Chapter 380: Chapter 362: Shockingly Reading This Kind of "Book", Stomach Pain to the Point of Giving Birth

From never daring to eat, to being unable to stop after the first shrimp.

"Sister-in-law, these crayfish are quite tasty, so fragrant, and the meat is tender." Xiao Jinyu deftly peeled the shrimp shells, one after another popping them into her mouth.

Chun Xi, while eating, said, "I also find them very delicious. No wonder our young master has been longing to try them."

Shen Chuwei dipped the peeled shrimp meat into some vinegar and began to eat, looking utterly content, "Of course, crayfish are a delicacy of this world."

"What are you eating?"

A stern voice came from behind, startling everyone into rigidity as they turned to look at the person behind them.

Xiao Jinyan walked in leisurely, glanced at the contents of the soup pot in front of them, and recognized at a glance that these were the insects that had been bothering him for days.

Xiao Jinyan saw her mouth and hands covered in grease and looking at the shells on the table, he knew she had eaten a lot.

Apart from Xiao Jinyu, who else had the means to bring these creatures into the palace?

"Xiao Jinyu!"

Xiao Jinyu jumped, silently stepping forward, "Brother, I’m here!"

Shen Chuwei, holding back her pain, offered the peeled shrimp meat to Xiao Jinyan, "Your Highness, it’s quite tasty. Would you like to try some?"

Xiao Jinyan took a deep breath, trying to keep his tone calm, "How do you only think about eating? Can this thing be eaten casually?"

Shen Chuwei timidly replied, "Your Highness, this can be eaten, and it’s not only edible but extremely delicious."

After saying this, she put the shrimp meat in her mouth.

Xiao Jinyan knew that Xiao Jiu loved to eat but had not expected her to be so gluttonous that she would even eat unknown insects!

Xiao Jinyu suggested quietly, "Brother, since these can be eaten, there’s no need to worry about not being able to get rid of them."

Xiao Jinyan coldly said, "You shut your mouth for me."

"Oh." Xiao Jinyu dared not speak again and went back to the table to pick up a crayfish and continue peeling...

Shen Chuwei held a crayfish and introduced it seriously, "Your Highness, this is called crayfish. I used to eat them often; as long as they are cleaned properly and cooked thoroughly, there’s no problem."

Xiao Jinyan looked at Shen Chuwei’s greasy mouth and naturally believed what Xiao Jiu had said.

"Even if you can eat it, you shouldn’t eat so much."

Shen Chuwei swore with her hand up, "I promise, I will stop after a little bit more."

Xiao Jinyan sighed, looking at the crayfish in the soup pot. Since they were edible, he could let the villagers catch them to eat, which would not only sate their hunger but also solve the current problem.

"After you finish eating, tell me how they are prepared."

"No problem." Shen Chuwei continued to eat the crayfish with great delight.

After having her fill, Shen Chuwei explained the cleaning and cooking methods one by one while also writing them down with a pen.

Xiao Jinyan, holding the detailed cooking methods, saw the drawings on the paper and the corners of his lips curled up into a nice arc.

"Prince Yu."

Xiao Jinyu, who had been drinking tea, immediately stood up, "I’m here!"

Xiao Jinyan handed the detailed cooking methods to Xiao Jinyu, "The task of teaching the villagers how to eat crayfish is up to you."

Xiao Jinyu didn’t expect that by just casually eating some crayfish, he would be assigned a task?

"Brother, you think too highly of me."

Xiao Jinyan raised an eyebrow, "After eating so many crayfish, shouldn’t you do some work?"

"I’ll take it, I’ll take it okay?" Xiao Jinyu took the detailed cooking methods. All he wanted was to be a carefree prince who enjoyed his food and drink~

Teaching the villagers to eat crayfish seemed easy but was a very difficult task.

To the villagers, crayfish were a pestilence, a nuisance, strange in appearance.

For creatures they had never seen before, how could they dare to eat them?

It took Xiao Jinyu two days to finally persuade the villagers to try the crayfish.

Once the villagers had tried and found the crayfish edible, they began boldly catching and cooking them.

If it were from anyone else, the Empress would not dare to eat it, but she was always curious to try the items sent by Shen Chuwei, even if they were unfamiliar, and she found that crayfish tasted good.

The Empress, satisfied, sipped the tea brewed by Qing Ying, "Lady Shen is becoming more and more attuned to me."

Qing Ying said with a smile, "Your Majesty and Lady Shen get along very well."

The Empress spoke slowly, "At first, I didn’t think much of her, but after spending some time together, I’ve realized that Lady Shen’s temperament is the rarest in this palace, mainly because we share similar interests."

"What Her Majesty says is true. Lady Shen is innocent but not foolish, clever, and does not vie for favor; indeed, she is a rarity," Qing Ying said.
