By the time Lu Shuo sent away Yuan Wenlin's brothers and sisters, it was almost time for Shen. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The sun shone down warmly, covering the lake with a layer of silver light. The lotus flowers on the lake have long been bloomed, leaving only a few scattered lotus leaves, and the pavilion is alone.

Lu Shuo returned to his small study, sat on the lamp hanging chair by the window, stared at the remnants of the lotus on the lake, pondered carefully for a while, and then ordered Bi Tao to call Zhu Yi.

And Zhu Yi was fined a month's silver by Yuan's mother because of the fact that she caught locusts for Sister Ying in the morning.

Zhu Yi knew that he had made a mistake, but he didn't care about it.

Because she shouldn't be on duty at this time, Zhu Yi stayed in the ear room to do needlework.

The ear room is located on the east side of Lu Shuo's bedroom, divided into four rooms, and Zhu Yi lives alone because she is the eldest girl next to Lu Shuo.

As soon as Bi Tao came in, she saw Zhu Yi holding a winter coat issued by the government in her hand - a lilac-colored cotton jacket with a straight collar and a placket, and Zhu Yi was embroidering a hibiscus with entwined branches on the narrow edge of the gown.

The hibiscus embroidery was vivid, and Bi Tao was a little stunned for a while.

As soon as Zhu Yi looked up, he saw Bi Tao in a daze at the door, and couldn't help laughing: "You little girl, you don't say hello when you come in, what are you doing at the door?"

Bi Tao came back to her senses, walked to the edge of the kang and sat down, stroked the embroidery pattern with her hand, and sighed: "Sister Zhuyi, your embroidery work is really getting better and better, this hibiscus embroidery is just like the real thing." ”

Zhu Yi pursed his lips and smiled, looked at her and said, "It's just embroidering to pass the time, where can I deserve such a compliment." If you really like it, I'll embroider a square veil for you when I go back. ”

When Bi Tao heard this, she was very happy, so she nodded busily.

Zhu Yi put down the needlework in his hand, straightened the somewhat wrinkled placket, and asked with some doubts: "Bi Tao, you are not waiting in the room, what are you doing here with me?"

Bi Tao then remembered that she was here to call someone, and hurriedly said Lu Shuo's instructions.

When Zhu Yi heard that Lu Shuo had something to call him, he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly took Bi Tao out of the ear room.

It was quiet in the study, and the little girls were all sent out by Lu Shuo, only Hong Xing was standing next to the octagonal gilt Rui Beast smoke cage, and was putting plum blossom cakes inside.

As soon as Lu Shuo saw Zhu Yi coming in, his eyes lit up, he waved his hand to excuse her from being polite, and said directly: "Sister Zhu Yi doesn't need to be polite, I came to you for something important to ask you." ”

Zhu Yi was a little puzzled at first, and then after a little thought, he knew that it was related to the locust.

Zhu Yi smiled lightly, looking at it made people's hearts warm, she opened her mouth and smiled: "Brother, just ask, the slave must know everything." ”

When Lu Shuo saw her say this, he was relieved.

He heard Hongxing talk about Zhu Yi being fined Yueyin.

He stopped beating around the bush and asked directly: "Sister Zhu Yi, I heard you say that locusts can be used for food, do you remember how to do it?"

When Zhu Yi heard this, he nodded again and again, and said, "I remember the method, but I don't know who my brother is going to make for it?"

Lu Shuo didn't intend to hide it from her, so he said, "Just remember! Let's be honest with you, I made these locusts to eat, and I gave them to my father when I was preparing dinner." ”

When Zhu Yi heard that it was going to be eaten for Lu Yun, he was startled, and hurriedly said: "Brother Shuo, this can't be helped! This locust is eaten by the poor people who really can't eat it, where can it get to the masters' dinner table." ”

Lu Shuo was so excited to see her, and he also understood her panic.

After all, the dishes made by locusts are really difficult to get into the elegant hall, and even in modern times, there are not many people who actually eat them.

However, thinking of his own method of turning waste into treasure, he couldn't just give up.

He is still just a child, and a big thing like this can only be done through Lu Yun.

Therefore, getting Lu Yun to agree with these dishes is the key first step!

So Lu Shuo said sincerely: "Sister Zhu Yi, I didn't do this for a moment of freshness, but to let my father see the value in it." If my father has a way to turn these pests into ingredients and sell them, won't the people of Cangzhou be able to have an extra income and reduce their losses?"

Although Zhu Yi still felt that it was inappropriate, thinking of the situation when she was six years old when she was hit by a locust plague, she couldn't help but feel sympathy, so she nodded lightly.

Lu Shuo saw that she agreed, and he didn't delay at the moment, and directly took her to find Mother Hua and let the kitchen cook according to these methods.

By the time Yuan's mother knew about it, several dishes had already been almost done.

Fried, braised in, dry stir-fried, cold dressed, broiled.

The master chef in the kitchen is used to cooking, and when he heard Zhu Yi's methods, he not only did all of them, but also made a few more of them.

Several dishes were made with all the color, flavor and flavor, coupled with the exquisite decoration, Lu Shuo instantly felt that the style of these dishes had risen a lot.

What a bonus!

Lu Shuo suddenly felt more confident.

When Yuan's mother saw these mouth-watering dishes, although she thought it was ridiculous to use locusts as ingredients, she didn't say anything more.

So when it was time for dinner in the evening, not only did they find that the number of dishes had doubled, but many of them had never been seen before.

Lu Yun naturally recognized at a glance that those dishes were made of locusts, and immediately guessed that it was Lu Shuo's handiwork.

As soon as he sat down, he looked at Lu Shuo funny, and said with a smile: "People are little ghosts!

