"Madam, the master and young master are extremely worried. Aren't you afraid of eating that damn thing?"

Not only is that worm ugly, but its whole body is covered in hard shells that are hard to swallow. Even if you grit your teeth and bite into it, you'll probably break your teeth.

Madam Gu's personal maid continued to chatter on with a sullen face.

"Madam, why don't you try persuading Miss Shen? If she doesn't like the cooking of our Gu family's chef, she can try other restaurants in Shengcheng... Oh well, the best restaurant in Shengcheng is Zui Shan Xuan, which is owned by the Gu family. Our chef also came from Zui Shan Xuan."

Shen Jiao was not even satisfied with the food provided by the Gu family; in short, she simply couldn't get used to the food from southern Xinjiang.

Even if you don't like the food, you shouldn't be so indiscriminate in your eating habits!

Madam Gu glanced at the maid: "What are you afraid of? Isn't Young Master Liang here?"

Liang Heng is a very famous and renowned doctor!

Legend has it that he began to speak before he was one year old, was exceptionally intelligent at three, could recite ancient and modern medical books fluently at seven, showed his talent at ten, and by fifteen he had already impressed all the imperial physicians of the Great Yan Imperial Hospital to the point of utter awe!

So what is there to be afraid of?

For no apparent reason, everyone put pressure on Liang Heng.

However, the little miracle doctor was indeed not idle.

He was spitting as he spoke, his mouth dry, frantically reciting the fastest antidote tricks that the Gu family physician didn't know.

"And then? And then? Young Master Liang, what's the next step?"

Several physicians from the prefecture held small notebooks, their eyes filled with eager curiosity.

From a distance, it looks like a flock of baby swallows eagerly awaiting their milk.

Well, a passing servant shook his head and sighed.

Actually, they are a group of little swallows that look too old and have wrinkles all over their faces.

The physicians of the Gu family were all part of Madam Gu's dowry, and were carefully selected from the Imperial Medical Academy for Princess Handan when the late Emperor of Southern Xinjiang was alive.

I heard that the current president of the Imperial Medical Academy is a student of these individuals.

They had accumulated experience over the years and considered themselves highly skilled in medicine, so they were naturally a bit arrogant and initially looked down on this young man who seemed only good at flirting with girls.

But Liang Heng only said three sentences, and they were immediately enlightened, and the problem that had troubled them for decades suddenly became clear.

"So that's how it is!"

"You can actually do that!"

"I never imagined this method could be used!"

"sharp!"

"admire!"

"Very impressive."

For a time, conversations among the physicians were filled with such remarks.

His eyes, which had been cloudy for decades, were now sparkling, a testament to his heartfelt admiration for Liang Heng's medical skills.

"Want to know what's next?" Liang Heng asked with a smile, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense.

"think!"

"I miss it so much."

"I humbly request your guidance, Young Master Liang."

“Simple.” Liang Heng snapped the fan closed, revealing twelve beauties of different styles.

He stood with his hands behind his back: "To know the details, please pay ninety-eight taels of silver. If you pay ninety-nine taels at once, each person can ask me ten questions at will within three days."

"Can I ask you anything?" The physician asked expectantly.

Liang Heng smiled and said, "You can ask me anything."

The doctor asked somewhat shyly, "I have a friend whose spouse passed away early, and he wants to find a twilight romance. What should I do?"

Liang Heng smiled and said, "Let's change the question."

...

kitchen.

Several chefs from the Gu family stood solemnly to the side, holding aprons in their hands, looking like they were about to go on strike.

He frowned as he looked at the apprentices who were being forced into servitude.

He glanced at the intrigued Shen Jiao and immediately furrowed his brow.

Nonsense!

This is utterly ridiculous!

How can you eat such a disgusting thing as the Cursed Insect?

The chefs were screaming wildly in their minds.

They started learning cooking at the age of fifteen, and now twenty years have passed. To outsiders, pots and pans may just be cooking tools.

But in their eyes, this is a good partner, a good companion, and a good teammate who spends every day with them and makes delicious food together!

If it weren't for the fact that the Gu family paid them really well, they would have quit.

The chefs didn't believe that cursed insects were edible, so they refused to cook them.

It seems that once he took action, it would be the biggest mistake of his career.

The cooks, unaware of the tyrant's true identity, assumed he was a troublemaker who had come from afar.

Their main concern was that they might harm their employer, so they passed the hot potato to their respective apprentices.

People in this world have never eaten crayfish, so Shen Jiao doesn't care about other people's attitudes.

What's strange about her is that she's a tyrant.

An emperor, the supreme ruler, is supposed to be a charismatic figure who sits on the dragon throne, directing the country and commanding the wind and rain.

He actually helped her sprinkle scallions in the kitchen?

Shen Jiao was flattered and overwhelmed.

This emperor is really down-to-earth.

Shen Jiao suddenly remembered something very important.

It seems the tyrant can't eat meat!

Therefore, she was unsure whether Ji Yan could eat crayfish.

Shen Jiao leaned closer to the tyrant, intending to ask him a question.

"Don't move, your face is covered in dust."

The moment the frizzy hamster turned its head, Ji Yan suddenly spoke. He bent down and raised his icy fingers to wipe her hair.

They're so close!

So close that you can see the tyrant's individual eyelashes clearly.

Shen Jiao looked at the tyrant so close at hand and remained completely still, just like a statue.

My heart was pounding, my mind was spinning, and I couldn't remember what I wanted to ask at all.

Shen Jiao's thoughts drifted, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up. She didn't even know when Ji Yan had left.

Several chefs watching the scene looked on with disdain.
