Chapter 161 Locusts? Good locusts!
Li Er suddenly stood up from his seat, ran out of the Political Affairs Hall, and walked to the door, and happened to meet Bai Fan who was rushing towards him!
"What's the solution?"
"Eat! Locusts can be eaten!"
"Eat? Eat locusts? Who eats? Boy, you don't want the people to eat locusts, are you sick?" Li Er recovered from a disappointed expression after hearing this.
"It's true that locusts can be eaten!" Bai Fan said anxiously.
"I have never heard of it since ancient times. Could it be that you have eaten it?" Li Er said curiously.
Bai Fan smiled. He did eat it, but in his previous life, he patiently explained to Li Er, "Your Majesty, chickens and ducks can eat locusts and gain weight. People eat chickens and ducks without any trouble. Can it prove that locusts are not poisonous?
The reason why no one has eaten locusts since ancient times is because no suitable method has been found!
Eating raw is definitely not good, and it is easy to get sick!
Steaming and cooking tastes bad, and it will also make a bad thing. If you eat it after cooking, you can eat it, but some people with special physiques will cause excessive death after eating it!
But these do not prove that locusts cannot be eaten!
Humans are at the top of the food chain. As long as they find the right method, there is nothing they can't eat!
Locusts need to be fried to eat with confidence!”
Li Er didn't believe it at first, but Bai Fan's words were concise and sounded reasonable. Finally, he grabbed Bai Fan's arm and asked, "Take it serious?"
"really!"
"Come here, hurry up and catch a pound of locusts and send them to the imperial kitchen!
Boy, let's go and accompany my Royal Kitchen! I heard that you are so good at cooking, so show me your skills today?" Li Er took Bai Fan's hand and smiled and walked towards the Royal Kitchen. The problem was finally solved for many days, and he couldn't help but feel unhappy!
"So, I'm so ugly!"
Not long after, the imperial guards in the palace caught a small pile of locusts and sent them to the imperial kitchen!
Bai Fan quickly removed the locusts' wings and thighs from his hands and threw them into the prepared oil pan one by one!
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 before, so I don’t know if it could be eaten!
Bai Fan pinched one and put it in his mouth. He chewed it with a crisp sound. He squinted his eyes and showed a satisfied look. It was this taste. In his previous life, this thing was a good thing with high protein and it was very expensive to eat in a restaurant!
Li Er nodded in his heart. This kid is really sensible. As the emperor, he cannot eat casually. With the relationship between the two, he is not good enough to ask Bai Fan to try it out!
But Bai Fan took the initiative to eat it. I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but in short, he took care of Li Er’s face and tried poison for him. Li Er had already felt in his heart about Bai Fan’s actions!
Seeing Bai Fan's intoxicated look, looking down at the gradually decreasing locusts. Li Er also moved his index finger. He stopped hesitating and pinched a locust and put it in his mouth!
The eunuch Gao's heart was in his throat, afraid that something would happen to His Majesty because of eating locusts!
Bai Fan saw that his forehead was already sweating, and smiled, "Old Gao, come on, don't just look at me, try my skills. This is a good thing to nourish the body. It's okay, don't be afraid!"
Seeing that His Majesty had eaten, Lao Gao, as a slave, naturally followed His Majesty in life and death, so he boldly stepped forward and pinched one into his mouth. The crispy and fragrant smell attracted his taste buds. After chewing it quickly, Lao Gao bowed to Bai Fan and said, "Thank you, Marquis for taking care of the slave!"
Li Er glanced at this personal eunuch, feeling satisfied. It was great to have the courage to live and die with him!
"Boy, with this good solution, it can indeed solve some of the locust problems, but by relying on people and chickens and ducks to eat locusts, you can't stop the locust plague!
Besides, there are still a large number of people who are hungry, so where can I have time to eat locusts?”
Bai Fan covered his mouth and laughed, "What did Your Majesty just say? I didn't hear it clearly, can you say it again?"
