Wanxi first showed the emperor the grasshoppers strung together by branches.

"This is the recipe for the first grasshopper I ate when I was a child. It is the simplest, and the ingredients are available anywhere, but the taste is the freshest."

When I was young, in the late summer and early autumn, even when there was no locust plague, it was inevitable that there would be some grasshoppers jumping around in the fields.The children were captured alive, took off their wings, and strung them on the branches. They dug a pit on the field furrow on the spot, gathered a pile of work in the pit, and used thicker straw and branch frames for the fire. Then, put these grasshopper skewers on the fire and roast them.

At first, the situation was a bit tragic, and it was quite unbearable to see the beard and thin legs burnt by the fire seed licking the alive and kicking insect just now.

She was there when she was a child, so she hid aside, unable to bear to watch.

But after a while, the fragrance gradually rose.She was pulled over by Wu Niu and the others—the previous miserable situation had changed a long time ago, the grasshopper was roasted to produce oil, and the place licked by the flames gradually turned yellow and crumbled, and then accompanied by the grasshopper that went straight to the nose The scent drilled in it made people swallow their saliva unconsciously.

Wanxi handed a bunch of grasshoppers to the emperor, "Your Majesty, taste it. It tastes best just after it's roasted, and the meat won't be as sweet after a while when it's cold."
.
The emperor couldn't help being fascinated when he heard Wanxi talk about the life of those peasant families.

In addition, there were only three grasshoppers on the skewer at this moment, which was more acceptable than the densely packed grasshoppers on the plate, so the emperor chewed it.

The sweetness in the mouth is not at all like the hateful locusts when they were alive.There is a crispy shell on the meat, it is crispy and crunchy when you bite into it, it is really delicious.

Wanxi laughed too, resting her chin with both hands, staring at the emperor with twinkling eyes and asked, "Is the slave not fooling the Lord? It's delicious, isn't it?"
.
Next, Wanxi introduced to the emperor fried grasshoppers, salt and pepper grasshoppers, chopped green onion and soy sauce grasshoppers, and fried grasshoppers with pumpkin...

There are all kinds of things, although they are all made of grasshoppers, but the taste is really different.The emperor shook his head and sighed, but couldn't help but not eat.

Seeing that the emperor has accepted the grasshopper little by little, Wan Xifang lowered her eyes in a calm manner, not looking at the emperor's eyes, but only at the grasshopper in front of her, "...the slaves make their own decisions, and give them to the empress dowager and the sisters in the palace. , the prince and princess, and the clan Jueluo also sent some grasshoppers to each other."

As expected, the emperor was taken aback, with a grasshopper's head in his mouth, staring at Wanxi for a while.

"...The empress dowager also gave it to you?"

The emperor does not worry about others, only the empress dowager.He is a 40-year-old man. Seeing this plate full of densely packed grasshoppers, he didn't dare to eat for a while. After all, the empress dowager is old, and she eats insects directly like this. Do what you did.

If the empress dowager is unhappy, isn't it another disaster for Jiu'er?

Without raising her eyes to look at the emperor, Wanxi felt that the atmosphere suddenly became serious.

She burst out laughing, "don't worry, my slave won't be so stupid! The slave is specially serving the emperor to eat the whole head and tail of the grasshopper, but it's a painstaking effort to feed the empress dowager. The quasi-baby is called the emperor." The queen mother didn't know what she was eating, she just called it delicious!"
.
The empress dowager is in the palace, and the empress dowager is also eating.

Because Concubine Shu was serving by the side, there was no eunuch serving the meal. Concubine Shu stood on the ground by herself and went around the dining table to serve the Empress Dowager herself.
