Quick Wear: BE cannon fodder does not follow the routine

Chapter 579 Sir, Please Stay (41)

"It seems that you have a solution, sister. Whatever you want to do, your brother will support you."

"My dear, the summer rains are almost over. The potatoes and sweet potatoes in the fields are fine, but the rice and wheat may not produce a good harvest this year."

"That's the business of other counties. Our county can promote it first. After all, we don't have that many mushroom seeds."

"It's all up to you."

"Xixi, sister-in-law, I support you without reservation!"

[Sister Xi, so this is the reason why you grow mushrooms.]

[Otherwise, I grow mushrooms for food. I’ve been studying the principles and practices of locust vaccination day and night for the past half month and it’s no joke.]

After eating, the group of people headed to the area where the locust plague was the most serious. Looking at the swarms of locusts on the ground, Gu Yuxi felt that he was in for a treat today.

"General, County Magistrate, County Deputy... I am the head of this place, and these are the heads of these villages."

"I greet the general, all the gentlemen, the two ladies, and the young master."

"Everyone knows that the insect plague has caused great damage. This general, the county magistrate, and all the others are also worried about the food situation of the people of Fuxing."

"General, you are right. These pests eat everything, even the leaves of trees. Many people are helpless."

A dozen men were sitting aside discussing the matter, while Gu Yuxi and his men had already taken a large net to catch locusts.

"Xixi, there are more over here, hurry up and pull your net over here."

"The one over here, quickly catch the one over here."

"Sir, will the two ladies be in danger? This bug likes to bite people."

"Madam needs to study these bugs. Order people to catch as many as possible."

"Yes."

When they returned to the county magistrate's mansion, the sun was setting. Gu Yuxi and others were doing experiments on locusts in the county magistrate's yard. Some capable people were also observing the color and body structure of the locusts, while Gu Beicheng and others could only stare at the locusts in a daze.

"This is from Madam No. 1's cage. Be careful not to kill it."

[Sister Xi, the green ones are grass locusts. You can also eat this kind. I want to eat it. Heat the oil in a pan!]

[I have to put some of them back so I can’t eat them all.]

Seeing Gu Yuxi stabbing the locust's chest with a silver needle, someone said, "Madam, this time the locusts are more powerful than before. We can only use medicine to slowly experiment."

"This is also the medicine I prescribed. I don't know how effective it is."

Each doctor and agricultural expert had his own ideas, and suddenly there were several more groups of experiments in the small bamboo cage, and each medicine needed to be tested.

"Madam, what effect will this medicine have if it is injected into this side of the locust?"

"My expectation is to reduce the number of locusts, one way is to kill the existing ones, and the other is to prevent them from laying eggs."

"What Madam said is exactly the problem we need to solve right now. It will be difficult to stop it from laying eggs."

"So I have two strategies. One is to take advantage of the rainy season in Fuxing City to grow mushrooms that are resistant to insect eggs. The other is to sterilize the locusts."

“That seems difficult.”

“We can only see how the experiment turns out, and I also hope that the teachers’ experiments will be successful.”

"But the rest..."

"Let us take care of it at the county magistrate's office. Aunt Hui, how is the water in the kitchen?"

"Madam, it's ready. I'm preparing to cook now."

"Take these three bags of locusts."

"Yes!"

The remaining bag was enough for this group of people to study. The others followed and saw Gu Yuxi asking people to pour the locusts into hot water, stir them, drain the water and take them out.

"Take off the wings and legs."

"Madam, are you going to make powder?"

"That's it."

Because there were more than twenty people, they helped to remove the wings and other parts of the locusts. Gu Yuxi took a large spoon and poured the large basin of washed and drained locusts into the oil pan and stir-fried them.

"Auntie, it's delicious."

"We'll find out later."

Add onions, garlic, chili peppers and other ingredients, sauté them until fragrant, then pour the locusts in. Then sprinkle coriander and sesame seeds on the surface. Everyone else will be stunned!

There were three tables set up for the meal, and Gu Yuxi and his friends only provided cabbage and tofu soup and fried cabbage with eggs.

"You're welcome, adults and teachers. Please."

"Madam, this..."

When the others saw the terrifying green pepper grasshoppers on the table, they looked delicious but hard to eat! They all looked at Gu Beicheng and Deng Wenjie.

"General, sir, the King of Zhenjiang is here!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Beicheng, Deng Wenjie and others stood up to greet him: "Greetings, Your Majesty."

"Please stand up, everyone. I have been worried about the insect plague in the south in recent months. Today, I heard that you are studying ways to solve it, so I came to check it out."

Li Haozheng looked at Gu Yuxi, then saw the food set out in the yard, and sat down: "I have arrived just in time, everyone, please take a seat."

"It's the prince."

The chopsticks were holding the dishes, and the others also started to pick up their chopsticks: "Bei Cheng, what is this dish?"

"Your Highness, these are the bugs that my foolish sister fried. Please don't blame me, Your Highness."

"Auntie, this is delicious."

"Xixi, these bugs are delicious. Let's catch more tomorrow."

Seeing the women eating with gusto, Deng Wenjie took the first bite with chopsticks to avoid embarrassment. Unexpectedly, the insect tasted fresh and delicious.

"Master Deng, how is it?"

"Brother-in-law, if you can't eat it, don't force it."

"Yuxi's cooking is delicious."

Gu Beicheng was not to be outdone and started to eat with his chopsticks. Unexpectedly, the food tasted delicious and he ate it with rice with relish.

Li Haozheng also picked up his chopsticks and said to the officials who were still in fear: "My Lords, please."

"Your Majesty, please go first."

"Aunt, I want more!"

Several women over there started to serve the second plate. Those who took the first bite had their eyes light up and madly swept up the dish of fried grasshoppers with peppers.

Gu Yuxi could only say that the water in her mansion was washed with spiritual spring water, and the toxicity of these grasshoppers was greatly reduced after being washed in that water. If they were moved to another place, some people might be poisoned if they were not fried well.

The onions and other small side dishes were also eaten up. Someone asked, "Madam, is there any more in the mansion..."

"No more. Didn't we just fry them? You should make sure to clean the grasshoppers thoroughly before frying them. If you don't fry them well enough, you might get poisoned if you eat them."

The servants cleaned the dining area, and Deng Wenjie and his friends went to the meeting hall in front.

"Your Majesty, perhaps we can solve the insect plague by eating it."

“Ordinary people don’t know how to deal with it, so it’s difficult to promote it.”

"That makes sense. The county magistrate's wife can cook delicious food, but the common people can't."

"..."

Gu Yuxi didn't care about that. She knew that her strategy of eating locusts would be difficult to accept for the time being, so she experimented with the locusts she caught today in the space.

"Sister Xi, can I have another plate of fried grasshoppers with peppers?"

"There is no material for the time being, unless someone catches it. Are you not full?"

"Not yet." Xiao Ke said, touching his round belly.
