Chapter 430: The Power of Foodies (Three Shifts)

Well, the original price of the whole locust feast was very high.

But because of the miraculous effect that Li Su boasted, there was still an endless stream of people who came to eat the whole locust feast, and they couldn't eat it yet.

But now, the outside is full of locusts, and if you want to eat them, you can even go out and catch them yourself.

Although in terms of taste, Yizhou New Town Food City here, because of the exquisite cooking and rich materials, the taste is naturally delicious.

They cook their own food, which is definitely not as good as this food city.

But I can't stand the fact that there are many ingredients, and it's cheap.

Therefore, many people who want to eat will also let the servants cook directly.

Therefore, the price of Yizhou New Town Food City has to drop again and again.

Even so, there are far fewer locust eaters.

And now Li Su is buying locusts in an endless stream, and a large number of locusts are sent over every day.

With so many locusts, there must be no end to them.

Therefore, Li Su simply ordered someone to pickle locust pickles.

After pickling, it is absolutely no problem to store it for a year.

After the locust plague goes down, these pickled locust pickles can still be sold at a high price.

What's more, even if the price of the whole locust banquet drops again and again, in fact, Li Su will not lose money, and he can even make a small profit.

Therefore, this time the locust plague, although Li Yu took out a lot of money to buy locusts.

But in fact, Li Su still makes money.

Of course, at this stage, Li Su is still throwing money into it.

After all, he had bought too many locusts, and now he had several warehouses full of them.

And after everyone captured, the number of locusts outside is now getting smaller and smaller.

I didn't even wait for the locusts to grow.

As a result, the daily income of hundreds of people began to plummet, and countless people even complained that the number of locusts in this locust plague was too small......

Well, Li Su remembered that the invasive species crayfish with the strongest reproductive ability in later generations.

After invading many countries, they have multiplied rapidly and flooded, resulting in them having to clean up crayfish, and the effect is not very ideal.

But what about when you come to my Greater China?

Because of the delicious taste, it became a delicacy on the table, and then the crayfish was always in short supply.

So much so that the crayfish in the water are about to be caught and extinct, and they have to be raised in captivity to ensure their reproduction.

I have to say that in my Greater China, crayfish really deserves the name of the overlord of its invasive species.

In Greater China, the country of foodies, as long as it is delicious, it does not want to be flooded.

In the past, the main reason why locust plagues were able to spread was because they had not yet been developed as a delicacy.

In fact, it is not impossible to destroy locusts, and if everyone mobilizes, they can definitely be exterminated.

The key point is that when a locust plague occurs, only a small number of people in the disaster area often take action, and most of them wait and see in despair.

And even the people who are taking action are definitely not like now, with such a high degree of subjective initiative, and the whole family goes into battle day and night, holding a net to catch.

If there had been such a high level of enthusiasm a long time ago, I am afraid that the vast majority of locust plagues would not have formed a huge scale.

No, this time the locust plague is really thunderous and rainy.

By now, the locust plague can no longer be a disaster, and many people are stalking and catching those fish that have slipped through the net.

It simply does not capture the point of extinction.

This year's locust plague has indeed had a certain impact on grain, but it is far from reaching the point of extinction.

At best, it is only a reduction of two or three percent.

This kind of loss is absolutely at the point where it can be beared.

Even because this year, almost the entire Jiannan Province has been planted with sweet potatoes, peanuts and corn, three new crops.

These three high-yielding crops are bound to be bumper harvests, and there will not even be excessively high grain prices this year.

This time, the locust plague was perfectly solved by Li Su, the king of Shu, in this way.

……

This dramatic change made Li Shimin and the civil and military officials unbelievable.

After the news came, they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

At this time, they still couldn't imagine that Li Su, the king of Shu, had opened the whole locust feast before, in order to solve the locust plague through this method.

And it turned out to work.

And this kind of thing, it is estimated that it is really difficult for others to do this except for Li Su, the king of Shu.

Because, just to publicize locusts as a delicacy and make countless people like to eat locusts is something that many forces can't do.

Yizhou New Town Food City, coupled with Yizhou Monthly News, will make many forces ashamed.

The King of Shu, once again, used his own methods to solve a crisis in Datang.

When the news came, Wang Xin in prison was completely stunned.

He never expected that things would take such a turn.

If the locust plague is out of control and the people are starving everywhere, maybe he still has a chance to live.

But what about now? The king of Shu, who was impeached by him and offended the locust god and asked the emperor to punish him heavily, turned out to be a way to resolve the locust plague.

This made him really have no chance to live!

Wang Xin believed that in a few days, Li Shimin would inevitably put him to death.

So, Wang Xin, who was pessimistic and desperate, crashed to death in prison, so as not to be humiliated again.

Li Shimin, who learned the news, couldn't understand his hatred and said a word about cheapening this old guy.

In the end, however, he was not held accountable.

Recently, families such as the five surnames and Qiwang have been suppressed to a certain extent.

Wang Xin's death, they can only accept it silently.

Now, Li Shimin doesn't want to overstimulate the five surnamed Qiwang and other families.

……

Before you know it, the weather is getting hotter, and it's time to harvest the tea.

Li Su signed a contract with those tea farmers and began to send people to guide those tea farmers and pick tea leaves.

Li Su's method is a little special, and the method of picking tea farmers on weekdays is not quite the same.

However, the price given by Li Su is very high, almost ten times their usual price.

Therefore, it is natural that they will deal with what Li Su tells them.

The tea farmers picked the tea leaves and dried them until they were dry for three or four years, and Li Su began to buy them back.

Then he ordered someone to specially fry the tea leaves.

The process of frying tea leaves is naturally confidential.

Although it has been a year, because Li Su has done a good job of secrecy, so far the people of the five surnamed Qiwang and other families have not mastered the method of frying tea.

After frying these tea leaves, Li Su got tens of thousands of catties of tea.

And at this time, it is time to harvest winter wheat again.

Well, at this time, the winter wheat straw is very short, and the people of Yizhou do not think that winter wheat can have a high yield.
