Datang Nongwang

Chapter 411 Golden Crisp

evening.

Two wooden barrels are filled with cicadas with broken wings.

Even if Li Chongyuan has a phobia of dense objects, there is no big movement at this time.

With the existence of bees to break through his defense line, at this time, he seems to have eliminated this phobia.

Li Yuan stood not far away, watching Li Chongyuan add water to the two cicadas, "Yuaner, what is the use of adding water? Aren't you afraid that they will all die?"

For his grand-nephew Catching Cicada, all Li Yuan could think of was to eat it.

but.

He really couldn't figure out how his grand-nephew caught so many cicadas, how to eat them, and how to eat them.

then.

When Li Yuan led his troops to fight, the cicadas also ate them.

There is basically no other way to eat it except for roasting and eating.

and.

Li Yuan still had some fresh memories of the smell of cicadas, at least he couldn't accept the smell.

but.

When he thought of the meals made by his nephew, he began to look forward to it again.

"Uncle, I got it, oh, it's cicadas, now add some water and press it with the lid, and they will shell out tomorrow. If so, they can be made and eaten." After Li Chongyuan finished, he said casually Explained a sentence.

After hearing this, Li Yuan still didn't understand why.

And Wan'er was curious after hearing what her fourth brother said, "Fourth brother, why is the cicada called cicada? Why didn't you tell me in the afternoon?"

"You heard the cicadas' cry too, isn't that just Zizizi? If you listen carefully, you can hear them screaming again. Got it, got it, got it." Li Chongyuan responded indifferently.

Li Chongyuan fell behind.

Li Yuan raised his eyelids, and then showed an understanding expression on his face.

But Wan'er lowered her head, looking at the big cicada in her hand, "Call me, let me hear if it's like what the fourth brother said, I got it, I got it."

But this girl doesn't know.

Once it gets dark, the cicadas will basically stop calling.

If you want to call, it is also when the weather is hot, and that is when they call.

but.

After dark, although the cicadas also chirp, most cicadas generally do not chirp anymore, and only occasionally a few cicadas chirp for a while.

In the middle of the night, it is basically impossible to hear the chirping of cicadas.

after all.

They are insects, and they are food for other night creatures. If they keep calling like this, they will die.

and.

When it gets dark in the evening, there is a cool breeze, and as the temperature drops, the cicadas will naturally stop singing.

The next morning.

The first thing Li Chongyuan did after he got up was to check the cicadas and get rid of the shell.

but.

After a night of soaking in the water and the pressure of the lid, the shell of the cicada is only loose, but it hasn't completely come off.

"It seems that we have to wait another day or two." Although Li Chongyuan wanted to try deep-fried cicadas, he had no chance at the moment.

For two days.

Li Chongyuan was busy with his own affairs, and checked the situation of Cicada from time to time.

Until the third day.

The cicadas that were captured back almost shed their shells.

but.

Most of them died, which made Li Chongyuan wonder whether it was because of the blisters or the stress.

noon.

The two large plates were deep-fried by Li Chongyuan and mixed with some seasonings before they were brought to the dinner table.

"Fourth brother, this is so scary, I won't eat it, I won't eat it." Wan'er looked at the cicada on the plate, it was really too ugly and hard to swallow, she repeatedly shook her head and refused.

Even if it was Li Chongyuan, he knew this plate of fried cicadas, and it was difficult to reach out his chopsticks.

Li Yuan, on the other hand, was full of interest. He picked one and threw it into his mouth, and began to chew, "Yeah! Not bad, really good. The taste is much better than I imagined. This way, it's delicious."

"Uncle, what you said is true?" Wan'er saw Li Yuan eating vigorously, her eyes began to have some doubts, and she might not be able to resist the glutton in her stomach.

Li Chongyuan, who was sitting on the side, became ruthless, picked up a few and threw them into his mouth.

"It's delicious, but it lacks a bit of flavor, yes, it lacks a bit of spiciness." After eating it, Li Chongyuan immediately felt that he had made a cicada for the first time, but it was still lacking.

Wan'er, who is hungry, knows that her uncle and her fourth brother have eaten.

He also caught one and threw it into his mouth with his eyes closed.

After chewing, Wan'er immediately opened her eyes, "Fourth brother, it's really delicious. So I knew it was so delicious, but I thought it was so bad."

"That's, which of the dishes your fourth brother and I cook is not delicious. Besides, cicadas are a great tonic. For the elderly, it is the best food." Li Chongyuan boasted .

