I'm about to become an immortal, do you want me to be a prince?

Chapter 13 Locust, it is edible!
"Boy Li Mu, don't talk nonsense, can locusts be eaten?"

"Yes, as long as it is handled well, it can be regarded as a delicious snack!"

"..."

"You... are you serious?" Li Shimin asked with a serious face.

"Ang, why are you lying to me? I'll show you if you don't believe me."

What the hell!

Li Shimin is really not calm, this kid is really playing!
Although the ancients did not know that locusts had toxins in their bodies, they at least knew that they would eat dead people.

That's why Li Shimin was so restless.

"Old Li, don't make a fuss, let me give you a popular science."

"Ok?"

"Locusts are poisonous, but you only need to cut off their heads and tails, remove their legs and wings, remove their internal organs, and then squeeze them with oil, and then they can be eaten. After frying, they are also delicious."

"..."

Li Shimin made fun of me with a face like you, and it's delicious food, why don't you say that shit is also delicious food.

Li Mu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he rolled up his sleeves and started working.

Take the pot and heat the oil.

sizzle...

Li Mu poured a plate of cleaned locusts into the oil pan.

After a while, a scent spread out.

Li Shimin and the others smelled the fragrance, and their faces were very exciting.

"Is this locust really edible?"

Looking at the fried locusts, which were golden in color and exuded an attractive aroma, Changsun Wuji, who had just gathered around to watch the excitement, couldn't help asking.

Li Mu picked up one and said, "Old Sun, don't believe it, this thing is really edible."

After finishing speaking, he directly threw the locust in his hand into his mouth.

clack clack...

Listening to the sound, it seems to be quite crisp.

After Li Mu chewed it, he swallowed the locust.

gollum...

Everyone present swallowed at the same time.

Not greedy, but surprised.

"how is the taste?"

"Crispy and delicious, with a special taste."

Seeing Li Mu's confident expression, Li Shimin couldn't help picking one up.

"Li Gong, think twice!" Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui persuaded at the same time.

Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, then waved his hands and said, "It's okay."

Then quickly throw the locust into the mouth.

clack clack...

"what!"

The more Li Shimin chewed, the more incredible his expression became.

After swallowing it, he pointed at the fried locust and said in surprise, "It really has a different taste, you might as well try it."

"..."

"..."

Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui still hesitated, but then Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth and picked up one, closed his eyes, and quickly put the locust into his mouth.

After chewing a few times, "Huh?"

Obviously, Changsun Wuji's expression also lit up, and then he couldn't help but nodded and said, "Well, yes."

With the affirmation of Zhangsun Wuji, Lao Du became more courageous and tasted one.

I found out, hey, this thing can exist!

"Mr. Li is really a god!" Lao Du praised while eating.

"Hey, old Du, you're too much of an award, it's just a basic thing."

After a pause, Li Mu continued, "By the way, in addition to encouraging the eating of locusts, we also need to make some other preparations, both ways."

"Oh, let's hear it." Li Shimin suddenly became interested.

"First of all, flying insects tend to fire, and they can set fires at night, causing locusts to burn themselves, and then bury them with soil.

Secondly, people can be ordered to set up nets to catch them, or poultry can be eaten by them, or boiled water can be poured on the ground to kill their eggs.

Only in this way can the plague of locusts be resolved as quickly as possible. "

When the three of Li Shimin heard it, hey, it makes sense!
"However, the people regard locusts as locust gods and dare not offend them easily. It may be difficult to encourage the people to eat locusts."

Du Ruhui raised concerns.

Then the three of them cast their eyes on Li Mu in unison.

Li Mu seemed very calm, and he smiled slightly, "It's indeed difficult, but it's not impossible."

"I also ask Mr. Li to enlighten me."

"Let the emperor eat first."

What? ? ?

Li Shimin instantly petrified, are you kidding me?

"It's best to eat it in front of officials and common people. This is called eating and broadcasting!"

Li Mu made a little spoof.

"Eat in front of officials and common people?"

Li Shimin thought about it for a while, and it seemed to be possible, oh shit, the publicity effect was instantly activated.

Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui also had expressions of admiration after listening to it, and they all gave thumbs up.

"Young Master Li is a great talent!"

……

Then in the second year of Zhenguan, a certain day.

Li Shimin didn't know who listened to the bewitchment, and actually brought all the civil and military officials to the suburbs outside the city to conduct a live broadcast.

Said to the peasant brothers in the suburbs, "I tell you, this locust roars, it can be eaten, if you don't believe me, take a look..."

Then, amidst the cheers of the common people and civil and military officials, Li Shimin ate several locusts in a row.

While eating, he pretended to be coercive to the locust in his hand, "People live on grain, and you eat it, which is harmful to the people. The people have made mistakes. If you give it to one person, you have a spirit, but eat my heart, no one will eat it." Harm the people."

Then the people cheered, "Your Majesty is holy!"

Of course, the translation can also be understood as "Your Majesty 666!"

But in short, at this moment, the great, bright and correct Emperor Taizong is undoubtedly the wise one, who belonged to 666.

What the people want!That's about it.
