Chapter 126: The Legend of the Locust God (Part I)
As Li Yu chewed, the fragrant smell of the fried locusts instantly stimulated his taste buds, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Delicious! Son, take another one for the sixth brother to taste! ”
After speaking, Li Yu immediately stretched out his hand towards Li Mingda, looking at him with an eager look, Li Mingda suddenly shook his head with a smile.
"No, the eldest brother said, you must wait for half an hour to eat one, otherwise once the locust god blames, you will have to worry about your life!"
As soon as Li Mingda's words fell, Li Su burst out laughing.
"Haha, the eldest brother lied to you, give the sixth brother another one!"
"No way!"
Seeing that Li Mingda's attitude was so resolute, Li Su had no choice but to lure her up step by step.
"Son, you can give the sixth brother another one to eat, and wait for the sixth brother to bring you another little tiger next time, okay?"
"It's not good, the eldest brother said, you have to wait for half an hour, the sixth brother get out of the way, the son is going to go in to find his father!"
Seeing that Li Mingda was leaving, Li Su, a foodie, suddenly became anxious, pointed in one direction and shouted.
"Look, boy, eagle!"
In fact, many children have forgotten the pain after their scars, and Li Mingda is one of them, and after hearing Li Su's words, he immediately walked in the direction of his finger without any doubt.
"Where? Where are the eagles? ”
Just as she was looking around for the trace of the eagle, she suddenly felt empty in her hand, she looked down, and suddenly found that the cloth bag containing the fried locusts in her hand was gone, and when she raised her head, she only saw the back of Li Yu who had run away.
"Sixth Brother ......"
Looking at this familiar scene, Li Mingda suddenly remembered the familiar past a few days ago.
A few days ago, Gao Ming snatched away the little tiger, and now he was robbed of his favorite fried locusts by Li Su, the new hatred and old hatred combined, Li Mingda couldn't hold back anymore, and cried out as soon as his little mouth deflated.
"Wow......"
While crying, she ran into the forbidden garden to find Li Shimin to complain.
At this time, Li Shimin had just returned from the court, and before he even had time to approve the folds submitted by the ministers, he heard Li Mingda's cry outside, and he immediately sighed.
"Alas...... This Gao Ming, why did he bully his sister again, it's too unusual! ”
Li Shimin just thought of this, only to see that the door of the imperial study was pushed open, Li Mingda ran in while crying, and then threw himself directly into Li Shimin's arms.
"Father, woo woo woo ......"
Looking at Li Mingda, who was crying with tears on his face, Li Shimin suddenly hugged her with a distressed face, and gently touched her little head.
"My poor little son, is your eldest brother bullying you again, alas, don't go to the East Palace in the future......"
Before Li Shimin's words were finished, Li Mingda suddenly cried and shook his head.
"Woo...... It's not the eldest brother, it's the sixth brother who robbed his son's things...... That's the son is going to honor his father, woo woo woo ......"
"What?"
In fact, Li Shimin's differential treatment is still very serious, Gao Ming robbed Li Mingda's little tiger, because the two are his beloved children, so Li Shimin turned a blind eye and passed, but now when he heard that Li Mingda robbed Li Mingda's things, and that thing was still Li Mingda was ready to honor himself, Li Shimin was immediately angry.
His eyes widened, and he slapped the table with a "snap".
"It's really against him, come on, go and arrest Li Su, a son of evil."
"Yes!"
Li Shimin sent Qianniuwei, and their movements were still very fast, and they arrested Li Su in less than a stick of incense, and then sent him to the imperial study.
Looking at Li Shimin, who was angry, Li Su suddenly shrank his head.
"Father...... Father, the child knows that he is wrong! ”
Hearing Li Su admit his mistake when he opened his mouth, Li Shimin immediately raised his eyebrows.
"What's wrong with you?"
"The child's mistake is not to rob his sister of things to eat, and the child will never dare to eat in the future!"
Hearing Li Su's answer, Li Shimin was slightly stunned.
"Is it something to eat? What is it? ”
Li Su didn't dare to hide it, so he quickly took out the cloth bag in his arms and put it in front of Li Shimin.
"This is it!"
Looking at the cloth bag in front of him, Li Shimin suddenly narrowed his eyes curiously.
"What can make this guy rob the sixth guy shouldn't be ordinary food, I want to see what it is."
Thinking of this, Li Shimin immediately lifted the small cloth bag and shook it, and suddenly, two yellow and clear fried locusts fell on the table.
Looking at these two fried locusts, Li Shimin's eyes suddenly widened.
"This ...... It's locusts! ”
Although the fried locust had already been removed, Li Shimin's image of it was too deep, so he could see it at a glance.
Seeing Li Shimin's staring eyes, Li Su thought he was angry, and suddenly knelt down with a "poof".
"Father's anger, it's really because this thing is so delicious, the child didn't hold back for a while, so he ate a few more, and the father ......"
Before he finished his words, he found that Li Shimin had raised his head and looked at him with a look of surprise.
