Chapter 210: The Flooding Scourge Really Fragrances 6
Chapter 210 The flooding disaster is so delicious (6)
"Master..."
"But……"
"I am a king, and my concubines dare not do so."
In the dormitory, Zhao Chengji sat down on the soft couch and sat down next to her.
Reaching out to hug her, Zhao Chengji came closer to her and whispered in her ear, "I am a king in front of others, but in front of you, I am just the father of the child in your belly and your husband."
The warm breath lingers in your ears.
Yu Lan felt a little itchy on her cheek, and her face felt a little warm unconsciously.
Is this okay?
Since he said so.
Then she believes it.
Thinking of this, Yu Lan asked tentatively in a low voice, "Master, if you don't lie to me, I will take it seriously."
Zhao Chengji gently pinched the back of her neck with his hand, caressed her gently with his fingers, and said in a low and calm voice, "You have no joke."
Slightly raising her head to look at the man sitting next to her, Yu Lan reached out and put her hands around his neck, and kissed him on the cheek.
"Husband."
Hearing her call him, Zhao Chengji wrapped his big hands around her waist and tightened his grip, "Well, that's good. Don't be too restrained in the future, just be more comfortable."
Leaning against him, Yu Lan put her hands around his waist.
"Master, you got up so early today, do you want to go get some sleep?"
Zhao Chengji shook his head.
"No, I will sit with you for a while first. I have to go to the study to handle some things later."
We still need to find a solution to the problem of fat beetles. This kind of hard-shelled beetle reproduces very quickly and usually grows in various ditches or fields, especially rivers.
Fat beetles like this are found everywhere in the Northern Territory, but there are more and less. Especially in Yunzhou, where there is a rainy season and it is located on the riverside, fat beetles can be seen everywhere on hot days. This kind of insect is very powerful.
It harms crops and can also hurt people. In short, it is a harm to the people.
This year's hot season has long passed, but Yunzhou has been infested with fat beetles for a while. You can imagine how plentiful those things are.
Just thinking about it, Zhao Chengji frowned slightly.
It's not easy to be an emperor.
In his previous life, this man died at the age of forty. Thinking of this, Yu Lan's hand holding his waist tightened unconsciously.
We absolutely cannot let that happen.
Feeling his movement, Zhao Chengji lowered his head slightly, "What's wrong?"
"I just feel sorry for you, Master. You should pay attention to your health and don't be too tired."
Although people say long live the emperor, he is just an ordinary person. Yu Lan does not ask him to live long, she only hopes that the person she loves in this life can live a long life.
"Don't worry, I'm in good health."
No, she was just worried.
Yu Lan: "Well, I will watch you."
Zhao Chengji couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this, "Okay, whatever my concubine says is fine."
"By the way, what was I thinking about just now? You frowned."
"It's nothing, there's just something in the court that hasn't been resolved yet."
"In this case, I won't ask you any questions."
Since it is a matter above the court, it is a national matter. Matters at this level are not something she can interfere with.
"There's nothing we can't know. It's just that there's an insect infestation over there in Yunzhou, and things are getting a little serious. I'm trying to figure out a way to see if I can completely solve the root cause, otherwise it won't be a problem if it continues like this."
Is there an insect infestation in Yunzhou?
Yu Lan was stunned and couldn't help but ask: "What kind of insects are so powerful?" It's become a disaster. This is really serious.
Listen to her ask.
Zhao Chengji said: "It's the Fat Beetle."
Yu Lan said she didn't understand, "Fat beetle? What kind of insect is this?"
It can only be said that even insects are called differently in different places. Therefore, it is normal for Yu Lan not to know about fat beetles.
Seeing that she didn't know, Zhao Chengji made a gesture with his hand. "The fat beetle has such a round body and a very hard shell. It has eight legs on each side and two big pincers at the front. Most of these things live in the sea and rivers.
, and in the fields, and in the ditches with their own mud.”
Yu Lan was stunned.
Doesn’t this sound like a black beetle? As for the black beetle, that’s the name in her hometown. Yu Lan remembers that this kind of insect is indeed the most common in fields or ditches. When she was a child, the children in the village
I often catch and play with them.
If this is the case, it would be easy to handle.
However, in order to confirm, Yu Lan still came out of his arms, took his hand, and simply drew his fingers on the palm of his hand.
"Master, this is what you are talking about."
Zhao Chengji nodded, "Well, that's it."
Yu Lan lowered his head slightly, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "Sir, if it is really the black beetles that are causing a disaster, then maybe it is not a disaster, but a gift from God."
Zhao Chengji raised his eyebrows, "How do you say this?"
Yu Lan looked up at him and said, "Sir, I've eaten this before. How do you say it tastes? It's delicious, soft and mellow. It's not poisonous either. I was still young at that time and not very sensible. The village was older than me.
The children got together to play house. They made a fire and cooked the food, and then tricked me into eating it."
"It feels like everything can be eaten except the shell. After eating it twice, it feels more delicious than meat. And it's easy to make. You can boil it directly in the pot or steam it. Break the shell and eat it. You can also make some chili sauce.
Or eat it with vinegar to remove the fishy smell."
After hearing Yu Lan's words, Zhao Chengji's expression became serious, "Can this thing be eaten?"
Yu Lan nodded seriously, "I am sure that this is edible. Because after that time, our family would catch some and eat it from time to time. Even if someone in the village saw our family eating this, some people started to try it. However, the food
They are also from poor families, and generally those who have a surplus of food at home will not eat this."
Zhao Chengji raised his eyebrows.
It is edible. If that is the case, then this fat beetle is really not a disaster, but food.
Food is the most important thing for the people. If this thing can be done, it will not only easily eliminate the insects and solve the root of the problem, but also turn waste into treasure, giving the people one more kind of edible food.
Thinking of this, Zhao Chengji raised his hand and said, "On November, let someone prepare some fat beetles and send them to the imperial kitchen to wash them clean. In addition, let Master Liu and the others enter the palace."
"yes……"
Eleven's voice came from the darkness.
Yu Lan raised his head and glanced at the roof. The sound seemed to be coming from the roof.
Hearing that he wanted to confirm, Yu Lan held his hand and said, "I believe what I said."
Zhao Chengji nodded, "It's natural. Since you said it can be eaten, you are right. But if you want people to eat insects, you must see them to believe them to be convincing. In addition, you have to ask the imperial doctor to confirm that this
Not everyone can eat the food.”
Reaching out to hold her little hand, Zhao Chengji smiled faintly, and his mood instantly improved. It was a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
Why didn't I think of that before?
Since Yu Lan and the others are fine even if they eat more, it means that they can eat it.
We can't kill them all, we can't catch them all, there's nothing we can do about these insects.
