Chapter 541: It's good to have subordinates
Xu Jingzong came to visit, Li Xiu chatted with the other party for a few words, and immediately ordered someone to prepare a banquet, which also made Xu Jingzong even more happy, after all, he came to visit Li Xiu before, and most of them could only get a cup of tea, but now Li Xiu asked people to prepare a banquet, which obviously shows that his weight in the other party's heart has increased, and it is also a very face-saving thing to be able to talk about wine with people like Li Xiu.

One dish after another was served, Li Xiu did not drink is a well-known thing, so he also replaced the wine with tea and toasted Xu Jingzong a few times, which also made Xu Jingzong feel even more flattered, but at this moment, Li Xiu suddenly glanced at Yuechan beside him, although Yuechan was a little hesitant about this, but he nodded lightly and withdrew, and after a while, he personally sent a plate of freshly fried locusts.
"Guogong, you...... What are you ......" Xu Jingzong saw that Li Xiu actually asked someone to bring a plate of locusts, and he couldn't help but look at him in shock, his expression was almost exactly the same as Yang Dui and the others before.
"Author Lang, when you came here today, you must have seen the ravages of locusts outside, right?" Li Xiu said with a smile, and at the same time, he picked up the locust and put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it, but although the locust tasted good, he had already eaten too much today, so he didn't feel very delicious eating it now.
"This locust plague is indeed menacing, but I heard that the imperial court has already taken countermeasures against this locust plague, so don't worry too much about the horses!" Xu Jingzong comforted Li Xiu in the end, but his eyes were still staring at the locusts in front of him, and he really couldn't understand what Li Xiu meant?
"The imperial court does have some countermeasures, but this is far from enough, it just so happened that I found that locusts are actually a rare delicacy, if everyone in the Tang Dynasty likes to eat locusts, there is no need to worry too much about locust plagues in the future!" Li Xiu said with a smile at this time.
"This ...... Locusts ...... "Xu Jingzong originally wanted to ask if locusts can also be eaten?" But seeing that Li Xiu ate so deliciously, he didn't dare to ask this sentence, but he really couldn't believe that locusts were a delicacy!
"Don't be stunned, why don't you hurry up and taste the taste?" Li Xiu said to Xu Jingzong very enthusiastically at this time, this time Xu Jingzong had to eat if he didn't eat it, and he had to pretend to be interested, pick up a locust and throw it into his mouth, but soon found out that what Li Xiu said was true, and the locust was not as unpalatable as he imagined.
"The horse is really a god, he can find that the locusts are so delicious, if it can be promoted, those locusts outside will become people's meals!" Xu Jingzong was also very excited at this time, Li Xiu's discovery can be big or small, if it can really be promoted, maybe it can turn harm into benefit.
"That being said, but I've been worrying about how to promote the eating of locusts, and now that the court is in an eventful time, Your Majesty definitely doesn't have to count on it, and I'm usually busy, so I can't spare time to do this, so I'm also very distressed now!" When Li Xiu said the end, he couldn't help but blush, but at this time, in order to let Xu Jingzong understand what he meant, he couldn't care about it.
Xu Jingzong is a good person, so he naturally heard the meaning of Li Xiu's words, which made him smile bitterly in his heart, he knew that this was the case, he shouldn't have taken it just now, but now it's too late to regret it, and since he has climbed to Li Xiu's backer, he naturally has to show his worth, otherwise why would people promote you?
It can be said that in an instant, Xu Jingzong made a decision, and assured Li Xiu with an unshirkable expression: "Guogong, if you believe Xiaguan's words, this matter will be handed over to Xiaguan, although I dare not guarantee the effect, Xiaguan will definitely do his best to let more people know that locusts can be eaten!" ”
"Okay, since you are so hearted in the Yan clan, then you are not welcome, this matter is not big, it is not small, if it is successfully promoted in the future, thereby reducing the loss of the locust plague, then you will definitely become famous in the world because of the Yan clan, and it is not impossible to become a great minister in the future!" Li Xiu didn't even refuse, and directly made a decision.
Xu Jingzong heard that Li Xiu no longer called himself a position, but called himself by his own words, especially when Li Xiu said that he might be a great minister, which also made him even more excited, although he has always been unwilling to live under others, and he has indeed become a great minister in the future, but for him now, this is a thing that he can't even think about.
Xu Jingzong took over the promotion of locusts, and Li Xiu repeatedly promised that he would fully support him, which also made Xu Jingzong a little more confident, and immediately asked Li Xiu for advice on locust practices, and Li Xiu also gave it away.
Next, Li Xiu and Xu Jingzong also talked happily, and finally he personally sent the other party out of the door, seeing Xu Jingzong's carriage disappear on the official road, then he smiled, no wonder many people are willing to be the boss, it is indeed a very cool thing to order his subordinates to do things, and if something happens in the future, there are also subordinates in front of him.
At dinner, Li Xiu specially ordered Yuechan to fry the locusts, and as a result, he and a few little guys ate very well, Princess Pingyang was fine, she didn't pick anything to eat in the army before, so she tasted a few and felt good, but she didn't eat much, but Yiniang was very repulsive to locusts, after all, women have some instinctive fear of this kind of insect thing.
"Madam, this locust is really delicious, you can taste one and you'll know!" Seeing that Yi Niang didn't eat, Yuechan smiled and persuaded at this time.
"No, I don't dare to eat it, do you dare to eat it too?" Yi Niang looked at the locusts in front of her, and then looked at Yuechan and said, Princess Pingyang was not surprised that she dared to eat her, but she didn't believe that other women also dared to eat it.
"Giggle~, Madame underestimates me, not to mention locusts, frogs, snakes and other things have eaten a lot!" Yuechan said with a crisp smile at this time, and said that she directly took a locust and put it in her mouth, and she even ate it very deliciously.
"Frogs and snakes? How can you eat such disgusting things? Yi Niang couldn't help but exclaim when she heard Yuechan's answer, compared to locusts, frogs and snakes seemed to be more terrifying in her eyes.
"Okay, Yi Niang, don't force yourself if you don't like to eat!" didn't wait for Yuechan to speak, but Li Xiu preemptively spoke at this time, because he found that Yuechan heard Yiniang's inquiry, and her face became a little unnatural, which seemed to evoke some not very good memories.
