Chapter 189 Locust Infestation?

Da da. .Before dawn, the rapid sound of horseshoes pierced the sky of the capital. Outside the palace gate, two thousand-mile horses stopped their fast hooves, the horses neighed, and the postman jumped down.

"Report!" Holding the [-]-li express report in his hand, the soldier rushed into the palace.

"Report! Northeast bee disaster!"

Outside the imperial study room, the soldier handed the urgent documents to Eunuch Yu panting, and sat down on the ground, gasping for breath, his face covered with sweat.

"Your Majesty, hurry up for eight hundred miles."

Xuan Che took the document over and quickly opened it, looking at the memorial inside, his face was full of solemnity.

"Go! Invite Prince Duan to the palace right away... Wait a minute, and call Su Shizi over as well."

"Yes." Hearing what he said, Eunuch Yu quickly turned around and walked outside even though he was puzzled as to why the eldest son was also called into the palace.

When receiving the decree, Su Ruomu was also very surprised, looked at the forbidden army who delivered the decree, and then looked at Xuanji.

"Ji, is he confused? It's normal for you to enter the palace. What should I do?"

"Maybe he just wants to hear your opinion."

Xuanji stretched out his hand to straighten his clothes, then pulled him outside.

The two quickly entered the palace and came outside the imperial study room. Because the door of the imperial study room was open, the two walked in directly.

"His Majesty."

"Stop saluting, Brother Huang, let's take a look at the excerpts from the Northeast." Xuan Che was suffering from a terrible headache now, so he didn't care about other things, so he handed the excerpts directly to him.

Su Ruomu sat down, looked at Xuanji's frown when he opened the folder, and knew that the matter was more serious than they imagined.

Xuan Che looked at the two with a solemn expression. "There was a locust outbreak 30 years ago. At that time, tens of thousands of people starved to death. In those few years, the people were in dire straits. But I didn't want to. This year, there was another locust plague. The scale is not very large now. The local officials are honest and released it directly. Medicine, but it’s still a drop in the bucket.”

It's just that once locusts are encountered, the people will suffer unspeakably. The situation in the Northeast has improved in recent years. If the locusts are allowed to grow, I'm afraid that all their efforts will be in vain. Thinking of this, Xuan Che is really worried.

Xuanji sat down, handed the folder to Su Ruomu, and looked up at the emperor. "Don't worry, we are not strong now, we can have a solution."

Su Ruomu looked at the contents of the booklet in his hand, and it roughly said that the newly discovered rice locust had formed a certain number, and he was using medicine, but with little effect, so he sought the imperial court's support.Putting the booklet on the table, Su Ruomu smiled slightly and looked at Xuan Che. "No wonder Erhuo caught one a few days ago, maybe he is going to the capital to hang around."

"Ruomu, you have a lot of ideas, do you think there is any way to control them?" Xuan Che knew that although he was born in the Jianghu, he was full of ideas.

When Su Ruomu heard his words, he gave him a meaningful look. "Everyone treats locusts like natural enemies, but they don't know that their whole body is a treasure, which can be used for medicine, let alone food. The medicinal effect can cure children's colds, asthma, bronchitis, shortness of breath, warm stomach and rib yang , invigorate the spleen and eliminate food, even lower blood pressure, etc. Eat it, I have eaten fried locusts, drunk grasshoppers on the stove, spicy grasshoppers, migratory locusts, fried locusts, braised locusts, etc. Hundreds of How do you want it to be eaten?"

As soon as his words came out, both Xuan Che and Xuan Ji were stunned.

Xuan Che looked at him incredulously, "Ruomu, tell me... can these things be eaten?" Vomit. .Speaking of this, His Majesty the Emperor felt like vomiting.Even Xuanji, who did not change his face when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, raised his eyebrows in surprise. They had never heard that such disgusting things as locusts could be eaten, is that okay?

"Not only is it edible, but it also tastes great! As long as you eat it once, it's hard not to like it in your life."

"It's very simple, if you can eat it, you'll know if you try it?" Su Ruomu glanced at the two brothers and said with a smile. "Not only delicious

"

Hearing his words, Xuanji pondered for a sip of tea, and finally looked at him. "If it's really delicious, you can give it a try. At that time, those old men can serve it as a side dish."

