Chapter 55: Do You Want to Eat Chicken?

Locust cooking guides, not just to be posted, but also to be passed on by word of mouth.

After all, there are very few literate people in this era.

This reminded Chen Zhengtai of the third uncle, the third uncle's nursery rhyme is still very useful, easy to understand, and has strong communication ability, so he made up a nursery rhyme, called "The Prince Eats Locust Song".

Eating locusts...... It is a popular entertainment activity for the people at present.

The title of adding a prince in front of it was obtained by Chen Zhengtai with three chickens, after all, in this era, the prince is one of the most influential Internet celebrities in the world, and once it is launched, it is bound to be a sensation.

Countless chickens and ducks, looking for traces of locusts everywhere, especially at night, are the most active, Chen Zhengtai asked people to drive the chickens and ducks, organized into dozens of groups, and marched in all directions, of course...... For this locust, chickens and ducks may not be of much use, but once the chickens and ducks are driven to a place with many aquatic plants, most of the locusts here lay young eggs, and the hemp duck can be called a master of egg removal in this regard, so as to block the reproduction of flying locusts.

The locust plague in Guanzhong is different from other places, and other places are ...... Flying locusts are raging, in more than ten days, can run hundreds of thousands of miles, and the locust plague in Guanzhong is often limited to the Guanzhong area, because there are huge mountain ranges on all sides, so the damage of locusts to the entire Guanzhong is extremely serious, and the good thing is that there is no need to worry about the locust plague continuing to spread.

At this time...... In an instant, those green wheat fields lost their greenness, and a year's livelihood suddenly came to naught.

Desperate people everywhere tried desperately to expel the locusts, but the locusts in the sky made people helpless.

Grain...... It's enough for the time being, but the loss of new food means that the livelihood for the coming year has been lost.

The desperate expulsion of the locust victims, ragged, unkempt, hundreds of years of war, the entire Guanzhong suffered slaughter again and again, and finally the stability of more than ten years was broken at this moment.

The sound of crying was endless, and only those scrawny children did not know the hardships of life, and excitedly chased the flying locusts and laughed.

It is said that the tooth shop in Chang'an City has been filled with countless children and women who are about to be sold, and in the face of the impending hunger, some people have begun to take precautions.

The people in this level seem to have only one thought left, to live, no matter what method is used.

After the price rose sevenfold, the Chen family tried their best to put grain, although they barely stopped the rise, but those who had a lot of grain still did not have the desire to sell grain cheaply.

And at this time...... The price of land has begun to plummet, and ordinary people cannot resist such a disaster, so they must sell their land at a low price when the price of land falls to the bottom, and only so...... in exchange for a year's worth of rations.

A great catastrophe shattered everyone's illusions about life in the coming year, and at the end of the year, a new dress was purchased for the child, and a wedding dress was prepared for the bride...... Everything has come to naught, and no one cares about what happens in the coming year.

A large number of displaced people began to realize that there might be food in Erpigou, and many ragged people, with the last trace of hope, marched towards Erpigou.

And here it is...... Chen Zhengtai finally realized...... His previous preparations, in the face of this huge disaster, are simply a drop in the bucket, and his understanding of the disaster is ...... It's still insufficient.

Princess Sui'an saw that Chen Zhengtai was worried, so she returned to the palace that day, and came back panting at noon, with the eunuch behind her, carrying a few boxes.

The chest was placed on the ground and opened, revealing all kinds of treasures.

Chen Zhengtai looked at the box: "Senior sister, what are you doing here?" ”

"This is the dowry that my mother kept for me, I brought it all, senior brother, you don't always have to worry about it."

Chen Zhengtai took a deep breath: "The Peach Blossom Lake is a thousand feet deep, and it is not as deep as my sister to send me love." ”

Of course...... At this time, jewelry is useless, prosperous antiques and troubled gold, in fact, Chen Zhengtai feels that this is wrong, because this sentence is for large families, for ordinary people, in troubled times, only food can survive.

……

Li Chengqian couldn't help but itch his hands when he looked at so many chickens and ducks.

As usual, he grabbed a fat chicken, and his saliva subconsciously flowed.

