Chapter 10: Field Moth Meat (continued)

******

It's not easy for newcomers, ask for recommendations and collections! Dabai earnestly asks for the support of all those who pass by!

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun both knew that the eldest grandson was Mowgli, and Cheng Biting Jin would never harm them, so they were very relieved about this plate of food.

When Empress Changsun saw that her eldest brother and Cheng Biting Jin had eaten, she also took one, put it in her mouth and chewed it gently, as if she remembered something, and said: "Your Majesty, we used to go to the fields to work, and the concubines ate locusts when they saw the chickens in the fields, and I didn't see any chickens that were poisoned because of eating locusts, but because of eating locusts, they laid big eggs with big yolks. ”

Li Shimin listened to it and thought it was true, he was not an emperor who didn't care about general affairs, but often paid private visits, chatted with old farmers, and knew a lot about people's livelihood!

"Auxiliary, that's not what you thought of, was it?" Li Shimin's expression returned to calm and asked.

"It's the eldest grandson Chong, the good son of the auxiliary machine and the younger brother's family, and the minister's subordinates happened to see Chongxian's nephew outside the city today and the people burning locusts to eat." Cheng Yanjin hurriedly said to the eldest grandson Chong, if he could alleviate the locust plague, it would be a great achievement.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Cheng Yanjin gratefully and nodded, although the ancients said that the virtuous do not avoid relatives, but if it is said from other people's mouths, it doesn't seem that what his unsuccessful son did is more credible.

"The child dreamed at night, saying that there was a white-bearded old man who gave him a dream at night, saying that locusts are not gods at all, they plague the crops, and the people have no food, so they can naturally eat their meat to solve the problem of food and clothing. Xiao'er also gave this locust meat a nickname Tian Moth Meat! "Eldest Sun Wuji re-said what Eldest Sun Chong said just now, believe it or not, anyway, as long as you are sure that locusts can be eaten and people will not starve to death, then it will be fine, as for the punishment, let's talk about it later!

Empress Eldest Sun was very surprised, this nephew was smart and clever when he was a child, but he grew up and disobeyed discipline, and often fought and brawled, which gave the eldest brother and sister-in-law a headache, but I didn't expect that this time I actually began to care about the national economy and people's livelihood.

Li Shimin nodded, picked up one and ate it, it tasted really good, and said, "What a moth meat!" I am the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, as long as I don't let my people starve to death, if God wants to be angry, he will punish me alone. Cheng Aiqing, you now let people go out to find me more locusts, and get them for death row prisoners to eat overnight, if there is really nothing to do, we will ask the Minister of Cultural Relics to eat this field moth meat! ”

"The Emperor Shengming!" Cheng bit the gold, and the eldest grandson Wuji knelt down one after another.

Cheng Biting Jin went out of the palace gate, took the emperor's token, went out of the city overnight, caught locusts, and gave them to the death row prisoners in the prison overnight, but there was really nothing to do.

In fact, we often see locusts, and the locust plague is just more than usual. People can eat chickens, ducks, and snakes, so why can't they eat locusts?

Li Er handled the complete form, returned to the dormitory of Empress Changsun, and saw that Empress Changsun was taking care of Li Zhi, who was born not long ago, this is the third son of Empress Changsun and Li Shimin.

"Guanyin, you said that let the people of the world eat locusts, is it useless for me to catch the emperor?" Li Shimin will only take off his hard disguise when he is by his beloved wife, Empress Changsun, and no one knows this eloquent man better than Empress Changsun.

Empress Eldest Sun asked the palace maid to take her youngest son Li Zhiyi out, and then slowly walked over and rubbed Li Er's temples.

"Your Majesty, you have thought too much, which of the things in this world is not reserved for us! We can eat grain, chickens, ducks, and fish, so why can't we eat locusts! Besides, Chong'er, this kid, actually gave this thing an elegant name, Tian Moth Meat! Empress Changsun smiled, they all ate locust meat, and they were fine, proving that there was a spectrum in this matter.

Li Er is a man of great talent, he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, he only believes in himself, and said with a smile: "Well, the meat of the moth and the swan have the same sound, there is a saying among the people, the toad eats the meat of the swan, and the toad does eat the locust and the moth, so the homophonic slang obtained from this!"

"I don't know about this concubine, but if this field moth meat can save the people affected by the disaster, then they are not useless." Empress Eldest Sun said with a smile that her brother and nephew were going to make great contributions this time, and she was very happy in her heart.

Li Er hugged the eldest grandson queen and said with a smile: "What Guanyin said is that you will see it when you say it." ”

After a while, Li Er slept at the place of Empress Changsun for the first time after the disaster!

