"Why don't you believe me? Don't believe you, turn to the last page! ”

Xu Ding knew what Cao Cao and Lu Bu were thinking, so he reminded the two to continue flipping through the booklet.

The two of them opened it at the same time, and saw that the last page had eight eye-catching characters written on it: "Fifty Ways to Eat Locusts"!

Fifty ways to eat locusts?

Can you really eat it?

There are also fifty more patterns!

Are you eating locusts or locust feasts?

The two of them didn't say anything, but read carefully.

The first method is called "Eighteen monsters, three locusts and one dish".

Collect the adult locusts, first blanch them with boiling water, remove the wings and useless limbs, slowly roast them in a pot, and roast them until the water is dry and browned, add sesame oil and pepper seasonings, and the yellow locusts can reveal an attractive aroma from the inside out.

When you bite into it, there is a fragrance of grass valley.

Or the locusts are dried, and when "friends come from afar", fry a plate and get two taels of wine, which is a good treat for guests.

Silk!

Seeing this dish, Cao Cao and Lu Bu seemed to smell the fragrance with the scriptures, and their minds were filled with the delicacy of biting the golden locust.

Xu Ding didn't speak, quietly waiting for people to continue to look out.

Soon Cao Cao and Lu Bu saw the following - "fried locusts", "baked locusts", "roasted locusts" and so on, until the last "flying locust feast".

Each one is ingenious, and it's easy to make and learn.

After reading it, the hearts of the two were unhappy for a long time.

Locusts!

How can the punishment of heaven on earth be eaten.

Locusts are the devils of hell, and they can be fried and roasted.

It's unheard of, it's horrible, it's discolored, it's ...... It should be fragrant!

"Berkang, are you all researching?" Cao Cao couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, but he still hesitated.

The punishment from heaven can be resolved in this way.

Xu Ding said: "Of course, if you don't believe it, then we will send someone to catch some now, we will fry the locusts and roast the locusts on the spot, and you will know after eating them." ”

Lu Bu and Cao Cao did not refuse this proposal, and the two sent people to follow Xu Ding's people to catch locusts.

Soon they were back with a net of ten sacks.

According to the operation method explained in the booklet given by Xu Ding, first scald the locusts with boiling water, then remove the inedible parts, put them in a pan of oil, or roast them.

Soon the smell of incense filled the surroundings.

The golden oil grasshopper was delivered to the people's table.

Xu Ding picked up a fried golden grasshopper and threw it into his mouth, and took a few bites, it was crispy and sound, fragrant on the outside and tender on the inside.

The rich egg whites are stirred between the teeth with a golden, crispy crust.

Seeing that Xu Ding was eating with relish, Cao Cao and Lu Bu both swallowed Hou.

It can really be eaten, looking at Xu Ding's expression, it is quite delicious.

Lu Bu was the first to catch two and throw them into his mouth, took two bites, his eyes suddenly lit up, his expression was happy, and then he grabbed a handful and threw them into his mouth, chewing them heavily, and the clicking sound did not stop.

Then pour a bowl of wine, tilt your head and dry it with an expression of enjoyment.

Cao Cao also took a deep breath, lifted an open mouth and bit halfway.

Sure enough, the next moment, his eyes lit up, and he put the other half into his mouth and swallowed it in three or two clicks.

Wei licked his lips, stroked his palms and laughed wildly: "Okay! Good! That's great! It was so delicious......"

"I'm not lying to you, is this meat similar to eating shrimp, with meat and juice, fresh and tender." Xu Ding asked with a smile.

Lu Bu and Cao Cao's expressions told him all this.

Later generations were full of praise for eating this rare fried grasshopper.

In this era of material scarcity and simple cooking, fried grasshoppers can really be said to be a rare and good product.

"It's delicious, it's still a great prince, and I can come up with such a way to exterminate locusts, I, Lu Bu, might as well do it." Lu Bu feasted, drank wine in a big bowl, and was chic, and without greeting his subordinates, who had been busy with him for a long time, he hurriedly started eating.

Cao Cao's soldiers stared at the generals who were eating, and then looked at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao sighed leisurely: "In terms of food, there is no place to compare with Donglai, not to compare to Bokang, the dishes made by the Hero Inn have always been the most outstanding in the world, I didn't expect that simple locusts can eat so many tricks in your hands, the luck of the world, the luck of the people." ”

Cao Cao's subordinates are secretly anxious, my lord, don't sigh, just say if you can eat it, if you don't do it, they were all robbed by the state army.

"Meng De, don't talk about these fake space words, hurry up and let your subordinates taste it, otherwise they will rebel." Xu Ding joked, and everyone immediately laughed.

Cao Cao then said: "Try it all, it tastes good, when I go back, I will go back and catch locusts with all my might, and give me all 50 ways to eat fried and barbecued!" ”

"It's the lord!" The soldiers of the Cao army were already drooling, so they hurriedly made a move, grabbed a handful with one hand, and then sent it to their mouths.

For a while, the crispy sound continued, and the sound of delicious and delicious food was endless.

"Okay, I've eaten and eaten, and I've given you the information that should be given, so I'll withdraw first, and everyone will work together to overcome the locust plague, and I believe we will definitely win the battle to exterminate locusts." Xu Ding saw that it was done, and Cao Cao and Lu Bu took the lead in eating the grasshopper and didn't stay longer.

He was tired of eating fried locusts for a long time, and his generals had already tasted them, so no one grabbed food from Cao Cao and Lu Bu's people.

"Wait a minute, there's one thing you haven't finished saying yet!" After Cao Cao swallowed a grasshopper, he quickly wiped his hands and chased down the earthen platform.

Xu Ding turned around and said, "What else is going on with Meng De?" ”

Cao Cao said: "Bokang, didn't you say at the beginning that locusts are nutritious, the meat is tender, and the taste is as delicious as shrimp, and the structure of the nutrients in the body is more reasonable than that of livestock and poultry, and it is a military food that can be eaten instead of meat!" ”

Xu Dingdao: "I did say it, why is there anything else Mengde doesn't understand?" ”

Cao Cao said: "We have tasted the Bokang locusts, and they are the same as what you said, but how to replace the military rations, can you elaborate on them." ”

Cao Cao believes that Xu Ding's latter sentence is the most critical.

Turning locusts into military rations is certainly not simply frying, roasting, or other 48 ways to eat them.

"Hahaha, Mengde, Mengde, sure enough, you are careful, and you actually noticed this, it is true that locusts can replace military food, but the method is very complicated and requires a lot of things, such as...... For example, there are many things that you don't have, and there are many technologies that cannot be revealed, so Meng De, if you can't eat all the locusts you caught, you can wash them, dry them and sell them to me, and then we can cooperate more! Speaking of this, Xu Ding turned on his horse, beckoned to Cao Cao, and then left with his men.

Lu Bu also heard something at this time and came over, and when he saw Xu Ding leaving, he read in his mouth: "Xu Ding still collects locusts, can this thing be exchanged for money?" ”

Cao Cao's face kept pumping, pumping.

Good Xu Bokang, you throw a smoke and pop it out, throw a bait down, and then pat your ass and leave.
