Chen Chu waved his hand: "Xiao Su, you are polite, you are so much older than me, don't always be so polite to me, I won't be able to stand it." ”

You also know that I'm so much older than you, and you still call me Xiao Su?

Su Dingfang was speechless for a while, he took this opportunity to ask the question that everyone was eager to ask, what was that fire-breathing thing.

"This is called *****, it is the only magical thing in the whole world, extremely complex, extremely terrifying, this is given to me by a real immortal, I used it to protect myself in the locust plague."

Chen Chu said that since this thing can't be mass-produced, then he will blow it into the mystery to make people in awe, so as to avoid someone chasing the root cause in the future.

Captive...... With this thing, you can not only protect yourself, if it can spray non-stop, I am afraid that the locusts in the whole level will be killed! Su Dingfang thought to himself.

Of course, he also knew that this was unrealistic, and the locusts also knew how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, so how could they line up and send them to Lord Chen.

The sergeants naturally regarded this ***** as an artifact as Chen Chu thought, and they couldn't even help but have the urge to bow and worship.

After that, the morale-boosting convoy continued all the way to the west.

The end point set by Su Dingfang for Chen Chu is Jingyang, but the westernmost part of Guanzhong is in Tianshui, Longxi and other places, but the road is too far, and there is probably no place to recover when they arrive at the disaster.

On the way, Chen Chu asked Fang Du where the two of them were, and Su Dingfang probably knew the location in his heart, but of course he couldn't say it, worried that Chen Chu would run to meet the two.

When the time comes, Fang Xuanling's identity as "Lao Huang" will be revealed, and it is estimated that these people will hate him to death.

Along the way, the number of refugees soared, and there were droughts and locust plagues, and people in many places had to leave their homes and could not survive in their homeland.

The sky was full of dense swarms of locusts, sometimes dense and sometimes sparse, and the overall situation was good, but it had reached the point of destroying crop production everywhere.

In the afternoon, the convoy was stationed in an abandoned village, and after dinner, they had to travel until the evening.

Chen Chu asked Su Dingfang: "General Su, do you think locusts can be eaten?" ”

"Eat?"

Su Dingfang's face changed slightly, although he was a brave and good fighter since he was a child, and he didn't frown his brows in the corpse mountain and blood sea, but when he thought of putting this thing in his mouth, he still felt a surge in his stomach.

"Don't eat it." Su Dingfang shook his head categorically, if this thing can be eaten, wouldn't all the insects under that sky be edible?

Chen Chu smiled, just now he suddenly remembered an allusion.

It seems to be saying that Tang Taizong ate locusts, because the opposition to locusts in the court was huge, and this emperor was ruthless enough to swallow one directly as a living being.

If he remembers correctly, he may have eaten it in the next two days, and if he doesn't eat it, it will be no exception, after all, his little butterfly has flapped its wings, and it is normal for history to be changed.

Chen Chu had heard the remark that locust swarms could not be eaten, but that was talking about locust swarms that had gathered for a long time and had become a climate.

But the disaster in Guanzhong this time, Datang has managed it very effectively.

Du Ruhui arrived in Longxi early to start drought treatment, and he was the first to discover this thing, far from the time when the locust population produced toxins.

So now the locusts are edible.

Chen Chu wanted to wait for Li Er to eat the locusts and set an example, and then let everyone try to eat them too, completely eliminating their fear of locusts.

"This thing is edible, you have to trust me, I won't lie to you, and the taste won't feel disgusting."

Chen Chu gave everyone a preventive injection first, and Su Dingfang and the others laughed dryly.

They secretly prayed that Lord Chen would definitely extinguish this thought, and they were not interested in the smell of locusts at all.

"In addition to eating vegetables today, let's roast a corn and eat it alone."

Chen Chu bought some corn, and the family used bamboo sticks and wooden branches to intersperse and bake, and everyone got a share, looking at the roasted corn kernels full of tempting feelings, it was as bright as gold grains, neat as a military formation, which made people appetize.

Chen Chu took a big bite, poured a little beer into his mouth, and ate two chopsticks to stir-fry, feeling that life was beautiful.

In the afternoon, it was rushed from Chang'an, Chen Chu opened it and looked at it, and was directly stunned.

This Li Er, really early in the morning, swallowed a locust alive in the city!

It's a pity that Chen Chu can't see it, he guesses that the people around him must all be scared crazy, right?

Even the people don't dare to eat things, you are the honor of the Ninety-Five, and the emperor who wants no delicacies from the mountains and seas actually swallowed this thing raw.

Don't even blow it up, Nima's is really ruthless!

Su Dingfang and the other sergeants were much more affected than Chen Chu, and they all felt that they were listening to the book of heaven.

Su Dingfang personally caught a locust and came over, and after observing it carefully, he couldn't figure out how ruthless His Majesty was to stuff this thing into his mouth.

"Your Majesty is really ruthless! General Su, have you seen it, this is His Majesty calling on the people of the world to hunt and kill locusts, what do you think now? ”

Chen Chule looked at Su Dingfang, who was not good.

This general must be suspicious of life to the point of stupidity now, the boss at the top is eating, although he can not eat, but whether he dares or not is not the same thing.

If you dare to eat it, you have to prove it.

Su Dingfang sighed: "Alas, Lord Chen, if you have to eat this, please help with the cooking." ”

Knowing Chen Chu's ability to invent food, Su Dingfang could only hope that he would be able to deal with this thing less disgusting.

"Don't worry, Master Su, you can find someone to help me send a letter to Chang'an City...... Forehead. ”

Chen Chu wanted to say that Lao Li and Lao Sun were here, but suddenly found that he didn't even know what their official position was, so he changed Cui Zhengyuan's name and asked him to help present it to the emperor.

"I'm writing about the correct way to eat locusts and some other suggestions, which are still very important, and you can't lose anything on the way."

Chen Chu wrote a few pieces of paper with a gel pen and stuffed them into the envelope, and Su Dingfang sent a chief to lead the people to hurry back and forth.

Soon, the soldiers also caught some locusts, and waited with trepidation for what Lord Chen would do.

Lord Chen's handling method is directly related to whether they will vomit on the ground for a while, and ruin all the food they just ate in their stomachs even in the morning.

"As for this thing, it can't be eaten raw, absolutely not raw."

Chen Chu's words made everyone breathe the greatest sigh of relief, as long as it is not eaten raw, there is room for turnaround.

"Rip off all the wings and legs of these beasts, and keep only their bodies."

Chen Chu said that these locusts are generally not large, and there is no way to deal with internal organs, they are too small and troublesome.

The crowd did as they were told, and soon a large wooden frame was filled with processed locusts.

"This is the salt you usually use, you can't be reluctant to put salt when you eat locusts, this is an important step, the salt water can force out all the dirt in the locusts' bodies, and you can see that they will spit out black water from their mouths for a while."

Chen Chu said, soaking the salt water in coarse salt, and then put a large number of locusts in it.
