When Lu Xuan and his party returned to the camp, the sun was setting.
The golden glow falls on the seaside in the distance, making the sea and sky the same color, making the scenery gorgeous and colorful.
Lu Xuan entered the camp, and Xun You greeted him. He heard about Lu Xuan taking people out to catch seafood, and now he was very curious when he saw the accompanying soldiers carrying lobsters and abalones in net bags.
However, when Xun You saw the big lobsters, he was frightened by the ferocious big lobsters. He looked around and found that there was not even a serious fish, and all of them were unknown to Xun You. He looked suspicious and asked: "Your Majesty
,Is this what you gained?"
"certainly!"
Lu Xuan smiled and nodded.
Xun You frowned and said: "We are currently in the Japanese country and don't know anything about the Japanese country. Whether the food in the sea can be eaten is also a big problem. What if we are poisoned after eating it?"
Lu Xuan confidently said: "Don't worry Gongda, these lobsters and fish can be eaten, they are extremely delicious."
Xun You said: "Your Majesty, I suggest you not eat it for the time being. It is better to be on the safe side. As long as we are all safe, it will be safe to attack Tokugawa Ieyasu next. If you eat these now, you will be in trouble for poisoning. I still say it is safe.
For the sake of safety.”
"Gongda, you don't understand!"
Lu Xuan shook his head directly.
Xun You was good at strategy and good at making suggestions, but he didn't know much about overseas affairs and seafood.
I'm not from the coast, so I don't know much about seafood.
What's more, even the coastal people of this era rarely came into contact with lobsters and abalones. Later on, with the continuous development of the south, the understanding of seafood gradually became more important and developed slowly.
Xun You changed the topic and asked: "Your Majesty, how do you eat these big lobsters?"
Lu Xuan replied: "Gongda, just follow me. I'll make sure you're satisfied with your meal. If you eat it once, you'll definitely want to eat it a second time."
Xun You smiled and said, "I'll wait and see."
"Let's go."
Lu Xuan led people into the camp and went straight to the kitchen, where he asked the soldiers to prepare large pots, garlic and other necessary items.
After all the supplies were prepared, Lu Xuan handled the lobster himself. He was the only one who knew how to handle this thing, and looking at the fearful looks on each of the cooks, Lu Xuan knew that these people were not trustworthy for the time being.
Lu Xuan first urinated on the lobster, then washed the lobster's shell, and then cut off the lobster's small claws, leaving the large pliers.
These treatments are simple.
Lu Xuan washed the lobster, cut the lobster in half in the middle, removed the shrimp line, then opened the head and removed the gills and stomach pouch, and cleaned it carefully. These methods are not complicated, Lu Xuan demonstrated
Once you do it once, the cook will learn it.
Lu Xuan asked the cook to handle the remaining lobster. He started to make minced garlic, and then used a large pot to stir-fry the minced garlic until fragrant.
There are no fans in the military, and there are none in this era.
Lu Xuan adopted a relatively primitive method, placing the cleaned lobster in a large basin, covering it with sauteed garlic, and then steaming it in a steamer.
When steaming lobster, Lu Xuan personally demonstrated how to handle abalone and conch. If there was no other way, abalone and conch were eaten with minced garlic, sauteed until fragrant, then spread on top and steamed.
As for the caught fish, they are cleaned, marinated and grilled before eating.
After everything was done, Lu Xuan stood aside and waited.
Hot steam came out of the steamer.
The garlic tastes very strong when eaten directly, but after being fried and put on abalone and lobster, it is mixed with the aroma of seafood after steaming, and the taste is very fragrant. At this moment, the smoke is lingering, and the faint aroma floats out with the heat, making the mouth and tongue salivate.
Cao Cao's eyes lit up, his eyes became expectant, and he asked: "Your Majesty, the aroma has come out, is it ready to eat?"
"No hurry, wait a little longer!"
Lu Xuan shook his head.
He leaned over and sniffed lightly, smelling the aroma of seafood.
Lu Xuan counted the time and waited for a while before someone opened the steamer and took out a large pot of garlic lobster. He called Cao Cao, Sun Shangxiang, Guo Jia, Xun You, Xu Chu, Dian Wei and others, and said, "Come and try it all.
try."
"I'll go first."
Cao Cao smelled it and couldn't help it.
He took the chopsticks and picked up a bit of the meat from the tail of the big lobster, mixed it with the steamed minced garlic, and it was rich and fragrant. Especially the meat of the big lobster was very tender, and it also had the unique fragrance of seafood, which made people extremely addicted.
“Delicious, indeed delicious!”
Cao Cao couldn't help but stretched out his chopsticks again and continued to pull into his mouth.
After Xun You ate it, he looked convinced and praised: "Your Majesty is wise, I have opened my eyes."
Guo Jia ate the lobster without saying a word.
Eating and drinking is his hobby.
Unfortunately, there is no wine.
Lu Xuan gave Sun Shangxiang a piece, and he ate some too. Instead, he gave some to He Laoliu and other personal guards around him to taste. After all, these people were just ordinary guards and did not dare to come forward.
.
I ate all the big lobster meat in a big bowl and licked all the shrimp shells clean.
After Guo Jia finished eating, he once again sighed with emotion: "Your Majesty, the taste of lobster is really great. In addition, after the big lobster is steamed, it is red all over and has a bright color, which is even more popular. It is indeed a real delicacy. But,
There is one biggest shortcoming.”
Lu Xuanxiao asked: "Does being filial piety mean lack of wine?"
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
Guo Jia looked regretful.
There is good food, but no good wine. It is really unsatisfactory and has a fly in the ointment.
Lu Xuan looked relaxed and said: "After we capture the Japanese country and build it up, we will also make wine in the Japanese country."
Guo Jia nodded and said, "I'll wait and see."
Cao Cao's eyes were bright and he continued: "Your Majesty, we are stationed here. We have to wait for the warships to arrive, and it will take some time before we can set off. Simply, let the soldiers go to the beach to catch big lobsters. It would be a pity not to catch more lobsters like this."
Lu Xuan replied: "First, the tide tends to rise at night, which is very dangerous on the beach. Second, if there are too many people participating in fishing in one place, it is easy to cause commotion and scare away the lobsters."
"Of course you can continue to catch lobsters, but you have to be careful. In addition, there are more large lobsters in deeper places. If you can dive and swim, you can try to go deeper, and the seafood you catch will be better.
"
Lu Xuan said: "In a word, pay attention to safety."
Cao Cao said: "I understand."
Having said that, Cao Cao has made up his mind and is preparing to arrange for people to catch giant lobsters.
Lobster tastes good and must be eaten.
Lu Xuan looked at the steamers containing steamed abalone, conches and oysters, and ordered them to be opened and taken out. As the smoke lingered, a faint fragrance lingered around, and the surroundings were fragrant, and the fragrance was even more refreshing.
Lu Xuan called for everyone to eat. He picked up the processed abalone and ate it with a little minced garlic.
It's soft and tender in the mouth, very delicious.
Everyone was fighting over it, but Sun Shangxiang didn't eat it because Lu Xuan told her in advance. She was really not interested in such food.
The harvest at the beach in the afternoon was all eaten in a short time. Lu Xuan didn't eat much, only nine abalones and some lobsters, and then he took Sun Shangxiang straight back to the camp to rest.
