It is written some precautions such as the confidentiality of the product, and after the sale of some suggestions, and their market positioning, and a management system for these people.
But it is these things to see Zhang Gao excited, like a treasure.
But if Li Chengqian told him, these are some of the fur, that is, see more, know a little, really great he will not do anything, I do not know Zhang Gao will be a kind of expression.
But these Zhang Gao is destined to never know in this life.
And now Li Chengqian after coming out from there, took Xiao Anzi and those guards to walk slowly on the road, Li Chengqian poked his head out from the carriage from time to time, just like a curious baby.
”Xiao Anzi, what’s the matter with the crowd in front, go and take a look” Just as Li Chengqian was walking around and came to the Mingde Gate and was ready to go back, he saw a large group of ragged people standing there being stopped by the soldiers of the city guards, Li Chengqian hurriedly instructed Xiao Anzi to go and take a look.
Get the order of the small Anzi immediately ran like that group of people, after inquiring clearly what is going on hurry back to tell Li Chengqian.
It turned out that these people are farmers from other counties in Guanzhong, thinking that they were plagued by locusts, so they left their hometowns and wanted to come to Chang’an to make a living.
Know the reason for Li Chengqian from the carriage down, looking at the people in front of him, Li Chengqian heart a lot of emotion, and fortunate, he is crossing and possessed to the Da Tang Prince, otherwise encountered such a natural disaster, possessed to the farmers, and now he will be the same as them in order to eat, live and struggling hard.
Will not be like now, food without their own to care, even think of how to eat and drink well, toilet also do not want to think of them as with the leaves, toilet chips, the whole of their own don’t want to.
This was the height he was at that determined his different life.
”Wait, what the hell am I lamenting, locust plague, that’s not to say, there are grasshoppers everywhere now, that’s a good thing ah” As a person who grew up in the South of the Seven Colors in his previous life, how can hearing grasshoppers as a delicious delicacy not make his heart flutter that.
As a person who grew up in the South of the Seven Colors in his previous life, how could he not be tempted to hear of such delicious food as grasshoppers?
And he has been on the Internet that Guangdong eat anything to eat, that has always held the view that the Guangdong people eat everything, that he must not have been to the south of the colorful clouds, if he had been, then he would not have said such a thing, after all, there, to eat all sorts of wild animals that are the lowest level, eat flowers, eat grass, eat insects is the best choice.
That a fried grasshoppers, bamboo worms, bee pupae, cold ferns, fritillary leaves, sauteed wild vegetables black horse leaves, a variety of or fried or cold edible flowers, there are a variety of wild mushrooms, only to think about Li Chengqian’s mouth to stay.
”Xiao Anzi, you go to ask if there are any locusts appearing in this neighborhood, you go to get a few net pockets over to this king” After Li Chengqian instructed Xiao Anzi and one of the guards, he sat on the carriage and waited.
As for these refugees in front of him, that’s not what he should care about, he can’t care about it, that’s his emperor father and those ministers in the court, he is now thinking about how to catch a little more grasshoppers back.
Soon went out to do the small Anzi and that Ming guards came back, but the guard did not find the net pocket, just bring back a few sacks.
Li Chengqian did not care so much, let the guards to make the sacks out of a lot of small openings to take them to the small Anzi inquired about the place to go.
Arrived at the place, looked at the lush corn fields in front of the eyes that a live locusts in the inside of the ravages, next to a number of townspeople’s incense burning prayers.
Li Chengqian did not bother with them, directly let the guards with sacks to catch, but those guards heard let them to catch locusts are frozen, after all, in their thinking, the locusts can not be caught, otherwise the heavens will be sent down punishment.
And Xiao An Zi was also thinking about how to persuade his master.
But Li Chengqian does not care about these, see those guards do not move, Li Chengqian also do not blame them, but also tomorrow and they explain, he took a sack and went directly to catch locusts.
And see Li Chengqian to catch locusts, before praying next to the townspeople, are startled, want to go to stop but see Li Chengqian’s clothes and the guards around them and do not dare to go forward, can only whisper and discuss “This is the son of the family, how do you know nothing about it, this if the locusts in the wrath of the God, how can we do ah”.
And Li Chengqian at this time really happy to catch the locusts, and he found that the locusts are not afraid of people, with the hand can catch, he brought the sacks completely become a setup.
Not a moment Li Chengqian grabbed a small bag of locusts, almost almost 2 pounds, he was satisfied to come back, the bag filled with locusts thrown to the carriage, Li Chengqian greeted the small Anzi who froze there and hurriedly departed to go back.
Hearing Li Chengqian’s words, those already numb guards, set off with a heavy heart, because this matter came too suddenly, when they reacted, Li Chengqian had grabbed a small bag of locusts back, and now they all know that after they go back, they will all bear the monstrous wrath from the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, just because they didn’t stop Li Chengqian in time.
”So many locusts, should be enough to eat several times, not bad, not bad, when we are done eating, we will come and catch them” Looking at his harvest, Li Chengqian revealed a satisfied smile.
And in the carriage outside of the small Anzi and coachman heard Li Chengqian’s words, the heart all came to the sentence “you are the devil”.
When returning to the East Palace, Li Chengqian directly took his loot to the kitchen.
”Liu Hai quickly call people to this king burn pot of soup over” Li Chengqian people have not yet arrived in the kitchen, shouted loudly, at this time he is completely without a prince should have the etiquette.
Hearing Li Chengqian’s shout, Liu Hai hurriedly press Li Chengqian’s command to boil water.
And while waiting for the water to boil, Li Chengqian asked Liu Hai to take out the chili noodles that he had asked him to keep carefully.
”Liu Hai, this thing you haven’t touched it, if the inside is a little less, this king can’t beat you to death” received Liu Hai carefully handed over the chili noodles, opened and checked once to see that there is no less, changed to Liu Hai opened a joke.
”Your Highness, I just ate a bear’s heart and leopard’s guts also dare not ah” but on this joke scared Liu Hai directly kneeled in front of Li Chengqian.
”Okay, know you don’t dare, get up! Give this king to the salt and pepper flour also take over, this king is useful” see Liu Hai was scared into that, feel boring Li Chengqian, hurriedly let him up, and let him before he re-filtered boiled over the fine salt to take over.
After all, before they use the salt are some contain a lot of impurities yellow not pull a few coarse salt, afraid to eat more, will hang Li Chengqian, on their own to these coarse salt to get down again, but these are only in the side to help Liu Hai, Xia Ju know, and Li Chengqian let them are not allowed to say out.
