Chapter 008: Be a man and leave a line
Qin Fei held back a smile and gave one to each person.
The diners began to taste it, and the original expression on the execution ground suddenly turned into surprise after eating: "Don't say it, this grasshopper looks disgusting, it tastes crispy and delicious, can Boss Qin come again?"
"Deep-fried grasshoppers, ten cents a plate. Qin Fei coughed.
"Boss Qin, didn't you say giving away snacks?" the diners said dissatisfied.
"You returned the gift, and now you will start charging. Qin Fei seemed to be smiling.
"There used to be a plate of sincere fried grasshoppers in front of me, but I didn't cherish it, and I regretted it until I lost it......" The diners sighed, but fortunately, the price was not expensive, and they bought it one after another.
Just when the snack bar business was booming and the diners were feasting, several officials rushed out of nowhere and overturned the tables, chairs and benches.
"What are you doing here?" the diners were shocked.
"Someone reported that this shop sells inferior ingredients, and the guests have diarrhea after eating, and the head catcher will be investigated and dealt with according to the law, and the others will quickly retreat, and they must not be obstructed!"
"This adult, the small shop operates in good faith, you say that I sell inferior ingredients, everything has to be evidenced. Qin Fei suppressed his anger, if it weren't for the other party wearing this skin, he would have started beating people a long time ago.
"Evidence?" Yan Zhutou looked up to the sky and laughed, "Little ones, search for evidence for me!"
"Order!" The minions swarmed up, smashing things when they saw them, and smashed Qin Fei's snack bar to pieces in an instant.
Although Chu Youlan was scared, she instinctively wanted to protect the store with her body, but was pulled back by Qin Fei: "It's okay, things are worthless, don't hurt people." ”
Chu Youlan saw Qin Fei's calmness, and her heart calmed down inexplicably, as if there was this man, and she was not afraid of the sky falling, so she stood obediently beside Qin Fei.
"Boss, I found a lot of fried grasshoppers in the store. "In fact, the officials are already making trouble casually, whether there is evidence or not, if they make trouble a few times, they will not be able to keep the store running.
These fried grasshoppers that can be found can continue to make things bigger.
Yan Zhutou's eyes were fierce: "You dare to give people such filthy things, and more importantly, what if this move angers the locust god and brings the locust plague to Yunjiang County, come on, fork this ill-intentioned person back for me!"
Qin Fei's momentum was calm, and he imprinted his palm on the table in front of him, leaving five fingers distinct: "This head catcher, leave a line in life, and see each other in the future." ”
The officials were surprised, this is a person who practices martial arts, he is really in a hurry, killing a few people is not like playing?
Yan Zhutou snorted coldly, and slapped his palm on the table in front of him, and the wooden table suddenly fell apart: "Lao Tzu won't leave you a line, is there a problem?"
"No problem. "Spicy crayfish, Qin Fei wanted to pretend to be forced at a critical time, but he didn't expect that the other party's cultivation was higher than his own, and he was suddenly stunned.
Just when Qin Fei couldn't get off the stage, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a sedan car team on the street who was hurrying to see the standard, it was a seven-grade official sedan chair.
Qin Fei's eyes rolled, and he became calm and idle again.
In the evening, I heard from the diners that the county magistrate was offering a reward for a solution to the locust plague, and there were five hundred taels of silver.
Qin Fei had the mentality of being a big fool if he had money, and he was afraid that he would be the first to get there, so he hurriedly packed a box of fried grasshoppers, attached instructions, and asked someone to send them to the county mansion.
It seems that the county attaches great importance to this proposal, otherwise it would not have come overnight.
Qin Fei's expression was calm: "Although locusts are insects, they are harmless to people, as long as they can be handled correctly, they can be eaten by people." According to the medicine book "Materia Medica", locusts can relieve cough and asthma. ”
Qin Fei's voice gradually increased: "Now that the locust plague is raging and starvation is everywhere, if the method of eating locusts can be popularized, the people can have food for their stomachs, and they can even trade and sell it to subsidize their families." ”
"As for the locust god, it has been a disaster for the people of my Tianlong Kingdom, and it has often begged and worshiped over the years, but when has it stopped?"
"If people respect me for a foot, I can respect people, but if I only allow locusts to eat the grain of my people, I am not allowed to wait for the people to eat locusts?"
Qin Fei's words were loud and rhythmic, and the onlookers all felt their blood surging, and said loudly: "It's right to eat locusts!"
"Locusts are delicious!"
At this time, because people's attention was attracted by Qin Fei, almost no one noticed that the Qipin official sedan chair stopped behind the crowd.
The county lord did not rush to get off the sedan chair, and after recalling Qin Fei's words, he felt that he had completely spoken to his heart.
Only locusts are allowed to eat the grain of our people, but the people are not allowed to eat locusts?
The county lord opened the food box sent by the snack bar in the other world, and only a small half of the fried grasshoppers in it were left, and he picked up a few more and put them in his mouth.
Having said that, when the county first received this food box, he thought it was a farce and was furious, but the fried grasshopper smelled really fragrant.
In addition, Qin Fei's appendix explained in sufficient detail, the county order was desperate, and the dead horse was regarded as a live horse doctor, so he tried this method head-on.
If the fried locusts can really be eaten, even if the taste is not good, it can be accepted, and when the time comes, it will not only prevent the locust plague in Yunjiang County, but even save the entire Tianlong Kingdom and make immortal achievements.
When the county took the first bite, he made a lot of mental preparations, and felt that even if the taste was weird, he had to swallow it in his stomach.
