In the face of Li Xiu's kindness, Chef Liu, who was cautious by nature, was embarrassed to refuse, and finally stepped forward with a smirk and pinched a fried locust, and then threw it whole into his mouth. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Huh? This one...... This locust tastes pretty good! Chef Liu nodded in admiration while chewing on the locusts, and couldn't help but grab a few more and throw them into his mouth, feeling like he couldn't stop.

Seeing that Chef Liu ate so deliciously, several other assistant chefs were also very curious, and a few bold ones also stepped forward to taste it, and the results were all full of praise, which also made the rest of the people finally muster up the courage and stepped forward to taste it, but in the blink of an eye, the fried locusts in Li Xiu's hands were less than half.

Yang Nong couldn't help but show a curious look when he saw everyone's performance, he didn't expect that the disgusting locusts that he had looked at would make Chef Liu and the others praise the deliciousness, which also aroused his curiosity, and finally simply came over and pinched a locust and tasted it, and found that the taste was really good, and after the locust was fried, it didn't look so unacceptable.

"I didn't expect locusts to really be able to eat!" Yang Nong chewed and swallowed the whole locust, and then said with a shocked face, the taste of this locust is indeed good, and it can even be called delicious, of course, such a luxurious method of frying is also one of the reasons why the locusts are delicious.

"Yang Gong, you said that if everyone in our Datang likes to eat locusts, then this locust plague may not be so terrible!" Li Xiu said with a smile at this time, he knows very well the strength of the Chinese's teeth, such as the famous crayfish in later generations, which was originally an invasive species, but was eaten by the Chinese into a species that can only survive by breeding.

"What does the horse mean......" Yang Nong was stunned for a moment when he heard Li Xiu's words, and then seemed to understand something, but he was a little vague, so he couldn't help but turn his head to look at him.

"Hehe, what I mean is actually very simple, there are so many locusts outside now, in my eyes, they are all delicious, and I can't eat them all by myself, so it's better to let everyone taste it!" When he said this, he saw that the smile on Li Xiu's face became a little ill-intentioned, and he immediately instructed Chef Liu, "Chef Liu, you go and let people catch more locusts and come back, and then do more according to what I just did, and add a dish to the officials of our Ministry of Agriculture!" ”

Chef Liu was also shocked to hear that Li Xiu actually let him catch locusts to cook, although he was afraid of Li Xiu's identity, but at this time he still whispered with an embarrassed face: "Don Ma, this locust plague was descended by the locust god, and it is nothing to eat a few occasionally, but if you eat too much, if you anger the locust god, what if you will send a bigger locust plague in the future?" ”

"Chef Liu, you are wrong to think so, the number of locusts in the locust plague is countless, even if we don't eat it, there are many locusts that have been injured by mistake, and you see those chickens, ducks and birds all eat locusts, and I haven't seen the locust god punish them, so in my opinion, the locust god will definitely not live or die in the locusts, after all, chickens and ducks can eat, why can't we eat them, is it so difficult that we are not as good as chickens and ducks?" Li Xiu quibbled at this time.

"This ......" Chef Liu is just a rough man who has never read a book, naturally he can't compete with Li Xiu's mouth, and even he thinks that Li Xiu's words are reasonable, after all, he is a world-famous talent, and he must be more knowledgeable than himself, so although Chef Liu hesitated, he finally nodded and agreed, and then personally took two people to catch locusts.

When it was time for lunch, the officials who had been busy all morning were also hungry, so as soon as the meal started, everyone rushed into the canteen, although the status of the Ministry of Agriculture was not as good as the six departments, but it was very important, and the imperial court was also very generous to the Ministry of Agriculture, so there was not only a canteen in the Ministry of Agriculture, but also a special restaurant, this restaurant was designed by Li Xiu, and the restaurant in the school in later generations was almost the same.

Yang Nong is old, Li Xiu doesn't care about anything, plus the cultivation of the two of them, so the real second-in-command in the yamen is actually Yang Nong's nephew Yang Dui, compared to the elderly Yang Nong, Yang Dui is in the prime of life, and today he is leading the officials in the yamen to drive away the locusts, but even so, some crops planted in the yamen still suffer some losses.

Yang Dui was busy all morning, his feet did not touch the ground, and he didn't even eat breakfast, and finally it was noon, at this time he also felt empty in his stomach, so he asked his subordinates to stop, and then took people to the restaurant, ready to eat something to continue to drive away locusts, in his experience, locusts will only stay in one place for a few days, and when the locusts eat almost the plants on the surface, they will fly away immediately, and it is precisely for this reason that raising chickens and ducks to eliminate locusts and the like is simply!

However, when Yang Dui and the others dragged their tired bodies to the restaurant, they found that Li Xiu and Yang Nong were both in the restaurant, which made them all stunned.

"Uncle, donkey, what are you ......doing" Yang Dui immediately stepped forward and saluted, and then looked at them with a puzzled expression, after all, it was really unusual for Li Xiu and Yang Nong to appear in the restaurant together.

"It's nothing, don't worry about us, and it's been a busy morning today, everyone must be hungry, hurry up and eat!" Li Xiu said loudly with a smile, and then asked Yang Dui to take the lead in cooking, which made Yang Dui feel very strange, but he didn't dare to ask more.

Today is relatively busy, so the meals prepared by Chef Liu are also more sumptuous, large pieces of pork plus cold cucumber beans, meat and vegetables are very well matched, but people have no appetite, but Yang Dui and they are also hungry, so they picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat.

But at this moment, I suddenly saw that Chef Liu suddenly walked out, followed by two assistant cooks, carrying a large wooden barrel, the barrel was full of vegetables, at first glance the color was golden, and it also had a strange fragrance, which attracted mouthwater, but when they saw the contents of the bucket, Yang Dui and others couldn't help but feel a little sick to their stomachs, because the vegetables in the bucket turned out to be locusts.

"Chef Liu, why did you bring the locusts, take them out!" Yang Dui saw the locusts in the bucket, and couldn't help but say at the moment, his tone was not very good, after all, they had been "fighting" with locusts all morning today, and now they were all angry when they saw locusts, but this Chef Liu still used locusts to block them, how could he not be angry?
