Chapter 202: A Rare Scene
Originally, for letting Li Chengqian do such a thing, Cheng Yanjin still had something to do, and wanted to rush to do it.
But was stopped by Li Shimin's sentence that there were no monarchs and ministers today, only brothers.
Cheng Yanjin was quite moved by this, and hurriedly called Cheng Chumo on the side to help.
It's just that before Li Chengqian and the others came back, this Li Fu came back with a big bag of locusts first.
And Li Fu also told that there are refugees outside the city now.
"Li Fu, you have to work hard tonight, take people to the refugees, find some thirteen to sixteen-year-old teenagers, fatherless and motherless, it is best to tell them that there is a job here that can be fed and have money, ask them if they can do it, and if they do it, you will first place them in the western suburbs manor, let them help catch locusts first, and when the number reaches a thousand, tell Ben Hou, go!" When Wang Xuan heard that there were refugees, he ordered Li Fu.
Li Fu, who got the order, didn't ask anything, and after receiving the order, he went back to work.
But also because of Wang Xuan's shot, this is destined to be not peaceful in Chang'an this night, this is originally because of the locust plague, and the victims who have appeared have made people panic, and now Wang Xuan has made such a scene, this unknown people, that is worried about it, for fear that this will anger the so-called locust god.
And the eldest grandson Wuji and others, who knew the reason for this, hurriedly rushed to Yongyangfang by car.
But there are also some people who have been looking forward to Wang Xuan's mistakes and Wang Xuan's bad luck, such as the people of the five surnames and seven families, who are already preparing to attack Wang Xuan in the court tomorrow, and also let the subordinates go out of the city overnight to prepare to agitate the people, intending to stink Wang Xuan's reputation.
But all this is in Wang Xuan's Anguo Mansion, as if no one cares.
What's even more unbelievable is that at this time, Wang Xuan is commanding the master of the Tang Dynasty and the next generation of masters, who are scalding locusts there, and are still disliked by Wang Xuan in various ways.
"I said why are you father and son so stupid, you look at the same father and son, Cheng Lao Demon and their father and son are doing better than your father and son, you say that your father and son can still catch something! Get up and let me come, really" After speaking, Wang Xuan snatched the sack in Li Shimin's hand, and then ignored the locusts that were jumping around in the sack, and put it into the boiling water with a quick movement, and kept stirring it with a stick.
Looking at Wang Xuan's neat appearance, as well as the father and son of Cheng Biting Jin who had already been completed, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian couldn't help but glance at each other with a wry smile, and then the father and son laughed there.
After all, this is the first time that their father and son have completed something together, although they have not been able to complete it, and they are still disliked by all kinds of people, but for them, it is so precious.
"I said you father and son are nervous! Hurry up, if you want to eat delicious food, come and help, now the locust's wings are picked, and then put it in cold water to wash it a few more times, the old demon is the same with you, I'll go to make some salt and pepper first, the salt and pepper in this house have not been used up before, Ruping, you also come to help, especially Ruping, after you learn, you have to teach your family, this is the new dish of our restaurant" After speaking, Wang Xuan didn't care about everyone's puzzled looks, and went directly into the kitchen.
In this way, Li Shimin, who is a generation of kings, as well as the crown prince Li Chengqian, and a prince and a prince of the country, picked the wings of locusts with a group of cooks!
I'm afraid this scene can be seen in Wang Xuan's house, and it's still the kind that no one will believe if you say it.
As for Wang Xuan, after frying the salt and pepper there, he was worried that it would be too monotonous to eat a fried locust, so he found all kinds of meat cuts in the kitchen, and then marinated all the meat.
After pickling everything that should be pickled, he cut up all kinds of vegetables, such as leeks, potatoes, and melons.
Of course, if these are done, how can there be no seafood, but there is no seafood in the kitchen, so he can only ask his subordinates to go to the ice cellar to get it.
"You're fast! Now that you've got it all done, let's skewer these meats and vegetables one by one! Ruping, you take someone to bring out the barbecue grill I asked the blacksmith to beat last time, and use charcoal to make the fire, burn it a little more vigorously, and when you finish it, you will hurry over to see how I get the ingredients, and how to deal with the locusts" After Wang Xuan put all the ingredients well, he took them out one by one, put them in front of Li Shimin, and said to them, and at the same time asked Ruping to prepare the barbecue grill.
"Xuanzi, what are you doing here!" Li Shimin pointed to the pots of ingredients and asked Wang Xuan puzzled.
"I'm not afraid that you won't be able to drink if you eat locusts alone! So I'm going to get you some barbecue to eat, don't look at it, hurry up and start skewering! Just like me, just string it like this" After speaking, Wang Xuan took the lead in stringing it first.
Although they didn't understand why this barbecue was cut into such small pieces and then skewered again, they didn't say anything when they thought that Wang Xuan had made so many delicacies before, and they skewered them in Wang Xuan's appearance.
Even when the eldest grandson Wuji and others arrived, they were all called by Wang Xuan to string them together.
At first, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui and other literati were a little resistant, but when they saw that Li Shimin was also sitting there on a small bench, they also joined in.
It's just that for Wang Xuan, the initiator of all this, there are still a few people who are dissatisfied with his approach.
But seeing that everyone was like this, they didn't say anything, just silently skewered strings there.
Waiting until this skewer is almost over, Wang Xuan took Ruping to adjust the barbecue sauce, in fact, there are a lot of skewers, do not brush the barbecue sauce, but there are some that brush or not, put it or not, those are two flavors, especially seafood, of course, there are ways to eat in various places, and Wang Xuan is the way to eat in his hometown in his previous life.
But now his method is Datang's method, soon after the grilled eggplant and grilled seafood are ready, and then all kinds of sprinklers are ready, Wang Xuan asked Ruping to ask someone to move all the seasonings and skewered ingredients to the courtyard in front of the lobby, and invite Li Shimin and them over.
After the people left, Wang Xuan got up the pot to boil the oil, and when the oil temperature was enough, he put the washed locusts directly into it, and with a stinging sound, the unique fragrance of fried locusts floated out of the oil pot.
"Auxiliary, you smell what it smells like, it's so fragrant!" After Li Shimin, who hadn't gone far, smelled the fragrance, he asked the eldest grandson Wuji, who was accompanying him.
"Your Majesty, this smell is really fragrant, but the minister doesn't know what it is" After hearing this, Eldest Sun Wuji also sniffed hard, and he also felt that it was very fragrant, but he didn't know what kind of fragrance it was.
"Your Majesty, it seems that An Guohou really didn't lie to us, this locust can really eat! Anyway, no matter what others say, just rush this fragrance, this locust is ready for me" Cheng Biting Jin saw that the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't answer, thinking of the locusts they had made before, he was like Li Shimin said.
