Concubine Li Guifei brewed a cup of health powder for the emperor.

"Your Majesty really wants to drink?"

"Why not, this thing does have a good warming effect." Luo Cheng took it with a smile.

"But there's locust eggs in there."

"It's locust egg powder, which has been steamed and dried and then ground into powder, how can there be half a locust egg, and this locust egg is a high-quality protein, a nutrient that the human body needs very much. In addition, the whole grains such as brown rice flour are very beneficial. ”

Li Xiuning shook his head, although he couldn't see the locust eggs in the cup, he always felt a little sluggish.

"Brown rice is a good thing, Taoism also calls it brown rice, in addition to rich protein and dietary fiber, brown rice bran and germ part, but also rich in vitamins, can improve the body's immune function, promote blood circulation, can soothe restless nerves, prevent arteriosclerosis."

"Gorou, what you said, why don't I seem to understand a word, what are those proteins, dietary fibers, vitamins, immune functions, etc., what are they?"

"Oh, this is a pharmaceutical word, it is the result of a major discovery after our Sun Yaowang's painstaking research, he has made these new discoveries and used some new terms, the first time you heard it, it is normal to be puzzled." Luo Cheng directly threw the pot on the head of the medicine king.

"Didn't I have a stroke before, to use this new medical term, it is called cerebral hemorrhage caused by high blood pressure, but fortunately, the divine doctor treated it in time. This high blood pressure has a lot to do with diet, especially when you usually eat more fish and meat, and you eat more polished rice and less coarse grains, which leads to insufficient dietary fiber and vitamins. Luo Cheng flickered Li Xiuning.

"Of course, eating brown rice can not only lower blood pressure, but also blood sugar and blood lipids. High blood sugar can lead to diabetes, which is often referred to as thirst-quenching in Chinese medicine, for example, Ma Zhou, a scholar I admire very much, he is young, because he likes to overeat, loves meat, does not like to eat vegetarian, and has irregular work and rest, resulting in thirst-quenching syndrome. People with diabetes can't eat sweets, and it's best not to eat fine rice even for rice, and it's best to eat more coarse grains to alleviate the condition. ”

"Is it really that amazing?"

"Not only that, if you have a cup of whole grain health powder every morning, after a long time, you can also maintain a beautiful face, and even lose weight and whiten." Luo Cheng smiled and said to Li Xiuning, "Do you want to have a cup of concubine too?" ”

"But there are bugs!"

"It's all powdered, this rush, the taste is quite sweet, don't believe it, you try it."

The emperor brought the cup to her lips, and she hesitated, but still opened her mouth to take a small sip, and at first she did not dare to swallow it.

After frowning for a while, I felt that there was really no smell or anything like that.

"It's made of brown rice, black glutinous rice, oats, red beans, millet and locust egg grinding, and although there is no added sugar and salt, it tastes good, right?"

"It's okay indeed."

"Drink more, you can also improve your stomach and intestines, and you will no longer be constipated."

Li Xiuning took a few sips and said suspiciously, "Ordinary people usually rarely have ** rice and fine noodles, and most of the grains they eat are brown rice with shells, and wheat rice, bean rice, etc. are also common, so ordinary people don't lack much of this dietary fiber, vitamins and the like, right?" ”

"Well, they do not lack these, they mainly lack protein, the food containing more protein is mainly milk, meat, eggs, fish and beans, etc., although there is protein in the grains, but there are actually several kinds of protein nutrition required by the human body, if it is only absorbed from the grains, it is too single, and the protein in the fish, meat, eggs and milk must be supplemented, but how can ordinary people often eat these, but this locust egg also contains similar protein to chickens, ducks, fish, meat and eggs, which is very good nutrition."

Li Xiuning seems to understand whether he understands or not.

"So, in fact, locust eggs are as nutritious as chickens, ducks, fish, meat, milk and eggs?"

"It can be said that the ancients also called locusts the pheasant."

The people bought the twenty wen a bucket of health care, the main ingredient is locust egg powder, the people eat, can indeed get a lot of protein supplement, for the lack of non-staple food, especially the lack of meat for the people, it does have a great health care effect, such as can change night blindness and so on.

"I have put so much effort into promoting this health powder, not to cheat money, this is a real good thing for the benefit of the country and the people."

Daqin doesn't have the conditions to promote milk, but it's still okay to push this locust egg powder.

"But locust plagues don't happen every year, if everyone eats this health powder, I'm afraid that no matter how many locust eggs there are, it won't be enough to eat, right?" Li Xiuning asked.

"After the locust eggs are eaten, there are locusts, and when the locusts are also eaten, there are also fish and shrimp shells, there will be many fish and shrimp shells in rivers and lakes, and most of the fish and shrimp shells are not easy to preserve and transport, so the people along the coast and the river are tired of eating, and people in other places can't afford to eat them. In the future, I can set up processing plants on the shores of rivers, lakes and seas, and dry and grind some fish, shrimp and shells, especially some smaller ones that are worthless, and they can also replace locusts. ”

Wei Zheng, the left attendant of the door, returned home, and the servant carried the health powder rewarded by the emperor out of the car.

"Put it in the antechamber."

As a second-grade member, Wei Zheng obtained thirty-four bottles of health powder.

Bottles and cans are placed on the ground.

His wife, Pei, brought her sons Shuyu and Shuyu over.

"What is this?"

"The health care powder given by Your Majesty's Golden Palace is blowing like an elixir."

A steward in the hall said, "When I was out shopping today, I saw that several Huimin pharmacies were queuing up to buy them!" The supply exceeds the demand, and they are all purchased in limited quantities. ”

Pei Shi smiled, "I read the newspaper in the morning, and it is also talking about this health powder, saying that it has many health care effects, is it really so magical?" ”

"The magic is very magical, in fact, it is all grains plus some red dates and lotus seeds, and a little salt and sugar are added to it."

The Wei Shuyu brothers clamored for a drink.

Wei Zheng asked everyone to brew a bowl, and he didn't say that there were locust eggs in it, but the Wei Shuyu brothers really drank it in a few sips, and they said that it was delicious, and they still wanted to drink it.

Pei Shi also tried it and found that it was okay, a little sweet, and it tasted good.

"Things are not bad, no wonder the emperor said they were good."

Wei Zheng smiled, and didn't say anything about breaking the locust eggs. "Since you say it's delicious, I'll drink it in the morning, these kids are usually picky eaters, and it's good to love this."

He actually knew the emperor's intention to make this health powder, and this time more than 600,000 stone locust eggs were dug up in various ways, which is actually quite small, after all, the locust eggs are only so large. When the locusts come out, it will be terrible. If these millions of locusts can be turned directly into food in the disaster area, then a lot of food can be saved, especially if there is no need to transport them from other parties.

And the emperor also told him that in the future, fish, shrimp, shells, etc. can also be made into health powder with bran, beans, wheat and yams, etc., which means that the imperial court may be able to add a large amount of this new grain every year in the future. There is no need to reclaim the famine, there is no need to cultivate, and a large amount of grain can be added every year, which will be a great thing for the imperial court and even for the whole world.

The people regard food as their heaven, and there is no shortage of food now, but who knows if there will be a shortage in the future?

Pei Shi said, "This health powder is so popular, is it all controlled by the royal family?" Didn't that year add a lot of money? ”

Wei Zheng also poured himself a cup of powder, he picked up the cup and blew it gently, "Your Majesty, if you can really make money on this, no one will have an opinion, and besides, for now, it is purely a loss to make money." As for the future, who knows! ”
