Chapter 296 Helping the Villagers (2)

The affairs over there will be left to Tang Chuyu.

Tang Chuyu's generosity is not that kind of stupid generosity. Her generosity will only be given to those who are good to her, food to the refugees, and will not benefit her at all, so she is not so kind.

Wen Shan carried a bucket of mussels to the river to wash them, and then boiled them in boiling water.

While cooking, Wen Shan went back to the carriage to get the onion, ginger, seasoning and other things.

Seeing her coming back covered in mud, Tang Chuyu frowned tightly, "Sister Shan, didn't you say you wouldn't give them food?"

"I just came back to get some oil, salt and seasoning, don't worry, I don't need a lot." Wen Shan's goal is to cook the food so that it can be eaten. Like these villagers, their families are so poor that they don't even have much oil, so if the food is too delicious, Even if they can't imitate it so delicious, they will probably dislike it.

While waiting for the mussels to open, Wen Shan asked them to set up a barbecue grill. There was a blacksmith in the village. The blacksmith's house had a lot of scrap iron, which was cleaned and lined up horizontally. It was a simple barbecue grill.

Warmly boiled river mussels, open them, take the side with meat, put them on the grill, then chop the ginger and onion on the side, adjust the taste, and pour the seasoning on it, within a short time, the river Mussels exude a tempting aroma.

The villagers have been hungry for a long time, and they salivated when they smelled such a delicious smell. Some people who wanted to eat had already stretched out their hands, but they were so hot that they raised their hands.

Wen Shan said: "Don't worry about what you don't eat, there are a lot of mussels in your fish pond, as long as you catch them, I'll make them for you to eat."

"I'll catch it! I'll catch it!"

Said the younger men in the village.

Wen Shan nodded, "You have been hungry for so many days, and it takes a lot of effort to dig the mussels, so let's eat one first, and then go digging."

Wen Shan took out a plate, took out the ripe mussels, and put them on the table. People swarmed to grab them, and those who ate enough licked the mussels several times.

"This river mussel is more delicious than fish. It's so delicious. I've never eaten it in my whole life!"

"I used to think it was hard to eat, and even if I picked it up, I threw it away. I didn't expect it to be so delicious. Ma'am, don't worry, I will catch a lot of mussels and bring them back!"

The men who had eaten well immediately dug up their trousers, picked up buckets and went to the fish pond to dig and eat.

On Wen Shan's side, the second serving of mussels was quickly placed, put on plates, and brought to the table for the children to eat.

The hungry children also scrambled for it.

The women in the village, after seeing Wen Shan's method, also helped to put the mussels on the barbecue grill, and then poured the sauce Wen Shan made. In a short time, the village was full of mussels The smell of the food made the passing refugees look at their food with covetous eyes. The kind village head asked them to come in to help, and then gave them some food. As soon as the refugees heard about it, they immediately came to help.

Over there, Xie Qingsong and the others came back with a bucket full of locusts, and Wen Shan asked them to cut a piece of bamboo next to them, cut the bamboo into long bamboo sticks, and then strung up the locusts one by one, Wen Shan took it The locusts they skewered were roasted on the charcoal fire. During the roasting, they were brushed with oil, and when they were almost cooked, they were sprinkled with salt and cumin. They did not put any extra seasonings, so as not to let the villagers in the village get used to eating more seasonings. I can't afford it in the future.

Wen Shan roasted a bunch of locusts and asked the children around him, "Do you want to eat?"

People have preconceptions. They have never eaten enough locusts. When they see such locusts, they are mostly afraid and dare to eat them.

The village chief came over and said, "Ma'am, give me a bunch to taste."

Wen Shan handed one to him, and took a bunch himself to eat. The locusts were roasted just right, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, crispy and tempting, not to mention how delicious they are.

There are not so many locusts in the Tang family, and some only have a few. Like the locust plague here, you can catch a lot of them. Because these locusts have eaten a lot of food, they are all fat, and they are even better. have eaten.

After the village chief finished eating, he looked at Wen Shan in shock, "How can it be so delicious?"

"Is it delicious? The next time the village chief has locusts coming, you don't have to be afraid. Before they eat up the food, you should catch the locusts and eat them. It's also delicious fried or roasted. If the locusts are caught and eaten, you don't have to worry about them eating your food." Wen Shan said with a smile.

Seeing that they dared to eat it, the children asked Wen Shan to order a bunch of them. At first they were scared to eat it, but after they started eating it, it was really delicious, just like eating shrimp.

The children in the village seldom eat some meat. No matter how little locust meat is, it is just meat. Wen Shan roasts it just right, crispy and delicious.

The children who didn't want to eat at the beginning, all scrambled to eat later.

After Wen Shan taught them how to cook mussels and roast locusts, the villagers began to rely on themselves.

It was almost noon now, Wen Shan returned to the carriage with a few skewers of roasted locusts, and gave the skewers to Tang Chuyu, "Eat, eat, it's delicious."

"I'm not one of those villagers who are too poor to eat..." Tang Chuyu muttered in a low voice, looking at the roasted locusts given by Wen Shan with disgust, but remembering that Wen Shan made them, she plucked up the courage to taste them...

Really delicious……

If you didn't look at it, you might think it was shrimp or something, but it seemed that Tang Chuyu was still a little disgusted.

"Sister Shanniang, how come you can even get locusts to eat?" And it's so delicious.

"I am also a farmer. My family used to be poor. By chance, I got roasted locusts to eat, and found that the taste was pretty good. Many people didn't know that locusts could be eaten, so when locusts came, people's crops would be destroyed by locusts. Eat up, but they can't do anything. So, knowing that locusts are so delicious, they will definitely work harder to catch locusts, and if they eat too many locusts, maybe there will be no locust plague after eating."

"Sister Shanniang, I think you are really smart. You don't give them food, but teach them to cook with ready-made food, so that even after we leave, you don't have to worry about them being hungry, and you will come back later." They also have a solution to the locust plague."

Wen Shan nodded, "It's not that I'm smart, but I like to cook, so I can cook and eat any mess. The most important thing is, as you said, give them some food now, and they can only cook For three or four days, teach them to eat locusts and river mussels. There are so many locusts now. Before the locusts are eaten up, they should replant new food, and they should be able to survive for a while. But what happens after that depends on the Their good fortune, I can only help them so much."

While speaking, Tang Yinian stretched out his hand towards Wen Shan, asking for Wen Shan's hug.

Wen Shan carried him over, Tang Chuyu finished eating a bunch of locusts, and said, "Sister Shan, I'm hungry, let's cook."

"What else to do, eat mussels and roasted locusts with the villagers." Wen Shan said with a smile.
