Chapter 263: The Great Foodie Country
Lin Sen, who has not been on duty recently, was also specially called over this time, and after Li Shimin's performance was completed, he called Lin Sen to come and tell him a few words with a smile, as for those who vomited in the back, naturally there was a special imperial history to warn them.
Today can be said to be a historic moment, and Li Shimin's performance just now will naturally be included in the "Living Note", as well as the records of other historians, Yan Liben and Yan Lide brothers also followed, obviously intending to make a picture to reproduce this scene on the silk silk, for future generations to see.
Specially called Lin Sen over, obviously also to take care of him, to be able to leave history, what an honor it is, although Lin Sen has never pursued fame, but after all, it is Li Shimin's heart.
Especially in front of hundreds of officials, at such a moment, the meaning of this is more and more intriguing.
At least the officials who were a little green with jealous eyes in the back looked at Lin Sen with very different eyes, which was not something that Jian Zai Dixin could describe.
In contrast, if the image of the family officials who vomited in the back is also recorded in the original form, what kind of evaluation will it be for future generations, it is conceivable, it is very likely that it will be left for 10,000 years.
I can't help but regret it in my heart, and I am also wondering in my heart, whether to dredge up Yan Liben and his brothers, at least the painting can't let them be used as a negative teaching material to set off Li Shimin's tall image.
As for what is written in the history books, they have no choice, even the emperor can't touch the historian, and it is unlikely that they want to beautify themselves, so they have to let it go.
"You kid has made a lot of efforts this time, and I will give you a credit here." Li Shimin whispered to Lin Sen with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Sen replied happily.
"I heard that the disaster on your Zhuangzi is lighter than that on their Zhuangzi, so I want to go back and see how you did it." Li Shimin said solemnly.
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Lin Sen to answer again, Li Shimin waved his hand to signal that he could step back.
Completed this ritual with a strong sense of ...... Let's put on a show, Li Shimin and the others will naturally go back to continue their deliberations, and they can see what the situation is in the fields, and it is natural to have a target when they talk about it, and they can't continue to talk about empty words, and say more effective methods, and it is true that this disaster will be solved as soon as possible.
While the bigwigs were busy discussing countermeasures, the things Li Shimin did, as well as the touching prayers, slowly spread.
Whether it is the farmers who are experiencing the disaster, or other ordinary residents, they all buy Li Shimin's performance, and from time to time there will be voices singing praises to the crowd.
As a result, people also saw the hope of fighting the plague, and they also thoroughly picked up the confidence to resist the locust plague.
Even those diehards who not only did not cull the locusts in their own fields because of the reverence for the so-called locust god, but even hindered others from culling them, after Li Shimin's remarks this time, they finally began to join the team of culling locusts.
With confidence, spirit, and money from selling dried locusts, isn't the speed at which locusts are eliminated faster and faster?
Especially after the culling could not form a large scale, some of the fields that were saved earlier have already recovered a little bit of vitality, and it always makes people more hopeful and motivated.
And after Lin Sen broke away from the team led by Li Shimin, he simply sent someone to Duyiwei to inform him that the dish of dried fried locusts could be served.
At the beginning, it was still an old strategy, and each table gave a plate for everyone to taste, the kind that has all kinds of flavors, and it was right to try it.
Of course, it is indispensable to tell you the story behind this, how sympathetic to the people's feelings is today, and tell everyone in detail about Li Shimin's performance.
You said that you have eaten locusts today, should you also have a few more plates to taste? As soon as such an advertisement comes out, are you embarrassed to refuse?
Naturally, the buffet side also takes this as the main dish, and even the barbecue side has launched a series of dishes, which is multi-pronged, and it really has attracted a lot of customers who are good at this bite.
Although the price is actually not cheap as always, those people will praise each other after eating, saying that they are only benevolent and righteous.
If it is calculated according to the purchase price of a penny and a catty, the profit of this locust dish is not known how many times.
Of course, Li Shimin also heard about Lin Sen's practice of selling locust dishes, and he only laughed at Lin Sen's practice of using himself as an emperor as a gimmick.
After all, this approach is actually helping him, the emperor, to establish a more positive image, and is helping him establish more prestige, and it is that kid's ability to make money.
But in fact, he still underestimated the power of foodies, you must know that locusts, put in the future generations, you don't say a disaster, you want to see something alive in the wild, it is not easy for the future generations to eat, that is specially bred by someone, a small box is so limited to dozens of them, but the price is expensive.
If this thing has a lot to do with the environment of later generations, another typical example is naturally the crayfish that was originally an invasive species.
This thing has become a disaster when it goes to other places, but when it comes to our country, especially after it becomes a snack that can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, not only is it almost impossible to see in the ditch, but it has simply become a large-scale breeding project, and the scale of raising this thing is not the same as that of raising locusts.
But this was originally a biological invasion that everyone had to talk about in other countries, and it was eaten like this, which is our big foodie country.
And the locust thing obviously has a tendency to become a crayfish in the Tang Dynasty, and the speed of this popularity, to be honest, is a bit unexpected by Lin Sen.
After the unique launch of a series of dishes of locusts, the farmers on the Lin family Zhuangzi who are taking out snacks, because of their resource advantages in this area, are convenient to get goods from Lin Sen, and they have also developed a series of locust snacks, which are fried and fried anyway.
Of course, frying is rare, and it is a secret technique treasured by a big restaurant, anyway, this locust has become a must-eat thing for the residents of Chang'an City almost every day.
Naturally, other vendors were not to be outdone, and rushed to make locust snacks, so you can see a bunch or a serving of locusts everywhere in Chang'an City, munching on them.
Especially after many famous doctors have come forward and said that as long as this locust is thoroughly cooked, not only will it not make people sick, but it will make people strong and strong, and the effect is even better than eating meat, ordinary people are even more inclined to this thing.
Eating meat must be carefully pondered, that thing is not cheap, and some people don't see a little meat except for the New Year's holidays.
But you don't have to think much about eating locusts, just go to the field and catch it. Locusts worth a penny are enough for a family to eat until they vomit, and it is not easy and pleasant to have a little craving.
It can only be said that the skills of foodies are really passed down in one line. Seeing those locusts enter people's stomachs at an astonishing speed, this is the rhythm of being eaten alive.
In such an increasingly relaxed atmosphere, Li Shimin once again came to the Lin family Zhuangzi.
