Roasted grasshoppers, roasted grasshoppers, this is the delicacy in Su Ren's mouth. Although Su Ren's cooking skills are very good, he is not very good at this kind of game. The mouth of the food he ate was full of green water, and several children vomited disgustingly.

Grasshoppers, that is, locusts. In normal seasons, it seems harmless to humans and animals, and it can be entertaining to catch them, but when thousands or even hundreds of thousands or millions act together, it becomes a disaster. There was no grass left behind, nothing was used, and their numerical superiority allowed them to ignore any threat, so they became another name, locust plague.

In addition to the locust plague, grasshoppers are still beneficial. According to research, locusts are rich in chitin. Chitin is known as the sixth most important vital element of the human body after proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. Chitin can increase the pH value of body fluids, improve the acidic environment in the body, remove free radicals in the body, inhibit the damage of peroxide to human tissue cells, activate cells, delay aging, and can eliminate toxins in the body to achieve the effect of detoxification and beauty.

According to the Compendium of Materia Medica, it can treat a variety of diseases alone or in combination, and has the effects of cough and asthma, detoxification, and dialysis. It is mainly used for the treatment of whooping cough, bronchial asthma, pediatric convulsions, sore throat, rash, bronchitis, antispasmodics, etc., and has the effects of lowering blood pressure, losing weight, lowering cholesterol, nourishing and strengthening the stomach and spleen. Long-term food can prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, external use can also treat otitis media, frosted grasshoppers are a good medicine for the treatment of bacillary dysentery and enteritis.

Since grasshoppers can be used as medicine, they can naturally be eaten, and the three grasshoppers in Yunnan are a dish, and the grasshoppers in Tianjin are all regarded as local characteristics. In the Chinese recipe, except for the plane flying in the sky and the bench with legs on the ground cannot be eaten, everything can be listed in the recipe, provided that it is cooked. In a situation like Su Ren, where his mouth is full of green water, ordinary people really don't have this ability.

Huo Quzhi, Su Jian, Princess Dangli, and even Luo Datou have not suffered much, let alone eaten grasshoppers that seem to have no appetite. After spitting up without even sour water, Huo Quzhi stood three feet away and asked, "Master, do you eat this too?" ”

Su Rengang stuffed one of the fattest grasshoppers into his mouth and nodded: "Eat!" This thing eats grass, and it's much cleaner than the feces and urine stuff of pigs and dogs. ”

"Uh......!" Another flurry of retching. Princess Dangli vomited: "Grandpa, can you not say it so disgusting?" ”

"What does it mean to be disgusting? If you poop and pee yourself, you won't be disgusted? You boys, you haven't suffered a single thing! When there is no food to eat, not to mention grasshoppers, even rats and caterpillars can eat them. Su Ren swallowed the grasshopper in one mouthful, and then said: "Tell you, Lao Tzu was trapped in the desert before, surrounded by a piece of yellow sand, there was nothing, the weather was hot, and people would die if they didn't drink water, what do you say should I do?" ”

Several of the children shook their heads. Su Ren smiled: "In order to preserve water, Lao Tzu lived by drinking his own urine for three days, fortunately he came out, otherwise you wouldn't have seen me today, let alone Su Jian, a villain." ”

"Ahh Can you drink the pee, too? ”

Su Ren picked up a roasted black grasshopper again: "Of course you can't drink it, urine is actually waste water discharged from the human body, but it's also water, and on the one hand, you are dying and drinking urine on the other side to have hope of living, which one do you choose?" ”

Luo Datou thought about it, mustered up the courage to come to Su Ren's side, picked the smallest grasshopper, and looked at it for a long time: "I choose to drink urine!" After speaking, he stuffed the grasshopper into his mouth and chewed it with his eyes closed.

Su Ren smiled and slapped Luo Datou on the back of the head: "The child can be taught!" Not bad, promising! ”

finally swallowed the little grasshopper, and poured it into the water bag, which made it more comfortable: "My father said that as long as he can live, he can do anything." ”

Su Ren nodded, picked up another one and handed it to Luo Datou: "You Lao Tzu is right, come and eat another one, the taste is okay, look at those soft eggs and ignore them in the future." ”

With the first time, it is not so uncomfortable to eat it again the second time. Taking the grasshopper in Su Ren's hand, Luo Datou took a deep breath and stuffed it into his mouth.

In order not to let Luo Datou look down on himself, Huo Quzhi also tried it. Both of them ate, and Su Jian gritted his teeth and ate it too. After a few people finished eating, they all looked at Dangli. Dangli shook his head and shrank back: "Don't eat!" I don't even eat it if I kill it, this thing is too dirty. ”

Su Ren said: "That's it, if you eat one, you can help your father, do you eat it?" ”

Dangli thought for a while: "What does eating this have to do with helping my father?" My father will not be hungry and have nothing to eat, let alone go to the desert that my grandfather said. ”

"Maybe that's okay, maybe something else can stump your father, and then only eating grasshoppers can solve it, when Lyco is willing to replace your father?" Su Ren took the last grasshopper in his hand and said, "You should practice today, you won't be afraid at that time, otherwise if you don't eat it at that time, your father won't dare to eat it, and people will look down on it." ”

"My father is the emperor, who dares to look down on him?"

