Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 260 Makes the Children Cry

When I went to the place to see, hey, good guy, Zuixian Tower is currently operating on the road, occupying half of the main road in front of the door. It must be due to a strong relationship, otherwise it will be copied by him.

Celebrities from society, political and business figures have all arrived, sat around the table and drank tea there.

The one said: "Mr. Li, your silk is really good. I'll buy fifty pieces sooner rather than later."

The one said: "Mr. Zhang, when will your family's caravan go to Jingdezhen to get some good porcelain?"

Just as he was talking, he heard the yamen servant shouting at the top of his voice: "Master Zhifu is here."

The magistrate Mr. Su got out of the carriage, and Chai Lin went over to welcome Mr. Su, and everyone saluted.

Su Can greeted everyone warmly, scolding Chai Lin in his heart, the locust plague has been returned, and he invited me to have a dinner in this large crowd, that is putting me on the fire.

Chai Lin said: "Master Su and everyone are invited to come today. This restaurant has invented a new dish for everyone to try."

The dishes were served quickly, stir-fried grasshoppers with chili peppers, everyone knew grasshoppers, but this chili pepper had never been seen before, and none of them knew what it was.

Because Mr. Su has always advocated frugality, Chai Lin didn't add more vegetables. On each table, there was a fried grasshopper with chili, a fried bean with bacon, a cold cucumber, and minced meat with celery.

Chai Lin said: "Grasshopper, this is a good thing. It nourishes the kidneys and yang, and strengthens the body. Come, come, let's eat."

In fact, most people have eaten grasshoppers, but this is the first time to eat grasshoppers in high-end restaurants. There are many people watching the excitement around, and the road is surrounded.

Master Qin stepped on the prefect Su's foot, and the prefect Su said: "Master Chai is right, this is indeed a delicacy bestowed on us by the heavens, delicious on the tip of the tongue, let's eat together."

As a child of a rich family, Su Can has never played this kind of wild way, so he resisted to eat it. However, the grasshopper is not unpalatable at all, but the taste is crispy, crunchy, and spicy. Yes, the taste is wide open.

"Delicious, delicious, crunchy chicken flavor, very fragrant." Su Can praised.

Some of the invited guests are unwilling to eat, but there is no way, Su Can is watching, whoever does not eat will not give face to the magistrate, this problem is very serious, eat it.

Prefect Su's coming to eat is just a formality, he didn't come quickly, but he went back quickly.As soon as Master Su left, everyone let go to eat, and delicious soup was served.

Dian Zhengnan likes to eat grasshoppers very much, but it's okay to eat less of this thing, and it's not okay to eat too much.

Xie Bao said: "Brother, the children watching the show are all crying."

Chai Lin saw that there was a group of half-grown children in the periphery, the youngest was seven or eight years old, and the older one was in their teens, all of them smacking their mouths greedily.

Chai Lin said: "Xie Bao, Liu Tang, you two give some plates of grasshoppers to the children, and at the same time tell them that Zuixianlou buys grasshoppers in large quantities, and it only takes a few days for three pennies per catty. I won’t accept it later, if you want to make money, hurry up and catch it.”

"Okay. Let's go right away." Xie Bao and Liu Tang carried two large plates full of grasshoppers, walked while eating, and came to the pile of children outside.There are more than 100 small children.

When these children saw the grasshopper coming, they all wanted to eat it so much that they swallowed their saliva, but they didn't dare to move.

Xie Bao said, "Do you want to eat grasshoppers?"

"Think." The children said.

"If you want to eat, wait in line, and those who don't line up will not be given." Liu Tang said.

After queuing up, Xie Bao said: "Zuixianlou buys a large number of grasshoppers here. After you finish eating the grasshoppers, you can go to the field to catch them. It costs three cents a catty. The time to buy them is not long. I want to make money as soon as possible."

Liu Tangjiebao sent the grasshoppers away, and the children scattered, and the other diners left after eating.

Liu Tang asked, "Brother, can this method kill the locusts?"

"It's impossible to exterminate, but it can be controlled within an acceptable range. There are too many idlers, and once they have money to make, they will desperately catch grasshoppers."

