Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her

When Zheng Shao was mentally preparing himself again and again, telling himself that the fried locusts were edible.

The oil temperature in the pot rose again, and Li Mengyue poured the locusts in the winnowing basket into the pot and fried them again.

When the locusts were taken out again, they had been fried until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Sprinkle with the three special seasonings of cumin, spicy and five-spice, a little salt, and you can eat it.

【Mmm, delicious. 】

As soon as the seasoning was sprinkled, before Li Mengyue could say anything, the system started eating happily.

[Host, I haven't eaten the locusts you fried in person for a long time. Wow, this spicy one is so delicious. ]

[Host, you can make such delicious spicy locusts, thank me quickly, without the chili peppers I got, how could it be so delicious. ]

【If it tastes good, eat more. Today I will definitely make you eat until you vomit. 】

[I won’t vomit. How could I vomit? Fried locusts are so delicious. I can eat them till the end of time.]

Li Mengyue no longer paid attention to the system, but reached out and picked up one to eat. It was crispy, spicy and fragrant. She chewed it gently, and her taste buds were satisfied instantly.

Zheng Shao saw Li Mengyue pick up the locust and eat it quickly and neatly, and asked cautiously.

"Miss Li, is this really edible?"

"Of course, fried locusts are most delicious while they are still warm. Lord Zheng, Lord Sun, please try them quickly to see how good my cooking skills are."

Zheng Shao got the exact answer from Li Mengyue, but the image of swarming locusts kept appearing in his mind. He felt so nauseous that he couldn't eat anything.

However, Sun Biao didn't have so many concerns and started eating.

Wu Zhen and several other county magistrates saw Sun Biao eating with gusto and subconsciously asked, "Sir Sun, how is it? Is it delicious?"

Sun Biao didn't say anything, just nodded, and his hands moved faster, eating one after another.

Wu Zhen smelled the tempting aroma and swallowed unconsciously.

"Crack, click, click!"

"Master Wu, why don't you eat them? These fried locusts are crispy and delicious."

After Sun Biao finished speaking, he grabbed another handful and started eating quickly.

"Grrrrrr!"

Touching his rumbling stomach, Wu Zhen prepared himself mentally, reached out to take one, and put it in his mouth with his eyes closed.

"Crack!"

Then Zheng Shao, Huang Yao County Magistrate, Shui Mo County Magistrate, and Gu Gang County Magistrate all stared and watched Wu Zhen eat one after another.

This time no one was asked to say anything, and four county magistrates including Zheng Shao also extended their hands.

Zheng Shao took a light bite, and the golden and crispy shell, as thin as a cicada's wing, instantly shattered in his mouth, making a subtle and pleasant "crunching" sound.

The crisp feeling is not only like the light sound of leaves rubbing against each other, but also like the subtle touch left by snowflakes falling on the palm of your hand.

The key point is not this. The best thing is the fried locusts. The meat inside is tender and juicy. Every time you eat one, it will bring a unique enjoyment to your mouth. Even the troubles and fatigue brought by the locust plague will disappear in the process of tasting the fried locusts.

Zheng Shao, who originally felt sick, now ate more happily than anyone else.

Li Mengyue ate one just to prove to everyone that fried locusts are edible.

Unexpectedly, she only demonstrated it once, and several county magistrates including Sun Biao, Zheng Shao, and Wu Zhen all started eating it without any scruples.

And while they were eating, Zhou Juan and others continued to fry locusts.

So much so that even in the absence of wind, waves of fragrance spread out from here to the surroundings.

People who were queuing up to buy locusts started talking about it when they smelled the aroma.

"Hiss, what's that smell? Why is it so fragrant?"

"Who knows? I was already hungry, and now I'm even hungrier."

"Me too, it smells so good, I'm so hungry!"

"Hey, look, is someone cooking over there?"

All eyes looked over at the same time.

As more and more locusts were fried, the fragrance spread further, and gurgling sounds were heard from the crowd.

"My Lords, how does it taste?"

Zheng Shao, Sun Biao, Wu Zhen and others who were busy eating locusts felt mixed emotions when they saw the girl in front of them.

Having tasted the locusts, they certainly knew what this meant, and their brains started working quickly.

Nowadays people believe that locust plagues are a punishment sent by God. Suddenly someone tells them that locusts not only destroy crops but can also become food for people. This news is absolutely shocking.

What’s more, the locust plague has already broken out and the entire Qingshan Prefecture cannot avoid it.

The people are displaced, and if the situation is not handled properly, there will be civil unrest.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was not strong to begin with, and the surrounding countries were eyeing it covetously. If it weren't for the Third Prince, the god of war, the enemy's iron hooves would have stepped onto the territory of the Great Zhou long ago.

People have always held a hostile attitude towards locusts.

But now Li Mengyue has let them know through practical actions that locusts are not only edible, but also taste good.

He looked around and his hands moved faster than his brain, grabbing another handful of golden fried locusts.

"Hmm, this crispy texture is so delicious."

Zheng Shao understood that if he wanted everyone to accept bombing locusts, he had to set a good example.

Only as the county magistrate was he not afraid and dared to eat, did the people dare to believe and suppress the fear brought to them by the locusts.

However, he did not mind taking the lead in showing off. Instead, he felt a vague sense of excitement.

After all, what he was doing was a historical first, changing people's perception of locusts, subverting tradition, and making locusts a food on people's tables.

What's more, fried locusts are not unpalatable at all, on the contrary, they taste surprisingly good.

Especially the spicy fried locusts, which you will never get tired of eating. If you eat them with a little wine, they are absolutely delicious.

When the people of Lanlong County saw their county magistrate eating locusts, expressions of horror appeared on their faces.

"Look, Master Zheng is eating locusts."

After saying this, he was still a little bit unbelieving. He rubbed his eyes and confirmed it again.

"Oh my god, can locusts be eaten?"

"Sigh~"

"Lord Zheng hates locusts so much that he dares to eat them."

"Oh, that's nothing. Every household in our village eats some locusts every day."

The person who said this was Wang Erniu, who was maintaining order nearby. He couldn't help himself when he heard the conversation in the crowd.

"Little brother, did I hear you right? Everyone in your village is eating locusts?"

"It's fake. Who would eat locusts every day? It must be a joke."

"Yes, let's not believe it. It's more important to queue up to sell locusts."

……

Wang Erniu saw that no one believed what he said, so he hurriedly said, "You don't believe what I say, but Lord Zheng ate the locusts, you all saw it clearly."
