Chapter 92: The Tears of His Majesty Li Er
Can His Majesty Li Er not be excited?
If what Changle said is true, then since the locusts have such a wonderful taste, it will inevitably cause the people to hunt and kill wildly, and the complete elimination of the locust plague is just around the corner.
"Father, how dare my sons deceive my father, now the Four Seasons Restaurant is selling fried locusts for five cents a plate. Moreover, Lin Gongzi has already started to buy locusts in Linjia Village, Erchen saw that the villagers of Linjia Village were very active and hardworking to catch locusts, Erchen and Cuizhu saw them settle the price on the spot, and Lin Gongzi paid a penny for a hundred······"
"·····"
When His Majesty Li Er and Empress Eldest Sun heard this, they all gasped.
This kid from the Lin family really has the ability to turn decay into magic.
Such a high price far outweighed the loss of the people's fields, and in this way, the people not only did not suffer, but also increased their income. However, the only downside is that widespread food scarcity is an inevitable reality.
"Erlang, concubine congratulations to Erlang for surviving this locust plague safely."
Empress Eldest Sun recovered from the shock, smiled, looked at His Majesty Li Er gently, and spoke.
"Such a locust plague can be broken, I am very relieved, right now there must be a shortage of food, and my people in the Tang Dynasty have to endure a year of famine, thinking of this, I feel uncomfortable in my heart······"
A line of tears slid down His Majesty Li Er's face, causing Princess Changle to pounce on His Majesty Li Er's arms.
"Father, don't cry······ Father, don't cry ······, Changle has a way to make the people of the Tang Dynasty never go hungry in the future·····"
Princess Changle looked at her tearful father and couldn't help crying······
"Changle, what did you say?" ······"
When His Majesty Li Er heard this, he immediately grabbed Princess Changle's shoulders with both hands.
Princess Changle's words just now made him like a dying person grasping the last straw.
"Father, it hurts so much······"
Princess Changle frowned slightly, and said in a trembling voice.
"It's all my father, the emperor is so excited."
When His Majesty Li Er heard this, he let go of the hands that were holding Princess Changle's shoulders hard.
"Can Changle tell his father what you can do to solve the famine problem of the people of the Tang Dynasty in the future?"
His Majesty Li Er's eyes were like torches, his eyes were like stars, and he looked at Princess Changle anxiously and excitedly and asked.
"Father, this is the potato brought by the son from Linjia Village, which can yield 10,000 catties of potatoes per mu."
After Princess Changle finished speaking, she brought the two potatoes from Linjia Village and presented them in front of His Majesty Li Er.
"What? ······ yield per mu 10,000 catties? ”
His Majesty Li Er swayed, almost standing unsteadily, thanks to the quick eyes of the eldest grandson Empress beside her, she reached out to support His Majesty Li Er, otherwise he would definitely fall on him with a dragon body and was not safe······
His Majesty Li Er sat down and rubbed his head vigorously with his hands, which was a bit informative, making him really difficult to parry for a while.
The main reason is that His Majesty Li Er's imperial heart is not ready to bear such a big surprise, and he is panicked for a while, and it is really human nature to be surprised.
"Father, these two potatoes are food with a yield of 10,000 catties per mu, and Cuizhu and I saw Xiaolin Gongzi pull it out of the ground with our own eyes."
Princess Changle wiped away the tears on her face and replied.
Just now, her father's tears made her sad for a while, so she told the potato matter in a hurry.
His Majesty Li Er stroked the two potatoes excitedly and happily, not knowing what to do for a while.
However, the eldest grandson queen still retains a trace of reason.
"Changle, you and Cuizhu saw with your own eyes that this was pulled out of the ground by Lin Gongzi, which means that this kind of food is not afraid of locusts to eat, which means that Linjia Village has not been invaded by locusts?"
"Yes, this kind of food is not only not afraid of locusts, but Kobayashi Gongzi said that drought and flood will ensure harvest, and drought and floods will have an extremely limited impact on its yield."
Princess Changle replied truthfully.
This time, even Empress Changsun is not calm. "Drought and flood can be abundant, what an amazing food, I just don't know what it tastes like? Is it possible to barely make people swallow? ”
"Father, mother. If the queen mother didn't remind him, the son almost forgot it, and the son of Kobayashi specially made one for the son to bring back, so that the father and the queen mother could taste it, and the son didn't know what it tasted like? ”
Princess Changle replied truthfully, and then Cuizhu carefully opened the lid of another food box.
A faint and pleasant slightly sour fragrance instantly diffused in the Lizheng Palace.
"Father, mother, it's better to taste the taste of this vinegared shredded potato with your sons."
"No wonder it smells sour." Empress Eldest Sun echoed with a smile.
"Okay, I'll taste this 10,000-pound food again, what kind of taste is it?"
After His Majesty Li Er finished speaking, he took a bite and put it in his mouth.
"It's delicious, it's delicious... Guanyin, Changle, hurry up and taste it, this taste is very appetizing. ”
His Majesty Li Er's face was very happy, stretched out his chopsticks and took another bite, and tasted it carefully.
Empress Changsun and Princess Changle also took a bite and gently put it in their mouths. In an instant, the expressions of the two people became wonderful, and this sour taste really made people appetizing.
And the most important thing is that the shredded potatoes are smooth and crispy, and there is a wonderful taste in it.
"Changle, this food is very delicious, if the yield is really as you said, it is really a blessing for the people and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, this is an auspicious thing. I just don't know if there are other ways to eat this food? ”
"Father, this thing can be steamed and cooked, it is also soft and delicious, suitable for all ages."
Princess Changle retold Lin Ran's words to her father.
"It's so auspicious, it's really a blessing for my Datang, but I don't know when Lin Gongzi can let the imperial court spread throughout Datang, so that the time for my Datang people to be happy and strong is coming."
His Majesty Li Er said with emotion.
"Father, Lin Gongzi said, after harvesting this season, the next season can be harvested before the winter, and the entire Wannian County can be promoted in the spring of next year, and after the harvest of Wannian County, you can plant the entire Chang'an in the second season, and at the latest, the entire land of Datang can be planted with potatoes with a yield of 10,000 catties per mu in the next year······"
Princess Changle replied truthfully.
"What? This mu yields 10,000 catties of potatoes, and it can be planted for two seasons? ”
His Majesty Li Er was so excited that he almost squirted out the shredded potatoes in his mouth, today's news was too exciting, and he was so happy that he didn't know what to do for a while.
"No, I must take the time to take a look at this amazing species for myself, otherwise I won't be able to sleep and eat······"
