Another cook hurriedly interjected, "Madam, these things weren't made by us. We have nothing to do with them. If anyone is an accomplice, it's those apprentices!"
"Um, you should turn around and take a look."
The cooks' eagerness to exonerate themselves was particularly unpleasant, and the physician, with a complicated expression, kindly offered a reminder.
What's so interesting about this?
The head chef scoffed, "Does he expect me to witness how the master dies after eating the cursed insect?"
Could it be that they want them to be eyewitnesses so that they can testify for the master later?
Very well, then they must keep a close eye on things and make sure these culprits who killed the master suffer a terrible death!
The chefs thought about it more and more and it seemed possible. As they turned around with this thought in mind, the smiles on their faces gradually froze.
"The crayfish is so delicious!"
Master Gu peeled several eggs in succession and even had his servant bring out his aged wine for a sip.
He smiled contentedly: "Jiaojiao, to tell you the truth, I..."
After a few sips of wine, he started to speak more casually. As soon as he said "I am," Master Gu suddenly paused.
I'm used to speaking casually in front of bratty boys, so I should naturally be more gentle with cute little girls.
After reflecting on his actions, Mr. Gu immediately spoke softly.
"I've lived a life of luxury since I was a child, and I've tasted all sorts of delicacies. I never imagined that I was so ignorant and blind to the truth. I never thought that there was such a delicious food as crayfish. With my wife and crayfish in my life, this journey has been worthwhile. Hahaha... Wife, come here, I peeled these for you."
Mr. Gu gestured for the porcelain bowl filled with crayfish to be pushed in front of Mrs. Gu.
The crayfish from Youlan River are large and have delicious meat; just a few can fill a bowl!
Gu An and Gu Qi, the eldest young master of the Gu family who was not present: "???"
What about them?
Where do they rank?
The wife and the crayfish are truly in love; it turns out they were a genuine accident?
Shen Jiao smiled but remained silent.
The result was as expected.
She said that under normal circumstances, no one can resist crayfish!
The chef of the Gu family strongly suspected that Master Gu was talking nonsense to curry favor with Shen Jiao.
It's just a few plates of worms, how can it be compared to delicacies?
As the saying goes, a pheasant is a pheasant; how can it possibly become a phoenix?
Similarly, a cursed insect is a cursed insect; how could it possibly become a delicious dish?
That's pure nonsense.
Gu An initially thought he was acting for his biological father, but then realized it was impossible.
Based on his understanding of his father over the past eighteen years, if the crayfish were really bad, he would have definitely given him all of them starting from the second one.
Gu An realized something was wrong and quickly peeled one himself.
The cooks gritted their teeth, their eyes fixed on Madam Gu and Gu An.
As Princess Handan, you despise opportunistic and dishonest people, and you will surely give the most truthful evaluation!
As for the young master, he usually loves to contradict the master and will definitely say that crayfish is hard to eat!
Mrs. Gu picked up a peeled crayfish with her chopsticks.
The cook waited for her to berate Master Gu and Shen Jiao, and then...
She picked up a second one, then a third one...
It's impossible to stop.
When Madam Gu wanted to eat more, she discovered that the bowl full of crayfish was already empty.
The personal maid was extremely surprised.
Ever since the problem of the Youlan River fell on the Gu family's shoulders, the lady has been worried and has had a poor appetite for the past few days. It takes a lot of persuasion from her to get her to drink a few mouthfuls of porridge.
Is this crayfish really that delicious?
The cook still didn't believe it.
The master and mistress's love is stronger than gold, and it cannot be ruled out that the mistress might be putting on an expression of eating so delicious food that she almost swallowed her tongue in order to avoid embarrassing the master in front of everyone.
They turned their gaze to Gu An, their lips twitching uncontrollably.
Gu An and his biological father fought fiercely for the last chilled crayfish.
The two were furious, to the point that they seemed to have no regard for even their own family.
Gu An: "Father, I've never tasted this before. Respect for elders and love for the young is my duty!"
Master Gu: "My son, I just want to eat this flavor. Respecting the elderly and caring for the young, I am the elder!"
Gu An: "I'm still a baby."
"You bastard, I'm your father!" Old Master Gu slapped Gu An on the forehead.
What a brilliant bloodline suppression technique!
Liang Heng sat down early to show off his crayfish, and didn't forget to peel a bowl for Shen Jiao. Then he discovered—
Actually, azole shells have quite a flavor.
Shen Jiao's lips twitched slightly.
Even when eating crayfish, you don't forget your professional skills?
Why does watching Little Doctor peel shrimp feel like watching an autopsy?
"Impossible, absolutely impossible."
The chefs, disregarding the occasion, started shouting and yelling; they simply couldn't stand these hypocritical people anymore.
"Our combined culinary experience spans nearly a century, and we possess exceptional professional skills. How could we possibly eat this thing, which is considered a cursed and vile insect?"
"Master, Madam and Young Master, even if you are concerned about others' feelings, you can't speak against your conscience."
"Exactly, we've never seen this kind of ingredient before!"
"Even if you're fine now, who can guarantee there won't be any problems later? What if there's hidden poison? Master and Madam, you're playing with your lives with every bite you take!"
The cooks tried to dissuade them, saying whatever came to mind, insisting they were right even if it was nonsense.
The more he said that, the more outrageous it became, and the expressions on the faces of Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu suddenly darkened.
With a loud "smack," Madam Gu slammed her hand heavily on the table.
