"As for the specific plan, let's wait until I stop the locusts in exchange for food next month.”Lu Xiu said.
"Manor Lord Lu, are we going to stop the charity work in exchange for food? Such a sudden change, would it cause the people to panic?”Li Er said in surprise.
"Hmph, how long do they want Little Friend Lu to support them? For the rest of their lives?”The locust plague was about to end. Today, they went down to inspect. Although they could see a few locusts, they could not see much. Even if the family tried their best, they might not be able to catch a few catties a day. After the locust plague ended, the people should return to where they should be.
"It will be fine. I will hire a few thousand people from them to build a house for me and give them dozens of catties of food every day as compensation.”
The main reason was that the dozens of acres of potatoes he had planted in his own land had not been harvested. Otherwise, he could have distributed potato seeds to the people to plant. With the potato production, there was no need to worry about not having enough food to eat.
"Villa Head Lu, if you need any help, just say it. Although my official position is not very high, it is not difficult to mobilize hundreds of people. If you need it, I can transfer it to help you suppress the situation.”Li Er nodded.
"What are you afraid of? Do you think they dare to be impudent in front of little friend Lu?”Li Yuan said disdainfully.
Not to mention the short-sighted people, even they would be shocked by the ability Lu Xiu displayed.
If he were to show the people the magical ability he used to deal with Cheng Chumo, they would probably kneel down in fear.
…………
"Villa Head Lu, it should be time for lunch soon.”
Although part of the purpose of this trip was to give money to Lu Xiu, the biggest reason was to freeload.
It was true that he had just eaten dessert, but what he looked forward to the most was still the main course!
"I wonder what we'll have for lunch. How about steak? I think the steak I ate a few days ago was very delicious.”Li Yuan suggested.
"Father, I thought the fish slices would be better.”Li Er argued. He had always been thinking about the tuna slices that he had never had the chance to eat.
"You're thinking too much. It's impossible for the dishes to be repeated in a short period of time. Hmm, what are you eating? Let's eat some home-cooked dishes today.”Lu Xiu said.
"What's a home-cooked dish?"
Judging from the name, it was a dish that he often ate. However, it was not easy for him to come here for a meal, so he naturally wanted to eat something delicious.
Lu Xiu smiled and asked someone to bring out seven or eight plates. Under the gazes of Li Er and the others, he began to place the dishes on the plates.
The first dish was red braised pork. It was a cube of reddish-brown meat that was beautifully placed on the plate. From the appearance, it looked very appetizing.
The second dish was Mapo Tofu. The white tofu was covered with a layer of red chili oil, and the thick spiciness assaulted his senses.
The third dish was scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Fruits and vegetables with tomatoes were basically non-existent in the Tang Dynasty.
The fourth dish was chopped pepper fish head, which was covered in a layer of fiery red chili.
…………
There was a total of seven dishes and one soup, which filled the entire table.
"Finally, there's rice. Try it.”Lu Xiu called out.
Li Er finally understood why it was a home-cooked dish. It was because the dishes should be all common ingredients, not some exotic delicacies.
"What a spicy taste. It's not the mustard used to eat the fish last time, nor is it Zhu Yu. I wonder what kind of seasoning it is.”
Li Yuan picked up a red chili and ate it. His mouth was about to spit out fire." But the taste is very spicy. I like it very much. Not bad, not bad."”
"Eh, the meat is so soft and delicious. It shouldn't be the beef and mutton that we often eat, nor is it fragrant meat.”Li Er, who was eating braised pork at the beginning, was also surprised.
The taste of all kinds of meat appeared in his mind, but none of them matched.
Initially, Li Er was very disappointed that he couldn't eat anything delicious. Who would have thought that ordinary ingredients could actually cook such delicious dishes?
"That's pork."
"Impossible. How can pork be so delicious?”
The pork from the Tang Dynasty was indeed not very delicious. Because it was not castrated, it had a smell of urine.
"It's indeed pork. To be precise, it's pork that has been castrated and raised. That's why the meat is so delicate.”Lu Xiu said.
"I see. It's delicious. It's really delicious. Hmm, what kind of rice was this? It was actually so sweet and soft. Speaking of which, you call this a home-cooked dish?”
Li Er ate the red braised pork, then he tasted the Mapo Tofu…He tasted the seven dishes one by one and finally found that they all had their own unique taste. Li Er felt that his sense of taste was dancing. It was a taste experience that he had never experienced before.
Li Er's favorite was Mapo Tofu. It was rich in spiciness and the numbing taste of Zhuyu. Coupled with the fresh and tender tofu, it was simply too delicious.
It was the first time they had eaten such delicious rice. It was very good with delicious dishes.
