Chapter 1688: Delicious Food Everywhere

Xianyuan County is part of Yanzhou, and there are many rumors here. For example, the Yellow Emperor was born here, and Shaohao established his capital here...

This kind of place can be called a land of outstanding people, and soon a wise man who influenced the world came out.

A wise man is naturally immortal and benefits his descendants. Since then, the descendants have multiplied and multiplied in the Xianyuan area, and they have grown larger and larger day by day.

"There are a lot of locusts."

In the quiet room, two men were sitting casually, with tea beside them. The tea spoons were still wet, which showed that they had just had a fight with each other.

The man with thick eyebrows smiled and said, "Don't worry about this, our family doesn't have to worry about food and drink."

The man at the bottom looked intently, "We don't have to worry about food and drink, but if we don't care about it, our family's harvest this year... They went to see it before. The two or three harvests are due to the blessing of our ancestors. Two or three percent... Those who farm will eat What?"

"This matter..." The thick-browed man glanced at him and said calmly, "Our family must set an example."

"But..." The man raised his eyebrows, and the man with thick eyebrows snorted, "There is a locust plague on Jingdong Road. If our tenant farmers starve to death, believe it or not, someone will take the opportunity to impeach him."

"Who dares?" The man below raised his head slightly and let out a fierce breath.

"Shen An!" The thick-browed man slowly stretched out his hand and stroked the tea cup with his slender fingers, "He is in Xia County now. That person... is hard to say."

"He doesn't have the courage!" The man said disdainfully: "He can make trouble with Sima Guang and the others, and he can make trouble with the scholar-bureaucrats, but my family is different. If Shen An dares to attack our family, he will reap the consequences!"

The man with thick eyebrows shook his head slightly. At this time, there were rapid footsteps outside. He frowned and said: "Calm down!"

The footsteps slowed down, and a man came in later, but it was the man in Tsing Yi who had secretly fought with Shen An in Xia County.

"Mr. Lang..."

When the man in green came in, he took a deep breath and then saluted.

The man with thick eyebrows picked up the tea spoon and said calmly: "What do Han Qi and Shen An mean?"

The man in green took a breath, then raised his head and said, "Lang Jun, Han Qi is pretending to be stupid, but Shen An doesn't agree."

"Brother!" The man looked at the thick-browed man and said angrily, "Then Shen An is really arrogant!"

"But what can you do?" The man with thick eyebrows played with the tea spoon, "He is Shen Longtu, he is a famous general of the Song Dynasty, and he is also a rookie of the New Party trusted by the officials... What can our family do?

Our family seems to have a good reputation, but the emperors of the Song Dynasty like to find some kind of balance. If our family takes the lead, it will be a taboo, so..."

He raised his head, smiled and asked, "Shen An won't agree?"

The man in green nodded, "He was quite disdainful. He also said that he was a master of miscellaneous studies. He seemed to be on an equal footing with our family..."

"Is he worthy?"

The man at the bottom laughed angrily, "His so-called miscellaneous studies are just an academy. Give him a hundred years and a thousand years, and the miscellaneous studies will still be miscellaneous studies. This person's tone... really means that the ignorant are fearless."

The man with thick eyebrows said calmly: "Who gives a young man the courage to stand on an equal footing with Confucianism that has been passed down for thousands of years? Who gives him the courage to look down on my family?"

The man in green said: "I heard him and Han Qi say that this locust plague will be completely defeated."

"Victory?" The thick-browed man sighed, then raised his glass and said with a frown, "The tea is cold, let's go..."

The servant next to him was about to go out to change the tea, but the man with thick eyebrows took a sip and said, "Ask someone to check, there is a locust plague on Jingdong Road. Those old farmers know it, let them check carefully to see how this year's locust plague is."

"yes!"

The servant went.

The sun rose and set. The next day, the servants came with a few old farmers.

"They're afraid to come in."

Several old farmers didn't even dare to raise their heads. The man with thick eyebrows smiled and said, "That's all."

"How about the locust plague? Maybe it's gone?"

An old farmer said: "It's difficult. Mr. Lang, this locust plague is more powerful than before."

"In the past... I remember that the locust plague was very severe one year, and many people were forced to become refugees. Is it worse this time than that time?" The man with thick eyebrows asked with a frown.

"yes."

"Give them some money." The thick-browed man waved his hand, and a servant led the old farmers out.

The interior is quiet.

After a long time, the man with thick eyebrows said quietly: "Then Shen An is young and promising, but he doesn't have a good reputation?"

The man nodded, "Brother, Shen An is domineering and breaks people's legs at every turn. He is also a leader of the New Deal. There are few people in the world who don't hate him."

"That's inappropriate." The thick-browed man smiled.

The man raised his head, frowned and said, "Brother, do we still have to help our family become famous? I can't do such a thing as helping an enemy."

"Why can't it be done?" The man with thick eyebrows said with a smile: "Since he said he can eliminate the locust plague, it is a good thing. It is a good thing that benefits Jingdong Road. We should promote it for him."

The man was startled, then suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Brother, you are trying to fight him up. If the locust plague cannot be extinguished by then, he will not be able to get down... In this way, the people on Jingdong Road will vent their anger on him."

