Chapter 259 Recipe
Ye Wanqing looked normal.

Lu Jilian pursed his lips.

Suddenly, Chu Anlan's voice rang out from across the street: "Fellow villagers, don't miss it if you pass by...

I heard a tip from a miracle doctor, who said eating locusts is good for the human body.

Therefore, I specially brought people to catch many fresh and plump locusts, cooked them into various flavors, and invited everyone to taste them together..."

Ye Chenxi took the gong from Mo Yan and knocked it: "Anyone want to try the golden and crispy fried locusts?"

Chu Anlan turned sideways and said with a smile: "Ye Chenxi, you can do it!"

Ye Chenxi was greatly encouraged and struck the gong again: "Don't be afraid, locusts taste really good.

If you don’t believe me, I’ll eat it and show you!”

As he said this, he reached out his hand and asked the attendant to pick up a locust with chopsticks for him. He put the locust into his mouth and squinted his eyes while eating: "It's delicious!"

After saying that, he asked someone to pass some more to him.

The people nearby couldn't help but ask: "Is this really edible? Are you really not lying to us?
The effects that the body said...are they true?
Locusts are insects after all, so it won't be a problem if you eat too many of them, right?"

Ye Chenxi's cheeks were stuffed bulging, and he was eating happily. He couldn't help but look at Chu Anlan.

Chu Anlan smiled and said: "Even if it is an elixir, it is impossible for it to take effect instantly.

What's more, locusts are a food supplement.

If you don't believe what the miracle doctor said, you don't have to eat it. Just catch it and burn it or bury it.

Anyone who eats it will know its specific effects and benefits.”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, picked up a locust leg and threw it into his mouth, then tilted his head back to catch it and ate it with great relish.

After eating, he enthusiastically asked the middle-aged man closest to him: "Brother, do you want to try it? It tastes really good!

It was late, so we ate it all by ourselves.”

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Ye Chenxi next to him had been eating for a while, he readily responded, "Eat!"

Chu Anlan was delighted and turned around and ordered: "Give more to this big brother!"

The attendant immediately took out the "small bowl" made of rice leaves that he had prepared in advance and gave a bowl of locusts to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man took it and poured it into his mouth in one breath.

After tasting it, his eyes brightened up a lot.

The onlookers couldn't help asking, "How does it taste? How does it taste?"

The man nodded vigorously: "Delicious!"

As soon as the words fell, a group of people rushed over: "Let me have a taste!"

The entrance of the teahouse was instantly surrounded by crowds of people.

Those who came forward were all young or middle-aged men, and there were also some teenagers...

Soon, all the pots of locusts were empty.

At this time, County Magistrate Cheng Zhe looked over curiously: "What happened over there?"

The yamen runner said, "Your Excellency, Prince Dun and Young Master Ye brought a lot of cooked locusts from their palace and invite the people to taste them together."

Cheng Zhe couldn't help but look at Ye Chenting: "They..."

Ye Chenting said gently: "They have been busy for most of the day."

Cheng Zhe's eyes flickered: "They have worked so hard. As the county magistrate, I should set an example."

As he said this, he walked towards the teahouse which was surrounded by people: "Please give me a portion, so that I can try it too."

Chu Anlan looked up at him, his smile widening: "Okay, okay!"

He simply asked someone to pack a lot of them and handed them to Cheng Zhe.

Then, he looked at Lu Jilian who was standing outside the crowd, laughed, packed a large portion with his own hands, and handed it to Mo Yan: "Send these to Lu Jilian."

Mo Yan gritted his teeth and gave Lu Jilian a large portion of locusts: "Lu... Lord Lu... This is given to you by my son."

Lu Jilian pursed his lips and said nothing.

Ye Chenting couldn't help but worry about Chu Anlan.

Seeing that Mo Yan's forehead was almost covered with cold sweat, Ye Chenting took the initiative to help: "Give it to me, I can..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Jilian reached out: "Come down." Ye Chenting looked at him: "Don't force it."

"No need to force it." Lu Jilian said in a very calm voice: "The prince can eat it, the princess can eat it, and I can eat it too."

As he spoke, he looked down at the locusts in his hand, without frowning, picked up one and put it in his mouth, chewing it slowly.

Ye Chenting was slightly worried.

Suddenly, Lu Jilian held out his hand: "Brother Chen Ting, would you like to try it?"

Ye Chenting wanted to say that he had already tried it, but when he saw Lu Jilian frowning slightly, he couldn't bear to refuse.

The two of them shared the food.

At the same time, Chu Anlan's attendants distributed several more locusts and sent them to officials standing far away from the crowd.

Several elderly officials from the Ministry of Rites refused to accept the offer no matter what.

So, the younger officials each got an extra portion and started tasting the locusts in the street.

Someone said while eating: "You know what, it tastes good."

"The prince's cook must have been brought all the way from the palace, right? Prince Dun is a pampered child, so his cooks are all the best."

"It could be the cook of the Princess's residence. Don't worry, just eat it."

"I'm not afraid. After all, the prince and the princess are not afraid."

"..."

The older officials of the Ministry of Rites trembled when they saw this: "How shameful, how shameful..."

"Exactly! Locusts are a punishment from heaven, how dare you eat them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a young and lively official came over holding a "small bowl" made of rice leaves and said, "My lords, would you like to try it?"

"No!" snorted the elderly ceremonial officer.

The young official was a little disappointed: "But it tastes really good. The people are busy preparing to eliminate the locusts, shouldn't we set an example?

If we officials don’t eat it, I’m afraid the common people won’t dare to eat it either.”

Ceremonial officer: “…”

At this time, people passing by on the street looked over here again and again, and one of them whispered: "Even officials dare not eat locusts, can they really be eaten?"

"How about we not join in the fun?"

Upon hearing this, the young official immediately said in a serious tone: "I can testify that locusts are edible."

As he spoke, he took one with his bare hands and handed it to the oldest etiquette officer closest to him: "Teacher, eat one and show them."

The elderly ceremonial officer was tricked and was so angry that his hair and beard trembled.

The young official spoke again: "Teacher?"

"Stop shouting. Are you afraid that others don't know you are my student?" The older ceremonial officer scolded angrily, then made up his mind and took the locust.

"Teacher, how does it taste?" the young official asked with a smile.

Several other elderly ceremonial officers also widened their eyes in disbelief.

The senior ceremonial officer chewed it for a few times and said with a cold face: "It tastes very good, everyone come and have a taste.

Later, I ordered people to catch more locusts and preserve them in ice containers, and bring them back to the capital for my colleagues in the court to taste. "

Let’s eat together.

If there is a punishment from heaven, we will all suffer it together.

……

The long street was crowded with people.

The locusts they brought were all eaten up in less than an incense stick of time.

Someone thought it tasted good, so he asked, "This locust tastes really good, crispy, fragrant and delicious. I wonder how to cook it like this?"

Chu Anlan was enthusiastic and said, "I brought the recipe. I'll have someone read it first and then post a copy next to the notice.

If you didn’t hear it clearly, go back and take a look yourself.”

Then, he handed the recipe to Ye Chenxi and said, "Chenxi, read it."
