Modern people who traveled through the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 217 Selling Fried Locusts
Since the tax reduction policy released by Zhao Han last time, the people in Xingyang Village are very grateful to Zhao Han. Now that it is the autumn harvest season, Zhao Han has sent a few helpers to each household. The people in Xingyang Village are now very grateful to Zhao Han. Hanna is grateful.

Everyone found that the housekeeper posted another announcement today, and they hurriedly gathered around. The second son from last time was also among them, most of them could not read, so everyone asked the second son to read to everyone what was written in the announcement?
The second son also had no ink marks, and said: "The son-in-law said that no matter who it is, as long as it takes ten catties of locusts, it can be exchanged for a bucket of rice or ten coins at the son-in-law's place."

Everyone was stunned when they heard the announcement made by the second son, and they thought, why does the son-in-law want locusts?It's useless to ask for it, and it's still an ominous thing. Could it be that the son-in-law knows that locusts are harming the food every year, and the son-in-law couldn't bear it, so he exchanged the grain with us for the locusts?Compensation for our loss?Everyone thought this made sense, but they didn't know that Zhao Han wanted the locusts purely for eating.

After being stunned for a while, everyone ran home to get sacks, ready to go to the field to catch locusts.

All afternoon, Zhao Han and his servants stayed in the back kitchen eating fried locusts, until the whole sack of locusts was eaten by everyone, and then everyone stopped. He ran over and said to Ma Yi: "Housekeeper, there are many people outside with sacks coming to exchange food and money. Butler, how do you think about this?"

When Ma Yi heard someone bringing locusts over, his saliva dripped down unconsciously, and he said to his servants, "What should I do? Didn't I post a notice before? Follow the announcement method, and all the locusts collected will be sent to the night market." , the young master is useful tonight."

Seeing that he had made a mistake, the servant quickly explained: "No, those people left after putting down the locusts. They didn't ask for money or food. They said it was to repay the young master's kindness. Only outsiders were waiting outside to exchange food. .”

At this time, Zhao Han said: "Those who sent locusts without receiving money or food, you should write it down, and send them to them in the evening according to the exchange standard. If you agree to exchange, you can't lose your credit. Make a note of how much the family sends, and don’t make any trouble.”

"It's the young master." The servant said: "Please rest assured, the young master, the younger one has already been recorded, and the younger one will go out and continue working."

After the servants left, Zhao Han asked everyone to quickly pack up and move to the night market. Zhao Han planned to set up a stall tonight, so everyone quickly packed up.

It was dark when the night market cleared up all the things. At this time, the street lights were turned on, and the number of people in the night market gradually increased. Everyone found that the son-in-law Zhao Han was standing behind a booth. A sign reads fried locusts, "free tasting for three days after opening."

None of the people dared to try it. They all knew that it was an ominous thing, and Zhao Han didn't persuade everyone to eat it. Zhao Han knew that it would be useless to say more. Since the son-in-law dared to eat locusts, everyone admired the courage of the son-in-law.

Although Zhao Han ate the locusts, the crowd still didn't dare to eat them. At this moment, the crowd was separated by someone, and Xiao Sizi walked up to Zhao Han with his beloved rabbit doll in his arms and asked, "Brother What delicious food are you doing? Little Si is hungry, can you give Xiao Si something to eat?"

Xiao Si and the others spent an afternoon playing on the computer in Zhao Han's room, and everyone felt really hungry at night. They originally planned to ask Zhao Han to cook for them, but they didn't know that Zhao Han had gone to the night market until they asked the servants. Well, I heard people say that Zhao Han is going to set up a stall, and everyone is curious about what Zhao Han is going to sell. Originally, Li Lizhi planned to take Princess Gaoyang to the night market tonight, but now he happened to be looking for Zhao Han, so a group of people came to the night market I'm looking for Zhao Han.

Zhao Han smiled and handed the fried locust on the plate to Xiao Si. Xiao Si didn't know what it was, so he picked it up and ate it. Originally, Li Lizhi wanted to prevent Xiao Si from eating the locust. Li Lizhi was in the palace. Li also heard that the locust was an ominous thing, but he was a step too late, the little si had already stuffed the locust into his mouth.

After eating a locust, the little si said happily, "This food is delicious, brother, what is this? Little si still wants to eat it."

Zhao Han pampered Xiao Si's head and said, "This is a locust. It is fried in oil. It's delicious, right? If it tastes good, you can eat more. There are still a lot of them. Go sit and eat."

Xiao Sizi ran to sit on a small stool with the baby in his arms, and then couldn't wait to eat it. Li Lizhi saw that Xiao Sizi ate so deliciously, and thought to herself, can this food really be eaten?Suspiciously, Li Lizhi walked to the table and sat down, picked up a locust and ate it. After eating, her eyes lit up, thinking that the taste of the locust was really good, Li Lizhi immediately asked everyone to sit down and taste the locust.

The onlookers saw that the son-in-law and the princess had eaten them, and they seemed to taste pretty good. Some of the crowd walked up to Zhao Han boldly and said, "My son-in-law, I want to taste this locust."

Zhao Han picked up a plate from the table and handed it to him, and said to everyone: "If you want to taste it, come and get it yourself, but each person can only get one, and you can't take more. After all, I don't have many locusts, so you can taste them." Bar."

Which daring person took the plate in Zhao Han's hand, looked at the locusts on the plate, and found that the locusts were fried golden, thinking that they should look delicious, right?He picked up a locust and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it. After eating a locust, he felt that it tasted good, and then he ate it on his own. Even when the crowd asked him something, he didn't have time to answer them.

Everyone saw someone who was quiet and interesting, and they also went to Zhao Han to ask for locusts. Zhao Han asked them to go and get them by themselves. Zhao Han was frying locusts now and had no time to present them, so he had to let them get them by themselves.

After tasting the locusts, all the onlookers felt that the locusts were so delicious. Why didn't they find it before?Everyone regretted how they didn't know how to catch and eat before.

Xiao Si and the others saw that Zhao Han had been busy there after eating, and no one was bothering him. They took Princess Gaoyang to go shopping elsewhere. Now there are many foreigners at the night market in Xingyangzhuang, and they all came over. Selling their own items, even merchants from Luoyang City came to do business. Now the price of the stalls in the night market has risen to one tael of silver per stall, so the supply is still in short supply.

Xiao Sizi and the others bought some food at other stalls and went to see the clothes sellers. On the way, they met Fang Yi'ai and a group of people patrolling. ?”

Although Li Er betrothed Gao Yang to Fang Yiai, neither of them met, so Princess Gao Yang stood in front of Fang Yiai, and Fang Yiai didn't know who was her future wife in front of her.
