The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 289: Taking the lead in taking locust powder

"The First Emperor offered sacrifices to the Wei River and a black dragon appeared!"

"Liu Ji swung his sword to kill the white snake!"

"Fox Ming Daze Township!"

"Even Zhang Jiao said that the sky is dead and Huang Tiandang stands up for this and other disloyal remarks!"

"Old Li Tou, you have been on the battlefield for more than ten years, and you still remain unmoved in the face of fierce enemies. No one dares to be disobedient wherever the sword in your hand points."

"You have the most terrifying power in the world in your hands. Why are you disturbed by mere locusts today?"

"What is heaven?"

"Heaven is the power in your hands. Gods and ghosts have great power to move mountains and reclaim seas. Old Li Tou, are you worse than them?"

"In the ninth year of Zhenguan, benevolent policies were implemented everywhere, and people all over the world praised him. This is like the rivers and seas having their sources, the tall trees having deep roots, and the eagles having wings."

"Make good use of these powers, Old Li Tou, you will be the king yourself."

Zhao Chen's voice seemed to have a special magic power, which made Li Shimin feel inexplicably excited.

Hearing this made his blood boil.

He, Li Shimin, has this power, why should he be the son of heaven?

He himself is this day.

The unique heaven of Datang!

Aren't the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors also gods?

So why can't he, Li Shimin, be the immortal of the Tang Dynasty?

"You're right, I'm very satisfied!" Li Shimin nodded, his expression not as ugly as before.

But Zhao Chen obviously hasn't told himself how to solve the locust plague.

"It's just locusts, just send someone to catch them. Let the people catch them all before they grow mature wings. In order to ensure the people's livelihood, I can buy these locusts for two pounds and one penny." "Zhao Chen said to Li Shimin again.

Just these words made Li Shimin stunned.

I almost fell off the stool.

The words he spoke before were righteous and majestic. Why did he suddenly change his face to this?

Zhao Chen talks so much about feelings,

Just want to buy these locusts?

Dirty businessman ways!

"Boy Zhao, I feel that Wei Zheng should teach you a lesson. You are a dignified county prince, but now you are talking about businessmen, and your philistine face is right in front of you. I feel very embarrassed!" Li Shimin glared fiercely! Zhao Chen.

"There's nothing wrong with doing business. It's just to make some small money. How about you pay for these locusts yourself, Old Li Tou?" Zhao Chen looked at Li Shimin with a smile.

Where did Li Shimin have the spare money? He quickly waved his hands.

"Since you agreed, it's hard to snatch it away, isn't it?"

"Actually, sometimes doing business is quite interesting!" Li Shimin said a little sincerely.

Thinking that his eldest son, the future crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, was so virtuous.

Li Shimin felt like he had one head and two heads.

"Aren't you worried that the acquisition of Locusts will provoke the wrath of heaven?" Old Li turned around and was more curious about the acquisition of Locusts proposed by Zhao Chen.

This is so good, what are you doing with the locusts?

"God's anger? It's just a fool's trick. How many locusts did I eat when I was a child?"

"Look, aren't you living a carefree life now?" Zhao Chen poured himself a cup of tea, as if he was reminiscing about the taste of locusts.

"Marquis Zhao, do you eat locusts?" Wei Zheng almost pinched his own neck.

He had never heard of eating locusts.

Thinking of the disgusting appearance of locusts, I couldn't help but feel sick to my stomach.

"There are so many ways to eat locusts. You can fry them, braise them, stir-fry them, roast them over a fire, and remove the wings and stinging feet. It's a delicacy." Zhao Chen said with a smile.

I ate locusts in my previous life, and it was the first time I vomited and felt comfortable.

But later, I became obsessed with this taste.

Wei Zheng couldn't help but shuddered all over when he saw Zhao Chen's reminiscing look.

He wondered if he had eaten these things at Zhao Chen's place.

If he really had eaten it, then he...

Wei Zheng carefully stayed away from Zhao Chen's position, a panic flashed in his eyes.

After all, Old Li Tou was a man who had experienced great storms, but even locusts could not scare him.

"You bought this locust to satisfy your appetite? Also, how do these locusts taste?" Seeing Zhao Chen so fascinated, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel curious.

"How many locusts are there in the world, how many can I eat by myself?"

"As for the taste of the locusts, it's actually similar to the taste of chicken and duck meat, just more tender and smooth."

"Anyway, in a few months, there will be enough locusts to eat. When the time comes, I will prepare a nice plate for you, Old Li Tou."

"Hey, Doctor Wei, what are you doing standing at the door? Don't worry, I will prepare a plate for you..."

"vomit--"

Before Zhao Chen finished speaking, Wei Zheng covered his mouth and retched.

He rushed out of the tavern as if he was running away.

Obviously, he just wanted to stay away from Zhao Chen.

Li Shimin was extremely happy.

"Boy Zhao, I'm waiting for you to cook with locusts for me. If this works, I can turn a natural disaster into a blessing."

"The previous theory that the locust plague was a punishment from heaven will be completely reduced to a joke. I am waiting for you!"

"Of course this is easy to say, but Lao Litou, you shouldn't have to support me with some money. After all, this..."

"You're dreaming, I have no money!" Before Zhao Chen could finish asking for money from Old Li Tou, he was interrupted by Old Li Tou.

"You kid is using locusts to make a fortune, but I don't know about it, and you still want me to give you support money. Do you really think I'm a fool?" Li Shimin said dissatisfied again.

But he had a plan in mind.

He knew that Zhao Chen planned to use this to make money, so could he also get a share of the pie?

"Zhao Chen, actually, it's not impossible to give you some money, but you have to tell me, what else can these locusts do besides eating them?" Li Shimin was like the queen who tricked Snow White into eating poisonous apples. He looked at Zhao Chen with a smile on his face.

"Locusts are edible and can also be used as medicine."

"Usually boiled in water, dried in the sun, and ground into powder, it can completely replace eggs and duck eggs."

"In addition, locusts are also used as traditional Chinese medicine to treat my aunt's qi disease!"

"The most important use is that locusts are used as medicine to treat night blindness." Zhao Chen and Li Shimin briefly explained.

However, Zhao Chen's explanation was easy to understand.

Anyway, Li Shimin knew that these locusts were of great use.

The only thing that made him curious was the night blindness.

Something unheard of!

"What is night blindness?" Li Shimin asked, like a curious baby.

"Ordinary people eat too little meat, resulting in malnutrition. When walking at night, they cannot see the road clearly. This is night blindness."

"Locust powder can improve this situation. After all, compared to meat, locust powder is cheaper." Zhao Chen likes this feeling of solving people's doubts.

Especially when the person opposite is Old Li Tou.

Looking at his eyes that gradually widened in disbelief, Zhao Chen felt satisfied.

Old Li became more and more confused as he listened.

But he knew very well what he should ask, "Then how do you sell locust powder?"

People all believe that locusts are a punishment from God and represent God's will.

They dare not offend God, let alone eat these "messengers" from God!

"In order to eliminate the locust plague, Lao Litou, you shouldn't mind taking the lead in taking locust powder..."
