Chapter Forty-Six: Locusts Should Be Fried Before Eating

People always have to pay for their mistakes, even the emperor can't avoid it.

Last year, the locust plague in Lingzhou caused heavy losses to the local area, and the government continued to help, so that the tragic situation in the world at the end of the Sui Dynasty barely reappeared.

There were only two snowfalls in the winter, the temperature was not low enough, the locust eggs hidden in the soil did not freeze to death, and the whole court and the central government also foresaw the arrival of this year's locust plague, but whether it was His Majesty Li Er or a group of capable ministers and famous generals, they were all full of confidence, thinking that they had made preparations in advance, stockpiled some food, and had the help of gods such as potatoes, so they decided that this year's locust plague was not enough.

The locusts that overwhelmed twenty-seven states taught a good lesson to all self-righteous people!

Everyone was crazy, but Liang Baoyu was crazy.

This product has studied more than 10 kinds of fried locust flavors, among which pepper and salt are the most popular, locusts need to be specially cultivated in later generations to meet the huge needs of the catering and medical industries, Datang This pure natural wild is a high-end product!

From the initial shock and doubt, to the fear of trying, and finally to the initiative to explore new dishes, one by one eating locusts and eating a mouthful of oil!

The superintendent's courage and whimsy became more and more admired, and there were faint signs of a shift to worship.

To put it mildly, it was only a few years since the end of the chaotic era at the end of the Sui Dynasty? How many places in the entire Tang Dynasty still have people who can't eat enough?

What are they all pretending for?

Facing locusts is nothing more than a matter of mentality, and when the first bite is eaten, mentality is no longer a problem...... It's better than eating Guanyin soil and gnawing on the bark, right?

It's really not good, you can also go and visit Zhu Yi's dog barracks room.

Besides, locusts, whether they are roasted directly on the tiles or fried in oil, have a good taste, the chicken is crunchy, and the protein content is many times that of beef!

It's a pity that His Majesty Li Er failed to comprehend the true meaning of food, and in the face of the overwhelming locust plague, the emperor confessed, issued an edict against himself, and prayed to heaven to punish only one of himself and spare his people.

On the high platform, His Majesty Li Er was dressed in coarse linen clothes, and he was hoarsely reading the sacrificial table to the sky, and the text was crepe so that people like Liang Baoyu who did not learn and did not know how to understand it could not be understood.

It probably means that all parties are guilty, the sin is bowing, God, if you are not satisfied, just go down to the thunder and kill me, why bother the people of the world?

The crown prince Li Chengqian held a vermilion tray with a few cleaned locusts in it...... Alive, His Majesty Li Er will swallow it in one gulp.

Liang Baoyu, who was hiding in the crowd, was a little frightened, he hadn't had time to promote the delicacy of fried locusts, if the emperor finished eating live locusts, he found that this thing could be wrapped in egg batter and fried...... You won't be angry, will you?

Liang Baoyu, who has long lost his nature in the life of playing the role of a gentleman, knows too well the mentality of the so-called master, and if he is not happy, he has to kick Laifu to adjust his mentality, let alone Li Er?

Crunch crunch...... Well? The snacks I brought were stolen and eaten!

The emperor's sacrifice to the sky is a big scene, tens of thousands of people gathered together to watch, and Liang Baoyu, the Yongxing Bo, was also pulled to fill the number.

Liang Baoyu, who knew too well how boring the meeting was, prepared a lot of fried locusts in advance and brought them in, but was targeted by thieves.

"Take some more, the queen mother brought here before dawn, and she will die of hunger."

Li Taitian, whose face was full of oil flowers, was shameless, and when he saw Liang Baoyu stubbornly protecting the bag containing snacks, he licked his fingers unwillingly, "Yesterday, my mother said that locusts can be fried and eaten, but no one believed me, and I was ridiculed by a group of people, saying that I was a wild man." ”

"I'm all savages up and down in agriculture, how can I drop?"

Liang Baoyu's eyes were alert, and he paid attention to the situation around him at any time, the emperor was communicating with God on the high platform, but he was eating snacks below, and he was found to be scared again, "Special meow, Li Ke was recruited by you?" That kid touched it, and the fried locusts were so pointed, not enough points! ”

"Eight, eight, give me something to eat, I saw my brother eat."

Du Temeow is a poor child, you can't not give the baby food because the father wants to sacrifice to the sky, right?

Liang Baoyu reluctantly opened the bag, and let Li Ke and Li Tai put their claws into the disaster, who let us be righteous first.

The position where Liang Baoyu stood was specially arranged by Wei Taizhong, very close to the huge team of concubines, princes and princesses, and there were some palace maids and maids in the middle.

There are constantly people secretly swallowing saliva, but the three gentlemen don't care.

The last handful of fried locusts was caught in Li Ke's hands, bent over like a thief, and drilled back into his team.

No, this kid is full and ready to snitch?!

Liang Baoyu's eyes followed Li Ke's figure until he stopped at a little girl with a delicate face,, it's Gao Yang!

I saw Li Ke talking to Gao Yang while pointing and drawing in the direction where Liang Baoyu was, and finally showed the locust in his hand.

Gao Yang's small and delicate Joan nose wrinkled, and the two willow eyebrows were squeezed into two lumps, and finally he really pinched a locust wrapped in egg batter and fried that couldn't see its original shape and put it in his mouth!

As righteous as going to the soup and fire, Gao Yang chewed a few times with his eyes closed and swallowed hard...... And then there's the unstoppable retching.

stubbornly straightened her slender neck, and the little girl with red eyes stared at Liang Baoyu in the crowd...... Hey, what the hell are you going to make a fuss? Eating chicken and shrimp steak can deduce the spirit of living and dying together, for a person like me, is it worth it?

Nothing escaped the phoenix eyes of Empress Changsun, and Aunt Xu beside her was sent over, and after asking Li Ke and Gao Yang, she walked straight towards Liang Baoyu's location.

The female officer ...... Hiss, humility, very majestic!

The goose-egg-shaped cheeks are very in line with Liang Baoyu's traditional aesthetics, and his life in the palace all the year round has cultivated a unique temperament and demeanor, and the most important thing is that there is no aggressive aura...... This is what a woman should look like, a little girl with fish like Gao Yang is a complete failure!

"Uncle Yongxing, the queen sent a slave maid to ask, can the locusts really be eaten?"

Liang Baoyu's unscrupulous eyes made Aunt Xu's cheeks flush, she deserved to be the first of the three evils in Chang'an, this kind of lawlessness is really lawless!

"Why can't you eat it? It's fragrant! Sister, listen to me, cooking locusts is also particular...... Balabala......"

Aunt Xu took a deep breath, towered even higher, and after calming down, she hurriedly reported to Empress Eldest Sun, and then left the crowd again.

After a short time, the palace maids with various food boxes appeared in the concubine procession and began to distribute steaming fried locusts to everyone......

"If the heavens want to punish, punish me alone, and don't condemn my people! Let this locust eat my heart and liver to atone for my sins! ”

On the high platform, His Majesty Li Er howled in pain, grabbed the live locusts in the tray held by Li Chengqian, and stuffed them directly into his mouth......
