Datang unsigned for six years, only to know that it is Journey to the West

Chapter 8 Locusts are not a natural disaster but a gift from God【Please recommend for collection】

The female officer was a little shocked.

The queen calmed down instead, and said, "How does the Taoist priest know the identity of this palace?"

Su Chen said with a smile: "The last time Princess Changle came, there was no such a big battle as the empress."

Empress Changsun was taken aback for a moment, then laughed.

She felt that the Taoist priest in front of her had some real skills.

Then he sat upright and said: "Since the Taoist master knows the identity of this palace, he should know what this palace is asking for this time, and there is no room for loss."

Su Chen said calmly, "Don't worry, Madam, nothing will happen."

The queen said: "Although the Taoist priest has intentions, this is a natural disaster. If it cannot be resolved, please don't spread the news about the signing of the lottery. I am worried that it will affect the hearts of the people."

Su Chen said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the signing will definitely resolve it."

The queen immediately said seriously: "This is a major event in the world, please enlighten me."

Added: "If you really want to eat something to save the common people in the world, I will not hesitate to do so."

She didn't rush to agree for Li Shimin, but she didn't care.

Su Chen restrained his smile, and said seriously: "This time, what the empress is asking for is a good harvest in autumn, but she signed a lot. There is only one reason for the lottery, which is the raging locust plague."

The queen nodded.

It can be regarded as approval of Su Chen's judgment.

Subsequently.

Su Chen continued: "If you want to resolve it, then start with solving the locust plague."

The queen said: "This is a natural disaster, how should it be resolved?"

Su Chen said: "Although locusts harm crops, they are actually a rare delicacy."

The queen was dumbfounded.

The female officer was also stunned.

Locusts, delicious?
They have no way to associate that ugly thing that harms the crops with delicious food.

Su Chen continued to explain: "Locusts are rich in nutrients and have firm meat, just like chicken. Eating them will not only cause no problems to the body, but will even make the body stronger."

The female officer imagined it next to her, and almost vomited.

The queen also frowned, and she couldn't help it.

I thought that what Su Chen proposed was a good solution, but it turned out to be to let the locusts be eaten, and that thing can really eat like this! ?

The queen said: "Master Daoist, locusts are poisonous."

Su Chen laughed. The ancients believed that locusts were poisonous, but in fact they lacked knowledge.Modern people think that locusts are poisonous and should be sprayed with medicine.

In fact, he has checked in the past few days, and the locusts in this world are not poisonous, and even have a weak aura in their bodies.

It's completely edible, but it just looks disgusting, so he doesn't eat it.

Or this is the difference between the historical Tang and the Gaowu Tang, this is not pure history after all!

but.

Su Chen knew that it was not easy to change people's ideas, so he resorted to a big weapon.

He smiled and said, "Does your mother know why I know these things?"

The queen asked quickly: "How do you know?"

Su Chen shook the bamboo stick in his hand and said with a smile, "It's all in the stick."

"When I looked inside the bamboo stick, I got guidance from the heavens, and then I realized that locusts are not a natural disaster, but a gift from God. If you eat to strengthen your body, that is not a gift from God, what is it!?"

The Queen's eyes widened, half-doubting.

The female officer was dumbfounded.

Su Chen got up, went to the back mountain, and picked up a basket of locusts.

And set up a boiler, and there was no oil and water in the temple, so he poured the sesame oil brought by the queen into the pot and raised the fire to fry the locusts!

Crackling!

The locusts quickly turned golden yellow in the oil pan, and gave off bursts of meaty aroma.

The fragrance was so tangy that the queen's eyes were straightened.

The world is poor, and she and Li Shimin only eat two meals a day in the palace, setting an example for all officials.

At this time, I was also a little hungry.

When asked about the fragrance, the mouth responds.

After the locusts were fried, Su Chen fished them out, sprinkled some salt, put them on a plate and handed them to the queen.

"Eat."

The queen's eyes are bright, but she still doesn't believe it, this thing is edible!

The female official didn't believe it either, but she didn't dare to let the queen take risks, so she recommended herself.

"I'll eat first."

Picking up a locust, enduring nausea, throwing it into his mouth, he was about to swallow it by force.

But Su Chen said: "Chew slowly, the aftertaste will be endless."

The female officer bit the bullet and chewed for a while, her complexion changed immediately, her frowning brows parted, her face was full of doubts, followed by surprise.

She chewed quickly, then swallowed.

Seeing this, the queen quickly asked, "How does it taste?"

The female officer picked up several locusts one after another and stuffed them into her mouth, chewed them again, and after swallowing them all, she couldn't help shedding tears!

Seeing this, the queen became even more anxious, "What's going on?"

The female officer clasped her fists and said, "Congratulations, ma'am, this thing is really a gift from God, it tastes like chicken!"

