Cao County said magnificently: "As long as it is the wealth and materials that are available in the county government, as long as you can solve it, all of it will be for your use!" If it's not enough, the official will find a way again. ”

"Yes, yes, let's figure it out together, as long as we can solve the problem."

I thought to myself that this would be easy, so I stood up and said, "If the adults can really do this, I can guarantee that although the small ones cannot destroy all the locusts, they can mobilize all the people of the city to catch the locusts like gold." ”

As soon as he said this, Lord Cao and the other three were a little discouraged, and when I didn't know why, Lord Xiancheng sighed and said: "Alas, Zhan Yong, you are still young, although this locust is a major event for the whole country, it is impossible to make everyone go to catch them, we have ordered it year by year, and there are bounties, but the locusts come and go like the wind, and the crowd is like a thick cloud." I can't catch it even if I want to. ”

I laughed, "Maybe I won't be able to catch it, but if I do, I will definitely receive it." ”

"Receive? How to receive? The three asked.

"Of course, it was collected with money, as long as Lord Cao ordered the collection of locusts, one pound and one penny, one hundred catties and one hundred wen, someone would definitely send them over." I said.

The three of them thought for a while and said, "If you collect money like this, of course someone will collect it, but if we collect so much, how can we deal with it?" It can't all be put in the county government, in that case, what has become of the county government? Besides, every once in a while, it will stink. If it doesn't work, it won't work. ”

I said without hurry: "Adults just rest assured, as long as the adults order it, I can guarantee to dispose of it, but it is better to ask the adults to allocate some house for me to use as a place to store." ”

Cao Xianling thought for a while and said, "Can you really dispose of it?" ”

"No problem at all," I promised. ”

"I don't know what Song Zhutou wants to do?" Master Bai suddenly asked.

"Master Bai asked well." I laughed.

However, before I finished speaking, Master Bai was a flurry, hugged my fist and said: "Song Zhutou doesn't dare to call me that, you and I are of the same age, you can't ...... it" I was busy thinking that it was my title for his master, and at this time, there was no title for master at all, so he didn't understand why I called him master.

My brother, you're thinking too much.

I hurriedly said, "Mr. Bai is polite." He didn't explain much, but continued: "As for how to deal with it, it's actually very simple. Just one word, eat! ”

"Puff" Cao County Linghe, who had just drunk a saliva, sprayed in unison.

"You, you ......" Lord Cao was speechless for a long time.

"Zhan Yong, how can that thing be eaten, I don't know if it's poisonous or not. Moreover, even if you eat, you have to be able to eat. "The county is humane.

I smiled and said, "My lord, I won't tell you, I once had an old master, and his cooking skills were very exquisite, and he once taught me the cooking skills of fried locusts, and I can guarantee that the taste is excellent, far better than the famous dishes that you have eaten now." Moreover, I would like to tell adults that although this locust is a pest, it is a very nutritious and good thing, with a high protein content, which is very beneficial to the human body, not only delicious, but also prolongs the life of those who eat it. ”

"What's the white of the egg?" The three were puzzled.

"Hah, that's it...... It is good for the body, helps health, and prolongs life. ”

"Oh, there is such a benefit? You are not allowed to deceive the officials. ”

"My lord, if I say anything else, I don't dare to guarantee it, but I am really not afraid of this one thing alone, I absolutely dare to guarantee it." I swear.

The three of them thought about my origins and nodded.

After a while, Cao Xian Ling said again: "Is it enough to collect it just by this?" That locust is a flying thing, and it's hard to catch. ”

"My lord, just by collecting is just an attraction for everyone, it is only one of the methods, but it is also a very important one, after all, there are many people, as long as you can mobilize the enthusiasm of the whole county, then you can win the disaster. I still have three ways to solve the order to collect the locusts, and as long as these three methods can be implemented, this locust plague will definitely be solved. ”

Cao Xianling was very happy, and hurriedly said: "Which three methods, let's talk quickly." ”

I smiled and said, "As long as the adults give the order...... When I said it in a long and orderly manner, Cao Xian Ling immediately smiled and said loudly: "Everyone listens to the order." ”

I, the county and Mr. Nabai agreed immediately.

"The county ordered that the matter of curing the locust plague should be handed over to Song Zhutou with full responsibility, and no one should disobey it, but anyone who dares to stop it or violate it will be punished." Seeing that everyone nodded, he said emphatically: "I'm ugly, as long as this matter can't be done because of anyone, I will remove my official from above, and I will remove him first!" ”

This was enough to say, and everyone nodded busily.

I nodded while thinking about how to maximize my own interests through this matter.

I thought to myself, first I have to have a few houses, and then, how can I get the money to collect locusts from the county, and then I will deal with the locusts for free, blow them up and sell them, and I can make a lot of money. Is there anything else that can be expanded......

Thinking about such a thing, I can't help but want to laugh happily.

Zhengmei suddenly listened to Cao County's order: "Zhan Yong, tonight this Shangguan can not be offended, and I don't want to give gifts, fortunately, I still agree to eat, this meal is very important, you will be the chef." ”

Yes, I didn't escape the life of being a cook when I was a head catcher, which is sad.

I was reluctant, but I said with a smile: "It is an honor to do something for adults, it should be, it should be." ”

Cao Xianling's face bloomed, he patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile: "En, Zhan Yong, do a good job, as long as this disaster can be solved, I will immediately honor your official status." ”

That night, above the Lanyuan Restaurant, the best courtyard, under the white moonlight, on the dining table, Cao Xianling, Zheng Xiancheng, and Mr. Bai accompanied the three men to dine.

Because it was night, everyone did not wear official uniforms, the three men, obviously higher than the county government people, one in the middle, appearance**, a national face, not smiling, not many words, but the momentum is extraordinary, it is the person who ordered in the lobby during the day, the first person on the left is relatively thin, white face and clear beard, indifferent, followed by his seat, the first person on the right is similar to mighty, strong, broad shoulders, stout, obviously a military attache or something, and then the next is Cao County Order, the three of them are obviously a higher level.

The three of them sat in the first place, with no smile on their faces and indifferent expressions. However, after the dishes were served, the faces of the three people were still somewhat relieved.

"Cao County Ling, I didn't expect that there would be such a good delicacy in Puzhou, and the taste would be so unique." Shangguan, who was sitting in the center, said.

"Back to Lord Changshi, don't look at Puzhou on the edge of the three roads, the place is remote, but in terms of eating this item, looking at the Tang Dynasty, there are really not too many that can beat here, if Lord Changshi doesn't believe it, you can taste it slowly together, and you can know if what the lower official said is false." Cao Xianling said with some joy.

These dishes are all from the craftsmanship of my old man, I am the first to create the dish of stir-fry in Datang, it is definitely the only one for scorpion, who else is me.

The two officials, known as Changshi, smiled and didn't say much.

Then I arranged for someone to serve a dish, and when it was served, Guan Zhongmin's brother also asked, "Is it really served, is this okay?" ”

I actually muttered a little in my heart, but in the end I had the courage to say, "Come on, don't worry about anything else." ”

Guan Zhongmin nodded and went up with the plate.

I saw that Brother Qiu had nothing to do beside me, so I asked, "Are all those brothers in the yali arranged?" ”
