C78 Fried Grasshopper

"Mm …" This person did as he was told. Although he did not have a good heart and thick skin, he was still useful. At the very least, this kind of drive was not something ordinary people had.

After staying in the shop for the whole day, Ning Yan had seen how business was flourishing and she had to clean the table herself when she was busy. She even dragged a plate of tea to add some water. For the rest of the day, her arms were sore.

As the sky darkened, the number of guests gradually dwindled.

Ning Yan could finally relax for a bit. She looked at Ah Wang and sincerely said: "You guys have worked hard. I will hire another assistant as soon as possible.

"…" Ah Wang revealed a bashful smile.

For some reason, although it was all barbecue and the time was the same and the seasonings were the same, the difference in taste between the dishes was terrifying.

"Alright, I'll recruit people as soon as possible." Ah Wang and his sister cleaned up the shop together.

Ning Yan then led the horse home.

The number of people that could be used was still too little. Barbecue?

After thinking about it, only the Second Madam s of Bai Family were more suitable. But when Deputy Governor Bai and Ning Wan'er got involved, who knew if they would be able to enter the Bai Family as concubines in the future?

Walking back to the village, Ning Yan saw a limping figure under the tilted tree.

When he went closer to look, he realized it was Lame Yang. Lame Yang was squatting on the ground, catching grasshoppers, and the grasshoppers he caught had used a piece of Kobold Grass to pierce through the grasshoppers' nape.

He already had several strings in his hand.

"Why are you catching grasshoppers?" Do you want to eat it? "

"Of course, this thing doesn't taste any worse than pork when it's roasted. If it's fried with oil, that taste …" After Lame Yang said that, he licked his tongue, and turned to see that the one who asked that question was Ning Yan, and his entire body became weak.

"Ning, Ning Yan is you!" With that, he looked at the brown horse in Ning Yan's hands with envy: "You bought a horse?"

"Right, does this Ma family look really handsome?"

"Yes, handsome." Lame Yang took a step back without batting an eyelid, and placed the dog-tailed grass he was carrying behind him.

They were afraid that Ning Yan would snatch the grasshopper in his hands.

Ever since he spent all his silver to buy Elder Mrs. Lee her wife, he had not eaten much.

If there were no more grasshoppers.

Seeing Lame Yang's vulgar look, Ning Yan felt uncomfortable, what was the meaning of this guarded gaze, she who grew up under the sun, a normal person would steal other people's things.

Giving the Lame Yang a disdainful look, Ning Yan stretched out her hand and snatched the dogtail grass away.

"You'll get a stomach upset after eating this, so I'll take it back first." This was no longer an era, and it was not impossible to indulge in it occasionally.

Thinking about it this way, Ning Yan walked home happily.

He tore off the legs of the grasshopper's wings and threw them into the frying pan. He fried them in flames. There were pieces of spring onion, sesame oil and other seasonings on the plate.

He threw the grasshopper onto the plate and stirred.

"Mom, what did you get to eat this time?"

"Do you want to eat grasshoppers?"

"Eat." Ever since he despised squid being slapped in the face, Ning Zu no longer doubted the food that Ning Yan brought out.

No matter how sharp his eyes were, he pretended not to be able to see anything and continued to eat whatever he needed to eat.

He picked up a grasshopper from the plate with the chopsticks and chewed on it. Then, his eyes lit up as he picked up the plate and started to eat.

He raised his head to look at his mother, thought for a moment, then pushed the plate out. "Mother, do you want to eat?"

Zhou Yi heard movement outside and walked out to smell a strange fragrance. When he got closer, he saw the plate in Ning Yu's hand: "Young Noble, do you have my share?"

Lady Ning's new delicacy rolled in her throat. She didn't even see anything on the plate as she blurted out those words in her heart.

"None for you." Ning Yu shook his head.

With just this little bit of grasshopper, Zhou Yi could finish it in one bite.

"…" Zhou Yi did not speak anymore, and his aggrieved gaze fell on Ning Zu.

"Then, then tomorrow you go and catch the grasshoppers. After you catch them and bring them back, I'll get mother to cook for you."

"What is it?" Zhou Yi thought he misheard him and sniffed hard. The smell was very fragrant? How could something like a grasshopper be so fragrant?

"A grasshopper!"

"Can, can I eat it?" Although Zhou Yi was a martial general and frequently went to the border, even if he was poor, he would not fall to the point of eating grasshoppers.

Hearing Ning Yu say that the plate was filled with grasshoppers, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.

His stomach was also heaving.

He knew that once a person became poor, they would eat everything. However, the word 'poor' had never been on his side before …

Even if they didn't have enough food during a war, the ones who were hungry wouldn't be the high-ranking officers.

"What can't I eat in this world?" He was a bit hungry, didn't he eat humans too?

And what's the name of the bipedal sheep?

"That seems to make sense. Then, send the little gongzi to Mr Xue tomorrow, and I'll go catch grasshoppers."

Ning Yan nodded, thinking to bring the grasshopper to the barbeque store and make a dish.

They were afraid that some people would be like Zhou Yi, detesting the lowly grasshoppers and not wanting to eat them. They did not know if they would affect their business or not.

It would be better to... Open a new shop in the slightly disordered area.

After thinking about it, Ning Yan walked towards the courtyard of Mrs. Qian.

Mrs. Qian was still peeling the bamboo sticks, Mr Xue said that Mrs. Qian's body would have to rest for at least half a year, and that he had only rested for a month.

Ning Yan did not dare to find Mrs. Qian for work.

However …

Mrs. Qian's brother, Qian Hu should be very free right now, even if she entered into a force that smuggled salt, it wasn't something that could be busied with.

Qian Hu was strong enough to be like this. Previously, he would even carry a carrying pole to the brothel to sell Incense Flowers Powder, such a person was just the right person to do business with.

"You want Hu Zi to do a little business with you?"

"Can I?" Ning Yan asked.

Mrs. Qian nodded his head vigorously: "Of course you can." She would sit down and cut bamboo sticks every day to serve the few new vegetables in the garden. Every month, she would be able to earn more than one or two points from it.

I wouldn't even dare to think about it at any other time.

Right now, Ning Yan was thinking of promoting Hu Zi.

No matter how he thought about it, it was an opportunity.

"I'll go find Hu Zi."

"Yes, yes." Just as Ning Yan nodded her head, she saw Mrs. Qian throw the work in her hands and run out.

Thus, he sat in the courtyard and waited for Mrs. Qian to return.

After sitting for a while, Ning Yan headed towards the garden.

The little cabbage grown in Mrs. Qian grew up very well. It was tender green, and when picked up and stir-fried, it would not put meat on the tofu and would probably also be very delicious. Comparing it with the cabbage grown in the Mrs. Qian, Ning Yan compared the cabbage grown in her own garden with the one that had a bad effect on it, feeling guilty in that moment.

The same seed, eh.

Looking at the cabbage on the ground, Ning Yan almost couldn't control her hands anymore.

The majority of people in Gouzi Bay would not pull out the cabbages and eat them at this time of year. There would be harvests in the fields during this season, and the vegetables that they ate would also be in season. If they pulled out the cabbages, they would have nothing to eat during the winter.

His thoughts were a bit stubborn.

Every family would plant cabbage, but they wouldn't grow too much. It would be enough to eat for a whole winter. If they pulled it out now and ate it, they would have to plant it again. Most importantly, the seed also needed money.
