Chapter 161: Locusts? Good locusts!

Li Er suddenly got up from his seat, rushed out of the council hall, walked to the door, and happened to meet Bai Fan who was rushing over!

"What's the solution?"

"Eat! Locusts are edible! ”

"Eat? Eating locusts? Who eats? Boy, you don't want the people to eat locusts, do you? Are you sick? After hearing this, Li Er once again returned to his disappointed expression.

"It's true, locusts are edible!" Bai Fan said anxiously.

"It's unheard of since ancient times, could it be that you kid has eaten it?" Li Er said curiously.

Bai Fan smiled, he did eat it, but in his previous life, he patiently explained to Li Er, "Your Majesty, chickens and ducks can eat locusts and gain weight, and people can eat chickens and ducks without anything, can it be proved that locusts are not poisonous?"

The reason why no one has eaten locusts since ancient times is because no suitable method has been found!

It's definitely not okay to eat it raw, it's easy to get sick when you eat it!

Steaming and eating tastes bad, it will also be bad, and it can be eaten when it is cooked, but there are some people with special physique, eating it will cause excession and death!

But this does not prove that locusts cannot be eaten!

Human beings are at the top of the food chain, as long as they find the right way, there is nothing that cannot be eaten!

Locusts need to be fried to be safe to eat! ”

Li Er didn't believe it at first, but what Bai Fan said was convincing and sounded reasonable, and finally grabbed Bai Fan's arm and asked, "Really?" ”

"Seriously!"

"Come on, quickly catch a pound of locusts and send them to the imperial dining room!

Boy, let's go, accompany me to the imperial dining room! I heard that you are good at cooking, so give me a hand today? Li Er took Bai Fan's hand and walked towards the imperial dining room with a smile, the problem of many days was finally solved, and he couldn't help but be unhappy!

"So, the minister is ugly!"

It didn't take long for the forbidden army in the palace to catch a small pile of locusts and send them to the imperial dining room!

Bai Fan quickly removed the wings and thighs of the locusts in his hands, and threw them into the prepared oil pot one by one!

Soon, a plate of good fried locusts was served in front of Li Er!

Looking at the extraordinary dish, Li Erxin was shocked, after all, he hadn't eaten it, and he didn't know if he could eat it!

Bai Fan pinched one and put it in his mouth, chewed it crunchyly, squinted, and showed a satisfied look, it was this taste, in his previous life, this thing was a good thing with high protein, and it was very expensive to eat in a restaurant!

Li Er nodded secretly in his heart, this kid is really sensible, as the emperor, he can't eat casually, and the relationship between the two, it's not good for him to directly open his mouth and let Bai Fan try it!

But Bai Fan took the initiative to eat it casually, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, in short, he took care of Li Er's face, and also tried poison for him, for Bai Fan's actions, Li Er has already confessed in his heart!

Looking at Bai Fan's intoxicated appearance, looking down at the gradually decreasing fried locusts, Li Er also moved his index finger, no longer hesitated, and also pinched a locust and put it in his mouth!

The inner servant Lao Gao's heart was in his throat, for fear that something would happen to His Majesty because of eating locusts!

Bai Fan saw that his forehead was already sweating, and said with a smile, "Lao Gao, come on, come on, don't just watch, try my craftsmanship, this is a good thing to replenish the body, it's okay, don't be afraid!" ”

Lao Gao saw that His Majesty had already eaten it, and as a slave, he naturally followed His Majesty in life and death, so he boldly stepped forward and pinched one and put it in his mouth, and the crispy and fragrant taste instantly attracted his taste buds, and after chewing it quickly, Lao Gao saluted Bai Fan and smiled, "Thank you Lord Hou for taking care of the old slave!" ”

Li Er glanced at this personal servant, and was satisfied, he could have the courage to live and die with him, not bad!

"Boy, with this good method, we can indeed solve some of the locust problems, but just relying on people and chickens and ducks to eat locusts can't stop the locust plague!

Besides, there are still a large number of people starving, where can they have the time to eat locusts? ”

Bai Fan covered his mouth and laughed, "What did Your Majesty just say?" If you don't hear clearly, can you say more? ”

Li Er scolded, "Is it just the back of the ear when the grade is young?" I said, there are still a large number of people who are still starving, how can they have the time to eat......"

