The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 267
Lu Bu asked the soldiers to send all the locusts they caught to him.

Cloth bags were delivered one by one.

Every cloth bag is full of locusts.

Because they are alive, the locusts are still moving in the cloth bag.

"Marquis Wen, what do you need so many living locusts for?" Zhou Yu leaned over and asked very puzzled.

"Locusts eat crops, we eat them." Lu Bu grinned: "Let the soldiers build a bonfire, and tonight I will teach you how to roast locusts!"

"Eat locusts?" Zhou Yu looked surprised: "Can you eat insects too?"

"Is there anything you can't eat?" Lu Bu said, "If you want something to become extinct, the best way is to turn it into a delicacy. As long as people love to eat it, there is nothing in this world that cannot be eaten."

He then said to Zhou Yu: "Let the soldiers get some small wooden sticks, the kind that are thin enough to string the locusts without breaking them."

Zhou Yu looked puzzled and took the order to leave.

Sun Ce happened to walk over.

Seeing Zhou Yu head on, Sun Ce asked, "What is Marquis Wen doing?"

"They said they wanted to eat locusts." Zhou Yu replied, "How Marquis Wen does things is really confusing. I don't understand how locusts can be eaten."

"Eat locusts?" Sun Ce blinked twice, swallowed subconsciously, he didn't want to understand how locusts eat.

"Marquis Wen is still waiting for the soldiers to find the sticks." Zhou Yu said to Sun Ce, "I'll go first. If Bo Fu doesn't understand anything, go ask Marquis Wen."

Sun Ce didn't ask him any more, but came to Lu Bu.

"What did Bo Fu do just now?" Lu Bu looked up at him and asked.

"Go to the villagers to have a look." Sun Ce said: "The locust plague is causing trouble, and the villagers may be hungry again this year..."

"How can you be hungry?" Lu Bu smiled and said to Sun Ce: "Go and invite all the villagers here. I will treat them to a big meal tonight."

"The big meal that Marquis Wen talked about, could it be locusts?" Sun Ce asked, "How do you eat that thing?"

"When Huigong Jin gets the wooden sticks, I'll show you." Lu Bu said, "After tonight, I will make the villagers reluctant to kill the locusts. Maybe in a few days, the market price of the locusts will be even higher." A rising tide lifts all boats."

Sun Ce did not dare to agree with what Lu Bu said.

But the order was here, and he had to carry it out, so he said to Lu Bu, "I'll do it right away."

Zhou Yu was in charge of arranging for the soldiers to find the sticks, while Sun Ce was in charge of inviting the villagers to the army.

It didn't take long before Lu Bu had countless sticks piled up in front of him.

Many villagers also came to the army and sat together with the soldiers.

"A lot of locusts were caught today." Lu Bu stood up and shouted to the soldiers and villagers: "You are all confused. How can we keep food when there is a locust plague? What I want to tell you is that the locust plague is not counted Disasters, as long as we control the number of locusts, they will not be able to make any waves."

Everyone looked at Lu Bu, except for the soldiers who heard that he was going to eat locusts, Zhou Yu, and Sun Ce, no one knew what he meant.

Taking out a locust from the cloth bag, Lu Bu picked up a wooden stick and strung the locust on it.

Then he took out the second and third locusts, and they also put them on the stick.

The locusts were alive until they were put on the stick.

Due to eating a lot of crops recently, they grow fat and big.

Lu Bu put the stick covered with locusts on the fire and roasted it. While roasting, he twisted salt and sprinkled it on it.

"Marching is bitter, and there are not so many seasonings." Lu Bu said while roasting the locusts, "If there are enough ingredients, the taste will be better."

The soldiers and the villagers stood up one after another and looked at him, wanting to see exactly how he ate the locusts.

After roasting for a while, the locusts gave off a scent. Lu Bu sniffed it, and a smile appeared on his face: "It's almost roasted."

The scent filled the air, and Zhou Yu and Sun Ce who were standing beside him also glanced at each other subconsciously.

They grow so big that they have never heard that locusts can be eaten.

Lu Bu roasted the locusts. I really don't know who would be the first to taste them.

When the locusts were roasted, Lu Bu took one off the stick and threw it into his mouth.

He chewed and rattled, many soldiers and villagers watched and couldn't help swallowing.

"Try both of you too." After picking off the remaining two locusts from the stick, Lu Bu handed one to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu respectively.

The two took it, with embarrassed expressions on their faces.

It seems that Lu Bu's food is quite delicious, but it is indeed a bit embarrassing for them to eat locusts.

But Lu Bu's orders had to be obeyed, so the two had no choice but to bite the bullet and put the roasted locusts into their mouths.

The locusts were stuffed into their mouths, and they chewed hard. The expressions on the faces of the two quickly changed from confusion at first to surprise, and then to surprise.

After eating the locusts, Zhou Yu said to Lu Bu, "What Wen Hou said is true, the taste of locusts is really good."

"Who else wants to try?" Lu Bu asked the soldiers and villagers present.

Even Zhou Yu said it was delicious, and the soldiers shouted: "I! I! I!"

"This time, only three people can taste it, and then you have to roast it yourself." Lu Bu smiled lightly, and skewered three more locusts on wooden sticks.

When it was cooked, he handed the stick to a soldier who came forward.

The soldier took the stick, first took a locust, and then handed it to the other two.

The soldier who tasted the locusts had an intoxicated expression on his face, which made the others salivate.

Roasted locusts, and there is only salt and no other condiments.

If it was placed after 2000, if the barbecue stall dared to cook like this, it would definitely be scolded to death by customers.

However, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, people mostly cooked their meals, and the taste was extremely poor.

The taste of baked things is better than that of cooking, not to mention that there is salt to enhance the taste.

For the third time, Lu Bu skewered the locusts and roasted them on the fire.

While roasting, he told the soldiers what to pay attention to when roasting locusts.

All the soldiers and villagers present were listening carefully.

After the roasting, Lu Bu waved his hands: "Just do your own work. I caught so many locusts today, I have to eat them up."

The soldiers and villagers dispersed one after another, following Lu Bu's example, they skewered the locusts on wooden sticks and roasted them.

Lu Bu asked Sun Ce and Zhou Yu to sit down beside him.

After the two sat down, Lu Bu asked, "How is the taste of roasted locusts?"

"It's a delicacy in the world. I didn't believe it when Marquis Wen first said it." Zhou Yu replied, "In this way, when there is a locust plague, the villagers can catch locusts and eat them."

"If there is a plague of locusts, the villagers will be able to raise them in vain and fat." Lu Bu said: "Food can be planted again, but locusts are not found every year. After tonight, it will be difficult to cause a plague of locusts in the future." !"
