Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 37
All the ministers were extremely excited. A huge problem can be solved by eating. It really feels like a dream.

Everyone flattered Ying Zheng in every possible way, but Ying Zheng smiled and waved his hands, "You don't have to do this, it's all thanks to that strange man!"

Only then did the ministers remember the strange man Ying Zheng had mentioned before, and suddenly became more interested in that strange man.

However, Yang Duanhe and Qiang Li were more interested in the fried locusts than the invisible man.

"Oh, what a pity, such delicious food, if there is some good wine at this moment, I can solve this pile by myself!" Qiang Yan smacked his lips, and couldn't help looking at Ying Zheng.

"Yes, yes, your Majesty just said that too." Yang Duanhe immediately echoed: "Such delicious food should be paired with fine wine to make eating more enjoyable!"

Ying Zheng was speechless when he heard the words, but he still waved to Zhang Han, who was on guard, and motioned him to bring the wine he was carrying with him.

Zhang Han had always been curious about what Ying Zheng and his ministers were eating, so he wanted to drink.

As a result, when he presented the wine bag, he saw that what His Majesty and the ministers were eating were all locust larvae, or even directly locusts, and he almost vomited suddenly.

Zhang Han really couldn't believe that the delicious food he was so greedy just now was actually made of locusts.

"You boy, what kind of expression is that, come on, you have a bite too!" While Zhang Han was dumbfounded, Qiang Yan hurriedly grabbed a handful of locust larvae and stuffed them directly into Zhang Han's mouth.

Zhang Han went crazy in an instant, and was about to spit it out, but Yang Duanhe covered his mouth, and laughed wildly: "Don't spit it out, this is all food, Your Majesty, what do you say!"

Ying Zheng also nodded solemnly, then squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Han.

Zhang Han's whole body was not well, and he couldn't vomit, so he had to bite the bullet and eat.

As a result, after this chewing, Zhang Han's eyes lit up, and Yang Duanhe saw him, so he laughed and let Zhang Han go.

"How is it? Is it delicious? Do you want to have another bite?"

Zhang Han was very willing in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, but he still couldn't help but subconsciously looked at Ying Zheng.

However, Ying Zheng ordered Zhang Han seriously: "This matter must not be leaked. The Black Ice Terrace must completely seal off what happened tonight, and the traces here must also be cleaned up."

Seeing Ying Zheng's serious words, Zhang Han immediately agreed, and then Ying Zheng and his officials continued to eat and drink with the fine wine Zhang Han brought, until late at night before returning to Xianyang City.

When Qiang Lu got drunk and came back to his house, his tigress had been waiting in the hall, and when he saw Qiang Lu drunk and walking in, he suddenly got angry and pulled his ears when he went up.

"Okay, you idiot, didn't you say that the palace invited you to discuss matters, that's how you go to discuss matters?"

Qiang Lu was caught by his mother-in-law's ear, and felt pain for a moment, and immediately begged for mercy: "Madam let go, it is really His Majesty's invitation, and it is also a drink to accompany His Majesty. I only drank a few more glasses when I was happy..."

"Even if I'm drinking with His Majesty, it's impossible to drink so late!" Mrs. Qiang Li had a look of disbelief, and her attack was even heavier.

Qiang Lu yelled in pain, "Really, Ma'am, look, I even brought back tonight's appetizers, look..."

Qiang Li presented the locust wrapped by his servant to his wife, and the wife let go after seeing something, but she stared at the crisply fried locust in Qiang Li's hand, but she couldn't tell what it was, with a puzzled expression on her face .

"What is this? It smells pretty good." Mrs. Qiang twisted it up and put it into her mouth tentatively. She nodded after taking a bite, "Is this newly made in the palace? It tastes good."

Seeing that his wife ate it straight away and said it was delicious, Qiang Yan couldn't help laughing and said: "It's delicious, I think so too, so I drank a few more glasses and brought some back for you, it's delicious. Just eat more!"

"You have a conscience, but you are not allowed to drink like this in the future, and drink so late!" Mrs. Qiang's face finally became milder, and she continued to eat locusts while asking Qiang, "You haven't told me, what's wrong with you?" What is it made of that tastes so delicious?"

"It's locusts." Qiang Yan chuckled.

"Locusts! What did you say?" Mrs. Qiang's eyes straightened, and the locusts she had just caught fell off. "Say it again, what is this?"

"Locust larvae, but there are also locusts, don't you think this is it!" Qiang Yan managed to pick out a small locust from among the locust larvae he brought back, and Mrs. Qiang vomited immediately after seeing it.

"Hey, don't vomit, how can you vomit such a delicious thing!" Seeing this, Qiang Lu suddenly yelled, "This stuff with a little wine, it's simply not too beautiful!"

"Beautiful, my mother makes you beautiful!" Mrs. Qiang Li was furious, and rushed towards Qiang Li with a violent shout.

Qiang Li was so frightened that he hurriedly dodged, shouting while hiding: "Ma'am, why are you doing this? This food is really delicious. Your Majesty and Lord Li Si both said so."

"How dare you lie to me, Your Majesty and the Prime Minister, how could they eat such filthy things? I will fight with you!" Mrs. Qiang Li was so disgusted that she wanted to drag Qiang Li to her death.

"Really, if you don't believe me, you can send someone to ask!" Seeing that his wife was impatient, Qiang Xun hurriedly explained.

"Really?" Mrs. Qiang's eyes were full of suspicion, but thinking about seeing the fried locusts just now, she couldn't help shivering, and thinking that she had eaten a lot just now, she was disgusted again.

She really couldn't figure it out, how could His Majesty and the Prime Minister call Qiang Li to eat locusts at such a late hour, can such filthy things be eaten?Even the beggars on the street may not be able to avoid it!

"What kind of expression do you have? Didn't the food taste delicious just now?" Qiang Yan grabbed a handful of locusts and threw them into his mouth, "I can tell you, from now on, maybe every household will have this thing for every meal. Food, our family also has a plate every day, no, two plates..."

Seeing Qiang Zhen eating locusts, Mrs. Qiang Zhen vomited again, feeling really sick.

"Father, mother, what do you eat, it's so delicious?"

The movement in the hall attracted Qiang Li's sons, and when they entered the hall, they smelled the aroma of fried locusts, and their eyes were straightened.

"It smells so good, Dad, what delicious food are you bringing us? Show me quickly..."

When the sons saw the locusts in Qiang Yu's hand, they immediately swarmed up to him. They divided the locusts in a few strokes and threw them into their mouths.

"No, don't eat, vomit..." Mrs. Qiang Huai went crazy, seeing her son and husband eating locusts together, almost collapsed!

"Well, it's delicious, what is this, Dad, why don't you bring more, just a few mouthfuls..." Qiang Li's sons still couldn't get enough of the food, and couldn't help complaining to Qiang Li.

"Don't worry, there will be more in the future, just locust larvae, and they will be everywhere in the Zhuangzi outside the city. Let's go together tomorrow to make more and come back to eat!" Seeing his wife's face changed again, Qiang Yan hurriedly fled.

Qiang Yu's sons haven't come back to their senses yet, and they are still smacking their lips in recollection. They are completely unaware that my mother is rushing towards them with a bad look on her face...
