Fried locusts?!

After hearing this name, Ku Ding only felt that his stomach was turning upside down, and he felt disgusted, and he felt disgusted when he thought of the black locusts in the sky eating the grain in the ground.

Even Chu Nangong and Xun Fuzi felt very uncomfortable in their stomachs, since ancient times, locusts have been synonymous with bad signs, people abandon it like a shoe, let alone eat, even give it to themselves, they will also refuse.

Ku Ding was very arrogant, he covered his mouth, almost vomited all the food he had just eaten, and said, "Hey, you actually let us eat locusts, it's too disgusting." ”

"Is it disgusting?"

While speaking, Meng Yi picked up a fried locust with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and enjoyed eating it very much, saying while eating: "Is it good that you didn't eat just now?" Why do you feel sick when you hear that this is a locust? ”

Just now, they regarded locusts as a delicacy in the world without knowing the situation, but when they learned the truth, their attitude immediately changed drastically.

They thought it was a delicacy in the world, but they didn't think of the locusts that were regarded as grass mustard, and they felt that the locusts flying all over the sky were covered with goosebumps.

Xun Fuzi suddenly thought of a question and said, "Xiao Yi, what you just said about solving the locust plague will not be ......?"

"Master is really smart, yes, this is one of my ways to solve the locust plague."

"One of them? Is there any other way you can do it? ”

"Of course, it's just that this method is the fastest effective, and if you want to last for a long time, you still need to combine the second method, but I'm afraid it won't work this year, and we are about to enter the outbreak period of the locust plague, and the only way to stabilize the locust plague is to control it first." Meng Yi said.

"What about the second way?"

"This second method is to introduce the natural enemies of locusts, and to achieve the effect of balancing locusts by raising the natural enemies of locusts, but this method requires too long a period of time and is not advisable in a short period of time."

At present, the first method can be laughed at in a short time, while the second method needs to be long-term, and aside from these, eating locusts is undoubtedly one of the best ways to solve the locust plague.

Once the locusts break out, there will be no harvest in the ground, and the people will have no food to eat, but if you hunt the locusts, not only can you solve the food problem, but also in a sense can increase the enthusiasm of the people to catch locusts, so that the locust plague will evolve into a delicacy on people's tables, this method can be described as simple and rude, it is a good way.

"I know it's hard for you to eat locusts for a while, but trust me, this locust is definitely an excellent ingredient to eat."

Seeing that the three of them were silent, Meng Yi explained again that it was indeed difficult to suddenly make these ancients accept fresh food, which was also expected by Meng Yi, and the purpose of not telling them the name of this dish at first was here.

"In all fairness, what does this fried locust taste like?" Meng Yi asked.

The three of them all nodded their heads again and again, not denying that the taste of this fried locust was really delicious, of course, it still took a process for them to accept it in a short time.

If a "big man" can stand up and lead the eating of locusts, it will inevitably form a chain effect, driving the people to eat locusts together, so that the problem of locust plague can be solved.

Meng Yi may not know that at this moment, the edict from Xianyang City will arrive in Songhai in a few days, once Meng Yi passes this method to Xianyang, with the First Emperor taking the lead and promoting it throughout the country, it will definitely set off a wave of "locust fever".

"Xiao Yi, to be honest, you really don't say the taste of fried locusts, one word: fragrant; Two words: very fragrant. But if you want the people to eat locusts, do you ......?"

"I know the difficulties of Brother Kuding, the people will not accept it, and the locust plague is not easy to deal with at all." Meng Yi expressed their worries, "Then do you know what the benefits of eating this locust are?" ”

"What? Is there any benefit to eating locusts?! ”

"Everything is edible, and this locust is no exception."

Hearing that there are benefits to eating locusts, the three people, including Xun Fuzi, were all bright-eyed, Meng Yi felt that there was a way in his heart, Meng Yi smiled and said: "When I was a child, I read an ancient medical book, called "Compendium of Materia Medica", which recorded the wonderful use of locusts. The locusts contained in the book can be used for spleen deficiency and lack of food, rapid and slow convulsions, and are also effective for symptoms such as whooping cough and asthma and shortness of breath. ”

"Compendium of Materia Medica? Why has the old man never heard of it? Xun Fuzi asked, after all, he is also well-read, and he has never heard of or seen this medical book.

How did Xun Fuzi know that the medical work "Compendium of Materia Medica" would not be completed until a thousand years later.

"There are so many medical books in the world, the master has not read them, and he is an ordinary person, even I saw them by accident." Meng Yi explained.

"That's right."

Xun Fuzi didn't delve into it, after all, there are too many books in the world, how can he finish reading them?

At this time, Meng Yi turned to Ku Ding and said: "Brother Ku Ding, you have an inn that is the largest inn in Songhai, why don't you and I join forces, I will provide the recipe for making locusts, and you will provide a place, how about dividing the money you earn at that time?!" You are seven and I am three. ”

"Brother, I didn't pour cold water on you, this 'fried locust' is indeed a good dish, but let those diners know that they eat locusts, they have to smash my inn." Ku Ding said.

Meng Yi smiled and said, "Let me ask you, if I hadn't told you the truth, would you know that this is a locust?" ”

Ku Ding shook his head, and he wouldn't have known that this delicacy was actually made by locusts.

"Even you, the chef, don't know, let alone the diners? You can change the name of this 'fried locust' dish to another name and give it a free plate to every table and see how it goes." ”

Meng Yi's trick is called putting a long line to catch big fish, and it is provided free to the diners at each table, first see how they react, if the response is good, it can become a superb dish in the inn.

His idea was soon approved by Ku Ding, and he provided a dish to the diners for free, and if the response was not good, he could withdraw it, if it was good, it would be a good profit, and it was about to come to the season of locust outbreaks, and at that time, the locusts in the ground could be said to be inexhaustible.

Meng Yi and Ku Ding hit it off, and Ku Ding asked again: "What's the name of that?" ”

"This fried locust has a golden brown surface and tastes crispy and delicious, so why not call it 'Locust Golden Crisp', what do you think?"

Ku Ding is a businessman, can make an inn the first in Songhai, his mind is absolutely flexible, he seems to smell a keen business opportunity, said: "Your method is wonderful, brother, I see what you still read, how about just doing business with me, you and my brothers join forces, you and I will definitely be rich." ”

Meng Yi waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions." ”

Ku Ding was obviously a little disappointed, but he was also a bold person, and said: "Brother, just now you said three or seven points, it's too unfair to you, it's better to be like this, you and I are divided fifty-fifty, after all, the recipe is provided by you, and I just provide a place to sell vegetables, so it is already a great bargain for you." ”

Seeing that he was stubborn, Meng Yi didn't say anything anymore, and the two hit it off and reached an agreement.

Unexpectedly, Ku Ding's trip was actually a deal, and Master Xun and Chu Nangong also saw this matter in their eyes, and these two old men admired Meng Yi even more.

At a young age, he beat Chu Nangong in chess, won over Master Xun in endorsement, and even made Ku Ding ashamed of himself, a person like him is simply a genius.

The four of them sat at the table, eating delicious food, how beautiful the days were, and drank a little wine, and they were even more excited.

The four of them chatted, and just happened to talk about the college exam, Chu Nangong asked: "Xiao Yi, how do you think of this academy exam?" ”

"It's either number one or number one."

"How?"

Meng Yi shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "I wrote an article satirizing the shame of learning from the teacher, and I guess the teachers will be angry when they see it." So, either you succeed or you become benevolent. ”

Chu Nangong and Xun Fuzi glanced at each other, and faintly felt that something big would happen in the academy.
