Chapter 33: Crunch

Pour some oil on it, then roast it thoroughly through the tiles, and finally sprinkle some salt on it, so that the roasted locusts not only ensure their integrity, but also let them be thoroughly cooked.

And it tastes charred and fragrant, and the taste is very refreshing.

A total of fifteen were roasted, and Qin Ze ate five by himself, and then the locusts were brought out.

Cheng Lao Demon came faster than Qin Ze estimated, and when he took the things out, he saw Cheng Lao Demon enter the courtyard.

Qin Ze put down the things in his hand, bowed to Cheng Lao Demon and said, "I don't know what Cheng Zhijie came for today?"

Cheng Lao Demon saw the locusts on the table at a glance, and he also knew Qin Ze's temperament, so he said directly: "Don't talk to a certain person here, it's useless, why did you come to your kid don't know." Say, what's this for? ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the locusts on the table and asked curiously.

Cheng Lao Demon was greatly inspired by the matter of Yicang, but the details were not very clear, so he was ready to ask. I didn't want to see this locust as soon as I entered the door, so I put it aside at the moment.

"This is the food that the kid entertained to Cheng Zhijie." As he spoke, he picked up the plate and handed it to Cheng Laoyou.

"What!?" Not only Cheng Laoyou, but even Wang Fu and Cheng Huailiang were also surprised.

The three of them all looked at Qin Ze with wide eyes, wanting to see if he was joking, but looking at the sincere look on the other party's face, it didn't look like he was joking.

In the end, Cheng Huailiang coughed lightly, pointed to the "lively" locust, and said with an embarrassed face: "Brother Qin, it's not a joke, this thing is highly poisonous, you can't eat it casually."

"That is, although you usually eat some strange things, you must not eat this thing casually." Wang Fu also echoed on the side, but he still wondered if Qin Ze had a problem with his brain.

Qin Ze knew that the idea that locusts were poisonous had been ingrained in their hearts, so he directly picked up a locust and asked a simple question to the three of them: "You all say that this thing is poisonous, but no one has tasted it personally, since you haven't tasted it, how can you prove that this thing is poisonous."

Cheng Laoyou and the three of them were all stunned after hearing this, and said in their hearts that this kid is not sick in the brain, and everyone who has tasted it with his own mouth is dead, how can he prove it?

"Boy, aren't you confused? I came here to hear what Yicang thinks, but I didn't come to see you taking poison. Cheng Laoyou's face was disdainful, I don't know if he was laughing at Qin Ze's ignorance, or if he was despising something.

If the Tang Dynasty had the word death, they would definitely use this to describe Qin Ze.

Qin Ze knew that they wouldn't believe it if they didn't let them see it with their own eyes, so in front of the three of them, he directly stuffed the locust in his hand into his mouth.

"Don't!"

The three of them all screamed, completely unexpecting that Qin Ze would actually eat this thing. They all rushed to Qin Ze, one hugged Qin Ze, and the other moved Qin Ze's mouth with all his might. The most hateful thing is Cheng Lao Demon, who punched Qin Ze's stomach.

But after all, it was too late, and Qin Ze swallowed the locusts in one bite.

Originally, there was nothing at all, but after receiving a heavy punch from Cheng Laoyou, his face turned blue at the moment, and he squatted down holding his stomach.

"It's over, it's over. Poisoned. Cheng Huailiang also let go of his hand and stood aside and watched Qin Ze struggle with a painful expression.

Cheng Lao Demon over there didn't give up, so he was going to rush up and punch Qin Ze again, wanting him to spit out the locusts.

How could Qin Ze be willing to do this, the strength of this guy's punch didn't shock him to vomit, but almost pierced his stomach. If this is another punch, it is estimated that he will have to prove his death to the locusts.

"No, it's fine." Qin Ze squatted down and stretched out a hand to block Cheng Lao Demon with difficulty.

"Are you alright?" Cheng Lao Demon also found that Qin Ze had been struggling for a long time, and looking at his appearance, he didn't want to be poisoned, so he asked tentatively.

Qin Ze really wanted to rush up and grab his ears and tell him loudly: "The locusts didn't poison me, but you will kill me."

"It's okay, just squat for a while." The colic pain in Qin Ze's stomach was about to hurt out of his eyes. But he still tried to remain as calm as he could.

Just kidding, if he shows something unusual, he won't be punched by Cheng Laoyou. When the time comes, you won't be able to die.

Why did Qin Ze squat on the ground for a pillar of incense for a while, and then he stood up tremblingly and holding on to his chair.

At this time, Cheng Laoyou also realized that he had just shot too hard. Especially when he saw Qin Ze's appearance, he couldn't figure out why. At the moment, he was also looking at Qin Ze and smirking, reaching out to not laugh at people's faces, Cheng Laoyou's cheekiness is not comparable to ordinary people.

"Are you really okay?" Cheng Lao Demon still didn't believe it.

Qin Ze nodded, grabbed another one and put it in his mouth and chewed it. At the end, it tasted back: "Crunchy!"

Cheng Laoyou hesitated for a long time, and finally grabbed one and put it in his mouth, quite like a big husband who will never return.

This time, not only did he find that it was not poisonous, but this guy also ate the delicacy of locusts. Directly shouted to catch some and let his cook go back to cook and eat.

How can this be, if he makes such a fuss, Qin Ze's plan will not be all in vain. immediately grabbed Cheng Lao Demon and told him his plan.

