Chapter 132 Fried Cicada Monkey

"Father, these locusts are not useless at all, and my son will not let Father run short of the treasury."

"Oh, is Chengan's locust still worth something?"

Li Shimin's eyes widened curiously.

"Father, although the locusts will have some toxins on their bodies once they become a disaster, the pig god has already told my son the way to detoxify them. They are all the locusts that we harvested enough. They can be used as medicine or made into food. According to the pig god, the taste is extremely beautiful."

When Li Chengan's words fell to the ground, everyone in Xiande Hall heaved a sigh of relief.

Even Li Shimin's expression improved a lot.

I didn't expect this locust to have such a magical effect.

Not only can it be used as medicine, but it can also be made into delicious food.

"Okay, pass on my decree and immediately announce to the world that the people are strictly prohibited from sowing crops privately, and tell the people that the locust plague is coming. Use money to buy locusts, and let the people prepare tools to catch locusts."

Li Shimin issued the imperial edict on the spot.

"Father, wait a minute, the pig god also told his ministers one thing, which can temporarily solve the problem of the people's appetite."

After hearing Li Chengan's words, Li Shimin was happy.

"Cheng An, could it be that the Pig God sent some delicious food?"

He is still thinking about the apples and flat peaches.

"Father, the delicacy is now in the soil. This year, due to the severe drought, it will come out later than usual."

When Li Chengan's words fell, Li Shimin guessed what it was.

At this time in previous years, there are already bursts of cicadas singing.

The arrival of cicadas has not been heard this year.

"Cheng An, is that the young cicada that Pig God is talking about?"

"Father, it is the young cicada, a species commonly known as the cicada monkey. This thing is always delicious. Whether it is steamed or boiled, whether it is roasted or roasted, it is very delicious. of."

Li Chengan almost said to fry and fry, but fortunately he stopped in time.

Li Shimin regained his energy when he heard it, since the pig god said that this species is delicious and delicious, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Therefore, another item was added immediately, so that the common people prepared to catch young cicadas to temporarily satisfy their hunger.

And tell the people to eat with confidence, this is a godsend.

After coming down to court, Li Chengan immediately placed ice cubes in the Lizheng Hall and Ganlu Hall.

Of course, he didn't forget the emperor's grandfather Li Yuan. Li Yuan was so happy that he danced together with his eyebrows and beard.

An elderly person like him is the most afraid of heat.

Now that the ice cubes are placed in the palace, I immediately feel refreshed.

Before leaving, Cheng An quietly gave Li Yuan an old popsicle, this guy, Li Yuan couldn't even close his mouth when he was so happy.

His Majesty's decree is issued and the proclamation is issued.

Although the common people are doubtful, but think about this year's drought, it is His Majesty who prepared in advance to help the common people get through it safely. Otherwise, just the drought will lead to the situation of no production and harvest.

Therefore, despite the heartache of the vacant land, the people still obeyed His Majesty's will. After everyone harvested, they never sowed any seeds in the field.

And they are still looking forward to the arrival of the locusts. After all, the notice said that the court would buy them with money.

There is another piece of news, that is, cicada monkeys can satisfy their hunger.

This made the people look forward to it.

Knowing that the monkey is a species that emerges from the ground in dense numbers every year.

The people have always regarded them as bugs, and no one has ever tried to eat them.

The cicada monkeys in the Taiji Palace emerge earlier than the cicada monkeys in the common villages of Chang'an City.

Because Tai Chi Palace has sufficient water resources.

This credit naturally also belongs to Li Chengan, in order for the old sow and the twelve piglets to sit comfortably on the water and grass.

Li Chengan drilled more than a dozen wells around the Taiji Palace. There are more wells, and naturally the flowers and plants will grow luxuriantly.

When Taiji Palace heard the first cicada chirping.

When the sun was setting, Li Chengan took Chang Le with a small shovel and a small jar, and began to stroll around the Tai Chi Palace.

But any place under a big tree must be the place they focus on looking for.

Hard work pays off, a cicada monkey who just dug out a small eye from the ground did not escape Li Chengan's piercing eyes in the end.

"Changle, hurry up and take a look, there is a cicada monkey here."

Good guy, upon hearing this, Chang Le immediately squatted down with Li Chengan.

The two little heads collided tightly.

Chengan pierced Zhihou's eyes when he knew that the monkey had already broken the ground.

After poking my fingers in, I found that I couldn't touch the cicada monkey.

Fortunately, with a small shovel.

After a few shovels down, Cicada Monkey showed its original shape.

Chang Le giggled and put the cicada monkey into the small jar.

Being happy is like picking up a golden pimple.

With the first, there is the second.

When it got dark, Cheng An and Chang Le continued to look for the cicada monkey with small lanterns in their hands.

This guy, after dark, knew that the monkey was going out desperately.

Soon the small jar in Changle's hand was full of cicada monkeys.

The two returned to Prince Pingan's Mansion, and Chengan pickled the cicada monkeys with salt water.

So he took Changle and continued to set off.

On the way, he didn't forget to reward Changle with an old popsicle, and he happily bought one himself.

Beautiful Changle, jumping and jumping when walking.

In less than half an hour, the two made two round trips to Ping'an Palace.

Li Chengan had to sigh that there are so many cicada monkeys in this era.

A few of them can be trampled to death if you walk carelessly.

Thinking about how the cicadas would hardly be heard even in the countryside in future generations, Li Chengan was really moved with emotion.

Until a wooden basin full of salt water is filled with cicada monkeys.

The two stopped their plan to go out again to look for Cicada Monkey.

Changle was in high spirits right now, and couldn't help but speak regretfully.

"Brother Cheng'an, why don't we go? Changle saw that there are still many cicada monkeys."

"Changle, give those cicada monkeys a way to survive. When they transform into cicadas, they will continue to reproduce offspring."

"In this way, we can still catch so many cicada monkeys at this time every year."

Changle heard the words, nodded half understanding.

Early on the next morning, Chang Le came to Prince Ping'an's Mansion with great energy.

Because Brother Cheng An told her last night that they went to Lizheng Hall for breakfast early this morning.

Of course, what Changle misses the most is the smell of cicada monkeys.

Today Cheng An got up very early, when Chang Le came to the palace, Cheng An had already returned from the imperial kitchen.

"Changle, let me try one for you first."

The little girl happily took a fried cicada monkey, and her eyes narrowed instantly.
