Chapter 366 Eating Locusts Turns Waste into Treasure

The people below also saw the things on the table at this time, and immediately backed away in fright.

"My lord, what do you mean?" Han Song resisted his nausea and asked with trembling hands, pointing at the locusts on the plate.

"Of course I ate it." Lin Yifan grabbed a locust from the plate, brought it up to his nose and sniffed it, with an intoxicated expression on his face, "Ah, it smells so good."

This reminded him of the fried locusts he had eaten in modern times.

"Ugh!" Han Song couldn't help retching, turned his face away quickly, and waved his sleeves in panic, "My lord, this subordinate is not feeling well, please leave first."

"That can't be done. Now is the time for us to set an example for the people. As the prime minister, how can you be absent?" Lin Yifan grabbed him and said seriously.

When everyone heard the words, their expressions couldn't help but change. Looking at the fragrant locusts on the plate, they couldn't even whet their appetites.

"Crack!" Lin Yifan put the fried locust into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and made a crisp sound.But in the eyes of everyone, it was extremely disgusting, and the sound of nausea was endless.

After eating one, Lin Yifan continued to grab locusts from the plate and put them in his mouth.While eating, he looked at the crowd and greeted them warmly: "Why do I eat, eat, everyone eat."

Everyone showed embarrassment on their faces, hesitating and not daring to try.Finally, Luo Yi stood up, looked at the crowd and said: "Everyone, I understand the intention of your lord's move. Since even adults dare to eat locusts for the common people, why can't we? This locust, The chief soldier is determined."

After speaking, he grabbed a handful of locusts from the plate, stuffed them into his mouth without thinking, and chewed vigorously.Suddenly, Luo Yi, who was chewing, his eyes lit up, showing disbelief, he couldn't help swallowing the food in his mouth quickly, and took out a handful of locusts and stuffed them into his mouth again.

Everyone was very moved. For the sake of adults, Luo Zongbing ate those locusts with a forced face and a smile.Immediately, several generals of the Hengshan Army stood up, grabbed a few locusts without saying a word, and stuffed them into their mouths with their eyes closed.As soon as he took two bites, his complexion changed drastically. He glanced at each other, and immediately rushed to the plate of locusts in front of him, only to fight for it.

When the rest of the people saw it, they suddenly felt something was wrong.Seeing them eating happily, is this locust really delicious?Han Song swallowed, picked out a thin locust from the plate with trembling fingers, and slowly put it into his mouth.

"Huh?" Han Song opened his eyes wide and looked at the locusts on the plate in disbelief. "This, why is this so delicious? Locusts can make such delicious things?"

"Master Han, what are you talking about? This food is delicious?" The rest of the people looked at him suspiciously and couldn't help asking.

"Whether it's delicious or not, don't you know if you try it?" Han Song grabbed the second locust and said to the crowd with a smile.

Now that Master Han had agreed, the doubts on everyone's faces finally subsided, and they grabbed a locust one after another and chewed it slowly.

"How is it possible that it is so delicious?"

"This locust is such a disgusting thing, it can make such delicious food. Your Excellency is really a genius."

"Well, it's delicious, don't grab it, this plate is mine." . . .

Everyone ate so much that their mouths were full of oil, and they scrambled to grab the locusts that swept the table.Seeing this, the people below couldn't help but feel itchy in their hearts. Since the adults are eating so happily, the locusts must be edible.So a few brave people stepped forward, grabbed the locusts and ate them.

"It's delicious, folks, this locust is so delicious."

"Hurry up, everyone, this locust is really delicious, it's definitely not a lie." . . .

Under the yelling of these people, more and more people came up to try.Soon, the long tables were overcrowded. As long as new locusts came up, they would be snatched up before they reached the table.

Looking at the people scrambling below, Han Song asked while eating the locusts, "My lord, how did you come up with the idea of ​​making locusts into delicious ingredients?"

Lin Yifan smiled slightly, and said with emotion: "As long as you have a foodie heart, you are the creature at the top of the entire food chain."

"This?" Han Song looked at him in confusion, not understanding what he was talking about.