"It will definitely give you endless aftertaste. Your Majesty will give me a few royal chefs. I will write out the method and let them follow it. Then let those in the capital who love to drink try it. I can't do it. They will not be hooked on such a delicious thing. As long as this way of eating spreads, those restaurants and businessmen will still try their best to get grasshoppers out. At that time, they will definitely spend money to buy them, and a large number of people will catch them. We will buy them again. Think about it, the royal family Once you join, how crazy are the people? Locust plagues? I guarantee that within a month, three locusts will not dare to swarm, and they will not be able to pounce."

How terrible was the Chinese foodie in the previous life, as long as it was edible, they could come up with hundreds of flavors, flooding them? ?snort!It will definitely make you an endangered animal for one month.

"Then... let's try first?" Xuan Che finally decided, let's try. "Eunuch Yu."

"The servant is here." Outside, Eunuch Yu pushed the door and entered, and stood respectfully in the hall.

"Go and catch us a basket of locusts. You have to take off all their wings. Hurry up and call the imperial army to go to the rice fields outside the city." Because last year's winter was mild, there will definitely be some in the fields outside the city.

Eunuch Yu was very puzzled, so he went outside quickly.

In the afternoon, the forbidden army actually caught a basket of grasshoppers for Su Ruomu, and he could tell by looking at the fat grasshoppers.How nourishing their lives are.

"Come on! Get me all the guys and go to the most enthusiastic street in the capital. We will have a free tasting, and there will be many people watching. You can watch and eat for me. Just don't let them eat the plate. " After finishing speaking, Su Ruomu walked outside.

When the imperial guards behind him heard his words, they all looked at each other in surprise, and then looked at the grasshopper in the basket with its wings and legs pulled out in astonishment. The prince said, this thing. . .can eat?

With them and the imperial chef, everyone marched to the extremely lively streets of the capital. After one stop on the street, the imperial chef quickly moved a simple stove, added a wok, and was ready.

The Imperial Guard held a gong and beat the drum, and the thumping sound immediately attracted everyone's attention. "Come here, we're going to try it today, the royal chef of the palace will try it."

The words "Imperial Palace Royal Cook" were extremely loud, and the common people came over one after another. In the blink of an eye, thousands of common people gathered in a blink of an eye. The scene was very spectacular.

Su Ruomu was very satisfied with this effect. He stood on an empty table and looked at everyone below. "Everyone, the imperial chef is trying to eat today, do you know what to eat?"

As soon as his words came out, all the people shook their heads one after another. They only heard about the tasting and came here. How would they know what to eat?Anyway, it's not dragon meat.

Take a living grasshopper out of the basket and hold it high. "Do you know what this is?"

"Grasshopper!" "Locust!" The people said in unison, no one knows this thing.

"But do you know? This thing is a treasure all over the body. In my hometown, it can be used as medicine and food. Not only can it treat asthma and children's colds, but also, its protein is very high, and it can be eaten with wine. It is very delicious tasty."

What?As soon as these words came out, the people were instantly blown away.

"How can this be eaten?"

"That's right. How can you eat such a disgusting thing?"

"I'm just saying? Why did the royal chef in the palace suddenly show up and cook for us? How could this food be eaten?"

"That's right. I don't know what they are doing. Is it a ghost if you can eat it?"

"I heard from the old man that it can be eaten, but the taste is really disgusting."

The faces of all the people showed disbelief, and there was a lot of discussion, and their faces were full of disbelief.

"Everyone." Su Ruomu looked at them, and naturally knew that he would not believe it if he hadn't eaten it. "That's why we tasted it. These are imperial cooks, cooking for His Majesty. Do you know why I can call them? Of course I can't, but Your Majesty can. This is his cook. Think about it, if you can't Eat, does Your Majesty let you eat it? If you can eat a dead person, will Your Majesty be willing to give it to you?"

As soon as his words came out, he successfully blocked the mouths of the people.

At this time, a man with a flushed face came out. He obviously had drunk his head just now, but his mind seemed quite clear. "My lord, you can't lie to us, what if we eat a broken body?"

