After lunch, Li Zexuan accompanied his father-in-law to talk for a while under the shade of the trees in the courtyard and then left. There were still things waiting for him to arrange in the academy!
He recently discovered a strange thing, that is, he, a homebody, can no longer stay at home. If there is nothing to do, it is difficult for him to stay in a certain place for a long time. This problem has troubled him for a while. Later, I couldn't figure it out, so I blamed it on the lack of electronic products in this era, which made him, a homebody, unable to stay at home!
Electronics and chemical engineering are the top priorities of the academy in the future! His ultimate goal is to establish the basic science of the Tang Dynasty. Li Zexuan will be satisfied if he can play the game on the Little Overlord learning machine in his lifetime!
As a successful time traveler, Li Zexuan is wealthy and powerful here, and seems quite comfortable, but in some respects, he is not as good as an ordinary person in modern times! You don’t even have to have a mobile phone to play with! The only thing to blame is that he didn't bring a mobile phone with him when he traveled through time!
"Hey! There's a big grasshopper here! Haha! You're done!"
"Wow~! Such a big locust~? No more competition, no more competition with you! I'm going back to the chicken farm to pick up eggs~!"
When he reached the entrance of the village, Li Zexuan saw Da Niu, Er Niu and a group of children from the same village playing in the field. From what they said, it seemed like they were fighting grasshoppers. He smiled slightly and walked over.
The life span of locusts is generally about 2-3 months, and they can be divided into summer locusts and autumn locusts. Overwintering locust eggs hatch into nymphs and are unearthed in April or May. This is called summer locust. The next generation of summer locusts is called autumn locust. Locusts lay eggs again in autumn, which are eggs for the winter. It's already the end of September, and what these naughty kids are playing with must be autumn locusts.
"Daniu, Erniu, what are you making a fuss about?"
The few idiots were stunned and quickly greeted Li Zexuan respectfully: "Hello, young master!"
Then the big cow said angrily: "Master, we were competing to see who could catch the bigger grasshopper, but we ended up being the loser!"
Only then did Li Zexuan notice that there was a thick bamboo tube hanging on Daniel's waist, and he could still vaguely hear the "dong dong dong" sound inside. He couldn't help but said:
"What did you kid do to catch such a big tube of grasshoppers? Even if you are competing with Da Zhuang, you don't need to catch so many! It's such a hot day, and you're not afraid of showing off your good deeds~!"
"Hehe~!"
Daniel scratched his head, laughed sheepishly, and said, "Master, we are not afraid of the heat! These grasshoppers are taken back to feed the chickens in my chicken farm~! My mother said that the chickens can lay more eggs when they are full. , if you lay more eggs, you can sell them for money, and if you sell them for money, you will have new clothes to wear during the New Year~!"
Seeing Daniel clasping his fingers and thinking hard as he spoke, Li Zexuan couldn't help laughing and said: "Haha~! Daniel, why don't you let your chickens out from the chicken farm to eat grasshoppers~?"
Li Zexuan was too tall, so Daniel could only raise his head and reply: "Master, this won't work~! If the chickens are let out, they will definitely destroy the vegetable fields after eating the grasshoppers~!"
It seems that there are not many locusts this year~!
Li Zexuan learned such a message from Daniel's words. Locusts, eggs, locusts, eggs, eh~? There is something in here~!
Li Zexuan suddenly had an idea. He patted Daniel on the shoulder and said, "Daniu, don't give these grasshoppers to the chickens in the future. You can talk to the other children in Zhuangzi and say that if you catch grasshoppers in the future, you can give them away." Go to the canteen of Yanhuang Academy and you can exchange a pound of grasshoppers for three pennies!"
"Ah~? Master, you...are you telling the truth?"
Daniel's eyes widened in disbelief. A pound of grasshoppers costs three cents. This is simply a way to get rich for these naughty kids who have nothing to do all day long! As for the chickens in the chicken farm, even if they don't eat locusts and you feed them some other bugs, they will still lay eggs, right? This is equivalent to making two copies of money! No wonder Daniel is not excited.
The other naughty children looked at Li Zexuan expectantly, expecting to hear a definite answer from the latter's mouth.
"Of course it's true! If you don't believe it, you can send some grasshoppers to the college cafeteria today. Then you will definitely pay with one hand and grasshoppers with the other~!"
Li Zexuan said with a smile.
That's right, he wants to promote eating grasshoppers in the academy in advance so that when the locust plague comes next year, someone can "fight side by side" with him! Besides, locusts are rich in protein, which is also very beneficial to the human body. As for how to make students willing to eat locusts, he already had a plan in mind!
"Wow~! Thank you, Master~!"
A group of naughty children cheered and immediately dispersed. It seemed that they were going back to call their friends to get tools to catch locusts.
"Hey~! Daniel, come here!"
Li Zexuan quickly held down Daniel's shoulders to prevent him from moving.
"Master~?"
Daniel looked confused, not knowing why Li Zexuan stopped him.
"No, I'll give you five cents and give me your tube of grasshoppers!"
Li Zexuan took out five copper coins from his wallet, handed them to Daniel and said.
He didn't know why there were copper coins in his purse. He probably put them in his wallet before going out in the morning, right? Hey, it’s great to have a caring wife~!
Daniel looked at the bamboo tube in his hand, reacted, and quickly waved his hand: "Master, take the bamboo tube, I don't want your money!"
After that, he ran away quickly.
"Hey~! This kid~!"
Li Zexuan shook his head, then took a tube of grasshoppers and walked towards Yanhuang Academy.
……………………
"Dahu, come here~!"
In the back kitchen of the canteen of Yanhuang Academy, Li Zexuan clasped his hands behind his back and shouted at the fat young man who was directing people to wash vegetables by the sink.
This person is the brother of Wang Erhu, the head chef of Zuixianlou, and is also the current "chief chef" of Yanhuang Academy canteen - Wang Dahu. In terms of talent in cooking, Wang Dahu is not as good as Wang Erhu, but there is still a difference. Not far away, Li Zexuan saw that this man had a kind face and was honest, so he recruited him.
"Chief, why are you here~?"
Hearing Li Zexuan's voice, Wang Dahu wiped his sweat and hurried over to greet him.
"Dahu, are you busy now~? I have something to give you~!"
Li Zexuan nodded and asked softly.
"It's not busy, it's not busy! Chief, if you have anything to do, just ask me!"
It's still more than an hour before the students have dinner, so he's not very busy right now.
"Well, that's alright, come with me and I'll teach you how to cook a dish~!"
Li Zexuan pinched the bamboo tube in his sleeve and said to Wang Dahu.
After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards a small cubicle next to him.
"A dish? Did the mountain chief invent a new dish~?"
Wang Dahu, who was behind, was thinking wildly in his mind.
