Chapter 214: Delicious Locusts
I only saw Ying Zheng, and he took the lead in picking up a locust from the tray with his hand, and then carefully distinguished, because the locust was coated with a layer of batter when it was fried.
So at this moment, Ying Zheng couldn't see what was in it, he only felt that this thing was golden and yellow, and it exuded an attractive fragrance, which looked delicious.
I saw Ying Zheng, picked up a locust, and then threw it at the intersection and stirred it a few times, and immediately said with emotion.
"This thing tastes really good, Li Si, you can try it too!"
Ying Zheng said to the ministers on the side, Li Si and the others saw Ying Zheng and did it, they can also do it.
I only saw Li Si and them.
Reach into the tray and pick up a locust and throw it into your mouth.
I tasted it carefully, not to mention the taste of this locust, it tasted really good after entering it.
Especially after deep-frying, and adding some chili noodles in the mouth, it is crispy and slightly spicy.
The taste is abnormal.
It tastes so good.
So much so that Ying Zheng couldn't help but eat more than a dozen locusts.
Just as a few people were eating the fragrance, Ying Zheng suddenly became curious, and he asked.
"What's this thing fried? How come I've never eaten this stuff before? Is it fried small fish? ”
"No, no, no, you've misunderstood, Father, this thing isn't a small fry!"
Ying Changsheng shook his head and explained to Ying Zheng, he pointed to the locusts in the tray in front of him, and then explained to the people present.
"It's locusts fried in here!"
Suddenly, when the voice of Ying Changsheng fell.
For a while, there was a win in the hall, as well as Prime Minister Li Si and other adults on the side.
His face turned green in an instant.
Well, as high-ranking officials of the Great Qin Empire, they never dreamed that they would actually eat locusts, and this kind of insect even wanted to retch for a while.
He exclaimed.
"Are you kid crazy? How dare you give me locusts to eat? ”
Ying Zheng pointed to Ying Changsheng in front of him, stretched out his hand, and scolded loudly.
But Ying Changsheng looked at Ying Zheng's angry gaze.
"What's wrong with this? This locust is just a kind of food, no different from chicken, duck and fish, eat it, and the son has not proposed it, this locust can be used to eat, can be used to deal with the locust plague, father, as the emperor of Daqin, be an example, eat locusts, it is also right! ”
Ying Changsheng's voice fell.
Ying Zheng on the side was instantly speechless.
Yes, he is the emperor of the Great Qin Empire.
At this moment, the Great Qin Empire is suffering from a locust plague, and in the face of the locusts flying in the sky, Ying Changsheng put forward several suggestions, and indeed eats the locusts.
It's just that.
Win Zheng never thought that the people had not had time to eat the locusts.
I was the first to taste the locusts.
At the same time, Prime Minister Li Si and others.
is also gloomy and abnormal.
Looking at the expressions of several people, Ying Changsheng smiled.
"Why don't you feel well right now? Isn't this locust what you just ate quite fragrant? ”
"This thing tastes really good!"
"But I've been cooked by my son!"
Ying Changsheng said with a smile.
Then he stretched out his hand and picked up a locust and filled it into his mouth.
Then when you chew it, it instantly crunches and the aroma is wanton between your mouth.
I only heard Ying Changsheng say with emotion.
"What a delicious thing, if it weren't for you to taste it, it would all have entered my stomach, and it wouldn't be enough for me to eat alone!"
"But this locust ......"
Ying Zheng frowned slightly.
Ying Changsheng rolled his eyes at him, and then said.
"Why can't this locust be eaten? It's nothing more than a psychological burden, this thing tastes so good, what's not to eat? And the nutritional value of this thing is even higher, the protein is several times that of beef! ”
Ying Changsheng's voice fell on the prime minister on the side, Li Si, and Ying Zheng, with a confused face.
None of them know.
Protein is something.
I only heard Ying Zheng ask puzzled.
"What is this protein?"
"The so-called protein is also simple to say, it is nothing more than the energy in food, that is, fat!"
"It's better to eat a pound of locusts than a pound of beef!"
"There's some truth to what you kid said!"
Ying Zheng nodded slightly.
Then he reached out and picked up a locust again, then stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.
He said with emotion.
"Although this locust is a little difficult to accept in my heart, it actually tastes really good, the taste is similar to beef, ordinary people can't eat meat a few times a year, and it is perfect for locusts to eat!"
"Prime Minister, you should eat more!"
Speaking of Win Zheng, he pointed to the locusts in the tray and said to Prime Minister Li Si.
The latter nodded, picked up the locust again, and ate it.
He said to Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty, since this locust tastes good, it is bound to be promoted, and the minister feels that although he felt a little uncomfortable at first when he ate it, as long as he got used to it, it was completely acceptable!"
"yes!"
Ying Zheng nodded.
And Ying Changsheng seemed to have thought of something, and he opened his mouth to Ying Zheng and Prime Minister Li Si on the side.
"Anyway, you think this locust tastes good, don't you?"
"It's delicious!"
Ying Zheng and the ministers on the side opened their mouths without thinking, although they felt that the locust thing was a little difficult to accept in their mouths.
Some psychological feeling of vomiting.
But don't really say it.
They really like the delicacy of fried locusts.
Hearing this, Ying Changsheng said to them.
"Although the locusts are good, the taste of the locusts is actually not very good, if ordinary people eat locusts, I am afraid that it will be difficult to swallow, and the taste will not be much better!"
"Oh, what does that mean?"
Ying Zheng looked at his son Ying Changsheng in front of him with some puzzlement.
The latter explained helplessly.
"Father, do you know how much oil is used in this plate of locusts, how many spices are used, and chili peppers are added to it, where is there so much spice in this ordinary people's house?"
"Ordinary people eat on weekdays, but I'm afraid that only salt is used to accompany food!"
"How can you be willing to use so much oil to fry locusts? The locusts they eat are probably boiled or roasted, so the taste is really not good! ”
"Alas!"
Hear here.
A gloomy expression appeared on Ying Zheng's face.
He said with emotion.
"Most of the people in this world are suffering!"
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng seems to have thought of something again.
He suddenly turned his head and said to Ying Changsheng on the side.
"But then again, I just thought about it again, something can be done in the court tomorrow, and let the ministers understand the suffering of the people!"
"What does Father think?"
Ying Changsheng looked puzzled at the moment, and looked at Ying Zheng.
