Chapter 665 Crab Legs and Noodles!
And whispering.
"Someone actually eats crabs, shells without meat, and charges a high price. What a fool! The Flavor House is indeed worth the fanfare. I'm lucky to have met such a fool."
"There's nothing we can do. This is all that's left in the lake now. Even the water monsters won't eat it. Tingcheng Flavor Restaurant is turning waste into treasure and fooling outsiders..."
"Hush, we don't eat it, so why should we care whether others eat it or not? They have plenty of money, so it's no big deal to try something new. Let's not be frogs in a well."
"Exactly. I'm worried that if this water monster in Tingcheng isn't eliminated, I won't be able to sleep well. It feels like I haven't eaten whitebait in ages. It tastes so bland in my mouth."
The people around who were watching the excitement turned their gazes away again.
Jiang Lianzhu and the others are not afraid of people talking or watching. She is a fool, so what? She just wants to eat crabs, so what?
After the dishes were served, the waiters went downstairs, and Jiang Lianzhu held up the food to taste...
The first thing I eat is crab legs and noodles!
Liao Jiu smiled and asked, "Wife, how does it taste?"
Jiang Lianzhu finished her meal slowly and commented, "Not bad, with a slightly spicy flavor. The crab legs are fresh and fragrant, and the rice noodles are chewy and have the fresh and fragrant taste of the crab legs. The two flavors complement each other and have a great impact on the taste buds. It tastes fresh, fragrant, spicy, and the fragrance of the rice noodles. This dish is worthy of being a signature dish..."
If she makes it herself, maybe the taste can be improved.
More suitable for your taste.
But this dish can already suit the taste of many people, which is pretty good.
The total score is 10, and it can get more than 8 points, which is a dish worth repurchasing.
Jiang Lianzhu tried steamed crab again, and this dish was just average, not as distinctive as the crab legs and vermicelli.
Secondly, the garlic prawns are also okay, and the crystal shrimp steamed egg is also very good. Overall, the advantage of this Family City Flavor Restaurant is the freshness of the ingredients. The crabs and shrimps from Datang Lake taste different from those elsewhere, and the careful cooking method is indeed memorable.
When Liao Jiu saw that his wife was satisfied, he was satisfied too.
Jiang Lianzhu and Liao Jiu slowly enjoyed the delicious food while looking at the scenery outside the window.
I was also listening to the diners at the next table chatting.
Most of them are worried about the water monster.
Someone lowered his voice and said, "I'm telling you, don't let your daughter go out these few days..."
"I've heard it too. It's said that the man-eating monster in Ting Lake is the Water God. Mr. Liu is selecting unmarried girls around sixteen years old to practice the lake-praying ritual that we haven't performed in Ting City for a long time. They're going to marry concubines to the River God to appease his anger and protect Ting City from his harm..."
"This is simply...ah...I don't know what to say, will this work?"
"Mr. Liu gave the chosen girl fifty taels of silver to her family. I guess there are quite a few girls for sale. They are also very selective. They want girls with good looks, good figures, and who have never lost their virginity..."
In the same room, no matter how low the voice was, Liao Jiu and his wife could easily hear it.
Jiang Lianzhu frowned, and the crab legs and vermicelli no longer tasted good.
Marry a concubine to the river god?
wipe!
How could they think of that!
It's clearly a water monster that only eats people, so how did it become a river god?
Who the hell is this Mr. Liu?
Liao Jiu took a pot of unopened Tingcheng fine wine on the table and walked towards the table where people were whispering.
After chatting for a few minutes, I came back and found out everything he wanted to know.
Whispering to Jiang Lianzhu, "This Mr. Liu is very prestigious in Tingcheng. He said he asked a high-ranking monk to calculate that the water monster in the lake cannot be eliminated. Instead of that, why not seek its protection? He said that the high-ranking monk had colluded with the water monster at the bottom of the lake and appointed him as the River God of Tingcheng. Then, he would choose a young girl of 28 as his concubine every year. Then, the water monster would stop attacking the people of Tingcheng..."
Jiang Lianzhu was surprised. "This is clearly feudal superstition. Doesn't the Tingcheng government care about this? There aren't any county magistrates in Tingcheng?"
"The government is turning a blind eye. The Tingcheng government has already sent dozens of runners to exterminate the water monster, but none of them have returned."
Jiang Lianzhu was silent.
This was the government's tacit approval of Mr. Liu's behavior.
At this moment, suddenly, a lot of people gathered by a pavilion by the lake. Some were crying, some were shouting, and some were pulling and tugging, making quite a noise.
I heard some sounds going on in the distance...
"I told you to run, I told you to run! What's wrong with being the River God's concubine? Is that wronging you?"
"Dad, please, don't sell me! Please! I'd rather die than become a concubine of a water monster. The monster will eat me!"
"You bastard, that's the River God. You're his concubine, how could he treat you badly? The River God is a master of magic, maybe you can become immortal like him in the future..."
…
The diners in Tingcheng Flavor Restaurant also heard it.
They had almost finished eating and rushed downstairs to watch the fun.
"Look! Someone wants to sell his daughter to marry the river god!"
"How mad! Look at this..."
"Tsk tsk tsk, this is really... a dilemma..."
Liao Jiu and his wife hurried to follow.
The riverbank was already crowded with people, most of them were there to watch the fun. The person pulling the strings was a poor father and daughter wearing patched clothes.
The girl was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with fair skin, a melon-shaped face, big almond eyes, a cherry-like mouth, long black hair like a waterfall, a slim figure, a slender waist, and a graceful posture. She was very beautiful.
Her father's face was full of ferocity as he pulled the girl's wrist tightly, "Where are you going? As the eldest daughter in the family, you think you can just run away like this?"
There was a middle-aged woman next to her, crying non-stop, "Big girl! We can't even make ends meet now! Mr. Liu finally chose you, and this is a good thing for everyone. He should give us some money so that your three brothers won't starve to death. Mother is such a sickly woman, if she dies, then she dies. Your brothers are the roots of our family! Your father can't go down to the lake now, and we've been out of food for several days. You can't let our whole family starve to death!"
The girl was also crying, "I won't go. I don't want to be eaten by the water monster. Dad and Mom, I can work at home to earn money. I can embroider and cook. Even if you sell me to someone as a maid, I am willing to go. Please don't throw me to the water monster to eat..."
At this time, several people in luxurious clothes walked out of the crowd.
One of them, a short, fat, middle-aged man with a big belly, who was probably the leader, shouted unhappily, "Come here, slap her in the face!"
The guard behind him immediately slapped the girl twice in the face.
The girl was stunned.
The short, fat middle-aged man angrily said, "You're talking nonsense here, aren't you afraid of angering the Lord River God? If we anger the Lord River God, and he attacks our city again, what damage will we suffer? Can you, a little girl, afford to pay for it? Can your family afford it?!"
0--I update at night so that you can see it when you wake up in the morning, not to make you stay up late waiting, my dears, go to bed early and get up early to have a good body.
