Chapter 90: The Furious Chen Gong
Long after Wanshiwu announced Cao Cao's order, Lu Bu naturally received the news.
"This Cao Cao is willing to disperse money and eliminate disasters under such circumstances. It is so sincere that it is a bit unreasonable if we don't help her!" Chen Gong looked at the news and immediately smiled.
Lu Bu basically let her go of government affairs. Just to act, he also needs to say to Lu Bu. This is the most basic etiquette as a subject.
"Lord!" Chen Gong went to Lu Bu's residence. The latter had obviously just finished exercising and was covered in sweat. The whole yard was filled with the smell of female hormones, which made Chen Gong, who was originally excited, become intoxicated.
Hey... Why is the lord's body fragrance so strong? This fragrance is unbearable! Chen Gong twitched his nose greedily, as if he was unwilling to let go of even a little bit of the smell.
"……………” Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong and tilted his head.
"Hug, sorry!" Chen Gong immediately reacted, "Lord, my subordinates learned that Cao Cao was ordering people to buy locusts. The locust plague here is also very powerful. Why not organize people to collect locusts and sell them to Wanshi House in a unified manner?"
Of course, the people would do it, and Cao Cao's orders took care of them. However, this was a good opportunity to earn military pay, and Chen Gong felt that the more he earned, the more Cao Cao lost. The addition of the two would also be beneficial to Lu Bu's battle for Yanzhou!
"………………” Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong, then nodded.
"I will do it immediately! I will leave!" After receiving Lu Bu's reply, Chen Gong immediately turned around and said goodbye.
"Xin..." Lu Bu subconsciously raised his hand, and saw the meal, he wanted to keep Chen Gong down for a meal, but Chen Gongtai was still a little anxious. The biggest problem was that he was not good at speaking...
It’s not considered aphasia. It was only when she served as a female official in the palace for a while that she realized the truth of “to say too much and make mistakes”. Over time, she became taciturn. Even if she left the palace now, she couldn’t reply. The key was that she didn’t plan to change it back.
Chen Gong once said that a lord who maintains a sense of mystery at any time can make his subordinates respect him.
"Continue..." Lu Bu picked up the Fang Tian Hua Ji beside him and began to continue training.
Chen Gong got Lu Bu's permission and directly ordered the entire army to capture locusts and then sell them to Wanshiwu one after another. Since he was using the army directly, he naturally did not need to pay extra money. In two days, he caught a lot and sold them all.
"I can buy some food in this way..." Chen Gong smiled at the reward paid by Wanshiwu. He especially thought that Cao Cao had to pay another fee and was in a better mood.
But she didn't know that at this moment, the Sunshine Breakfast Sales in several counties around Zhencheng launched a new menu.
Earlier, due to the severe lack of flour, Sunshine Breakfast began to use rice products as breakfast. Scrape powder, rice noodles, and vegetarian flour are popular. Among them, vegetarian flour is very cheap, which costs two cents a bowl. Although the soup is clear soup, it is made of beef bones or sheep bones, at least chicken bones, and with chopped green onions, the taste is indeed good.
It is rare to be cheap, and many people can afford it. They feel better about sunny breakfast and will not come here to eat it just because they change the menu. Sunny breakfast has also gradually established a reputation in such an environment.
"Locust vegetable?" Today, the people who came to eat found a new menu at the entrance of the store, each serving of fried locusts and each serving of tempura 5.
"Yes, in order to support the feat of governor Cao, our Sunshine Breakfast launched locust dishes. On the one hand, the acquisition of locusts from the government has shared some pressure for the government. On the other hand, the founder of our Sunshine Breakfast found that the locusts tasted good after frying, and I also hope to promote it a little." The clerk explained enthusiastically.
"It's not affordable to eat ten-month... Five-month is a little expensive..." The people knew it was a locust, so they were a little disgusted. Hua Wuwen was a little reluctant to eat locusts.
"A portion of locust tempura is three pieces. In other words, each person can buy it for two quotations. The last quotation can be added to a portion of clear soup." The clerk said with a smile.
"If you want to write two articles... try?" The people who came looked at each other and several people bought two copies together to try it out.
Immediately, a chef took the iced fresh locusts and wrapped them in the batter and fryed them. Listening to the "sizzling" sound was a kind of enjoyment. The air was filled with a smell of fried, which was very fragrant.
"Is this the smell of locusts?" Some people were immediately confused.
"No, it should be the taste of the batter!" Anyway, some people don't believe it is the taste of the locusts after being beaten to death.
Soon, two portions of locust tempura were fryed out directly. Yes, the five people raised ten cents and bought two portions of locust tempura. However, the problem was that one more yuan was added. Among the people who paid the money, there was a couple who took a child with them. The last piece was tacitly given to the child. This was a girl.
"Kaz..." After taking a bite, although it was not as luxurious as mayonnaise, it still felt very fragrant if you eat it alone.
"Is this the taste of locusts? It's not bad!" Some people exclaimed immediately.
"What does it mean to be not bad?" The partner next to him immediately retorted, "It tastes really good!"
"How many two portions are? You must know that one pound of fresh locusts is only one penny..." Someone suddenly felt heartbroken. He used less than two taels of locusts for a portion of tempura, but he actually collected five pennies.
"What stupid things do you mean? Batter and frying always cost money!" The partner next to him retorted. Indeed, batter and oil cost money, the key is that they are generally reluctant to use so much oil to fry. In this way, five cents are considered fair.
"It's indeed Sunshine Breakfast. It tastes good, and the price is rare and fair." Many people nodded silently. No matter what, the reputation of Sunshine Breakfast has been completely established.
Some people eat well, but naturally some people want to try it. People who try it out have appeared one after another in various places, and then some people are addicted to it. After eating tempura, they ordered another fried locust with salt and salt flavor. They ate this bowl of rice, "smash it, smash it, smash it", and the scene was really envious.
As time slowly passed, five days later, many people already knew that locusts could be eaten, but at least more than 80% of the locusts were acquired by Wanshiwu and Cao Cao. They were then sold to the Sunshine Breakfast Chain.
"It's delicious..." Lu Bu received the news later, and tried to fry a plate himself, and then ate it with a savory taste.
"Damn Cao Cao!" Chen Gong was consuming and scolding, "Who could have thought that locusts could be eaten? Cao Cao made a lot of money now, and we have lost a lot of money!"
Although he has made a fortune, he is not even worthy of soup compared to Cao Cao's side.
"There has been a lot of changes with Cao Cao recently..." Zhang Liao, who was standing by, seemed thoughtful.
"We must investigate clearly who is helping Cao Cao!" Chen Gong also realized this problem and immediately shouted.
