"Miss, those water monsters are red and have many pincers on their bodies. It hurts when they pinch people." said a village woman.
"Yes, I was pinched by it and it hurt so much that I cried." A young man said embarrassedly.
"It's okay, I'll be careful." Yang Youxue comforted the people.
After Yang Youxue finished speaking, she rolled up her trouser legs and walked down the ridge of the field.
What meets the eye are piles of crayfish of all sizes.
Oh my god, they really are crayfish, and there are a lot of them, big in size.
I can have a delicious crayfish meal tonight, and my mouth is watering just thinking about it.
Yang Youxue was happily catching crayfish while humming a song.
"Bai Chen, bring the wooden bucket." Yang Youxue was busy catching crayfish and called Bai Chen to bring a bucket to put them in.
"Yes, Miss." Bai Chen borrowed a bucket from a nearby villager and carried it to find Yang Youxue.
When he returned to the ridge of the field and was about to go down to the rice field, Liang Junhao snatched the wooden barrel from him, and then Liang Junhao went down to the rice field.
He handed the wooden barrel to Yang Youxue and started helping catch lobsters.
"Bai Chen, do you know? This water monster is called crayfish. It is a nutritious and delicious delicacy. Your lady is my favorite.
"Wait a minute, I'll show you my cooking skills. I'm sure you'll want more after you finish eating." Yang Youxue thought it was Bai Chen, and she kept talking.
"The God King also likes to eat crayfish, and the woman I like also likes to eat crayfish. You two are so alike!" Liang Junhao said with some jealousy.
This heartless woman treats me very badly, but is very kind to Bai Chen.
"Your Highness, why are you here? Where is Bai Chen?" Yang Youxue was frightened by Liang Junhao and asked in a bad tone.
"Why, it's me who's disappointed!" Liang Junhao said angrily, gritting his teeth.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you again? It's really inexplicable." Yang Youxue didn't want to talk to him anymore and continued to catch her crayfish.
"You are the one who is crazy. Your kindness is not rewarded!" Liang Junhao said angrily.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I wronged you." Seeing that Liang Junhao was really angry, Yang Youxue felt that she had gone too far and apologized to him.
"Forget it, I'm also wrong, let's call it a draw.
Let's quickly catch some crayfish and cook them for me." Liang Junhao's anger vanished as he saw Yang Youxue apologize, and his mood instantly brightened.
"Okay, I'll cook for you." Yang Youxue said, and continued to catch her crayfish.
There were a lot of crayfish, and soon the two of them caught a full bucket, which Liang Junhao carried to the field.
The people were frightened by the red, ferocious water monster and retreated one after another.
"Your Highness, why are you catching these water monsters? They can hurt people. Your Highness, be careful not to get hurt by them." said a villager.
"Fellow villagers, don't be afraid. This water monster not only can't hurt people, it's also a delicious delicacy." Yang Youxue said to the people.
"Delicious food? Miss Yang, stop joking. There were villagers who thought like Miss Yang before, catching them and cooking them to eat, but they tasted terrible and were completely inedible." said a villager.
"Yes, I have a relative. A scoundrel from his village caught a croaker and brought it back to eat. Not only was it inedible, but it also injured his hand.
I heard that now when he sees a water monster, he is so scared that he takes a detour.” said a village woman.
"Have you heard? The water monster in Tianshan Village ran onto the road, scaring the villagers so much that they ran back home, closed the doors, and dared not go out." said a thin village woman.
"Really? Are there so many? Is Tianshan Village far from here? Wait, can you take us to Tianshan Village?" When Yang Youxue heard that the crayfish had run onto the land, she was so happy that she wanted to go over and catch them and take them home immediately.
"No, I won't go. I'm afraid of water monsters." When the village woman heard that she was asked to take them to Tianshan Village, she turned pale with fear and refused.
"Auntie, don't be afraid. Wait a minute, I will make a delicious crayfish dish and you won't be afraid anymore." Yang Youxue said.
"Miss Yang, is this water monster really edible?" Governor Wang asked in disbelief.
“You’ll know once you try it.
"Fellow villagers, who among you has a big house and a big kitchen? Please lend it to me so I can cook delicious food for you." Yang Youxue asked the people.
“Come to my place.
"I'm the village chief, and my house is quite spacious, with a big enough kitchen," said the village chief, a dark and thin man in his thirties.
"Okay, thank you for troubling the village chief." Yang Youxue said happily.
"It's no trouble. If Miss Yang can really turn the water monster into a delicacy, we should thank Miss Yang." The village chief said politely.
The village chief took everyone to his home, which was a courtyard with one entrance.
Yang Youxue taught everyone how to clean crayfish, and then asked Bai Chen to go back to the carriage to get the seasoning.
Bai Chen brought the seasonings and Yang Youxue began to teach everyone how to stir-fry crayfish.
At first, many people didn't dare to look, but when the fragrance wafted out, they rushed into the kitchen.
Yang Youxue fried crayfish and asked everyone to try it.
Although it smells delicious, people still don't dare to eat crayfish.
Yang Youxue understood that people were resistant to unfamiliar food, so she did not force them.
Instead, he picked up a garlic crayfish, peeled it, put the shrimp meat into his mouth and started eating.
Well, this is the smell, the smell that she has been dreaming about.
I thought there were no crayfish in ancient times and we couldn’t eat such delicacies.
Unexpectedly, in this fictional dynasty, there were crayfish, allowing her to eat the crayfish she had always dreamed of.
