Dark green juice flowed from the corners of the mouth, and it looked terrifying.

Zhao Jiasheng swallowed locusts, and suddenly felt that his abdomen was turning over the river and the sea, but in order to stabilize the people's hearts, he had to put on a show.

"Your Majesty, spit it out quickly!"

Border City, Jing Ke, Gao Yanli and others all stepped forward, looked at Zhao Jia with a worried face, and persuaded the other party to spit out locusts.

Zhao Jia didn't listen to the advice of a few people, his throat rolled and swallowed all the locusts into his stomach, and he forcibly held back the discomfort in his heart, but a bright smile appeared on his face.

He was angry and said loudly to everyone: "This locust has a grassy taste when eaten raw, and the taste is not very delicious. ”

The white-haired clan elder hurriedly persuaded: "The locusts are unknown, and you must not eat them." ”

Everyone changed color and tried hard to advise, but Zhao Jia just smiled and still insisted on going his own way.

Locusts are a very terrible natural disaster at this time, and in later generations it is a delicacy more expensive than beef, and for future generations of Chinese, any terrible invasive alien species can eat it extinct.

This was the case with crayfish that were once rampant, and so were locusts, and when there were not enough lobsters and locusts in the wild, people even began to raise them in captivity.

It was precisely knowing the delicacy of locusts that Zhao Jia dared to ask the chef to cook locusts in public, so as to change the preconceived notion of all the people that the locust plague was a punishment from heaven.

The chef stepped forward and sharpened his knife.

Subsequently, Zhao Jia ordered the guards to go down to the field to catch locusts, and it didn't take long to catch a lot of locusts.

It's just that after the chef saw those dense locusts, he didn't know how to start.

Seeing this, Zhao Jia picked up a locust in front of everyone, first ripped off its wings, and then pinched the tail of the locust, pulling out all the locust's intestines.

This method of cleaning is quite similar to the cleaning mode of crayfish, or even simpler and faster.

"Just clean it up like this, and everyone will help!"

There are many people and great strength, even if the guards are a little timid, but the military order is like a mountain, they can only bite the bullet to clean up the internal organs of the locusts, and it will not take long to clean up the large pile of locusts.

"Braised boiled, steamed, roasted, stewed porridge all try, I want to taste how to make locusts the best."

Chef took the order and left.

This chef is worthy of being the head chef of Tianxiang Building, and his cooking skills are simply superb, and he quickly made a locust feast with nine flavors.

Originally, they also reminded the fearful border city and others that they couldn't help but swallow their saliva quietly after seeing the nine plates of locust feasts full of color and fragrance.

"Is there anyone who is enjoying this locust feast with Benjun?"

The border city took the lead and said, "The king invites you, but does the border city dare to accompany you?" ”

Jing Ke, Gao Yuanli, Qianmu County Ling and others, one is more greedy for those locusts with full color and fragrance, and the other is also willing to follow Zhao Jia, the king, to take risks, and they all choose to eat locusts with Zhao Jia.

Zhao Jia then set his eyes on those clan elders and gentry, and said with a smile: "Do you want to come and try it?" ”

The clan elders and the gentry looked at each other, but no one dared to step forward.

Zhao Jia shook his head with a smile, didn't say anything more, immediately beckoned the border city and the others, and started eating in front of the people.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

As a foodie and drunkard, Jing Ke first tasted a locust that was roasted to a golden color, and the rich fragrance suddenly made Jing Ke close his eyes intoxicated.

Soon, he opened his eyes again and hurried to taste the locusts of the rest of the practice.

The locusts of the nine methods have their own merits, and they were quickly tasted by everyone, and everyone, including Zhao Jia, was impressed by this delicacy.

Jing Ke sighed: "This is really the best food I have ever tasted, but unfortunately, there is no wine in the food at the moment." ”

Zhao Jia laughed and said: "Although a ban on alcohol has been issued now, prohibiting the government and any private brewing, there is still a lot of stock in Tianxianglou, the wine brewed in previous years, and today I will not get drunk with you!" ”

"Good!"

Jing Ke was overjoyed, and the people in the border city were also full of interest, and everyone seemed to have forgotten why they and others came here.

"Mother, it seems to be delicious."

In the crowd, a child tugged at his mother's sleeve and swallowed his saliva.

The woman hurriedly took the child in her arms and rebuked, "How can you eat locusts because they are ominous things?" ”

The child asked with a puzzled face: "Then why are these big officials eating locusts?" ”

The woman was immediately speechless.

The guards who stood in the inner circle to protect Zhao Jia had already received Zhao Jia's secret order that if anyone wanted to eat locusts, they could take them forward to taste them.

The child and the woman happened to be very close to the guard, and the conversation between the two was naturally heard by the guard.

The guard squeezed out a big smile on his face and said to the child, "Do you want to eat it, if you want to, you can invite you to eat." ”

The little boy looked at the guards in armor and holding weapons, and with a little fear on his face, he didn't dare to reply.

The woman hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, we don't eat." ”

When the guards heard this, they couldn't help but look disappointed.

There are many people like children and women, and many people look at Zhao Jia and others who are eating with relish, and they all want to try it, but when they think that what they want to eat is locusts, they don't have the courage to say anything.

In this way, Zhao Jia ate for a long time, but he didn't see any people daring to come up to eat locusts, so he couldn't help frowning slightly.

"It seems that it is not easy to break the stereotypes of the people."

The people did not taste the delicacy of locusts themselves, and it was useless for Zhao Jia to say that he was drunk with smallpox.

He did not come today to eat locusts in public, but to dispel the fear of locusts.

Eating locusts as a delicacy is the best way to do this.

Let me ask, do some people think that the animals eaten by chickens, ducks, cows and sheep are ominous signs? Apparently not!

Just when Zhao Jia was worried that no one dared to come over to eat the locusts, a young man in tattered clothes suddenly walked in.

This young man likes rangers, but he has no real skills, so he can only be a down-and-out country gangster, who can't earn living expenses every day, and often eats a hungry meal.

He looked at Zhao Jia and the others drinking and eating meat, and the appearance of the locusts was really very tempting, the young man still couldn't hold back after all, and walked over under the leadership of the guards with the thought of pulling his stomach for a few days.

"How about it, little brother wants to try it?"

Zhao Jia was overjoyed when he saw that someone dared to take the stage to enjoy the locusts, and said with a gentle face.

The young man swallowed his saliva and said, "As long as you enjoy the wine and drink, I am willing to taste these locusts!" ”

Zhao Jia laughed and said: "You are the first person who dares to taste locusts on stage, how about this gentleman reward you with a pot of wine!" ”

The young man was overjoyed, took the jug and took a few sips, first reveling in the crispness of the wine, and then daring to taste the locusts.

It's just that when he took the first bite, he was completely impressed by it.

"It's so delicious, even if you eat it, it's worth it!"

The young man yelled, his face full of excitement.