But I never expected that the locusts were not only not unpalatable, but a little chicken-flavored, crunchy, and the more you chewed, the more fragrant they became.
I couldn't hold back the surprise and ate half a box in one go.
Immediately afterwards, he prepared a palanquin to meet this strange man who made locusts into a delicacy.
At this time, the headhunter was protested by the masses, and he was furious, and he scolded: "A bunch of nonsense, my Tianlong Country is a state of etiquette, there is a program of conduct, and there is a regular food, only pigs, dogs, and beasts eat such filthy things, and you want to be punished together?"
The people suddenly didn't dare to make a sound, and the official words were open, how could they talk about them.
The county honorable who was eating a grasshopper almost choked, and hurriedly opened the curtain and jumped out: "Who is talking wildly?"
"Your grandfather and me!" Yan Zhutou was so angry that he was about to explode, and someone dared to contradict him, "Who was talking just now, get out!"
The crowd parted a road, and the county lord had a blue face, although he was wearing regular clothes, his momentum was not comparable to Yan Zhutou: "Yan Zhutou, you are so majestic!"
"Lord County?" Yan Zhutou shook in fright, like a mouse seeing a cat, trembling, "What wind blew you here?" ”
"What's going on?" the county leader frowned and looked at the mess.
"Hey, the matter of sesame and garlic is ......" Yan Zhutou wanted to be sloppy, but when he saw that the county order had a serious face, he said the prepared rhetoric, "My subordinates received a report that this snack bar sells inferior food, and people vomit and diarrhea when they eat it, so they are here to investigate and collect evidence." ”
"Sure enough, we found a large number of crayfish and locusts, where are the things that people eat......"
As he spoke, Yan Zhutou suddenly noticed that there was a grasshopper leg hanging from the corner of the county lord's mouth.
Yan Zhutou couldn't speak: "My lord, could it be you...... You ......"
"Yes, I've eaten it, and the locusts are delicious. The county lord licked the grasshopper leg from the corner of his mouth into his mouth, and his expression was as usual, "Do you want to try it too?"
Yan Zhutou felt dizzy, everything today was unbelievable, but he only understood one thing, if he refused to eat locusts now, he would definitely ruin his future.
He picked up a confiscated fried locust, put it in his mouth in pain, and was ready to swallow it without chewing it.
But at the moment of entry, Yan Zhutou chewed a few bites as if reflexively, and the crispy taste suddenly exploded.
Yan Zhutou opened his eyes, grabbed a few more and put them in his mouth, and gave a thumbs up while chewing: "Hey, it's so fragrant." ”
The onlookers laughed, and they didn't know what they were laughing at, but they were very happy to see this scene anyway.
"That's it. The county lord nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered, "Come on, Yan Zhutou uses his power for personal gain, oppresses the good, first drag down the staff sixty, and remove him from his position!"
"The rest of the people shall be given thirty rods and a fine of three months. ”
"The subordinates are old and young, and please be merciful!" Yan Zhu had a headache and cried, and began to sell miserably.
The county lord didn't pay attention to Yan Zhutou anymore, just looked at Qin Fei with a smile: "Old man Zhou Li, I don't know what to call the store?"
"Qin Fei. "Qin Fei is neither humble nor arrogant.
"Today, the county government will compensate for all the losses of the store. "The performance of the county lord seems to be a little flattering.
Yan Zhutou immediately understood that the county respected him purely to let Qin Fei vent his anger.
And why does the county attach so much importance to Qin Fei? It is estimated that he wants to use fried grasshoppers to solve the locust plague, and after Yan Zhutou figured it out, it was as if he had grasped the last straw: "Qin Gongzi, I am wrong and short-sighted, please forgive me." ”
Qin Fei shook his head and sighed: "Yan Zhutou, I told you a long time ago to be a man and leave a line." ”
Yan Zhutou was dumbfounded, how could he have thought that retribution would come so quickly?
The county lord already understood what Qin Fei meant, and immediately waved his hand: "What are you still doing in a daze, quickly bring people down." ”
Qin Fei let out a bad breath, and when he saw that it was good, he accepted it, and turned around: "The county lord is well aware of the righteousness and knows everything, which is really a blessing for the people of my Yunjiang County." ”
"I have recorded all the cooking methods of the fried grasshoppers on this piece of paper, and I am now presenting them to the county lord. ”
This cooking method is not difficult, even if Qin Fei doesn't give it, it can be concluded after a few experiments, and Qin Fei really wants the people to get through this catastrophe as soon as possible.
Taking the paper, the county lord looked at it carefully, the method is not complicated, and there is no need for special materials, if there is no oil, it can be roasted, even if he, a person who has never cooked, can do it, he is a little incredulous: "It's that simple?"
"It's as simple as that. "Snacks are like that, they don't need complicated recipes, ornate decorations, they are simple, and they taste ordinary in the ordinary.
"Qin Gongzi's righteous dedication, can there be other conditions? As long as the old man can do his best, he will never refuse. Lord Xianzun pondered for a moment, this favor was too great.
"I only hope that the adults will solve the disaster as soon as possible and save the people of Li from fire and water. "In principle, Qin Fei wants to make a lot of money through this, but now that he is suffering from disasters everywhere, Yunjiang County can't come up with too much money, so he just pretends to be forced.
I didn't look at the eyes of those big girls and little daughters-in-law, they were full of admiration.
The county lord was moved to tears: "The old man immediately promoted this method and reported it to the imperial court, and after the success, he personally came to the door to thank him." ”
