It is definitely not good to eat raw, it is easy to get sick!

It tastes bad when steamed and boiled, and it will cause bad things. It can be eaten after being boiled, but some people with special constitutions will die from extremes if they eat it!

But these do not prove that locusts cannot be eaten!

Human beings are at the top of the food chain, as long as you find the right way, there is nothing you can't eat!

Locusts need to be deep-fried before they can be eaten safely! "

Li Er didn't believe it at first, but Bai Fan's words were convincing and sounded reasonable. Finally, he grabbed Bai Fan's arm and asked, "Really?"

"really!"

"Come here, hurry up and catch a pound of locusts and send them to the imperial dining room!

Boy, let's go and accompany me to the imperial dining room!I heard that you are good at cooking, can you show me your skills today? "Li Er took Bai Fan's hand and walked towards the imperial dining room with a smile. After many days, the problem was finally solved, and he couldn't help being unhappy!

"That's it, the minister is making a fool of himself!"

Not long after, the imperial guards caught a small bunch of locusts and sent them to the imperial dining room!

Bai Fan swiftly removed the wings and thighs of the locusts, and threw them one by one into the prepared oil pan!

Soon, a plate of fried locusts was brought to Li Er!

Looking at the extraordinary dish, Li Erxin was embarrassed, after all, he had never eaten it, so he didn't know if it could be eaten!

Bai Fan picked one up and put it in his mouth, chewing it with a crunchy sound, squinting his eyes, and showing a satisfied look, this is the taste. In his previous life, this food was a good food with high protein, and it was very expensive to eat in restaurants. of!

Li Er secretly nodded in his heart, this kid is really sensible, as an emperor, he can't eat casually, and the relationship between the two of them is not good for him to directly ask Bai Fan to try it!

But Bai Fan took the initiative to eat it, I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but he took care of Li Er's face, and even tried the poison for him. For Bai Fan's actions, Li Er has already accepted it in his heart!

Looking at Bai Fan's intoxicated appearance, looking down at the gradually decreasing number of fried locusts, Li Er also moved his index finger, without hesitation, he also picked up a locust and put it in his mouth!

The servant Gao's heart was in his throat, he was afraid that something would happen to His Majesty because of eating locusts!

Seeing that his forehead was sweating from fear, Bai Fan smiled and said, "Old Gao, come here, don't just look at it, try my handicrafts, this is a good thing for your body, it's okay, don't be afraid!"

Lao Gao saw that His Majesty had already eaten it. As a slave, he naturally followed His Majesty through life and death, so he boldly stepped forward and squeezed one into his mouth. The crispy and fragrant taste immediately attracted his taste buds, and he finished chewing quickly. Lao Gao saluted Bai Fan and said with a smile, "Thank you, Lord Hou, for taking care of this old slave!"

Li Er glanced at his personal servant, and felt satisfied, having the courage to live and die with him, not bad!

"Boy, with this good method, it can indeed solve part of the locust problem, but just relying on people, chickens and ducks to eat locusts can't stop the locust plague!

Besides, there are still a large number of people starving, how can they have the time to eat locusts? "

Bai Fan covered his mouth and laughed loudly, "What did Your Majesty just say? I didn't hear you clearly, can you say more?"

Li Er scolded, "Are young people deaf? I said, there are still a large number of people who are still starving. How can they have the time to eat?"

Forehead!Yes!

Li Eryi patted his thigh, "What a boy, what a great idea!

I was worried that there was no food to save my life, so the locusts came to my door, calling on the people to go out and eat the locusts vigorously, so naturally there would be no need to waste food, and there was no need to worry that the people would eat up all the locusts and could not stop their hunger!

Because the locusts simply can't finish it! "

Bai Fan nodded and said, "That's right, locusts reproduce very fast, and there is no grass growing in the places they pass. We have a way to eat locusts. This overwhelming locust plague will no longer be a disaster. Anyway, the drought has caused the fields to have no output. How good it is for us to eat the locusts grown in the fields, and still be able to feed ourselves!"

"However, you can't stop eating locusts by eating. The locust plague is still harmful. Once it ravages the grain-producing areas, the consequences will be very serious. Is there a way to completely solve this locust plague?" Li Er asked.

