Chapter 191

The so-called fried flying shrimp is also called locust Tengda in some places. In fact, it is fried locust.

The meat of locusts is soft and delicious like shrimp.

Many later hotels have this dish. However, instead of using wild locusts as food, Li forgets worry uses artificially bred locusts.

Although locusts are pests, they are high in protein and rich in lecithin, which can improve memory. Invigorating the spleen and digestion, relieving cough and asthma, preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and lowering blood pressure... In short, it is not only a delicious food, but also a good tonic.

Unfortunately, no one dares to eat such a thing in the Tang Dynasty, and even dare not kill it because of fear of the locust God.

The locusts of China in later generations can only survive by artificially raising them.

These locusts were captured in the field by the Niu brothers just now.

The brothers were also in awe of the locust, but since they saw many ducks eating locusts, nothing happened, their fear of the locust God became much weaker.

So Li forgot to worry and asked them to catch locusts. After a little hesitation, they obeyed their orders and grabbed a bag back.

Li forgot to worry about throwing the locusts into the kitchen pot, rolling them over with boiling water, and then fishing them out with a fence to drain the water.

Fry the locusts in hot oil until they are golden and crisp. Sprinkle salt and a little pepper. A delicious fried flying shrimp is presented to the Tang Emperor Li Er and his officials.

Cheng Yaojin just held out his chopsticks and froze in the air. After a moment of hesitation, he asked uncertainly, "boy, where is this shrimp? How does it look like a locust?"

"Ha ha, uncle Cheng has good eyesight. It's locusts." Li forgets to worry and laughs.

His words surprised all the people present. Li Er's face was even worse: "nonsense! How can this locust eat?"

Li forgot to worry and looked at Li Er. He secretly said that in a few months, Li Shimin will eat locusts raw. It's even more disgusting. I'll make delicious dishes for you.

He didn't know that Li Shimin, who ate locusts raw a few months later, was the man with a curly beard in front of him who had been attacked many times in a row

Li forgot to worry and turned his eyes. Suddenly, he replied seriously, "the people regard food as their lives, and locusts eat food, which is harmful to the people. The people are innocent. If locusts really have spirit, it will be on me. Don't harm the people any more. So I will eat this locust!"

Li forgot to worry about his evil taste. He directly plagiarized what Li Er said to the ministers when he ate locusts. After a little modification, he used it to deceive the powerful people of the Tang Dynasty.

When he finished, he grabbed the fried locusts on the plate, threw them into his mouth and chewed them.

Well, incense! It tastes better than those artificially bred locusts in later generations!

Li forgot to worry and ate with his mouth full of crunchy fragrance, while several people on the side were stunned. But when Li Er heard the speech, he frowned slightly, bowed his head and thought about something.

This was basically what he said a few months later. Now it was said by Li forgetful. Naturally, it was said in Li Er's heart. He felt that what Li forgetful said was true and very suitable for his appetite.

Including Cheng Yaojin, whether Chang sun Wuji, Fang Xuanling or Du Ruhui, they all looked at the plate of fried locusts on the table and didn't know what to do.

But the beautiful boss on one side, after seeing the fried locusts, held out his chopsticks with great interest, picked up a burnt yellow and crisp locust, put it into his mouth and chewed it slowly.

"Forget your worries, the locusts are delicious. Sure enough, they have the taste of shrimp, which is better than what I have eaten before." Su Changqing smiled. When she traveled to Yunnan in her previous life, she tried all kinds of fried insects and was not afraid.

"Empress Su has eaten it before?" asked sun Wuji curiously.

Su Changqing blinked. Knowing that he had said something wrong, he didn't answer. He just smiled and nodded, even if he answered.

The reason why Li forgot to worry about making the fried locusts was that the black man had a bad taste and wanted to block the hearts of these hall leaders.

Ask you bastards to eat big families. Don't you know I'm so poor now?

After coming to Datang, Li forgets not only the debt of 2 million yuan has not been reduced, but TEMAO's debt has turned into more than 2.6 million yuan.

Give you locusts. Disgust these freeloaders!

Second, it's not all for mischief. He also wants to try to convince these big men that locusts can not only be killed, but also be eaten!

Really, when Li Ersheng ate locusts a few months later, the cauliflower was cold.

With the current trend of locusts spreading in Guanzhong Road, I'm afraid it will be too late for the land to be eaten.

Just as everyone looked at each other, Li Er suddenly laughed and picked up chopsticks. Without waiting for others to dissuade him, he picked up a fried locust and threw it into his mouth.

After chewing a few times, Li Er's eyes brightened: "the locust is very delicious after frying. It tastes like shrimp."

As he spoke, he picked up a few fried locusts with chopsticks and ate them with relish.

Seeing that Li Er had eaten, Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong would not fall behind, so they moved chopsticks one after another.

Fried locusts are naturally delicious. Otherwise, they will not be artificially raised as food materials in future generations.

Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong also nodded, and their chopsticks couldn't stop clamping the locusts on the plate.

Chang sun Wuji couldn't help eating. He stretched out his chopsticks. Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They could only stretch out their chopsticks.

Many things, once they got rid of the psychological barrier of eating locusts and tasted the delicious fried locusts, Li Er and several important ministers threw aside their arms and ate happily. Soon, a large plate of fried locusts was full, and they were eaten clean.

The beauty boss even stretched out her chopsticks once, and then she never had a chance to taste the second bite, leaving her speechless for a while.

Cheng Yaojin is addicted to food. He carelessly shouted to Li forgetful, "boy, go and get another plate. Is this stuff stuffed between your teeth?"

Li forgot to worry and turned his eyes. These food goods!

He asked the Niu brothers to go back to the field to catch some locusts, and then bowed solemnly to the people.

"Fang Xiang, uncle Cheng, uncle Qin and all the princes, this locust can not only eat, but also satisfy their hunger. When the locust God said, it was nonsense! On the occasion of this great disaster, little Meng Lang, please persuade the saints in the court to order to eliminate locusts and save all the people in the world."

His words came from the bottom of his heart without any affectation.

The people sitting there secretly turned their eyes to Li Er to see how he expressed his position.

Li Er pondered for a moment, but sighed again: "how can we not think about killing locusts? Alas, we still need to make plans for this matter."

Li forgets his worries, but his eyes are anxious. It's this bearded man again!

Do you think you are making eyes at the blind and doing useless work in vain?

His temper also came up and his neck stopped: "please, gentlemen. There is no surplus food in the boy's family. I'm sorry not to entertain you!"

Once this was said, everyone was absolutely overwhelmed.

If you want to drive Li Shimin and a group of founding fathers and important officials out, I'm glad you can say it!
