Chapter 124: The Emperor of Gastronomy

"What the ancestors said is good, it is precisely because we must attach importance to agriculture that we must better develop commerce, so that the taxes of the common people can be reduced, and the common people will not think of rebellion when they are full." Zhao Huan said lightly.

This truth is the first time Xiying has heard of this, as an ancient woman, she doesn't understand what Zhao Huan said, but it was her intuition that told her that what Zhao Huan said was right.

The next day, Zhao Huan feasted the ministers in the Zuixian Building as scheduled.

According to Zhao Huan's orders, the Imperial Forest Army is only under martial law, but it does not prohibit the common people from watching, this is a bitter group of Imperial Forest Army, since the last time Zhao Huan was assassinated, now every time Zhao Huan goes out of the palace, they are all afraid.

At the door of the Drunken Immortal Building, a huge oil pot was erected, and the oil pot was filled with secret rapeseed extraction oil.

When he saw that the hour was about to be around, Zhang Erke came down from upstairs and shouted: "Ignite the fire!" ”

The servant, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately threw the torch into the pyre below, and the dry wood met the flames and immediately turned into a raging fire.

After the fire was ignited, the rapeseed oil in the iron pot was heated and began to bubble out.

"Oops, it smells so good!" After the oil was heated, it immediately emitted a burst of aroma, and the people watching next to him couldn't help but take two sips one by one, with a satisfied face.

Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and the route freezes to death. At this time, many people have such thoughts in their hearts, the people of Shu are still in a state of not having enough to eat, and their group of officials are good, and they are actually eating and drinking here.

There was quite a commotion in the crowd.

"Phew!" I don't know who was angry, but I actually spat inside through the crowd.

Fortunately, the Imperial Forest Army isolated the common people far away, so it was impossible for this person's spit to spit into the oil pot.

But the mood of the people at this time is not very good.

Seeing this, Zhang Erke said to everyone: "In accordance with Your Majesty's holy decree, today Your Majesty is happy with all the people, and specially ordered the Drunken Immortal Building to hold a banquet here to entertain you, please don't worry, the delicious food will be eaten immediately." ”

"What? Do you still have our share? This is the only thought in the hearts of many ordinary people, it turns out that His Majesty the Emperor wants to be happy with the people, and now, the original dissatisfaction with the emperor is immediately gone.

In fact, the common people of the Celestial Empire are the easiest to satisfy, if you have a good point for him, he will definitely try his best to repay you ten points.

As the temperature rose, oil splashed in the oil pot, Zhang Erke picked up a huge colander next to him with one hand, and poured the small half bag of locusts directly into the oil pot with the other hand.

Oil splashes!

The people next to him looked a little stupid, the official family wanted everyone to eat fried locusts? Now everyone is frying again.

"I'll just say that this emperor won't be so kind, and invite us to eat, and have fun with the people, you see, you actually invited us to eat this thing, locusts!" One of the civilians said indignantly.

"That's it, they are eating delicacies from the mountains and seas inside, but they let us eat this kind of insect here, His Majesty the Emperor is really a good calculation." Another citizen said.

The temperature of the oil is very high, the grasshopper is small, and it won't take long to be cooked in it, Zhang Erke ignored the people discussing next to him, and fished out the fried grasshopper with a colander and put it in a tray next to him.

The guy next to him immediately sprinkled the spices that had already been prepared on top of the fried locusts, and then began to serve them in front of the many onlookers.

"Let's eat this?" Although the locust was blown up, the appearance of the locust still did not change, so everyone was still a little resistant to eating this kind of thing.

Zhao Huan appeared by the window on the top floor at this time, he was also holding a fried locust in his hand at this time, and when he saw everyone's expressions, he knew that they didn't want to eat this thing.

"Citizens, this thing is delicious, don't you want to taste it?" Zhao Huan said to the people downstairs.

No one answered him, but it was clear that they didn't want to eat at all.

Zhao Huan not only sighed secretly, but in fact, sometimes it is quite difficult for people to accept a new thing.

"I'm going to give you a demonstration to prove that this thing can be eaten and delicious." Zhao Huan paused for a moment, and then said: "But you can't eat more, because the number of locusts I prepared is not much, and it would be good for each of you to eat one." ”

Zhao Huan said, putting the locust in his hand into his mouth.

When everyone saw that Zhao Huan had really eaten the locusts, they all became hesitant.

At this time, there are always bold people, after all, the emperor has already eaten, what are they afraid of, so they endured the psychological discomfort, picked up a locust and put it in their mouths.

"Huh? Crispy and delicious, oily but not greasy, as Zhao Huan said, this fried locust is really a rare delicacy! "This is the only thought in the mind of the first person to eat locusts.

"Well, you just said you wouldn't eat it, right, then I'll eat your one for you!" The man said to the man next to him.

The person next to him was not stupid, he immediately knew that this locust must be very delicious, and when he saw that this person wanted to take away his own locust, he quickly stretched out his hand and took the locust that belonged to him and said, "When did I say I wouldn't eat it, I want to eat it!" ”

After saying that, he put it in his mouth, this locust is too small, not enough to eat it by himself, this is the only thought in everyone's mind.

Seeing that everyone had accepted this delicious locust, Zhao Huan smiled, returned to his seat, and said to the ministers: "Okay, let's start eating too, this thing is very delicious." ”

What else can the courtiers say, although there is some resistance in their hearts, but the emperor has already eaten it, can they be more hypocritical than the emperor.

But after eating, the ministers found that they were wrong, the emperor didn't force himself to eat this locust, it was really delicious that this locust was really delicious.

So, after tasting the delicacy of this locust, all the courtiers did not need Zhao Huan's persuasion, they all began to feast, in fact, this locust is not necessarily very delicious, but the first time everyone eats it, it is different from what they ate before, so psychologically it is particularly delicious.

"Report, eight hundred miles urgent, report ......" At this time, suddenly there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves from a distance, and the voice of the herald came from afar.