"Many people will look down on you, at least Ah Gong and I will look down on me, and I will never be friends with your father again, and you won't be able to come to my house to play with your brother Su Jian."

When Lidu was about to cry, he stood alone in the distance and was extremely helpless. Huo Quzhi wanted to replace Dangli, but was glared at by Su Ren. took two steps forward, squatted down, and looked at the aggrieved little girl, Su Ren shook the grasshopper twice in front of Dangli's eyes: "You ate today, and when your father doesn't dare to eat it another day, you will stand up and be the first to eat, do you think your father will love you more?" Your father is not afraid, he eats others will respect your father even more, come and taste it, it's really delicious. ”

The grasshopper was huge, blackened by the roast, and its wings, legs, and head had been removed, making it even more ugly. When Li leaned in and sniffed it, there was a burnt smell, and there was no stench as expected.

"Can you really help my father?"

Su Ren nodded solemnly: "Of course, when did Ah Gong deceive Xiao Dangli?" ”

In the end, it was a dragon species, and after being sure again and again, he closed his eyes and opened his mouth to take a small bite. The hard shell of arthropods is very uncomfortable in the mouth, and the tongue and mucous membranes are painful when rubbed. While weeping, I chewed, and green water dripped down the corners of my mouth onto my clothes. Su Ren smiled slightly: "When it is good, she really deserves to be the future daughter-in-law of my Su family!" ”

The grasshopper feast is finally over. Since everyone has eaten it, there is no need for further coercion. Once there will be a second time, and the next time you will make it delicious. Deep-fried or braised are good choices, and the taste is not so unpalatable.

After playing all morning, several people got muddy. The wild bull didn't know where to get a nest of hares, one big and six small, which made a few little guys instantly forget the unhappiness of eating grasshoppers just now. Dangli hugged a little rabbit and kept comforting. In the end, it was a hare, no matter how Dangli appeased, the little rabbit jumped in his arms one by one, if it wasn't for Su Jian's help, the little rabbit would have run away a long time ago.

Farmers in the fields are smiling. They are no strangers to this Mr. Su, although he is a doctor of the academy, he has no shelf at all. He can often be seen taking a few children out to play, and sometimes he will squat on the ridge with the old farmer to talk a few words, and when it comes to farming, he knows that Mr. Su is a good person.

Because of the relationship between the academy, Louguantai now has many families. Most of them are people from the neighborhood, who have taken advantage of more than 1,000 teachers and students to do a small business here. The most food is sold, followed by the sale of some family products. Although the academy does not allow students to go out without permission, it must be that the forest is too big to have any birds, and it is impossible to completely eradicate it. Business can also support itself.

June is the time when apricots are ripe, and Su Ren took the children to the apricot orchard of Granny Zhang's family. Now that it is ripe, Granny Zhang set up a stall outside the academy, and when she saw Su Ren and a few people coming, she hurriedly greeted: "Mr. Su is back, come, take a few apricots and go back to taste." ”

The golden apricots are actually sour and astringent, and Su Ren doesn't like them. Since Granny Zhang invited, it was difficult to refuse, so she took a few children to pick a dozen in Granny Zhang's box, and forced five dollars to be given, and the buyer and seller happily completed the business. In order to express her hospitality, Granny Zhang stuffed a few more to Su Ren: "Mr. Su, take these back to Mrs. to eat, you will definitely be able to give birth to a son after eating apricots!" Su Ren thanked him again and again.

The two of them were talking happily, Hawking rushed out of the academy on horseback, and when he saw Su Ren from afar, he shouted: "Big brother, hurry, Sister Dong is going to give birth!" ”

I couldn't care about greeting Granny Zhang anymore, so I ran to the academy with apricots in my arms. Granny Zhang's hearty laughter came from behind: "Mr. Su, if you eat my apricots, you will definitely be able to give birth to a son!" ”

Hawking didn't expect that his eldest brother would run so fast today, and even Black Wind couldn't catch up. Like the last cold moon production, there were a bunch of people in the Su family's yard. Dong Zhongshu had already invited Chun Yuyi to sit in town, and since Chun Yuyi delivered Mrs. Wei once, the people of Chang'an had privately given the old man the nickname of the Holy Hand of Gynecology.

Dong Qian cried out heartbreakingly in the delivery room, although Su Ren was a little impatient, fortunately, it was not the first time he had experienced it, and he didn't have much to worry about. A baby's cry broke the panic, and Leng Yue rushed out of the room to report the good news to everyone as soon as possible: "It's born, it's a son, mother and son are safe!" ”

You can hear the sound of people breathing a sigh of relief. Dong Zhongshu's excited beard was shaking, and in the face of everyone's congratulations, he showed a big smile for the first time.

Luo Datou asked the little friend next to him while eating the sour apricots: "What do you think Mr. will give the child a name?" ”

Huo Quzhi smiled: "It's best to call Su grasshopper!" ”

Luo Datou was stunned for a moment, and then nodded with a smile.
