The order for the acquisition of locusts issued by the Tang Emperor came out.

The people in the Taiji Imperial Capital were close to the water tower and got the moon first, and caught the locusts that flew into the Taiji Imperial Capital.

The tentative delivery to the store under the [Wuji Gate] was exchanged for vouchers, although they were only small receipts of one or two cents, but they aroused the motivation of the people to catch locusts.

So much so that for a period of time, the people of the imperial capital carried a small cloth bag around their waists when they went out, and from time to time they would bend down to pick up a locust and stuff it into the bag.

Compared to the overwhelming swarms of locusts in the wilderness outside the city.

Maybe it's because in the Li Clan's temple, there is the existence of the "Purple Qi Donglai Sacred Cow Stone", which is the [source of the arcane fire].

The concentration of [Arcane Particles] in the Taiji Imperial Capital is not low, and it is also an area that low-level locusts try to avoid, so the number of locusts in the city is not large.

However, even if it is not as rare as Zhongnan Mountain, there are still locust swarms that strayed into the city when they flew, enough for the people in the city to pick up when they passed by.

When I have saved up enough bags, when I pass by the [Wujimen] store, I will go in and exchange it for a small ticket, and I can always pick up a few dimes at the end of the day.

Nowadays, most of the people who can stay in the city during their working hours are already hired workers in the workshops under the [Wuji Gate], and those who are busy with work do not have time to go out of the city to hunt locusts.

However, people with high salaries and good treatment don't care about the temporary small profits brought by locust catching, and they just pick up and play on the way to and from work with a small sack.

As soon as I started work on this day, I heard the notice of the team leader and team leader in their respective working groups.

It is said that the [Ding Qi Gate] was allowed by Emperor Wuji to hold a celebration meeting for the first batch of disciples of [Ding Qi Gate] in Sixiang District.

By the way, the first "Tianji Flying Shrimp Food Festival" was held to reward the people of the imperial capital and tell them that they might as well take their families to go shopping after work.

This aroused the interest of the people of the imperial capital, and after work, they made an appointment with three or five friends or brought their families, and took a few stops of the bus to Sixiang District to join in the fun.

After such a period of cultivation, the reputation of [Ding Lingmen] has a broad support and mass base among the people.

But I haven't heard of this "sky chicken, flying shrimp" yet.

can taste it for free, with the Chinese people's love to join in the fun, easy to take advantage of the temperament, what else can not go?

However, when I arrived at the scene of the "Food Festival", I saw a large number of disciples of [Ding Lingmen] pouring buckets of bright clear oil into a white iron trough two feet deep, three feet wide, and one zhang long, smooth as a mirror, and then set it on a long row of burning charcoal stoves and began to boil.

In ancient times, oil was a good thing, and ordinary people could not eat a few drops of oil a year.

And most of them are meat oil made from the fat left over when the animals are slaughtered.

Fats that are refined from horned animals are called "fats", while those that are refined from hornless animals are called "paste", which is usually "fat and hard cream".

For example, tallow, mutton fat, deer fat, etc. are all lumpy, while pig paste and dog paste are viscous porridge.

Ordinary people must not be able to afford to eat "fat", let alone beef fat, deer fat, and even common mutton fat.

Therefore, you can only eat some stinky pig paste and dog paste, and when you cook it, you can smear a few drops in the crockpot and see a little oil star, which is already considered beautiful.

There are also vegetable oils, such as almond oil and sesame oil, but they are not affordable for ordinary people.

The main reason is that no one is willing to use the best fields to plant these crops that can be squeezed for oil on a large scale, and there is not enough food to eat, who will plant those things that do not fill their stomachs.

Therefore, in this era when you can't see the oil star all the year round, seeing the extravagant behavior of the disciples of [Ding Lingmen] pouring buckets of clear oil into the white iron trough and boiling them to prepare for cooking, the people who came to participate in this "Tianji Flying Shrimp Food Festival" were amazed.

There is no longer any doubt about whether the "sky chicken and flying shrimp" that I have never heard of are delicious...... How can it be bad to take so much fried stuff? Even fried is fragrant!

But when they gathered in front of a mouthful of oil troughs, greedily smelling the smell of oil smoke coming out after the oil was boiled, the greedy people saw the lotus workers of [Ding Lingmen] carrying out a basket of locusts, "Ah~" When the fried oil stars were splashed everywhere, their faces were green!

Some people even couldn't help but cry out in distress, cursing in unison for those tyrannical things!

What a good oil! You have been polluted by these poisonous insects in vain! No matter how rich you are, you can't do good things for nothing?

We don't need this oil, we can just take a sip! If you do this, you will be damned...... Eh? [Ding Yimen] seems to be under the throne of Emperor Wuji, no wonder he is not afraid of heaven's curse.

But the people are shouting and shouting, the disciples of [Ding Lingmen] are busy at this time, how can they take care of them?

The locusts that were drowned, soaked, washed and drained overnight in thick salt water were poured into boiling oil tanks in baskets.

After the whole body was fried in the high-temperature boiling oil, it was scooped up by the large bamboo fence one by one, poured into a bamboo dustpan the size of a round tabletop and drained the oil, and then the bamboo basket was carried to the stall again and carried to the stall for sale.

But the people looked at the piles of fried locusts that were fried and crispy, but they had all the claws and dared to eat, and they all stood far away and did not dare to approach.

I could only look at the handsome workers who set up stalls, and kept grabbing fried locusts one by one and stuffing them into my mouth to chew the Gaba crispy, and eating them one by one opened their eyebrows and smiled fragrantly.

As more and more oil troughs were boiled, a large number of fried locusts were fried, and the smell of crispy oil permeated the whole city, not to mention the bear children of the common people, and even the stupid daughter-in-law who brought it was especially hungry and cried!

But although the disciples of [Ding Lingmen] said that they were setting up stalls, they neither shouted nor persuaded the onlookers to buy them.

Just like that, the old god was standing behind the stall, stuffing it into his mouth like a hungry ghost, and his mouth was full of oil, and he was about to die of hunger!

Finally, the first man who dared to eat crabs couldn't help but jump out, pointed to the fried locusts on the stall and asked cautiously: "Do you say you can taste it without money?"

"Taste! Taste! It's not delicious, and you don't need money!"

"Gaba crispy, chicken flavor, six times more protein than beef!"

"The one that jumps on the ground is called 'Sky Chicken', and the one that flies in the sky is called 'Flying Shrimp'!"

"These are all good babies who are thirsty for drinking dew and hungry for green plants, and they absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and they can also replenish the body after eating!"

The disciple of [Ding Lingmen] was enthusiastic, and grabbed a handful with a smile and stuffed it into the hand of this man who dared to try: "One race ginseng, two race elixir, three and five eat the belly, and you are happy to race the immortals!"
