When they brought the crayfish back to Xianyang from Wo Island, Ying Zheng's expression was almost the same as now, and he was also full of disgust!
But since I tasted one, haven’t I asked the imperial kitchen to make a plate every now and then?
He believed that as long as he let this old guy taste the first one, he would not be able to stop!
That thing is more delicious than meat when fried!
In just a moment, Jing Fu returned with a food box.
Everyone knew what was inside, so they immediately covered their mouths and noses and leaned back, not wanting to be contaminated by even the slightest smell!
"Humph! You all remember, don't fight with me later!"
Ying Feiyu glanced at everyone present and warned.
"Don't worry, kid. Don't talk about robbing this thing. Even if you give us money, no one will eat it!"
Because he was covering his mouth and nose, Ying Zheng's voice was hesitant, as if he had a big toad in his mouth.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!"
The other veteran guys also nodded.
"Okay! You all remember it!"
Ying Feiyu smiled and took the food box, slowly opened the lid and took out a plate of fried locusts!
Each one was skewered on a slender wooden skewer, and sprinkled with sesame seeds, chili pepper and salt noodles!
"Hmm! It smells so good!"
Ying Feiyu took a bunch, put it under his nose and smelled it, with a look of enjoyment on his face.
Originally, Jingfu also disliked it very much. When he explained it to the cook in the imperial kitchen, the cook also showed an expression of disbelief!
But when the locusts got into the pot, they immediately emitted a strange fragrance.
The taste is even more attractive than pork in pot!
Kind of like frying quail!
Therefore, when Ying Feiyu opened the food box, not only did he not have a trace of disgust, but he was looking forward to it!
I don’t know what this thing smells like?
"Your Highness, please don't deceive us. We won't believe it. It's just a few insects. No matter how fragrant it is, how can it be fragrant?"
The old guys covered their mouths and noses tightly for fear of smelling something strange.
"Jingfu, tell me, does this thing smell strange?"
When Ying Feiyu saw Jing Fu's expression, he knew that he was not disgusted and even looked forward to it, so he asked.
"No! Not only does it not smell, but it smells really good!"
Jingfu's eyes sparkled and he answered truthfully.
"How can this be?"
Ying Zheng sneered.
"Your Majesty! It's true. I watched these locusts eat the pot with my own eyes. It smells very good!"
Jingfu’s confident report.
"oh?"
Ying Zheng was a little suspicious.
Jingfu has been with him for four years. He is an honest man and will never lie!
Is it possible that this thing is really edible?
"Come on! Jingfu, I'll give you a bunch, you can try it too!"
After saying that, Ying Feiyu took out another bunch from the plate and handed it to Jing Fu.
"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
This time, Jing Fu didn't look at Ying Zheng's face and took it happily.
This thing is disdained by His Majesty. Even if he eats it, His Majesty will not reprimand him!
Besides, His Highness the Crown Prince was the one who rewarded it, so he couldn’t refuse it at all!
"Click..."
Ying Feiyu and Jing Fu each took a skewer and bit into it, it was crunchy.
"Yeah! Crispy and fragrant! Delicious!"
After taking a bite, Jingfu's face was filled with surprise and his eyes were shining brightly.
The taste was even better than he imagined!
"Of course!"
Ying Feiyu raised his head slightly proudly.
This thing was very common in barbecue stalls in later generations.
Even if you have traveled through time, when you are in Yunyang, you will catch a few of them, skewer them on sticks and grill them to eat, which can satisfy your craving!
"real or fake?"
Seeing the expressions of enjoyment on their faces, Kang Anping asked suspiciously.
"Kang Shangshu, if you don't believe it, you can put your hand down and smell it!"
Ying Feiyu jumped down from the chair and ran to him with a bunch of locusts.
"No, no, no, Your Highness, please stay away from me. I had a barbecue for lunch, so don't let me spit it out!"
Kang Anping waved his hands repeatedly, resisting very much.
Before, he was just curious about whether the two people's performance was real or fake, but he didn't say he wanted to try it!
But the moment he turned around, he found that Jingfu was licking the locusts on the stick with great relish. His expression didn't look fake!
Is this stuff really delicious?
Then he quietly moved his fingers away from a gap!
Because of the cooler weather, they kept the door closed during the meeting.
So the whole room was filled with the aroma of fried locusts!
"Um?"
Smelling the alluring smell, Kang Anping's eyes suddenly widened and he immediately put down his hands covering his mouth and nose.
"Lao Kang? What's wrong with you?"
Meng Yi next to him asked doubtfully.
"This...this smell is really delicious!"
Kang Anping was stunned.
I never expected that those nasty locusts would smell like this when they explode?
"I said, Lao Kang, why did you put your hands down so politely? Look, everyone is being smoked stupidly!"
"No! No! This smells really good. Smell it!"
However, Kang Anping not only did not put his hand back up, but instead took a deep breath and called on the other veterans to take off the hand covering their mouth and nose.
"Pull him down quickly, you kid is so stupid that you can't even think straight!"
The old guys are very stubborn and don’t believe it at all.
"Trust me! If this doesn't taste good, I'll buy you a drink tonight!"
In order to prove that he was not lying, Kang Anping also risked his life.
The veterans looked at each other, made eye contact with each other, and finally decided to compromise.
It's just a matter of taking your hand off and smelling it, and you can exchange it for a drink. It's a good deal!
"Lao Kang, in front of His Majesty, you must keep your word!"
Before putting it down, the veterans were still uneasy and made sure again.
"Don't worry, I, Lao Kang, keep his word!"
Kang Anping nodded firmly.
"good!"
After drinking this drink, all the old guys put down their hands covering their mouths and noses and breathed in the air in the room.
"Um?"
Similar to Kang Anping's previous reaction, the veterans who smelled the scent suddenly widened their eyes and stared in disbelief at the string of two locusts left in Ying Feiyu's hand.
"Is this... this alluring fragrance really coming from this thing?"
Feng Quji's hands trembled slightly.
"uh-huh!"
Ying Feiyu responded naturally, opened his small mouth, and bit off another stick from the wooden stick, "You are too unsteady in your will. Kang Shangshu made you compromise after just one drink!"
"..."
"How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Looking at the reactions of several veterans, Kang Anping smiled proudly.
You definitely don’t need to treat yourself to this meal!
"Your Majesty! Smell it quickly. Does the smell in this palace look like roasted quail?"
Smelling the fragrance, the veterans immediately greeted Ying Zheng.
"Roasted quail? Are you kidding me? How can a few little bugs compare with quail?"
Ying Zheng rolled his eyes at a few people, obviously not believing it.
Quail had appeared before the Western Zhou Dynasty and were delicious. They liked to fight for them every time they hunted.
It's just that it's small in size and very alert, so it's not easy to hunt!
As for pheasants, hares and the like, they can be found everywhere, so there is no challenge!
