"My benefactor, I'll come~"

Just as the onion and razor clams were put on the pot, Yu Wuya rushed from somewhere and saw two large pots of fried shells. He was slightly stunned for a moment and rolled up his sleeves and joined the ranks of eating shells.

"Woooo... My husband did not lie. This little shell is so delicious. I'm going to swallow it with my tongue..."

Yu Wuya was like a Taotie monster. He opened his bow with his hands, thorned one shell to the ground, and thorned another shell to the ground. Since he joined in, the two large pots of shells instantly sunk down at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Eat slowly and leave your stomach empty. I still have a few delicious dishes that you haven't eaten before. Don't blame me for not reminding me if I can't eat it later!" Chen Xu skillfully washed the pot and washed the pot, and then began to fry the garlic crumbs of steamed scallops.

Scallops are a general term. They do not refer to a certain type of shell alone. They have many types, but their appearance is similar. The shells of this kind of sea shell are thicker and flatter, just like two folding fans, which are very beautiful and are also common in the sea. However, because the living area is deeper than light shells such as clams, it is not easy to be washed to the shore by the tide, and it is not easy to catch them. Therefore, both size and meat are much better than those of the lowest-grade sea shells such as clams.

The coastal residents do not eat clams and razor clams, but they definitely eat scallops. Moreover, scallops are also quite popular in the market, and the price is similar to many precious sea fish.

The most important thing is that fishermen have another important reason to catch scallops, that is, picking beads.

Scallops are one of the most important sources of sea beads.

The huge scallops can be several feet long, and the pearls in the scallops are much higher than those in the lake clams. If you can venture into the deep sea to get a big pearl, it will be enough for the whole family to eat and drink for several years.

Therefore, there are not only fishermen on the sea, but also some professional pearl pickers.

Pearl picking is also a skill recognized by the court and is a skill that can be passed down. Therefore, the pearl pickers along the coast are actually all ancestral skills passed down from generation to generation. In order to meet the requirements of the court and the Shaofu, these pearl pickers have to search in the sea all year round, dive into the sea for many years to find shells and pick pearls, and they will be buried in the sea if they are not careful. Therefore, the pearl pickers are definitely a group of suffering, and they live more miserable than ordinary fishermen.

Chen Xu naturally knew a lot about the misery of coastal fishermen, but in this great era, there are indeed many solutions.

Even if he was able to push the laws to loosen the legal shackles imprisoned on the heads of fishermen and pearl collectors, so that they could choose their jobs freely, this tradition of relying on the sea to eat the sea has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow and cannot be changed for hundreds or thousands of years.

The garlic crumbs are fried quickly, and the strong aroma is scented in a large bowl.

Then put water in a large pot, put it on the steamer, then place the scallops that have been cut and washed, put the soaked vermicelli, add the scallop meat, add the fried garlic, pour a little sesame oil, soy sauce, and brown sugar sauce, and then put it in the pot to steam.

There are more than 100 scallops of different sizes, and there are several oysters mixed in. Chen Xu picked out more than 20 sizes suitable for the revolutionary head to make this dish evenly, and it was just a demonstration. The rest were still kept in fish baskets for these chefs to learn how to make and explore experience.

After today, the dishes he made on Zhoushan Island will soon spread and will soon become local specialty food in Kuaiji.

"Mr. Marquis, how do you make these abalone?" Looking at the steaming of scallops, a chef in the Hou Mansion brought a basin of abalone soaked in clean water to ask.

Abalone is definitely the most expensive seafood. It is known as the best seafood. It not only has rich nutritional value, but also has extremely high medicinal value.

The "Shennong Bencao Jing", known as the originator of Chinese Medical Classics, records abalone. It is a mild nature and sweet taste. It enters the liver meridian and kidney meridian, which is a good medicine. The Compendium of Materia Medica in later generations listed it as one of the eight treasures in the sea, which shows the extremely high recommendation of its value of both medical and food supplements.

Abalone is not only precious, but also rare. It lives several feet deep in the seabed, and is extremely difficult to catch, and is more than a hundred times less sparse than scallops. The fishermen are lucky enough to get one or two secretly sold to Juzhang or Wuzhong, and one can buy at least ten yuan. In the restaurant in Wuhuyuan, a can of stewed abalone lotus seed soup costs at least one hundred yuan, and there are only two abalones in it. This shows that no matter what era, abalone is definitely the most expensive seafood.

Most of the fishermen on the coastal coastal fishing abalone did not dare to sell it privately. They would dry it and pay taxes. Then these dried abalones would be transported to Xianyang and handed over to the Shaofu to enter the palace. They were used as supplements for the royal family, and were of the same status as silk and were not allowed to be eaten by civilians.

However, the so-called mountains are high and the emperor is far away. There has always been a tradition of practical abalone among the people. It is impossible for nobles and gentry to not eat them. At most, it is not ostentatious. After all, this Eastern and Western Taoist sorcerers praise it too much. Long-term food can be used to lighten the body, strengthen the body, and prolong life.

