Chapter 37 The world is delicious!
Just when the atmosphere in the hall was tense, Li Chengqian appeared with a loud voice.

"Father! My son is here!"

Not long after, Li Chengqian came over with several cooks and some maids.

In the hands of these maids, there were still a few plates, and the plates were covered so that it was impossible to see what was inside.

Li Chengqian hurried to the front and laughed at Li Shimin.

"My son-in-law pays respects to his father."

[Oh my god, indeed, being with you is like being with a tiger. 】

[It hasn't been long since I arrived, and I'm already so irritable. The heartbeat speed when I heard the voice just now, it's no more than talking about a girlfriend. 】

【terrible! 】

"Flat body."

Seeing Li Chengqian appearing, for some reason, the anger in Li Shimin's heart disappeared instantly.

His eyes turned to the hands of the maids behind Li Chengqian. Facing these plates, Li Shimin narrowed his eyes.

"What's here?"

[What else can it be?Of course it is delicious and you will definitely want to eat it again. 】

[I ate a lot last night. 】

[I didn't expect so many locusts to be sent, but they all reached my stomach. 】

Hearing these things in Li Chengqian's mind, Li Shimin was more interested.

Immediately ordered people to lift those plates.

After the first plate was lifted, it turned out to be a bunch of black locusts inside.

The same goes for the other plates.

The locusts exude a faint burning smell, even looking at it makes people feel sick.

Many civil servants who were timid turned pale. If they had not been in the main hall, they would have run away long ago.

People like Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin who had been on the battlefield didn't feel anything, but looked curious.

"What is this stuff?"

"Of course it's a locust, and it's a processed locust, so it's edible."

"eat?"

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, the civil servants and military generals all stared wide-eyed, looking at the dark things on the plate in disbelief, swallowed secretly, and stared at Li Chengqian.

The scene was silent for a long time, and no one spoke first.

In the end, Li Shimin took a deep breath, forced down the shock in his heart, frowned and looked at Li Chengqian and asked in a low voice.

"Are you sure this kind of bug is edible? It's a pest."

"Father, my son ate a lot last night."

Grinning, Li Chengqian said with a smile.

[Last night was not satisfying enough. If it were not for you to taste the delicious food, I am afraid that this would also end up in my stomach. 】

[Is it easy for me? 】

[However, after this delicacy is promoted, some people will spontaneously catch the locusts, so there is no need to worry about not having enough food. 】

Listening to Li Chengqian's thoughts, Li Shimin frowned, hesitated for a while, and gritted his teeth as if he had made some important decision.

"Bring me a plate!"

Having said that, I stopped again.

"My dear dears, in the main hall today, everyone, let's have a taste of the First Prince's food."

Speaking of this, Li Shimin felt a lot better, he couldn't let himself suffer this kind of crime alone.

Whether it is delicious or not, the ministers are all following, what are you afraid of?
As he said this, Li Shimin picked up one of the locusts and put it into his mouth.

The eunuch's expression changed drastically.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not, this has not been tested for poison, Your Majesty, you can't!"

"Hey, what do you mean, old man? Do you mean that I will poison my own father? Is my brain not cured?"

What the old eunuch said directly angered Li Chengqian.

What is the occasion now?
This is early morning!

And he is the eldest prince, Li Shimin's own son!

If there are no mistakes in the middle, he will be the emperor in the future!

After he made such a move, did he get tired of working?

【I really want to slap you to death right now! 】

I thought fiercely in my heart, but it was just thinking.

The old eunuch's expression became tangled, and he didn't know how to answer.

At this time, under the gaze of everyone, Li Shimin had already eaten several locusts.

"Well, it's simply delicious in the world, delicious in the world!"

After chewing slowly a few times, Li Shimin's eyes lit up, looking at the ministers in the hall, he laughed.

Unexpectedly, the locust, which poisoned the people, would be so delicious after some cooking.

"Everyone, please try it. Chengqian's cooking is really good. It tastes delicious. It's completely different from the imperial dishes I ate before."

Hearing this, the civil servants who were a little timid at first turned pale and trembled all over.

Those generals were fine, after all, they hadn't eaten anything during the war.

As long as you don't starve to death.

Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong looked at each other in blank dismay, and stepped forward to taste it first.

When the locusts entered, Cheng Yaojin ate a few more.

"The eldest prince is truly a god. I, Old Cheng, never thought that insects could be eaten like this."

And the other courtiers were also under Li Shimin's instruction, so they could only bite the bullet and eat it.

After the first bite, there will naturally be a second and third bite.

It didn't take long for the bugs Li Chengqian fried to be eaten.

Only some of the broken arms and legs are in the plate.

Li Chengqian chuckled.

"Father, I think this time is not an opportunity for Datang?"

"There is sufficient nutrition in the body of the locust, and what the people of Tang Dynasty lack most now is nutrition. Most of them can't afford meat. Locusts are ready-made."

Speaking of this, Li Chengqian became extremely emotional.

These locusts were his favorite food in his previous life.

Hearing what Li Chengqian said, the eyes of the ministers present lit up.

But at this time, a courtier stood up and frowned, looking at Li Chengqian and Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, the bugs may be sick. If you eat them, what should you do if you get sick?"

"And how can bugs be eaten as meat?"

"Why can't it?" Li Chengqian suddenly looked unhappy, put his hands on his chest and hummed softly, looking at him and said in a cold voice.

From Li Chengqian's point of view, these people are simply looking for faults for no reason.

"Furthermore, after high temperature, is there anything that can't be killed? Even if there are parasites in it, just eat it together."

[It's really pedantic. 】

[Why do people care about this?As long as they announce how to eat locusts, they will know what to do. 】

[When you can't afford to eat, and you can't fill your stomach, who will care so much. 】

Before the minister continued to speak, Li Shimin raised his hand to block back what the minister was about to say, gave Li Chengqian a meaningful look, nodded, and ordered to go on.

"This matter will be handed over to the eldest prince. All loves will do their best to cooperate. Do you have any objections?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay and shook their heads again and again, what opinion could they have?
Dare to have an opinion?
Although Li Shimin was asking them, they all knew in their hearts that Li Shimin had already made up his mind to hand over this matter to Li Chengqian.

Now that this situation comes out to refute, it is simply hitting the gun.

Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows immediately, and looked at these people with a little provocation and snorted softly.

"Thank you Royal Father, my son will definitely live up to Royal Father."

Later, Li Shimin mentioned the reform of the official system that Li Chengqian had mentioned before.

After a period of discussion, the official reform proposed by Li Chengqian was almost unanimously approved, and the reform was implemented immediately.
