Chapter 90: The Angry Chen Palace

As early as after Wanshiwu announced Cao Cao's order, Lu Bu's side naturally received the news.

"This Cao Cao, under such circumstances, is actually willing to scatter wealth and eliminate disasters. It's so sincere, we don't help her, it's a bit unreasonable! Chen Gong looked at the news and immediately smiled.

In terms of government affairs, Lu Bu basically let it go to her. It's just that if you want to act, you still need to talk to Lu Bu, this is the most basic etiquette as a courtier.

"Lord!" Chen Gong made his way to Lu Bu's residence, who had apparently just finished his workout and was drenched in sweat. The smell of estrogen in the entire courtyard made Chen Gong, who was originally excited, directly become intoxicated.

Hey...... Why is the body fragrance of the lord so strong, this fragrance is unbearable! Chen Gong twitched his nose greedily, as if he was unwilling to let go of even the slightest hint of taste.

"............" Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong and tilted his head.

"Hug, sorry!" Chen Gong immediately reacted, "My lord, my subordinates have learned that Cao Cao is ordering people to buy locusts. The locust plague on our side is also very bad, so why don't we organize people to collect locusts and sell them to Wanshiwu? ”

Of course, the people will do it, and Cao Cao's orders have taken care of them. However, this is a good opportunity to earn military salaries, and Chen Gong feels that the more he earns, the more Cao Cao loses, and the combination of the two is also good for Lu Bu to compete for Yanzhou!

"............" Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong, and then nodded.

"My subordinates will do it immediately! Subordinates retire! After receiving Lu Bu's reply, Chen Gong immediately turned around and left.

"Xin ......" Lu Bu subconsciously raised his hand, seeing the meal, he wanted to stay in Chen Gong to come down for a meal, but this Chen Gongtai was still a little anxious. And the biggest problem is that I am not good at words......

It's not aphasia, it's just that she served as a female official in the palace for a while, and she knew the truth of 'saying more wrong', and over time she became silent, even if she left the palace now, she couldn't recover, and the key was that she didn't plan to change it back.

Chen Gong said that only a lord who maintains a sense of mystery at all times can make his subordinates fearful.

"Following ...... ......" Lu Bu picked up the Fang Tian painting halberd on the side and began to continue training.

Chen Gong got Lu Bu's permission and directly ordered the whole army to catch locusts, and then sell them to Wanshiwu one after another. Since it is a direct use of the army, there is naturally no need to give additional money, and in two days, a lot of them were caught, and they were directly sold.

"This way I can buy a little bit of food again......" Chen Gong smiled as he looked at the payment paid by Wanshiwu. Especially thinking that Cao Cao had to pay a fee for this, and he was in a better mood.

She didn't know that at this time, the Sunshine Breakfast Stores in several counties around Zhencheng launched new menus.

Earlier, due to the severe shortage of flour, Sunshine Breakfast started to switch to rice products for breakfast. Scraping powder, rice powder, and vegetarian powder are popular. Among them, vegetarian noodles are very cheap, two pennies a bowl. Although the soup is a clear soup, it is made with beef or mutton bones, at least chicken bones, and with chopped green onions, the taste is really good.

It's hard to get cheap, and many people can afford it, and they feel better about the sunny breakfast, and they won't come here because of the change of menu. And Sunshine Breakfast has also slowly established a reputation in such an environment.

"Locust dish?" Today, the people who came to eat found that a new menu appeared at the entrance of the store, one copy of fried locust ten wen, and one locust tempura five wen.

"Yes, in order to support Cao Tingshi's feat, we at Sunshine Breakfast introduced locust dishes. On the one hand, the government buys locusts to share some pressure for the government, and on the other hand, the founder of our Sunshine Breakfast found that the locusts taste good after being fried, and he also hopes to promote it a little. The clerk explained enthusiastically.

"I can't afford to eat Shiwen...... Wuwen is also a little expensive...... "The people knew that it was locusts, and they were a little disgusted, and they were a little reluctant to spend Wuwen to eat locusts."

"There are three pieces of locust tempura, which means that each person can buy it for two yuan, and the last one can just add a clear soup." The clerk said with a smile.

"Two words...... Try? The people looked at each other, and several of them bought two copies to try.

Immediately, there is a chef who takes the chilled fresh locusts, wraps them in batter and deep-deep-fries. Listening to the sound of "zizi" is a kind of enjoyment. The smell of frying fills the air, and it is fragrant.

"This is the smell of locusts?" Some people were puzzled.

"No, it's supposed to be the taste of batter!" Anyway, some people killed and didn't believe it was the smell of locusts.

After a while, the fried two servings of locust tempura were directly served. Yes, the five of them scraped together a full ten pennies and bought two copies of locust tempura. However, the problem is that there is an extra piece, and among the people who just paid for it, there is a couple with a child, and the last piece is tacitly given to the child, which is a girl.

I took a bite of "Kazi ......", and although it was not as luxurious as mayonnaise, it still felt very fragrant when I ate it alone.

"That's what locusts smell like? It's not unpleasant! Some of the people immediately exclaimed.

"What do you mean by not being unpalatable?" The partner next to him immediately retorted, "The taste is really good!" ”

"How much is two? You must know that fresh locusts are only one penny per catty...... "Suddenly some people felt heartache, and a tempura didn't need two or two locusts, and they actually received five wen."

"What stupid things are you talking about? Batter and frying always cost money! The partner next to him retorted. It is true that both batter and oil cost money, and the point is that they are generally reluctant to use so much oil for frying. In this way, the five cents are also fair.

"It's indeed a sunny breakfast, it tastes good, and the price is fair." Many people nodded silently. In any case, the reputation of Sunshine Breakfast has been thoroughly established.

Some people eat well, and naturally some people want to try it, and people who try it appear one after another in various places, and then some people are directly addicted to eating. After eating tempura, I ordered a salt-and-pepper fried locust, and ate this bowl of rice "smash, smash, smash", and the picture was really envious of others.

As time slowly passed, five days later, many people already knew the news that locusts could be eaten, but at least more than eighty percent of the locusts had been purchased by Wanshiwu and Cao Cao. It was then sold to the Sunshine Breakfast chain.

"Delicious ......" Lu Bu also received the news later, and he tried to fry a plate, and then ate it deliciously.

"Damn Cao Cao!" Chen Gong scolded bitterly while eating, "Who would have thought that locusts could actually be eaten?" Now Cao Cao has made a big profit, and our side has lost a lot! ”

Although he also made money, compared to Cao Cao's side, his side was not even soup at all.

"Recently, Cao Cao's side has changed a lot......" Zhang Liao on the side thought thoughtfully.

"We must investigate clearly, who is helping Cao Cao!" Chen Gong was also aware of this problem and immediately shouted.
