Yan Xiao didn't join in washing the crayfish. After checking the number of crayfish, she took advantage of the time while they were processing them to count out all the seasonings she needed.

She's making garlic-flavored spicy crayfish, which won't be as spicy, but will have a stronger garlic flavor, so she'll need a lot of garlic.

Fortunately, we've already arranged for a lot of things to be prepared, which should be enough.

She's probably the only person in this book's world who knows how to cook spicy crayfish, so she'll have to do the cooking herself.

If this were before the apocalypse in the original world, you wouldn't even need to leave the house to eat crayfish; a takeout order would suffice.

She can eat whenever she wants, and whatever flavor she wants. Why does she need to do anything herself?

'If there were places selling spicy crayfish in this world, their business probably wouldn't be bad!'

A thought suddenly popped into Yan Xiao's mind, and then she thought about it more and more, her eyes getting brighter and brighter, until she couldn't stop herself from thinking about it.

She turned to look at Zhao Qian, who was helping to fetch water, and suddenly asked:

"Zhao Qian, that Ma Youcai, he owns a restaurant called Jue Wei Lou, right?"

Zhao Qian had just brought the water to Chen Qiyue's side when he suddenly heard Yan Xiao's words. He assumed she wanted to eat out and nodded without thinking.

"Yes, Madam, their restaurant has always been doing well, and the food is pretty good too. They used to have branches in other places as well."

"It's only because of the war that we've chosen to move our whole family to Jiangbei. If you're interested, Madam, you can try it another day."

Yan Xiao wasn't looking to try any restaurant dishes; she suddenly realized there was a business opportunity that required no initial investment.

But right now, this is just an idea. Whether it will come to fruition depends on whether people in the world can accept its taste after this pot of crayfish is cooked.

Thinking this way, she became even more motivated. After all the crayfish were cleaned, she asked someone to start a fire for her and then took charge of cooking herself.

The kitchen manager didn't dare let her get tired; he wanted to help, but they simply didn't know how to do it.

Even if Yan Xiao were directing them, they still couldn't do it.

Because the largest pot in the entire kitchen was already stuffed full of crayfish, and most people simply couldn't stir it up.

But their general's wife stir-fries it up as if it were effortless, leaving everyone in the kitchen stunned and wide-eyed with amazement at Yan Xiao's strength.

Before long, they lost interest in Yanxiao's strength, because the kitchen was slowly filled with a strange and domineering aroma.

The smell was pervasive and grew stronger, making them unable to resist swallowing their saliva.

One by one, they craned their necks to look into the pot, and saw that the strange insects they had previously thought were ugly had now turned bright red. Coupled with the aroma in the air, they swallowed even more frequently.

Shen Qiyue was much more direct; she was already circling the pot as soon as the aroma wafted out.

"Sister-in-law, how much longer? I feel like we can eat now!"

"Don't rush."

Yan Xiao gave Shen Qiyue a reproachful look, and said while stirring the food:

"This stuff has to be cooked thoroughly, otherwise it's easy to get an upset stomach."

"Mmm, I'm not in a hurry!"

Shen Qiyue nodded vigorously, but her eyes never left the pot.

That made her words completely unbelievable.

Yan Xiao chuckled and looked away, then glanced at the other people in the kitchen.

Although they were all doing their own thing with great restraint, the occasional glances they cast and the suspicious swallowing motions had already betrayed their true situation.

This scene made Yan Xiao feel that her idea of ​​making money was now more feasible.

When the crayfish were finally ready to be cooked, Yanxiao took one and tasted it in front of everyone in the kitchen.

Because it has fewer seasonings, the taste is much worse than in the original world, but the flaws do not detract from its merits. Compared to the ordinary food in this world, it is already quite unique.

Shen Qiyue kept staring at Yan Xiao's movements. Seeing that she had started eating, she quickly found a bowl that was bigger than her head, held it in her arms, and then swallowed and stared at Yan Xiao longingly.

After Yan Xiao finished tasting the food, she looked down and met Shen Qiyue's pleading eyes.

She shook her head with pleasure, reached out and gently tapped Chen Qiyue's forehead, and smiled:

"What's the rush? There's so much, how could you be short? Things are different now. We can't just find a place to squat and eat. We'll have someone bring it inside for us to eat together later."

After she finished speaking, she took two larger bowls, filled them, and set them aside. Then she looked at the people in the kitchen and said:

“You’ve done a good job cleaning it. This is for you. If you’re not afraid of it being poisonous, you can come and try it. But you have to peel it and eat the meat like I did just now.”

After Yan Xiao finished speaking, the servants who had washed the crayfish dared not move.

It smells delicious, but is it really not poisonous?

In the end, it was Zhao Qian, a martial artist who didn't really believe in ghosts and gods, who couldn't resist trying it after seeing that Yan Xiao dared to eat it, and became the one to take the lead.

After Zhao Qian finished one, he paused for a moment, then ate the second and the third...

Seeing Zhao Qian's actions, the servants all began to swallow hard. Only after confirming that neither Yan Xiao nor Zhao Qian showed any signs of poisoning did they gradually begin to react.

Before long, the two bowls of spicy crayfish were surrounded by people.

Just by looking at the scene, Yan Xiao knew without asking that the crayfish were quite popular, not because they were from another world.

Then what she just thought of is feasible.

The season when crayfish are at their fattest only lasts a few months, so now that we've made up our minds, we need to get moving.

"Zhao Qian, bring me a food box."

When Zhao Qian was holding the food, he was worried that something might happen. He never thought that the food would taste so good that he couldn't stop eating it.

He was so engrossed in his meal that he didn't even want to look up, afraid that it would all be snatched away before he could finish it, when he suddenly heard Yan Xiao's words.

His first reaction was that Yan Xiao was going to give him a separate meal, and he felt that his trip was really worthwhile.

After he happily took the food box and waited for Yanxiao to fill it, he heard Yanxiao say:

"Have someone send this to Ma Youcai, tell him how to eat it, and make sure he tries it. Also tell him I have a business deal I'd like to discuss with him, and if he's interested, he should come to the General's Mansion to find me tomorrow."

These words were like a bolt from the blue for Zhao Qian.

His eyes immediately dimmed, and even showed a hint of grievance, his hands holding the food box full of reluctance.

Yan Xiao was speechless upon seeing this scene.

"If you do your job well, do you think I'll starve you? There's plenty in the pot, I'll share with you."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qian immediately perked up, grabbed the food box, and ran out quickly; his ability to change his expression so quickly was truly remarkable.

After Yanxiao finished doing all that, she had Qianqiu Wandai pack up the remaining half pot of crayfish and send it back to her and Chen Qiyue's courtyard.

After returning to the courtyard, I gave a portion to Qianqiu Wandai and Tangdou Wanzi so that the four of them could eat together.

In addition, a portion was reserved for Zhao Qian, the hero who caught the lobsters, while the rest were placed in front of her and Shen Qiyue.

The two women rolled up their sleeves and got to work, without caring about their image at all.

He never expected that there was a man named Shen Muzhi in the mansion who was probably waiting for his wife to call him for dinner.
