Chapter 50

Crayfish!

That's right, the tub was full of crayfish.

"What? Are they all delicious? ”

Hearing Tang Yu actually say that this field pest was delicious, the third prince Tang Shuheng was shocked, and even Tang Huang's face showed a look of horror.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, did you drink too much yesterday and your brain is not sober?"

"Yes! This pest is a nuisance, they are extremely reproductive, they can be found everywhere in rice paddies, and they love to burrow, which is very difficult to catch! ”

"And that's not all! They are very dirty inside, someone has eaten them before, not only is it extremely unpalatable, but that person also died of diarrhea! ”

Suddenly, many courtiers spoke one after another, and in their eyes, Tang Yu said that this crayfish was delicious, which was simply a crazy remark.

"Ninth brother, do you hear that? How can this pest be delicious? Tang Shuheng said in a deep voice.

Tang Yu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Everyone, this is really delicious, but you won't handle it!" ”

Just now, Tang Yu was still curious about what kind of pests were flooding the fields, and when he saw that it was a crayfish, Tang Yu instantly understood.

Before the crossing, every summer, Tang Yu would ask his comrades to come out to eat crayfish and drink beer in his spare time, he clearly remembered that the scientific name of crayfish is crayfish, which is an aquatic animal of the crustacean crayfish family, not an insect.

In addition, lobsters mainly live in streams, swamps, ditches, and ponds, and like to eat the stems of plants, which can pose a threat to crops such as rice in paddy fields.

There are many water systems in the Tang Dynasty, and the residents mainly plant rice, and the crayfish reproduce very quickly, no wonder they will be treated as pests by the people of the Tang Dynasty, and the living habits of the crayfish like to dig holes, which will destroy and weaken the embankment, and it is no wonder that the civil and military officials of the court said that it is difficult to catch.

Tang Yu knew that in China, crayfish were introduced from abroad in 1929 for domestic breeding, and then escaped, quickly occupying the water bodies in southern China, which belonged to the second-class invasive species, which had a serious impact on China's ecology, but later the Chinese chef was stunned to find that crayfish could be cooked, and it was extremely delicious.

Later, the Chinese people who faced the invasion of crayfish dealt with it very simply, that is, eat and eat.

At present, in China, crayfish have been eaten and need to be farmed.

It's just that the ancients didn't know that crayfish could still be eaten, because of the destruction of rice seedlings, they could only treat crayfish as pests.

"Yu'er, are you sure it's delicious?" Tang Huang was incredulous.

Tang Yu laughed and said, "Yes, Father, this is really delicious!" Just now I thought it was some kind of pest, but it turned out to be this crayfish! If this crayfish is flooded in a large area across the country, it is not good that the imperial court will not need to provide disaster relief and grain, and the crisis of displaced people can be easily resolved! ”

"Nonsense! Father, don't listen to the nonsense of the ninth brother! Tang Shuheng said immediately.

The eldest prince, Tang Long, was not calm either: "Father, as we all know, this pest is harmless, how can this thing be eaten?" ”

"Don't believe it, do you? Bring these two pots of crayfish to the imperial dining room! Tang Yu rolled up his sleeves excitedly.

As a lover of spicy crayfish, Tang Yu has already thought of how to cook spicy crayfish.

"This..."

The great eunuch Zhao Gao looked up at Emperor Tang.

Emperor Tang had a strange expression, he really couldn't believe that this field pest would be a delicacy.

Tang Yu patted his chest and said, "Father, I don't do anything that I am not sure of, don't worry, wait for the child to let my father know what is called the best taste in the world!" ”

"Good! Move to the Imperial Dining Room! Seeing Tang Yu Chengzhu's appearance in his chest, Emperor Tang opened his mouth and said solemnly.

The third prince's face changed: "Father, you can't let the ninth brother mess around!" ”

"Needless to say!" Emperor Tang didn't look at Tang Shuheng more.
