Pei Ji looked at the officials who were frantically fighting for the locusts in the court, his face filled with disbelief.
How was this possible?
Aren't locusts pests?
How could it be eaten?
Regardless of whether he believed it or not, the ministers were fighting like crazy.
Even the officials in his faction could not resist the taste of the stir-fried locusts.
Seeing how everyone was enjoying it, Pei Ji also wanted to try it and see if it was really that exaggerated.
However!
By the time he wanted to try one, it was already gone!
Everyone's plates were empty.
Even the residue on the flat plate was licked clean.
It was smooth and shiny, and it was even cleaner than being brushed!
Pei Ji's eyes almost popped out!
What the f * ck!
These people!
Had he never eaten anything in his eight lifetimes?
A hungry ghost reincarnated!
Not even dregs were left!
Hence, he decided to do it.
He could only look at Li Er's plate.
Unlike the other ministers, each of them could only taste a few.
Li Er had an entire plate!
Sensing Pei Ji's covetous gaze, Li Er subconsciously protected the plate, as if he was afraid that Pei Ji would come over and snatch it.
Pei Ji was stunned!
This was…
Isn't His Majesty's reaction a little too strong?
"Minister Pei, you still haven't tasted it?”Li Er asked when he saw his eager eyes.
"Your Majesty, this lowly subject has indeed not tasted it.”Pei Ji looked at Li Er and said.
"Alright then, I'll give you one to have a taste.”
Li Er picked left and right from his plate and picked the smallest and thinnest one for the chamberlain to give to Pei Ji.
He looked at the small locust in the bowl.
Pei Ji's eyes twitched!
This was…
He was too stingy!
However, no matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat. He wanted to see what kind of magic these locusts had to make these ministers fight over them crazily.
When Pei Ji picked up the locust and was about to eat it, the officials beside him all stared at the golden and crispy locust.
He wanted to snatch it and eat it.
Sensing the malicious gazes around him, Pei Ji was so frightened that he quickly put it into his mouth.
Instantly!
A rich fragrance suddenly bloomed in his mouth.
Numb, spicy, crispy, fragrant, crispy!
The five flavors stimulated his taste buds!
It made him feel as if he had grown wings and was flying in the sky!
Delicious!
Delicious!
It was so comfortable!
How could a mere locust be so delicious?!
Seeing Li Er give Pei Ji a locust, Cheng Yaojin, who had been beaten black and blue by Yuchi Gong and the others, licked his face and said.
"Your Majesty! I, Old Cheng, haven't eaten yet? Can you give me a taste?"
Puff!
When Yuchi Gong and the others beside him heard Cheng Yaojin's words, they almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Motherf * cker!
A plate of food was eaten by a shameless person like you!
He actually said that he had never eaten it before!
Where was his face?
Face? What was that?
"Get lost! You silly fool, pretend I didn't see you eat that entire plate! If they wanted to split it, they should split it with Shu Bao, Jing De, and the others.”
Li Er scolded with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes! Your Majesty, please give us two? The plate that was just brought to our side was all snatched by this inferior product.”Yuchi Gong quickly said.
Li Er was speechless.
I shouldn't have said anything!
However!
Since he had said it, he had to fulfill it.
He could only share the remaining delicacies on the plate with Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, and the others with a pained expression.
Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, and the others took the locusts from Li Erfen and started eating happily.
"The Marquis Champion is truly a god! It could actually turn locusts into such delicious food! It smells so good!"
"Yes! That's right!"
The few of them praised Han Qiu as they ate, their expressions full of admiration!
Cheng Yaojin looked gloomily at Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, and the others who were happily eating the stir-fried locusts.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have said it!
Not only did he not get it, but he also helped others.
After the farce of snatching locusts, the court once again returned to peace.
All of them were well-dressed and had solemn expressions.
There was no sign that they were about to fight over the stir-fried locusts.
As expected of a member of society!
The speed at which he changed his face was really fast!
I'm really impressed!
Han Qiu shifted her gaze to Pei Ji. Seeing that he still had a face full of lingering memories, she could not help but reveal a playful gaze.
"What does Lord Pei think of these locusts? Can it be eaten?"
"It can eat! Of course it could be eaten! It's delicious!" Pei Ji answered almost subconsciously.
However, when he saw Han Qiu's playful gaze, his old face instantly blushed.
It was f * cking awkward!
He was the one who objected the most just now!
But now, he was praising himself to the heavens. It was like he had raised his own hand to slap his own face.
"Your Majesty, as long as we publicize the method of eating locusts and encourage the people to eat locusts.”
"This way, not only can we solve the locust disaster, but we can also alleviate the hunger of the victims to a certain extent.”
Han Qiu said.
This time, no one objected to Han Qiu.
Since Pei Ji had been beaten down and was silent, how could the small shrimps below them dare to be nosy?
"Good! Let's do as the Marquis Champion says!"
"Make the cooking method of locusts public and let the people hunt locusts.”
Li Er directly clapped his hands, his voice revealing a deep excitement.
The big problem that had been troubling him was finally solved!
"Your Majesty is wise!"
All the officials bowed and flattered Li Er.
Han Qiu pursed her lips when she heard that.
I was the one who suggested it.
Why did it become His Majesty's holiness in your mouths?
What else did Li Er do during the whole process besides eating?
A bunch of bootlickers!
he...tui！
