Chapter 124: Eating Locusts

When Su Wan'er heard Gao Ming say that he was going to eat locusts, her originally calm face became frightened again.

"Your Highness, don't scare your concubine, how can this locust eat it?"

Speaking of this, she suddenly thought of something, and her eyes widened immediately.

"Could it be that His Royal Highness is ready to emulate his father, but his father had to do it as a last resort, and now there is no locust plague, Your Highness, you don't need such a ......"

Looking at Su Wan'er, who looked anxious, Gao Ming blinked suspiciously.

"What imitates the Emperor? What happens to the locust plague? What are you talking about? ”

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Su Wan'er was stunned.

"It was the locust plague in the second year of Zhenguan, and my father ate locusts in public, uh...... Aren't you, Your Highness, ready to emulate your father? ”

Hearing Su Wan'er's words, Gao Ming finally understood what she was talking about.

In the second year of Zhenguan, that is, the second year of Li Shimin's succession, there was a rare locust plague in Guanzhong, together with Jingzhao Mansion, the affected area reached ** prefectures and counties, when Li Shimin ate a locust in public in order to win people's hearts, which is also the story of the famous "Tang Taizong swallowing locusts" in history.

Gao Ming also knew about this, but when he imagined Li Shimin eating locusts and eating green water, he felt a little chilled.

"It's scary......"

Now Gao Ming finally understood why Su Wan'er showed that kind of terrifying expression, if it was him, he would be afraid, so he immediately smiled bitterly at Su Wan'er.

"Daughter-in-law, although I have always thought that my man in your family is a fierce man, but eating locusts raw, please forgive the concubine for not being able to do it!"

Looking at Gao Ming's appearance of playing with treasures, Su Wan'er, who was originally a little frightened, suddenly couldn't help but laugh out loud.

As Su Wan'er opened her mouth and laughed, her originally nervous mood relaxed a little, so she glanced at Gao Ming again.

"Lang Jun can't talk nonsense, if this word is spread outside, people will laugh at it, and if my father knows that you are making fun of the harem concubines, he will definitely be unhappy."

Hearing her words, Gao Ming suddenly shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't care!"

Speaking of this, Gao Ming found that Su Wan'er's brows had wrinkled, and he quickly changed his complexion, and then solemnly arched his hand towards her.

"Yes, obey the orders of the crown princess!"

As soon as the words fell, Su Wan'er couldn't help laughing again.

"Giggle...... Lang Jun is not serious again, let's go take a bath quickly, I'll let someone bring the food, and the son-in-law will come too. ”

"Hmm!"

Seeing Su Wan'er take Li Mingda away, Gao Ming smiled slightly, and then called the waiter to him.

"Shishu, you take down these locusts, boil a pot of boiling water first, and I'll teach you how to deal with them later."

"Yes!"

Seeing that the waiter agreed, Gao Ming nodded and went to take a bath.

After dinner, Gao Ming carried the little tiger to the backyard, and then followed the waiter into the room where the water was boiling.

At this time, the water in the pot was already boiling, Gao Ming nodded, and asked the waiter to pour all the baskets of locusts into the pot, and then picked up a stick and stirred it twice in the pot.

"Alright, take it out!"

As Gao Ming's words fell, a palace maid immediately came over with a wooden basin, and another palace maid scooped out the scalded locusts in the pot with a spoon, and after the locusts were scooped out, Gao Ming took the little tiger into his arms, and then took out a locust from the wooden basin with a smile on his face.

The locusts that had just been scooped out of the boiling water were still a little hot, Gao Ming hurriedly blew two breaths, and then laughed at the palace maids next to him.

"Look how I do it."

After speaking, Gao Ming took the locust's head with his right hand and pulled it, and then squeezed the locust's stomach with his left hand, and immediately squeezed out all the things in the locust's abdominal cavity.

After doing this, Gao Ming looked at the stunned palace maids next to him.

"Just like I did just now, first clean up the contents of the locust's body, and then use scissors to cut off the locust's feet and wings, right?"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The palace maids agreed, and began to deal with the locusts in the basin, seeing that they were becoming more and more proficient, Gao Ming nodded with satisfaction, and went out with the little tiger in his arms.

After about a stick of incense, the waiter came to tell Gao Ming that the locusts had been made, and when Gao Ming heard it, he immediately ran to see it happily.

The palace maids did their work very meticulously, not only preparing and dealing with these locusts, but also putting them in a porcelain basin with a diameter of 30 centimeters.

Looking at the cleaned locusts in the porcelain basin in front of him, Gao Ming suddenly smiled.

"This thing really shrinks, and there was a small half basket when I brought it, but I only got such a small pot, but fortunately I bought some, otherwise it would not be enough."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the palace maids in the room suddenly widened their eyes in shock.

"What? There are so many locusts, and His Royal Highness the Prince is still too little? And this locust is still bought? When do locusts need to be bought? ”

However, they didn't dare to ask Gao Ming directly, so they could only hold this question in their hearts.

Under the surprised gaze of a group of palace maids, Gao Ming happily walked away with the porcelain basin, probably because he was too happy, and he patted the servant on the shoulder when he left.

