The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"Don't worry, Your Highness, we know all about it." Jiang Que said, "It will take no more than half a month to kill the locusts. After that, there will be more aftermath issues that we need to deal with. That's when it will be really hard."

Li Fu smiled and nodded.

"Everything is for the livelihood of the people. Even if it's hard, we have to endure it. After this period of time, everyone will be able to relax for a while."

Li Fu began to paint a rosy picture for everyone.

After the project is over, you will be given a holiday...

In general, the people within Li Fu's fiefdom, under Li Fu's policy of giving a sweet date with a slap, the locust killing was carried out smoothly. There is no need to mention the fact that His Majesty Li II ate locusts on the city wall in front of the people.

This side is relatively simple and rough.

Be obedient and you will have food to eat.

If you don't listen, there will be no crops, no food to eat, and you will starve. The master will not care, and will revoke the welfare policy originally given to you. If there are children studying in the school, they will be expelled.

"If you don't do it for yourself, you should also think about your children, right? 》

《The most important thing is that the children study smoothly》

《You have been like this for your whole life, do you still want your children to be like you?》

Handle it!

After the meeting, Li Fu asked Li Chengqian to find Tiezhu.

Tiezhu had to choose an auspicious day to become a disciple. It was not that he had decided on this matter yesterday and went to visit Lu Deming with gifts today.

The most important thing for a disciple of a great scholar is to know etiquette.

Forget about the children. Anyway, with the guards, Li Chengqian will not have any problems.

As for Li Fu, he summoned Wu Liangye and others to patrol the fiefdom on horseback.

See if the people are working seriously, whether they are enthusiastic about killing locusts, and whether there are any problems with their work ideas.

Moreover, as the master of the village, the more at this time, the more you have to show up and go to the grassroots level to support the people and be a spiritual pillar.

You can not work, but you can not help but encourage them spiritually.

Li Fu is the backbone of the entire fiefdom. His appearance has a different meaning.

At noon, Li Chengqian and Tiezhu came to the school on the farm with food boxes.

After waiting in the yard for a while, the students were finished.

"Chengqian? You are here!"

The students recognized Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "I am here to visit my relatives again."

"Tiezhu? When did you come back from Chang'an?"

Most of them were children on the farm. They grew up with Tiezhu and naturally recognized Tiezhu.

"I just came back to the farm with my mother two days ago." Tiezhu smiled.

"Come and see first, I brought you delicious food." Li Chengqian came to the pavilion with a smile on his face and put the food box on the stone table in the pavilion.

"What delicious food?"

When the children heard that there was delicious food, they became interested and gathered around Li Chengqian and Tiezhu.

Li Chengqian opened the food box and took out a plate from it.

"Locusts." Li Chengqian looked calm, with a sly smile in his eyes: "Delicious."

"Oh my God, Chengqian, are you kidding? The field is full of this stuff now, you say it's delicious?"

"Yes." Li Chengqian laughed: "It's delicious."

"Chengqian, you are teasing us."

"Not at all, if you don't believe me, I'll eat it for you to see." Li Chengqian said, reaching out to take a locust, stuffing it into his mouth, eating it very fragrant.

"Look, I ate it, this proves that I didn't fool you, right?" Li Chengqian laughed: "It's really delicious."

When everyone saw Li Chengqian eating locusts, their eyes were a little horrified.

They played with the locusts in the field, from childhood to adulthood, for so many years, and they didn't think it was something edible.

Seeing this, Tiezhu smiled and said, "It's really edible. Don't look at this thing's ugly appearance, but it tastes delicious. This is made by my mother herself."

Tiezhu also took a locust from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Try it?" Li Chengqian's eyes swept over the crowd.

The expressions on everyone's faces were hard to describe.

"Why, you don't dare." Li Chengqian asked with a smile: "I thought you were quite brave for going up the mountains and down the rivers without telling your family members... This little bug scared you so much?"

Li Chengqian's tone was full of teasing.

"I grew up with them. I think they are really scared in this matter. Forget it, Chengqian, let's just leave it at that."

Tiezhu's words were like a heavy hammer, hammering directly on the little boy's self-esteem.

"Who, who said I don't dare, I just, I haven't seen it before"I've eaten it before." A little boy said with his neck stiff.

He saw that Li Chengqian and Tiezhu really ate it, so he didn't want to admit that he was a coward.

"Then do you dare to eat it?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Why not? It's just a bug. It's a piece of meat when it's cooked." The little boy said.

"Then you come and start your performance." Li Chengqian pointed to the locusts on the plate: "First come, first served. If you really find it delicious, it will be gone if you are late. "

The boy was struck by Li Chengqian's words and reached out to grab a fried locust.

Looking at the locust in his hand, his eyes were complicated at first, then firm, and finally, he looked determined.

He Li Chengqian can eat it, Tiezhu can eat it, why can't he eat it?

Am I less courageous than them?

Not at all!

I will never be a coward!!!

Put it in his mouth and chew it randomly.

Result...

Oh my god, it smells so good!!!

Clumsy chewing turned into careful tasting.

After swallowing it, he didn't forget to say it.

"Look, I ate it." The boy said, and then grabbed another one and put it in his mouth.

It's really delicious!

"Well, not bad, quite impressive, you can overcome psychological difficulties. "Li Chengqian also followed his words and praised.

Now, the boys around couldn't stand it.

Some were eager to try, some were still waiting, and some still couldn't get over the hurdle in their hearts.

Another boy stood up and ate the locusts.

"Delicious!" After he finished eating, he also expressed his feelings: "If you don't eat it, I won't be polite."

The family doesn't eat meat for many times a year. For them, locusts are a meat dish with a lot of oil.

It's a waste not to eat it.

Tiezhu also opened the food box he brought, took out two plates of fried locusts, and put them on the stone table.

More and more children dared to try to eat locusts, and Li Chengqian's smile became wider and wider.

Okay, eat it, you will know that this is a good thing after eating it.
