The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 240 Economic rise driven by locusts

Inspired by his wife, the man went out to catch a lot of locusts that day, then made a homemade burden and carried the locusts into the city.

Although the locust plague is raging, the lives of the people in Chongzhou are relatively stable. After all, the court and government provide disaster relief and maintain order. Therefore, the people still live how they should, but they look more sad than before.

The man carried his burden into the city very early, picked a good location at the entrance, and then started setting up a stall for the first time in his career.

Anyway, the crops in the fields were destroyed, and he could only knit straw sandals at home, so he wanted to come out and give it a try.

It doesn't matter if you can't sell it. Anyway, you caught the locusts and made the burden yourself, so you won't lose much money.

As time went by, more and more pedestrians began to appear on the street, presenting a scene of a bustling city.

The man also started to light a fire and add oil, pour the cleaned locusts into the pot, fry them and start selling them.

"Fried locusts! We sell crispy and delicious fried locusts!"

The man's hawking immediately attracted the attention of many passers-by.

Now, although the government has ordered to catch locusts for eating and alleviate the locust plague, men are still No. 1 in openly catching locusts and selling them.

"It's interesting that you, a rough guy, are actually selling locusts?"

"There are really people who dare to eat locusts, aren't they afraid of offending the Locust God? I don't dare to eat them..."

"Fuck the God of Locusts, I don't believe this, boss, give me half a pound!"

"That's right, Your Majesty is the destiny of heaven today. What kind of bullshit locust god is bigger than Your Majesty? We Chinese people don't know what surrender means!"

"It smells pretty good. Boss, give me some too."

……

Slowly, people started to buy the fried locusts sold by the man. After tasting the fried locusts, they were full of praise for it and asked the man how to make it.

"This is very simple to do. First, remove the locusts..."

The man has an honest and honest character, and when someone comes to ask, he doesn't hide his secrets and readily tells what he did.

Seeing the man being so frank, some people couldn't help but laugh and said: "Boss, you are so generous, aren't you afraid that others will learn from you and steal your business?"

The man smiled heartily and said: "What are you afraid of? I wish that as many people as possible would know, the better. Everyone will catch locusts to eat, so that the locust plague can be solved."

"These locusts have ruined all the crops in my field. Now they are eaten by us, which can be regarded as retaliation."

After hearing the man's words, everyone admired him, so they went to buy more to eat, and at the same time thought about going back and trying it themselves.

Not to mention selling it, it is also good to make it and eat it yourself.

A carriage came from the street. Judging from the luxury of the carriage, it was obvious that it was a trip from a wealthy family.

In the carriage, a richly dressed child stuck his head out of the window and looked curiously at the people passing by on the street.

Suddenly, a burst of aroma came, and his eyes were immediately attracted by the fragrant fried locusts being fried in the man's oil pan.

"Mom~Mother~I want to eat that!"

The child hugged the arm of a lady next to him and pointed at the man's stall and said coquettishly.

The noble lady looked over after hearing this. When she saw the simple stall and the exploding locusts, she frowned and scolded: "What's so delicious about bugs? Only common people like to eat these. Isn't there some in the house?" Is there a dedicated pastry chef making snacks for you? Don’t look at it.”

"No, no! I want to eat this, I want to eat this!"

Upon hearing this, the child immediately pouted and began to roll around on the floor of the carriage.

"You child!"

The lady had a headache on her face, but she couldn't bear to rebuke him, so she had no choice but to sigh, gently lift the curtain, and said to the housekeeper: "Go and buy some of that food for the young master." "Yes, madam."

The butler responded respectfully, then got out of the car and walked to the stall, asking the man, "How do you sell these fried locusts?"

Seeing that the butler was dressed in an extraordinary way, the man couldn't help but become more respectful in his tone, and said with some restraint: "Ten, ten cents a pound."

"Well, there's no need to look for it."

The steward put down a broken piece of silver, then picked up a bag of fried locusts wrapped in oil paper and left.

The man couldn't help but be shocked when he saw how generous he was. This piece of silver was enough to buy all the fried locusts he had here.

"Madam, I bought it."

The butler returned to the carriage with the fried locusts, then lifted a corner of the curtain and handed them in.

The young master's face was full of joy, he took the bag and started eating it directly with his hands.

"My little enemy eats slowly."

Seeing that he was so disrespectful of etiquette, the noble lady sighed and wiped the grease stains from the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.

"Mom, try it too, it's delicious!"

The young master grabbed a fried locust and stuffed it into the lady's mouth.

The lady didn't like bugs and wanted to spit them out, but the fried locusts were very crispy and delicious after entering her mouth.

"Locusts are so delicious?"

The noble lady was a little surprised. She had never tasted any delicacies in her status, but the fried locusts brought out her greed.

"My lord, my lord! I'm looking for your money!"

At this time, the man ran over panting, handed a sling of money and several bags of fried locusts to the butler, and then said with some restraint: "Sir, you gave too much. I really can't find it, so I can only use this." A few bags of fried locusts will make it worth it..."

The lady heard the man's voice, opened the curtain and looked at him, and then said: "Did you do all this?"

The man was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "It was indeed done by a villain."

"Very well, if you make more tomorrow, I want them all."

"Laifu, give him a piece of silver."

The lady nodded, took the bags of fried locusts from the man, and then lowered the curtain.

"I'll come here to pick it up tomorrow."

After the housekeeper gave the man a piece of silver, he got into the carriage and drove away.

With their status, they don't have to worry about men running away with the money.

After the carriage left, the people around were stunned.

Just fried locusts, but they are so valuable!Simply appalling!
"No! I'm going to catch locusts too!"

"Wait a minute, count me in!"

"Boss, are you accepting an apprentice? I want to learn from you!"

All the passers-by were immediately excited and excited.

The man held the silver and stood there blankly, still unable to recover.
