Chapter 4 Super Dry Food
The imagined looting did not happen.

The victims were stunned for a moment, and then approached with a cautious temptation. When they found three or four bags of flour on the ground, they knelt down on the ground and thanked the kind people for their charity. The order of first young and then old, first female and then male, silently distributed the small amount of food.

Yang Xiaoran, who was hiding in the grass, had sore eyes, and his vision was a little blurry.

This is Datang!
This is the rule of Zhenguan of the one emperor through the ages!

Even though the empire is still weak and riddled with holes, Yang Xiaoran knows that one day, that man who was stained with blood in front of the Xuanwu Gate will lead his subjects and make this era a legend!
Seeing the wave of victims leaving slowly, Yang Xiaoran lowered his head, wiped away his tears with his sleeves, and said in a low voice, "Go back."

"Um……"

Doing good deeds always made me happy, on the way home I couldn't help my nose and sang again, but was punched and kicked by Yang Xiaoran.

"You're looking for death! Walking in the mountains at night is already extremely dangerous, how dare you make such a noise and attract wild beasts?"

Snot sniffling aggrievedly, and showing Ai Ai's eyes, Yang Xiaoran turned his head away, too lazy to look at these bastards, thinking in his heart, maybe it's not unfeasible to secretly get some food for the victims?
But we have to avoid these two bastards, they are not mentally handicapped after all, they should fill the cellar with grain later, and the old Taoist handed over the key of the cellar to himself before he died.At the beginning, there was only a small amount of grain in it, and the rest were all those old-fashioned alchemy stuff.

Sometimes Yang Xiaoran couldn't help but maliciously speculate that the reason why the old Taoist was so poor was probably because he "didn't do his job properly".The old man is a learned man, although Yang Xiaoran's first-hand medical skills are not in the eyes of a promising young man in the 21st century, but in this era it is of a high standard.

Although the status of a doctor is not high, it is a profession that everyone needs. Therefore, if you have good medical skills, it is no problem to become a well-off.

But the old Taoist is so poor, the bottles and jars in the cellar are inseparable from an alchemy furnace.

You know, even doing scientific research in the 21st century is expensive, let alone in ancient times.What's more, the level of alchemy in the old way is really not very good. Although Yang Xiaoran learned biology, he didn't distinguish between biochemistry and chemistry. His level is enough to beat the old way by dozens of blocks, and the waste in it can be imagined.

Of course, in Yang Xiaoran's eyes, old-fashioned alchemy is just a waste of money. If you put lead and mercury in it, it's not a elixir, it's just a reminder.Didn't the old man just take drugs and kill himself?If he doesn't take drugs indiscriminately, it's no problem to live to 8 or 90. How could he go to see the patriarch when he is less than [-]?
But then again, living to such an age in this year is definitely considered a birthday star, and you only need to bend over to see the emperor.

Keep those alchemy things, those things are trash in the hands of the old man, but they are treasures in the hands of Yang Xiaoran, not long ago she used the things left by the old man to make sulfuric acid.

Hehe, this is a good thing, and these things are indispensable for making some small inventions in the future.Of course, in view of the danger of this thing, Yang Xiaoran had already taken the extracted sulfuric acid into his own space, for fear that if he didn't pay attention, two idiots would steal his key, go into the cellar and drink the sulfuric acid as a drink.

Looking at the faces of the two idiots beside him, Yang Xiaoran shuddered, and suddenly felt that he was very foresight.

Just leave the alchemy furnace there, and then fill the cellar with food, saying that it was left by the old way. Although today's good deeds are gratifying, the aftermath work must be done well. If someone finds out, it will be good. a rhetoric.

After thinking about it all the way, when it was daylight, the group of three finally returned to Xiaoqingguan. After Meimei had a good night's sleep, they got up to sort out the locusts they had collected these days.

Seeing Yang Xiaoran fiddling with those locusts without changing his expression, the snot and the stupid cow felt their stomachs tumbling.

Junior Sister's appearance at this moment is really scary, looking at those locusts is like seeing gold, silver and jewels, and let them go around the mountain again to get all the locusts in a radius of a hundred miles, and said that these locusts are the supreme delicacy, It's creepy to think about it, isn't Junior Sister crazy?

"Cut shrimps for locusts, what do you two know?!"

Yang Xiaoran was very dissatisfied with what the "locust god" said, even though she was reborn and possessed a body, she also had a little reverence for ghosts and gods, but it was just such a little reverence.The so-called belief is the correct attitude to believe but not to be blind.

A few days ago, His Majesty Li Er was forced to swallow locusts alive by five families and seven surnames, and issued an imperial edict to sin himself, vowing that he would let the locusts eat his heart and liver.Now that His Majesty Li Er is still alive and kicking, it can be seen that the locust god is completely nonsense!The emperor can eat it all, so why can't we eat it?
"This locust is the most delicious when wrapped in flour, deep-fried, and sprinkled with salt. It's even more delicious than chicken. If you don't understand it, don't mix it here. Find me a locust!"

Seeing Yang Xiaoran's appearance of not giving up on eating locusts, Hanniu and Snot were terrified, and their stomach was rolling even more violently. Just as they were thinking about how to suppress this disgusting feeling, they heard their good junior sister continue to say: " Alas, if you open a storehouse for disaster relief today, and the mood of the victims is stable, you should go farther today and go down the mountain to get more locusts. These locusts are really good things! Dried and ground into powder, they can be used as medicine!"

