Chapter 51 Locusts Tengda

Picture of the rooster crowing and rising sun!

Li Youcai knew that Lin Fan had this picture and also knew the value of this painting. He had been coveting this painting for a long time.

"Mr. Lin is serious?"

Li Youcai confirmed.

"Of course it's true. I'll give you five hundred taels of silver. I'll pay you six hundred taels. If you can't pay it back, I'll pay you the drawings. I can give you the letter."

Lin Fan said.

Li Youcai immediately took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, asked Lin Fan to establish a document, and then ordered someone to take 500 taels of silver to Lin Fan.

In the next two days, the county towns sent locusts to Siping County.

"Haha! The county magistrate of Siping County is really a fool. He also collects locusts from other county towns. Do you really think the prefect will miss him?"

"Hehe! The county magistrate of Siping County is really not very good at brains. If it were me, he would have solved the locusts in his own county and would never care about other counties."

"Shh! Let's not talk about so much. Go back and collect locusts and rush over to sell them. It's too late. This idiot reacted, but he won't accept it!"

Merchants and some opportunistic people from all over the world quickly returned to their county towns to collect locusts. The locust plague in Liuzhou was almost solved in less than three days.

It can be said that the people's power is still very powerful. As long as they have motivation, locusts will cry.

Lin Fan looked at the locusts piled up in the county government and felt that the time was almost over.

"Shili, you transport a batch of these locusts to the restaurant and tell the chef to be careful not to break the locusts' bodies, slowly fry them with oil until golden, and take them out and put them in. I will sell them all."

Lin Fan said.

"Ah! Sir! Can these disgusting locusts be eaten?"

Shi Li said in shock.

"This is natural. What do these locusts eat? They are wheat, cattle, and sheep eat grass and can still be eaten. Why can't they eat wheat that locusts eat?"

Lin Fan asked back.

"this……"

It is still hard to imagine the scene of the locust being eaten.

"Just do what I told you, and gather local merchants and I will invite them to dinner tonight."

Lin Fan said.

At this time, the county government was filled with locusts, and Wang Xier and Liu Huihui were forced to move together. As for Liu Yuanqi and Wang Sanxi, they found a place to build a floor shop, and the places were empty to release locusts.

Now that I heard that Lin Fan wanted to pull the locusts out and sell them, he showed joy and finally he could get rid of these locusts.

"Brother Lin Fan, can these insects really be eaten?"

Wang Xier asked.

“It’s edible, and it tastes pretty good.”

Lin Fan smiled.

"How is it possible? These bugs look so disgusting, I really can't eat them."

Liu Huihui whispered.

"Haha! If Huihui doesn't like to eat it, she can't eat it, but you can't enjoy the deliciousness of this locust."

Lin Fan smiled.

Shi Li and the yamen runners sent away hundreds of jin. The restaurant business was very bad. The chef had not worked for the past few days, and his first job is to fry locusts.

The hundreds of kilograms of locusts were completely fried golden according to Lin Fan's request, and a tempting fragrance came to his nose, and everyone present was shocked.

"this!"

"How come the smell of this locust is so fragrant?"

Someone sighed.

A brave chef picked up one and took a bite.

Kaz!

This taste is so crispy, giving people a feeling of being enormous. After taking a bite, I want to have another bite.

"Oh my god! This taste is simply perfect! I can't imagine that locusts can also be eaten!"

A chef said in shock.

"Yes! Lord Lin is simply a genius. He actually knew that locusts could be eaten, so he bought them in advance!"

Another person said.

After tasting the locusts, they all praised the taste of the locusts. When they learned about the taste of the locusts, they were even more vigorously. The hundreds of kilograms of locusts were all fried in less than a short while.

In the evening, merchants in Siping County were invited by Lin Fan to Siji Restaurant, and Li Youcai also came. As for the Zhao family and Liu family, none of them were present.

Lin Fan nodded with satisfaction at the merchants gathered in the restaurant, including hundreds of people of all sizes.

If you can get help from these people, your locusts will probably not be enough to eat.

"Mr. Lin, why did you come to us for?"

One person asked.

"Hmph! What else can it be for? Lord Lin has made contributions to the disaster relief this time, but the money is gone, and the people of Siping County are still hungry. Of course, they are asking us for money."

Li Youcai said contemptuously.

When they heard what Li Youcai said, the merchants present felt nervous and felt that it was a Hongmen banquet to come here today.

"Haha, don't think too much. Today I am not asking you for money, but treating you to a dish, a dish you have never eaten before."

Lin Fan smiled.

"Yeah? It's not that you want money. We have never eaten before. Today I want to see what kind of flowers can Lord Lin create."

Li Youcai said contemptuously.

"The name of this dish is called Feiluo Tengda. The raw materials are absolutely unthinkable. Come on, bring the dish."

Lin Fan smiled.

Several servants appeared with plates of locusts and placed them on the table in front of these merchants.

Seeing the locusts being blown up golden and placed in front of him, these merchants felt disgusted and couldn't help but sit back.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Everyone, these locusts eat wheat, but they eat cleaner than cows and sheep, so the taste is also very good."

"Haha, can this thing be eaten? I don't believe it."

Li Youcai said.

"Since that's the case, I'll take the first sip first, you can also try it. It tastes really good."

Lin Fan said with a smile.

Then, under the eyes of everyone, I took the first bite.

"Yeah! It's very good. This year's locusts are very fat because they eat a lot of food."

Lin Fan couldn't help but admire.

Seeing that Lin Fan had eaten, the merchants present also tried it. As a result, when they took a bite, their eyes widened.

"This! How could it be so delicious!"

"That's so delicious! I've grown up and never had such delicious food!"

Kaz!

The sounds of rejecting the locusts came one after another, and all the locusts in front of them were eaten up. The merchants present looked at Lin Fan.

"Everyone, do you still feel disgusting about locusts?"

Lin Fan asked.

"Not disgusting anymore! After the locust is fried, it tastes crispy and has no good taste."

Li Youcai couldn't help but exclaim.

His eyes shone brightly, and he already knew what Lin Fan meant. These locusts were probably going to be made into dishes and sold for takeout.

For top dishes, such as chicken, duck, fish, etc., a plate ranges from two cents of silver. The locust should be able to sell for this price, and a plate is less than half a pound.
