Chapter 39 Eating big bugs?
Ye Zirou picked up a shrimp, peeled off the shell skillfully, put the tender shrimp meat into her mouth, and chewed it gently, making a "crunching" sound.
She closed her eyes and savored it carefully, with a satisfied look on her face: "Mm, it's delicious."
Everyone's eyes were on her, but no one dared to take action.
Ye Zirou sighed, peeled a crayfish herself, and quickly stuffed it into Xiaoqing's mouth.
Then she peeled another one and stuffed it into Xiaoling's mouth without hesitation.
Xiaoling and Xiaoqing looked at each other, frowning, and stood still with the tender crayfish meat in their mouths, not daring to chew, as if the tiny pieces of crayfish were burning their mouths.
Ye Zirou peeled another one and handed it to Mo Tianyu's mouth: "Ah - open your mouth."
Although Mo Tianyu had never tried crayfish, he was a little nervous.
Seeing Rou'er feeding him personally, he was delighted. He stared at Ye Zirou and unconsciously opened his mouth and took a light bite.
Suddenly, Mo Tianyu's eyes lit up, and he said as he took a bite, "Mm, delicious!"
"I didn't lie to you, this crayfish is delicious." Ye Zirou was full of pride.
"Rou'er, I want more." Mo Tianyu opened his mouth.
"Peel it yourself. Your hands are not broken." Ye Zirou rolled her eyes.
After seeing this, Xiaoqing and Xiaoling dared to chew the crayfish in their mouths carefully.
After tasting it, it is indeed delicious. Although it is a bit spicy, the stimulation is so addictive.
"Miss, this big bug is so delicious! It doesn't feel disgusting at all, and the meat is very firm! It's fresh and fragrant." Xiaoqing's eyes lit up with excitement.
“I’ve already said that this is not a big bug. It has a cute and nice name, called crayfish.
Don't keep talking about big bugs, big bugs, it's really disgusting to hear. "
Ye Zirou corrected helplessly, with a hint of doting in her tone.
Xiaoqing nodded while eating heartily, and responded incoherently.
“Yes, Miss, crayfish, crayfish, so delicious!”
Upon hearing this, everyone started to eat. They were afraid to eat at first, but became more and more excited as they ate. The spicy taste swirled in their mouths, stimulating their taste buds.
They finally understood that what Ye Zirou said was not exaggerating, and the dish was indeed delicious.
Now they finally believed what Ye Zirou said.
Not far away, the people over there saw Ye Zirou and her group eating the "big bug" with relish.
Some people vomited on the spot, some people lamented that they must be starving, and some people looked very hungry and their stomachs kept rumbling.
Those who knew how to catch and grill fish also followed suit, but no matter how they grilled it, the fish they grilled was not as fragrant as the one grilled in the leaves, which made them very confused.
In fact, the reason why Ye Zirou's fish was so fragrant was because she sprinkled seasoning on the fish.
Of course, Xiaoqing, Long Yi and the others all saw Ye Zirou put a lot of things in her sleeves and sprinkled them on the fish. They were already used to it and just thought that Ye Zirou put a lot of things in her sleeves.
And Mo Tianyu also saw it but didn't say anything, so they naturally wouldn't say anything either.
"Xiaoqing, take three grilled fish and deliver them to Xiaochuan's family."
“Yes, miss.”
"Xiao Ling, take one and give it to Li Mao. After all, he didn't make things difficult for us along the way."
“Yes, miss.”
Xiao Ling took the grilled fish and walked over timidly.
"Mr. Li, this is something my young lady asked me to bring to you."
Li Mao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Ye Zirou actually brought him food. He recalled that he could only take out steamed buns to entertain them, and he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
However, he was not pretentious. The smell of the delicious grilled fish had already made him drool.
He took the grilled fish and said to Xiao Ling with a smile, "Thank your young lady for me."
Xiao Ling nodded and ran away quickly.
Li Mao looked up and met Ye Zirou's gaze. He nodded slightly.
Wu Yong next to him had been staring at the grilled fish with his eyes wide open.
He kept swallowing his saliva and looked at Li Mao eagerly: "Boss, let me have a taste, even a small piece!"
Seeing Wu Yong's greedy look, Li Mao broke off a piece of fish for him.
Wu Yong took the fish and put it into his mouth impatiently, his eyes lit up instantly.
"Oh my god, this is so delicious! I didn't know grilled fish could be so delicious? I've never eaten grilled fish so delicious!"
After listening to what Wu Yong said, Li Mao also tasted the fish and was equally shocked. This was the best grilled fish he had ever eaten.
Wu Yong licked his fingers with great satisfaction, the aroma of fish still lingering at the corners of his mouth.
The other yamen runners were even more pitiful. They didn't even have the chance to taste it and could only watch.
Li Mao and Wu Yong were completely conquered by Ye Zirou's grilled fish.
Wu Yong finally realized at this time that Li Mao's advice was correct - don't go against Ye Zirou.
After all, with her around, we can at least have such delicious food on the road.
He secretly swore in his heart that he would never go against Ye Zirou again.
These yamen runners were usually exposed to the sun, wind, rain, hunger and cold, and could only eat hard steamed buns to fill their stomachs. Occasionally, they could squeeze the prisoners who had some money to have a full meal.
It is totally impossible for prisoners to bring food to the yamen runners.
Ye Zirou didn't give them crayfish.
One reason is that these people don’t think crayfish are edible at all.
Second, she didn’t catch many crayfish to begin with, not enough for them to eat.
So she had to grill fish for them.
Ye Zirou held a grilled fish and walked towards the old man who had helped her.
She had a sincere smile on her face: "Old man, this is the fish I grilled myself. I brought it here especially for you to try. I also want to thank you for your honest words today."
The old man looked up, with a hint of surprise and relief in his eyes. He took the grilled fish and nodded slightly.
"You're welcome. This is all thanks to your superb medical skills, young lady. I'm just curious."
After hearing this, Ye Zirou raised a warm smile, nodded slightly, and turned and left.
Ye Zirou returned to Mo Tianyu and happened to see him busy peeling crayfish. Although his movements seemed a little unfamiliar, he was extremely serious.
Mo Tianyu raised his head, looked at her gently, and then handed the peeled crayfish to her.
"Rou'er, this is for you."
Ye Zirou looked at his greasy hands, then at the cleanly peeled crayfish, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart, and her eyes became slightly moist.
No one had ever treated her like this.
She took the crayfish, her heart filled with emotion and sweetness.
When they saw how affectionate the prince and princess were, they couldn't help but feel warm in their hearts and smiled knowingly on their faces.
Xiaoqing and Xiaoling were the most touched. Since the original owner's mother passed away, the original owner's life fell into endless darkness, and she hardly had a peaceful day.
They originally thought that after marrying into the palace, the original owner would still not be favored by the prince.
However, unexpectedly, the prince took great care of and doted on the original owner, which made them feel extremely relieved.
Unfortunately, they didn't know that the original owner had hanged herself on the day of her wedding, and the one occupying this body now is just a soul from modern times.
