After returning to the castle with a bunch of seafood, Liszt didn't let the kitchen cook immediately.
These seafood are indeed similar to the seafood in his memory, but whether they can be eaten and whether they are poisonous needs to be verified. The verification was very simple. Marcus took the few hunters in the town to set traps on the outskirts of Thorn Ridge and captured several carnivorous beasts such as wolves and wild cats.
The wolves, wild cats, etc. in the cage are hungry.
Seafood was thrown in and immediately devoured by wild beasts. Add the cooked seafood to another batch of Beast. After waiting like this for a day, the next day, except for the two beasts that ate some kind of sea urchin died suddenly, the other beasts were still alive and kicking, without any sign of poisoning.
"This shows that the umami taste of the sea is similar to the seafood on the earth, except for sea urchins. Then remove the sea urchins, and let people make specimens of the remaining edible seafood for comparison by farmers who catch the sea."
After thinking about it, Liszt was not in a hurry to get people rushed to the sea.
He needs to let others understand that seafood is delicious, not something bad.
Many seafood can be eaten raw, but Liszt does not recommend eating this way. He always feels that eating too much seafood is easy to be infected by parasites in it.
There is no medical condition, and infection with parasites can only wait for death.
So he called the cook Abby Tangshao: "Ms. Abby, let me tell you how to cook seafood. Have you seen this kind of crab, just brush it clean with a brush, and steam it out directly; This Pippi shrimp, also brushed clean, and then boiled out, boiled in plain water."
"Look at this again, clam, you can use it to make soup, or you can stir-fry it directly. And these sea oyster meat, in fact, can be eaten raw, but I don't eat raw seafood, you need to boil it, or stir-fry it Fried. We have a lot of oyster meat here, I call it raw oysters, if you can’t eat it, you can dry it, and boil it with dried raw oysters to get oily oysters.”
Sea oyster, the scientific name is oyster, also called oyster, a kind of shellfish.
It is a precious food.
In his hometown, Liszt likes eating oysters very much, because oysters are rich in zinc, which has an important impact on the development of secondary sexual characteristics of the human body; the blood contains a small amount of zinc, and it will be alive and well...
so.
Sea oysters will definitely become an indispensable delicacy on the baron's table.
Fortunately, Huahua Town is adjacent to the sea, and has not been over-collected by humans. The sea is densely packed with sea oysters, so there is no need to worry about zinc deficiency.
Sixteen-year-old Liszt is still in the period of rapid development, and he will be stronger if he eats more.
After teaching Abby Tangspoon how to cook seafood, Liszt does not expect to eat seafood for the first time in this world, or rather, he has already eaten it—in the Castle of Long Taro, some fishermen picked up rocks from the sea. lobster.
As an archipelagic country, there are still many fishermen in the Grand Duchy of Sapphire.
Serfs who are poor but want to change will naturally go to the sea to beg for food and discover the delicacy of seafood. It's just that the transportation is inconvenient and the information is blocked, so it is impossible to convey the seafood eating methods of each island. On Coral Island, the Tulip family has not finished reclaiming the wasteland, and has no motivation to open the sea at all.
Therefore, the citizens of Huahua Town have never thought of fishing for seafood for more than ten or twenty years.
"Mrs. Abbie is cooking seafood for the first time. I'm afraid she can't even steam crabs well, so she can only keep trying to find out how to cook it for the best taste, and gradually improve her cooking skills."
really.
At noon, on the table in the castle, Liszt ate the familiar seafood, but couldn't find the familiar taste.
The steamed crab is too old, the pippi shrimp is too rotten, the fried oyster is too hard, and the clam soup is full of sand. However, he still ate a lot with relish, which was much more delicious than the usual bread with barbecue.
Marcus, Galtai, Isaiah, and Blair accompanied Liszt to a seafood feast.
"Delicious!" Marcus simply commented, and then buried himself in the shrimp and crab.
Isaiah smiled: "Delicious!"
Blair gave a thumbs up: "Rare food!"
The most exaggerated one is Gao Ertai, who at first disliked the ugly appearance of oyster meat and couldn't eat it. But when he tasted the taste, he couldn't stop at all, the plate in front of him was wiped out, and he ordered two more.
Taking a sip of hopped beer and eating a piece of oyster, the wrinkled face is full of happiness: "I remembered, I remembered."
"What do you remember?" Liszt skillfully opened the crab's shell.
"When I was young, I visited a small island called Flying Fish Island. I ate this... oysters in the islanders' homes. At that time, I was drunk, ate a lot of oysters, and had a wonderful night. Sober up After leaving Flying Fish Island, I never found that delicacy again, I never expected to find it now.”
"Then eat more, maybe something wonderful will happen tonight." Liszt smiled.
He already knew that Galtai found a young girl in the town. The girl was only sixteen or seventeen years old—if the other party hadn't voluntarily followed Galtai, Liszt would definitely stop this kind of old cow from eating tender grass Behavior.
Gao Ertai laughed: "Who knows, anyway, I have fallen in love with oysters."
Isaiah and Blair laughed knowingly.
They are all adults and understand the meaning of the words.
Even Marcus had an expectant expression in his eyes, and turned his head to eat oysters.
In the living room upstairs, the nobles and knights were enjoying delicious seafood, and in the kitchen downstairs, the servants were also enjoying the pleasure brought by seafood.
"This Pippi shrimp is really delicious. If you didn't eat it yourself, who would have thought that such an ugly bug would be so delicious." Irene ate it with four fingers.
Abby said dissatisfiedly: "Little girl, don't eat so rudely, you look like a boy."
"I'm just a kitchen maid. Why can't I eat like this? I used to eat like this at home. Mr. Carter didn't even mention me."
Carter cut the oysters gracefully. As a butler, he always tried his best to conform to the temperament of a noble butler, including meals.
It also requires other servants to try to move closer to noble etiquette.
Hearing the words, he said: "Irene, you have seen Miss Li Weila's personal maid, maybe you should learn how she eats."
"I don't want to imitate her. I cut a knife with my fingers. I don't know. I thought she was a noble lady from some family. Even the master praised Sister Maggie's behavior, but Sister Maggie doesn't eat like that."
Maggie smiled and said: "I used to grow up in the countryside, but no one taught me how to eat elegantly, but I am learning from Mrs. Mawson, she has worked in Tulip Castle, and the maids there understand the nobility better than many noble ladies etiquette."
Mo Sen Daotian pinched the head of Pippi Shrimp and squeezed out the meat: "That's because the nobles have the right to break the rules, and our servants must strictly abide by them, otherwise we will face harsh punishment and punishment."
Irene suddenly yelled: "The master will not punish the servants. Tom broke the vase in the castle yesterday, and the master did not scold him."
"Master is kind, I will definitely not break anything next time." Tom had a respectful look on his face.
Thomas ate the oysters he had dug out, and sneered disdainfully: "That's not necessarily true, clumsy Tom, breaking the vase is just the beginning, and you will break more things in the future. It is best for the master to prohibit you from going upstairs."