"Cheng Zhijie, don't do anything about this, except for Your Majesty, no one else can know. Can you understand this? ”

Qin Ze didn't believe that Cheng Laoyou, who could live under Li Er's nose, would not be able to understand this problem.

So after being broken, I immediately reacted. lowered his head and hesitated for a while, but when he raised his head again, he already had a serious face.

This was the first time Qin Ze had seen Cheng Laoyou's expression, and he was also empty for no reason. Who is Cheng Laoyou, that is a master who pretends to be confused with understanding, and he must pay attention to timing when talking to him.

For example, if you are like this, you must not be presumptuous, you have to ask what you say.

"Boy, tell me the truth, what are you doing this for?" Cheng Lao Demon lowered his face, stared at Qin Ze with a pair of eyes and asked.

Qin Ze knew that it was time for him to behave, so he stood up suddenly, saluted at Cheng Lao Demon and said, "The survival of the eldest husband in the world is nothing more than fame and fortune. Although the boy has lost his past memories, he doesn't want to live his life, and it is his lifelong wish to be able to share his worries for the king. ”

It's disgusting to say, but in simple terms, I want a petty official to do or two small dollars to spend.

Cheng Lao Demon listened to Qin Ze's words, raised his eyebrows at the moment, slapped Qin Ze under the shoulder, and slapped him on the back.

"I met my appetite, and I wrote it down." As he spoke, he packed up the few remaining locusts, asked about the specific things in Yicang, waved his hand and left with Cheng Huailiang and Wang Fu.

There is no way, Qin Ze can't tell Cheng Laoyou, I was hunted down and killed by Taoist people, you have to tell Your Majesty to support me. If he really dared to say this, no matter whether Li Er supported him or not, he and Daoist Liang Zi would take it. At that time, it is estimated that he will be able to run the first year of junior high school, and he will not be able to run the fifteenth.

Therefore, it is much simpler to tell Cheng Laoyou directly that he uses the reason of being an official and a half-job or seeking wealth.

Anyway, I just hope that Li Er knows who he is, of course, it is better to be a petty official.

Besides, the old demon Cheng came out of the courtyard, and he was not idle for a moment, and now Li Er is worried about the people's hearts. I also know that I have to tell Li Er about this as soon as possible.

instructed his subordinates to prepare the carriage, and Cheng Laoyou, who had just returned home from the court, hurried towards the palace again.

In the main hall of Taiji Palace, Li Er is sitting behind a pile of movements.

In the past, after the next dynasty, he would always find the great Confucians to discuss knowledge, which was also his own way of entertainment. But today he didn't have this leisure, especially when he saw this large pile of music in front of him, he was even more annoyed.

You don't need to look at him to know what is written in these cantatas, which is nothing more than a request for disaster relief from the imperial court. But there are too many places, and the court can't do anything for a while.

Empress Eldest Sun came from the side, holding a bowl of sweet soup in her hand. This is also the eldest grandson's best food, and of course, it is also Li Er's favorite thing.

Badly boiled millet, with a lot of sweet frost in it, tastes like sugar. However, for Li Er, who loves sweets, it is very delicious, and even gave it the name of sweet phoenix soup.

Li Er, who was worried, sighed deeply when he saw his eldest grandson coming.

The eldest grandson thoughtfully delivered the sweet phoenix soup to Li Er, turned around and stood up and gently rubbed his forehead.

"But it's still a locust plague?" When a husband has troubles, it is natural for a wife to ask about it.

"The last time Wuji came to tell me about the locust plague, I didn't pay much attention to it, and now it seems that it would have been nice to listen to him." Li Er lowered his head and drank a spoonful of sweet phoenix soup, and said regretfully.

If you can listen to the words of the eldest grandson Wuji last time, at least you can arrange some in advance, and you can stifle the rumors at the beginning, and now ......

"It's all because the elder brother didn't make it clear, which made the second brother suffer." The eldest grandson naturally knew what he was going to say at this time.

Li Er listened to the words of the eldest grandson, and also felt a little better. Just as he was about to bow his head and continue to drink the soup, he suddenly heard someone report that Cheng Zhijie had something to ask His Majesty to receive him.

Li Er, who was still sad at this time, was also happy, he really couldn't understand what Cheng Lao Demon was doing at this time. But he nodded and motioned to bring him in. The eldest grandson on one side also naturally retreated.

Cheng Lao Demon brought a total of seven locusts, and when he walked on the road, he couldn't help but eat two secretly. The remaining five were only put in a box, and they were brought to see His Majesty.

As soon as he saw Li Ercheng's old demon, he immediately knelt down to say goodbye, but the box next to him attracted all Li Ercheng's attention.

Waving his hand to let Cheng Lao Demon get up, he pointed to the box and asked with some curiosity: "Say, what did you bring to me?" But what kind of auspicious is it? ”

When talking about Xiangrui, Li Er obviously meant mockery. Because last time, Cheng Lao Demon didn't know where to find a colorful rooster, and happily dedicated it to Li Er.

As a result, a group of ministers studied for half an hour, and finally came to a conclusion, that is, the feathers on the rooster were glued to it, and Cheng Laoyou was obviously tricked.

It was also because of this incident that he was teased by the ministers until now. Until now, when Xiangrui is mentioned, this guy is embarrassed.
