After lunch, Li Zexuan chatted with his father-in-law under the shade of a tree in the courtyard for a while before leaving. There were still things waiting for him at the academy!
He had recently discovered a strange thing. As a shut-in, he could no longer stay at home. If there was nothing going on, he would not be able to stay at home for long periods of time. This problem had troubled him for a while, but he could not figure it out no matter how hard he tried. He blamed it on the fact that there were no electronic products in this era, causing him to be unable to stay at home!
Electronics and chemical engineering were the most important things for the academy in the future! His ultimate goal was to establish the basic science of Tang Dynasty. Li Zexuan would be satisfied if he could play games on the Little Tyrant learning machine while he was still alive!
As a successful transmigrator, Li Zexuan had money and power in this world. It might seem comfortable, but from a certain point of view, he could not even be compared to an ordinary person in the modern world! He did not even have a phone to play with! He could only blame himself for not bringing a phone with him when he transmigrated here!
"Hey! There's a huge grasshopper here! Haha! You guys are finished! "
"Wow! Such a huge grasshopper ~? I don't want to compete with you anymore! 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 and Er Niu playing with a group of children from the same village in the fields. From what they were talking about, it seemed like they were fighting grasshoppers. He smiled and walked over.
The lifespan of a grasshopper was around 2-3 months. They could be divided into summer grasshoppers and autumn grasshoppers. The eggs of grasshoppers that survived the winter hatched into nymphs in April and May. They were called summer grasshoppers. The next generation of summer grasshoppers was called autumn grasshoppers. When autumn grasshoppers laid eggs, they were called winter grasshoppers. It was already the end of September. This group of naughty children must be playing with autumn grasshoppers.
"Da Niu, Er Niu, what are you guys doing?"
The few children were stunned. They quickly greeted Li Zexuan respectfully, "Greetings, young master!"
Then, Da Niu said in a muffled voice, "Young Master, we were competing to see who could catch the biggest grasshopper. In the end, Da Zhuang was shameless!"
Only now did Li Zexuan notice that there was a thick bamboo tube hanging from Da Niu's waist. He could faintly hear a "dong dong dong" sound coming from inside.
"Brat, why did you catch such a big basket of grasshoppers? Even if it was a competition with Da Zhuang, there was no need to catch so many! It's such a hot day, aren't you afraid that something bad will happen to you ~? "
"Hehe ~!"
Scratching his head, Da Niu awkwardly laughed, "Young Master, we're not afraid of the heat! This grasshopper is for the chickens in my chicken farm to eat ~! My mother said that when a chicken is full, it can lay more eggs. If it lays more eggs, we can sell them for money. If we sell them for money, we can have new clothes to wear during the New Year ~! "
Li Zexuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw Da Niu thinking hard while counting his fingers. "Haha! Da Niu, why don't you let your chickens out of the chicken farm to eat the grasshopper ~? "
Li Zexuan was too tall, so Da Niu could only raise his head and answer, "Young Master, that won't do ~! If we let the chickens out, after they finish eating the grasshopper, they'll definitely go to the vegetable farm ~! "
Looks like there aren't many grasshoppers this year ~!
Li Zexuan understood this information from Da Niu's words. Grasshopper, eggs, grasshopper, eggs, eh ~? There's something in here ~!
Li Zexuan suddenly had an idea. He patted Da Niu's shoulder and said, "Da Niu, don't let the chickens eat the grasshopper in the future. Tell the other children in the farmstead that if they catch grasshopper, they can send it to the Yanhuang College cafeteria. One catty of grasshopper can be exchanged for three copper coins!"
"Ah ~? Young Master, you … you're telling the truth? "
Da Niu widened his eyes in disbelief. Three copper coins for one catty of grasshopper. To these children who had nothing to do all day, this was a way to make a fortune! As for the chickens in the chicken farm, even if they didn't eat the grasshopper, they would still lay eggs if they ate other insects, right? This was equivalent to earning twice the amount of money! No wonder Da Niu wasn't excited.
The other children all looked at Li Zexuan expectantly, hoping to hear a definite answer from him.
"Of course it's true! If you don't believe me, you can send some grasshopper to the college cafeteria today. When the time comes, we'll definitely exchange money with grasshopper ~! "
Li Zexuan said with a smile.
That's right, he wanted to introduce grasshopper eating in the college in advance so that when the grasshopper plague came next year, there would be people who could "fight side by side" with him! Moreover, the grasshopper was rich in protein, which was also very beneficial to the human body. As for how to make the students willing to eat the grasshopper, he already had a plan in mind!
"Wow ~! Thank you, Young Master ~! "
The group of children cheered and immediately scattered. It seemed like they went back to call their friends to get tools to catch the grasshopper.
"Hey ~! Da Niu, come here! "
Li Zexuan quickly pressed on Da Niu's shoulder to prevent him from moving.
"Young Master ~?"
Da Niu was confused. He didn't know why Li Zexuan called him.
"Here, I'll give you five copper coins. Give me your basket of grasshopper!"
Li Zexuan took out five copper coins from his pouch and handed it to Da Niu.
He also didn't know why there were copper coins in his pouch. He guessed that Han Yuxi put them there before he left in the morning? Ah, it's good to have a considerate wife ~!
Da Niu looked at the bamboo basket in his hand and reacted. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Young Master, take the bamboo basket. I don't want your money!"
After saying that, he ran away like a wisp of smoke.
"Hey ~! This kid ~! "
Li Zexuan shook his head, then took the basket of grasshopper and walked towards Yanhuang College.
…
"Da Hu, come here ~!"
In the kitchen of Yanhuang College's cafeteria, Li Zexuan put his hands behind his back and shouted at a fat guy who was instructing people to wash vegetables.
This person was the brother of Wang Erhu, the head chef of Zuixian Restaurant. He was also the current "head chef" of Yanhuang College's cafeteria — Wang Dahu. In terms of talent in cooking, Wang Dahu was not as good as Wang Erhu, but they weren't too far apart. Li Zexuan saw that this person was honest and sincere, so he called him over.
"Yamachō, why are you here ~?"
Hearing Li Zexuan's voice, Wang Dahu wiped his sweat and hurried over.
"Da Hu, are you busy now ~? I have something for you ~! "
Li Zexuan nodded and asked softly.
"I'm not busy, I'm not busy! Yamachō, if you have anything, just tell me! "
There were still more than two hours before the students' dinner time, so he wasn't very busy now.
"Okay, come with me. I'll teach you how to cook a dish ~!"
Li Zexuan squeezed the bamboo basket in his sleeve and said to Wang Dahu.
After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards a small cubicle on the side.
"A dish? Did Yamachō invent a new dish ~? "
Wang Dahu, who was behind him, thought to himself.
