Chapter 54
Looking at Tang Shuheng who looked shocked, Tang Yu chuckled and said, "Third brother, how does it taste?"
"Just so so!" Tang Shuheng pretended to be calm.
"Is it really just average?"
Tang Yu knew that Tang Shuheng was a stubborn duck, so he said jokingly: "How about Third Brother try another one?"
"Hmph! Don't do this! Even if my third prince dies of starvation, dies outside, or is struck by lightning, I will never eat a second one of these pests!" Tang Shuheng vowed.
"That's such a shame!"
Hearing this, Tang Yu smiled and shook his head. He knew that Tang Shuheng was deliberately being mysterious for the sake of face, but he didn't try to expose it.
Immediately, Tang Yu looked at Manchu Wenwu and said: "Ministers, why don't you come and try it? The portion is limited, first come first served!"
Some people still hesitate about "this".
Prime Minister Meng Shize touched his growling stomach and said, "I haven't eaten in the morning. Seeing that Your Majesty eats so happily, I should come and have a taste!"
The next moment, Meng Shize stepped forward and picked up a spicy crayfish and stuffed it into his mouth. The spicy and delicious smell immediately made Meng Shize feel energetic.
"The most delicious thing in the world! It's really the most delicious thing in the world!"
"The most delicious thing in the world?"
Seeing that even Prime Minister Meng Shize commented like this, Manchao Wenwu, who was still hesitating at first, quickly rushed forward and the remaining half plate of spicy crayfish was wiped out in an instant.
"Oh my god! Isn't this so delicious?"
"It's absolutely delicious! It's really delicious! I've lived for most of my life and I've never tasted something so delicious!"
"His Royal Highness, you are so smart! Who said this pest can't be eaten? Come forward and see if I don't kill him!"
The ministers who tasted the spicy crayfish all exclaimed that they were not satisfied with just one spicy crayfish and quickly rushed towards the pot.
“Delicious, so delicious!”
Not long after, most of the pot of spicy crayfish was quickly eaten by the civil and military officials of the court. Some ministers did not grab the second one and could only lick the residual taste on their fingers sadly. Those ministers who hesitated and did not eat the spicy crayfish
, seeing the rave reviews at the scene, everyone was so envious that they almost drooled.
Tang Huang still didn't finish his meaning and said: "Yu'er, what did you say just now? Spicy crayfish?"
"Reporting to my father, yes, this is exactly the spicy crayfish! In fact, in addition to the spicy flavor, the crayfish can also come in various flavors such as spiced garlic and so on!" Tang Yu said with a smile.
Emperor Tang secretly marveled: "What? Are there other flavors? I want to taste them all later!"
"No problem!" Tang Yu readily agreed.
Prime Minister Meng Shize asked in confusion: "Your Highness, why did someone die from diarrhea after eating this pest before?"
"Yes!" All the officials looked at Tang Yu.
Tang Yu explained: "It's simple, because those who eat crayfish don't know how to handle or cook them at all! First of all, there is no doubt that the body of crayfish is really dirty and needs to be cleaned carefully; secondly, crayfish must be cooked, and the head part of the shrimp must be as much as possible
Don’t eat it, because the shrimp heads have the most germs and are prone to diarrhea if they are not cooked!”
"So, try to eat only the tail of crayfish! Finally, as long as the cooking method is right, you can successfully make extremely delicious crayfish!"
"So that's it, that's it!" The officials suddenly realized.
Tang Yu continued: "Father, the disaster in our Tang Dynasty is serious this year, but the proliferation of crayfish can be said to be a blessing and a curse. Having this crayfish as a delicacy can reduce a lot of the burden on the court!"
"What Yu'er said is true!" Emperor Tang nodded in approval.
If he hadn't personally tasted the deliciousness of crayfish, Emperor Tang would still have thought that they were pests and should not be eaten at all.