Just as Chai Lin expected, the acquisition of grasshoppers announced at noon, before it was dark in the afternoon, nearly a hundred people came to sell grasshoppers, some of them only caught half a catty, and the selling price was only two yuan, and very few caught them. The ones that cost more than a catty sell for three pennies.Don't look at the small amount of money, but for these people who have nothing to do, this is a huge income.Today is just the beginning, and few people know about it. If the news spreads tomorrow, there will probably be grasshoppers everywhere.

A total of [-] catties was collected, and five or six guys swarmed up to pick the wings, clean them, and set up a takeaway in front of the restaurant, fried grasshoppers, ten yuan a piece, and a piece was only about half a catty.

The efficacy of grasshoppers is legendary. It is a gas station for men and a beauty salon for women.Children will be smarter after eating it, and the elderly will prolong their lives after eating it.Eighty catties of grasshoppers were sold out as soon as the lights were turned on. Except for the cost, it was a small profit, and the income was good.There are also guests who come to order fried grasshoppers.

The owner of a restaurant not far away felt very uncomfortable when he saw it, and said: "It's really deceitful, the pests walking all over the ground are actually treasures, they charge three Wen for a catty, and sell them for ten Wen and half a catty. They earn this money alone, and we will also collect it tomorrow."

"Shopkeeper, what price do we charge?" the clerk asked.

The shopkeeper said: "That's the official Chai, we can't tear it down, they accept three papers, and we also accept three papers."

There are quite a few restaurants doing this business, and for a while there are grasshopper collectors everywhere.

The next day, in the fields and even in the barren hills and mountains, there were people grabbing grasshoppers with grasshopper beaters.

Chaijiazhuang's Zuixianlou branches in various counties also began to purchase grasshoppers.

The combination of the power of capital and the power of role models becomes an infinitely powerful human sea tactic. Men, women, old and young, as young as 78, and as young as just walking, all went out to catch grasshoppers together, and even dozens of cases occurred because of going The situation of catching grasshoppers in other people's fields.

On the third floor of the Drunken Immortal Building, Zhou Fu came up and said, "Master, the grasshoppers harvested today are a bit too much. Three hundred catties, and only one hundred catties were sold. What should I do with the remaining two hundred catties?"

Chai Lin smiled and said: "Our task is to exterminate locusts, and we don't really expect to make money from it. The remaining two hundred catties will be sent to Chaijiazhuang tomorrow in a large carriage from Sihai Motors to feed the chickens. There are so many chickens in the chicken farm. I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it."

"Okay, I understand. In addition, I am arranging for the chef to do a few more tricks and make a barbecue skewer." Zhou Fu said.

"Let the chef pass on the production method, don't keep it, and teach it to everyone." Chailin arranged.

"Okay, owner."

Zhou Fu went to work. In fact, most of the farmers caught them and ate them for themselves, and only a few of them were sold in the city.

Liu Tang said: "Brother, your trick is really brilliant. When I went out just now, I saw grasshopper snacks all over the street. These grasshoppers were fried and roasted. Now there is no need to think about the plague of locusts. There is not enough to think about." What to do with food."

Chai Lin said: "Don't be careless, prepare the car, let's go back to Chaijiazhuang immediately, check how our base camp is doing, don't ignore the base camp, the locust plague is not so easy to be eaten up, the number of these things There are many."

"Good brother." Xie Zhen went down to prepare the car.

A four-wheeled carriage was prepared, and Xie Bao drove the carriage. Chai Lin, Dian Zhengnan, and Liu Tang sat in the carriage, pulled by two strong mules, and drove to Chaijiazhuang.We changed animals twice along the way, and arrived at Chaijiazhuang in just an hour.

I saw adults, children, men, women, and children in the fields, almost all of them were mobilized, and everyone was catching grasshoppers.

Due to the spring drought this year, many locusts hatched, but fortunately, timely measures were taken and they did not rise up.

But this was not enough. The locusts covered the sky and the sun together, and the seedlings were wiped out, and then famine followed.

Chai Lin said: "Brother Liu Tang, you will rest at the Chaijiazhuang Inn tonight, take a bath and change clothes, and enter the camp tomorrow. I am going to arrange the extermination of locusts. It is urgent, so I can't accompany you."

Liu Tang said: "Before I met my brother, I, Liu Tang, believed that all officials were indifferent. Now I find that I am wrong. There are still many officials who work for the common people."

"Haha, Brother Liu Tang, let's rest, and tomorrow we will also enter the camp to control the locusts." Chai Lin said.