However, Li Chongyuan's bragging won the nods of Li Yuan and Wan'er.

This can be regarded as proving that Li Chongyuan's cooking skills are the best.

And this time.

The waiter Jin who was standing by the side, listened to Li Chongyuan's words, and was really taken aback, "Little Lang, what good will this knowledge do for the elderly? Please tell me in detail, Xiao Lang."

"This, I can't explain it either. Isn't Imperial Physician Zhang here? He should be the clearest." Li Chongyuan didn't know how to explain it, so he directly threw the question of Jin's servant to Zhang Wenli.

Zhang Wenci was eating a big meal at first, but he didn't expect to have anything to do with himself.

Li Yuan looked at Zhang Wenli, Jin's maid looked at Zhang Wenli, and even Wan'er looked at Zhang Wenli.

This made Zhang Wenli stop his chopsticks, look at a few people, and then look at Li Chongyuan.

He is a doctor.

Naturally, we know the medicinal properties of cicadas.

but.

He also only knows the function of the shell of the cicada, but he doesn't know the function of the cicada.

"This...Wen Li has little talent and learning. He only knows how to eat, but he doesn't know the specific function of cicadas. But according to the medicinal properties of cicadas, it has the effect of dispelling cold and diuresis, but this knowledge itself, Wen Li has never known. "Zhang Wenli was so embarrassed by everyone's stare.

But it's okay if he doesn't say anything.

After saying that, everyone's eyes turned to Li Chongyuan again.

Seeing this, Li Chongyuan sighed helplessly.

Then, he could only start to explain based on what he knew in his previous life, "People need nutrition, and there are many kinds of nutrition, and many things, and cognition contains a lot of nutrition we need, and it can be said to be very important. I have no way of knowing what the tonic is, and I have no way of knowing, which requires all doctors to explore."

"Yuan'er, where did you learn it? Or where did you hear it?" Li Yuan couldn't understand what he heard, and he really couldn't figure out where Li Chongyuan got this statement.

Li Chongyuan was questioned, so he could only look at Zhang Wenli for help.

When it comes to medicine, Li Chongyuan really doesn't know anything about it.

I only know its general meaning, but I can't explain it clearly.

Even if you really want to talk.

Take fish as an example, I guess Li Yuan and the others don't understand, so he can only talk about nutrition.

When Zhang Wenli received Li Chongyuan's help-seeking gaze, he understood it clearly, "Master, what Xiao Langjun said is true. People need all kinds of complementary things, which is probably what Xiao Lang said about nutrition." Like a thin and weak person, what he lacks is something. Therefore, I understand what Xiao Langjun said, but I can’t explain it as thoroughly as Xiao Langjun. In addition, Wen Li is ignorant, and I want to explore After all, it is estimated that this life is hopeless.”

Okay.

With Zhang Wenli's help, Li Chongyuan's siege could be solved.

but.

Everyone stopped asking questions at this time, which made Li Zhanyuan breathe a sigh of relief.

at the same time.

Everyone started to know about the two big markets, and started to make moves.

During the banquet.

Everyone said that they should eat more cicadas, but Li Yuan threw the medicinal wine into his mouth one by one.

Eat till the end.

Wan'er even started to compete with Li Yuan for the last few.

"Yuan'er, this stuff is pretty good. This afternoon, you continue to catch some and come back. In a few days, after you finish it, I'll take it to the temple and give it to the old guy to try." Knowing the disk, he directly issued an order to Li Chongyuan.

After Li Chongyuan got the words, he quickly responded, "Yes, uncle, I will have someone arrest me in a while."

Simultaneously.

In Li Chongyuan's mind, a dish began to be served on the Yingbin Building.

Moreover, he even drew up the introduction on the menu.

in the afternoon.

Li Zhuang's little baby started to catch cicadas under the scorching sun.

And Qiao Su, who got the order, also conveyed such a notice of acquisition to all the helpers.

Immediately.

Hit this to start the next day.

Nearly half of the villages in Lizhuang, children and even adults, started to run around under this tree and under that tree with sewn tools for catching cicadas and wooden barrels.

"Old Song, do you know how many people have been arrested by your family? From what I've seen, it's estimated to be at least fifty catties, right? Manager Qiao said that it costs ten cents per catty. Your father and son work for County Uncle Li. The women and children at home are not idle, this trip, you can get five hundred Wen at least." One day, a group of workers came to Lizhuang with buckets to sell cicadas, and they happened to see Lao Song who came with buckets. .

before.

They call this cicada a cicada.

