Chapter 408 Locust plague does not exist at all
"Wash it with water and just put it in the pan and fry it. Sprinkle some salt after frying. It will be crispy and crispy. It is suitable for all ages. It is crispy and refreshing. It is good for daily cooking and selling to major restaurants."
Si Bei
If it tastes bad, but from what Yu Yueli said, it seems pretty good.
Uncle Wu also swallowed a mouthful of the apple and nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, that bug is edible? That bug is very ferocious. It always eats some crops. It can fly, run fast, and is green and ugly.
Yes, it’s very scary. Is that food edible? What’s left after it’s fried?”
"Of course you can eat it. Grasshoppers are rich in protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and nutrients such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, and manganese. They are also low in fat and cholesterol. The main reason is that their staple food is grass, which is definitely healthy.
Even if you can't eat it yourself, sell it or feed it to chickens
, the chickens and eggs raised in this way are more delicious and nutritious than ordinary ones. There are also grasshoppers raised in our area to sell for money. Basically, the locust plagues every year can eat them to extinction, so
In our case, the locusts were caught before they could cross the border."
What Yu Yueli said was clear and logical, and Uncle Wu listened with great interest. His eyes widened, and he even forgot to eat the apple. He was still a little bit embarrassed in his heart, but Yu Yueli is a medical fairy, so what he said must be right, and he immediately clapped his hands.
Thigh, "Okay, I'll go to the field and try to catch it tonight."
Fry a plate and try it out. If you can eat it, you won’t have to worry about harvesting this autumn." After saying that, he immediately stood up and finished the apple in a few mouthfuls, threw the core of the apple into the fish basket, turned around and hurriedly greeted a few people.
Some neighbors went back to the fields to catch grasshoppers, and I walked around and told them.
"I'll go too, I'll go too. Let's eat grasshoppers tonight. I haven't eaten them for a long time." Yu Yueli licked her lips. She was drooling just now when they talked about the locust plague. She turned to Si behind her.
Bei Jun waved his hand, "Si Beijun, let's go and catch grasshoppers. Let's eat game tonight."
"Don't go, what if you fall?" Si Beixuan quickly pushed the person back, "If you want to eat, just let Han Hao and the others catch it. Why are you joining in the fun like this? Just stay here."
"Si Beixuan also wants to go. After all, if it is really edible, it can also solve the food shortage problem in the northwest.
"Hey? Are there any grasshoppers here that I can eat?" Si Beijun suddenly became excited when he heard Yu Yueli's shout, "If I had known, I would have grabbed a few and roasted them in the morning. I'll go right away, sister.
Just stay well and go away, girl, I will take you to catch grasshoppers." He said and grabbed Qi Lian.
Qi Lian was busy packing her things, but was snatched away by Si Beijun in the next second. She now felt that Si Beijun was getting more and more arrogant since he married Li Luo and met Yu Yueli.
As soon as Si Beiming saw his wife being dragged away, he quickly chased after her.
Pulling Qi Lian back, Qi Lian became anxious and said, "Hey, just leave, don't drag me. Si Beiming, there is something wrong with you. You drag him, why are you dragging me?"
?It hurts, it hurts, Si Beiming, please let me go, it hurts. Si Beijun, please let go too, and I will leave."
There was a lot of noise here. Si Beixuan also sent Han Hao, Mu Feng and Xia Yi to go with him, leaving a silver bell to take care of Yu Yueli. The others continued to pack their things. The emperor took the opportunity to come over and they were talking just now.
The emperor also listened and said, "Is what you said just now true?"
Yu Yueli glanced at the emperor and nodded, "Of course, this wild grasshopper must be more nutritious. If you don't believe it, why don't you go to the Prince's Mansion for a meal tonight, or go to Si Beijun's place? Anyway, he
I can cook it at home,” and it looks like Si Beijun knows how to cook.
The emperor paused and then nodded, "Well, that's fine. I'll go and try this grasshopper. If it's really edible, you'll be considered to have done a great job. The locust plague in the northwest is serious now. If this can be solved,
The issue of food rations for the common people can be considered a good thing that benefits the country and the people."
"Although these grasshoppers are good, they can't be eaten as food, and there are only so many grasshoppers. With so many people opening their mouths and eating them all in a day or two, what about the rest of the day?" Yu Yueli spread out.
Tan Shou said, "I suggest that the common people catch grasshoppers voluntarily, and then sell them at market prices to major restaurants, inns, and the like, or sell them in the market. Some wealthy people must know that this food is edible and nutritious.
They will also buy it, so that the people can make a profit, it is more cost-effective, and since it is not yet the autumn harvest, there is still time to save the crop fields."
"Well, that's what I mean," the emperor nodded. If this thing is really edible as Yu Yueli said, and it is delicious and has high nutritional value, then all we need to do is send an official document to the northwest region and all regions to let them
It is better for officials to tell the people than to open positions and stop losses now.
"There is also the issue of drought in the northwest. As far as Erchen knows, there is a severe drought in the northwest, but severe flooding in the south. Heavy rains for several days in a row almost caused the Baidi River to burst its banks. What I think is,
Father, if you don't think it's too troublesome, you can find a designer to open a grand canal connecting the northwest and the south, connecting the Baidi River. This way, water can be diverted from the south to the north, and the waterlogging in the south can be used to solve the drought in the northwest. It is mutually beneficial and there is no need to worry about drought.
Waterlogging is a problem. Of course, this project may be a bit huge. According to my estimate, it will take at least three to four years."
When the emperor heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately lowered his head and thought, "Three or four years is not bad, and if we can find a closer passage, we can shorten the construction period. Well, your idea is not bad, and it has solved the problem for me recently.
I’ll give you a note on the two major headaches I’ve been having.”
"Just remember it slowly. I will remember my contribution in the future." Yu Yueli patted her belly proudly. The emperor glanced at her, and just finished praising her, Yu Yueli said.
Yue Li suddenly became anxious, "Isn't it a great achievement that I gave you a grandson? Ah?"
The emperor immediately laughed angrily at these words, and slapped Yu Yueli on the back of the head, "I think you are arrogant because of your pregnancy. Li Luo did not live like you when she was pregnant and gave birth to a child. This child
Even before he was born, he came to me to ask for credit." And the request for credit was so obvious.
