Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 83

Chatting and chatting, seeing that the breakfast time has passed, a group of officials also left one after another.Regarding the topic of how to deal with the locusts, it is natural to save the time to continue the discussion. Today, there must be a conclusion, and then it will be implemented immediately.

"Really..." Wang Yong actually wanted to complain, so why not let someone eat the locusts?In later generations, this thing is directly a delicacy in many places.

However, sensible people know that it is impossible to rely on a few foodies to finish the locust plague that has already taken shape.It takes a long time to cultivate this market, and even top foodies cannot eat it every day.Many people just taste it, and not everyone is Dianwei...

"Shopkeeper, do you know the solution?" Liu Li asked coldly.

"Why do you think that?" Wang Yong was taken aback, then asked curiously.

"Just now everyone was contemplating, but you seemed to understand clearly." Liu Li looked at Wang Yong suspiciously.

"I know some ways to deal with it, but I don't practice it, so I can't count it. Besides, I'm a cook, and I don't plan to do that kind of counselor thing." Wang Yong shrugged and continued to work.

The officials were indeed gone, but many diners came over one after another.As a result of the earlier program, the prices of corn and sorghum have fallen, and many people can buy some.Especially those aristocratic families, who have accumulated a lot of money, thinking that they can raise the price, but who knows that it can't be raised, so they simply exchange it for something delicious.

Currently only relying on Wang Yong and Liu Li to entertain the guests, it feels a little short of manpower.As for Yang Xiu, after finishing this hour's work, he has already gone to the back kitchen to wash the dishes.In fact, according to her original statement: "Miss Ben is a genius, even if she is reduced to a helper, she shouldn't be doing this kind of handyman job!"

Wang Yong directly yelled at her: "It's a pity, I'm the chef! The yamen is short of money and can't hire so many chores. As the chef, I have to do this kind of chores. You are a helper, what qualifications do you have?" Complaining there?"

Yang Xiu was immediately furious, but he obediently went to the back kitchen to wash the dishes.

"I'm back!" An hour later, Guo Jia came back again and went back to the second floor to change clothes and prepare to help.

"It's just right, I'll help you cut the mutton later!" Wang Yong responded in the back kitchen, "By the way, how did the discussion go?"

"My lord intends to pay someone to help with the expulsion, although this will cause financial problems again. But compared to finances, food is the key!" Guo Jia came to Wang Yong and whispered.

After all, this is a relatively confidential matter. There are outsiders in the store, so it is naturally difficult to disclose it publicly.

"When will the preparation start?" Wang Yong asked, even if he wanted to make a suggestion, it would take a few days for the experiment.

"That is, it will start within these three days, and it is very likely the day after tomorrow!" Guo Jia looked around, and then whispered.

"In this case, it's okay..." Wang Yong nodded, then looked at Liu Li and ordered, "Help me look at the shop, I'll go to Wanshiwu, and I'll be back in about a quarter of an hour!"

"Okay!" Liu Li was cutting mutton, and he responded.

The best place for mutton has been reserved by Wang Yong, and he will eat it directly in hot pot tonight.Depending on the situation, during the afternoon, I hope to earn some more.

After Wang Yong left the restaurant, he arrived at Wanshiwu in more than ten minutes, and reported Wen Ming's name, and the latter came out not long after.

"Shopkeeper, what service do you need from Wanshiwu?" Wen Ming greeted him with a business-like smile.

"There are two things that you need to worry about! Of course, how much should the reward be!" Wang Yong was a little polite first, and then went straight to the point, "I need Wanshiwu to provide me with a catty of locusts, and send them to the restaurant. Me. Also tonight, I hope that the Master House will light a bonfire near the field outside the city, and see if it can attract locusts to fly over."

"The owner is planning to target the recent locust plague?" Wen Ming immediately understood the crux of the matter.

"If it is handled properly, the harm of the locust plague may be minimized. But if we really want to recover, we need the support of Wanshiwu's friendship." Wang Yong didn't hide anything.

"Oh, let's hear it! If the plague of locusts can be quelled, even if Wanshiwu suffers a little bit, it's nothing!" At the end of the sentence, a charming voice came out, but it was Zhang Chunhua, the head of Dongjun County, who came out.

"It's very simple. Wanshiwu prepares a large number of chickens, ducks, and geese, and then rushes to the place where the locust plague is flooded. This way, some of the locusts can be eaten. The key is that the chicken, duck, and geese can also quickly gain weight in this process. After the locust plague is over, they can be sold. Their profits are estimated to be higher than the cost of gathering them." Wang Yong suggested.

"Indeed, we are the only one who can mobilize chickens, ducks and geese on a large scale. What you said is very reasonable. I will make a report and mobilize immediately in the next two days!" Zhang Chunhua thought for a while, and finally made a decision directly.

As Wang Yong said, this is not only a good opportunity to advertise, the key is that it is really profitable, and it can even sell Cao Cao a good deal, killing three birds with one stone, there is no reason not to do it.

"But I have to report it to the lord, I don't think she likes others to make their own decisions!" Wang Yong reminded.

"Of course we know this rule. Should we also report the owner's name?" Zhang Chunhua asked.

"No need, I just want to be a cook silently." Wang Yong shook his head, it's a good thing to be in the limelight.However, all kinds of troubles often come head-on after showing off again and again.

"So, our Wanshiwu still owes the owner a favor. If you want Wanshiwu's help in the future, just ask!" Zhang Chunhua is also a good person, and he promised immediately after hearing the words.

Wang Yong smiled, there was no need to say anything at this time, just nodded and left.

"What is he planning to do with a catty of locusts?" Zhang Chunhua asked after Wang Yong left.Apparently, she had been lurking around for some time.

"It's hard to tell if it's someone else. If it's the owner, he probably intends to cook..." Wen Ming was a little undecided.

"Is that edible?" Zhang Chunhua suddenly showed a disgusted expression.

"So, if it were someone else's words, I guess I would scoff!" Wen Ming shook his head, "But if it's Shopkeeper Wang, maybe it can really turn decay into magic. It's just that it's hard to imagine how locusts are cooked. .”

First of all, it is difficult to accept visually.Whether it's boiled or fried, it looks like a locust, and it's physically unacceptable just to look at it, let alone eat it with all your heart!

But the house of all things is the house of all things, someone pays, they do things, nothing more than that.Zhang Chunhua didn't care how Wang Yong planned to cook, and directly waived the labor fee, which was not worth much anyway!

Of course Wang Yong didn't know about this. When he returned to the store, it seemed that it was almost lunch time.Simply wash your hands and get back to work.
