The Great Tang: World Martial God

Chapter 621: : Locust Feast

Qingzhou.

Jinhui sprinkled on the earth, shining on the huge wooden stage.

Zhang Gao's vermilion cloth hanging from the back of the stage looked very happy. In front of the red cloth, the nanmu long table, bordered by gold wire, is particularly noble.

A two-armed straw locust placed on the luxurious long table seemed a bit out of tune with the atmosphere, even with a touch of weirdness.

The citizens of Qingzhou, who had received an announcement from the upright official Zhao Limin early in the morning, squeezed under the stage, looked at everything on the stage, gave pointers, and talked a lot.

"Why is this? Why are locusts weaving so huge?"

"This 80% wants to hold a festival, burn the locusts, and pray for peace."

"Yes, locusts are everywhere now, burning these crop-grabbing pests in exchange for our Qingzhou's cleanness."

"Don't talk nonsense, I heard that this locust is to punish the changes in the palace that year..."

The other side.

In the house, Tang Hao held a plate of fried grasshoppers and leaned in front of Li Zhi.

"Quickly, quickly, eat one, taste it first, and perform it in front of the people later."

Li Zhi's eyes widened, staring at Tang Hao, then looking at the uneven slender legs and feet full of the plate, looking at Tang Hao in disbelief.

"I'll eat it? Still in front of the people of Qingzhou?"

"Sister-in-law, are you teasing me like this?"

Li Zhi has tasted all the delicacies of mountains and seas in the imperial palace, but it is precisely this fried locust that he has never tasted.

Don't say it was a taste, even if it was caught, Li Zhi would never dare.

With a kick on Li Zhi's ass, Tang Hao glared at Li Zhi and said.

"You are the prince's grandson, representing the entire Datang imperial family. If you don't taste it, who will taste it?"

"A dignified eight-foot man, so afraid of this inch-long pest? Will he lose the face of the royal family if he goes out?"

Li Zhi's immature face suddenly wrinkled into the appearance of an old man. He turned his head to the side without closing his eyes, looking at the yellowing locusts, and he was unable to get his hands off.

"I...I don't want to..."

Looking at that posture, Tang Hao also knew that no matter how hard he was, he wouldn't be able to taste it.

Moving away the silver plate, Tang Hao looked impatient, picked up a crunch that stuffed it in his mouth and chewed it.

"Yes! Come on stage later, if you don't eat it, don't talk about noodles from now on, it's the Marquis Mansion, you don't want to enter it either."

Speaking of noodles, in Li Zhi's mind, there was a picture of the first time he tasted it at the Marquis Mansion that day.

The pungency that stimulates the taste buds, plus the marinated meat pieces, together with the soft and elastic noodles, the mouth is tender, sour and spicy, and the rich soup is unstoppable.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi already had fluid in his mouth, and couldn't wait to eat a bowl more beautifully.

"A locust, a bowl of noodles!"

When he said this, Li Zhi had already endured the tumbling in his stomach.

The back who stepped out of the house choked and said loudly.

"make a deal."

In a sound of astonishment, Tang Hao dragged a covered silver plate and slowly stepped onto the stage.

After placing the silver plate on the table, Tang Hao smiled, glanced at the curious subjects staring at the silver plate, and said.

"Children of Qingzhou, there are now locusts everywhere! Many people are miserable."

"However, everyone does not know that this migratory locust is not a natural disaster, but a kind of auspicious thing that the heaven has pityed on."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the audience was shocked, looking at each other and talking.

"It's utterly deceiving, how can this pest be eaten!"

"Yes! How can this Chaoyang Commander turn black and white and describe the pests as auspicious!"

"I'm afraid it's another trick to fool the people!"

The questioning sound in his ears was noisy, like a roar of a horse and a horse, but Tang Hao turned a deaf ear.

After all, in the eyes of ancient people, such things are contrary to common sense and beyond recognition.

Waving his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, Tang Hao continued.

"In fact, locusts have been recorded in medical classics as long as they are used as medicine. They can eliminate swelling and detoxification, and nourish the body. It is a kind of diet therapy."

During the words, Tang Hao slowly uncovered the lid on the silver plate, and a large plate of fried locusts appeared in front of everyone. Pointing to a large plate of locusts, Tang Hao continued.

"Tang is not talented, and today he discovered a new way of eating locusts, which he shared with the people of Qingzhou."

Wow.

Tang Hao's move was no less than stabbing a hornet's nest, everyone was in an uproar, and the whole venue was noisy.

The white-faced scholar standing behind the crowd saw this scene, his instinct was numb, and his throat was hissing.

"Shameless government! There are such tricks to fool the people!"

The great Confucian families who had colluded beforehand gave each other a wink and screamed.

"Locusts are pests that cannibalize crops! A filthy thing! It must be poisonous!"

"As a court commander, trying to poison the people in vain, what is your intention!"

"Damn it, hate it! You even used such a low-level damage trick! You try one first!"

Hiss and howls resounded loudly in the back row of the venue, and many people looked back one after another.

Wearing an elegant Confucian robe and holding a folding fan, he is a bachelor of the great Confucian family!

The great Confucian family is a representative of knowledge and a symbol of talent in Qingzhou.

Since these people bluntly said that this locust is a poisonous insect, why don't the people of Qingzhou believe it?

Many people in the back row also roared, waved their fists, and roared in resentment.

"It doesn't matter if it's not for the people! It's unpredictable to think of poisoning the people!"

"Yes! I can't follow his way! Don't be fooled by demon words."

"How can such a demon word be uttered from the mouth of a court order official!"
