Chapter 1075 How to Eat Pupa

"I went to the palace in the morning because of this. The Minister of the Ministry of Finance, Mr. Qiu, was already discussing the disaster relief with the saint, but someone from outside came to report, saying that someone from the Ministry of Accounts had received a suggestion from Bai Kou, and she was too frightened by her." Then we were chatting, the head chef brought a large plate of fresh mushrooms, the sage was so happy, he agreed to try Bai Kou’s suggestion, anyway, it’s already so bad, it’s okay to try, no matter how bad it is, it can still be bad Where are you going?"

"What suggestion did Bai Kou come up with?" Gu Yun, who was familiar with Bai Kou's sometimes misguided thoughts, suddenly sank a huge stone in his heart, making his chest feel heavy.

"It is said that when she learned of such a plague of insects, the first question she asked was whether the pupae were poisonous?"

"..."

The young people were silent for a moment, and looked at Gu Yun together with sympathy.

"Does this sound like she'd love to try it as long as it's not poisonous?"

"Bai Kou is worthy of being a hero among girls, I admire him!"

"It's an ancestral cook after all, the first reaction is to ask if it's poisonous?!"

"If it's not poisonous, she probably wants to have a table of frying and frying?"

"I can't imagine!"

"Stop talking, I just ate duck and I don't want to spit it out!"

"Stop!" Gu Yun took a deep breath, "Aren't they just pupae, and I don't know if Bai Kou really wants to eat a few, so she just asked, can you restrain your imagination a little?"

"If an ordinary person asked such a question, it would be a joke. Bai Kou would always feel hairy if she asked such a question!"

"If she really made a plate, you can eat it yourself, and you don't need to call us!"

"Master Liu, look at this group of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, don't call them any good errands in the future!" Gu Yun despised his brothers, and immediately recruited Master Liu Qing to be his ally.

"Hehehehe, good, good." Liu Qing picked up the bowl and drank the last drop of soup, took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, "Bai Kou suggested to get her an experiment, although she feels like her I want to taste it, but what she said is right. Now it is a race against time. Those chrysalis will break their shells at any time. If you don't take risks, once the adults come out, the entire pine forest may be destroyed. In the center of the mountain forest there is Many hundred-year-old trees, it’s a pity to destroy them.”

"So the sage allowed her to do the experiment? But the capital city and Guangli County are so far apart, so time is wasted traveling back and forth."

"Well, so this time, using the relay relay of carrier pigeons from various post stations, you can reach the Guangli County Government in two days, and you don't need to go deep into the mountains to find pupae. You can just dig at the foot of the mountain. As long as you move quickly , the county can send out the pupa on the same day it receives the news.”

"Well, that's not bad. Although Bai Kou occasionally speaks out loud, she is still very serious about serious matters." Gu Yun said this based on his own understanding of Bai Kou.

"I still think Bai Kou asked if it was poisonous because she wanted to eat it. If it wasn't her, someone must have eaten it." Bai Kou's most famous skill is cooking, and Gong Changji felt that the so-called experiment must be related to cooking.

Everyone's gazes involuntarily turned to Gu Yun again, and they expressed their intention of not getting involved with each other with their eyes, and even Mr. Liu felt sympathy for Gu Yun.

Gu Yun was extremely speechless, and stared at Gong Changji without hesitation, not one of the three major shareholders of the farm ran away, but at the same time he secretly touched his stomach, praying that Bai Kou didn't intend to use people for experiments.

Master Liu chuckled, patted Gu Yun on the shoulder, got up and left, he just came to see these young people like Gu Yun after he got the news from the sage, these young men are quite interesting, the future of Guochao will definitely be The future is bright.

Watching Mr. Liu leave, Gu Yun and the others were wondering what Bai Kou wanted to do with this idea, and at the same time divided up the remaining white fungus soup and fruit. Gu Yun's servant took it out and returned it to Bai Kou's driver.

During the time they were talking with Mr. Liu, other colleagues had already publicized the artificial cultivation of white fungus. Wild white fungus was so expensive that few people in the Hanlin had tasted it. Suddenly they heard such news and were attracted A lot of people came to Gu Yun and the others to inquire about the details. Some people also knew about Bai Kou's desire for pupae. Everyone's first reaction was whether Bai Kou wanted to taste what it was like...

Gu Yun carelessly announced that this time he started to lose weight again, it's nothing serious to ask him to go out to participate in the drinking party, he must eat regularly, and it is forbidden to eat and drink too much.

The colleagues all laughed. Gu Yun has repeatedly lost weight several times. At most, he will lose weight for a few days and then he will gain back. Fan's colleagues were a little anxious, but most of them just laughed it off, so let's guess how long Gu Yun can last this time.

The imperial court’s carrier pigeons were released in the afternoon, and after passing several relay stations, they arrived at a post station in Guangli County the next evening. I went to the foot of the mountain and dug a basket of pupae, affixed a seal and drove to the pier. At the same time, the post station sent pigeons to the capital to reply to the news.

As soon as Bai Kou received the news, he immediately made preparations, bought a lot of live hens, ducks and chicks to raise in the kitchen yard of the factory, found an old pot and an old stone mill, and a broken knife .

As soon as the pupa deliverers arrived at the official wharf, someone picked them up and sent them directly to the workshop in Xilefang. The crate of pupae weighed at least twenty catties. Hearing that this was just a random dig at the foot of the mountain, it is estimated that there are countless pupae sleeping under the soil of the entire pine forest, estimated to be hundreds of thousands of catties.

The cooks brought some food and drink to the yamen servants who were working hard on the journey, and many deacons also came to watch the fun. Bai Kou rolled up her sleeves and did it herself. First, she filled the old pot with water. The pupae were cut open one by one, and the sticky fleshy worms with mucus inside were picked out. Some of them almost completely metamorphosed and escaped from the pupae for a few days.

This scene made many people's stomachs churn, and killing chickens and ducks has never felt so disgusting, but seeing Boss Bai calmly and just doing things, no one dared to leave, enduring the nausea and standing where he was.

Mengmei took a few brave cooks with her, each of them found a few small knives and came forward to help, and the few people started working much faster. They peeled off a basket of pupae, and then lit a fire and sat in a pot to cook all the meat insects. It's cooked, and Bai Kou doesn't care about the rest, just order it to be dried and then ground into powder instead of soybean meal to feed chickens and ducks directly, to observe their egg production and the growth of chicken chicks, and if the insects are poisonous, they will lose the money. It's just chicken and duck.
