The recipe for barbecue locusts spread to the people, and many taverns also introduced this dish one after another.

The only place that supplies locusts is Youzhou.

In just over a month, Youzhou has obtained several times more profits from the sale of locusts than normal grain production.

Looking at the accounts, Yuan Xi was stunned.

When the locust plague began, he didn't expect that it would become an opportunity for Youzhou to make profits.

Before Yuan Xu left, he ordered Wei Qi to distribute many hybrid rice seeds to farmers in Youzhou.

A locust plague, Youzhou was blessed by misfortune.

Not only did he make a lot of money with locusts, but he also got the opportunity to grow hybrid rice.

Returning to Yecheng, Yuan Xu arrived home and was about to go to see Zhen Mi, when the guard reported: "Gather wealth and ask to see." ”

"Ask him to come in." Yuan Xu commanded.

Zhen Yan came to the study and saluted Yuan Xu.

Yuan Xu asked, "Are you here for locusts?" ”

Zhen Yan replied: "The locusts were put on the market, and the goods were sold out soon, and the locust plague in Youzhou has passed, and there is no longer enough supply of goods." ”

"When a certain food is launched, there will be a period when the popularity subsides." Yuan Xu said: "Although locusts are good, if they are supplied for a long time, they will also make people lose interest. How do we deal with the next locust plague? ”

Zhen Yan was stunned: "Childe means ......"

"Stop here." Yuan Xu instructed: "All locusts are only used in the auction hall, as for the people, if anyone wants to eat them, they should go to the wild to find them." ”

Zhen Yan looked embarrassed: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to find a locust in the wild." ”

"What's going on?" Yuan Xu asked.

"Since the recipe was spread to the market, many people went to the wild to catch it, and now near Yecheng, I am afraid that even a small locust will not be found."

When there was a locust plague, Yuan Xu's first thought was to use people's appetite to solve the locusts.

He ignores the greed of man.

Locusts are delicious and expensive, and many people will of course go outside the city to catch them.

When the big locusts are caught, the small ones will suffer.

"P......ests that eat grain," Yuan Xu said, "I can't give an order that the people should not catch them and protect them." ”

"That's not necessary." Zhen Yan replied: "I'm afraid that the locusts will be eaten to the point of extinction." ”

"I don't think so." Yuan Xu said: "Locusts have a very strong breeding ability, and as long as the heat subsides, they will appear again soon. ”

Without locusts, the benefits will be much less, Zhen Yan is unwilling, but there is no way.

Locusts are almost extinct, and they can't be artificially bred?

was rumored out, and didn't Yuan Xu's hostile forces find a charge of cultivating disasters?

"When will the farm produce its first crops?" Yuan Xu changed the subject.

"Tomatoes, peppers, and corn are just seedlings." Zhen Yan replied: "I have read the Book of Heaven, and it will take at least three months to grow up." ”

"How is hybrid rice cultivated?" Yuan Xu asked again.

"I am cultivating according to the method taught by the Book of Heaven, and as for whether it can be done or when it can be done, I dare not guarantee it."

"The main responsibility of the farm is to breed." Yuan Xu advised: "The first batch of crops appear on the market, and you still have a chance to make money." ”

"I understand." Zhen Yan said: "Before the new crops are fully accepted by the world, they can be planted in large quantities outside the farm. When the second crop appears on the market, you can abandon the planting. ”

"You made a wealth gathering order, and you really didn't choose the wrong person." Yuan Xu nodded with satisfaction: "Is there anything else?" ”

"The crayfish grows." Zhen Yan's reply made Yuan Xu stunned for a moment.

"How long has it been?" Yuan Xu asked, "How big is it?" ”

Zhen Yan gestured with his hand: "It's probably so long." ”

Yuan Xu was stunned, when he stocked crayfish, they were still seedlings.

After just three or four months, it has actually grown.

The growth rate is also too fast.

"Now that it's grown, you can catch some." Yuan Xu instructed: "Leave a small amount for breeding, and send the rest to the auction house every day." ”

"The Book of Heaven records how to cook crayfish." Zhen Yan said: "I will let the cook think about it." ”

"If the cooking is successful, give me one first." Yuan Xu explained: "After I taste it, I will push it out to the guests." ”

Zhen Yan responded and left.

That night, Yuan Xu was talking to Zhen Mi in the room, and the maid reported: "I want to see you in the front hall." ”

After just half a day, Yuan Xu guessed that he should have sent crayfish over.

He said to Zhen Mi: "Madame, wait for me for a while, I'll go get some food." ”

"Food?" Zhen Mi was puzzled: "What kind of food?" ”

"Two or three months ago, I had some crayfish stocked on the farm." Yuan Xu replied: "Now that it has grown up, it should be cooked." ”

"Crayfish?" Zhen Mi was at a loss.

Yuan Xu knew that he couldn't explain clearly: "When I bring it back, my wife will know." ”

Leaving the dormitory, Yuan Xu went straight to the front hall.

Zhen Yan led an entourage and waited there.

The attendant carried a clay pot with intricate carvings.

Zhen Yan saluted: "I've seen the son." ”

"Crayfish?" Yuan Xu asked.

Zhen Yan replied: "I let people catch some fish, let the cook cook first, and send it to Gongzi." ”

"Come in with me." Yuan Xu walked into the front hall.

Zhen Yan and his entourage followed in.

After sitting down, Yuan Xu said, "Bring it to me and try it." ”

Zhen Yan's entourage placed the clay pot in front of him.

When the clay pot was opened, a unique fragrance of crayfish burst out.

Yuan Xu sniffed deeply: "Yes, that's the smell, but I don't know what the taste is." ”

Zhen Yan bowed: "Please taste it." ”

Yuan Xu took out a crayfish.

When he was peeling, Zhen Yan subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

"You haven't tasted it yet?" Peeling off his hands full of sauce, he asked Zhen Yan.

"Childe wants to taste first, how dare I eat first." Zhen Yan replied very respectfully.

"As a wealth gathering order, if you don't taste something good, how can you do it?" Yuan Xu handed him the crayfish in his hand: "Eat this." ”

"How dare you trouble the son to peel shrimp." Zhen Yan was flattered, how dare she pick it up.

"Let you eat, where are you talking so much?" Yuan Xu handed the crayfish to him again.

Zhen Yan thanked him and stepped forward to take the peeled crayfish with both hands.

His eyes widened as he dipped the white meat in the sauce.

After he ate the piece of meat, Yuan Xu asked, "How does it taste?" ”

"Just one bite and it's unforgettable." Zhen Yan replied: "The cooking method recorded in the Book of Heaven is really ......."

He paused, thought for a moment, and looked ashamed: "It's really a poor word, I can't describe it." ”

"Then don't describe it." Yuan Xu peeled another shrimp and ate it himself.

The seasoning is enough, the method is correct, and the crayfish is really good.

Zhen Yan looked at him expectantly: "Childe, how is it?" ”

"Okay." Yuan Xu said: "I will take the rest back to the room and taste it with my wife." ”

He stood up with a clay pot, and Zhen Yan followed him until he was outside the door before retreating.
