Chapter 1073 Can You Eat It?

After Bai Kou shared the fun of auditing with others, he left him to have lunch in the cafeteria. There was still some time for the two sides to chat. After chatting, the other party mentioned a difficult matter that was worrying the court.

"Guangli County, Yongzhou. I don't know if Mr. Bai has heard of it. It is a place that is four or five days away from the capital by water and then a day or two by land."

"Hey, this is a hundred miles away from the capital, I really don't understand, what's wrong?"

"Guangli County has the largest pine forest around the capital. According to the latest news I got a few days ago, a large number of pupae were found in the pine forest."

"A large number? The point of disaster?"

"It's a disaster. Once the chrysalis breaks, the pine forest will be destroyed. Now the household department is worried."

"What are those pupae?"

"A moth that lays eggs in pine wood. The larva grows up in the wood core, then drills out of the tree trunk and falls to the ground and burrows into the soil to pupate. On the surface, the tree looks harmless, but in fact, the inside of the bark is rotten. Each hole has no value except as firewood."

"Since the chrysalis is found, doesn't it mean that the pine forest has already suffered a disaster?"

"Yes, and such a large number of pupae means that this pine forest will shrink a lot, and it will take five to seven years for it to be replanted and wait for it to mature."

"In addition to clearing useless trees, so many pupae must also be disposed of, otherwise the hatching will be even more fatal, and the entire pine forest may be destroyed."

"That's right! But with so many pupae, I really don't know what to do with them, so worry is here."

"Is that moth poisonous?"

"Ah? Poison? Doesn't seem to be there?"

"That is to say, chrysalis can be eaten?"

"Eat?! Boss Bai, don't scare me! Eating chrysalis? That's moth chrysalis! Do you want to eat it?!" The poor little official turned pale in an instant, sticking out his tongue and wanting to vomit.

"Help me get a heavy one and I'll do an experiment."

"Boss Bai!" The little official who thought that Bai Kou really wanted to eat the chrysalis stood up and stretched out two thumbs, "You really are a hero among women!"

"You need to act quickly. Now we don't know when the pupa will burst. It's inconvenient to travel between the two places. We have to race against time."

"Then I'll go back now! I'll go back now!" There was no time to think about the lunch in the cafeteria, and the other party walked away.

Bai Kou watched the guests off and scratched her head. The chrysalis is a good thing. It depends on which side wins, the humans and the moths. It would be bad if the moths won.

At about noon, Bai Kou's cook cooked the dishes and packed them in an insulated lunch box, handing them over to the coachman at home to send them to the Hanlin Academy. The two workshops are next to the moat, and walking straight along the river is convenient and fast. It happens to be in the Imperial Academy. The courtyard rushed to the gate during the lunch break, Gu Yun's servant was waiting outside the gate early, and when he saw someone coming, he took the burden with one hand and gave the driver a purse with the other, which was a month's meal money for someone, Let him go to the restaurant on the street to help himself, and make an appointment to come back to pick up the insulation tube.

The boy carried his bag and went directly to the canteen. Gu Yun was already waiting inside, and Gong Changji was sitting next to him. Their strange behavior first caught the attention of those buddies. They were going to eat in the street. Gu Yun was very upset and wanted to drive them away, but at this moment his servant came in.

"Here we come! Get a big bowl of rice!" Gong Changji commanded loudly while holding his chopsticks.

The handyman in the canteen immediately brought a bowl of rice and put it on a corner of the table. Not only the neighbors, but also people passing by stopped to watch. This scene looked like home delivery. What everyone was curious about was What a good dish.

The boy untied the furoshiki on the outside, and inside were three stacked insulation bowls. He opened the top cover, and a strong aroma of soy sauce floated out along with the heat. The three bowls were spread out, one bowl of duck, A bowl of fruit, and a bowl of white fungus, lotus seed and lily soup.

"Quick, quick, bring some more vegetables! That's all!" Gong Zhangji laughed.

The handyman hurriedly delivered several plates of vegetables, which filled the entire table at once, and the big bowl of rice had to be placed on the table next to it.

"What kind of duck is this? Made at home?" Gu Jing stretched out his chopsticks curiously, "When did you order it?"

"It's indeed made at home, by Bai Kou's." Gong Chang Jicai didn't care what kind of duck it was, he spotted a piece of duck meat with rich soup, and took it away with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

"Oh!!!" Not only those who sat on the table, but also those who watched the excitement immediately started booing.

"I don't know what kind of duck this is, just eat it." Gu Yun forcefully calmed down, and picked up one with his chopsticks, and when he bit into his mouth, he found that it wasn't duck meat, "Huh? It's taro? I misread it!"

"Master, Mr. Bai's driver said that this is stewed duck with taro. It is made of tender duck. It is fried first and then stewed. It takes a lot of work." Head and feet."

"Is there every day? Every day I have lunch here every day."

"Yeah, me too."

"Seconded!"

"What are you thinking about? A group of delicious ghosts! This is Gu Yun's diet dish, let us eat what he eats?" Gong Zhangji gnawed on half of a duck wing, and smiled vaguely.

Gu Yun didn't have time to talk at all, so he poured some duck meat and taro into the bowl first, otherwise it would be gone, how heavy can a tender duck be, how could it stand up to these people's constant chopsticks.

"Lose weight again? Can you lose weight?"

"It doesn't matter if you are thin or not, as long as you have this kind of food every day."

"That's right, dip in the light, dip in the light."

"Hey, tell Bai Kou, next time I'll use a big bowl to serve the vegetables, it won't be enough."

"You guys want to lose weight and go home and ask your wife for the menu! Don't steal from me!" Gu Yun was angrily laughed at by them, and wanted to protect the food with a flick of chopsticks.

The sons and brothers immediately stretched out their chopsticks together and grabbed the thermos bowl containing the duck aside.

"Be careful, don't overturn this white fungus soup!" Finally, someone felt sorry for the other two bowls of uneaten food on the table, dragged an empty table from the side, and put the fruit and white fungus soup aside temporarily.

"Yeah, I haven't eaten yet, don't drop Bai Kou's bowl."

"Bai Kou actually made white fungus soup for Mingzhi to eat, it's very expensive."

"Is there anything expensive, grown in a fungus house, you can eat it when you go home, Bai Kou should be sent to your home in a few days, shareholder welfare." Gu Yun finally had the opportunity to drop a big news, and looked at it proudly. looking at their stunned faces.

"What?!"

"Planted?"

"The bacteria room on our farm is finally producing?"

"My god! Can Tremella grow?"

"As long as it is a fungus, if you find the right method, you can grow it." Gong Changji poked a piece of taro from the bottom of the bowl with a calm face and chewed it relish.

"The first batch of fungi that were successfully grown in the bacteria room were not many, and they were all distributed to our shareholders. I don't know when the second batch will be planted, but there should be new products on the market before the end of the year."

"Wow! This white fungus is actually planted?!"

Before Gu Yun and his buddies had any reaction, the onlookers jumped out impatiently, and they all heard it.
