"Your Highness, this servant doesn't understand. Why are you still eating when His Majesty already said that this thing isn't beneficial to your Qi illness? These locusts aren't anything good ~! "
In Changle Palace, a purple-clothed palace maid stood by Changle's side and whispered carefully.
It seemed that this palace maid should be Changle's intimate person. Otherwise, she wouldn't know that this Meteoric Success was made with locusts. As she spoke, she glanced at the plate of golden Meteoric Success in front of Changle. When she thought that it was actually locusts inside, she couldn't help but feel nauseous. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, she probably would have vomited.
Changle's face didn't show any discomfort. The little girl very quietly used her chopsticks to put the Meteoric Success into her mouth one by one. Her movements were neither hurried nor slow, and her movements were very elegant. When she heard the palace maid's question, Changle lightly opened her red lips and smiled faintly.
"Imperial Father also heard from the imperial physicians that locusts can't treat illnesses, but I believe in Brother Xiaoxuan. Brother Xiaoxuan can treat General Qin's illness, so his medical skills are naturally the best. If he says that this thing is good for my body, then it's definitely good ~!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Changle's eyes lit up abruptly, and she picked up a piece of Meteoric Prosperity before looking at the palace maid and saying, "Moreover, this Meteoric Prosperity that Big Brother Xiaoxuan made is really delicious. Li 'er, quickly come over and try it!"
"Ah ~?"
The palace maid named Li 'er was shocked, and then her face was full of bitterness. She secretly blamed herself for talking too much just now. Now it seemed that she was really asking for trouble!
"Your Highness, this is from Li Xiannan to treat your illness. This servant can't eat it ~!"
Li 'er waved her hand and quickly said.
Changle's beautiful eyes immediately curved into two small crescent moons. She smiled and said, "It's fine. Brother Xiaoxuan sent a lot of Meteoric Success ~! I can't finish it alone. Li 'er, you can help me eat some. "
This was really asking for Qingqing's life. Li-er knew that she couldn't refuse anymore. She could only walk in front of Changle with a bitter face. She cupped her hands and went to receive the piece of Meteoric Success from Changle's chopsticks.
Changle pursed her lips and smiled. "Why go through so much trouble? Come, Li 'er, quickly open your mouth!"
Li 'er's delicate figure trembled, and she was truly overwhelmed by the unexpected favor. She had the intention to refuse, but Changle was looking at her with a burning gaze, so she could only obediently open her small mouth. Not long after, a piece of charred and tender meat was sent into her mouth.
"Hehe, alright, Li 'er, hurry up and eat. It's really delicious!"
Changle made a victorious expression, put away her chopsticks, and giggled.
Li-er was helpless. She could only forcefully endure the nausea in her stomach and started to use her teeth to bite that piece of meat in her mouth.
"It's rare for His Highness to be so happy. If it's a locust, then so be it. After all, it won't kill anyone! At most, I'll just rinse my mouth a few more times after eating ~! "
Li 'er thought in her heart.
To her surprise, when she bit into the meat, there was no disgusting smell. Instead, there was a strong aroma of eggs and meat. She couldn't help but widen her eyes. Was this the meat of a locust? Why is it so delicious ~?
"How is it? Is it delicious ~?"
Changle looked at Li 'er expectantly and asked.
"Oh ~! Delicious! Your Highness, this' Meteoric 'is really delicious ~! Li County's men are really amazing! Even the meat of a locust can be so delicious ~! "
Li 'er was a little embarrassed as she licked the minced meat at the corner of her mouth with the tip of her tongue and smiled excitedly at Changle.
"Hehe, since you think it's delicious, then you can eat with me in the future ~! Anyway, I can't finish this amount by myself ~! "
Changle looked extremely happy. Of course, she also had a reason to be happy because there wouldn't be someone watching strangely from the side when she ate locusts in the future.
"Your Highness, this isn't too good, right?"
Li 'er was a little hesitant. To be honest, the' Meteoric 'she ate just now was indeed very delicious. She liked to eat it very much, but if she ate it with Changle every day, it seemed a little out of line.
"What's wrong with this ~? I let you eat with me, so just eat ~! "
…
While Changle was recruiting friends to eat locusts, outside the palace, there was another scene.
After Da Niu and Er Niu of the Han Family Manor found a way to make a fortune by selling locusts, they really couldn't be stopped. Every morning, they woke up earlier than the chickens. The farmlands in the manor became their main battlefield. They could be seen wandering around the farmlands all day long.
As the news spread, more and more children found out that the locusts could be sold for money. This group grew stronger day by day. Naturally, the parents of the children also noticed the abnormality of their children.
On one hand, they were afraid of the Locust God. On the other hand, they were worried about the huge profit brought by something as insignificant as the locusts. These parents suddenly hesitated.
There were those who agreed and those who disagreed.
Those who agreed naturally encouraged all the children in their family to join the locust-catching army. Some parents even rolled up their sleeves and joined the battle personally. Those who objected captured their own children and forbade them from catching locusts in the fields. However, when they saw that their other children had earned a lot of copper coins from catching locusts, they were envious and tried their best to escape from the cage.
In fact, they were not the only ones who were envious. Their parents were also secretly envious. Logically speaking, one catty of locusts could be sold for three copper coins. This was not a low price. If they did nothing but go to the farmlands to catch locusts, if they were lucky, the day's profit would be equal to the day's wages at the docks.
Most importantly, catching locusts was not only a job for adult men, but also for the elderly, women, and children. Think about it, if the whole family was involved, then the daily profit would be …
Just like that, when they saw other people getting rich, many who were against the idea of catching locusts were shaken. Gradually, they joined the ranks of the locust-catching army.
Actually, compared to using locusts to make food, it was Li Zexuan's real purpose to shake people's attitudes towards locusts. Since these deep-rooted beliefs were not easy to change, then he would use subtle benefits to assimilate them ~!
As a result, the number of locusts purchased by the academy's cafeteria skyrocketed. Initially, Soaring Star was only provided to the students in the special training class. However, after a few days, the head chef realized that there were too many locusts. The students in the special training class could not finish them all. Therefore, after asking for permission from Li Zexuan, Soaring Star was provided to all the students and teachers in the academy. At the time, Li Tai and Sun Zifan were overjoyed.
The delicacy of Soaring Star captured the taste buds of many students. What was the most popular dish at the academy now? It had to be none other than Soaring Star!