"The people are so ignorant." The man with thick eyebrows said with a concern for the country and the people: "If this locust plague cannot be suppressed, the locusts will fly. After eating one place, they will fly to the next place. Those people have lost their harvest and are in despair. They will have hatred. But who can they hate? Locusts? That is a natural disaster. So Shen An, who made a promise that he could eliminate the locust plague, is the best candidate. "

He took a deep breath and chanted: "The altar is ready..."

…

"The officials have already agreed..."

Han Qi was very excited and rushed into Shen An's room. Seeing that he was in a daze, he slapped the table and said, "The official order has been launched in various places and the ducks have begun to be collected."

"It's a little late." There were several pieces of paper in front of Shen An. Han Qi picked up one and looked at it. It was full of inexplicable numbers and various symbols.

"What do you mean?" Han Qi asked.

“Water from afar cannot quench a thirst that is near!”

Shen An analyzed: "The ducks have been collected from various places and have to be transported. How long does it take to come and go? Those locusts have already eaten and drank enough and flew to the next place."

A locust suddenly flew in from nowhere and landed in front of Han Qi's eyes.

Han Qi slapped his forehead, and the locust was turned into dregs. There was something grey-green on his forehead, which looked a little disgusting.

"You, you! Just wait until the ducks gather and destroy them, hey!"

He suddenly exclaimed, "Do you want to eliminate the locust plague in Xia County?"

"No." Shen An said: "It is inevitable that Xia County and the surrounding areas will have a bad harvest this year. I am thinking about how to control the ducks in Yanzhou."

“Use Yanzhou to trap locusts?”

Han Qi smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "You're so thoughtful, I'll go take a look in the fields."

Shen An sat there for a long time, searching in his mind for all kinds of information about locusts in future generations.

The human brain is really amazing. It can mobilize memories from the past, which reminded Shen An of computers.

He sat there in a daze and occasionally wrote something.

"Shen Long Tu!"

Someone came outside, but it was Hu Xicheng.

"Hu Yun made this..."

Lao Hu looked a little angry and looked for tea as soon as he came in. Shen An made him a cup.

"Tsk! Is this fried tea?" Hu Xicheng seemed not used to drinking fried tea.

"What's the matter?" Shen An sat down and took a sip of tea, feeling it tasted great.

Hu Xicheng said: "There are rumors outside that you vowed to wipe out locusts in Yanzhou."

this……

The first thing Shen An thought of was a traitor.

But the time is wrong!

It was only more than half an hour before he told Han Qi about this matter. There were no mobile phones and telegrams these days. How could the outside world react so quickly?

Then it's not a traitor.

He smiled and said, "I want to put someone on the fire! If not, the people affected by the disaster will naturally target Shen."

"That's right. I've already asked someone to investigate. If I find out who spread the rumor, I'll make him regret it!"

"This matter... is not inoperable."

Shen An felt hungry.

He felt really hungry.

He suddenly laughed.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Shen Longtu!" Hu Xicheng was worried that he would collapse under the pressure, and said worriedly: "Are you okay?"

"No problem!" Shen An said and laughed again.

"Who did this?"

Han Qi came back with an angry look on his face, "There was no outsider present when I was talking to you. Even if there were, it would take half a day for the rumor to come out. Who is this?"

It seemed that Lao Han had learned the art of war in vain, and he immediately saw the core of the incident.

"This matter cannot be underestimated." Han Qi said seriously: "The people will place their hopes on this rumor now. If the locusts cross Yanzhou and Anbei, you will be in big trouble. Once those people make trouble, you will be the chief culprit. The culprit!"

"But what if someone can kill the locusts?"

Shen An said calmly. UU Reading www.uukaｎshu.net

"Can you kill the locusts?" Han Qi said with a smile: "If so, I will treat you to a drink when you return to the capital. You can choose any place in the capital."

"Okay, that's what I said!" I heard that a new restaurant has recently opened in Bianliang. The food inside is said to be the best, and the price is naturally high.

It’s not bad to let Lao Han bleed!

Shen An was in a very happy mood.

"How to do it?" Han Qi and Hu Xicheng were both looking at him.

Shen An said: "Let's go out and take a look."

The sky is still full of locusts, but after the ducks attack them, the density has become much smaller.

"Xiang Han, what did you see?"

"locust!"

Shen An said: "What I saw was... delicious food."

"What kind of food?"

"Get some locusts!"

After Shen An finished explaining, Li Baojiu took action and soon got hundreds of locusts.

"Everyone, take a look."

Remove the locust's head and wings...then clean it, and then fry it in a pan.

"Hmm...it smells a bit...spicy."

At this moment, many people came around, swallowing their saliva around the stove.

Heat the oil in the pan again, add ginger and garlic, add locusts and stir-fry, add hot sauce...

"Start the pot!"

"Taste it."

Everyone had a few of them, and they all ate them up in a short time.

"Not bad, not bad." Han Qi said with a red face: "This thing can actually become a delicacy. Send the order and let the people make it."

"People's homes are short of oil." An official dismissed Han Qi's idea.
