Ye Qianqian pouted.
Of course it's delicious!
What a pity! Such delicious crayfish, and it's all going to you two death row inmates!
[If I had known this would happen, I would have brought more, so I wouldn't be envious looking at the lobster shells you guys are throwing away now!]
The two death row inmates seemed to want more.
Start licking the lobster shell.
He licked his fingers again.
Ye Mu asked.
"Is it really delicious?"
"Your Highness, I'm already a death row inmate, how could I dare to lie!"
"What this servant said is all true!"
"It's delicious! This servant has never tasted anything so delicious before!"
King Cheng spoke.
"Your Highness, it's not safe to only have two people trying now; we need more people to try!"
Ye Mu nodded.
"Go and cook all of that basket of strange insects."
"Bring more prisoners from the jail and make them peel off the shells of the strange insects and eat them!"
"yes!"
soon.
A new batch of stir-fried worms is ready.
The cook could smell the aroma while she was cooking.
For some reason, she suddenly wanted to try one.
But let's forget about it.
What if it's poisonous?
We should wait until it's truly safe before eating it.
Inside the courtyard.
The new batch of prisoners soon began peeling the shells off the strange insects and eating them.
At the beginning.
Some prisoners are quite resistant to this.
"I only stole something. I was supposed to be released after five years, but now they're making me eat this stuff that I don't even know if I'll survive. If I really die here, it would be such a waste!"
"If you really die here, I, the prince, will naturally give your family a sum of money so that they will not starve for the rest of their lives."
Upon hearing this, the prisoner immediately spoke.
"I'll eat it, I'll eat it!"
After each prisoner ate it.
They were all pleasantly surprised.
"This is delicious!"
"It's delicious!"
"What is this? I've never seen anything like it before!"
"This tastes absolutely delicious! The meat is so tender! And with the chili peppers, it has a spicy and numbing flavor!"
"If the shell weren't so hard to bite, I would have loved to eat it too!"
Ye Mu read it.
ask.
"Are you feeling any discomfort right now?"
Everyone shook their heads.
One prisoner dared to speak up.
"Your Highness, this servant is feeling unwell in one area!"
Ye Mu frowned.
Where does it hurt?
"My stomach is upset. I feel unsatisfied and would like to eat more."
Ye Mu smiled after hearing this.
"They're prisoners, yet they're still thinking about food."
Ye Qianqian found it surprising.
That's strange, doesn't anyone there have an allergy to crayfish?
Some people are actually allergic to crayfish; eating them can cause red spots all over their body.
However, this only applies to a minority of people; it seems most people can eat a lot.
Ye Mu became more cautious after hearing this.
It turns out that some people are allergic to crayfish.
"Alright, take them all away!"
"yes!"
King Cheng said to Ye Mu.
"Your Highness, it seems that this strange insect, like the locusts from over a decade ago, is edible!"
Ye Mu nodded.
"Yes, Imperial Uncle, it seems we should tell the people this news so they no longer have to worry about the strange insects. In fact, they can have an extra dish to eat. Why not?"
"Um!"
soon.
Ye Mu wrote a notice about how the strange insect could be stir-fried or deep-fried and posted it on the city wall.
The people were very surprised when they saw it.
"What? This strange insect is edible?"
"No way! It's so ugly, and it likes to pinch people, how can you eat it?"
"When there was a locust plague more than ten years ago, we initially thought it was inedible, but we only realized it was safe to eat after some people ate it! Perhaps this strange insect is the same as the locusts we've encountered before?"
"I heard that His Highness had already tested the food on prisoners and confirmed that they were unharmed after eating it before posting the notice!"
"The notice also states that this strange insect grows in water, and if someone cannot normally eat fish or shrimp, then they cannot eat this strange insect either."
"I believe His Highness would not harm us! He is destined to be emperor; how can he become emperor if he doesn't win the hearts of the people?"
"Yes, I'm going to the river right now to catch those weird bugs! I'll stir-fry them and eat them!"
"Me too! Me too!"
Everyone rushed towards the river!
soon.
The group caught quite a few crayfish.
Then I took it home and stir-fried it.
This meal.
It really is delicious.
"It's really delicious!"
"Your Highness is right, these are edible, and they taste much better than locusts!"
"Your Highness has such keen insight! How did he know it was edible?"
"I heard that the little princess threw two strange insects into the pot and accidentally discovered that they were edible!"
"So, it seems the little princess has done a great job!"
"The little princess is truly amazing! Last time, she stumbled upon the remedy for tuberculosis by accident! And this time, she's solved another major problem for us common folk!"
"I don't have enough of these strange insects left at home, I need to go catch some more from the river!"
However.
