Chapter 289 Take the lead in taking locust powder
"The First Emperor sacrificed the Wei River and the black dragon appeared!"
"Liu Ji swung his sword and killed the white snake!"
"Foxes ming Daze Township!"
"Even if the sky in Zhang Jiao's mouth is dead, Huang Tian should make such a disobedient argument!"
"Old Li, you have been fighting on the battlefield for more than ten years. When facing a vicious enemy, you are still unmoved. No one dares to have an unjust person in the place pointed by the long sword in your hand."
"With the most terrifying power in the world in your hands, why are you disturbed by mere locusts today?"
"What is God?"
"Heaven is the power in your hands. Gods and ghosts have great power to move mountains and fill the sea. Old Li, are you worse than them?"
"In the ninth year of Zhenguan, benevolent government was widely used, and the people in the world praised it. This is like the rivers and seas have their source, high trees have deep roots, and eagles have their wings."
"Make good use of these powers, Lao Li, you are the god yourself."
Zhao Chen's voice seemed to have a special magic, which made Li Shimin inexplicably excited.
He was filled with blood.
With this power, Li Shimin, why should he be the son of this heaven?
He himself is this day.
The unique heaven of the Tang Dynasty!
Aren’t the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors also gods?
So why can't he be a god in the Tang Dynasty?
"I'm very satisfied with it!" Li Shimin nodded, his expression not as ugly as before.
But Zhao Chen obviously hasn't told him how to solve the locust plague.
"Just just locusts, just send someone to catch them. Before they grow their mature wings, let the people catch them. In order to ensure the lives of the people, I can buy these locusts at a price of two pounds per penny.
"Zhao Chen said to Li Shimin again.
But this sentence directly made Li Shimin feel a little furious.
I almost fell down on the stool.
The righteous words I said before were so arrogant, why did this suddenly become this face?
Love, Zhao Chen, said so much, just want to acquire these locusts?
Dirty businessman's way!
"Brother Zhao, I think that Wei Zheng should teach you well. You are a dignified county marquis, but now you are full of merchant words. The philosopher's face is vividly revealed in front of you, I think it is very embarrassing!" Li Shimin glared fiercely and glared fiercely.
Zhao Chen.
"There is nothing bad about doing business, just make some money, otherwise, you should pay for these locusts by yourself?" Zhao Chen looked at Li Shimin with a smile.
Li Shimin didn't have this spare money, so he waved his hands repeatedly.
"Since you agreed, it's hard to grab it, right?"
"Actually, sometimes doing business is quite interesting!" Li Shimin was a little insincere.
Thinking of his eldest son, His Highness, the future crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, had this kind of virtue.
Li Shimin felt that he had two big heads.
"Aren't you worried that the acquisition of locusts will cause anger to the sky?" Old Li came back and thought, and was curious about Zhao Chen's proposal to acquire locusts.
What is the best way to acquire locusts?
"Angry came from heaven? It's just a fool's method. When I was a child, I knew how much this locust had eaten?"
"Look, don't you live freely now?" Zhao Chen poured himself a cup of tea, and his expression seemed to be savoring the taste of locusts.
"Zhaoxianhou, do you eat locusts?" Wei Zheng almost pinched his neck.
He has never heard of eating locusts.
Thinking of the disgusting appearance of the locust, I couldn't help but feel nauseous.
"There are so many ways to eat locusts. Fry, braised, stir-fry, roast on the heat, remove wings and thorns, which is delicious." Zhao Chen smiled.
I ate locusts in my previous life, and the first time I really vomited was that I felt comfortable.
But later, I became fascinated by this feeling.
Wei Zheng couldn't help but shudder when he saw Zhao Chen's aftertaste.
I thought to myself that I had eaten these things at Zhao Chen.
If he had eaten it, then he...
Wei Zheng carefully stayed away from Zhao Chen's position, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.
After all, Lao Li is a person who has experienced strong winds and waves. He can't scare him even if he is a locust.
"You are trying to buy this locust to satisfy your appetite? Also, how does this locust taste?" Li Shimin couldn't help but be curious when he saw Zhao Chen so fascinated.
"How many locusts are there in this world, how many can I eat by myself?"
"As for the taste of the locust, it is actually similar to that of chicken and duck meat, it is just more tender and smooth."
"Anyway, it won't take a few months, and there will be enough locusts to eat. At that time, I will prepare a plate for Lao Li."
"Hey, Doctor Wei, what are you doing at the door? Don't worry, I will prepare a plate for you..."
"vomit--"
Before Zhao Chen could finish his words, Wei Zheng covered his mouth and retching.
He rushed out of the tavern as if he had escaped.
Obviously, he was just thinking about getting far away from Zhao Chen.
Li Shimin was extremely happy.
"Brother Zhao, I can wait for you to cook for me with locusts. If this matter is feasible, it can turn natural disasters into blessings."
"The previous locust plague was a saying of heaven's punishment, and it will completely become a joke, waiting for you!"
"This is of course easy to say, but Old Li, you shouldn't have to support me with some money, after all, this..."
"You dream, I have no money!" Before Zhao Chen finished asking for money, he was interrupted by Lao Li.
"You kid uses locusts to make money, pretending that I don't know, and want me to give you support money. Do you really think I'm a fool?" Li Shimin said dissatisfied again.
But I had plans in my heart.
He knew that Zhao Chen was planning to make money with this, so could he get a share of the pie?
"Zhao Chen, actually, it's not impossible to give you some money, but you have to tell me, what else can this locust do besides eating it?" Li Shimin was like a queen who deceived Snow White to eat poisonous apples.
He looked at Zhao Chen with a smile.
"Locusts can be eaten or used as medicine."
"It is usually boiled and dried in water and ground into powder. It can completely replace eggs and duck eggs."
"In addition, locusts are also a Chinese medicine, a medicine to treat my aunt's qi disease!"
"The most important purpose is that locusts can be used as medicine to treat night blindness." Zhao Chen and Li Shimin briefly explained a few words.
However, what Zhao Chen explained is easy to understand.
Anyway, Li Shimin knew that this locust is of great use.
The only thing that made him curious was this night blindness.
Something that has never been heard!
"What is night blindness?" Li Shimin asked, like a curious baby.
"Ordinary people eat too little meat, which leads to malnutrition. When walking at night, they cannot see the road clearly. This is night blindness."
"Locust powder can improve this situation. After all, compared to meat, locust powder is cheaper." Zhao Chen likes this feeling of solving people's doubts.
Especially the other one is Lao Li.
Looking at his disbelief eyes gradually widening, Zhao Chen felt a little satisfied.
The more Lao Li listened, the more confused he became.
But he knew very well what he should ask: "Then how can you sell locust powder?"
The people all believe that locusts are the punishment of God and represent the will of God.
They dare not offend God, let alone eat these "messengers" of God!
