Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 224 Sales at Drunken Peach House
Fusu returned to his seat, and a plate of newly fried locusts was placed in front of Fusu. Fusu had a smile on his face. What he chose was the easiest way among locusts. The chef of Zui Taoju has already learned it.

Fusu picked up the wine bottle and listened attentively.

Zui Taoju is the place where the news of Shouchun City gathers, and Fusu also intends to understand the public opinion effects brought about by his various actions in Jiujiang County.

If there are deficiencies or mistakes, they can be corrected in time.

"Have you heard? There is news from the Sheriff's Mansion that the locusts are going to be exterminated."

Just because of the word "locust", the person who spoke immediately attracted the attention of others.However, some people didn't believe it, and said: "Aren't you a fool?"

Seeing someone questioning, he immediately stood up and argued: "Don't believe me, I heard this news from the third uncle who lives next to my uncle's house."

"I also heard that Mr. Fusu himself gave the order to exterminate the locusts."

"Everyone in this Shouchun City may not know that there are already a lot of locusts outside this Shouchun City. I am afraid that it will become a plague of locusts in a few days!"

A businessman next to him immediately echoed, "That's true. I came from Linzi, and when I arrived outside Shouchun City, there were indeed locusts all over the sky. If we don't stop it, after seven or eight days, the outside of Shouchun City will be bare."

"Mr. Fusu is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness. He has compassion on the common people. That's why he ordered the extermination of locusts. This is for the sake of the common people."

One person snorted coldly and said: "Locusts are things that descended from the sky, how can they be killed? Aren't they afraid of offending the sky and bringing disasters?"

"Where is he thinking about me Chu people? He is clearly trying to harm Chu people."

"Young Master Fusu has Qin people's blood flowing through his body. When disaster strikes, he pats his ass and leaves."

"What did you say?" The person who spoke first immediately jumped up.

"Mr. Fusu is the one who ran away? If Mr. Fusu hadn't asked for the rain before, how could you sit here safely?"

"Let's say Mr. Fusu is the son of our Princess Chu, how could he harm us Chu people?"

"Your Excellency has slandered Mr. Fusu, and today I must give an explanation." After finishing speaking, he glared at the person who had spoken rudely just now.

His words drew everyone's approval, and they all looked at that person with a bit of unkind expression.

That man is a branch of the Mi surname in Chu State, called Mi Liu, and he was once a powerful figure in Jiujiang County, but during this time he can only behave with his tail between his legs, especially his father and brother, who admonished him in every possible way, even They didn't let him out because they were afraid that he would cause some trouble and affect their own family.

Today, I sneaked out while my family was not paying attention, but I didn't expect it, and said a few complaints, which attracted the hostility of many people, which made Mi Liu feel even more resentful.

In Miliu's mind, Fusu is certainly the son of Daqin and the envoy who came to Jiujiang County this time. Jingshan, who wanted to resist, was directly sentenced to death by the government.

In Mi Liu's view, this is really unimaginable!

Mi Liu insisted: "The rain the day before yesterday was just a coincidence."

The person who spoke first left his seat and stood directly in front of Mi Liu, and Mi Liu felt a huge momentum coming towards him.

"What are you talking about?" the man shouted, holding Mi Liu's body.

Seeing Mi Liu's panicked expression, the man grinned ferociously, his eyes filled with contempt: "Trash!"

Such a scene made everyone laugh, and Mi Liu blushed.

At this time, most people admire a great husband rather than a powerless scholar, and Mi Liu's behavior makes many people feel contemptuous.

As for the family behind Miliu, who can drink in Zui Taoju, what fear do they have?

"What are you two doing?" The deacon of Zui Taoju saw the opportunity and came over to smooth things over.

"Everyone who comes to Zui Peach House is doing the elegant things of drinking and playing chess. In Zui Peach House, you must never do anything."

The deacon smiled and said: "Guest officers, Zui Taoju has a new dish today, do you want to try it?"

The deacon clapped his hands, and immediately a waiter came up with a plate of locusts.

Seeing that the items on the plate looked a little strange, someone immediately asked: "Deacon, what is on this plate?"

"This dish is called Flying Locust Tengda, and it was made by the shop according to Mr. Fusu's instructions. As for the ingredients used in this dish, it is locusts, so this dish got its name."

"Who wants to come up and try?"

As soon as the deacon's words fell, there was an uproar among the crowd.

"The locusts came from the sky, how can Zui Taoju regard them as food?" Mi Liu looked quite excited when he heard this.

The deacon gave Mi Liu a cold look and said, "Why not?"

"The dishes made by Drunken Peach's House are based on Mr. Fusu's. How can you not do it?"

"As for the locusts falling from the sky, it is even more ridiculous. God has the virtue of loving life. How can it bring this disaster and make the people of Jiujiang County suffer?"

"Mr. Fusu prayed for rain before, and the rain fell from the sky, which is enough to show that Mr. Fusu is the man of destiny. Mr. Fusu said that he can eat it, so why can't these locusts eat it?"

"Deacon, don't waste your time talking with this cowardly person!"

The person who spoke was the one who had a dispute with Mi Liu, and that person gave Mi Liu a contemptuous look, and said, "Let me try it."

Looking at the fried golden locusts on the plate, the strong man took one with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, chewing slightly.

After a while, I just opened my eyes and picked a few more and put them into my mouth.

"Can the strong man drink a glass of wine?" The deacon poured a full glass of wine and held it in front of the strong man.

The brawny man was also unceremonious, directly passed the wine bottle, and drank it all in one gulp.

The strong man wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth slightly, and the deacon asked, "How about this dish with wine?"

"nice!"

Seeing the strong man like this immediately made many people in Zui Taoju feel curious and wanted to try it.

The deacon cupped his hands at the crowd and said, "This dish is called Flying Locust Tengda, and Zui Taoju is here to wish all the famous people to be prosperous and be granted the title of Marquis."

"Thank you, Deacon, congratulations!" Such a good fortune also made many people in Zui Taoju feel quite comfortable.

Immediately, they all carried their chopsticks, wanting to try the delicacies on the plate next to the deacon.

After eating a plate of locusts, the drunken peach was in the middle, and everyone smacked their lips, obviously a little bit unsatisfied.

"Deacon, do you have any more dishes?"

The deacon chuckled and said, "Of course there are, but you all need to wait for a while. There are not many left in this locust store. I have already sent people to catch the locusts."

"Okay, I'll wait here.
