When Li Shi Min saw Lin Feng picking up the locusts without any resistance and eating them…
After his heart went through a battle between heaven and earth, he actually stretched out his trembling chopsticks and picked up the plate of fried locusts in front of Lin Feng.
"Hey, Your Majesty... He had to be careful, Old Li. After all, we have never eaten locusts before!”
When he noticed Li Shimin's actions, Du Ruhui was so shocked that he almost spilled the beans.
If he hadn't seen Li Shiming's eyes full of warning, he would have been exposed.
"If Shopkeeper Lin can eat it, then why can't I? Old Du, try it too!"
"Ah?"
"What? If it weren't for the fact that you guys often take care of my business, I wouldn't have given it to you.”
"That's right, we're all old friends. Would Shopkeeper Lin harm us? Old Du, quickly try it, don't waste Shopkeeper Lin's good intentions!”
Li Shi Min's chopsticks were still hanging in the air, but he couldn't get over it.
Du Ruhui interrupted.
Naturally, he would not let go of this ready-made lab rat.
"I... I... I'll eat it, okay?!"
Du Ruhui hesitated for a long time, and finally picked up a locust under Li Shiming's oppressive gaze.
After hesitating for a while, he finally held the momentum of facing death unflinchingly.
She closed her eyes and stuffed it into her mouth.
When the locusts entered his mouth, a fragrance immediately spread in his mouth.
Du Ruhui subconsciously took a bite.
His originally closed eyes instantly widened!
"How is it? I didn't lie to you, right? Come, come, take another sip of wine. That taste is better than a living god!”
Lin Feng stared at Du Ruhui's wide-opened eyes and was truly worried that his eyeballs might pop out.
So she smiled and poured him a glass of wine.
Du Ruhui, who had just tasted the delicious food, looked at the wine in front of him and completely forgot about Li Shimin's warning.
He picked up his glass and took a big gulp.
"Ha... Shopkeeper Lin is not lying to me! It was truly a rare delicacy in the human world! I didn't expect this locust to be so delicious despite its ordinary appearance. This old man has lived for decades in vain!”
Du Ruhui said as he poured himself another glass of wine.
Before Li Shi Min could react.
He raised his neck and directly went down.
The wine that His Majesty paid for tasted different!
"Is it really that delicious?"
Li Shiming saw that Du Ruhui didn't seem to be faking it, so he made up his mind and directly picked up two locusts and put them into his mouth to chew.
After that, he could not stop what he was doing.
He realized that after letting go of his fear of locusts.
This thing was really not bad!
"Shopkeeper Lin, according to what you said, if the farmers raise a large number of chickens and ducks and tell the truth that the locusts are edible, can this locust plague be cured?”
Li Shi Min ate fried locusts and drank wine.
He didn't forget to continue discussing the locust problem with Lin Feng.
This matter was an unsolvable problem that had stumped several generations!
If he was to be dealt with by Li Shi Min…
Then who would dare to say that he, Li Shi Min, was not worthy of being the emperor? Who still dared to say that he was immoral? Who would still dare to write a letter asking him to reflect on himself three times?
"Of course it's not that simple. These methods were only useful after the locust plague broke out. They were only temporary solutions. If he wanted to prevent the locust plague from erupting, he had to start from the roots.”
"Oh? Then what is this root?"
"Locusts will lay their eggs in the soil, and they will lay their eggs together in groups. They will leave some small holes in the ground, and locusts like drought, so when there is a drought every year, the eggs of the locusts will break out together. This caused a locust plague."
"Therefore, if we want to prevent the locust plague from erupting as much as possible, we have to get rid of these eggs buried in the ground. Eliminate the locust plague from the source."
After hearing Lin Feng's words, Li Shiming and Du Ruhui stopped what they were doing.
This was Lin Feng's method of governance?
It was actually that simple!
However, what made them feel the most inconceivable was…
Such a simple method, but none of the officials had thought of it.
However, this small shop owner who was hidden in the market seemed to have known about it long ago.
Was this a coincidence, or was he hiding in the city?
"Shopkeeper, prepare a few side dishes and a pot of good wine!”
While Li Shimin and Du Ruhui were deep in thought, two more groups of customers arrived at Lin Feng's shop.
After seeing that there were customers, Lin Feng, the shopkeeper, naturally couldn't sit here drinking and chatting.
After smiling at Old Li and Old Du, he told them sneakily.
"Here, I've roughly told you all the methods to deal with the locusts. If you have a way, you might really be able to get into the official career with this method. When the time comes, when you become an official and become rich, don't forget to get me! You guys can eat first. I have to go and greet the guests!”
After saying that, he didn't wait for the two of them to speak.
Lin Feng had already walked far away.
Looking at his retreating figure, Li Shiming and Du Ruhui suddenly felt that the delicious food and wine of the past had become tasteless.
In fact, they even felt lost.
"Let's go."
Li Shi Min put down his chopsticks, stood up, and walked out of the door.
Du Ruhui saw Li Shimin leave and didn't hesitate.
After taking out a silver ingot and placing it on the table, he followed Li Shiming out.
As the emperor and prime minister, Li Shimin and Du Ruhui naturally couldn't carry dozens of pounds of copper coins with them.
Hence, every time they came to Lin Feng's place to eat, they would always use silver to pay the bill.
However, Lin Feng never gave change…
