Chapter 149 Fried Locusts
Chapter 149 Fried Locusts
Although the plague of locusts has been brought under control, it is impossible to grow food in a short time, not even potatoes, which grow extremely fast.
The victims are still starving to death.
It was Li Hao who not only controlled the plague of locusts, but also allocated a lot of food to help these victims struggle back from life and death.
Who in the entire Hedong Road is not grateful to Li Hao!
Li Hao has saved them more than once!
This saved their lives twice in a row.
If it is the first time to save their lives, they are very grateful to Li Hao, if they are on Li Hao's side.
Then being rescued for the second time, the people of Hedong Road felt that they could only repay with death!
I was rescued twice by others, so what can I say, and what can I do to repay them?Life is saved by others, and your life is theirs!
Although Li Hao has no requirements for the people of Hedong Road, the people of Hedong Road have already realized themselves.
If one day, Li Hao has any request, the people of Hedong Road will do their best to do it!
……
Chang'an City.
Li Shimin is very excited!
The drought and locust plague in Hedong Dao this time would have greatly reduced the population of the Hedong Dao area.
It will also cause many uprisings and rebellions.
The entire Datang will have a period of trough because of this incident.
However, with Li Hao's help, this eternal disaster was resolved just like that.
The population loss in the Hedong Road area is very small, and with the potatoes and Quyuanli provided by Li Hao, it is conceivable that the future of Hedong Road will be very good.
The resolution of this incident allowed Li Shimin, who had been anxious for many days, to finally relax.
After thinking about it, Li Shimin rode to Li Hao's mansion to share the good news with Li Hao.
Li Hao Mansion.
Li Shimin got off his horse and strode into Li Hao's mansion.
The servants of Li Hao's mansion did not dare to stop Li Shimin and led Li Shimin in.
Li Shimin shouted loudly:
"Mr. Li Hao, I have come to announce the good news to you!"
"The control of the locust plague this time is quite good. Mr. Li Hao, you really have made great contributions!"
But Li Shimin yelled for a long time, but found that Li Hao was not enjoying life in the courtyard.
I don't know where Li Hao went.
The servants didn't know too well, one servant said:
"Your Majesty, the young master may be in the kitchen. I saw the young master walking towards the kitchen earlier. Your Majesty can visit the kitchen."
Hearing that the servants said that Li Hao was in the kitchen, Li Shimin immediately showed joy on his face.
Now there is something delicious.
The few times Li Shimin came here, he didn't have any thoughts on eating. At that time, his whole mind was on the important affairs of the country. If he was not careful, the Tang Dynasty would fall into the abyss. Everything Li Shimin ate was tasteless.
Now that the locust plague crisis has been basically lifted, the big stone in Li Shimin's heart has also fallen to the ground.
Of course it has to be something delicious!
Li Shimin, led by his servants, came to the kitchen.
Li Shimin was pleasantly surprised to see smoke wafting from the chimney of the kitchen and the crackling sound coming from inside.
Li Hao was indeed inside.
Li Shimin pushed open the half-covered kitchen door, and saw that Li Hao was frying something in the frying pan, and the crackling sound just now came from the frying pan.
Due to the lack of oil in this era, frying is a luxury. Li Shimin himself rarely eats it, and only rich and powerful people like Li Hao can afford it.
Li Shimin took a closer look, and saw that there were strips of small pieces of meat in the oil pan, but they didn't look like pieces of meat. He didn't know what they were. Li Shimin asked curiously:
"Mr. Li Hao, what are you blowing up?"
Li Hao knew that Li Shimin was coming, but he was obsessed with blowing up things, so he didn't even look at Li Shimin, he just replied:
"I'm frying locusts."
That's right.
Li Hao is now frying locusts in the frying pan.
Li Hao asked Zheng Liwan to get it from the Hedong Road area. Zheng Liwan wondered what Li Hao wanted the locusts for.
Li Hao had eaten this food in Yunnan in his previous life, and he felt that it tasted very good. It looked scary, but after being processed, it became a delicious dish.
Li Shimin was taken aback!
"Mr. Li Hao, you are not crazy!"
"The locusts are bugs, where can they eat them!"
Thinking that the locusts were fried in this pot, Li Shimin even panicked a little!
Li Hao smiled and said:
"Your Majesty, you don't understand this. Locusts can be eaten by themselves. Otherwise, how can ducks become fat and strong because of eating locusts?"
"Remove the head and internal organs of the locust, and the rest is all meat, which is similar to chicken and tastes very good."
"If you don't believe it, Your Majesty, I'll give you a bite now."
After finishing speaking, Li Hao picked up a piece of fried locust meat and threw it into his mouth.
Ok.
The heat is well controlled and the taste is pretty good, Li Hao is very satisfied.
Then Li Hao threw another piece of locust meat to Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, you are biased, and you will know what's going on after eating a piece."
Li Shimin took the piece of locust meat hesitantly.
Looking at Li Hao, seeing that Li Hao was fine after eating this piece of meat, Li Shimin thought that he should not be underestimated by Li Hao, so he carefully put this piece of locust meat into his mouth.
In an instant, Li Shimin's taste buds exploded!
In this day and age, there are few fried foods in the first place. In addition, Li Hao has a good level of control over the heat, so the fried food is said to be charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
In addition, Li Hao sprinkled cumin and chili powder, these two things are a universal match for any grilled fried food, the impact on the taste buds can be imagined!
Li Shimin chewed it a few times, and felt that the taste was quite good, and the meat was very tender!
This thing is really good!
Li Shimin nodded.
"Mr. Li Hao, you didn't lie to me, this fried locust is really good."
Li Hao said with a smile while exploding:
"Needless to say, can the food that I all approve of be bad?"
"Come on, eat another one."
Speaking of which, Li Hao handed Li Shimin another piece of locust meat.
Li Shimin ate with relish.
Never feel sick again because the meat is locust meat.
After eating this piece of locust meat, Li Hao didn't need to give way, he just reached out and ate the locust meat from the basin containing the locust meat.
The locust was originally just an insect, not too big, and after removing the head and internal organs, it was just a small piece of meat.
Therefore, Li Shimin ate one bite at a time, and ate very quickly.
Seeing that Li Shimin was so impolite, Li Hao couldn't fry it as fast as Li Shimin, so he was a little anxious. He didn't care about fried locust meat, so he went to fish the locust meat in the basin to eat.
Li Shimin and Li Hao fought over each other, this big pot full of locust meat was eaten up by the two of them in a short while!
It's a very satisfying meal.
Li Shimin was still unsatisfied, and wanted to eat again, so he urged Li Hao to fry it again.
But Li Hao refused.
Although these locusts are good, they should not be eaten too much, otherwise they will easily cause allergies due to foreign proteins. He Li Hao is not afraid, but Li Shimin's physique is still at the level of ordinary people, and eating too much can't bear it.
Li Shimin didn't force Li Hao either.
This meal has eaten quite a lot.
Li Shimin smiled and said:
"Mr. Li Hao, you are really amazing. Even this locust can be made into a vegetable. It is a fantastic idea. If our common people can eat locusts as a vegetable, the famine can be solved a lot... Wait!"
Li Shimin suddenly thought of something.
