"Isn't it that the Western Region is coming over to make peace? A banquet will be arranged to receive the envoys soon." Deputy Tang Shang took her to the stove and brought a tall bucket over.

"The people in the Western Region like to eat roasted whole lamb and stuffed blood sausage. Shang Food Bureau can make these. It's what Nanyi likes...it's more troublesome."

There was a crash.

Crunch - The multi-legged arthropod insects make a heart-wrenching sound when crawling, making Linlang's temples jump and her sanity drop.

Those large centipedes, which can make the hairs of cryptophobic patients stand on end at a glance, are brightly colored. They are still twisting their bodies and shaking their hairy legs desperately, trying to escape along the smooth barrel wall.

"Nan, is this what Nanyi eats?" Even though he was as bold as Linlang, he couldn't help but his voice was a little unsteady.

Compared with this, the pufferfish from last time was nothing.

But how come she always comes across this type of ingredient?

"Is it difficult to accept?"

Tang Shang skillfully took the pliers and pulled down a centipede that was trying to escape from prison. He then reached out and rubbed the goose bumps on his arms.

"Your reaction is very good. When the people at the Shang Food Bureau saw this bucket, they screamed like slaughtered pigs, and a few timid ones fainted immediately."

How could anyone see so many centipedes that are so big and hairless?

Linlang felt very bad.

But then, Deputy Tang Shang solemnly patted her shoulder.

"The group over there don't dare to get close, and I really can't figure out how to make this thing, so Linlong can only rely on you."

Linlang:……

Is this considered a universal processor?

"Mr. Shang, can't you go outside the palace and ask some Nanyi cooks to take care of it?" Although she asked this, she still silently mentioned the centipede bucket that made people shy away.

"Hey, if something like that happens in Beishan Prefecture, who would dare to ask for help? If something goes wrong, even ten heads can't be saved."

Tang Shang has an approachable personality, and she is like an ordinary aunt next door when talking.

"These centipedes..."

Although I majored in cooking in Hyundai, I still rarely get started with these heavier dishes.

Therefore, Linlang thought carefully and then said to the side, "Kill a few big roosters first, preferably strong ones. Remember not to bleed them. Kill them now while the blood is still hot and bring them over quickly."

"Okay, I'm going to pick out a few to make sure they're strong enough!" Aunt Cai took the lead and picked up the knife.

Linlang lit the fire and asked, seemingly unintentionally: "Mr. Shang, is this banquet to receive envoys only once a year?"

"No, only one tribute every few years." Deputy Tang Shang stared intently at the basket of big meat buns she had just steamed this morning.

Linlang smiled, brought it over and put it in the steamer.

"Mr. Shang is in such a hurry. He probably hasn't eaten yet, right? I'll heat it up for Mr. Shang and eat some with a bowl of soy milk."

"I wonder if you are considerate. Today I have experienced how the masters treat me." Deputy Tang Shang was not polite to her, and even consciously took a pair of chopsticks.

While Linlang was heating up the steamed buns and soy milk, she brought the topic back and said, "Since it's an envoy's banquet, why is there a marriage ceremony?"

"Little girl, you don't even know this." Deputy Tang Shang said softly, "Nanyi and Xijing are both small and remote countries that are dependent on Daqi. In the past, they would go to Beijing to pay homage and send tributes.

"But this year I heard that the harvest in the Western Region was not good, so I sent a princess over to express my wish for a permanent marriage."

Linlang couldn't help but be silent for a moment.

Maybe in the eyes of others, there was nothing bad about her, but she felt... the so-called princess was actually like an item that could be traded and given away at will.

When Aunt Cai and her team quickly brought the big rooster in, the meat buns and soy milk were just coming out of the pot.

Stuffed with pork and cabbage, steaming hot.

As soon as you bite into the soft dough, your mouth is filled with hot and delicious gravy.

Deputy Tang Shang was really hungry. She had been forgetting to eat and sleep because of this matter recently. After eating several meals in a row, she breathed a sigh of relief and praised.

"It's the same steamed buns, but why do you make them so much more delicious than others? Not only are the dough soft, but the soup inside is also plentiful."

Linlang carried the roosters that had just gone west and put them into the centipede bucket. Stimulated by the warm blood, those large and ferocious centipedes immediately burrowed straight into the dead chickens and began to suck the blood.

Hearing this, she couldn't help but feel happy.

"Actually, there's nothing special about it, except that the dough for making steamed buns is thick in the middle and thin on the edges. Don't blanch the vegetables for the meat filling, so as not to lose the flavor. It's best to add a few drops of sesame oil and stir evenly..."

Practice makes perfect in everything.

And she happened to be more patient and careful than others in addition to her talent. That's why she was able to excel in cooking.

The rooster belongs to Yang and is the natural enemy of the centipede.

Feeding it with its blood can effectively remove toxins. After repeated boiling to ensure that the toxins are filtered out, cold water is added.

Linlang put on her gloves and took the scissors to remove the shells. She looked at the large bucket and was about to ask a few people to help, but when she turned around, they all backed away.

Linlang:……

"Old Tian."

When Fatty Tian's name was called, his whole body trembled, and his facial features instantly twisted into a ball, "Auntie, I, I, I'm afraid..."

Linlang was a little helpless, "These are already dead, and haven't you seen the centipede yet?"

"But, who has ever seen a centipede grow so big?" The other party burst into tears, looking like he would not come over even if he was beaten to death.

"Auntie, auntie, let's call someone brave to help you!"

Others were afraid of being hit, so they even took the initiative to catch an unlucky guy outside to die for her.

"Linlang! I heard that you need my help with something, and you will give me delicious food?"

After a while, Sophora japonica was tricked by a few nannies and walked in with a silly face and a bright voice.

Watching the group of people retreating like an ebbing tide, they are so active that they are afraid that they will not be able to get jobs if it is too late, thus losing their excuses.

Linlang twitched the corners of her mouth fiercely.

"Look at this, just cut it open first and then peel out the flesh." She tried to demonstrate it to Huaihua.

Perhaps because of the lack of tendons, the look of fear appeared on the other person's face a few beats later than others, but not much.

Unlike other people, hairy to the core.

"Is it okay? If not, don't force it."

Although this was a labor force captured at random, Linlang didn't want to be like the others and bully others for not being smart.

Sophora flower hesitated for a long time and asked: "Is this delicious?"

"Of course, when it comes out, I'll make sure you are the first to try it!"

Linlang knew that she had agreed, so she smiled and handed over a pair of gloves.

The processed meat is crystal clear, stir-fry the ginger and garlic into hot oil, add detoxified herbs, pickles, mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, etc., bring to a boil with broth, and finally season.

This centipede and pickle stew is finally done, as the name sounds very dark.