But after Qiao Su's message, and under the noise of Wan'er and the children in the village, Cicada has already been called Cicada by them.

Lao Song grinned and said, "I heard that Li County Uncle Li will be informed, so I made more."

And this time.

At the door of Li Zhuang's new warehouse, Qiao Su is leading a few servants, busy buying cicadas.

"Xiao Langjun is the same. This thing is everywhere. The more you collect, the more you get. I don't know when it will be. I will give you ten coins per catty. You are not in charge of the house, Xiao Langjun. I don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are." Qiao Su said The complaints have never stopped since Li Chongyuan put down his words.

Painful for money.

And also very distressed.

Knowing that there are so many things that no one pays attention to, when they come to Li Chongyuan, they are willing to spend ten cents a catty to buy them.

In Qiaosu's eyes, that is throwing money.

For several days in a row down.

Li Chongyuan also found a way to reduce the death of cicadas, and began to retreat a large number of cicadas.

In the warehouse, Zhang Wenli looked at a large piece of cicada shells, "Young man, you are really going to get rich with the acquisition of cicadas. You see, so many cicada shells are enough to pay back the purchase money."

"Hey, reciprocity and reciprocity." Li Chongyuan smiled.

Knowing that a catty of shells is almost a hundred Wen.

It takes hundreds of cicadas to make a pound of shell.

According to Zhang Wenli, it is definitely not possible to make a fortune.

But Zhang Wenli knew that Li Chongyuan was going to give Yingbin upstairs a cicada dish, and the price had already been set, five sticks per plate, and a plate of dozens of cicadas.

This made Zhang Wenli say that Li Chongyuan was about to get rich again.

And at this time the family.

After receiving the letter, Qi Huo, who was transported back from Li Zhuang, was reporting the situation to the old lady, "Old lady, this is what Xiao Langjun said, and I also tasted it, and I know that it is really delicious, so, According to Xiao Langjun's order, leave some for the old lady."

"Every time Yuan'er has something good, she never forgets me as a mother. I'm considered blessed, hehe." The old lady held the letter written by Li Chongyuan in her hand, and after reading it, she understood the function of cognition.

After Qi Huo heard the words, his face was filled with joy.

As long as my little lord can get the approval of the old lady, then his job as a housekeeper is not in vain.

after all.

He understood that Li Chongyuan, who was born as a concubine, would have had a miserable life if he had not been loved by the old lady, if he had been placed in another family.

the next day.

On the wooden sign outside the Yingbin Building, it says a heavy dish launched today - Golden Crisp.

The name of Golden Crisp.

Of course it came from the hand of the old lady.

However, Li Chongyuan wrote clearly in the letter.

and.

The cook of the family also made it according to Li Chongyuan's recipe.

As soon as Zhi was on the table, the old lady fell in love with it.

I also saw that fried cicadas were golden, and Li Chongyuan made a special statement, so the old lady directly gave this fried cicadas such a nice and meaningful dish name.

A golden crisp, five pennies.

This is basically not possible in Chang'an City.

Even if it is the dishes in the Changming Building, there are no such high-priced dishes.

But as soon as the name of Yingbin Building's Golden Crisp came out, the spies from Chang'an Restaurant all mobilized and began to inquire one after another.

Why?

The reason lies in the wooden sign outside the Yingbin Building.

On the wooden sign, in addition to the name of Golden Crisp, it also wrote about the benefits of eating more Golden Crisp.

For example, it has a lot of effects such as nourishing, improving yang, delaying aging and so on.

even.

There is also a sentence written on the wooden sign.

The emperor said it was good to eat.

This is not.

With this sentence, all the restaurant spies in Chang'an City, why don't they run around.

Even in the palace.

At this time, Empress Changsun was at a loss after receiving such news, "Erlang, what is Chongyuan doing? Father has been in Lizhuang for a few months, and his health is getting better. Could it be that it was caused by eating that golden crisp? "

"You think too much, according to my report, the reason why father's health is getting better is because he is in a happy mood, and Chong Yuan got some medicinal wine from somewhere, which makes father's health even better. What kind of golden crisp, I think it's just the trick of that boy Chong Yuan." Li Shimin seemed to have seen through Li Chongyuan.

but.

He didn't know.

The sentence on the wooden sign outside the Yingbin Building was not written by Li Chongyuan at his request.

It was Wan'er who secretly confessed to Qi Huo before he left.

The reason is naturally that among the cicadas that were sent to the Yingbin Building, she Wan'er bought them back.
