“Crayfish, that’s good stuff. It seems that the water quality in this area is not bad.” Zhou Ying’s eyes lit up when she saw the crayfish.
“Yes, and there are quite a few around.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he brought her downstream. As expected, he found a lot of crayfish and some small crabs in the cracks of the rocks.
However, it was not the season for crabs, so she did not take them.
Instead, she gathered many crayfish and took the opportunity to collect some for the river in her inters.p.a.ce.
After collecting them, the husband and wife called the Third Prince back to the camp.
After returning to the camp, they cleaned up all the fish and prawns. Zhou Ying marinated the small fish and made dried fish and dried shrimp.
After washing the crayfish, she also marinated them with a spicy flavor.
She left some for the young general and brought the rest back to the main camp.
They waited for a while because the Third Prince was not present and only began eating after the Third Prince returned.
However, the Third Prince only ate dried fish and even discarded the head of the fish.
When Gu Chengrui saw this, he removed the sh.e.l.ls of two crayfish and placed them on the Third Prince’s plate. “Don’t just eat the small fish; this crayfish is the real delicacy.”
The Third Prince was disgusted by the strange-looking worms but was too embarra.s.sed to say anything, so he didn’t eat a single one.
When he saw Gu Chengrui giving it to him, he wanted to reject it. But when he saw Zhou Ying eating and enjoying it until oil covered her mouth, the Third Prince hesitated momentarily and finally picked it up and put it in his mouth.
Not only that it didn’t taste bad, but it was also smooth and delicious. It wasn’t inferior to any seafood he’d had before.
He suddenly understood why Zhou Ying, a woman, ate without caring about her image.
However, he didn’t know how to remove the sh.e.l.ls of the crayfish and was too embarra.s.sed to ask his subordinates to help him, so he continued eating only the tiny fish.
Gu Chengrui looked at his awkward expression and was secretly amused that the Third Prince still cared about his image.
If it were Zhou Huai Ming, he would have already started s.n.a.t.c.hing these crayfish.
After that, he explained to the Third Prince where he could and couldn’t eat.
Since only the tails of the crayfish could be eaten in this season, it was a relatively simple explanation.
After trying twice, the Third Prince found the trick and quickly started eating. In a short while, the large basin of crayfish was eaten up by them.
Ultimately, the Third Prince was still unsatisfied, feeling it wasn’t enough.
“Third Prince, when are we leaving?” Zhou Ying asked.
“We’ll leave early tomorrow morning. You guys should rest early tonight.” After the Third Prince finished speaking, he asked his subordinates to clean up the bowls and went out.
Seeing this, the husband and wife went to the kitchen again to get a basket. Later, they went to the river and caught more crayfish at night.
Of course, the main thing was that Zhou Ying was catching them with her spiritual senses. While Gu Chengrui was carrying the basket on his back, he covered them with a wooden board to prevent them from running out.
Not long after, a group of captains walked over with a few torches and two baskets on their backs. The fat kitchen chef smiled and asked, “Doctor Gu, can you see in the dark?”
“I couldn’t before, but it’s much easier on my eyes with your torches. Why? Are you all here to catch crayfish?” Gu Chengrui asked.
“That’s right. I didn’t expect these water worms to be this delicious, so we came over to try catching them. If we can get many of them, we can let everyone have a taste.”
“Let’s hurry up then. Maybe we’ll even strike gold and catch a big fish.” Gu Chengrui said.
When the fat chef saw this, he went down the river some distance away from the couple.
He put some biscuits into one of the baskets and went straight into the water. He picked up the other basket and also started looking for prawns by the river.
Seeing this, Zhou Ying deliberately used her divine sense to surge some prawns over. At the same time, she also gathered some loaches, eels, and a few medium-sized fish into the fat chef’s basket that was placed in the water..
