The blessing of the Qing Dynasty is difficult to pass

Chapter 729 Locust Vegetables

Yinxiang struggled for a long time about whether to eat locusts or not.

"Rao'er, is there no other way to exterminate locusts? Like spraying poison or something." He asked with a worried face.

"For thousands of years, have you seen that some people have come up with other methods to exterminate locusts?" Yi Rao asked.

Yinxiang choked, "But after all, you are from a later life..."

Now Yi Rao has a frowning face, "But I'm a rich second generation who doesn't know anything... It seems that there are locusts in modern times, but I really don't know what method to use to destroy them."

If she had known that she would travel through time, she must have studied hard since she was a child, specializing in mathematics, physics and chemistry, and came to this poor place to flex her muscles and accomplish a great career!
Yinxiang "..."

"Hurry up, before the locusts come to Hebei, make a decision quickly." Yi Rao urged.

She has been thinking about this for the past two days, why the people don't eat locusts when there is a locust plague.After thinking about it, it really made her think of another possibility besides the locust god: the locusts are too mobile.

When there is a locust plague, the people actually have enough food to eat. Since there is enough food, they will definitely not catch the locusts.

But locusts eat crops at a very fast speed. It can be as short as a day or two, or as long as a week. After eating the crops, the locusts fly away, and the people have no food. Where are the shadows of locusts?

So, if you want to eat locusts, you have to catch them when they come. They are not easy to store, so you have to catch them and eat them on the spot.Otherwise, when the locusts fly away, everything will be gone.

That's why she urged Yinxiang to make a quick decision. By the way, she also invited the imperial physician from the imperial hospital to ask them if there is a good way to store the locust. After all, there is no refrigerator at this time.

When the imperial physicians heard that Yi Rao said that they wanted to eat locusts, their faces changed drastically, and they shook their heads one by one to refuse, and persuaded Yi Rao to give up the idea, so as not to anger the locust god.

Yi Rao "..."

Vulgar people!
She simply asked Xiao Bailong, "What nutritional value does this stuff have? How should it be stored?"

Xiao Bailong thought for a long time, then said slowly, "It seems to contain quite a lot of protein? Anyway, there is a certain amount of life essence, which is useful to you humans."

Of course, the life essence hidden in the locust is completely ignored.

After getting Xiaobailong's affirmative answer, Yirao breathed a sigh of relief, protein?Isn't this effect similar to that of eggs and milk tofu?

Good stuff!

Yirao called Yinxiang, relayed Xiao Bailong's words to him, and urged him to make a final decision, "Hurry up, or there won't be this shop after passing this village."

Now teach the people how to eat locusts, and when the locust plague breaks out again next time, the people will take the initiative to catch them, which can more or less recover some losses.

Can't store it?Then she ordered a lot of frying pans to be built outside the city, frying non-stop for twelve hours a day, and the fried food can always be stored for a longer period of time.

Yi Rao made a great determination, no matter what this time, she must get rid of this locust!

Yinxiang's face turned extremely ugly, but his most respected Master Shenlong had spoken, what else could he say?Lord Shenlong said that this locust has a high nutritional value, so he will eat it!

Yinxiang ordered people to catch some locusts in the field, and gave them to the cook to clean up: steamed, braised, fried, boiled, some of the same.

In order to increase the ornamental value and make it less difficult to swallow, the cook thoughtfully twisted off the head and legs of the locust, leaving only the body, so that it looks better when placed on a plate.

All kinds of locust dishes were served on the table, Yinxiang picked up the chopsticks with an expression of resignation, but couldn't put them down for a long time.

Seeing this, Yi Rao picked up the chopsticks and tasted them one by one. She didn't have any psychological burden, and she ate a lot when she was a child.

"Hmm... It's still delicious fried, crispy and fragrant." She commented.

It’s better to fry it, it’s simple and trouble-free, and it’s all fried at that time!
Yinxiang closed his eyes, stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a fried locust. The chopsticks stayed in mid-air for a long time, but he still didn't have the courage to put it in his mouth.

Even though Yi Rao was eating deliciously.

Seeing him dawdling, Yi Rao directly reached out and threw the locust held by his chopsticks into her mouth, chewed it a few times, then held Yin Xiang's face in her small hand, and fed it mouth to mouth.

It's like when her mother fed her instant noodles when she was a child.

Yin Xiang suddenly opened his eyes wide, and subconsciously wanted to push out what Yi Rao had brought into his mouth, but Yi Rao refused, and danced with his tongue around his tongue, not giving him any chance to spit it out.

With a "gudong", Yinxiang swallowed the locust in his mouth.

Yi Rao smiled and let him go, "How is it? It tastes good."

Yin Xiang was stunned for ten seconds before he came back to his senses. He looked at Yi Rao with grief and indignation, with a thousand words stuck in his chest, unable to utter a single word.

As a prince, he has the pride of his prince.Eating locusts is really beyond his ability.

Seeing this, Yi Rao threw another locust into her mouth, and the one that was mouth to mouth had to be fed to Yinxiang again.

Yin Xiang hurriedly waved his hand to refuse, "Stop, stop, I will do it myself, I will do it myself!"

After saying this, Yinxiang took a deep breath, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a locust and threw it into his mouth, his movements were crisp and neat, without giving himself the slightest feeling of hesitation.

After chewing a few times in his mouth, Yin Xiang looked at Yi Rao in disbelief, it was really fragrant and crispy as Yi Rao said.

After really overcoming the psychological defense, in terms of taste alone, this locust...is quite delicious.

It's no wonder that Yi Rao still had some thoughts when she said it.

"How about it, is it delicious?" Yi Rao looked at him proudly.

Yinxiang nodded, "It's not bad."

"Now you don't resist eating locusts, do you?"

Yinxiang sighed slightly, and put down the chopsticks in his hand, "Turning locusts into food is the best way to kill locusts."

"Then pack these up, go to Fourth Brother, and ask him to try it too. In the end, it is Fourth Brother who really makes the decision. As long as Fourth Brother eats it and sets an example for the world, the people will naturally follow suit."

Yin Xiang hummed, and instead of packing the locust vegetables on the table as Yi Rao said, he went to Yuanmingyuan with a bag of fresh locusts.

It is more likely to resonate with Yinzhen if it is done now.

Yuanmingyuan.

Yinzhen is having a headache about the disasters in Shanshan and Shanshan provinces. The speed of the locusts is very high, and they will soon reach Hebei province.

There were actually three provinces affected by the disaster, and there was no grain harvest for one year. The imperial court had to distribute grain for free until next year's wheat harvest.

Yinzhen's brows were furrowed, how much food would it cost so that no one would starve to death?
