When we arrived at the house where Yu Jinshu lived, we saw a large group of villagers gathered around a fire. The fire was burning big and the aroma of meat was getting stronger and stronger.
"Oh no, oh no, such a good girl was eaten by them like this."
Zhang Li ran, sword drawn, and shouted at the villagers, "How dare you eat people?"
The villagers looked over here and saw three handsome young men running towards them with swords in hand.
Especially the one in the middle who looked the most handsome, with a frighteningly cold expression on his face.
The villagers fled in all directions.
They thought they had run into someone trying to steal their food.
After the villagers dispersed, Pu Kun could see clearly that Yu Jinshu was sitting neatly on the ground beside the fire, roasting something on a bamboo stick.
Zhang Li and Du Jiangong both breathed a sigh of relief. They walked a few steps to the fire and watched as Yu Jinshu actually used bamboo sticks to string the locusts together and burned them on the fire.
"Brother Zhang, Brother Du, come, have a taste."
Zhang Li and Du Jiangong both shook their heads.
"No." "I won't taste it either."
Yu Jinshu turned around to look for the villagers again. Seeing them lying in their houses, he popped his head out to check on them. He waved and called out to them, "Come and eat! Why did you run away?"
She looked at Zhang Li and Du Jiangong again, "Why did you draw your swords? You scared them all away."
Zhang Li looked embarrassed: "We thought they roasted and ate you."
He and Du Jiangong put their swords back into their scabbards.
Yu Jinshu chuckled: "You actually thought they would roast and eat me?"
Du Jiangong said, "You saw them roasting human flesh on the road. You were all alone here, and they didn't know you. It's not surprising that they roasted and ate you, seeing how tender and fair you were."
Yu Jinshu took a bite of the roasted locust and said, "Don't worry, I roasted this for them, so they won't eat me."
Zhang Li and Du Jiangong felt a little awkward watching such a stunning beauty eating locusts, but judging from the way she ate, they didn't seem to be bad at all!
Pu Kun walked over.
Yu Jinshu brought the skewers in front of Pu Kun and handed them to him: "Young Master, please try them. They are delicious. There is a Sichuan pepper tree in the village, and I picked some. I also happened to bring a small jar of fat and salt. This tastes pretty good."
Pu Kun took the skewers and was a little hesitant to eat them.
Yu Jinshu started eating in front of him with relish, as if the locusts were really delicious.
As she ate, she said, "Sir, think about it. The people are now displaced and have nothing to eat. If they eat all these locusts, it will not only solve their hunger problem, but also eliminate these harmful locusts."
Pu Kunmo's eyes lit up and a smile appeared on the corners of his lips. He didn't dare to look at the disgusting locusts, but only stared at Yu Jinshu eating the locusts. He endured the nausea, bit a locust, and slowly chewed it.
Hey! This tastes good!
He chewed faster and faster. The locusts with fat, salt and pepper looked like a delicacy!
"Sir, is it delicious?" Zhang Li looked at it curiously.
Du Jiangong said to Zhang Li impatiently, "The young master has eaten it, why are we still hesitating?" He took a skewer of roasted locusts from Yu Jinshu and started eating.
As soon as he took a bite of the locust, Du Jiangong smiled and praised, "Delicious, really delicious."
Zhang Li also took a string from Yu Jinshu and started eating it, eating it with a look of surprise on his face.
Yu Jinshu hurriedly waved to the villagers, and first a few children ran over.
Before they could even taste the locusts, Zhang Li and his men arrived with swords in hand.
Yu Jinshu still had eight skewers in his hand, and he gave them to the children first.
The adults saw that the children loved to eat them, so they thought that these harmful locusts were edible.
Yu Jinshu invited the villagers to come and roast locusts, but she didn't bring much fat, but she did have enough salt, and there were peppercorns all over the tree.
While roasting them, she explained to the villagers: "Don't underestimate the harm these locusts can cause. Eating them is actually very good for your health."
An older woman asked, "Miss, these locusts have killed so many people. We all thought they were poisonous, but we didn't expect they were edible. Miss, you said eating these locusts is good for the body. How is that?"
Yu Jinshu said, "These locusts are very nourishing. Women who eat them will become more beautiful, and children who eat them will grow taller. Not only that, they can also relieve coughs and asthma."
"These harmful locusts can actually cure diseases!" an old man said in surprise.
Pu Kun, who was standing next to him, watched Yu Jinshu chatting enthusiastically with the villagers, and he couldn't help but look at Yu Jinshu a few more times.
This girl is really smart. She can come up with a way to eat locusts, which can not only solve the people's stomach problems, but also control the locusts.
She has made great contributions to the country!
Pu Kun looked at Zhang Li and Du Jiangong and said, "Come here."
Zhang Li and Du Jiangong followed Pu Kun to the side.
Pu Kun said, "You two should go all the way to the capital and spread the news of eating locusts. Let the people eat them. Once you arrive in the capital, tell the six ministries about this matter and have them immediately spread the news to all counties and prefectures. Make sure the people eat locusts."
Zhang Li said, "Your Majesty, your safety..."
Pu Kun raised his hand impatiently to stop him from speaking: "Don't worry about my safety. I will stay here for another day to observe and will return to the capital as soon as possible."
Zhang Li and Du Jiangong knew that eating locusts was a serious matter, and they had to let the people eat locusts immediately. If they let the people know a quarter of an hour earlier, fewer people would die.
They hurriedly mounted their horses and headed towards the capital. Whenever they met someone on the way, they had to dismount and tell them that locusts were edible.
In the village, Pu Kun and Yu Jinshu roasted locusts for the villagers.
Some villagers went to catch locusts.
Because there are so many locusts, you can catch a lot of them in a short time.
Some villagers went to gather people from several neighboring villages to eat locusts.
Pu Kun had made incognito visits before, but this time alone, he felt that an incognito visit could be so meaningful.
A little palace maid could actually help him solve such a big problem and save tens of millions of people.
As night fell, the fire burned brighter and brighter, and the aroma of meat became stronger and stronger.
Yu Jinshu talked and laughed with the villagers. Her smile was so sweet, so beautiful, and so touching.
Pu Kun looked at Yu Jinshu's face illuminated by the firelight. For the first time, he thought she was so beautiful. Her stunning and amiable appearance made his heart slightly moved.
The villagers had not had enough to eat for a long time, and they had no hope for the future before, but now, they finally feel that they and their families can survive safely.
Late at night, the villagers arranged a house for Pu Kun and Yu Jinshu to live in.
Some houses in the village are locked and difficult to enter. The villagers who stay in the village only have one house.
The room that was vacated for them was still shared by this family and another family.
There was no lamp oil in the village, so in the dark night, Yu Jinshu relied on the light of a flint to enter the house.
She saw that there was only a bed in the room, turned around, and accidentally bumped into Pu Kun.