A few days ago, Erpigou was reluctant to give chickens and ducks more grain, these chickens and ducks were skinny and looked like a group of refugees, and now they are ...... Their food is everywhere, and the terrible thing is that the nutrients of the locusts are much richer than ordinary grains, the meat of the chickens and ducks is growing at a visible rate, and a group of hatched chicks and ducklings also play the spirit of the newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, following the ducks and hens, tearing and biting the carcasses of locusts.

Li Chengqian hummed happily, bloodletting, plucking, and the entourage of the eunuch specially carried a bag, which contained green onions, ginger, ginger vinegar, and Li Chengqian's favorite peppercorns, and white salt was naturally available, and the materials were prepared, so a fire was made, and the yellow mud was wrapped, and it began to burn.

The chicken in the yellow mud exudes a faint fragrance, Li Chengqian likes this feeling of waiting very much, since he can remember, there has always been a group of very 'excellent' people around him, today told him what he should do, and told him what not to do. Only roast chicken made him have a different kind of expectation.

The smell of meat begins to overflow.

Li Chengqian danced happily, and when it was cooked, he took out the chicken, but he was still in a hurry, and he didn't care about the heat, so he tore off a chicken leg first and put it in his mouth......

"Incense!"

The eunuch had already laid out a futon on the ground, so Li Chengqian sat on the futon and took a bite of tender and delicious chicken...... At the entrance, Li Chengqian felt happy.

"But...... It seems that there is more salt today, the heat is still lacking, and the meat is a little stuffy, next time ...... When the heat is carefully heated, oh, and the taste of the peppercorns is a little worse, it is because the lonely taste is heavy, well, next time you have to put more. He clutched the greasy chicken leg bones in his hand, still feeling very tasty.

It's just that...... Wait for him to look up.

only to find ...... In the distance, many people who smelled the fragrance and were in rags appeared quietly.

These people are unkempt one by one, with a little fear on their faces, they don't dare to get too close, but stop at a distance of more than ten zhang away, and then squat on the ground, a pair of eyes, don't seem to care about His Royal Highness Li Chengqian, the crown prince, full of dirt and vegetables, with numbness, only those pairs of eyes, green, looking at the chicken legs, their Adam's apple rolled, did not make any sound, only occasionally, they could feel their own inaudible saliva swallowing sound.

Li Chengqian was stunned.

More and more people gathered, and it was overwhelming.

So much so that the guards behind Li Chengqian became nervous, and they hurriedly pressed the handle of the knife on their waists.

Li Chengqian suddenly had a strange feeling.

In the past, he didn't care what people around him thought.

In his opinion, the people around him were all dressed in decent clothes, and even the most humble eunuch would never show such an expression when he was eating, because ...... These damn dog things have long been fed by the East Palace.

But the group of people in front of me, the faces with vegetables, and the eyes with desire, have an indescribable taste.

Especially some of the more courageous children, they didn't even wear pants under their heads, they were naked, and they were closer to Li Chengqian, they squatted on the ground, snorting, drooling, and their bloated bellies gurgling.

Li Chengqian ...... Not care.

He is the respect of the crown prince, and he feels that this is all right, although he feels a little strange, but in the court education since he was a child, he has put himself in the position of a person on the top.

So, he continued to nibble on the chicken leg, and when the chicken leg became a skeleton, he threw it casually.

The skeleton crossed a perfect arc in mid-air.

The crowd in the distance was a little sensational, but fortunately, many people still restrained themselves.

But the children were different, a group of ragged children, as if robbing, swarming towards the landing site of the skeleton.

The last eldest child got the skeleton, like a victorious general, he hurriedly stuffed the skeleton into his mouth, he sucked and licked desperately, and his mouth made a chirp sound, this moment...... He seems to have a light on his face, and his life has reached its peak.

And this scene...... happened to be favored by Li Chengqian.

The hand that was going to continue to tear off the chicken wings slammed down.

At this moment, Li Chengqian suddenly discovered...... It's like the world ...... It's not what I know, and the people in this world are not what I imagined.

He was silent for a moment, and then said to the eunuchs beside him, "Go and ask them, do you want to eat chicken?" ”