The snot and the silly cow went down the mountain, and the whole person was dazed, as if in a dream.

Locusts are better than meat, locusts nourish the body, and locusts can be used as medicine...

What is this all about? !
Could it be that junior sister is really crazy?
However, due to the prestige of their junior sister, the two still consciously went down the mountain to catch locusts.

Seeing the legs and feet of the two idiots going down the mountain, Yang Xiaoran laughed unkindly.

This locust can be eaten, but she doesn't have a hobby of eating insects, but it is true that locusts can be used as medicine.But she did not collect locusts for medicine, but to make nutritious meals for the two seniors.

Although there is beef in the space now, it cannot be taken out to eat in a grand manner, and they are growing up, so it is not enough to drink some soup and eat some fish.In addition, the three of them are all martial arts practitioners, and they practice martial arts every day. How can they survive without consuming high-protein foods?

Take the locusts back, wash them, dry them in the sun, roast and dehydrate them on the fire, and then grind them into powder, which is an excellent source of high protein.Mix these locust powders into the fried flour, mix with a little water, salt, and oil, and then perform dehydration and other processes, and then you will have compressed biscuits comparable to later generations.

This thing can be stored for a long time, and you can have a piece when you don’t want to cook. It can not only fight hunger but also provide nutrition. It can be described as the best of both worlds!

The days passed like running water, and the disaster gradually passed. His Majesty Li Er and his group of capable officials quickly minimized the negative impact of this natural disaster.

Not only did he commit the crime by issuing an edict, but he also grabbed the locusts on the ground and swallowed them into his stomach in front of all the people in Chang'an City. He said sadly and angrily: "I am responsible for all the crimes. Let these locusts eat my heart and liver. Do not eat the rations of the common people!"

On that day, the sound of long live shook the whole of Chang'an, and the mood of the affected people was quickly stabilized. Especially after the granary was opened, all speculation subsided. His Majesty Li Er's political show this time was considered a success.

Strange to say, perhaps Li Xiaoer really touched the heavens, and the long-drought Guanzhong land ushered in rain after Comrade Li Xiaoer swallowed the locusts.

Could it be that God suddenly found out that Li Xiaoer was his own?
Of course, this is just Yang Xiaoran's malicious speculation, maybe Li Er is somewhat sincere.

After all, although it is Zhenguan now, the "reign of justice" has not yet come.The emperor just came to the throne, and the Turks came, and once hit the city of Chang'an, His Majesty Li Er had no choice but to cut a white horse by the Weishui River and made an alliance with the Turkic Khan, and the price he paid was to evacuate the entire treasury , This is in exchange for the retreat of the Turks.

Chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, many years of fighting and killing, princes everywhere, the entire land of China is riddled with holes, what Li Er took over from his father is a mess, if Li Er knew that the empty space in the imperial treasury could be used for horse racing , Natural disasters keep coming year after year, probably there won't be one from Xuanwumen, right?
All in all, if one word were to be used to describe the Great Tang Empire at this time, it would be "chaos"!Two words, that is "very messy!"

Of course, he is still very poor, not to mention ordinary people, even Li Er is so poor that he is about to sell his underwear.The elder grandson, the empress of the ages, can't even cover her shoes with her clothes at this moment. The country is really too poor, and she can't bear to spend an extra inch of cloth to cover her feet!
Of course, with the blood of Hu people in the bones of Li Er's family, they wouldn't care too much about it.

This kind of mess is not easy for anyone to put on. As a result, the gods are not good at it. There was a flood last year. This year, the drought and locust disaster came again. It is simply not to treat Li Xiaoer as a son!Only a stepfather could be so vicious...

The disaster is over, Yang Xiaoran and others also caught the locusts around Xiaoqingshan clean, and made a whole cellar of compressed biscuits. Looking at the compressed biscuits in the cellar, they tried the delicious snot and stupid cow of locust biscuits. Comrades were very satisfied with this, and their admiration for Yang Xiaoran went up to a new level.

In the early morning of this day, Xiaoqingshan, which has always been quiet, became lively. The disaster is over, and people are always easy to forget. Seeing that midsummer is about to pass and autumn is approaching, some literati and inkmen have started to travel to the mountains and rivers again. I don't know which family's son and daughter actually touched this small green mountain, and after going around, they came to Xiaoqingguan.

The boy who came to call for the door looked very imposing, but when Han Niu's calf-like body emerged from the door, the boy's aura was obviously a bit shorter, and after he had done enough etiquette, he said: "This Daoist, my master came out to visit the mountains and rivers, passed by here, and was thirsty, so he came here to ask for a bowl of water."

Han Niu saw that this young man was well dressed, turned around and left.

The boy was about to scold the stupid cow for being rude, but he saw the strong man turned back, but he walked behind, and there was another figure in front of him.Taking a closer look, it turned out to be a very beautiful little girl carved in powder and jade.

I saw the girl walking in front, and the strong man and another stronger man followed step by step, their attitudes were very respectful, my heart trembled, and I thought to myself: "It seems that the one who can make the decision has come. "

 This article tries to combine history, but because the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the names of some protagonists are still used according to the names in the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. For example, the eldest son of Cheng Yaojin was named Cheng Huaimo in history, but Cheng Chumo is used in this article, and some historical details, The records in related books are not very clear. A Chi made some inferences and wrote this book according to his own understanding. The birth ages of some characters were not recorded in detail. For the needs of the plot, A Chi deduced a more consistent age, and there will be more in the future. illustrate.
