Chapter 50
crayfish!
That's right, the wooden basin was filled with all crayfish.
"What? They're all delicious?"
The third prince Tang Shuheng was shocked when he heard that Tang Yu actually said that this field pest was a delicacy. Even Emperor Tang had a look of horror on his face.
"Your Highness, did you drink too much yesterday and your brain is still awake?"
"Yes! This kind of pest is very annoying. They have strong reproductive ability and can be found everywhere in rice fields. Moreover, they like to dig holes, so it is very difficult to catch them!"
"Not only that! They are very dirty inside. Someone has eaten them before. Not only was they extremely unpalatable, but the person also died of diarrhea!"
In an instant, many courtiers spoke one after another. In their eyes, Tang Yu said that the crayfish was delicious, which was simply a crazy statement.
"Ninth brother, did you hear that? How can this pest be delicious?" Tang Shuheng said in a deep voice.
Tang Yu couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Everyone, this is really delicious, but you don't know how to handle it!"
Just now, Tang Yu was still curious about what kind of pests were flooding the fields. When he saw that it was crayfish, Tang Yu understood instantly.
Before the time travel, every summer, Tang Yu would invite his comrades out to eat crayfish and drink beer during his free time. He clearly remembered that the scientific name of crayfish is Procambarus clarkii, which is an aquatic animal of the crustacean family Crayfish, not an insect.
Moreover, lobsters mainly live in streams, swamps, ditches, and ponds. They like to eat the stems of plants, which can pose a threat to rice and other crops in paddy fields.
There are many water systems in the Tang Dynasty, and the residents mainly cultivate rice. Crayfish reproduce very quickly. No wonder they are treated as pests by the people of the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, crayfish like to dig holes, which will destroy and weaken the embankments. It is no wonder that the people of the Tang Dynasty treat them as pests.
All the civil and military officials said it was difficult to capture.
Tang Yu knew that in China, crayfish were introduced from abroad to be cultured domestically around 1929, and then escaped and quickly occupied the water bodies in southern my country. They were classified as a second-level invasive species and had a serious impact on our country's ecology. But later, the Chinese chef was shocked to discover that crayfish You can cook and it's delicious.
Later, when faced with the invasion of crayfish, the Chinese people had a very simple solution, that is, eat, eat, eat.
At present, in China, crayfish are already eaten and need to be farmed.
However, the ancients did not know that crayfish could still be eaten. Because they destroyed rice seedlings, they could only treat crayfish as pests.
"Yu'er, are you sure this is delicious?" Emperor Tang couldn't believe it.
Tang Yu laughed and said: "Yes, Father, this is really delicious! I thought it was some kind of pest just now, but it turned out to be this crayfish! If this crayfish spreads across the country, maybe the court will not have to provide food for disaster relief.
The refugee crisis can be easily resolved!”
"That's nonsense! Father, please don't listen to Ninth Brother's nonsense!" Tang Shuheng said immediately.
The eldest prince Tang Long was no longer calm: "Father, as we all know, this kind of pest is harmful to all, so how can this thing be eaten?"
"You don't believe it, do you? Bring me these two pots of crayfish to the imperial dining room!" Tang Yu rolled up his sleeves excitedly.
As a lover of spicy crayfish, Tang Yu has already thought of how to cook spicy crayfish.
"this"
The great eunuch Zhao Gao raised his head and looked at Emperor Tang.
Emperor Tang had a strange look on his face. He really couldn't believe that this field pest could be a kind of delicacy.
Tang Yu patted his chest and said: "Father, I won't do anything that I'm not sure about. Don't worry, I will let my father know what it means to be the best in the world!"
"Okay! Move over to the imperial dining room!" Seeing Tang Yu's confident look, Emperor Tang said solemnly.
If Tang Yu dared to say this before, he would definitely treat Tang Yu as mentally ill and kick him out of the Jinluan Palace, but now Tang Yu's status in Emperor Tang's heart has already changed. Especially yesterday, Tang Yu fought the entire Chu Dynasty alone.
The group, relying on its own efforts to promote the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, greatly enhanced Tang Yu's trust in the heart of the Tang Emperor.
The expression of the third prince changed: "Father, you must never allow your ninth brother to do whatever you want!"