"Shishu, I'm sorry for you, I'll share a little bit of it with you when I get this thing ready, don't be too happy, hahahaha......"

Gao Ming laughed and left, looking at his back, the waiter suddenly wanted to cry without tears, she could only pray silently.

"I hope Your Highness is talking about playing!"

The waiter was destined to be disappointed, because Gao Ming really wasn't joking, and after leaving the courtyard, he went straight to the Shang Shi Bureau, and then found some butter in the Shang Shi Bureau, and poured all the locusts in this porcelain pot into the oil pot.

"Boom......"

With this sound, the locusts in the oil pot slowly changed color, and only when all the locusts in the pot were fried to a golden color, Gao Ming nodded.

"Alright, it's time to get out of the pot!"

After Gao Ming fished out the locusts in the oil pot, he first sprinkled a layer of salt on it, and then stirred it evenly, and then picked one up and put it in his mouth, and chewed it "crunch".

"Crunch...... Crunch...... Hmm, it doesn't taste much, crunch......"

Seeing this scene, the palace maids of the Shangshi Bureau were suddenly silent, and only after Gao Ming went out with the fried locusts did they start talking with panic.

"What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ate just now was a locust, right?"

"Yes, yes, there are no feet or heads, but I can tell at a glance that they are locusts!"

"It's so terrifying, isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince afraid of the locust god to blame?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also the reincarnation of the gods in the sky, so he is not afraid of locust gods."

"Also to ......"

Gao Ming didn't know what the palace maids were talking about, and at this time he was running back to his small courtyard with locusts in his hand, and then shouted loudly.

"Wan'er, little son, serve the book, serve the sword, come out and eat something good!"

Gao Ming shouted twice, and found that there was no movement around him at all, and he suddenly felt very strange.

"Are they all sleeping? Impossible, what time is it? Forget it, I'll eat some first when they sleep, I can't finish this pot anyway......"

Gao Ming muttered to himself as he grabbed the fried locusts from the basin and ate them.

Locusts and shrimp are all high-protein foods, and some people will be allergic after eating them, but Gao Ming has no worries, because he has already eaten one in the Shangshi Bureau just now, and he has not felt unwell until now, so he is relieved to eat it boldly.

Gao Ming ate it himself, and of course he didn't forget the precious pet in his arms, so he grabbed the fried locust in the porcelain basin with his left hand and put it in his mouth, and grabbed one with his right hand and fed it to the little tiger.

"Come, Benben, give you one, open your mouth!"

"Mi ......"

"Hahahaha!"

Just as Gao Ming was laughing, he suddenly heard Li Mingda's voice behind him.

"Big brother!"

As soon as Li Mingda's voice fell, Su Wan'er's voice also rang out.

"Hey...... Don't go ...... son."

Hearing this voice, Gao Ming looked back and saw the bedroom door open with a "squeak", and then Li Mingda ran over with his little short legs.

"Big brother, is that locust delicious? Sons should eat too! ”

After speaking, Li Mingda swallowed his saliva, looking like a little gluttonous cat, seeing this scene, Gao Ming immediately understood what was going on.

must have run back to complain, and then Su Wan'er took them to hide in order not to eat locusts, probably because she ate too much just now, and accidentally lured Li Mingda, a little gluttonous cat, out.

After thinking about this, Gao Ming immediately laughed.

"Son, this is a locust, do you dare to eat it?"

When Li Mingda heard Gao Ming's words, her face suddenly showed hesitation, but soon she nodded again.

"If the eldest brother dares, the son will dare!"

Hearing her answer, Gao Ming couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, my son is so brave, okay, big brother will give you one."

As he spoke, Gao Ming took out a fried locust from the porcelain basin and handed it to Li Mingda, Li Mingda took it and put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"It smells so good!"

After saying that, she no longer hesitated, and directly put the fried locust into her mouth and chewed it, and she laughed while chewing.

"Hmm, it's delicious...... Delicious ......."

She was still chewing in her mouth, so she stretched out her little hand towards Gao Ming.

"Big brother, my son still wants to eat!"

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming shook his head with a smile.

"Son, you wait a while before eating."

Listening to Gao Ming's words, Li Mingda suddenly blinked his eyes in confusion.

"Why wait? I want to eat it now! ”

Looking at Li Mingda, who looked puzzled, Gao Ming suddenly felt a little distressed, because he didn't know how to explain to Li Mingda that eating locusts would cause allergies.

Because whether it is locusts, shrimp or bee pupa, once there is a serious allergic reaction, it will die, and it is not careless at all, and this is an ancient time with immature medical conditions, Gao Ming does not dare to joke with Li Mingda's life.

However, looking at Li Mingda's eyes, he began to be a little teary-eyed, and Gao Ming also knew that he would not be able to give her a reasonable explanation.

"What should I do?"

After thinking for a while, Gao Ming finally thought of a reason, and he immediately looked at Li Mingda with a serious face.

"Because the locust god decrees that those who eat locusts must wait half an hour after eating one!"

Li Mingda: "(⊙o⊙)..."