There was no reproach in the voice, but it was all pampering and helplessness.

Lu Yun has been an official for many years, and he has also seen people eat locusts, so he is not exclusive to these dishes.

Lu Shuo has long been accustomed to this relaxed way of getting along with Lu Yun.

He didn't answer his father's question, but encouraged, "Dad, you can taste it first and see how it tastes! ”

Lu Yun heard that he refused to speak, and he didn't care, so he took the lead in holding a piece of braised locust with chopsticks.

The chopstick-wielding girl behind Lu Shuo and Lu Shunying saw Lu Yun put down the first chopsticks, and then picked up the chopsticks and picked up the dishes according to the wishes of the two little masters.

Lu Yun took a bite and didn't comment, and then grabbed a few more chopsticks.

Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fragrant, spicy but not dry.

It tastes surprisingly good!

Lu Yun couldn't help but nodded.

Lu Shuo looked at Lu Yun's movements and eyes, and knew that he was very satisfied with these, and couldn't help but let go of his heart.

Lu Yun ate a few bites, then put down his chopsticks, looked at Lu Shuo with gentle eyes, and said softly: "Say! What are you trying to do with these?"

Lu Shuo didn't eat it anymore, looked directly into Lu Yun's eyes, and asked, "What does Daddy think of these dishes?"

"It's very good, the taste is very good, and the food is very novel. ”

Lu Yun commented.

Hearing this, not only Lu Shuo was very happy, but the flower mother standing on the side was also secretly relieved.

She is in charge of the kitchen, although it is the little master who makes these dishes today, if the master is not satisfied, she will also eat them.

Lu Shuo didn't know the Tai Chi in her heart.

He spoke again: "Do you think it is feasible to send these things to the dining tables of ordinary people and sell them in restaurants on the street?"

When Lu Yun heard this, he glanced at Lu Shuo.

Lu Shuo was a little nervous by him, and he didn't know whether he agreed or disagreed.

After a while, Lu Yun patted Lu Shuo's little shoulder with satisfaction, and said, "If you want to sell these locusts that caused the disaster, this idea is very good! If it can really succeed, it will not only increase the enthusiasm of the people to catch locusts, but also bring some income to those poor families." ”

Lu Shuo couldn't help but feel very happy when he heard Lu Yun agree with his method.

Seeing him like this, Lu Yun didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm, but in the end he continued to speak.

"It's just that," he paused slightly, "there are many hypocrites and defenders in this world, and there are powerful people who rebuke prostitutes for being lewd and lowly, but most of the prostitutes are well-dressed...... Brother Shuo, do you understand what it means to be a father?"

Lu Shuo nodded.

Lu Yun is laughing at these people with different hearts!

Seeing his reaction, Lu Yun touched his small bun, and said: "If you haven't been in contact with the outside, you don't understand the sinister nature of people's hearts in this world, just like the dishes made by these locusts, the entrance is also very delicious, but in the eyes of these people, locusts are inherently filthy and lowly things, even if they eat happily in front of people, when they hear slanderous words in front of people, they have to step on them a few times, in order to show their purity and nobility." Therefore, if you want to implement it, you need to think of a cautious way!"

Hearing this, Lu Shuo was silent.

Is this the so-called self-esteem of a scholar?

However, in Lu Shuo's cognition, he felt that the scholar doctor was a person like Su Shi and Fan Zhongyan who cherished their family and country and did not have any informality!

He shook his head inwardly.

It may be the time gap that made him idealize these scholars too much, and now when he is also in history, listening to Lu Yun's teachings, he feels that these historical figures are also flesh and blood.

Although Lu Shuo recognized the shadow side of the scholar group he admired, he didn't want to give up his idea, and he also had a way to successfully promote it in his heart.

So after he was silent for a while, he raised his head again and said, "Dad, I know your concerns, but my son has an opportunistic solution. ”

When Lu Shuo said this, he deliberately sold Guanzi.

Lu Yun has always known that Lu Shuo is good at thinking and is a successful person. Hearing him say this, I was also interested.

Lu Shuo smiled slightly and said: "Since these people like to pretend to themselves so much, we might as well conform to their wishes, make the matter of us selling locusts more powerful, and then name it the name of benevolence and righteousness for the people, so that even if there are still opponents, I am afraid that there are only a few." ”

When Lu Yun heard this, he was very relieved, and immediately felt that Lu Shuo was a manufacturable material.

And in this way, the next locust control will be more effective.

He felt that he could slowly tell Lu Shuo about current affairs in the future.

Lu Yun answered: "Not only that, but let's invite some respected people to wave the flag and cheer for us, I'm afraid that there will be more people who follow the trend, and this good deed can be done more justifiably." ”

Lu Shuo saw that Lu Yun actually agreed with his method and drew inferences from others, and couldn't help but respect this cheap dad even more.

He borrowed some modern marketing strategies from this method, and I thought that Lu Yun would express his disdain for this kind of fame-seeking behavior!

Such a reaction was unexpected.

And Lu Yun's method is obviously more suitable for this era, because Lu Shuo originally wanted to invite some people to promote it, but he thought of those high-ranking and powerful people.

Now hearing Lu Yun say this, he can't help but realize his mistake.

After all, there are still many "hard bones" in this world, they have always been proud of despising the powerful, and once they are replaced by Confucianism with high morality, there will be more people who are convinced.

The father and son worked out the method and felt satisfied. So the rest of the dinner time was spent in such a brisk atmosphere.

Early the next morning, the messenger who had gone to deliver the letter to the states returned.

And I carried the replies of various colleagues with me.

Lu Yun opened the letter and looked at it, but felt a little surprised!
