"It's broken! It's broken! This machine is definitely broken...!"
Fan Kuai waved his hands in disappointment, "Look, these are all random words! We are asking His Highness the Crown Prince for advice on how to deal with these nasty locusts. How can His Highness the Crown Prince reply with the word "eat"?"
"Yeah! It's really weird!"
Peng Yue, Wang Li and others also scratched their heads.
"Shouldn't it?"
Cao Shen also looked confused and looked at the telegraph operator.
He can't understand this kind of high technology!
Of those present, these two telegraph operators were the only ones who understood it somewhat!
"Forehead……"
The telegraph operator tinkered for a while and then said: "Generals, everything is normal with the telegraph machine, no problem!"
"No problem? If there is no problem, why is this the only word that comes back from Xianyang?"
Fan Kuai looked a little impatient.
"Um...could...could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince only sent back this word?"
The telegraph operator thought about it again and again, and found this was the only possibility.
"Fart! How is this possible? Just the word "eat"? What to eat? Let the locusts eat the food? Or let us just sit and wait to eat the food fed by the court?"
Fan Kuai was already angry because he couldn't guess what was going on.
"Ouch! Lao Fan, they are just telegraph operators. Whatever news comes back from over there, they just translate it. What kind of evil are you throwing at them?"
Cao Shen opened his mouth to persuade.
Then he looked at the telegraph operator in confusion, "Is it possible that you missed something?"
"Return to the general, absolutely impossible!"
The two said firmly.
The telegraph only rang twice. How could they hear it wrong?
"Then send another telegram back and let His Highness the Prince elaborate!"
"yes!"
There is no way, no one understands what this means, so we can only ask His Highness the Crown Prince again.
When the news comes back, we will be able to determine whether there is a problem with the machine or whether they made a translation error!
"Didi...didi..."
The telegraph operator began to work again.
After a while, the news reached Xianyang.
This time, the discussion has ended, Ying Feiyu has just returned to the dormitory, and the old guys have also gone back to their homes.
After receiving the telegram, Ying Feiyu briefly wrote down the method of frying locusts, and also explained the medicinal value of locusts, asking Han Xin and others to encourage the soldiers to catch locusts to make locust powder, which they could sell to make money after returning to Xianyang. !
"Didi...didi...didi..."
This time, the telegraph machine rang intermittently for a long time.
The two telegraph operators were writing furiously, fearing that they would miss something.
"Haha! Look, let me tell you, the telegraph machine was definitely broken just now! It's normal this time!"
Listening to the constant sound of the telegraph machine, Fan Kuai grinned again and laughed.
"Okay! Stop talking and let the telegraph operator translate quietly!"
Cao Shen made a silent gesture to stop Fan Kuai.
Fan Kuai reacted and quickly covered his mouth.
After the voice ended, the telegraph operator had almost finished recording. The two of them compared the written papers and checked for any gaps.
Fortunately, both of them translated accurately, and no one was missed. They handed it over to Cao Shen and Han Xin, "General, please have a look!"
"Um!"
The two took it and examined it carefully, slowly showing an incredulous expression.
"Isn't it right? Your Highness the Crown Prince really lets us eat it?"
Cao Shen was the first to read it and immediately pursed his lips.
Those locusts just crawled all over his body. He was so disgusted that he couldn't stop eating them.
Just kill him!
"what does it mean?"
Fan Kuai tilted his head and stared at the expressions of the two people, very confused.
What was written on the paper? Why did the two of them look so reluctant after reading it?
"Take a look!"
Han Xin handed the note out and asked them to read it by themselves!
"There is nothing wrong with the telegraph machine. His Royal Highness did let us eat locusts!"
Cao Shen's face had turned the color of pig liver, which was extremely unsightly.
"Eating locusts? We are not at the point where we have no food to eat. Why should we eat locusts?"
Everyone was puzzled.
"This should be the solution His Highness the Crown Prince gave us! Didn't you read what it said! Locusts have a very high nutritional value, comparable to eggs. After removing the legs and wings, they can be dried and ground into powder, and they can also be used as medicine!"
Han Xin said seriously.
"But...but...how do you eat that thing?"
Wang Li grimaced.
His family comes from a double family. He dare not say that he is rich, and he has not had to worry about food and clothing since he was a child.
When other people are worried about a bucket of rice, their family can afford freshly slaughtered mutton!
Now let him eat locusts? Isn't this a joke?
"How else can you eat it? Just eat it with your mouth! Since His Highness the Crown Prince said it can be eaten, it must be edible! I, Old Fan, will give you a try first!"
Fan Kuai was a die-hard fan of Ying Feiyu. After finishing his words, he stretched out his hand and caught a handful of locusts at the door.
After closing the door, he immediately stuffed it into his mouth.
"Stop! Lao Fan, are you crazy? Just stuff it into your mouth?"
Seeing his actions, Wang Li quickly stopped him.
This guy is really good-natured. He has a bunch of locusts jumping around in his mouth. Is this guy going to stuff them into his mouth like this?
He felt sick just looking at it!
"Otherwise? Didn't His Highness the Crown Prince say that this stuff is nutritious!"
Fan Kuai spoke plausibly.
"That's right! His Royal Highness did say that, but it also said that it must be cooked in oil! In other words, it must be fried in hot oil first. Who told you to eat it raw?"
Wang Li slapped his forehead.
Being uneducated is terrible!
"Huh? You still need to cook it with oil...?"
Hearing this, Fan Kuai smiled awkwardly, "Hey, those words are too complicated. I don't know much about them, so I just skipped them!"
"Okay, you just missed the most important thing!"
Everyone shook their heads helplessly.
"Hey! Then what are you waiting for? Let's start blowing it up quickly?"
In order to relieve his own embarrassment, Fan Kuai quickly called on everyone to move.
Although everyone was a little reluctant, seeing that this guy was going to stuff his mouth alive, they were too embarrassed to say they didn't want to eat.
So I could only bite the bullet, go outside, grab two handfuls, and hand them over to the Huotou Army!
Heat the oil in a pot, put the locusts under the hot oil, and after a "sizzling" sound, the locusts that were originally jumping around all stopped moving!
As the oil pan was churning, the veterans kept twitching their noses, as if they smelled a strange aroma.
"Hey! Lao Peng, is my nose not working properly or something? Why does this stuff smell like fried quail?"
Fan Kuai scolded Peng Yue beside him and spoke in confusion.
"Not only did you smell it, but I also smelled it. It definitely smelled like fried quail!"
Peng Yue nodded repeatedly.
"Did you smell it too?"
Yingbu stared at the two people and seemed to feel the same way.
"Maybe... this thing will be really delicious after being fried?"
Wang Li also changed his mind.
Because after this thing is fried, it emits an attractive aroma.
Especially after taking it out and sprinkling it with sesame seeds and seasonings, the aroma will be even stronger!
