Chapter 83: Get a pound of locusts to try
chatting and chatting, seeing that breakfast time had passed, a group of officials also left one after another. On the topic of how to deal with locusts, it is natural to leave it to the government to continue to discuss it, and today it is necessary to reach a conclusion and then implement it immediately.
"It's really ......" Wang Yong actually wanted to complain, wouldn't it be good to just let people eat the locusts? In later generations, this thing is directly a delicacy in many places.
However, reasonable people know that the locust plague that has already formed cannot be eaten by relying on a few foodies. It takes a long time to cultivate this market, and even the top foodies can't eat it every day. Many people just taste the taste, and not everyone is a Dian Wei......
"Shopkeeper, do you know a solution?" Liu Li asked coldly.
"Why do you think that?" Wang Yong was stunned for a moment, and then asked curiously.
"Everyone was pondering just now, but you seem to know it well." Liu Li looked at Wang Yong suspiciously.
"I know how to deal with it, but I can't do it without practice. Besides, I'm a cook, and I don't plan to do that kind of strategist. Wang Yong shrugged his shoulders and continued to get busy.
The officials are indeed finished, but many diners are coming one after another. As a result of earlier plans, the price of corn and sorghum has fallen, and many people have been able to buy some. Especially those families, there are a lot of people who think they can speculate on the price, but who knows that they can't fry it, so they simply exchange it for something delicious.
At present, only Wang Yong and Liu Li are relied on to entertain guests, and I feel that there is a little lack of manpower. As for Yang Xiu, after finishing this hour's work, he had already gone to the back kitchen to wash dishes. In fact, according to her original statement: "Miss Ben is a genius, even if she is reduced to a cook, she should not do this kind of miscellaneous work!" ”
Wang Yong directly scolded her: "It's a pity, I'm the chef!" The yamen is short of money and can't hire so many handymen, I, who is the head chef, have to do this kind of chores, you are a cook, what right do you have to complain there? ”
Yang Xiu was immediately frightened, but he still obediently went to the back kitchen to wash the dishes.
"I'm back!" An hour later, Guo Jia came back again, went back to the second floor to change clothes and prepare to help.
"Just right, wait a minute and help cut the mutton!" Wang Yong answered in the back kitchen, "How's the discussion?" ”
"The lord intends to pay someone to help with the eviction, although this will cause financial problems again. But food is the key rather than finance! Guo Jia came to Wang Yong and said in a low voice.
This is a relatively confidential matter, and there are outsiders in the store, so it is naturally difficult to say it publicly.
"When will the preparation begin?" Wang Yong asked, even if it is to be suggested, it will take a few days to conduct the experiment.
"That is, it will start in these three days, and it is likely to be the day after tomorrow!" Guo Jia looked left and right, and then said in a low voice.
"In this case, it's okay......" Wang Yong nodded, then looked at Liu Li and ordered, "Help take a look at the store, I'll go to Wanshiwu, and I'll be back in about a quarter of an hour!" ”
"Okay!" Liu Li was cutting mutton and responded when he heard the words.
The best place for mutton has been left by Wang Yong, and it will be eaten directly in hot pot tonight, and the rest of the officials who are not very good will be cheaper to come to eat at noon. It depends on the situation, during that time in the afternoon, I hope to be able to earn some more.
Wang Yong left the restaurant, and in more than ten minutes, he came to Wanshiwu and reported Wen Ming's name, and the latter came out in a short time.
"Shopkeeper, what services do you need from Masterhouse?" Wen Ming greeted him with a smile of business etiquette.
"There are two things that need your attention! Of course, how much should be paid! Wang Yong was a little polite at first, and then cut straight to the point, "I need Wanshiwu to provide me with a pound of locusts and send it to the restaurant for me." Also, tonight, I want the house to light a bonfire near the fields outside the city and see if we can attract locusts to fly over. ”
"But the shopkeeper is planning to target the recent locust plague?" Wen Ming immediately heard the crux of the matter.
"If handled properly, the damage of locust plagues may be minimized. But if you really want to calm down, you still need the friendship support of Wanshiwu. Wang Yong didn't hide it.
"Oh, let's hear it! If the locust plague can be quelled, even if the house suffers a little loss, it will be nothing! At the end of the day, a coquettish voice came out, but it was Zhang Chunhua, the director of Dongjun, who walked out.
"It's very simple, the house prepares a large number of chickens, ducks and geese, and then rushes to the place where the locust plague is infested. In this way, some of the locusts can be eaten, and the key is that chickens, ducks and geese can also quickly fatten up in the process, and after the locust plague is over, the profit from selling them is estimated to be higher than the cost of gathering them. Wang Yong proposed.
"Indeed, we are the only ones who can mobilize chickens, ducks and geese on a large scale. What you said makes a lot of sense, I will report it and mobilize it immediately in the last two days! Zhang Chunhua thought for a while, and finally made a decision directly.
As Wang Yong said, this is not only a good opportunity to advertise, the key is that it is really profitable, and it can even sell Cao Cao a good deal, killing three birds with one stone, there is no reason not to do it.
"But I have to be communiquéed with the Lord, I don't think she likes others to make their own decisions!" Wang Yong reminded.
"This rule, we naturally know, should we also report the name of the shopkeeper?" Zhang Chunhua asked.
"No, I just want to be a cook silently." Wang Yong shook his head, it is certainly a good thing to be in the limelight. However, all kinds of troubles often come after being in the limelight again and again.
"In this way, we still owe a favor to the shopkeeper, and if we want to help with Wanshiwu in the future, just ask!" Zhang Chunhua is also a good person, and he promised it directly when he heard the words.
Wang Yong smiled, there was no need to say anything at this time, just nodded and left.
"What is he going to do if he wants a pound of locusts?" After Wang Yong left, Zhang Chunhua immediately asked. Apparently, she was lurking on the sidelines for some time.
"It's hard to say if it's someone else, if it's the owner, it is estimated that he plans to cook ......" Wen Ming was a little undecided.
"Can you eat that thing?" Zhang Chunhua suddenly showed a disgusted expression.
"So, if I change someone else's words, I guess I will also scoff at it!" Wen Ming shook his head, "But if it's Shopkeeper Wang, maybe he can really turn decay into magic." It's just that it's hard to imagine how the locusts are going to cook. ”
First of all, it's visually hard to accept. Whether it's boiled or fried, just looking at the locust, you can't accept it physiologically, let alone eat it ruthlessly!
But the house of everything is the house of everything, someone pays for it, they do things, it's nothing more than that. Zhang Chunhua didn't care how Wang Yong planned to cook, he directly waived the labor fee, and it wasn't worth a lot of money anyway!
Of course, Wang Yong didn't know that when he returned to the store, it was almost lunchtime. Wash your hands and get to work.
