In the face of Datang's official vague reminder, Li Anran naturally couldn't understand what the other party meant. At that moment, I had to send someone to exchange the batch of old rice and flour that was not of good quality but also did not eat bad people directly with those grain merchants for cheap grain, and then got the cheapest kind of grain from modern time and space, corn.

The reason why I didn't buy corn in front of me but bought Chen Yu and flour was mainly because the price of these two things was cheaper than corn because of the quality and the shipper's eagerness to turnover. As for why we don't get millet or millet directly from modern time and space, the reason is simple: the price of these two kinds of grains is even much higher than that of ordinary rice and white flour.

And the corn that Ang Lee came to get later, although it is not a very popular sweet waxy corn variety in modern time and space, but the most common old yellow corn, which is much inferior in taste and nutrition. But it doesn't matter if it's ground into small particles and boiled directly into cornmeal, or ground into corn flour and then made into corn tortillas, corn buns and other pasta, which can be used to fill the belly, it is absolutely fine.

In order to prevent corn from being unacceptable, Li Anran also printed a large number of leaflets on how to eat corn in modern time and space, and asked Xiangyun to send people to those purchase points together with corn. He even asked the purchase point to make the corresponding food in advance, and distributed it to the people who came to exchange it for dried locusts as a tasting.

As for those who are still unwilling to exchange corn, they will not be forced to exchange it. Anyway, the previous batch of old rice and flour was exchanged for a lot of corn and millet, and it is completely up to you to choose which one you want to exchange. Even, out of love for food. Li Anran also asked people to make the yellow buns in the documentary "A Bite of Food".

When returning to modern time and space to collect specific production methods, Li Anran also unexpectedly discovered that the old Huang couple who were popular for making yellow steamed buns in "A Bite of Food" have now become the spokespersons of Xibei Northwest Cuisine, personally "supervising" this rural neighborhood snack to more people's tables.

According to online sources, the price of this image spokesperson should be three Chinese New Year's Eve, although compared with those celebrity endorsements, it is more than one and a half stars, but for an old Huang who originally earned about 10,000 yuan a year, an annual salary of 100,000 is already a very good price.

And this old man's economic acumen is actually not bad. After getting an endorsement fee of 300,000 yuan. And did not retire because of this. On the contrary, he used the money to build a simple house on the edge of his three-hole cave as a processing room to expand the production of yellow steamed buns. At the same time, a company called "Yulin Huang Laohan Food Co., Ltd." was also registered.

With the effect of his fame, Huang Laohan not only no longer has to tow his own truck to sell, but also. The yellow buns, which were originally one yuan a piece, have also risen to two yuan a piece. And the brand that endorses. It is even sold for up to three yuan a piece. I can't help but think about it. It's not that I can't figure it out, but that this world is changing too fast......

However, I have to admit that the yellow bun is made by a series of procedures such as soaking, grinding, sifting, and, fermenting, filling, steaming, etc. The taste aspect is really distinctive. Compared with the common millet rice, this fermented and steamed yellow bun is not easier to digest and has a better taste.

In particular, the filling made of red dates and red beans on the bread makes the yellow steamed bun, which has a single taste, even sweeter. It's a pity that for the people who are suffering from the locust plague in Datang time and space, the stuffing is no longer enough, and being able to fill their stomachs is the key.

Due to the considerable scale of the locust plague this time, in order to be able to supply enough corn, Li Anran also deliberately went to China with great difficulty. Taking advantage of the convenience of giving money in China and where you send the goods, a large amount of grain was transported to Datang through the warehouses under the management of the trading company's branches in Nanjing and Shanghai.

It was precisely with this batch of grain that the price of grain that had skyrocketed due to the locust plague was controlled, and Li Shimin, who was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was under a little less pressure. However, as the king of a country, it is naturally impossible for him to act at all when facing such a natural disaster. No, seeing that the locust plague is getting more and more intense, a ceremony to worship the heavens is also grandly held.

Li Anran, who didn't want to participate in this matter at all, politely declined the invitation sent by Li Shimin on the grounds that he still needed to transport food from the upper realm to the bottom. However, afterwards, I still learned about the grand occasion of this festival.

Considering that the locust plague was raging right now, Li Shimin was not stupid enough to really make any big scenes. just took a group of high-ranking officials to put on a good show on the altar established outside Chang'an City.

Li Anran had to admit that Li Shimin, who was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was indeed worthy of being a ruthless man who killed his brother and killed his brother. The people have had, and they are giving to one. If you are psychic, but eat me, it will not harm my people! ”

A group of civil servants and military generals persuaded him on the grounds that they were afraid of getting sick from eating locusts raw, but Li Shimin said: "If you want to move the disaster, what kind of disease can you avoid?" As a result, none of the ministers were able to escape, and all of them enjoyed the treatment of tasting locusts.

If these people just ate the kind of baked locust jerky, or the locusts that were fried and then sprinkled with five-spice powder, Li Anran didn't think it was anything. After all, although these two ways of eating are very disgusting for most of them, they can definitely be called two good dishes in terms of taste alone.

But what makes people speechless is that the Tang officials headed by Li Shimin eat the kind of live locusts that are caught. According to unreliable information, there are not a few ministers who vomit after this sacrifice. I heard that there were some people who couldn't get out of bed directly after the incident, and they were sick with nausea.

After the sacrifice, Li Shimin, who found that the locust plague did not have any intention of abating, had to send people to Xiaoyao Villa for help. As a result, Li Anran had to take advantage of his opportunity in modern time and space to get a considerable number of chickens, ducks, geese, as well as quails, sparrows, partridges, turtledoves and other artificially bred edible poultry to be sent to the hard-hit areas in Datang time and space.

Through the impact of time travel on these poultry and birds, these things have been able to resist the initial pain, and the astonishing appetite of these things directly allows the massive locusts to be devoured. At the same time, after receiving sufficient food and nutritional supplements, Li Anran also got a considerable number of poultry eggs, which can be regarded as a good windfall.

Although a large number of sparrows, quails, partridges, turtledoves and other artificially bred birds still have more or less flight ability, which directly led to the "loss" of these birds, but for Li Anran, this little loss will not be put in his heart, besides, there is not Li Shimin as a backer.

According to historical records, this locust plague lasted for a long time before it was finally alleviated and finally ended with the strong intervention of the natural ecological system, but under Li Anran's action, coupled with wild birds, beasts and even some insects in nature, they also made a lot of efforts, and as a result, the original raging locust plague came to an end ahead of schedule.

In this way, the rumors that originally had a lot of impact on Li Shimin were soon spread by the unknown whereabouts of the Dao came from, and Li Shimin was ordered by the heavens, and the locust plague began to disappear immediately after the sacrifice to the heavens, and began to spread widely in various disaster areas.

It is precisely because of this that Li Anran, who is constantly running around in various disaster areas of modern time and space and Datang time and space in order to stop the locust plague, is very dissatisfied. After a long time, he, the hero who rushed to the front line, became a foil. Not only did it not lose any actual benefits, but it also put a lot of manpower, material and financial resources into it.

Fortunately, Li Shimin is not the kind of character who unloads the mill and kills the donkey, at least when it comes to targeting someone and the current matter. When the plague of locusts finally began to dissipate, the decree of reward from the Imperial Palace of Chang'an City also arrived.

I don't know if Lu Dao took into account that Li Anran really made a lot of effort this time, or to seal his mouth, this time the reward was quite generous...... (To be continued......)