"You say this stuff is delicious?"
"Huh?"
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Su was stunned for a moment, but he reacted immediately and nodded hurriedly.
"Well, it's delicious, crunchy, chicken!"
Speaking of this, he also stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, looking unsatisfied, seeing this scene, Li Shimin suddenly glared at him.
"Something that doesn't make a living......"
As soon as Li Shimin scolded Li Su, he suddenly heard a "crunch" sound in his ears, he turned his head to look, and immediately found that Li Mingda on the side was eating.
"Is it ......?"
Li Shimin looked down and suddenly found that only one of the two fried locusts on the table was left.
"Is this really delicious?"
Thinking of this, Li Shimin frowned suddenly, then picked up the locust on the table and put it under his nose and sniffed it.
What Li Shimin didn't expect was that the smell emitted by a locust was not the grassy smell he thought in his heart, but a peculiar fragrance.
"It smells good, and it seems to smell of cow fat......"
Gao Ming fried locusts with butter, so naturally there would be a smell of cow fat, but Li Shimin didn't know this, he frowned slightly, and put the locust in his hand into his mouth and chewed it.
"Crunch ......"
After chewing twice, Li Shimin immediately nodded.
"Well, it's very fragrant and crispy, son, where did this locust come from?"
Hearing Li Shimin's question, Li Mingda's face suddenly had a smile again.
"Father, this is what my son and eldest brother caught in the farmland outside the city yesterday!"
After speaking, he raised his head triumphantly, revealing an expression of "you praise me", seeing her like this, Li Shimin immediately laughed.
"Haha, my little son will catch locusts, okay, okay, hahahaha!"
Speaking of this, Li Shimin suddenly exhaled a long breath.
"Whew...... At this time, the people have already started farming, right? ”
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Mingda immediately nodded.
"Well, my son saw that there were a lot of people farming, and the eldest brother even wrote a poem!"
When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately showed a curious look.
"Your eldest brother is still composing poetry, what kind of poetry do you make?"
"The name of the poem is "Compassion for Nong", and the son will read it to his father!"
As he spoke, Li Mingda began to read it.
"At noon on hoeing day, sweat drops into the soil. Who knows that the Chinese food on the plate is hard work, and the eldest brother also said that a porridge and a meal are not easy to come by, and half a thread of perseverance is difficult, and thrift is a virtue! ”
As soon as Li Mingda's words fell, Li Shimin immediately nodded approvingly.
"Your eldest brother is right, thrift is a virtue!"
Speaking of this, Li Shimin immediately glared at Li Su below.
"If you can match half of your eldest brother's worthiness, why should I scold you? Dare to bully your sister in the future, see if I don't break your legs, get out! ”
In Li Shimin's angry shouts, Li Su suddenly stumbled out as if he had been amnestied, and after Li Su left, Li Shimin showed a smile towards Li Mingda.
"Son, do you still have this thing with your eldest brother?"
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Mingda immediately bit his fingers and nodded.
"Yes, my son and my eldest brother caught a lot of them yesterday."
As soon as her words fell, Li Shimin immediately laughed.
"Okay, then let's go to the East Palace now, and then my father will ask your eldest brother to give you another bag, okay?"
"Good!"
Soon, Li Shimin took Li Mingda to the East Palace.
At this time, Gao Ming was holding the little tiger in the courtyard to bask in the sun, and there was a plate of fried locusts on the stone table.
Seeing this scene, Li Shimin suddenly snorted coldly.
"Hmph, you're going to enjoy it!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Gao Ming quickly straightened up from the recliner, revealing a look of surprise.
"Huh? Old man, why are you here? ”
"Hmph, why can't I come, don't you want me to come?"
Seeing his "I'm very unhappy" expression, Gao Ming quickly stood up, and then piled up a smile at him.
"How dare I! Come on, come on, please take a seat, Wan'er, go and prepare tea......"
"No need!"
Before Gao Ming could finish speaking, Li Shimin immediately waved his hand at him, and then pointed to the plate of fried grasshoppers on the stone table.
"I'm here for it this time."
When Gao Ming heard Li Shimin's words, he suddenly realized.
"I see, then you're welcome, please use it!"
Seeing Gao Ming so "acquaintance", Li Shimin nodded, and then reached out to catch the locusts on the plate, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was stopped by Li Mingda.
"Father, the eldest brother said that after eating the first fried locust, you have to wait for half an hour, if the locust god does not punish you before you can eat the second one, otherwise you will have to worry about your life!"
Hearing Li Mingda's words, Li Shimin immediately frowned, and then turned his head to look at Gao Ming.
"Is that the case?"
Looking at Li Shimin's expression of "you don't lie to me", Gao Ming's heart was suddenly full of helplessness, but he could only nod stubbornly.
"That's right, that's it, if after eating the first locust, you have dizziness and vomiting, red and itchy on your body, or something wrong within half an hour, you can't eat it anymore, otherwise you will really worry about your life!"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin's face also became serious.
"You mean this locust is poisonous?"
