Datang: This imperial censor has a million points of recklessness!

Chapter 18 A Life Without Eating Locusts Is Not Worth Living

"Yeah, there's nothing wrong anyway, just listen to what he has to say, it's not bad to be able to watch a show without spending money!"

"Tell me, Mr. Cheng, what can you do!"

At this time, Changsun Wuji saw this scene, snorted lightly, and said in a low voice.

"I really can't get on the stage. The notoriety has spread all over Chang'an City, and you can still speak freely here. How thick-skinned!"

But right now, Cheng Yu didn't have the time to talk to him.

He looked at the people and said slowly.

"The method of controlling locusts I mentioned today is very simple, just one word, eat!"

As soon as this remark came out, those common people were instantly blown up.

"Eat! Mr. Cheng, are you trying to kill us? Who doesn't know that these locusts are poisonous. If we eat them, we will all die!"

"That's right, I'll just call him a dude, what new tricks can he come up with! Still eating! I really shouldn't waste a few minutes of me here, let's go!"

With that said, some people were about to leave.

"Mr. Cheng! Are you treating the locusts or us? Did we all eat the locusts and die of poisoning? There is enough food! What are you doing!"

The common people made a pot of porridge in an instant!

"Everyone, calm down, this locust is poisonous, it's all nonsense, it's all rumors.

If it is poisonous, then His Majesty has eaten one raw just now, isn't it still standing here well!
I can now prove to everyone that this locust is not only edible, but also delicious! "

At this moment, several guards brought up a brazier and an oil pan, and then directly caught some locusts in the field and brought them to Cheng Yu's side.

Cheng Yu first washed the locusts with clean water, and then threw some of them directly into the oil pan and fried them.

The rest, just like in the morning on the court, was skewered on iron sticks and roasted on the brazier.

Those people who wanted to leave stopped when they saw such a big battle, wanting to see what would happen next.

At this moment, the charcoal-grilled locusts were ready and placed on the brazier.

At this time, the locusts fried in the oil pan had already begun to emit a fragrance, which was blown into the air by the wind and spread to the noses of every commoner.

"What does it smell like? It smells so good!"

"Yes, I have never smelled such a fragrant smell. My mouth is watering!"

"It can't be the smell emitted by the locusts. This thing looks so disgusting, but I didn't expect that it tastes so fragrant when cooked!"

Hearing everyone's questions, Cheng Yu got up and said.

"Everyone, yes, the smell you smell is caused by the locusts!

As I just said, this locust is not only non-toxic, but also very nutritious. Eating it is good for the human body. In addition, it tastes delicious and is a good side dish for dinner.

As the saying goes, a life without eating locusts is not worth living!

If there is something unhappy, then eating roasted locusts will be fine, if not..."

Speaking of this, Cheng Yu deliberately sold a trick.

The people were all staring at him at the moment, expecting what he would say next.

And Li Shimin couldn't help it.

"Cheng Yushi, if it doesn't work, then what, tell me quickly!"

"If it doesn't work, then eat twice!" Cheng Yu said, stretching out two fingers, making a two!

All the people present were amused by him, and Li Shimin also laughed.

Some of the ministers below also laughed secretly.

Even Wei Zheng couldn't hold back, smiled, and Changsun Wuji, who was standing beside him, cast his gaze over immediately.

Wei Zheng coughed quickly, covering up his smile.

"Hmph, boring and superficial, it's hard to be elegant!" Changsun Wuji commented.

At this moment, the fried locusts in the oil pan were ready, Cheng Yu walked over, picked them up with a colander, and put them in the bamboo basket that had been prepared earlier.

"Everyone, this fried locust is ready. Let me eat it on the spot and prove to everyone that it is really not poisonous!"

With that said, he picked up one, put it directly in his mouth, and chewed.

"Well, yes, the heat is just right, it's crispy, very sweet!" Cheng Yu said, and ate another one.

Seeing his actions, the common people swallowed unconsciously.

At this time, Cheng Yu said to the ministers.

"My lords, does anyone want to try this fried locust?"

Some of these ministers had already tasted the charcoal-grilled locusts in the court hall in the morning. They felt very delicious, and now they still have a feeling that they still have more to say.

At this moment, he was no longer reserved, and walked over directly.

Fang Xuanling: "Cheng Yushi, let me have a taste!"

Du Ruhui: "I'll try it too!"

"I'll try it too!"

In addition to the ministers who had already eaten in the morning, those adults who missed the delicacy for a while because of hesitation also came up one after another at this moment, actively tasting.

They didn't eat it in the morning, and they regretted it for a long time when they went back. This time, they must not miss the opportunity again!
Those ministers rushed forward, and the basket of locusts was almost divided in an instant.

Li Shimin was standing on the outside, looking inside, swallowing unconsciously.

At this time, Cheng Yu had already noticed him, wanting it but being embarrassed to do so.

He took one and walked forward and said.

"Your Majesty, let's try the deep-fried one, it tastes very different from the raw one!"

Li Shimin thought to himself, you people eat grilled and fried food, but when you come here, you will eat raw food, the emperor is not good at it.

So, no longer being polite and reserved, he picked one up and stuffed it into his mouth.

The moment he tasted the taste of fried locusts, Li Shimin instantly felt that his soul had been sublimated!

As the emperor of a country, the Supreme Ninety-Five, he has never tasted any delicacy, but the taste of this locust is different from all the things he has eaten before!

It's amazing how such a small thing can be so delicious!

"How is it, Your Majesty, the taste is not bad, am I talking nonsense!" Cheng Yu asked after seeing Li Shimin's expression.

"It's really good, Cheng Yu. After you go back, go to the imperial dining room and tell them how to make this locust. This dish must be on my table in the future!" Li Shimin said.

At this time, Cheng Yu looked at the ministers below. At this moment, except for Wei Zheng and Changsun Wuji, basically everyone has tasted the locust.