Forehead! Yes!

Li Eryi slapped his thigh, "Good boy, good idea!"

I was worried that there was no food to save my life, so the locusts were sent to the door, calling on the people to go out and eat the locusts vigorously, so that naturally there would be no need to consume food, and there was no need to worry that the people would eat up the locusts and stop their hunger!

Because the locusts can't be eaten at all! ”

Bai Fan nodded and said, "Yes, the locusts reproduce very quickly, and the places where we pass can be said to have no grass, we have a way to eat locusts, this overwhelming locust plague will no longer be a disaster, anyway, the drought has caused no output in the fields, how good we eat the locusts produced in the fields, we can still take care of food and clothing!" ”

"However, you can't eat locusts by eating, and the harm of the locust plague is still there, once it reaches the grain-producing area, the consequences are also very serious, but there is a way to completely solve the locust plague?" Li Er asked.

"Yes, the minister has recently summed up a set of emergency locust control plans, which can be used to dig pits and lure them, and light up the lights in the pit at night, and the locust phototaxis will fly to the fire, so that you can use the night to destroy many locusts!

During the day, in addition to picking up locusts on the ground to eat, the minister also sent beggars to help his disciples vigorously buy locusts.

According to medical records, locusts are good medicine, locusts are dried and ground into powder, but they are a good medicine for insomnia and children's whooping cough!

Even if it is not used for medicinal purposes, this is delicious food, and when the time comes, it can be mixed with grain, which can be used as miscellaneous grains, which is much better than ordinary wild vegetable coarse grains, as long as the operation is good, the people can use the locust plague to stock up on winter food! ”

Li Eryi patted Bai Fan on the shoulder and praised, "Good boy, a small locust has been used by you to the extreme, not only can you eat locusts, but also store them, so calculated, this locust plague is not only not a disaster, this is to send food to the people who have suffered from the drought!" ”

"This matter still needs His Majesty to send capable people to publicize, the edible oil for fried locusts, the people's homes may not be sufficient, and they need to be collected by the imperial court, all kinds of vegetable oil, sesame oil, soybean oil, etc., and even animal oil, lard, sheep fat, etc., can be used when the conditions are insufficient!

The court just put the oil pot on the shelf, and the people went to catch locusts, and the two added up to food! ”

"Good idea, I will quickly send this matter to all state roads in the form of an urgent official document, and let a group of palace forbidden troops eat the fried locusts first, and then send them to various places with the messenger!

When the time comes, several grain transportation routes will continue, and the people who can't eat food will eat locusts, and this catastrophe will definitely be able to pass!

You Bai Fan, you should be the first credit! ”

In Lao Junguan, Bai Fan found his senior brother Yuan Tiangang, and Sun Simiao was also there!

"Senior Brother Sun, this disaster relief will also rely on your reputation, you are recognized as a miracle doctor living immortal, locust powder is a good medicine, and you need to come forward to publicize, so that after the people are convinced, they will believe that the beggars help their disciples buy locusts!"

Sun Simiao nodded and said, "To be able to contribute to disaster relief and save the people, the old morality is duty-bound!" There is no need to worry! ”

"Senior brother, Daomen controls public opinion in the world, drought and locust plagues are the most likely to cause chaos, you must be optimistic, don't let the chaos get involved with Daomen, it may not be peaceful recently!" Bai Fan said to Yuan Tiangang with a little deep meaning.

"Senior brother, do you mean ......?"

Without waiting for Yuan Tiangang to finish speaking, Bai Fan nodded, everyone knows it!

"Don't worry, Daomen will only cooperate with Senior Brother Sun to save people everywhere this time, and will not gossip!"

Bai Fan nodded, "That's good!" As the old saying goes, there will be a great epidemic after a catastrophe, and there may not be too many deaths this time, but so many people get together in the summer heat, it is difficult to say whether there will be an accident, we must be prepared for disaster relief and epidemic prevention!

I have a volume of health and epidemic prevention manuals here, which has been publicized by the imperial court, but the people are worried about food and clothing, and the implementation may not be enough, so, Senior Brother Sun, tell the disciples of Taoism that they must publicize it when practicing medicine! ”

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Senior Brother Bai's move, the merit is immeasurable! Blessings to the people of the world! ”
