After a day of struggle, the soldiers were still excited and did not feel tired at all.
"Compared with marching and fighting, or even training, the amount of exercise involved in catching locusts is nothing more than drizzle.
"My lord, it's getting late now, we should go back to the camp to do an inventory." Guo Jiadao.
Liu Ke once ordered that a pound of locusts be paid 500 yuan.
The reason why the soldiers are so happy is that they are waiting to receive the money.
Liu Ke paid for all this money himself.
Although Guo Jia and others disagreed, they said nothing in the end.
Locusts are more expensive than food!
Everyone thinks that Liu Ke is giving benefits to the soldiers.
??In fact, this is indeed the case.
Liu Ke was also very pleased to see the smiles on the faces of the soldiers.
"How many did you arrest, Fengxiao?" Liu Ke suddenly asked.
Guo Jia opened his sack, but it was empty. He obviously didn't like the few hundred dollars.
¡°My lord, these are all the work of the soldiers, how could I possibly rob them?¡±
"Fengxiao, you can do it now. If you're lazy, just say so. I won't blame you." Liu Kedao.
Guo Jia smiled and did not deny it.
"I believe you will regret it." Liu Kedao.
"How do you say this?" Guo Jiada said, obviously not believing that he would regret it.
"Don't you know, locusts are a delicacy?" Liu Kedao said.
Guo Jia¡¯s eyes widened. Not only did he die, but the eyes of everyone who heard these words also widened.
"My lord, please don't fool us." Guo Jiadao.
"I don't have this spare time." Liu Kedao said, "Gather all the generals, and I will teach you a craft. Let the soldiers learn it quickly while they are still settling accounts."
Immediately, Xu Chu, Lu Bu and others gathered around.
"First, let the locusts clear their feces." Liu Kedao.
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Liu Ke asked.
"My lord, do you want to squeeze in?" Guo Jia is more courageous, so he speaks unscrupulously. Liu Ke has long been used to it.
"Everything has its own nature." Liu Ke emphasized, "You guys, you should study more recently."
Next, Liu Ke cut off the locust's legs and wings and soaked them in concentrated salt water. Soon after, the locust spit out the black water in its belly.
This magical scene is shocking!
"Remember, you must soak the living locusts and forget about the dead ones." Liu Kedao.
¡°Then, put some salt and cooking wine in the locusts and marinate them for a while.¡±
"Put an appropriate amount of oil into the pot. After the oil is hot, put the grasshoppers into the pot and fry them slowly over low heat. When they are almost done, turn up the heat to force out the oil inside."
¡¡
By the time Liu Ke completed a series of operations, everyone had already smelled a scent.
Is this still an ugly locust?
Why is it so appetizing!
"Fengxiao, come and try it." Liu Kedao.
Although Locust Locust is very delicious, Guo Jia doesn¡¯t want to try it at all and quickly shakes his head.
"My lord, even if I starve to death, I won't eat bugs."
"This is an excellent dish to go with wine." Liu Kedao said.
Hearing these words, Guo Jia's eyes lit up.
Liu Ke took out a jar of good wine, and Guo Jia immediately changed his mind.
It smells so good!
After reluctantly tasting one, Guo Jia was out of control!
After eating more than a dozen, I remembered to take a sip of wine.
It¡¯s so cool!
This kind of delicious food makes Guo Jia linger.
Even a picky eater like Guo Jia ate with gusto, and everyone no longer resisted and started trying it one after another.
There are all generals present, so what does it matter if you eat bugs?
When you are hungry, you can even chew the bark!
Once you take it into your mouth, it tastes better than beef!
You must know that cattle are a weapon for farming, and the court does not allow the killing of cattle. Even in the prosperous Yangzhou, Liu Ke will not violate it easily.
We can only buy some beef cattle from the grassland and come back to try them out.
Therefore, the price of beef remains high.
However, they are just some small bugs, and they are more delicious than beef.
Unbelievable!
"How is it?" Liu Ke asked.
"My lord, I never thought that locusts could eat like this. Moreover, your craftsmanship is superb!" Guo Jiadao.
"Ordinary people can't afford it," Liu Kedao said.
Salt is easy to deal with, but oil is difficult to deal with.
But with Liu Ke here, everything is no problem.
In Rome, and even in all Mediterranean countries, olive oil is produced.
In the original history, the first olive tree was introduced into the country in 1964.
Liu Ke forcibly brought it forward nearly two thousand years, allowing the people of the Han Dynasty to eat fragrant olive oil.
Olive oil is known as "liquid gold", "vegetable oil queen" and "Mediterranean nectar" in the West.
In short, no matter which title, it means expensive.
However, this time Liu Ke was very generous and brought a lot of cooking oil and fine wine.
"Supply to each battalion on a per-capita basis," Liu Kedao said.
"Thank you, Lord!" the generals said excitedly.
God knows how much money Liu Ke spent to let his soldiers taste delicious food.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
The soldiers sang, danced, ate grasshoppers and drank wine until late at night.
A rare indulgence!
¡°I didn¡¯t expect these little bugs to be so delicious!¡±
"Nowadays, these little bugs can not only be exchanged for money, but also have military merits, and they can even be eaten. What reason do we have for not working hard?!"
As a result, locusts became a favorite among soldiers.
The next day, the Yangzhou Army burst out with unparalleled fighting spirit.
Fight to the death against the locusts!
Within a few days, all the locusts in Julu County were eaten up.
Even Liu Ke didn¡¯t expect that this would be the result.
The arrogant locusts were just wiped out?
Then news began to come from various counties that the large-scale locusts were no longer visible.
Liu Ke began to lead an army to destroy the eggs. This task was more difficult, but there were a large number of larvae in the field ridges.
As a last resort, fire attack was adopted.
??Light a fire and let these little guys destroy themselves, or wait for them to gather and catch them all.
The work of eradicating locusts has been arduous, and now it has been completed neatly!
Because there was a large army in action, the people of Jizhou stayed at home and did not go out. Suddenly, the army retreated.
When they came out to take a look, they were stunned. The locusts had disappeared. A radius of twenty miles was completely empty. As for places farther away, they could not detect them.
However, as they communicated with nearby villages, they gradually gathered the news.
The locust plague is really over!
It ended inexplicably!
"Could it be that Dongyang Hou prayed to the Insect God while we were not paying attention?"
However, countless locust corpses were found in their fields.
¡°This time, the legend of Liu Ke¡¯s devil is further confirmed.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡
When the news reached Bingzhou, Cao Pi was shocked. The locust plague that he was helpless to deal with was easily solved when it arrived in Jizhou?
Could it be that there was no locust plague in Jizhou? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
