If the matter is initiated by the private sector, regardless of the strength of the initiator, it is estimated that it will take a long time to form a certain influence. On the contrary, no matter what the final outcome of any matter is, once the officials put in the effort, they can always make the matter huge in the beginning. After all, not to mention how much business capabilities the official has, if they have any needs, as long as they do not force the other party to death, then any business must give them some face, otherwise, who will work under them in the future? Everyone is on tenterhooks.
However, under Zhou Tian¡¯s order, the matter of bringing the locusts to the dining table quickly began at that time.
Zhou Tian will not tell others that they are locusts and then feed them to them, because Zhou Tian knows very well that the identity of the locusts is enough to hinder the development of the matter. In this way, when taking action, Zhou Tian not only would not tell others the identity of the locust, but would also deliberately conceal it all.
As a result, Zhou Tian ordered all the shops in the snack street to set up free tasting stalls at that time. At all the stalls, his royal chef will prepare snacks for the guests in the snack street to taste. There is only one kind of food on those stalls, and that is fried locusts whose original appearance is covered up with flour.
In fact, Zhou Tian¡¯s decision was quite correct. If he had told others everything, then no one would dare to try it. But because he didn¡¯t tell the story and didn¡¯t know what it was, he saw something free to eat. Whether he was really curious or greedy for a small advantage, the people walking in the snack street at that time Most of the people actually tried it.
" Generally speaking, rich people who have eaten delicacies from mountains and seas don't have much impression. Some people who like it will eat a few more bites, and some people who don't like it will leave directly after trying it.
But it is different for some poor people. No matter how rich the Yellowstone Principality is, it can only guarantee that fewer people will starve to death. Ordinary civilians want to eat meat every day, but they have not yet reached that standard of living. Under such circumstances, when they suddenly discovered that the food they were trying in the snack street was meat, they all rushed to grab it regardless of what kind of meat they were eating. As a result, they were the first to try it. One day, half of the locusts collected by Zhou Tian were wiped out.
Originally, if Zhou Tian¡¯s idea was to be followed, Zhou Tian would naturally hope that those people would not know what they were eating in a short period of time. In this case, although they will eat Xiao in the future, when they are already accustomed to a kind of food, it is natural for those people to say nothing.
It¡¯s a pity that even though Zhou Tian has already strictly ordered that the food in the snack street is locusts, the news cannot be spread, but there is no airtight wall in the world. In the end, I don¡¯t know where the secret was leaked. Anyway, the news that the food tried in the snack street was locusts suddenly spread at that time.
In less than a day, when the news spread, the food tasting stall, which was originally surrounded by many people, became deserted at that time.
That is to say, this matter was caused by Zhou Tian, ??so although those who tried to eat the locusts were angry, they did not dare to do anything. If Zhou Tian didn't do this, then those people who feel that they have suffered a big loss now may even smash all the tasting stalls directly.
But after seeing that situation, Zhou Tian seemed quite helpless.
Indeed, Zhou Tian could come up with many ways to eliminate the locust plague, but the one he used was the most economical one. But now when he uses such means, and the people are unwilling to cooperate, no matter how good Zhou Tian's original plan was, at this time, there is still a risk of failure.
And just when Zhou Tian sighed and didn't know what to do, he didn't expect that an unexpected discovery made him regain some confidence at that time.
If the food tastes bad, no matter how hard you try, no one will eat it in the end. And if something is delicious, then although some people will resist that food due to some external reasons, there will also be other people who don't care about those external factors who will like that food.
Undoubtedly, if the locusts were not delicious, there would not be so many people snatching them for food. Now, the reason why it has evolved into this situation can only be said that the civilians do not think that locusts are edible food. But the people who think like that are just a group of ordinary people, just some special groups of people, but they don't care that much at all.
As a result, Zhou Tian was preparing to change his original plan and treat the locusts as feed.When I was walking in the snack street, I unexpectedly discovered that Du Kanghao, who had been sitting in the snack street, was eating a lot at the food tasting stall. In that case, there was no reason at all. The identity of that food is not affected in any way.
"These are locusts, can you eat them?" Zhou Tian opened his chair and sat down next to Du Kanghao, but like him, he picked up a bunch of locusts and ate them.
"Aren't you eating too?"
"That's true, I just can't understand why they eat other foods for granted, but they don't dare to eat them if they are replaced by locusts."
"Whatever, those people won't eat, so I can eat more. Anyway, the locust plague outside has been extinguished. Whether others accept this kind of food shouldn't have much impact on you now, right?"
"But if we can make these locusts one of the snacks, then the number of locusts that will be consumed every year in the future will definitely be quite a lot. In this way, people will naturally make a living by collecting these locusts, and they will continue to go to various places every year. If we dig out locusts, the possibility of locust plagues in the future will be much lower."
"The Duke takes it for granted. Even if locusts can really become one of the snacks, it is impossible to really make the locusts extinct with such consumption. It is possible to reduce the destructive power of the locust plague, but you want to completely avoid the locust plague. It is absolutely impossible to appear. And since it is inevitable, what is the use of being anxious? Moreover, although this locust is not accepted by most people at the moment. But as long as it continues to exist, it will always One day it will be accepted by people. I think pork was also disliked by people at the beginning, but now it has become one of the staple foods."
"It makes sense. It seems that I am not as open-minded as Brother Du!" After listening to Du Kanghao's words, Zhou Tian was really inspired. After smiling calmly, he put the matter down. , we no longer have to worry about whether people in this world can accept locusts as food.