"After eating, there is nothing wrong with it!!"

When the queen heard this, she couldn't bear it any longer, and quickly picked up one, and stuffed it into her mouth impatiently.

After chewing it carefully a few times and swallowing it, she couldn't help crying.

"It's delicious, this is really a gift from God, it's really delicious." Empress Changsun couldn't help crying, the thing that almost brought down Datang in the past few days turned out to be a gift from God.

It took her a while to get her mood together.

After eating two more locusts, Empress Changsun already had great trust in Su Chen. She was able to turn natural disasters into godsends and turn locusts into treasures. This is a god-man.

"Prince Wugou, I have taught you something today. This palace will remember it in my heart, and all people in the world will also remember it in my heart." Empress Changsun gave a solemn and serious gift.

Su Chen laughed and said: "This is a secret, and I am just acting according to the secret."

The queen nodded again and again, only thinking that Su Chen really has magical powers, he can pinch and count, and he can also communicate with the gods to save Datang from a crisis!
The female officer next to her was also full of admiration for Su Chen, but she was still a little puzzled when she saw the queen and planned to leave.

"Daoist, since the locusts are a gift from heaven, it's just for the people to eat them. Why did you let the empress, your majesty, and the crown prince eat them in the first place?"

Su Chen smiled without saying a word.

The queen is a smart person. Once she knew that locusts could be eaten, she already knew what to do, and understood what Su Chen meant.

She smiled and explained for Su Chen: "Because we set an example for the family of heaven, all officials and people in the world will follow. Otherwise, who would believe that natural disasters are a gift from heaven?"

The female officer understood immediately, and she respected Su Chen even more.

Respectfully saluted, "The Taoist not only predicts things like a god, but also behaves in the world, which makes the little girl admire."

The queen also nodded, Su Chen was able to get instructions from the heavens, saying that natural disasters are a gift from heaven, this is a supernatural power.

but.

To be able to let her and the emperor eat locusts is far-sighted!

The queen got the solution and couldn't wait to go back to solve it. She hurriedly thanked her a thousand times and took her away with her.

When they went down the mountain, Su Chen had obtained 200 years of skill.

hum!
The power in his body is as deep as the sea, counting the harvest in the past few days, Su Chen already has 800 years of power in his body at this time!

With 800 years of skill, Su Chen can no longer rely on the iron sword, but only with his fingers like a sword, he can use the Taishang Wangqing swordsmanship!

With a wave of his hand, the sword qi crisscrossed, and the ancient trees hundreds of meters away were chopped off in half.

Su Chen smiled and patted his stomach again, "I'm just hungry."

He passed the remaining fried locusts, stared directly at the three animals and six animals on the desk, and then began to feast on them.

at the foot of the mountain.

After Empress Changsun came down the mountain, she immediately instructed the female officer beside her, "Wan'er, Taoist Priest Wugou is still very young, but with such methods, I am afraid that he will be plotted against after he becomes famous."

"From now on, you must send people to guard the Dragon Transformation Temple in Yunyuan Mountain, and secretly protect Taoist Priest Wugou."

She sighed, "It is my great fortune to be so talented, and there is absolutely no room for loss."

The female officer Wan'er cupped her fists to accept the order, "Your Majesty, don't worry, Wan'er will risk her life and won't let the Taoist priest suffer any harm."

Empress Changsun nodded, "You are the master, I believe you can protect him well."

at this time.

A guard commander stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I found a piece of farmland in the backyard of Hualong Temple."

The queen said: "The Taoist priest is self-sufficient and opens up farmland. He is a role model. What's wrong?"

The commander of the guards took out a rice ear, handed it up, and said, "Your Majesty, please look, the grains in this ear of rice are full, dozens of times more than ordinary ears of rice, and each grain of rice is enough. .”

He said solemnly: "The most terrifying thing is that these rice grains contain weak spiritual power!"

hiss!
Empress Changsun was stunned, "How is the yield per mu in the farmland?"

The guard commander said: "The yield per mu is at least [-] catties! The last general also has fertile land in his family. With careful care, the yield per mu is only [-] catties, and the farmland that is close to it is about [-] catties."

When the female officer and others heard this, they were astonished.

God, this is the god rice!

The female officer suggested: "Your Majesty, do you want to go back and ask the Taoist priest immediately?"

Empress Changsun said anxiously: "Don't be rude, go back to the palace and report this matter to Erlang!"

　To explain, modern people think that locusts are poisonous, but it is actually because of the modern spraying and the mutation that has gone through thousands of years.

　　I have read local chronicles, and there were places where locusts were caught and eaten in ancient times. It is also recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica. It can be used for medicine and eaten, and there is nothing wrong with it.
