Chapter 280 Lobster
"Are you trying to piss off your grandfather? What else can I do? What else can I do about what you, a stinky boy, have decided?"

The old hall master immediately covered his chest and pretended to be so angry that he was about to faint, with his eyes rolling back.

Emperor Qinglong looked at the old palace master's face, which changed faster than turning the pages of a book, and felt amused in his heart. He said, as long as he met Lin Qiuyue, how could he not agree.

This old guy is still the same, a chameleon.

Lin Qiuyue was standing aside, looking at the grandparents and grandchildren calmly. The younger one was mature, and the older one was naughty.

The old palace master didn't look that annoying, he just didn't like her identity.

Indeed, how could a country girl be a match for the Son of God of the temple?

If it were her, she would also be disgusted.

But this doesn't mean that she can forgive the old man.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has urgent news."

At this moment, an urgent cry was heard outside.

The Azure Dragon Emperor's expression changed, and he immediately said, "Come in."

Immediately, a man in his forties, dressed in official uniform, hurried in. He knelt on both knees and saluted: "Your humble servant greets the emperor."

"Get up quickly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The official stood up and held a memorial in both hands and gave it to the Qinglong Emperor.

The Azure Dragon Emperor took the memorial and read it.

After reading it, his face changed drastically.

He asked angrily: "What's going on? Didn't they say that this kind of black beetle had been eliminated before? Why is it rampant now?

Moreover, the rice that was almost ripe has been destroyed. How could the people below do things? Why did they report it to me only when the situation was so serious?"

The official was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know. I haven't received any memorials from you before. This was just reported urgently. After I received it, I sent it to Your Majesty."

The Azure Dragon Emperor's eyes darkened: "So how are you dealing with it now?"

The official said tremblingly: “I don’t know, this kind of black beetle reproduces very quickly and is difficult to eliminate.

Now the Jiangnan area has been flooded, and it is estimated that the harvest in Jiangnan will be a total failure."

"Snapped!"

The Azure Dragon Emperor threw the memorial heavily to the ground, pointed at the official, his face livid with anger: "Why do I keep a bunch of good-for-nothings like you? Can't you think of a better way? We can't eliminate them completely, but at least we should stop the disaster.

The Jiangnan area is so vast. If there is no harvest, will all the people come to the imperial capital?"

The Azure Dragon Emperor was so angry that he could hardly stand. Seeing this, Lin Qiuyue quickly helped him sit down and poured him a glass of water.

Lin Qiuyue secretly added some spiritual spring water into the cup before giving it to Qinglong Emperor to drink.

After Qinglong Huang drank the water, the anger that had rushed to his forehead dissipated and his mind became clear again.

He looked at the official trembling with fear on the ground and pursed his lips.

At this time, Lin Qiuyue picked up the letter and looked at it.

Xiao Mufeng wanted to stop her, but when he saw that the Azure Dragon Emperor did not react, he did not speak.

The old palace master also pulled Xiao Mufeng aside to sit and wait. It was not convenient for them to interfere in the state affairs of Qinglong Kingdom.

Just wait.

Besides, they have no other choice.

When Lin Qiuyue saw the black beetle mentioned in the commentary, one thing immediately came to her mind: crayfish.

The destructive power of crayfish is just as described in the memorial. They dig holes in the fields, harm crops, and reproduce very quickly, making them difficult to eradicate.

In the previous life, in the country of China on the blue planet, more than one billion people managed to avoid eating crayfish to extinction. Moreover, the people here didn’t even know that crayfish were edible, so how could they become extinct? Their reproduction speed can be said to be amazing.

But they didn't know that this black beetle, which they regarded as a terrifying creature, was actually a very good delicacy. So Lin Qiuyue saw a lot of silver thrown at her again.

She quickly said to the Azure Dragon Emperor: "Grandfather, I have a way to destroy this thing."

"Oh? What's the solution? Yue'er, tell me quickly."

The Azure Dragon Emperor was delighted and looked at Lin Qiuyue eagerly, waiting for her next words.

Lin Qiuyue smiled with her eyebrows curved: "Grandfather, please have someone capture these black beetles alive, and then transport them all to the imperial capital. Your granddaughter will naturally have a way to destroy them."

"This? Yue'er wants to poison this black beetle to death?"

Lin Qiuyue waved her hand: "No, I ate it."

"Eat it? Yue'er, you are kidding, right? How can you eat this black beetle with its hard shell?"

The Azure Dragon Emperor shook his head. What kind of method was this? How was it different from having no method at all? He immediately shook his head in denial.

Even the official on the ground was disappointed, as he thought Lin Qiuyue had some good idea.

Yes, if a peasant girl from a lower country could come up with some good ideas and say she knew how to farm, he might believe her.

"Grandfather, are there any black beetles in the imperial capital?"

Lin Qiuyue knew that they didn't believe it, so she asked them that as long as she had the real thing, she would make it for them to taste, and they would definitely believe it.

The Qinglong Emperor asked the official, "Fang Zheng, is there any in the imperial capital?"

Fang Zheng nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, some time ago, local officials sent it to the imperial capital to let us see what it is.

There was no place to put the black beetle, so I put it in the pond at my home. Now the whole pond is full of it."

"Then go get a bucket."

Then the Azure Dragon Emperor asked Lin Qiuyue: "Yue'er, is one bucket enough?"

"Just catch as much as you can. I will prepare a feast of black beetles for you tonight."

Qinglong Emperor: "Okay, then Grandfather will wait."

Then the Azure Dragon Emperor asked Fang Zheng to go back and quickly retrieve the black beetle.

Since they were going to prepare a lobster dinner for them, after lunch, Lin Qiuyue followed the eunuch Xiao Anzi to the imperial kitchen to prepare the ingredients for dinner.

After Fang Zheng left the palace, he rushed back home, called the servants to go downstairs, scooped up several large buckets of lobsters from the pond, and then hurriedly delivered them to the palace.

Emperor Qinglong asked them to deliver it directly to the imperial kitchen and give it to Lin Qiuyue.

When Lin Qiuyue saw those big buckets of lobsters, her eyes lit up. It was indeed this thing.

"Miss Qiuyue, can I watch you from here?"

Fang Zheng really wanted to see how Lin Qiuyue would make this dreaded black beetle into something delicious.

If this thing could be eaten, the problem would be solved.

The Qinglong Kingdom has a large population, and if each person eats a few, they will be finished. If they can eat them to extinction, the people will no longer be afraid of this thing.

And he also made great contributions.

Lin Qiuyue nodded: "Yes, Master Fang can still help."

"Okay, please give your instructions, Miss Qiuyue."

"Ah."

So Lin Qiuyue immediately ordered the imperial chefs, Fang Zheng, and even Xiao Anzi to come up.

First ask them to find a few large basins and fill them with water.

Then Lin Qiuyue said, "Put some oil and salt in it, and the sand in the black beetle's stomach will be vomited out."

The imperial chefs in the imperial kitchen all knew Lin Qiuyue's identity and dared not disobey her, so they just did as she said.
