Chapter 1041 I Love Eating
The distribution pattern of this small town called Zhixu is roughly in the shape of a Chinese character "品".
The area in front was mostly shops and markets, and there were people who specialized in looking after the carriages and feeding the horses. It was a large and lively place. Looking at the various carriages and people coming and going, Princess Fuyun found it quite interesting.
"Aunt Cheng, you kept telling me on the way that this was a small town, and I really thought it was very small. I didn't expect it to be so lively."
In particular, Mrs. Cheng told her that this market was only a small part of the town, and the residents were still behind.
"This place wasn't so lively originally. Over the past few decades, Youqing Peak has gradually become famous, and more people come here. Also, a road that passes under Youqing Peak has been opened up, so more people pass by. It's a good place to rest when you arrive at Zhixu."
"Where are we going after passing Youqing Peak?" asked Princess Fuyun.
Madam Cheng smiled and said, "Let's go to a place called Bohai. Bohai has become quite lively in recent years, and some seafood is traded there. So some gourmets who know how to eat will go to Bohai Town, where you can eat seafood that you can't find anywhere else. Some of these things we have never even heard of."
Seafood.
Upon hearing this, Princess Fuyun also smelled a faint fishy smell.
She looked over and saw a group of people gathered together, apparently buying something.
"Look, did you see that? They're selling seafood over there. Someone has seized the business opportunity and went to Bohai to ship some seafood back. You can buy and eat it here. You know what, these seafoods smell fishy now, but if they're cooked well, they taste really good."
Madam Cheng was a little proud. "We have a chef in our villa named Lao Wan. Lao Wan learned from an old customer who came here to eat. The seafood he cooks is very delicious. This is the best in Zhixu Town. No one can compare to him. Ah Fu, you are in for a treat."
She gave a thumbs-up.
Lu Guo also said, "We have never eaten it before, so we don't know how to cook it. That's why our chef is famous for making it, and many people come here to eat it."
"By the way, A Yuan also likes the big shrimps made by Lao Wan." Madam Cheng said to the guards who followed her, "Go and see what they have, buy some and take them back to the villa. Let Lao Wan prepare a seafood feast tonight to entertain our distinguished guests."
"yes."
The guard rode his horse over there.
However, when he got there, he saw the veiled Fu Zhaoning squeezing to the front with Xiaoyue Baihu Eleven.
Why is Princess Jun also interested in this? Come over to join in the fun?
But generally women would not go near stalls selling seafood, because these seafoods are fishy, if they are splashed with water, they will have the fishy smell around them.
Women are afraid.
Fu Zhaoning and his companions' carriage was originally at the front of the procession, so when Madam Cheng and the others came in, Fu Zhaoning had already seen the stall. There were so many people surrounding it, and she could even smell the familiar fishy smell of the sea.
Xiao Lanyuan also told her about the things in Bohai Town.
Upon hearing this, Fu Zhaoning suddenly became interested, but Xiao Lanyuan was too conspicuous with the mask on, so Fu Zhaoning didn't let him come over, and squeezed over with Xiaoyue and Baihu Eleven.
When the onlookers saw the two girls squeezing in, they all started laughing, and some even tried to dissuade them.
"Where are you from, girl? Don't push us. There are some very fierce sea fish here. If they splash all over your face, you will cry."
"Yeah, yeah, there are a bunch of dead squids here, they look scary."
"Uncle Dao is helping to kill the fish. The scales fly everywhere as he slashes with the knife. This kind of scene is not suitable for you to come."
Fu Zhaoning smiled.
"Of course I have to buy it when I come here."
"Girl, do you want to buy some seafood too? These things are different from the lake fish we usually eat, and you may not even know how to cook them." Someone looked at Fu Zhaoning and Xiaoyue.
"I seemed to see Mrs. Cheng coming back just now?" Someone noticed this.
"Mrs. Cheng is back? Then can we go make an appointment with Lao Wan again? Buy some things and let Lao Wan help us cook fish and crabs!"
Those who shouted with joy obviously wanted to eat it all the time.
"Miss, you don't want to buy these, do you?" Xiaoyue saw Fu Zhaoning looking at a bamboo basket of crabs. She roughly knew that this was a crab, but it was indeed different from the lake crabs she had seen before. The claws were much larger, and their bodies were bluish-green.
The shell of this thing looked very hard, and she really didn't know how to make it, after all, she had never seen it before.
"This is delicious." Fu Zhaoning didn't expect to see a big crab here, and there was a big lobster next to it.
Where did these things come from?
Is there such a thing in Zhaoguo's sea?
But after seeing it, her saliva started to flow.
There are also some conchs, which are delicious if they are made into pepper and salt. Even if they are steamed or blanched, they will definitely be delicious if they are dipped in the right sauce.
"How much are these?" Fu Zhaoning pointed and ordered all the things.
The man with a scar on his face glanced at her and said in a muffled voice, "Can you cook? If not, don't come to me and tell me that the food is not tasty. I won't return it."
"I won't come looking for you as long as it's fresh. But if it's rotten or smelly, I'll still look for you, right?" Fu Zhaoning raised an eyebrow.
Uncle Dao didn't expect that she could be so calm when seeing his scarred face, and even dared to say that she came to find him.
He sold these seafood products, but no women ever came to buy them.
After all, I was a little scared when I saw him.
"Fresh ones, come to me if there are any bad ones."
"Then I want all of these." said Fu Zhaoning.
Others looked at her in surprise, but they didn't believe she could cook these. Although Fu Zhaoning was wearing a veil, she looked slim and beautiful, with a smooth and white forehead and hands. She definitely didn't live by the sea.
I guess it's because they heard that seafood is rare and they can do whatever they want if they have money.
It would probably be a waste if I bought it back, but they were too lazy to bother.
Xiaoyue paid the silver. All these things cost fifty taels, which was quite expensive.
Eleven and Baihu were responsible for carrying the seafood tied with wet straw ropes, and squeezed out behind Fu Zhaoning.
Mrs. Cheng's guard came to his senses when he saw this, and he didn't dare to step forward to stop Fu Zhaoning.
However, Lao Wan might not be able to cook the things Fu Zhaoning bought.
The guard quickly bought two sea fish, several kilograms of shrimp, and a squid, and carried them back. These were the dishes that Lao Wan could cook and they were delicious.
"Madam, Princess Jun bought a lot of seafood." The guard returned to the carriage and said to Madam Cheng.
"It can be seen along the way that she really likes to eat."
Wherever they went, they never forgot to try local food they had never tasted before. Sometimes they slowed down just to wait for her to buy food.
