After returning to the castle with a bunch of seafood, Liszt didn't immediately let the kitchen cook them.
These seafood were indeed similar to the seafood in his memory, but whether it was edible or poisonous, he needed to verify it. The verification was very simple. Markus took the few hunters in the town to the periphery of the Thorns Ridge to set traps and capture several wolves, wild cats, and other carnivorous beasts.
The wolves, wild cats, and other beasts in the cages were hungry.
The seafood was thrown in and was immediately gobbled up by the beasts. The cooked seafood was then given to another group of beasts. After waiting for a day, the next day, except for two beasts that died after eating some sea urchins, the other beasts were still alive and kicking, showing no signs of poisoning.
"This shows that the seafood at the seaside is actually similar to the seafood on Earth, except for the sea urchins. Then remove the sea urchins and have the remaining edible seafood made into specimens for the farmers to compare. "
After thinking about it, Liszt wasn't in a hurry to have people gather seafood.
He needed to let others understand that seafood was delicious and not something that tasted bad.
Many seafood could be eaten raw, but Liszt didn't recommend it. He felt that eating too much seafood would easily cause one to be infected by the parasites inside.
Without medical conditions, being infected with parasites could only wait for death.
Therefore, he called over the cook, Abby Ladle: "Mrs. Abby, let me tell you how to cook seafood. Do you see this crab? Brush it clean with a brush and steam it. This mantis shrimp, brush it clean and boil it in plain water. "
"Look at this clam. You can use it to make soup or stir-fry it. Also, this oyster meat can be eaten raw, but I don't eat raw seafood. You need to boil it or stir-fry it. We have a lot of oyster meat here. I call it oyster. If you can't eat it, you can dry it and boil it to get oil. "
Oyster, scientific name oyster, also called oyster, was a kind of shellfish.
It was a precious ingredient.
In his hometown, Liszt liked to eat oyster very much because oyster was rich in zinc. Zinc had an important impact on the development of secondary sexual characteristics. If there was a trace of zinc in the blood, one would be full of vigor …
Therefore.
Oysters would definitely become an indispensable delicacy on Baron's dining table.
Fortunately, the Flower Town was bordered by the sea and had not been over-harvested. The sea was densely packed with oysters, so there was no need to worry about a lack of zinc.
The sixteen-year-old Liszt was still in the period of rapid development. He could only become stronger by eating more.
After teaching Abby Ladle how to cook seafood, Liszt was not looking forward to eating seafood for the first time in this world. In fact, he had already eaten it. In Longtaro Castle, fishermen had picked up rock lobsters from the sea.
As an archipelago country, the Grand Duchy of Sapphire had many fishermen.
Naturally, some of the serfs would go to the sea to beg for food and discover the delicious seafood. It was just that transportation was inconvenient and information was blocked, so it was impossible to spread the seafood recipes of the various islands. On the Coral Island, the Tulip family had not finished reclaiming the wasteland and had no motivation to open up the sea.
Therefore, the subjects of Flower Town had never thought of catching seafood for more than a decade or two.
"This is Mrs. Abby's first time cooking seafood. I'm afraid that she can't even steam the crabs well. I can only let her continue to explore how to cook the best and slowly improve her cooking skills."
Sure enough.
At noon, at the castle's dining table, Liszt ate the familiar seafood, but he could not find the familiar taste.
The crabs were steamed too hard, the mantis shrimp were boiled too soft, the oysters were stir-fried too hard, and the clam soup was full of sand. However, he still ate a lot with relish. It was much more delicious than the bread and barbecue he usually ate.
Markus, Gort, Isaiah, and Blair accompanied Liszt to eat the seafood banquet.
"Delicious!" Markus gave a simple evaluation and then buried his head in the mantis shrimp and crab.
Isaiah smiled: "Delicious!"
Blair gave a thumbs up: "A rare delicacy!"
Gort was the most exaggerated. At first, he disliked the ugly appearance of the oyster meat and could not eat it. But when he tasted the taste, he could not stop. The plate in front of him was swept clean and he ordered two more.
He drank a mouthful of hops beer and ate a piece of oyster. His wrinkled face was full of happiness: "I remember, I remember."
"What do you remember?" Liszt skillfully opened the shell of the crab.
"When I was young, I traveled to an island called Flying Fish Island. In the islanders' homes, I ate this … oyster. At that time, I was drunk, ate a lot of oysters, and had a wonderful night. After I sobered up and left Flying Fish Island, I never found that delicacy again. I did not expect to find it again now. "
"Then eat more. Maybe something wonderful will happen tonight." Liszt smiled faintly.
He already knew that Gort had found a young girl in town. The young girl was only sixteen or seventeen years old. If the other party had not voluntarily followed Gort, Liszt would definitely have stopped this behavior of an old cow eating young grass.
Gort laughed: "Who knows? In any case, I've already fallen in love with oysters."
Isaiah and Blair gave a tacit laugh.
They were all adults and understood the meaning behind their words.
Even Markus had an expectant expression in his eyes. He turned his head and began to eat the oyster.
In the living room upstairs, the nobles and Knight were happily enjoying the delicious seafood. In the kitchen downstairs, the servants were also enjoying the happiness brought about by the seafood.
"This mantis shrimp is really delicious. If I did not eat it myself, who would have thought that such an ugly bug would be so delicious." Irene Fourfingers ate heartily.
Abby said with dissatisfaction: "Little girl, don't eat so crudely. You're just like a boy."
"I'm just a kitchen maid. Why can't I eat like this? I used to eat like this at home. Even Mr. Carter did not scold me. "
Carter elegantly cut the oyster. As a butler, he always strived to conform to the temperament of a noble butler, including eating.
He also asked the other servants to try to be as close to noble etiquette as possible.
Hearing this, he said: "Irene, you've seen Miss Li Weiwei's personal maid. Maybe you should learn how she eats."
"I don't want to learn from her. Pinching her fingers and cutting a knife. If I didn't know better, I would think that she was a noble lady. Even the master praised Big Sister Maggie's manners, but Big Sister Maggie doesn't eat like that. "
Maggie said with a smile: "I grew up in the village, but no one taught me how to eat elegantly. However, I'm learning from Mrs. Morrison. She worked in Tulip Castle before. The maids there know more about noble etiquette than many noble ladies."
Mawson Paddy pinched the mantis shrimp's head and squeezed out the meat: "That's because nobles have the right to break the rules. We servants must strictly follow them, otherwise we will face harsh punishment."
Irene suddenly shouted: "The master will not punish the servants. Tom broke the castle's vase yesterday, but the master did not scold him."
"The master is benevolent. I will definitely not break things next time." Tom had a respectful expression on his face.
