Chapter 728: Four Birds with One Stone
"Your Majesty, it's true!"
The old goods persuaded in unison, and then looked at Ying Feiyu, and after a bunch of stomachs, they fished two more strings in the food box.
handed Jingfu a bunch of them, and the two of them ate them with relish!
Looking at that posture, it seems to be really good!
Coupled with the sincere eyes of several old goods, Ying Zheng also slowly put down his hands and breathed carefully!
"Huh? Is this smell really coming from the locusts? ”
"Your Majesty, these locusts are delicious!"
Without waiting for Ying Feiyu to speak, Jing Fu said while chewing with relish.
"Gollum ......"
After smelling the tempting fragrance, the old goods couldn't help but roll their Adam's apple and subconsciously licked the corners of their mouths.
"That...... His Royal Highness the Prince, there is a sentence that I don't know if to say ......? ”
"Inappropriate!"
Zhang Hanba pursed his mouth and opened his mouth implicitly, wanting to ask for a string of locusts to taste.
But before he could finish speaking, he was scolded back by Ying Feiyu!
"Hey, hey! Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't you still have three strings! I'm going to make it all in one place! ”
Even so, Zhang Han still didn't give up and continued to ask for it cheekily.
There were a total of seven skewers on the plates sent by the Imperial Dining Room, and four were worn on each skewer!
Ying Feiyu and Jing Fu saw that the four strings were about to go down, and there were only three strings left on the plate, if they didn't hurry, I am afraid that even these three strings would be destroyed by His Royal Highness the Prince!
"Humph! Didn't you just say you can't eat this thing? ”
Ying Feiyu took another one down, crunching and chewing, looking very enjoyable.
"Ahem......! Since you kid has proposed that the army solve the locust plague by eating locusts, then I will try it for the army first to see if this thing can be eaten! ”
Ying Zheng coughed lightly twice and made a high-sounding excuse.
"Hey, hey! Okay, since everyone wants to try it, then the prince will give you a chance, so you don't have to say that the prince eats alone! ”
Even Ying Zheng spoke, and Ying Feiyu stopped holding the shelf.
grabbed the remaining three strings on the plate and handed them to Ying Zheng.
The remaining two bunches are divided among the other veterans!
The old guys each took one down, threw it into their mouths, and nodded again and again, "Hmm! This thing not only smells good, but it also tastes good! ”
"Hmmm! That's good! ”
Even Yingzheng couldn't help but praise it.
The smell of this thing is completely different from what they imagined!
"Lao Zhang, you give me another one!"
The old goods each had one, and when they threw it in their mouths, it was gone, so Kang Anping beckoned Zhang Han and wanted another one.
"No, this locust is cheeky for me to come, why should I give it to you?"
Zhang Han didn't think about it and immediately refused.
Two strings of locusts, eight in total.
One for each of the six Shangshu, and there are two left!
One is in the hands of Zhang Han, and the other is in the hands of Wang Ben!
Seeing this, Wang Ben immediately opened his mouth and stuffed the one in his hand into his mouth, so that none of them should worry about it!
"Phew......"
Although Zhang Han didn't do this, he squirted a lot of saliva on it, "Do you still want it?" Take it? ”
"Lao Zhang, you are a real dog!"
Kang Anping made a bitter face and sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"How? Now everyone has tasted it, right? Whether this locust can be eaten or not, the scene is clear! ”
A plate of locusts was eaten, looking at the expressions of the old goods, Ying Feiyu said with a smile.
"Hmmm! It's definitely a good way to do it! What about our 300,000 troops, let's go out to capture together, which meal must not consume a million catties? In a few days, the locust plague will be wiped out! ”
"Yes, yes, according to what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just said, this locust has a high nutritional value, not only to relieve the hunger of the soldiers, but also to replenish the body, the best!"
"If you can't finish eating, you can also grind it into locust powder, and take it to Xianyang to use medicine, and you can exchange it for some money to supplement your family!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's method is really amazing, killing four birds with one stone, saving a lot of expenses for the imperial court, haha......!"
After tasting the fried locusts, the attitude of the old goods took a 360-degree turn, and Le's mouth couldn't close.
Like the South-to-North Water Diversion, it seems like a simple method, but they just can't think of it!
Or rather, I don't dare to think about it!
No one has tried it, so how did you know it tasted so good?
Just now, each person was assigned one, and as soon as the gluttonous worms were drawn out, they were gone.
After returning home, I immediately asked my subordinates to catch locusts and blow up a big pot, so that everyone in the family could enjoy it!
"Good! It's so decided, according to the meaning of His Royal Highness the Prince, send a telegram to the Peacock Dynasty, haha! ”
There is such a simple way to solve the locust plague, Ying Zheng slapped his thigh happily.
……
On the Mauryan side, the telegram has been sent out for a long time, but there is still no response, and everyone is staring at the two small boxes.
"Old Cao, this thing can't be broken, right?"
Fan Hao tilted his head to ask, and even stretched out his big hand, wanting to go up and slap it twice.
Fortunately, Cao Shen's eyes were sharp, and he immediately stopped, "Stop!" What are you going to do, kid? This thing is very expensive, what should I do if it is broken? ”
"Yes! This is the high-tech researched by His Royal Highness the Prince, we don't understand, so don't move blindly! ”
Han Xin also spoke out to block it.
"But it's been a long time since our news was sent, why hasn't there been any movement at all......?"
Fan Xu scratched his heart and liver anxiously, "Could it be that even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't solve it?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't help it, he will also respond to us! Maybe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not in the palace at this time! ”
Han Xin said.
"Hmmm! That's right, too! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has too many things to do every day, and even if the soldiers are looking for it, they will have to find it for a while! ”
Fan Xu nodded suddenly.
"Wait!"
"Hmm!"
The crowd answered, gathered around the telegraph machine, and waited patiently.
"Didi ......"
After a while, the telegraph made a sound, and everyone's eyes lit up.
"Here, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has returned with a message!"
The telegraph operator hastened to record.
"Huh? Why did it ring so much this time and then it disappeared? ”
Fan scratched his head, not knowing why.
"Hmmm! It's a little weird! ”
Even Cao Shen felt that something was wrong.
Usually, whether it is transmitting messages or receiving, it has never been so short!
"Could it be true that Lao Fan, the crow's mouth, said that this telegraph machine broke down as soon as it arrived?"
Peng Yue glanced at Fan Xu with a slight complaint.
"Pull it down! Good things can't find me, but this kind of thing will be posted on me! ”
"It's not me sticking it on you, it's a fact!"
"What bullshit facts, I see ...... you"
"That's it! Don't make any noise, see what the telegraph operator says! ”
Cao Shen interrupted the argument between the two and set his eyes on the telegraph operator.
The telegraph operator was also confused, and hesitantly handed the recorded words to everyone!
"Eat?"
After seeing the big words on it, everyone was stunned.