Soon, the fried locust dish was popularized by Lin Yifan and quickly spread to the whole Hengshan.For a while, the price of locusts climbed all the way, reaching the price of [-] Wen a catty.This made the people more motivated to catch locusts, but within a few months, the locust plague in Anzhou quickly disappeared, and locusts began to become endangered animals, which needed to be artificially bred to maintain the consumption of restaurants and restaurants in various places.

During this locust plague, the government can be said to have made a fortune. The locusts purchased before were sold at a price of more than ten yuan per catty, making more than double the profit.At the same time, after being exposed to the sun, the locusts are ground into powder, which can also be used as feed to feed chickens, ducks and fish in ponds, which has many uses.

After receiving Mingzhou's request for help, Lin Yifan not only approved the allocation of a batch of grain and grass for support, but also used Hengshan's old wisdom to buy a large number of Mingzhou's locusts, but the price was reduced to a penny per catty.

But even so, Yang Mingyuan was still very excited, and immediately mobilized the people of Mingzhou to catch locusts and sell them to Hengshan.

With the spread of disasters in the world, Hengshan's senior management also received a lot of information, and they were shocked by the scope of the drought.

"Everyone, it's as expected. Bandit Cao jumped over the wall in such a hurry that he forced the emperor to make him Duke of Wei and add Jiuxi. Such actions are not far from usurping the throne." Lin Yifan looked at the crowd and said, "However, This severe drought dealt a heavy blow to Thief Cao, greatly eclipsing the prestige that he had built up after he was made Duke of Wei in the Jin Dynasty. Now that Jinzhou and Shangzhou are suffering from serious disasters, the power of the imperial court alone cannot suppress the raging public grievances. In addition, Cao’s administration is biased, harming the people and benefiting the family. I can be sure that in autumn and winter, the Central Plains will be in chaos.”

"Your Excellency's words are true." Han Song nodded with a heavy face, and sighed, "Thieves Cao perverted and won the hearts of the people in the world after all, but the poor people in the Jin and Shang states will suffer from famine and war. It is really sad. "

"That's right, but it's a pity that I, Hengshan, are weak, and I can't do anything about it." Lin Yifan nodded, and sighed deeply: "Master Han, the people of the Central Plains are also our compatriots, and we Hengshan must not just sit idly by. You Executive Yuan must hurry up Formulate a series of measures to attract the people of the Central Plains, and send as many people as possible to Hengshan to do our best."

"My lord is compassionate, and I appreciate it." Han Song expressed his joy and thanked him sincerely.

"My lord, in addition to recruiting refugees, there are signs of talents going north in all parts of the world." Guo Huaili stood up and said, "According to the news from the artistes of the propaganda department we have arranged in various places, many scholars and people of insight have expressed their feelings. Due to the great changes in the world, one after another came into the world to seek the enlightened master and help him. The subordinates thought that we in Hengshan must strive to get these talents to flow to Hengshan and add fresh blood to us."

Lin Yifan nodded solemnly, "Master Guo, this matter is very important. Your Propaganda Department must vigorously promote the various systems and ideas of our Hengshan, pass them on to those talents, and let them distinguish and choose by themselves. What I Hengshan needs is for us Approved talents, rather than introducing a group of opponents, disturbing the unity of our Hengshan. Remember, talents, we pay attention to the lack of talents. So far, we still have to pursue the policy of focusing on training talents and supplementing the introduction of talents. Absolutely not Let us Hengshan fall into the big dye vat of Neo-Confucianism, and lose our original color."

Guo Huaili was shocked, and immediately bowed his head and said: "This subordinate understands."

"Of course, in order to show our Hengshan's thirst for talents, we still need to invite all the talents from all over the world to come to Hengshan." Lin Yifan thought about it, "Master Guo, you can set up recruiting halls in various places in Hengshan to entertain those who come to Hengshan." The world’s talents. Lead them to travel around Hengshan, let them know about our Hengshan, as to whether to go or stay, we don’t force it.”

"Your Excellency's move is really high." Guo Huaili couldn't help but praise when he heard the words, "With our current pioneering work in Hengshan, I'm afraid those talented people will be shocked. Those who have dissent will go away angrily, and those who admire him Resolutely stay, so that we can screen out the talents we want."

When everyone heard the words, they suddenly realized, and couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

PS: Who has eaten fried locusts?Anyway, I dare not eat it.
