Chapter 68 The Whole City Shakes



Lin Zao cooked all the shrimp that night, otherwise they would die and become stale.

She prepared several different flavors of lobster, including spicy, fragrant spicy, garlic, and steamed, and also made eel noodles for Ya Ya. The whole family was satisfied, and even Li Xiaotao, who was pregnant, had a great appetite.

Tang Jian discussed the follow-up issues of the hemostatic powder with King Cheng today. Once the news spreads throughout the Great Zhou, it will definitely affect the interests of many people.

Many people will definitely come to Ganzhou to inquire about the situation. What they need to do is to start taking precautions now. The two of them discussed the matter for an entire afternoon before they had almost finished arranging things.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zao and his team brought back a pleasant surprise. In a year of famine, discovering a completely new food could be incredibly helpful to the people!

Especially since I've heard that crayfish are becoming an infestation, damaging many crops, it seems we need to have the prince organize the people to catch them – a win-win situation.

Moreover, crayfish are delicious even when simply boiled in water and dipped in a sauce. They taste just as good without a variety of seasonings, making them a great choice for ordinary people.

Sure enough, the next day King Cheng issued an order throughout the city, and notices were also sent to the villages and towns below. First, he explained the harm that the multi-legged monsters caused to crops, and then announced that the multi-legged monsters were edible and renamed crayfish.

Finally, the accompanying list included proof that the crayfish were non-toxic, provided by several of the most skilled doctors in Ganzhou City, as well as several crayfish recipes.

The news sent shockwaves through the entire city!

A few years ago, when there was a drought in the south, the price of grain in grain shops had already increased several times. Now the price of grain is almost sky-high. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, but not a drop of rain has come.

Everyone knows that the drought is about to extend to Ganzhou, so the people have started to cut back on food and clothing to keep themselves from starving.

The new food that King Cheng has discovered is the multi-legged monster that can be found everywhere in the fields and streams. In the eyes of the people, it is the hope for survival!

Almost all the people in the city went out to catch the multi-legged monsters, as long as they could fill their stomachs, they didn't care whether they tasted good or not.

Oh, no, they call them crayfish now!

The dragon among shrimp!

After a week of citywide crayfish catching activities, almost every household is filled with the fresh aroma of crayfish at mealtimes!

The people on the street all looked radiant, and they kept praising King Cheng's great kindness and virtue.

Although there isn't much meat, it's still meat, and it's such delicious meat!

Some clever people even dried lobsters to preserve them and invented even more ways to eat them; there's no shortage of clever people.

However, this has led to the crayfish, which were once an overabundance, becoming increasingly rare.

During this period, Tang Jian has been able to walk normally without a wheelchair, but he still cannot engage in any strenuous activities.

Of course, he was even busier, not only having to deal with the military affairs that had accumulated, but also having to arrange the city's defenses.

The auspicious date for the relocation of the General's Mansion has also been set, in half a month.

The servants and guards in the mansion have been basically arranged by Sun Ding, and now they are gradually being assigned to various positions in the general's mansion.

Lin Zao mostly travels between his home and the village, and is rarely at home.

Han Qingyuan's injuries had almost healed, and he was anxious to ask Tang Jian to arrange for him to go to the military camp. Li Xiaotao stayed at home with Tang's mother and took care of her pregnancy.

That day, an unexpected guest suddenly arrived at the house; it was none other than the owner of Qibaoge.

I've heard of Qibaoge Linzao before. It's located in the east of the city. Although the shop isn't big, everything inside can be described as rare and precious.

I heard that their boss has no powerful backers, yet he still has a place in the East City. He must be no ordinary person!

Such a person,

Why would their employer approach the General's Mansion?
