The chief butler was very efficient, and in the afternoon, he had already compiled a list of the three people, as well as their experience and personality information.

Meng Guanshuang had long wanted to go to the chief manager to get personnel information, but he was so busy all afternoon that he was almost tired of half his life.

Nearly in the evening, only a little free, Meng Guanshuang asked the bellflower to go to the housekeeper to get the information, she went back to the room to sit down and drink tea, the hosta's hand just touched her shoulder and was ready to rub it for her, Liu Ruyan's maid Yueju was ordered to invite her to go to the catkins to have dinner together.

"Grandpa Guo accompanied the emperor to ride and shoot today, and the emperor was happy, and rewarded two tribute from the South China Sea, a good big cricket from the South China Sea, one of which was filial to the old lady and the old lady, and one was put in the small kitchen to make it, and the lady invited the county lord to go over and eat together!" On the way, Yueju explained the reason.

"Big crickets?" Shenma Dongdong?

Meng Guanshuang didn't understand it, but it was what kind of seafood was in the South China Sea.

This ancient transportation was not developed at all, far away from the Central Plains by the sea, and I really didn't even smell the smell of the sea!

I miss the taste of seafood so much!

Meng Guanshuang made up for the seafood she had eaten in her previous life, and felt that her saliva was about to flow down.

"It's the kind of cricket with a hard shell and two big crickets on its head, and we've only seen the ones in the stream, and the ones are so small that no one has ever eaten them. But Grandpa Guo said that this big cricket can be eaten, and the slaves and maids are suspicious of such a hard shell, how can they eat it with their hands! Yueju explained, showing doubts again.

"Oooh! It's a big lobster! Meng Guanshuang came to her senses, but she was anxious in her heart. I couldn't help but speed up my pace, and asked, "Have you already taken it to the kitchen?" Grandparents also sent it? ”

This big lobster is not made casually, it is not cooked well, it is too wasteful and delicious.

"When the slave came, Grandpa Guo had already asked someone to take it to the kitchen! And let people send it to the old lady's side. Yueju replied.

"Hosta, you hurry up and go to the small kitchen first, and tell them to wait for me to arrive before we do it! Yueju, you also chase after your grandfather's yard, if the small kitchen over there has already been done, forget it. If not. Ask the cook to come to the catkins courtyard, I will teach them to make lobster, don't spoil such a precious and rare delicacy! Meng Guanshuang quickly commanded.

"Good!" When the hosta heard that it was eating, it was naturally very fast, and even used light skills.

Yueju hesitated. It was the first time they had heard that the big crickets were edible. I don't know how. I also had to order to quickly turn around and run to Qingzhu Courtyard.

When Meng Guanshuang came to the Liuwu Courtyard quickly, she didn't have time to go to the main room to salute Liu Ruyan and Meng Tang, so she went directly to the small kitchen in the back.

In the distance, I could hear the voices of people in the kitchen. It's very lively.

Someone said: "This cricket has grown so big, it's the first time we've seen it, compared to the one in the creek, ten of them are on top!" ”

When Meng Guanshuang heard this, she secretly shouted obediently: It's so big!

That would have cost a lot of money in the previous life.

However, then I thought, this is all a tribute, and the value is also very high! So, if it is ruined, it will be a pity.

Another humanitarian: "The creek is narrow, and the fish and shrimp in it and the crickets naturally do not grow, and the crickets in the creek are also inedible!" But I heard that the sea is bottomless, and there is no end in sight, so this cricket can grow so big! ”

"You don't talk too much, where is it so mysterious, you can't see the edge, I think it's true that you can't see the bottom of your heart!" Some people don't believe it and think the man is bragging.

"Really, I used to hear from a man from out of town!" The man said urgently.

"People are fooling you!" The people didn't believe it.

Even the hosta was curious and wanted to ask, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Meng Guanshuang coming over, and immediately greeted him and said, "Girl, these aunts don't know how to make this big cricket into a dish and are discussing!" ”

"Good!" Meng Guanshuang nodded, secretly calling it a fluke, thanks to Yueju's mouth, she explained it a lot, otherwise I am afraid that this big lobster feast will not be able to eat today.

Several people in the small kitchen immediately knelt down and saluted when they saw Meng Guanshuang, and some people muttered in their hearts: The county lord is just a little girl, and she grew up in a poor family, where will she know the practice of the big cricket, she must have heard that there is such a big cricket, and she wants to come to see it!

Meng Guanshuang called people up, followed a cook to the wooden basin with big lobsters, looked down, and saliva flooded again: obediently, it's really a big lobster, weighing two or three catties. However, I don't know if I came to the capital after a long journey, and the color on the lobster armor is not very bright.

Some worries about whether it is dead or not, if it is dead, it will not be eaten!

So, she squatted down to touch the lobster, but the cook immediately stopped her: "County Lord, don't touch it at will, be careful of pinching your hands!" ”

The cook was thinking at the same time: Let's just say that the little girl is curious about what the big cricket looks like, so she came to see it!

"It's okay, I'll see if it's still alive, if it's dead, it's a pity!" Of course, she didn't dare to touch the big lobster, but she was not afraid of things that seemed to have no vitality.

"Girl, I'll come!" The hosta was also worried that the master's hand was clipped, so she volunteered and poked the lobster's back with her finger.

The big lobster lazily moved the big ao in front of him, obviously wanting to resist the foreign enemy, but unfortunately he didn't have much vitality and couldn't move.

"It's great to be alive!" Meng Guanshuang gluttonous insects are raging again.

No way, she just compares haha seafood, especially lobster.

When she straightened up, Yueju panted and came with the cook of Qingzhuyuan.

Seeing the ceremony, the cook lady said eagerly: "County Lord, Miss Yueju said that you know how to make this big cricket, you should teach the slave maid quickly!" The slave is really racking her brains, and the only way she can think of is to boil it for nothing! ”

"It's actually okay to boil it, but when it's time to eat, it's not easy to start! Moreover, the fishy smell of seafood is heavier than that of river fresh, and I am afraid that boiling it in white will not remove the fishy smell. Moreover, seafood is a cold food, if the stomach is not good, I am afraid that it will hurt the stomach, and my grandfather and grandmother are old, if they eat boiled food, I am afraid that they will hurt the stomach, so I called you to come and learn how to turn these disadvantages into advantages. Meng Guanshuang said.

Hearing her say this, the cook who originally looked down on Meng Guanshuang couldn't help but be in awe.

In fact, before the hosta came, the instructions they received from the grandfather of the country were just to boil them in water, and they thought the same way.

"First of all, we have to deal with this big dragon - eh, the cricket has to be dealt with, cut the hard shell of the back along the back, and pick out the shrimp line on the back......" (To be continued.) )