"Don't worry. If you really break your body, I'll pay you a hundred taels of silver, how about it?"

As soon as the words came out, the people immediately became interested. Anyway, this grasshopper is really hard to eat, and you can still get a hundred taels of diarrhea if you accidentally eat it. Why don't you try it!Anyway, the imperial chef, the food made is absolutely unpalatable.

"Okay, we'll just wait."

"Yes, let's try."

Seeing this, Su Ruomu nodded, took out five sheets from his pocket, and handed them to the five royal chefs.

With just one glance, the imperial chef immediately turned red. He quickly asked someone to clean up the grasshoppers, then put the oil in the pan, and neatly prepared the ingredients in his hands, and started to get angry.

Wow. .On the quiet street, the collision of the spoon and the pot produced heated sparks. Gradually, a scent that had never been smelled hit the nostrils, and many people began to swallow their breath.

"It's so fragrant? It won't be really delicious."

"I heard from the elders of the older generation that it seems that this thing is really edible."

"I've heard of it too, but I haven't heard of it being delicious."

Everyone smelled the fragrance and began to salivate, their eyes fixed on the five pots. At this moment, they wanted to know if it was as delicious as this fragrance.

In the first round, five sets were played in a row. Su Ruomu picked up one set and said, "This set is called Locust Tengda, who wants to try it?"

As soon as his words came out, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally the man drinking just now boldly raised his hand. "My son, I'll try it first, but if it's really not delicious, don't blame me."

"Don't worry, it's absolutely delicious." After speaking, he handed the plate to his eyes.

The man looked at everyone's eyes and fell on himself, swallowed lightly, and picked up one boldly,

Gently put in the mouth.At this moment, Su Ruomu saw disgusting disgust in many people's eyes.

The man was also disgusted, but when he took the first bite of the crispy fried grasshopper, he instantly opened his eyes wide and looked at Su Shizi in disbelief. "My lord, it's so delicious!"

God!He has never eaten such delicious game, and it is absolutely the best in the world for drinking.

"Really?" Seeing his expression, his friend next to him seemed to take one without believing in evil, and then opened his eyes wide in surprise. "Oh my god! It's really delicious."

Seeing their real expressions, the people next to them quickly reached out to take them, and then they all had the same expressions as the first man.

"My God! There is such a delicious food in the world."

"I really can't imagine that grasshoppers can be so delicious."

"Quick, I still want to eat."

"I also want!"

On the square, the common people rushed to the imperial kitchen in front, and the imperial chef did not stop, and when all the grasshoppers were finished, some of them still could not be divided.

"What's going on? My son, you are too stingy, why did you finish eating so quickly?"

"That's right. Anyway, give us more food, it's too stingy for such a delicious thing."

"Yes, son, you are too picky. This is just so little, it's not enough."

At this moment, everyone began to complain that Su Ruomu didn't bring enough, and there was still the look of disgust just now.

Su Ruomu stood on the high platform, looked at everyone, and raised a bright smile. "Everyone, locusts are infested in the northeast. You can eat as many grasshoppers as you like. There are hundreds of ways to eat them. I will let people post them all. You can choose as you like."

At this moment, everyone dispersed quickly, and everyone went to the restaurant to order, because they knew that the restaurant would do everything possible to catch them and serve them on the table.

In almost three days, in just three days, there were hundreds of locust-made delicacies in restaurants in the entire capital. They seem to rush into the Northeast, catch locusts when they see them, and pay high-paying local people to buy them at a high price per kilogram.

In just one month, not to mention the locusts in the fields, even the insects that looked like locusts were almost extinct. There was no trace of the locust plague.

At this moment, Xuan Che looked at his elder brother's lover with eyes of admiration, and he really admired him in his heart.

Since then, people all over the country stared desperately at the locusts in the fields in spring and summer, wishing that they would become a plague of locusts. There was no talk of locust plagues in the Xuantian Dynasty, and then they began artificial breeding. Even so, the supply was in short supply.Since then, locusts have become a favorite dish for every family in the Xuantian Dynasty, especially those old men who are always willing to spend a lot of money to buy back the current wine.

Family.
