"Sister-in-law, are you ready to get up now? How can you be in the mood to eat with us today? "Ever since Mingzhu pretended to be sick, she has been eating in her bedroom. Even Gillian and Bao went out to bask in the sun, all of them were taken by Mrs. Tai.

Mingzhu smiled: "Let's eat first, it's good to eat about it." He turned his head and said to Si Hai again: "Let Si Cha start frying, the one that has just come out of the pot should be delicious." ”

Except for Zhang Wuxi's face becoming more and more pale, several other people looked at it curiously. Wei Shu also asked very happily: "Did sister-in-law find any delicious ingredients?" What is it?! ”

"Ahem," Mingzhu was a little uncomfortable: "It should be ...... It's delicious, isn't it?! Otherwise, no one would have spent a lot of money on it. ”

As soon as these words came out, combined with recent events, Wei Ci and Mrs. Tai both had some understanding.

Li Yuanzheng and Imperial Physician Sun began to resist faintly, "Won't it? The princess is a daughter, so she can't really eat those things, right?!" Thinking that for the sake of dialectical pharmacology, a dose of locusts was decocted...... "I vomited......

Wei Shu was looking forward to the food prepared by his sister-in-law, and suddenly saw the disgusting expressions of the two imperial doctors at this time, and began to feel a little uncomfortable......

At this moment, the small kitchen next door came with the unique smell of fried goods. "Goo" Wei Shu suddenly swallowed his saliva: "Wow, it's so fragrant, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, what is this?" ”

Mingzhu smiled but didn't answer, and when the cumin incense wafted out of the room, the four divisions each held a plate and brought it to the table.

Wei Shu hurriedly looked over, and his face froze: "Sister-in-law...... Son, this ...... What is it? Although he had seen the food on his plate clearly, Wei Shu still couldn't believe it.

Mingzhu actually felt very disconnected in her heart, but she didn't know why, but she still felt that she should try it. Therefore, he pretended not to care and said: "It's a locust, and now it is rumored that this is not only an elixir to replenish qi." And it tastes great. ”

"But, but ......" Wei Shu was shocked: "But aren't these fake?" You made up a statement to deal with the locust plague?! ”

"Second Young Master Wei's words are wrong, although in order to understand the danger of the locust plague, we have exaggerated the effectiveness of the locusts a little. But if it weren't for the fact that eating locusts is really good for the body, we would never dare to talk nonsense. Li Yuan was hurriedly arguing, and Imperial Doctor Sun on the side also nodded quickly.

Wei Shu still frowned: "But,"

"But what?! Just eat, talk so much......" As she spoke, Mrs. Tai stretched out her chopsticks and grabbed a locust and ate it calmly: "Hmm...... It is worthy of the craftsmanship of Si Hai, this taste is much better than what we ate at the beginning. However, although the taste of cumin is good, it somewhat masks the original taste, and I think it is better to eat it with salt and pepper. "After eating one, I immediately grabbed another one.

Wei Shu pursed his lips tightly, looking like he was afraid of being forced: "No, I will never eat it!" ”

And Wei Ci on the side had already started to eat after she started to move the chopsticks, although she didn't say anything, but the frequency was much faster.

Si Chai listened to Mrs. Tai's praise, and said with some embarrassment: "Actually, at the beginning, these were all made of amber, and the slaves and maids were still a little ...... Hmm..."The tone of shame gradually lowered, and then he said expectantly, "However, I later made some other flavors, which have salt and pepper in them, do you want to try them?" ”

Mrs. Tai waved her hand: "Why don't you hurry up and serve it?!" ”

"No!" Sicha happily walked out.

Mingzhu saw that her grandmother was eating happily, gritted her teeth and stretched out her chopsticks to clip one, closed her eyes and ate it into her mouth. "Huh? It tastes really good (*๓ ́╰╯'๓)" ♡ It's not as delicious as the legend, but it's a good appetizer. "Uh-huh......" a tone that goes from low to high: "The texture is crispy and the meat is fluffy." Amber's heat is quite well grasped, and it is really a famous teacher and a high apprentice! ”

Zhang Wuxi trembled and raised his chopsticks to hold the locusts all the time, on the one hand, the scent of cumin that drilled into his nose, and on the other hand, the insects he saw in his eyes that might have been alive a moment ago. She was a little delirious. In the end, I decided to learn from Mingzhu, close my eyes and eat it in one bite, and endure the nausea and enjoy the deliciousness. Sure enough, after crossing that threshold, Zhang Wuxi put down his chopsticks more frequently.

Li Yuanzheng and Imperial Physician Sun glanced at each other, yes, the bald locusts have been eaten, are you still afraid of this?! After receiving encouragement/encouragement from each other, the two stretched out their chopsticks together. Is this the right way to eat locusts?! Who is the one who fried the locusts like a decoction?! I promise not to kill you!

Wei Shu bit the tip of his chopsticks pitifully, "Why is there no other dish on the table except locusts?" I saw a few people eating fragrantly, and from time to time I cast a contemptuous look. Finally followed in the footsteps of Zhang Wuxi, let's chirp, chirp, well, it's so fragrant.

After a while, Sicha served a few plates of new flavors of locusts, roasted locusts with cumin, slightly spicy, salt-and-pepper, and millet spicy and dry locusts...... Each has its own flavor, and everyone is full of praise.

Until the end, Sicha served a plate of "Drunken Locusts" and introduced: "I later felt that locusts should be similar to the practice of river shrimp, so I developed this "Drunken Locust" based on "Drunken Shrimp". Although the marinating time is not too long, it feels like it has a different flavor. You can try it. ”

However, looking at this soft and brightly colored "drunken grasshopper", everyone invariably put down their chopsticks and said: "Ah, it looks delicious, but unfortunately I am too full to eat, and my stomach is a little supportive." The craftsmanship of the tea is good. ”

Li Yuanzheng: "Yes, yes, I ate too much." I ate two bowls of rice on that plate of millet with spicy and dried locusts. ”

Zhang Wuxi: "Mmmmmmmm, I love the aroma of cumin, whether it's grilled or fried, I love to eat it." ”

Mrs. Tai: "It's still the most authentic fried taste." ”

......

Sicha's head was full of black lines, "Do I look so stupid?!" I took another look at the plate of "Drunken Locusts" that I had carefully cooked, and it looked a little soft and collapsed, huh...... It's really not good-looking......

Until dinner, I watched Si Cha take away the plate of "drunken locusts". Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Mingzhu said without raising his head: "Li Yuanzheng, or I will recover tomorrow." ”

"No."

He turned back to Zhang Wuxi and said: "But the locusts can still be collected, and it is said that although the princess has recovered, because of the high effectiveness of the locusts, the palace will continue to buy them." ”

Zhang Wuxi nodded and said, "Okay." ”

In the kitchen, Amber Micha brought back a whole plate of "Drunken Locusts". said, "See? I knew it was so. Since you've tasted it, then you can eat it all, and Your Highness won't blame it. ”

Si Cha's feet were weak, and a whole plate of locusts fell to the ground......

Emperor Nanzhao of Cining Palace was having dinner with the Queen Mother, and when he saw the plate of locusts served by jade and tourmaline, he couldn't help but look at each other.

Yes, don't ask, it must have been sent by Mingzhu's child.
