Datang: Starting from Li Jiancheng

Chapter 57
"There will always be a way, Your Majesty, don't worry."

Empress Changsun felt a little distressed seeing Li Shimin like this, she pulled Li Shimin to the bed and sat down, and then pressed his temples.

Li Shimin sighed deeply, and then said: "Although the means of my ascension to the throne are not very honorable, since my ascension to the throne, I have worked hard, worked diligently and frugally, and have never done a single wrong thing."

"There is no lazy behavior. I think I am worthy of the sky, the earth, and the people. Now..."

"Your Majesty." Empress Changsun interrupted Li Shimin with a gentle voice, "If Your Majesty really doesn't know how to solve it, you can ask Marquis Wu, maybe he will have a solution."

After all, whenever Li Shimin encountered any difficulties before, he would always find Luo Bin immediately, and Luo Bin could always give the most effective solution.

Li Shimin's expression darkened a bit upon hearing this, and then he shook his head, "As the king of a country, I can't rely on a Lord Marquis for everything."

"Besides, he may not be able to do anything about it."

Empress Changsun knew that Li Shimin had his own stubbornness, so she did not continue to persuade, but smiled softly, "No matter what, my concubine will always trust your majesty."

Li Shimin patted the back of Empress Changsun's hand in relief, feeling some comfort in his heart.

Suzaku Street.

Luo Bin and Dou Yinger frowned at the locusts flying all over the street, and fanned them with their sleeves angrily.

"What's going on these days? Where did so many locusts come from?"

Dou Yinger frowned, looking impatient.

Luo Bin also pursed his lips, "Because they are from outside the customs. I heard that it is more serious there and has affected people's lives."

"Can Li Shimin do it? Can it still be solved?" Dou Ying'er said with a bit of disgust in her eyes, "If he continues to ink, the crops that the people have worked so hard to grow will be destroyed by these damn bugs. No more food.”

Luo Bin was about to say something when a reminder suddenly came through his mind.

"Ding! Task reminder, the host needs to solve this locust plague. After the end, you can get 0 points. The current point balance is [-]."

Hearing this, Luo Bin frowned helplessly, then glanced at Dou Ying'er next to him and said, "Let's go to Taiping Restaurant."

"Going to eat? It's not time for dinner yet." Dou Yinger asked puzzled.

Luo Bin sighed softly, "Go and solve the locust plague."

"Ah?" Dou Yinger was taken aback when she heard the words, and then immediately asked, "Why did you go to Taiping Restaurant to solve the locust plague?"

Luo Bin ignored him and walked straight forward.

"I'm talking to you, can you talk to me!" Dou Yinger kept tugging on Luo Bin's sleeve from behind.

"You'll know in a while." Luo Bin took Dou Yinger's hand that was tugging on her sleeve, and trotted all the way.

With him, the bugs flying around on the street are so annoying, he really doesn't want to walk slowly on the street.

Dou Ying'er was stunned for a moment. She blushed slightly when she saw the two people holding hands tightly, but she didn't break away in the end.

Soon, the two people arrived at Taiping Restaurant.

Luo Bin patted his clothes a little irritably, shook the annoying bugs on his body, and then told the waiter in the shop: "Go outside and catch a basket of locusts for me."

"what?"

The shop clerk was taken aback when he heard the words, and then touched his nose, "Master Hou, everyone avoids these locusts, why do you still let us catch them?"

"Go as soon as you are told, where is there so much nonsense?"

Luo Bin turned around to help Dou Yinger catch the worms again, completely oblivious to Dou Yinger's flushed face.

The waiter in the shop responded, and immediately went out with the basket.

Dou Yinger raised her eyes and glanced at Luo Bin, then asked softly, "Well... what are you going to do?"

"Didn't you say that the locusts ate people's food and affected people's lives, so why don't we just eat them?" Luo Bin shrugged, then said.

"what?"

Dou Yinger doubted her own ears and looked at Luo Bin in shock.

"Are you crazy? Are you going to eat those bugs?"

"What's the fuss?" Luo Bin glared at Dou Yinger, then pursed his lips, "Don't look at that thing as disgusting, but it's actually quite delicious and nutritious."

"Really?" Dou Yinger glanced at Luo Bin viciously, "Are you sure we won't be poisoned to death?"

"........."

Luo Bin glanced at Dou Yinger speechlessly, "You think too much."

After a while, the shop waiter came in with a basket of locusts, "Master Hou, here you are."

"Thank you." Luo Bin took the locust, then turned and went to the kitchen.

Dou Yinger also went in behind her.

The cooks of Marquis Wu who were busy in the kitchen were also surprised when they saw Luo Bin, and they all stepped forward to say hello, "Your Majesty."

"No need to be polite." Luo Bin waved his hand and then called everyone over, "I invented a new dish. Come here and learn how to order it."

Everyone heard the words and immediately stepped forward, looking at Luo Bin curiously, "Master Hou, what are you going to teach us this time?"

Luo Bin raised the bamboo basket in his hand, raised his eyebrows and said, "Stir fry the locusts."

"Locusts." The chefs were surprised, "Is this still edible?"

"Yes." Luo Bin nodded, and after quickly handling the locusts, he immediately heated up the oil and fried the locusts until golden.

Then stir-fry it with chili, and then quickly out of the pan.

A small basket full of locusts is only a small plate after frying.

"Come, try it." Luo Bin put the dishes on the table beside him, and said to the cooks around him.

Several chefs looked at each other, and then they all looked at Luo Bin in embarrassment, "Master Hou, can this be eaten?"

Luo Bin glanced at them speechlessly, then picked up a locust with his hand and chewed it.

"Here, I ate all of them. They are very delicious."

After saying that, Luo Bin pushed the plate forward again, "What are you afraid of, you have to be brave to try."

Then he took another locust and handed it to Dou Yinger, "Come on, try it too."

Seeing this, every cell in Dou Yinger's body resisted, and she immediately shook her head and took a few steps back, "No, no, I won't eat."

Luo Bin shook his head helplessly, and then turned his eyes to the master chef, "Then you eat."

"It must be eaten, this is an order."

Hearing this, the chefs sighed in resignation, and then everyone picked up a bug and put it in their mouths, chewing it with their eyes closed.

Then he opened his eyes again in surprise, and looked at Luo Bin with surprise.

"Master Hou, these locusts are crispy, crunchy and fragrant. They are really delicious." One of the cooks said, he caught another locust and ate it.

The other three cooks followed suit, "Yeah, I didn't expect this disgusting bug to be edible."