Not long after the eldest grandson Chong returned to the mansion, Han Qiang sent a bag of locusts. Changsun Chong was afraid of scaring the family, so he sent it directly to Changsun Chong's yard, where there was a small kitchen.

"Little steamed buns, little buns, hurry up and boil water for the young master, and get something delicious for you to eat!" The eldest grandson Chong asked the little steamed bun and the little bun to hurry up, just as a supper.

Changsun Chong passed these locusts with hot water, and the two of them were so frightened that the two of them hid behind Changsun Chong. Changsun Chong had no choice but to let them go out, do it himself, fry it in oil, sprinkle it with salt foam, the taste is fragrant, attracting small steamed buns, and the two of them stick their heads out at the door, constantly snorting, smelling the fragrance in the air.

Seeing that Changsun Chong was eating so happily, the little steamed bun was bold, rubbed it in front of Changsun Chong, took a fried locust, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and immediately showed a satisfied smile. The owners rarely eat meat, let alone those of them who are subordinates.

Xiao Baozi saw that the little steamed bun was eaten, and he also took it to eat, and thought it was delicious, so he directly snatched the plate in the hand of the eldest grandson, and said in a coquettish voice: "Young master, it's so delicious, get more!" ”

When Changsun Chong saw these half-grown girls, he shook his head, what kind of service is this!

The eldest grandson Chong fried a lot, and when the little buns and small steamed buns were almost eaten, he said: "Take it to my mother, aunt, and those younger brothers and sisters, and eat it as a supper, just say that this is the moth meat I specially prepared!" ”

The small buns and small steamed buns took the food box, packed a lot, and sent them one by one.

When Dou heard that the moth meat was sent, he didn't care, so after eating a few bites, he felt greasy, so he rewarded it to the maid below.

The two aunts were afraid of getting fat, so they ate a few and stopped eating.

However, those fat brothers, fat sisters, love meat, I heard that there is "swan meat", fragrant and sweet, they are willing to be "toads" to eat the plate to the bottom, and do not forget to lick the oil stains on their hands!

Early the next morning, when I was having breakfast in the breakfast hall, the fat brothers and fat sisters, as soon as they saw the eldest grandson rushing over, they hulala ran over and surrounded the eldest grandson.

"Brother, I want to eat swan meat!"

"I'm going to eat it too!"

・・・・・・・

The eldest grandson squatted down, stretched out his hand, hugged the fat brother on the one hand, and the youngest fat sister on the other, and said, "Okay, my brother promises you, let you eat the moth meat at noon!" There is no more at home, and my brother is going to catch it! ”

"Big brother, the swan meat is delicious, Xiao Shi likes to eat it, Xiao Shi helps his brother catch it together!" The fat younger brother, the eldest grandson Juro, looked at his brother adoringly with Haseko.

"Big brother, Liuniang will also help you catch it!" The little girl patted her fat and fat hands, unwilling to be left behind.

"Okay, they are all good brothers and sisters of the eldest brother, and we also have them in our own family, which are locusts flying around in the garden!" The eldest grandson smiled and said, "Let's hurry up and have breakfast, and the eldest brother will take you to catch it together!" ”

As soon as Aunt Li and Aunt Liu heard that it was fried by locusts, they immediately felt disgusted, ran outside and vomited, Dou's face was not good, and said angrily: "You kid, how can you be messing around!" How can that thing be eaten! ”

"Why can't you eat it! Do people say that field moth meat is delicious? The eldest grandson raised his arms and exhaled, causing many small admirers below to echo him.

"It's delicious, I want to eat it!"

"I'm going to eat it too!"

Fat girl, the fat brothers were very obedient and ate breakfast, took the eldest brother and grandson Chong to the garden, and let the maid catch locusts together.

In the child's concept, they think that locusts, like other small animals, are nothing to be afraid of, and in front of food, everything else is nothing.

At noon, the fat brothers and fat sisters ate happily.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Cheng Biting Jin took the lead and began to deal with the matter of locusts as food, and the ministers ate the meat of the field moth without knowing it, even if they wanted to vomit, they had to hold it in their stomachs.

Issued a notice calling on the people to catch locusts and eat locusts together!

Faced with hunger, after knowing that locusts can be eaten, they spread the word to ten, ten to hundred, and began to catch locusts, and when they could not finish eating, they cooked it, dried it and ground it into powder, and preserved it well, which was also regarded as food.

Since eating locusts, few people have starved to death, and the fight against disasters has been successful.
