Although she disliked the system's rewards, Nan Zhi had the same idea, so she simply didn't value the rewards that much.

But raising crayfish is a delicate task, so who should be entrusted with it?

Inside the kitchen, Wu Nanshuang had already prepared everything.

"Master, I have prepared the dishes, and the crayfish have been cleaned."

Wash the shrimp as Mr. Zhou instructed, so that I can cook them as soon as my master returns.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Nanshuang started a fire, and Nanzhi poured the chili peppers into the pot, and the aroma of the fried chili peppers filled the entire yard.

Zhou Chang took a deep breath, which choked him and caused him to cough incessantly.

"Mmm, cough cough cough, that's it, that's the taste."

Seeing Song Hanyan approach, Zhou Chang took out an envelope.

“They came from over there, take a look.”

Song Hanyan opened the letter, read it, and then clutched it tightly.

It was as if they wanted to tear the other person to pieces.

"Master, rest assured, I have a plan."

Zhou Chang shook his head. "No, you didn't. Those people want to take this opportunity to bring the Third Prince here. With this achievement, the Third Prince will have a chance to establish himself in the court."

He continued, "After the locust plague, there are refugees everywhere. You must make it clear to him that this time we must not let the Third Prince succeed."

Song Hanyan nodded. The situation in the court was becoming increasingly tense. The current calm was merely the calm before the storm.

He looked at the young woman busy in the kitchen and felt a sense of comfort in his heart.

But how long can this situation last?

Soon the food was ready, and Zhou Chang hurriedly washed his hands and rushed to sit in the seat closest to the crayfish.

Pei Nanqing, a guest, had never seen the items on the table before, and couldn't help but frown.

"Can you really eat something so ugly?"

There were no other dishes on the table besides the red ones.

No one seemed to notice the disgust in his eyes, and they picked it up and ate it.

They seemed to be in a great hurry, as if they were afraid they wouldn't be able to come up with an idea.

Nan Chungu reminded him, "Brother Pei, if you don't eat now, you won't be able to get any more." After saying that, he picked up a crayfish and took a big sip.

With a rumble in his stomach, Pei Nanqing finally reached out to the ugly thing on the plate.

After painstakingly peeling off the crayfish shells, all that was left was a little bit of meat on my hand.

With a hint of skepticism, he slowly put the meat into his mouth.

A moment later, Nan Chungu complained, "Brother Pei, don't you dislike eating crayfish?"

Pei Nanqing burped over the pile of crayfish shells, not expecting them to be so intoxicating.

I ate so much without even realizing it.

Pei Nanqing said embarrassedly, "This thing isn't available in the capital."

"Country bumpkin," Lin Jiaxiang said disdainfully.

Fortunately, Nam Tze made enough food, and everyone was full.

Nanzhi brought some more to Grandma Nan's family.

The way of eating crayfish will definitely become popular in the future, so we should take advantage of the fact that it hasn't become a big thing yet and build up the production base now.

Having come up with an idea, Nanzhi immediately went to Zheng Xinghai.

Zheng Xinghai chuckled, "Girl, is there some good news again?"

Nanzhi smiled and nodded, "Uncle Zheng, I want to raise crayfish in our village river."

Crayfish? Zheng Xinghai wondered, what kind of strange species is this?

Nanzhi realized the other person might not understand, so she explained, "It's the red mantis shrimp in the river."

"Oh, so this is what it is." Zheng Xinghai asked in confusion, "Girl, what can this thing do?"

There are plenty of them in the river; I've never seen anyone treat them as a treasure.

Nan Zhi: "As long as it's done well, it's a dish."

"Food!" Zheng Xinghai's eyes widened.

Who would bite on something so hard to grind their teeth for no reason?

Moreover, mantis shrimp are very aggressive and will bite people, so it's really hard to bring yourself to eat them.

Seeing the other party's shocked expression, Nanzhi could only say, "Uncle Zheng, it's edible. The crayfish shell is hard, but the meat inside is soft and delicious. You can try it another day."

Zheng Xinghai was skeptical, but he gathered a few honest-looking people and told them what Nan Zhi had said.

"You can eat the mantis shrimp in the river? Village chief, you're not kidding me, are you?" Liu Da said incredulously.

“Village chief, even if we were willing to raise them, who would buy them?”

The mantis shrimp have been crawling in the river for so many years, but no one has been willing to cook them.

Nobody believed it unless someone actually cooked the mantis shrimp that bites.

Sun Zheng turned his gaze to Nan Qun beside him.

"Nanqun, tell us, is this Zhizhi's idea?"

Nan Qun nodded, gritted his teeth, and took out the crayfish he had secretly hidden in the bowl.

"Yes, this is it."

The group gathered together and pondered it carefully.

Liu Da: "No wonder you smell so good today, you were hiding something good on you."

"But why is the bowl filled with mantis shrimp?"

Zheng Xinghai: "Could it have been done by Nan Yatou?"

Nanqun nodded, reluctantly saying, "It's garlic-flavored, you guys should try it."

There were exactly five in the bowl, one for each person.

The group swallowed hard; the aroma that filled their nostrils was irresistible, but they really couldn't bring themselves to eat it.

The group looked at each other, but no one made a move.

Nanqun couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he picked one up and taught it slowly.

Finally, a tiny bit of meat was pulled out from the hard shell.

"Village chief, please try some."

Zheng Xinghai hesitated for a moment, then closed his eyes, put the food in his mouth, chewed a few times, and his eyes lit up.

"Hey, you know what, you really can't believe it, Zhizhi said she can eat a lot, and she really can eat a lot."

Seeing him say that, the group quickly reached out and each grabbed one, and began to peel them.

A moment later, the group turned to look at Nan Qun.

Nan Qun quickly stepped back, "Don't look at me, I secretly hid these too."
