She transmigrated into a widow and farmed to raise vests.

Yunlaiju's kitchen

Qin Yu brought a basket of crayfish and loach to the kitchen.

Pour the contents into the basin.

It really startled everyone in the kitchen.

"Madam Qin, what kind of insect is this?!"

"Yes, I haven't seen it."

"How scary! Look, they look like they're going to bite!"

"Could it be poisonous?"

Qin Yu listened to their conversation.

They asked questions one by one, but no one knew what it was.

Qin Yu picked one up casually, pinched its head and pulled off its gills, then ripped off the shrimp vein from its tail.

There were many crayfish, so I taught them how to prepare them together.

"This is where the crayfish filters and breathes; this is the intestinal tract."

By pinching the middle tail and twisting and pulling, it can be easily dealt with.

The chef and his team hesitated to start cooking.

But Qin Yu, with quick eyes and hands, pinched and grabbed them all at once, and they were all eager to try!

Once you get started, it will become easier and easier to learn.

After soaking and rinsing with salt water, it's ready to be stir-fried.

in the box

Cui Ming and Xu Shaoting sat together.

A moment later, Qin Yu came out carrying the prepared food.

Thirteen-spice crayfish, garlic crayfish, braised loach.

Sweet and sour pork ribs, Dongpo pork, plus stir-fried snails and braised eel in sizzling oil.

I stir-fried two vegetarian dishes.

The table was laden with a very sumptuous feast.

The two of them couldn't help but drool as they looked at it.

"These......"

Xu Shaoting and Cui Ming boasted that they had traveled all over the country and had never seen such dishes in all these years.

Even in the capital, I've never eaten these.

Not to mention things I've never even seen before.

It was a bright red, worm-like thing with two large pincers standing upright, which looked quite strange.

In modern times, May and June are the season for eating crayfish, and farmed crayfish will be available even earlier.

Wild crayfish are very meaty, and although they are a bit dirty, they taste better!

It was indeed cleaner in ancient times because there was less industrial waste and a more natural ecological environment.

Therefore, crayfish are relatively easy to clean.

Qin Yu sat down, and wine was already laid out on the table.

Only then did Cui Ming speak.

"Madam Qin, what are all these things? I've never seen them before. What is this bright red thing?"

What kind of dishes are these?

Qin Yu pointed to the crayfish and introduced them to the two of them one by one.

"crayfish?"

The two said in unison.

"This is an eel; it looks somewhat like a snake, but it's not a snake..."

"Who did this? Their knife skills are incredible."

“I haven’t heard of it!”

Qin Yu introduced one, and the two of them looked left and right.

The same applies to Dongpo pork.

"Did you do all this yourself?"

Xu Shaoting was clearly somewhat skeptical.

I knew Qin Yu must know how to cook, but I didn't expect him to be so good at it.

Before he could even have a second thought, Qin Yu had already nodded.

He couldn't help but sigh.

Fortunately, I didn't reject her back then.

This craftsmanship is so delicious that it makes your mouth water just looking at it.

Without saying a word, he picked up his chopsticks and grabbed a piece from a plate.

The moment I tasted it, my eyes lit up.

"Qin Yu, your skills are absolutely amazing!"

Cui Ming's eyes were wide open; he could no longer contain himself.

Hearing Xu Shaoting's praise, I immediately picked up my chopsticks.

He chewed slowly for a couple of bites, exchanged a glance with Xu Shaoting, and nodded together.

Indeed, the craftsmanship is superb.

He couldn't even utter a single word, his hand still busy picking up food.

Seeing their hesitant expressions and the continued talking, I grabbed the bag without saying a word.

When they saw the crayfish that Qin Yu mentioned, both of them were stunned.

No one dared to make a move.

Only after Qin Yu demonstrated did they begin to eat.

"Mmm~ It tastes really good!"

These were the words I spoke the most that night.

The two, who were about to speak, instead focused their words on the food.

I especially enjoyed the crayfish; I don't know why, but I just couldn't stop eating them.

I never expected that this simple crayfish would have two different flavors.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they finally put down their chopsticks with satisfaction.

Looking at Qin Yu in front of him, Xu Shaoting felt that he had to keep her firmly under his control.

With her culinary skills, she could easily make a fortune from any dish she makes.

He was also glad that she chose to cooperate with him. If she had really cooperated with Lin Jingui, he would have been no match for her.

With that in mind, he decided that he would listen to her no matter what.

"Oh my, I'm so lucky to be able to eat such delicious food!"

Cui Ming couldn't help but sigh, "I received the manuscript yesterday and was about to leave."

I heard that Qin Yu is going to cook today, so I've decided to wait another day.

I heard that she made the rich soup base and mushroom soup at Yunlaiju.

She even made the fish balls and meat balls.

That's when I had the idea of ​​wanting to try it myself!

Unexpectedly, I actually made a profit this time.

"Did you come up with all of this yourself? I've never seen these ingredients before?"

Cui Ming couldn't help but ask.

"Especially these crayfish, they're really delicious, and they even come in two flavors, like garlic, they're so fragrant!"

Cui Ming was still not finished.

"This is seasonal; now is the perfect time to eat it!"

Perhaps it won't be long before someone gets scared.

The crayfish will climb onto the ridges of the fields, so people will find them.

"Okay, so where can we find this stuff, Qin Yu? We're business partners, do you think these crayfish could..."

Xu Shaoting's meaning was simple: since it was the season for eating it, they certainly couldn't miss this opportunity to make money.

He believed that once it was made, it would definitely be a huge hit.

It all depends on whether Qin Yu is willing to sell him the formula.

What does it matter if he pays a high price?

He knew that Qin Yu's abilities were not limited to this; the recipes for any dish on the table were enough for him to eat.

Therefore, he was well aware that he could not rely solely on personal relationships and connections.

"Don't worry, price is not a problem!"

Qin Yu understood what he meant.

Crayfish are indeed a good thing.

"Sure!" Qin Yu nodded in agreement; there was no shortage of opportunities to make money.

"However, there's only one flavor available; the other flavor is missing ingredients!"

Qin Yu also raised the issue.

The garlic cloves were originally intended for seed production, but they were all used to cook crayfish.

The several hundred kilograms she harvested were simply not enough to consume.

In the end, not even the seeds could be preserved, so all that could be done was to make a Thirteen Spices.

Thirteen Spices doesn't need to worry about itself anymore.

She knew the proper proportions of the thirteen spices, so she wasn't afraid at all.

"Of course, no problem!"

Xu Shaoting dared not say a word against it. Let alone just one flavor, one flavor was enough for him to make a fortune.

The problem isn't with the ingredients; the problem is with the formula.

Even if someone learns how to prepare crayfish later, the taste is what matters, so he's not worried about that at all.

As long as Qin Yu is willing to sell her the formula and teach her, nothing will be a problem.