"Yes, I have recently summarized a set of emergency locust control plans. You can use the method of digging pits to lure them. At night, light the lights in the tunnels, and the locusts will fly towards the fire. In this way, many locusts can be wiped out at night!

During the day, in addition to picking up locusts from the ground to eat, the ministers also sent disciples of the beggar gang to buy locusts vigorously, buying by the catty, and ten catties of locusts cost one penny!

According to medical records, locusts are a good medicine. When locusts are dried and ground into powder, they are good medicines for insomnia and whooping cough in children!

Even if it is not used for medicinal purposes, it is delicious food. When it is mixed with food, it can be used as miscellaneous grains. This is much better than ordinary wild vegetables and coarse grains. As long as the operation is good, the common people can use the locust disaster to stock up for the winter Food is gone! "

Li Eryi patted Bai Fan's shoulder and praised, "Good boy, you have used a small locust to the extreme. It can not only eat locusts, but also store them. In this way, this locust plague is not only not a disaster, This is to send food to my people who have suffered a drought!"

"Your Majesty needs to send competent people to publicize this matter. The cooking oil for frying locusts may not be sufficient in common people's homes. It needs to be collected by the court. All kinds of vegetable oils are fine, such as sesame oil, soybean oil, etc., and even animal oil, lard, sheep oil, etc. , can be used when conditions are insufficient!

The imperial court just set up the oil pan, and the common people went to catch the locusts. The sum of the two is food! "

"Good idea, this matter, I will quickly send it to each state road in the form of an urgent official document, and let a group of imperial guards eat fried locusts first, and send them to various places with messengers!

At that time, several food transportation lines will continue, and the people will eat locusts if they can't eat food. This catastrophe will definitely pass!

You, Bai Fan, should take the lead! "

In Laojun's view, Bai Fan found his senior brother Yuan Tiangang, and Sun Simiao was also there!

"Senior Brother Sun, we need to rely on your reputation for disaster relief. You are recognized as a miracle doctor and a god. Locust powder is a good medicine. You need to come forward to promote it. Only after the people are convinced, will they believe in the disciples of the beggar gang. The acquisition of locusts!"

Sun Simiao nodded and said, "Being able to contribute to the relief of disasters and the people is an old moral duty! Junior brother, don't worry!"

"Senior brother, the Daoist sect controls the world's public opinion. Drought and locust disasters are the most likely to cause chaos. You must be optimistic. Don't let any troubles have anything to do with the Daoist sect. It may not be peaceful in the near future!" Bai Fan said to Yuan Tiangang with a little deep meaning.

"Brother, what do you mean?"

Before Yuan Tiangang finished speaking, Bai Fan nodded, everyone knew it well!

"Don't worry, the Taoist sect will only cooperate with Brother Sun to save people everywhere this time, and will not gossip!"

Bai Fan nodded, "That's good! As the old saying goes, after a catastrophe, there must be a catastrophe. This time, there may not be too many deaths, but so many people gather together in the summer heat, it's hard to say whether something will happen. We can Be prepared for disaster relief and epidemic prevention!

I have a volume of health and epidemic prevention handbook here, which has already been publicized by the imperial court, but the common people are worried about food and clothing, and the enforcement may not be enough. Therefore, Senior Brother Sun, tell Taoist disciples that they must publicize it on their behalf when practicing medicine! "

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the merits of what Junior Brother Bai has done is immeasurable! The blessings of the people of the world!"

Chapter 162 Locust?Good locust!

Not long after returning to Chang'an, Bai Fan was notified by the disciples of the Beggars' Clan that he had an important matter to see him!

Came to the chief rudder of the Chang'an Beggar Gang without stopping!

"What's the matter?" Sitting in the first seat, Bai Fan asked.

I saw an older beggar answering, "Master, there is something wrong in Luoyang! Many disaster victims around Luoyang began to pray to the sky for rain!"

"Oh? People in this disaster year don't understand the weather. It's normal to ask for rain, isn't there something wrong? Elder Song, please explain in detail!"