Li Er cursed, "Is it just a little bit hard to get a slight grade? I said that there are still a large number of people who are still hungry, so how can I have time to eat..."
Well! Yes!
Li Er slapped his thigh, "Good boy, good idea!
Just as I was worried that there was no food to help my life, the locust came to my door and called on the people to go out and eat locusts vigorously. In this way, there was no need to consume food anymore, and there was no need to worry that the people would eat all the locusts and could not stop hunger!
Because the locusts can’t finish eating them!”
Bai Fan nodded and said, "Yes, locusts reproduce very quickly. Wherever they pass, they can be said to be without grass. We have a way to eat locusts. This overwhelming locust plague will no longer be a disaster. Anyway, the drought has caused no production in the fields. How good is the locusts produced in the fields, and we can still take care of food and clothing!"
"However, eating can cause endless locusts. The harm of locust plague is still there. Once it hits the grain-producing area, 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 a hole to lure. At night, lights are on the middle of the tunnel, and the locusts will fly to the fire, so that they can eliminate many locusts at night!
During the day, in addition to picking up locusts on the ground to eat, everyone also sent disciples of the Beggars’ Gang to vigorously purchase locusts, which were purchased by pounds, and ten pounds of locusts cost a penny!
According to medical records, locusts are good medicines. Locusts are roasted and ground into powder. They are good medicines for treating insomnia and whooping cough in children!
Even if it is not used for medicine, it is delicious. Once mixed with the grain, it can be used for mixed grains. This is much better than ordinary wild vegetables and coarse grains. As long as it is operated well, the people can use the locust plague to stock up on winter food!"
Li Eryi patted Bai Fan on the 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, it is giving food to the people who have suffered a drought!"
"This matter needs to be promoted by Your Majesty. The cooking oil for locusts may not be sufficient in the people's homes. It needs to be collected by the imperial court. All kinds of vegetable oils, sesame oil, soybean oil, etc., and even animal oil, lard, and sheep oil. They can be used when conditions are insufficient!
The court just puts oil pans on it and the people go to catch locusts. The addition of the two is food!"
"Good idea, I will quickly send this matter to various state roads in the form of an expedited official document, and let a group of imperial guards in the palace eat the locusts first, and then send them to various places with the messenger!
At that time, there will be several grain transport routes, and people who cannot eat food will eat locusts. This disaster will definitely pass!
You Bai Fan, you should be the first to be the best!"
In Laojun's view, Bai Fan found his senior brother Yuan Tiangang and Sun Simiao were there!
"Senior Brother Sun, this disaster relief requires your reputation. You are a recognized miracle doctor and a living god. Locust powder is a good medicine. You also need to come forward to promote it. Only after the people are convinced will you believe that the Beggar Gang disciples will acquire locusts!"
Sun Simiao nodded and said, "It is my duty to contribute to disaster relief and people! You don't need to worry about junior brother!"
"Senior brother, the Taoist sect controls public opinion in the world. Drought plagues and locust plagues are the most likely to cause chaos. You must be careful and don't let the chaos that comes from the Taoist sect have something to do with it. It may not be peaceful recently!" Bai Fan said to Yuan Tiangang with a little deep meaning.
"Junior brother, you mean..."
Before Yuan Tiangang finished speaking, Bai Fan nodded. Everyone knew it well!
"Don't worry, Daomen only cooperates with Senior Brother Sun to save people everywhere this time, and will not gossip!"
Bai Fan nodded, "That's good! The old saying goes, there will be a major epidemic after a major disaster. There may not be too many people die this time, but so many people gather together in the hot summer, it is hard to say whether something will happen. We must be prepared for disaster relief and epidemic prevention!
I have a volume of health and epidemic prevention manuals here, which has been promoted by the court on their behalf, but the people are worried about food and clothing, and the implementation may not be enough. Therefore, Senior Brother Sun told Taoist disciples that they must promote themselves when practicing medicine!"
"Wuliang Tianzun, Junior Brother Bai's actions have immeasurable merits! The blessings of the people in the world!"
