"Your Majesty, in fact, there have been cases of eating locusts before, when hungry people were everywhere, and in desperation, they had to eat locusts as food."

Li Hui suddenly remembered one thing at this time, Yuan Shu was in Shouchun, the people were hungry and poor, and they used mulberry roots and locusts as dry food.

Many people eat locusts as food, and as for why some of them still survived, it is naturally because the toxins secreted by locusts do not reach the amount that kills people who eat them.

When Li Er heard this, he stopped talking, and stared at Li Hui intently, as if to say, boy, you hurry up.

Li Hui closed his eyes and frowned, as if he was thinking, but he had actually opened the system.

"System, how can locusts eat?"

"Host, domesticated locusts can be eaten."

Isn't that nonsense," I asked about the locusts in the midst of the plague. ”

The system was also silent, and it took a long time before giving a data.

"The host, the locust crowd, sixty percent of the locusts will turn black and secrete a large amount of phenyl cylins, which will then be transformed into highly poisonous."

"According to reliable data, the most effective way is to catch live locusts, tear off the wings of their heads and legs, soak them in salt water, force them to spit out the poison in their bodies, and then clean, dry, and seal the altar, so that the threat of poison can be reduced by 90%, and it can be eaten as a dish, and it is not a staple food as much as possible. It can be fried, boiled or ground into powder. ”

Li Hui opened his eyes suddenly.

When Li Er saw Li Hui open his eyes, his eyes immediately lit up.

"What? Got a way? ”

Li Hui didn't answer directly, but said lightly: "Your Majesty, when I was a child, my family also experienced one or two locust plagues here. At that time, my parents did this, they took their pockets and grabbed them, and they didn't want to die, but they only lived, no matter what kind of locusts they were, they were thrown into salt water and soaked, and after two or three days, the locusts spit out the dirt in their stomachs, and they could be washed and sealed. ”

"At that time, my family used to fry it."

"Actually, Your Majesty, you can also grind it into powder."

Li Hui was already smiling at this time, if the locust swarm did not have that poison, it must be a delicious dish.

After all, locusts are full of protein and a dozen amino acids that the human body needs most, which is a good thing.

"Isn't Your Majesty a headache, in fact, it would be good to eat more locusts."

After Li Hui finished speaking, Li Er sat on the chair, wanting to be excited, but he couldn't get excited, "Li Hui, you didn't lie to me?" ”

"I know that the ancients hunted locusts for food while hungry, but they have never been recorded in the annals of history."

Li Hui smiled and lit a cigarette for Li Er, "Your Majesty, when the time comes, let's eat together, I will cook it myself, charcoal roast locusts!" ”

The system gives a method that can be used as a reference, Li Hui naturally will not let go, when he was in college before the crossing, Li Hui ate roasted locusts when he went to Yunnan, but the locusts there are all domesticated, where there are swarms, there is no threat of natural enemies.

Without the threat of natural predators, there is no such thing as secreting toxins.

Charcoal-grilled locusts are delicious, and people like Li Hui, who have never seen the locust plague with their own eyes, naturally yearn for it.

It's just that when he finished speaking, Li Er's face changed drastically, "Li Hui, I really don't want to eat that thing." ”

"Haha, Your Majesty, it's delicious!"

Li Chengqian and Li Tai on the side had already begun to drool, and when they heard the words charcoal-grilled locusts, the two of them couldn't sit still.

Li Ke is drinking soup at this time, how can he pay attention to what to eat in the future.

According to the information given by the system, the contents of the locust's body can be removed with salt water, but when the locusts are eaten, they must volatilize the toxin with the help of high temperature.

Li Hui wrote down these methods, Li Er frowned, and was about to leave with Li Hui's handwritten booklet.

At this time, Li Chengqian suddenly thought of something, and ran to Li Er for a while, and in an instant, Li Er's already ugly face couldn't look directly for a while.

That anger can almost breathe fire.

"Let him fuck off!"

After Li Chengqian got this reply, he nodded vigorously.

Li was already mourning for that Gao Liang at this time, and when he was a household secretary, there was no one who could be like this.

Li Chengqian whispered to Li Hui: "Teacher, I told my father about that bright matter. ”

"And then?"

Li Chengqian was puzzled, "Teacher, do you still need the future?" Anyway, if I ascend the throne one day, Gao Liang will definitely not be an official. ”

"Then what do you think Your Majesty will do?"

Li Chengqian is not Li Er, although he now has the appearance of an emperor, but it is just a prototype.

Li Hui touched Li Chengqian's head, "Don't worry, let all this fly in the wind." ”

In the spring of the second year of Zhenguan, Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty issued a decree that in order to deal with the locust plague this year, everyone in the Tang Dynasty would catch locusts together.

In the decree, it was pointed out in detail that the capture of locusts had been pickled and eaten, which was approved by Sun Simiao.

As soon as the decree came out, everyone was shocked, and no one could have imagined that His Majesty would use this method to solve the problem of locust plague.

The Chinese nation has not lacked foodies since ancient times, but can locusts be eaten?

Let's catch it first!

After the ordinary people learned about His Majesty's decree, they fell into deep thought one by one.

Looking at the locust temple and altar at the entrance of the village, these are the existences they want to worship on weekdays, the farmers hesitated and hesitated.

In Lantian County, the people were even more bitter, and Li Hui's tenants even reported these things to Qi Ping in private.

When Qi Ping appeared in front of Li Hui, Li Hui probably guessed what the repercussions of this decree would bring.

"Mr. Qi Ping, pass on a letter and give it to Ma Zhou."

"Write locusts for a pound, I want it."

Locusts can be used in medicine, East Asian locusts are full of medicinal value, locusts are ground into powder, can treat a variety of diseases of the Tang people, such as night blindness or something.

To treat stroke, headache is a sharp weapon.

And the difficulty of catching locusts is not great, even if it is a child, you can catch dozens of locusts with a net pocket when it is windy, let alone adults.

Qi Ping pondered for a moment, but still didn't say anything after all.

He had a lot of questions in his mind, but he didn't know where to start.

Li Hui saw Qi Ping's hesitation, so he waved his hand and said, "I know what Mr. Qi Ping is worried about. ”

"The passage of locusts is only a matter of a few hours, and it will not stay in one place for more than a stick of incense, after all, there is not much in a piece of land for their group to eat."

"For the existence of these people competing for food, as long as there is a trace of use value, we can't let it go."

"Hechen's pharmacy will buy a lot of locusts and grind them into powder."

The largest locust plague in history, hundreds of billions of locusts transit, flying and breeding at the same time, I drool when I think about it!