Moreover, the rituals and music have long been broken, and the tradition of the princes not killing cattle for no reason, the doctors not killing sheep for no reason, the scholars not killing dogs and pigs for no reason, and the common people not eating treasures for no reason. In addition, the food culture constantly promoted by the Qinghe Hou, the folk pursuit and demand for various delicacies has reached a fanatical level. Any family with a slightly wealthy family has changed their previous eating habits and has begun to use new cooking methods such as frying, stir-frying, cooking and frying promoted by newspapers to improve the quality of life.

Therefore, in this era of food explosion, abalone, sea cucumber, which were once only enjoyed by royal families and nobles, has now begun to be sold in food halls and restaurants. Even wealthy and powerful families have begun to blatantly buy and enjoy it. Governments in various places have turned a blind eye. Many officials still want to eat it themselves, and even call on friends to eat it.

The various reforms implemented by Chen Xu not only enhanced the vitality of the Qin Dynasty from the court to the people, but also greatly shook the rigorous concept of hierarchy in the past. Many of the strict etiquettes of hierarchy that were usually followed also began to loosen, causing the Qin Dynasty to collapse and lose music.

There are only five abalones, and they are all very large. When it comes to these precious things, Chen Xu picked them up and watched them carefully to think about how to eat them.

He has eaten dried abalone in Xianyang, and it is not small.

Every time the emperor had something to do or not, he would appreciate a lot of things, including silk, fur, gold, silver and jewelry. The most rewarded were all kinds of ingredients, which were extremely luxurious and precious things, such as rhino tongue, elephant pull, hump, bear paw, venison, swan, sea cucumber, abalone, etc., and of course, tiger whip, deer antler, old mountain ginseng and other great tonics with the same origin of medicine and food. Anyway, as long as it was found in the palace, whenever someone contributed, the emperor would not forget to arrange a few cars for Chen Xu.

With the help of his kind, Chen Xu will never forget the First Emperor whenever he gets any good things, invents any novel things, or makes any delicious things.

The two monarchs and ministers are now a model of the relationship between monarchs and ministers in history. The relationship is as good as wearing a pair of pants.

Dried abalone must be drained before eating, but fresh abalone is not needed. Moreover, it is still alive now, so there are few opportunities to eat fresh abalone, so Chen Xusi decided to eat it raw.

Although he only ate salmon raw, the tradition of eating raw seafood has been around since ancient times. Fresh abalone was also the best sashimi in later generations. Only in star-rated restaurants with high levels can they be tasted.

"Mr. Marquis, there is enough seafood today. Abalone is a treasure in the sea. It is rare to see it on weekdays. It is best to eat it alone!" The chef of the Marquis's mansion carefully reminded next to him.

"Well, you're right. There's enough seafood today. I'm afraid I can't taste the deliciousness of abalone when I make it. Take the abalone and continue to raise it and eat it tomorrow!" Chen Xu agreed with this point of view very much. Today, there are several large pots of various seafood, and there are still a few that I haven't made. I'm afraid I can't taste the feeling of high-end ingredients if I make it later.

After the abalone was taken away, Chen Xu rolled up his sleeves and prepared to get the last dish, which was also the dish that Chen Xu was most looking forward to during this trip to the beach, iron plate squid.

Before I traveled through time, I belonged to the poor class, had eaten seafood and visited the food stall many times. I have never eaten high-end products such as abalone and oysters. Every time I call my friends to eat the most, this iron plate squid is.

The squid was placed in a large enamel washbasin, both large and small, the large ones were about two pounds, and the small ones were six or seven ounces. There seemed to be some other varieties mixed in it, such as squid and octopus. Chen Xu was not a person who grew up by the beach, so he couldn't tell the difference between these soft objects that were not only the beginning but the legs.

But in fact, there is no need to distinguish it too clearly. It is basically the same when it is fried on iron plate.

Under Chen Xu's command, three kitchen workers picked up the knife and scissors and began to deal with these brachiopods who were still flipping around in the basin. They broke their abdomen and heartbrokenly removed the internal organs, their eyes, nose, ears, mouth, and eyebrows were cleaned, and in the end they were only a head capsule and soft tentacles.

After a pot of squid was finished, the steamer had already emitted a strong aroma, and the garlic vermicelli scallops had been steamed, so Chen Xu ordered the chef to put the dish on the pot.

Looking at the plates of scallops brought out from the steamer and the rich fragrance that emitted almost the air, Yu Wuya and a group of women instantly stopped eating clams and razor clams, all looking at the scallops with eager eyes.

The taste of this scallop far exceeds all the delicious food they have eaten. In an instant, it seems that the extremely delicious clams just now are not so delicious.

"Come on, bring the scallops and the prepared clams to the mat!" Faced with such a group of eyebrow diners, Chen Xu had to instruct the chef to take away the prepared clams, razor clams, scallops, and several spicy crabs, water-burned shrimps, cold kelp and other dishes prepared by the chef on the stove next to him.
