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

When everyone heard Wang Erniu say this, no one objected.

They had eyes and they actually saw Lord Zheng eating the locusts. There was no expression of difficulty in swallowing on his face. It was as if he was eating something delicious.

Of course, the people of Lanlong County don’t know that locusts are extremely rich in protein, and they are seasoned with the three kinds of seasonings prepared by Li Mengyue: cumin, spicy and five-spice.

It tastes even better, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is an ancient version of barbecue dinner.

Especially the spicy flavor, people here have never tasted this flavor. It can be said that Li Mengyue has created a historical precedent. In time, it will definitely change the eating habits of the Da Zhou.

After all, whether it was Zheng Shao, Wu Zhen or other county magistrates, they all loved to eat spicy fried locusts. The spicy and numbing taste stimulated the taste buds and opened their appetites, and they felt it was no problem to eat two or three kilograms at a time.

Jiang Zhong, who was maintaining order, saw the people's reactions and thought they were abnormal, so he turned his attention to Zheng Shao.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but after just one look, Jiang Zhong was stunned. He felt very nervous when he saw his parents stuffing food into their mouths one after another.

These are locusts. I heard that locusts in a locust plague are poisonous. If you eat so many of them, you will soon die.

He quickly ran towards Zheng Shao, shouting as he ran: "Sir, don't eat them. Even if the locusts are too hateful, you can't joke with your life."

Zheng Shao looked at Jiang Zhong, who was out of breath because of running too fast, and said happily: "Lieutenant Jiang, try this fried locust, it tastes really good."

Jiang Zhong looked at the adult who recommended the fried locusts to him and had only one thought in his mind.

"It's over, it's over, the master has gone crazy!"

But the locust plague has just passed, and the county magistrate is still needed to preside over the situation. How can anything go wrong with the adults at this time? Absolutely not.

"Snapped!"

Jiang Zhong raised his hand and knocked the locust that Lord Zheng handed to him to the ground, then stepped on it.

"Sir, please don't be stubborn. You can't eat such filthy things."

Zheng Shao saw a spicy fried locust being stepped into the soil, and he felt so distressed.

"Lieutenant Jiang, what are you doing? It's shameful to waste food."

Jiang Zhong saw that the adult was so distressed about a locust that his head was buzzing. He wanted to say something when something was suddenly stuffed in his mouth.

Realizing what was in his mouth, Jiang Zhong spat it out without hesitation. However, before he could spit it out, he heard words of stern reprimand from his master.

"Lieutenant Jiang, you are not allowed to waste food, or you will be fined thirty strokes of the cane."

Jiang Zhong thought he was a man of his stature and was not afraid of thirty lashes of the cane, but he could not bear the stigma of wasting food.

So he suppressed his nausea, closed his eyes, and took a big bite with a righteous determination to die.

"Crack, click, click!"

This taste...

Jiang Zhong was stunned, suspecting it was his illusion, and chewed it twice more.

This time he thought he must be starving, after all, he hadn't eaten much since yesterday.

"Mmm, it's delicious. What kind of delicacy is this?"

The moment the locust is bitten into pieces in your mouth, the crispy feeling is so addictive.

But a locust can be eaten in a few bites.

How could he be satisfied with just one? Jiang Zhong immediately turned his attention to Zheng Shao's hand.

"Sir, the thing in your hand..."

"What's wrong with what I have in my hand? What does it have to do with County Lieutenant Jiang? Oh, didn't County Lieutenant Jiang say that this is pickled food and can't be eaten?"

"It's okay, sir. I don't mind. You can continue to organize people to sell locusts!"

After hearing this, Jiang Zhong had nothing to understand. What he said before was remembered by the adults.

But he has been with the master for five years, and he never knew that his master was so petty.

"Sir, it is my fault, please forgive me!

Zheng Shao glanced at Jiang Zhong sideways, as if to say, if you think locusts are inedible, why are you staring at them so eagerly?

However, Zheng Shao also knew the priorities of the matter. The most important thing at the moment was to make the people accept that locusts were edible and could be used as food, so he did not bother with Jiang Zhong anymore.

But he couldn't swallow this humiliation and wanted to give a slight punishment and a severe warning.

So he ate five locusts in a row, and then he said slowly, "Lieutenant Jiang."

"My subordinate is here."

"In consideration of your unintentional mistake, I will punish you by making you bring fried locusts with you to spread the news that locusts are edible to the people."

"Yes, my lord."

Jiang Zhong immediately accepted the punishment and happily walked to the basket containing the locusts.

Li Mengyue understood Zheng Shao's meaning and asked someone to bring three small bamboo baskets to Jiang Zhong.

Each small bamboo basket is filled with fried locusts, each with a different flavor.

Then the people who were selling locusts saw this scene.

County Lieutenant Jiang, who had been trying hard to persuade Lord Zheng not to eat locusts, was now carrying three small backpacks and eating fried locusts as he walked towards them.

Not to mention that County Captain Jiang was eating so happily, they also felt hungry.

"Hey, do you think locusts are edible?"

"Needless to say, you saw it, not only Lord Zheng was eating, but others were eating too."

"If that's the case, then we can eat the locusts we catch."

"Of course, but I think it's more practical to exchange it for money."

"Me too. No matter what, it's better to buy it as food."

At this time Jiang Zhong happened to walk here and heard everyone's conversation. Without saying a word, he caught five locusts.

"One for each of you, let's taste it."

These people saw that the county magistrate was eating and said how embarrassing it was, but their hands did not slow down at all.

He picked up one and ate it, and after eating it he stared at Jiang Zhong.

Jiang Zhong felt uneasy at the naked look and walked forward quickly.

"Lieutenant Jiang, I ate too fast just now and couldn't taste it. Give me another one."

"Me too. I want one too."

"And I."

Jiang Zhong looked at the rather large number of locusts in the small bamboo basket and thought to himself that they were not enough for him to eat, so he gave them to you. What are you thinking?

But at this moment, Jiang Zhong's eyes and mind were filled with exploding locusts, and he had no idea what the task assigned to him by Lord Zheng was.

But the people who had eaten the fried locusts thought that it was just a locust and County Magistrate Jiang would definitely not bother with them.

So when Jiang Zhong didn't offer anything, everyone took action.

"Hey, don't grab it, don't grab it, leave one for me!"

"Ah, I haven't eaten any yet, I want to try some too."

"I want to eat, too."

Jiang Zhong underestimated the hungry man. He was still holding the delicious fried locusts and wandering around. If he didn't grab the food, who would he grab?

After a moment, the three small backpacks were empty.

Jiang Zhong was dumbfounded. Only one locust leg was still dangling on the backpack, as if mocking his incompetence.

Those who got the locusts were grinning from ear to ear, while those who didn't get any looked like they had lost 100 million. They completely forgot that the locusts were not theirs at all.
