Originally, Princess Changle still had the heart to let her father take a look at the rice paper that Lin Ran gave her.
But now looking at his father's expression, Changle knows that today's news has made his father a little overwhelmed, and the matter of rice paper will be talked about in a few days, even Lin Ran built roads in Linjia Village, built schools, and even became the village head, Princess Changle did not leak any more news to his father.
"Father, these two potatoes were planted by the sons of Lin Gongzi for themselves, and I also asked the emperor to allow the sons to plant the potatoes themselves."
Princess Changle flashed a pair of big black and bright, beautiful eyes and spoke.
"Yes, how could my father not allow it? Changle is the great blessing star of his father. His Majesty Li Er replied with a laugh.
"Your Majesty, the citizens who buy the dish of fried locusts in the Four Seasons Restaurant are simply crowded with people, and there is an endless stream, and the ministers see that the scene is really hot, and many citizens have begun to rumor that this locust is a godsend delicacy······"
Wang Pu, the commander of the Hundred Cavalry Division, respectfully started beside His Majesty Li Er.
"Well, that's great. This is exactly the result I want, the locust plague Four Seasons Restaurant has made a great contribution, to quell the locust plague has made an indelible contribution, I will lead the civil and military officials to the Four Seasons Restaurant tomorrow to personally eat the fried locusts in public, so that the people of Chang'an City can see that I have always stood on the position of the people. ”
His Majesty Li Er was overjoyed and said excitedly.
"Your Majesty Shengming, the rumors will naturally be self-defeating, congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty ······"
Wang Pu, the commander of the Hundred Cavalry Division, immediately leaned over and congratulated.
The news that the Four Seasons Restaurant is selling fried locusts naturally can't hide from the eyes and ears of Prime Minister Fang Xuanling.
This is not the time for dinner at night, Fang Yiai conveyed the news to his father Fang Xuanling.
"Father, since noon today, their restaurant has started to sell an extremely rare ingredient, and the child thought that this was a good dish to accompany the wine, so he brought some to his father."
Fang Xuanling looked at the plate of extremely fragrant dishes on the table, and couldn't help but have a bright smile on his face.
After all, his son grew up and knew that he felt sorry for himself.
Mrs. Fang also closed her mouth happily and spoke.
"Master, then I'll have two drinks tonight."
"Okay, let's drink two glasses tonight and pour them for Jun'er, our father and son haven't spoken properly for a long time."
Fang Xuanling happily explained.
"Well, okay, let you two have a good conversation tonight."
Mrs. Fang immediately asked Yahuan to fetch the wine.
"Jun'er, what is this? How could it be so delicious, more flavorful than the pork head meat you and your mother brought to your father last time. ”
After Fang Xuanling took a bite of his stomach, he immediately asked in surprise.
This wonderful taste made him drink a lot, and while his appetite was great, the whole person was also excited.
"Madam, come and taste this delicacy, Jun'er is really filial now." Fang Xuanling greeted Mrs. Fang warmly.
"Master, it's really delicious, this taste is really unforgettable."
Mrs. Fang replied truthfully, so she also asked curiously. "Jun'er, what kind of ingredient is this, so delicious?"
"Father, mother, don't hide it, this is the locust that is now harming the crops of the people in Wannian County, which was plucked off by the ninth brother and then wrapped in eggs and flour and fried. Now the ninth brother is buying locusts on a large scale, and when the Four Seasons Restaurant began to sell, the price was five wen a plate, but seeing that the supply exceeded demand, the diners increased the price one after another, and now it has been sold to twenty wen a plate, which is still in short supply. ”
Fang Yiai replied truthfully.
"Jun'er, is this dish really delicious?"
Fang Xuanling asked tremblingly, this news is too shocking, if it is true, this year's locust plague is expected to be self-defeating, and it will easily become a meal in people's mouths.
"Father, Jun'er doesn't dare to deceive, it's indeed locusts, Chu Mo and Changsun Chong have also brought some back to the house, Father can now go to the Four Seasons Restaurant to find out, that rush to buy scene is much crazier than when our teahouse opened."
"Madam, you and Jun'er have dinner first, and the old man has to go to the Four Seasons Restaurant to see it in person, otherwise the old man will be uneasy." Fang Xuanling drank the wine in the glass deeply and spoke.
As the prime minister of the current dynasty, the responsibility on his shoulders is too great for ordinary officials to bear.
"Father, the child will come with you." Fang Yiai got up and spoke.
"It's okay, Jun'er has worked hard all day, accompany your mother at home, and go back for your father."
At the same time, the same scene was being staged in the Suguo Mansion, the Laiguo Mansion and other mansions.
"Daddy, this is the ugly cow's appetizer to honor you."
Cheng Chumo squeezed out a black rose with a big black face, and said with a smile.
"Stinky boy, that's good, I know that I brought snacks and food to Lao Tzu, it seems that Lao Tzu's stick had a certain effect last time······"
Cheng Yanjin's eyebrows fluttered happily and responded, which made Cheng Chumo feel like his hair was standing upside down.
Thinking of the last time with sticks, Cheng Chumo simply had a handful of bitter tears.
"Yes, it's fucking delicious, it's really a snack, it's really hard for you kid, I even want to bring a snack. Madame, come and taste the delicacies of this plate. ”
Cheng Yanjin called out happily.
"Ma'am, how does it taste?" Cheng Yanjin took a sip of wine and said.
"It's delicious, this taste is really delicious, it's a good dish to drink, and the ugly cow really has a heart." Sun replied happily.
"By the way, Lao Tzu has been eating for a long time, and I still don't know what this plate of Chinese food is?" Cheng Yanjin asked with a big grin.
"Daddy, mother. This is my cousin let the villagers catch the locusts, specially sent from Linjia Village to the restaurant, today the restaurant is selling crazy, at the beginning of five wen a plate, now by the diners themselves fried to twenty wen a plate. ”
Cheng Chu replied truthfully.
"What?······" Cheng Yanjin jumped up directly from the stool, his eyes widening wider than a bull's eye.
His Majesty was exhausted by the locust matter this morning, and he never thought that this thing would be such a delicious delicacy.
"Damn it, if this is really a locust, the locusts in the entire Chang'an City will not be enough for people to eat."
Cheng Yanjin laughed and said, he decided to wait for the palace to enter the palace and immediately start His Majesty, so that all the people of Chang'an City would catch locusts and eat them······
