Chapter 5: Lee Hyo-gong's Surprise

"Nonsense!" Xin'er's father, Li Chongyi, broke out: "How can you eat such pickled goods as locusts? Aren't you afraid of being toxic? ”

After speaking, he slapped the fried locusts in Xin'er's hand. glared at Li Ren.

"Big brother, am I such a disproportionate person?" Li Ren rolled his eyes, "This fried locust, Ah Fu and I ate a lot in the afternoon, do you think we look like we are poisoned?" ”

"Yes...... But the imperial court reported that many victims had indeed died from eating locusts......" Li Chongyi was a little puzzled.

"Hi, that's when they eat locusts raw, unhygienic, causing food poisoning. It's not the same thing as me. And I'm telling you, locusts are a good thing. Rich in nutrients, strong stomach and spleen. It is a rare ingredient. I usually want to eat it, but I can't eat it! ”

"But ......" Li Chongyi wanted to say something, but he didn't say it. I just stopped the chopsticks and never ate again.

Li Ren didn't have time to observe Li Chongyi's reaction, he was now in a hurry to complete the task.

But for some reason, the system has not prompted someone to change their minds, and the fanatic value conversion is successful.

Isn't this fried locust delicious? However, everyone obviously likes to eat it.

After thinking for a moment, Li Ren picked up Xiao Xin'er and asked, "Xin'er, tell Uncle Ren if this locust is delicious!" ”

"Hmph, big liar, don't think I'm small, I'm easy to deceive, tell you, Xin'er doesn't believe that this delicious locust is at all." Xin'er's small mouth felt high.

Well? The problem arises here?

Li Ren's heart moved, picked up a fried locust, and carefully peeled off the outer layer of egg batter. Exposed cooked locusts inside. Hand it to Xin'er.

"Xin'er, you see, Uncle Ren didn't lie to you, this is really a delicacy made with locusts."

Xin'er's eyes widened in disbelief, and she was stunned as she looked at the locusts that exploded golden in front of her.

"Drop, feel Li Xin'er's concept change, fanatic belief value +50"

Xin'er is still young, and she has no concept of locusts, only that fried locusts are delicious, and her natural concept changes very quickly.

But others are different, and the idea that locusts are disgusting is deeply ingrained. It's okay not to see the locusts, but as soon as they saw the familiar locusts in Li Ren's hands Several female relatives couldn't help the nausea in their hearts at the moment, and rushed out of the house and vomited wildly.

Li Ren was stupid for a while, he forgot that even in the 21st century, there are many people who can't stand eating locusts. What's more, this is the outdated Datang?

Li Xiaogong blackened his face, slapped the table fiercely, and roared angrily, "Li Ren, you little rabbit cub, you are bold, aren't you, you have a good life, what kind of demon are you doing!" ”

"Uncle, listen to my explanation." Li Ren touched the back of his head and said with a dry smile: "As the saying goes, a humble person does not dare to forget the country. Nowadays, the victims are all over the wilderness, the people are hungry, and there are wives and wives scattered everywhere, and children are eaten. As a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, how can I stand idly by. ”

"So I thought day and night and studied how locusts could eat. In order to be able to contribute to Datang. You think, though food is scarce now, locusts are everywhere. Just find out how to eat locusts. These victims will be saved! ”

Hiss...... Li Xiaogong couldn't help but gasp.

He didn't expect his nephew to say such a thing.

You must know that the current Tang Dynasty is full of devastation, and since the Weishui Alliance, the treasury is empty enough to run mice. The ability to provide disaster relief has long been lost.

These days, all the ministers in the court have been thinking hard and meditating, but they have not come up with a reliable disaster relief plan. When everyone mentions disaster relief, they have a headache. There is no way to do it.

But this kid actually found another way and studied the possibility of disaster relief on his own.

This...... Could it be the blessing of the ancestors?

At that moment, Li Xiaogong asked with a straight face: "Then have you made any research results?" ”

At the mention of this, Li Ren couldn't help but raise his head and be proud. "Of course, I did it this afternoon."

Afternoon? Xin'er instantly thought of the unpalatable locust cake. I couldn't help but pout; "Where the research is successful, it's obviously hard to eat."

"My little Xin'er, this locust cake is for the victims to eat, it must be to save food and fight hunger, how can it be delicious?"

Then, face Lee Hyo-gong. Zhengse said: "The locust cake I developed is made of fifty percent grain, two percent bran, and three percent locust powder, although the taste is rough and a little fishy, but there is no problem at all with eating the belly!" And because the locust cake contains locust powder, it is considered a kind of meat. On the contrary, it is more nutritious and anti-hunger than ordinary grain cakes. ”

A locust cake only needs 50% of the grain!!

Let's not talk about whether this locust cake is more nutritious than grain cake. As long as it can achieve the effect of ordinary grain cakes, it is an immortal achievement.

After all, half of the food has been saved!

Li Xiaogong's eyes widened in surprise, completely disbelieving. He was short of breath and his face flushed: "What you said is true?" ”

"Is this still fake? The locust cake is in the kitchen now, and if you don't believe it, I'll show it to you. ”

Seeing this, Ah Fu hurriedly ran to the kitchen and brought the locust cake. Presented to Lee Hyo-gong.

Li Xiaogong held a thin locust cake, as if he was carrying a thousand catties of burden, which was the hope of the victims.

He carefully tore off a corner and stuffed it into his mouth. Savor the taste of locust cake.

"Well, it tastes okay, even better than the coarse bread that is now being distributed to the victims. I just don't know if it's really as hungry as you say! ”

"You can rest assured. Guaranteed to fight hunger than the same weight of coarse bread. Li Ren raised an eyebrow.

"Good, good. All right! Li Xiaogong praised three times. Dancing excitedly, he couldn't help but send locust cakes to everyone. "Come and get a taste of the hope of this relief."

Since the outbreak of the locust plague, hundreds of officials have been troubled, and so far, no one has been able to come up with an effective solution. Li Shimin's mouth foamed at this anxious edge.

Unexpectedly, his nephew usually can't do anything, he only knows nonsense. At the critical moment, he actually solved a ** trouble for the imperial court.

That's a lot of work!

"Hmph, the locust cake stinks, and it doesn't taste good at all. I won't eat it. Xin'er muttered in a low voice, instead of eating the locust cake, she went to get the fried locusts on the plate.

"Yes, yes, if you want to say it's delicious, it has to be fried locusts." Li Renle hehe. Tell Ah Fu to go to the kitchen and fetch a large basket of fried locusts that he had prepared. Sent to everyone.

Locusts have the name of hope for disaster relief, and people are much more tolerant of it. Although some people still don't like it, they have to admit the deliciousness of fried locusts.

"Drop, Jiang Ruolan's concept change is detected, and the belief value is +150"

"Drop, Li Chongyi's concept change detected, fanatic belief value +60"

"Drop, detected a change in the concept of the cow butler, fanatical belief value +20"

……

For a moment, the prompt sound in Li Ren's mind kept coming, and he took the time to glance at it, and at this moment, the crazy letter value exceeded 5,000. This is still a case where the value of the question is not converted to play.

Li Ren couldn't close his mouth with a smile. Instantly I felt like I was surrounded by great happiness.
