Chapter 25 Methods of Handling Rabbits
The next morning, Old Jack led Tang San, and the two walked for half a day, eating some dry food on the way, and in the afternoon, they could already see the city wall in the distance.
Although Notting City is not a big city, because it is close to the border of the Heaven Dou Empire, the walls are built thickly.
After Tang San and Old Jack were inspected like passers-by, they entered Notting City and came to the central square of Notting City.
At this time, the central square of Notting City, which was already extremely noisy, was already crowded with dense figures, and it was even more crowded.
At the edge of the square, two rows of soldiers in armor and weapons stood to maintain order, each with a sword in his hand that shimmered with cold light.
In the square, there is a long black table, and around the long table are six black seats, but these seats are still empty.
Four or five meters away from the long table, there are rows of black benches, on which many people are already sitting.
Old Jack took Tang San and slowly squeezed in from the outermost part with great difficulty, and then sat down on the bench in the fourth row.
"Look, the city lord and the patriarchs of the four major families of Notting City, as well as the dean of the Notting Junior Soul Master Academy, have actually come over together!"
"Where!"
"Really, I didn't expect that even the patriarchs of the four major families of Zhou, Wu, and Zheng of Notting City would also come."
......
Not long after Tang San and Old Jack took their seats, an old man behind him who looked about the same age as Old Jack exclaimed, and at the same time, the people around him also began to scream.
Old Jack and Tang San followed the old man's line of sight, and saw four men and two women, one of them was a middle-aged man and a middle-aged beauty, and the other four were white-haired old men.
In the sight of everyone and the opening of the soldiers, these six people walked in, and the four gray-haired old men walked calmly, and they couldn't see that they were what people of this age should have.
"Everyone, please be quiet."
The middle-aged man led by was Xiao Yu, the current city lord of Notting City, who walked to the long table, pressed his hands weakly, and motioned for everyone who came to the meeting to be quiet first.
Xiao Yu's voice carried a trace of soul power, and soon the originally noisy square gradually quieted down.
Xiao Yu and the patriarchs of several families behind him glanced at each other, sat on the black chairs one after another, and several people began to communicate in a whisper.
"The main thing that everyone came to this meeting this time was to discuss one thing."
Xiao Yu opened his mouth and said: "Everyone present knows that in recent years, the villages and towns of Notting City have been more or less infested by those crazy rabbits, and the harvest has been greatly reduced, which will affect the supply of our Notting City. “
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, several patriarchs of the Notting City family glanced at each other and nodded one after another.
This is indeed the case in Notting City, and in the near future, the situation in the whole of Notting City is not good, because of the rabbits, many places in those small villages have been badly damaged, many houses have been damaged, and even some civilians have been attacked.
"We were really helpless at first, and although it was easy to capture these rabbits, it would still consume a lot of manpower and material resources, and delay the time for civilians to plant their usual crops."
"And it's not realistic to say that these rabbits are caught for food or in exchange for payment." Xiao Yu continued.
Zhou Tianqin, the patriarch of the Zhou family, said directly: "The strange smell of rabbit meat is not something that people can eat at all, I really don't know how the chef over there in Wuhun City got rid of this smell." ”
If the rabbit meat on the Douluo Continent is not processed in a special way, it will have a strange smell after cooking, just like eating baba, so ordinary people can't accept this taste at all.
And if you don't eat meat, there is only one part that a whole rabbit can eat, and that is the rabbit head.
At present, the only chefs who can cook rabbit meat are the chefs in Wuhun City, and as far as they know, these chefs are actually no different from ordinary chefs, and the reason why they can cook rabbit meat is that Wuhun Hotel will provide special spices, which can counteract the odor of rabbit meat.
Xiao Yu smiled, and he didn't sell it anymore, he said to several patriarchs: "But now, our Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire have worked together to finally develop a formula that can greatly reduce the smell of rabbit meat......"
Before the words fell, several patriarchs couldn't help but exclaim: "Is this really the case? ”
"Naturally, it's just ......"
"It's just what, city lord, don't buy it." The crowd urged.
"It's just that there is still a certain gap between the taste and the whole rabbit banquet at the Wuhun Hotel." Xiao Yu sighed.
The whole rabbit banquet of Wuhun Hotel has different charges according to the age of rabbit soul beasts.
The most common ordinary whole rabbit feast uses nine hundred-year-old rabbit soul beasts as the main ingredients, with spicy rabbit head, braised rabbit legs, stir-fried rabbit heart, steamed rabbit steak, stuffy rabbit intestines, sauce fried rabbit tongue and so on, a total of 28 dishes.
"Don't say there's a little difference, as long as you have half the style of the whole rabbit feast, you can sell it!"
"That's right, we can lower the price and increase the portion!"
"In other words, these rabbits are no longer a disaster, but a fortune!"
"City Lord, is this how you deal with the rabbit plague?"
......
The patriarchs of the four major families of Notting City, plus the dean of Notting Academy, began to talk about it, and soon the preliminary method was roughly discussed by them.
Xiao Yu, the city lord of Notting City, stood up from his position as a representative, slowly walked in front of the representatives of many villages, cleared his throat and said: "Fellow villagers, regarding the matter of the village being infested by rabbits, this city lord has already thought of a way to deal with it. ”
"Everyone didn't think about catching rabbits before because rabbits can't be eaten, but now our Heaven Dou Empire has figured out how to eat rabbits."
"Therefore, the villagers can catch those rabbits that often plague the crops in exchange for a certain reward, the price is two catties and one silver soul coin."
"And, with the support of the Empire, we will open three rabbit slaughterhouses in the villages and towns near Notting City! It is expected to be completed within two months, and the list is as follows! ”
As soon as these words came out, the representatives of many villages pricked up their ears, no matter how they said a slaughterhouse, dozens of people could run it, so that they, the civilians, would have the opportunity to get more income, and it was a matter of their own interests, how could they not care.
"The first rabbit slaughterhouse will be opened in Linyuan Village."
"The second one is in Wang Soul Village!"
"The last one is in the Holy Soul Village!"
"Please ask the village chiefs of the above three villages to stay and discuss the salary of the slaughterhouse, and don't be discouraged from other villages that have not been selected, you can also catch rabbits, raise them bigger and fatter, and sell them to the slaughterhouse!"
Xiao Yu's subdued and frustrated voice echoed in this square, some people were ecstatic, and some people were disappointed.
