Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 223
Sima Xin and Wu Rui also knew the urgency of this matter, once a plague of locusts occurred, the consequences would be disastrous.Therefore, the two of them didn't think there was anything wrong with Fusu's decisiveness.

Fu Su counted the time, if he hadn't noticed this, he might see locusts gnawing on the crops in a few days.

This matter was left to Sima Xin and Wu Rui to deal with, and Fu Su knew in his heart that it was almost done.

In the next few days, Fusu taught the method of weaving bamboo cages to the bamboo strip craftsmen gathered in Jiujiang County. Sima Xin was also in the midst of emergency preparations, and ordered people to go to the county government offices to announce the order to collect Live poultry.

Seeing the increasing number of locusts in the field, although Fusu's face remained unchanged, he was already burning with anxiety.

Although the locust plague has not yet formed, it is only because these locusts still have food to satisfy their hunger, but as time goes by, it will inevitably be unsustainable. By then, it will be a truly terrible time.

Once the locusts are gone, no grass will grow.

Fu Su's eyes narrowed slightly, Sima Xin could not come back in a few days, but if there were any changes, it might be too late for Sima Xin to come back!

Suddenly, a light flashed in Fusu's mind.

If the locusts and poultry can be eaten, so can this man!It seems that in later generations, this is still a rare delicacy. Among restaurants, such a dish is not cheap.

With this in mind, Fusu immediately drove to Zui Taoju.

Zui Taoju is one of the best taverns in Shouchun City. If this dish can gain a foothold in Zui Taoju, then there will be an endless stream of people who will regard locusts as a delicacy.

Fu Su went straight into Zui Taoju, found a place to sit down, and after a while, a familiar figure came into Fu Su's eyes.

"Brother Qitong!" Fusu was quite surprised, looking at the young master's life's attire, said: "I never thought that you are really a chess boy from Zui Taoju."

"Which one lied to you?" A smile appeared on the boy's face, and he said, "Master, come here today to drink? Or play chess?"

Fu Su shook his head and said, "Neither of them."

"Little brother, let me ask you, what delicacies do you have in this shop?"

Qitong said: "Master, are you going to test our Zui Taoju?"

Qitong showed a confident smile on his face, and said: "Zui Tao Ju is located in Shouchun, and Shouchun is not as good as Xianyang, Linzi, Anyi and other world-famous cities, but this Zui Tao Ju is in the middle, and there are all kinds of delicacies that you want to eat. What, even if you say it, a small shop can do it."

"It's quite courageous!" Fusu saw that the chess boy was quite confident, and he was quite appreciative in his heart.

Speaking of which, Shouchun used to be the capital of Chu State, and this Shouchun is not much worse than capitals like Xianyang, Linzi, and Anyi.

Merchants from the Central Plains also come to Shouchun to do business, so Shouchun is also quite prosperous.But Zui Taoju lives in Shouchun, and celebrities, wealthy merchants and wealthy businessmen from all over the world come here one after another. This Zuitaoju is indeed qualified to boast such a seaport.

If not, in this Shouchun City, Zui Taoju would not occupy the chief position.

Fu Su said: "Since the younger brother said so, I will not be polite."

"The dish I'm going to try today is locusts, can Zui Taoju make it?"

Fusu's words made Qi Tong hesitate, Qi Tong said: "Can this locust be eaten?"

Fu Su laughed, and said: "Looking at the appearance of the little brother, Zui Taoju can't cook this dish. But it's okay, can I borrow the kitchen?"

"Young master is for his own use. I also want to see you cook with locusts."

"Little brother can call the shots?"

"Yes, don't worry, my lord." Suddenly, Qi Tong seemed to realize something, and said: "My lord, there are no locusts in the drunken peach."

"I've brought it." Fusu had expected this situation.

"It seems that the young master came prepared."

Fusu smiled lightly, didn't say much, just followed Qitong to the kitchen of Zui Taoju.

Looking at the kitchen utensils in the kitchen, Fusu felt a little helpless in his heart.

Although Fusu had already made the iron pot when he was in Xianyang, even in Xianyang, only a small number of people could use the iron pot.

At this time, most of the people's cooking methods were steaming, but Fusu didn't care about it.

The left and right are just one dish, and these kitchen utensils can barely handle it.

Fusu ordered the waiter behind him to fetch a bag of locusts, immediately threw them into the water, and drowned them all.Then I saw a crock pot of table salt, which was prepared into salt water, and the locusts were dipped into the salt water and washed before being fished out.

Fusu picked out a piece of mutton oil from the earthen jar, put it into a vessel, and licked the fire under the vessel. When the mutton oil melted, Fusu threw the locusts into the oil to fry.

Seeing the locusts gradually changing color, and predicting that the heat was about the same, Fusu immediately fished them out and put them on a plate.

Looking at some scorched locusts on the plate, Fusu randomly picked one out and put it in his mouth.The crispy taste of locusts bursts in the mouth, it is indeed delicious in the world.

Fusu has never tried frying in sheep oil before, but this time, Fusu felt that it had a special flavor.

"Little brother, do you want to try it?"

Qitong was a little hesitant, watching Fusu process the locusts to make them delicious on the plate, it didn't take even a quarter of an hour, but in Qitong's heart, he was also a little curious.

While hesitating, Qi Tong picked a locust into his mouth, chewed it slightly, and then his face burst into a smile, saying: "I didn't expect you to have such a skill."

Fusu laughed and said: "The grasshoppers eat the grass seedlings, they are the purest things in the world, with a little treatment, they have their own flavor."

"How does this dish go with the drunken peach wine from your shop?"

"Perfect match!"

Seeing the smile on Qitong's face, Fusu returned to his seat with a plate of locusts, poured a bottle of drunk peach wine, and ate the locusts.

Immediately he smiled and said: "What my little brother said is not bad, it is indeed a perfect match."

Qitong also tried Fusu's method, and couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, Fusu asked: "Where is the manager of your store? I want to discuss something with him."

Qi Tong said: "If you need anything, just ask me, I can make the decision."

Hearing this, Fusu said: "This morning, I saw a swarm of locusts outside, so I made this delicacy. I want to use your store to make this dish known to the world. In this way..."

"In this way, Zui Taoju can benefit, and the people can also avoid the suffering of locust plagues." Qitong continued following Fusu's words.

"The one who knows me is the little brother!" Fusu laughed and said, "I wonder if the little brother can agree on behalf of the shop owner?"

Qitong said with a smile: "This is something that benefits the people, and it has benefits. The shopkeeper will not refuse."

"But what's the name of this dish?"

Hearing this, Fu Su thought for a while, and said, "Drunken Peach House is home to famous people from all over the world, but most of them hope to be used by Director Jun. How about this dish called Flying Locust Tengda?"

"Flying locusts thrive?" Looking at the words written by Fusu, Qi Tong savored them a little bit, and thought they were amazing!
