Chapter 759: Locust Feast
"Come and see, the king of Liaodong has published a new article!" On the streets, newspaper boys shouted, "What is the locust plague and how to deal with it!" It's all written on it! ”
"Bring me one!"
"I want it too!"
"And me!"
……
Soon, the more than 100 newspapers in the hands of the newsboy were snatched up.
After reading the newspaper, everyone talked about it.
"The locust, is it really not so terrible as the prince said?"
"That's it? Can that thing be eaten? So disgusting! ”
"Maybe! Didn't the prince say it, there are free things to taste in the Drunken Immortal Building, and you can't eat it if you don't eat it for nothing! ”
"you! It's just people like you who want to take advantage of it that you will eat it, right? ”
"That's it, be careful that you didn't take advantage of it, but lost your nickname!"
……
Although the people said so, but the Drunken Immortal Building has a free banquet to eat, and the greedy people have long been unable to bear it, and they have flocked to the Drunken Immortal Building!
Long before today's newspaper was published, Zhao Feng ordered that the captured locusts be transported to Zuixianlou, and then he personally taught the masters of Zuixianlou to cook locust delicacies.
Now, the drunken immortal building has not yet opened, but the door has been surrounded by people, in the hall inside the door, the dining table is full of delicacies made of locusts, some dishes if you don't look carefully, you can't recognize that this is made of locusts!
Soon, under the expectation of everyone, the drunken immortal building opened, and the shopkeeper walked out, holding a plate of fried locusts, and said loudly: "Today, in order to thank new and old customers, Zuixian Lou specially prepared a locust banquet!" You don't have to be polite, you can eat as much as you want, today's dishes, no money! ”
After that, the shopkeeper picked up a fried locust and put it in his mouth, chewed it with a squeak, and then closed his eyes, looking extremely enjoyed.
"I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes, before, when the lord made a locust feast, Xiao Lao'er I was very scared, not to mention eating, even sitting in front of this locust, I had some scalp numbness, and then the lord forced me to eat one, since then, Xiao Lao'er can't stop, that delicious, I believe everyone will like it too!" The shopkeeper said.
"Actually, this locust is not terrible, don't be intimidated by his appearance, in fact, locusts are very delicious!" The shopkeeper continued, "Alright, without further ado, now I declare that today's locust feast has officially begun!" ”
At the beginning, the people came with curiosity and the intention of taking advantage of a small advantage, but just when they saw the shopkeeper eating locusts, the corners of the people's mouths couldn't help but drool, and when they heard the shopkeeper say such a thing, everyone was even more greedy, and they couldn't wait to eat a locust that made the shopkeeper want to stop now!
However, when they sat in front of the locust feast, they really had some scalp numbness, this is really not ordinary scary, it is simply terrifying, strange shapes, all kinds of locusts are there!
"Humph! Anyway, no one can die, but Lao Tzu wants to try whether this locust is so delicious! The bold man, when he thought of the boss eating with relish, couldn't help it anymore, put a locust in his mouth, and chewed it "squeak".
At the beginning, this person just chewed and swallowed, but what he didn't expect was that the more he chewed, the more fragrant it became, and the more he chewed, the more it tasted, it was simply the best in the world!
So he ignored the inquiring gazes of others, and took one of his own hands again and put it in his mouth.
Looking at this person's reaction, the rest of the people instantly understood that this locust should be very delicious! Otherwise, how could this man be like this?
So everyone started to move, and even the less timid people tried to take a bite.
"Delicious! It's so delicious! ”
"Yes! I've never eaten anything so good! ”
"It's better than meat!"
"Huh? Don't rob it, leave me some! ”
……
The people talked a lot, and everyone unanimously gave praise for this locust feast!
The first batch of locust feasts was coming to an end, and the people touched their satisfied stomachs, reluctantly looked at the empty plates on the table, and finally left!
After returning, the people were still talking about this locust feast.
"It's a shame you didn't go!" A well-fed young man flaunted among the people.
"What? Could it be that locusts can really eat? A middle-aged uncle asked puzzled.
"Of course, if I can't eat it, will I come back alive? Let me tell you, this locust is much better than the pork! The youth said.
"Really?"
"Why are you lying to you, it looks like there is a locust feast in the afternoon, no, I have to go to the queue now!" The young man seemed to remember something, and hurriedly ran away.
The rest of the people, you look at me, I look at you, they don't know why.
"Why don't we try it?"
"Go, don't back down when the time comes!"
"Whoever returns is the grandson!"
"Let's go!"
……
As a result, many people flocked to the Drunken Immortal Tower, waiting for the second locust feast to begin!
"I'm sorry, due to the large number of people, please also ask friends who have already had the banquet in the morning to leave consciously, our locust feast this time, in order to let more people enjoy the delicious!" The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Everyone, please rest assured, the locust banquet lasts for three days, after three days, when the Zuixian Building is officially opened, the dishes on the locust banquet will be sold, and friends who want to eat can wait until three days later!" ”
Listening to the shopkeeper's kind words, those people who had already eaten in the morning were naturally embarrassed to enter the Drunken Immortal Mansion again, but as soon as they heard that they would be able to eat again after three days, the disappointment in their hearts was swept away.
The afternoon locust feast began smoothly and ended smoothly.
Under the word of mouth of the people, the reputation of this locust feast became more and more famous, and the delicacies made by locusts became more and more important in the hearts of the people.
Even the people themselves may have forgotten how scared they were of the chewing in their mouths!
Of course, this is not just the situation of one city in Xiangping City, as long as there is a drunken immortal tower in the rest of the cities, there will be a locust feast in front or behind! The entire people under Zhao Feng's rule have imperceptibly accepted the fact that locusts can be eaten!
And all of this is directed by Zhao Feng, who successfully used the free locust banquet to overcome the fear in the hearts of the people! This made Jia Xu admire from the bottom of his heart!
