The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Liu Niang was cleaning up the ingredients in the kitchen and preparing lunch. Knowing that her husband was picky about food, when she was researching new dishes, she did not serve the dishes to him without trying them herself, as she did last time.

Mainly because she felt that her husband's taste was a little different from others.

After all, no one would think of eating large intestines and those offal.

No one had ever known that those things had to be processed in this way and in this way before they could be eaten.

Liu Niang sometimes wondered what the first person who ate these things was thinking and what kind of situation he was in.

And how did he find out that it was only delicious after being processed in this way and that way.

The key is, how come her husband knows a lot.

He knows a lot.

Therefore, Liu Niang felt that her husband's taste might be a little different from that of ordinary people. What if her husband likes the new dishes that ordinary people think are not delicious?

So, she tried it like this last time.

But it turns out that my husband's taste is still normal most of the time.

"Liu Niang!" Li Fu entered the yard and shouted loudly.

"Hey! My husband, I'm here." Liu Niang stood up and wiped her hands wet by the water on her apron.

"Liu Niang, I found some new ingredients for you." Li Fu said with a smile on his face, looking at Liu Niang.

"New ingredients?" Liu Niang was puzzled.

What strange things are there again?

The servant following Li Fu listened to what his husband said and looked down at the cloth bag in his hand.

New ingredients?

What is my husband talking about?

Am I hallucinating?

I dreamed of a grown-up girl last night. Could it be that my body can't stand it? Is there something wrong with my ears?

"There are a lot of locusts outside recently. There will be a locust plague. His Majesty will offer sacrifices to the locust god tomorrow." Li Fu said, "There are so many locusts. Let's try to catch them."

When Liu Niang heard what her husband said, her eyes widened and she even stopped wiping her hands.

It took a long time for her to react.

"My husband, what did you say just now?" Liu Niang asked, "It seemed that the wind was a bit strong just now, and the sun was a bit dazzling. I didn't hear it clearly."

Li Fu looked up at the sun.

It's pretty good. Is it dazzling?

Is it windy? Where does the wind come from in the yard?

What a good weather.

"So, I asked someone to go out of the city and catch some locusts. Look, they are all here." Li Fu pointed to the cloth bag held by the servant behind him.

It was visible to the naked eye that the locusts in the cloth bag would move, and the bag would move with the kick.

"My husband, isn't our family quite rich?" Liu Niang asked coldly.

"Yes." Li Fu said, "There is enough money to spend."

"Then why do you do this?" Liu Niang turned and said earnestly, "Although we didn't live well when you were a child, we still had food to eat three times a day. You ate soup noodles, millet, etc. No matter how poor we were, we were never poorer than the food you eat."

"Oh, of course I know that." Li Fu said, "Oh, you think that locusts are not edible, right?"

"Can it... be eaten?" Liu Niang's expression was hard to describe.

The way she looked at her husband made her wonder if she was sick or if her husband was sick in the head.

"So it's a new ingredient, we have to try it." Li Fu smiled and said, "When the locust plague comes, the crops in the fields will be in trouble. The people rely on the crops for food. The crops are eaten by locusts, and the farmers have nothing to eat.

If people have no food to eat, they will eat anything to survive, such as tree bark, grass roots, and Guanyin soil.

If they eat all this, can't locusts be eaten?"

"Although this thing is small, it is also meat." Li Fu said, "Isn't it better than Guanyin soil? How many people have died from eating Guanyin soil?

At least this thing, I think, will not kill people, so I have the idea to try it."

Li Fu explained to Liu Niang.

Liu Niang listened carefully, and her eyes and facial expressions changed a lot as she listened.

It turned out that her husband thought so.

It's for the benefit of the farmers who are suffering outside...

Although the starting point of the idea is good, I always feel...

"Then I'll give it a try?" Liu Niang's attitude is still skeptical, and her tone is full of uncertainty.

"Try it." Li Fu said seriously: "If the attempt is successful, Liu Niang, you will have done a great deed! In this way, Tiezhu is not young anymore, and it is useless to go to class. I will introduce Tiezhu to Dr. Lu, let Tiezhu worship Dr. Lu as his teacher, and let him serve Dr. Lu."When Lady Liu heard this, her eyes sparkled with excitement. She was so happy! Dr. Lu! Dr. Lu Deming! Even though she was just a cook in the kitchen, she had heard of Dr. Lu's name and heard that he was a great scholar! A doctor from the Imperial College! In the Imperial College, all the students were from the noble families! If her son could worship under Dr. Lu and become his disciple, then even if she died now, she would have no regrets! "I will do my best!!! "Liu Niang's eyes were firm, her face was full of joy, and she agreed with a sincere and serious look.

This job! I have to take it!

It's worth it!!! It's too worth it!!!

The servant handed the cloth bag to Liu Niang. After Liu Niang took it, she drew a bucket of water and soaked the whole cloth bag in the water.

When Li Fu saw her operation, he knew that she wanted to kill these living locusts first. It would be better to drown them all at once than to kill them one by one.

Drowned?

In Li Fu's mind, a light flashed, but it soon disappeared.

To kill the locusts, As long as there is water and no drought, there will be no locust plague.

After a long while, seeing that the locusts in the cloth bag had stopped moving, Liu Niang fished them out completely, took a large wooden basin, changed the water, and poured all the locusts in the cloth bag into it.

But how to deal with these locusts, Liu Niang was in trouble.

She sat on a small stool and thought.

She had dealt with chickens, ducks and fish before, but she really had no experience with insects.

She had been cooking for so many years, but she had never done this.

"Pull off the head and you can pull out its internal organs." Li Fu said: "Try it, chickens, ducks and fish need to remove the internal organs, this thing should also be removed."

Although Li Fu knew that it was okay not to pull off the head of this thing, but now it was the first time to deal with this thing, or it would be better to do it more carefully.

Liu Niang suddenly realized, right, right.

After understanding, she began to deal with it.
