Get the golden finger at the beginning: Enjoy the journey of escaping from the famine

General Yang's face was filled with surprise. He never expected that the Princess of Hui'an County, who looked so delicate, actually had such abilities.

"My Lord, I, the soldiers in the army, thank you and the county lady."

Pei Yu shook his head. "This was Ah Li's own idea. I also benefited from her. You don't have to thank me."

General Yang shook his head. "Your Highness, the county lady is not a soldier and does not know the hardships of guarding the border. She must have done this for Your Highness."

The soldiers guarding the border have the hardest time, especially those in coastal areas like them. Every year, the crops they grow are either harvested in small quantities or are completely destroyed when typhoons hit during their harvest time.

The imperial court allocated military pay once a year, and that little pay was not enough to fill their teeth. Now it is much better.

However, the new dynasty had just been established and there were many things that needed to be rectified, and the new emperor was unable to spare the time to do so.

However, the new emperor is a man of thundering methods, and these officials have restrained themselves a lot recently.

He heard that Prince Jingnan was his confidant, so when he received the news, he worked hard to train his soldiers. The opportunity had come, and it depended on them whether they could seize it.

Pei Yu looked at General Yang and said, "General, I know the hardships of guarding the border, and I also know the difficulties you are facing. The emperor is already thinking of a solution."

Hearing this, General Yang's eyes filled with tears. He was not afraid of shedding his blood for his country. What he was afraid of was that the soldiers under him would suffer with him.

Now that he heard that the emperor was concerned about them, he knew that they were worth it.

"I am very happy that the emperor cares about us, the rough folks. I will definitely do this job for the emperor beautifully."

Pei Yu smiled slightly, "Okay, General, let's continue discussing the matter. If we go too late, I'm afraid there won't be any mutton soup left."

"Hahaha, your Majesty is right. My little bastards haven't had meat for a long time. I'm afraid they are too greedy to bear it."

After chatting for a while, the two men began to discuss the matter. This matter was of great importance and only success was allowed, so they had to think of corresponding strategies for every unexpected event.

After handing the wild boar and wild sheep to Tianqing, Shen Li walked towards her own yard.

There was a bucket of seafood in the yard waiting for her to process.

The crabs I picked up yesterday were soaking in water, spitting bubbles peacefully, completely unaware that they would soon become food on someone else's table.

Shen Li found a pig bristle brush, cleaned the crabs and lobsters, and put them in the kitchen for later use.

The conditions here are not very good, and the seasonings are not very complete. The crabs have to be steamed to taste their original flavor.

As for the lobster, Shen Li pondered for a long time in her mind: sashimi, grilled or steamed?

Forget about sashimi, I guess they won’t be able to accept it, so just steam it.

As for the larger shells, put them directly into the pot and cook them after spitting out all the sand. The smaller ones can be used to make soup.

After a while, the mutton smell wafted through the village. Shen Li thought it was about time, so she started to take action.

Before that, she went to the village to find an old cook, otherwise she was afraid that she would waste ingredients.

Shen Li was responsible for the instructions and the cook was responsible for the cooking. Everything was fine at the beginning, until the moment when the crabs were steamed, the cook could no longer conceal her hesitant look in her eyes.

"County, county lady, you can't eat this."

"Ok, I know."

After hesitating for a while, the cook swallowed her words. These nobles didn't like others to tell them what to do when they were doing things.

Since the county lord already knows about it, she will probably not take the risk. After all, they value their own lives more.

After the crabs were put into the pot, the cook packed up and left. Shen Li estimated that the time was about right, so she turned down the fire a little, waited for a while, and picked up a big crab.

The freshness and sweetness of seafood hits you in the face, it is much more delicious than what I have eaten before.

Shen Li couldn't wait to taste it. When the cook came back, she saw this scene and her pupils dilated a lot.

"County, County Master, you can't eat this, it's poisonous!"

Shen Li took another mouthful of crab roe, "Grandma Wang, it's okay, this is delicious, and I've already eaten it, so let's not waste it."

To Grandma Wang, these words meant: I have already eaten it, so I must have been poisoned. I might as well eat more.

Grandma Wang turned around and ran, but she had to go and inform General Yang, as the county princess was a noble lady.

And he brought so many sheep to the village today. He is a very good man.

"My dear, go tell the general that Princess Hui'an has eaten a hard-shelled monster!"

Grandma Wang stood at the gate of General Yang's yard, extremely anxious.

General Yang and Pei Yu, who just walked out, heard this, and General Yang was also very anxious.

"How could he eat that thing? Go and notify the military doctor!"

Pei Yu was also panicked for a moment, and felt a little regretful that he did not bring Mo Qing with him on this trip.

But after a few breaths, he calmed down. Ali was not a reckless person. He was eating that thing, so it must be edible, otherwise he would not have picked up so much yesterday.

Although he thought so, Pei Yu still walked back very quickly, and General Yang was left far behind.

"Ayu, you're back, come here quickly, I'll give you something delicious to eat!"

Seeing that her face was rosy, she spoke with full energy, and she didn't look poisoned at all, Pei Yu finally relaxed.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeves, walked into the yard, and felt helpless. "Ali, next time before you do something, can you tell me first? Don't scare me like this."

Shen Li put down the crab in her hand, smiled awkwardly, and approached him, "Don't I know that this thing is edible? If I told you, you would definitely not let me eat it."

Pei Yu: "..."

She is right, I definitely won’t allow that.

"See, that's what you think. I know this thing is not poisonous, so I ate it. I cherish my life very much."

Of course we should cherish the hard-earned life.

"My Lord, how is the Princess?"

General Yang ran over and when he saw Shen Li standing there at the gate, he was stunned for a moment.

How come this is okay?

Nonsence!

After knowing what he was thinking, he made two "Pooh" sounds and asked doubtfully, "The county lady didn't eat..."

He didn't say the rest because he had already seen the shells on the table, one of which had obviously just been opened.
