready to digest these migratory locusts.

Thinking about those densely packed locusts flying into his rule today, this year they will eat up all the fields, and they will lay eggs under his rule, and their descendants will come again next year, he couldn't help but get angry, and ate a few more mouthfuls of flying shrimp After venting his anger, he looked at Xia Anran, "Jingxi, is there a way to eradicate this locust?"

Xia Anran had just sat down to eat a few mouthfuls of food, and suddenly heard the call of the boss, swallowed the food in her mouth quickly, took the teacup, rinsed her mouth with barley tea, got up and replied, "My lord, everything in the world has a cause and effect."

"Locusts lay their eggs mostly on the bare ground. During severe droughts, the water level of rivers drops and there are more bare grounds. There are more places where they can lay eggs. Therefore, there will be locust plagues after severe droughts."

"That is to say..."

"If you increase the vegetation coverage, you can also plant grass in the vacant places, and at the same time divert water for irrigation, you can reduce the spawning grounds of locusts. You can kill locusts from the root. In addition, just like Yanzhou and Yuzhou are now, in the During the season when locusts are rampant, if poultry are released, a chicken can prey on forty to fifty locust larvae a day, and if it can be used as feed for chickens and ducks, it will be of great benefit.”

Speaking of this, Xia Anran showed a confident smile, "My lord, if Anran's expectations are correct, even if there are locusts from Yanyu and Yuzhou this year, it will definitely not be a disaster."

"In addition to the locusts from Jingzhou that we intercepted."

"I'm afraid it won't take long. Even if the lord wants to eat this flying shrimp, it's still a bit difficult."

Hearing this, Cao Cao's face was not happy, he closed his eyes, "If...if it is another state..."

Will there be no more plagues of locusts in that world?

It's just that he knows it's impossible.

Let's not talk about whether other states can do it, how can they believe in themselves based on these two or three words?

Unless someone with authority endorses them.

Cao Cao felt depressed and extremely helpless.

He knew in his heart that no one else could be blamed for this. Now that the chaos has emerged, who has the courage to spend such time and energy on building water conservancy?

What he didn't know was that in the Qingzhou Governor's Department, which bordered Yanzhou, a man made this suggestion to Shangfeng, but was dismissed because Qingzhou was busy preparing for the war and had no time to do so.

He heaved a long sigh, saw the two brothers waiting at the door after leaving the tent, met their concerned eyes, he had to smile wryly and shook his head, motioning to go back and talk.

While walking back to the foothold, the man looked up at the scorching sun in the sky.

The sun was shining brightly, making him want to cry.

At this moment, he had doubts about his choice and thought of leaving.

At the same time, a man in ragged clothes was protecting the bamboo slips in his arms, his lips were chapped and bleeding, his cheeks were sunken, and his whip had long since been lost, so he could only slap the horse's buttocks with his palms, urging the staggering horses to drive towards Yuzhou. go.

In the autumn of [-] A.D., at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the situation rose suddenly.

The author has something to say: It’s true that locusts are called flying shrimp...

There must be parasites, so don't eat it raw!Basically, parasites on land cannot withstand high temperatures.I think it's delicious, just the taste of ordinary meat. If you don't know it, you won't think it's bad to eat, and it's an ordinary high-protein food... (Actually, insects are generally more dense than meat. It is easy to be digested and pinched) It is also very friendly to the body... If you have to say it, it is probably a low-cholesterol version of eggs? (thinking face)
