"Your Majesty, it's true!"
The veterans persuaded in unison, and looked at Ying Feiyu. After eating one bunch, he went to the food box and fished out two more bunches.
He handed a bunch to Jing Fu and the two of them ate it with gusto!
Look at that posture, it seems to be really good!
Coupled with the sincere looks in the eyes of some veterans, Ying Zheng also slowly lowered his hands and breathed carefully!
"Huh? Is this smell really coming from those locusts?"
"Your Majesty, these locusts are very delicious!"
Before Ying Feiyu could speak, Jing Fu chewed with relish and spoke.
"Gulu..."
After smelling the alluring fragrance, the veterans couldn't help but roll their Adam's apples and subconsciously licked the corners of their mouths.
"Um...your highness, there is something I don't know whether to say or not...?"
"improper!"
Zhang Hanba smacked his lips and spoke implicitly, wanting to ask for a bunch of locusts to taste.
But before he could finish his words, Ying Feiyu shouted back!
"Hehe! Your Highness, you still have three skewers! I just want one skewer!"
Even so, Zhang Han still refused to give up and continued to ask for it shamelessly.
There were seven skewers in total on the plate sent by the imperial kitchen, with four skewers on each skewer!
Ying Feiyu and Jing Fu were about to finish four skewers, and there were only three skewers left on the plate. If they didn't hurry up, even these three skewers might be destroyed by His Highness the Crown Prince!
"Hmph! Didn't you just say that this thing can't be eaten?"
Ying Feiyu picked up another one and chewed it, which looked very enjoyable.
"Ahem...! Since your boy proposed to let the army eat locusts to solve the locust plague, then I will try it for the army first to see if this thing is edible!"
Ying Zheng coughed twice and made a high-sounding excuse.
"Hehe! Okay, since everyone wants to try it, I will give you a chance, so as not to say that I am a solitary eater!"
Even Ying Zheng opened his mouth, and Ying Feiyu stopped putting on airs.
He grabbed the remaining three skewers on the plate and handed one to Ying Zheng.
The remaining two skewers are distributed to other veterans!
Each of the veterans picked one up, threw it into their mouths, and nodded, "Yeah! Not only does this thing smell good, it also tastes good!"
"Yeah! It's really good!"
Even Ying Zheng couldn't help but praise him.
The taste of this stuff was completely different from what they had imagined before!
"Lao Zhang, give me another one!"
The old guys each took one and threw it into their mouths, so Kang Anping called Zhang Han and wanted another one.
"No, I shamelessly asked for these locusts, why should I give them to you?"
Zhang Han refused immediately without even thinking about it.
Two bunches of locusts, eight in total.
There is one for each of the six ministers, and there are two left!
One is in the hands of Zhang Han and the other is in the hands of Wang Ben!
When Wang Ben saw this, he immediately opened his mouth and stuffed the thing in his hand into his mouth, telling them not to worry about it!
"Bah, bah..."
Although Zhang Han didn't do this, he sprayed a lot of saliva on it, "Do you want more? Take it?"
"Lao Zhang, you are a real dog!"
Kang Anping grimaced and sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"How's it going? Everyone has tasted it now, right? It's clear in one scene whether the locusts are edible or not!"
After a plate of locusts had been eaten, Ying Feiyu said with a smile as he looked at the unsatisfied expressions of the veterans.
"Well! This is definitely a good method! We have an army of 300,000. Let's go out to capture them together. How can we spend millions of pounds on one meal? In a few days, the locust plague will be wiped out!"
"Yes, yes, according to what His Royal Highness the Prince just said, these locusts have high nutritional value. They can not only satisfy the soldiers' hunger, but also replenish their bodies. It's the best!"
"If you can't finish it, you can grind it into locust powder and take it to Xianyang to use as medicine. You can also exchange some money to supplement your family's income!"
"His Royal Highness, this method is really brilliant. It kills four birds with one stone and saves the court a lot of expenses. Haha...!"
After tasting the fried locusts, the attitude of the old shop made a 360-degree turn, and they were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths.
Just like the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, it seems like a simple method, but they just can’t think of it!
Or rather, I dare not think about it!
How could anyone know this stuff is so delicious if no one tries it?
Everyone was assigned one just now, and as soon as they lured the greedy ones out, they were gone.
After returning home later, I immediately asked my servants to catch locusts and fry them in a big pot, so that everyone in the family could enjoy it!
"Okay! It's settled. According to His Highness the Crown Prince's wishes, send a telegram to the Maurya Dynasty, haha!"
There is such a simple way to solve the locust plague. Ying Zheng slapped his thigh happily.
…
From the Mauryan Dynasty, the telegram has been sent out for a long time, but there is still no response. Everyone is staring at the two small boxes eagerly.
"Old Cao, is this thing broken?"
Fan Kuai tilted his head and asked, and even stretched out his big hand, wanting to slap it twice.
Fortunately, Cao Shen had a sharp eye and stopped him immediately, "Stop! What do you want to do? This thing is very expensive. What if it breaks?"
"Yes! This is a high technology developed by His Highness the Crown Prince. We don't understand it, so we'd better stop messing around!"
Han Xin also stopped him verbally.
"But our news has been sent out for a long time, why is there no movement at all...?"
Fan Kuai scratched his head anxiously, "Isn't it possible that even His Highness the Crown Prince can't solve it?"
"Don't talk nonsense. If His Royal Highness has nothing to do, he will respond to us! Maybe His Highness is not in the palace at this time!"
Han Xin said.
"Yeah! That's right! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has too many things to do every day. Even if the soldiers are looking for it, it will take a long time!"
Fan Kuai suddenly nodded.
"Wait a little longer!"
"Um!"
Everyone responded, gathered around the telegraph machine, and waited patiently.
"Didi..."
After a while, the telegraph machine made a sound, and everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Here he comes, His Highness the Crown Prince has returned with news!"
The telegraph operator quickly recorded it.
"Huh? Why did it just ring twice and then disappear this time?"
Fan Kuai scratched his head, not sure why.
"Hmm! It's a little strange!"
Even Cao Shen felt something was wrong.
Usually, whether it is transmitting or receiving messages, it has never been so short!
"Is it possible that Lao Fan, the crow's mouth, really got it right? The telegraph machine broke down just after it arrived?"
Peng Yue glanced at Fan Kuai with a hint of complaint.
"Quickly pull me down! Good things can't be found in me, but this kind of thing will happen to me!"
"I'm not sticking it to you, this is a fact!"
"What bullshit facts, I look at you..."
"Okay! Stop arguing and let's see what the telegraph operator says!"
Cao Shen interrupted the quarrel between the two and turned his attention to the telegraph operator.
The telegraph operator also looked confused and handed the recorded words to everyone in doubt!
"eat?"
After seeing the big characters above, everyone was stunned.
