Chapter 300: Grandparents and Grandchildren Eating Sea Urchin for the First Time
The table was filled with various seafood, including crabs, shrimps, shellfish, etc., which made people salivate at the sight.
Liu Chenfeng happened to say at this time: "Grandpa, this is the seafood feast that the grandfather and grandson brought back for their grandson that I told you about. Come and try it."
The old man of the Liu family looked at the seafood feast in front of him with some doubts, and asked uncertainly: "Chen'er, are you sure these are edible?" As he said that, he specifically pointed to the steamed egg with sea urchin in the shell.
Liu Chenfeng replied uncertainly: "Probably!"
Then he asked the cook who was responsible for preparing these dishes to come out and explain them.
After making sure it wasn't their mistake, they tentatively picked up a sea urchin steamed egg and ate a spoonful.
"Hmm... why does this taste so delicious? It's completely different from the steamed eggs I've had before!"
As he spoke, he had already finished one and was about to move on to the next one.
Seeing that he was eating with relish and it didn't seem like he was pretending, Old Man Liu finally couldn't hold back anymore. He then imitated Liu Chenfeng and started to eat with relish.
During this time, Liu Chenfeng asked the cook, "Do you know what this dish is called?"
Cook: "Sea urchin steamed egg."
Liu Chenfeng pointed to the next one that also had a shell and asked again.
The cook replied, "Oysters with garlic sauce."
In this way, the two of them ate while the cook introduced the dishes to the side. Occasionally, when she found something she recognized, she would say, "I know this, it's abalone."
Cook: “Yes.”
After lunch, both the grandfather and grandson were stuffed to the gills. Old Man Liu, in particular, cheerfully praised them, "The people you've met this time are truly remarkable. Just look at the delicious dishes on this table; you can tell they must have put a lot of thought into preparing these ingredients."
Liu Chenfeng was about to answer, of course.
Liu Erhu interrupted, saying, "Master, you're absolutely right about that. You don't know that the girl not only prepared a good gift for you, but she also prepared a lot! And before I left, she specifically told me to come back quickly, otherwise these things would become stale."
The cook had seen them finish eating and was cleaning up.
After hearing what he said, she smiled and continued, "Yes, Master. Miss Liu has given me many recipes, but I noticed that many of the seafood wasn't particularly fresh, so I only made these few. If I had waited a day, I think they might have gone bad."
After hearing what they said, Liu Chenfeng muttered to himself, "If this really goes bad, what a pity!" But from what they said, if they only rely on their family to eat, they will definitely not be able to finish it. Hey, he suddenly had an idea and came up with another good idea to make money.
Then he instructed the servant who came with him, "Ake, go to the kitchen with the cook and see how much seafood is left. If there's a lot, keep some of the freshest ones and cook them for the rest of the family tonight. Send the rest to Liao Zhai and have them prepare it using the cook's recipe. As for the price, just keep it the same as our signature dish."
Looking at him, who seemed to be obsessed with money and whose mind was full of thoughts about how to make money, Old Master Liu couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
Perhaps he wanted to out of sight, out of mind! He turned around and asked Liu Erhu about the second brother's family's recent situation.
Because Liu Erhu was in a hurry to get back, he didn't stay long in the second master's mansion. Now when the old man asked him, he was at a loss for words.
But fortunately, he and the second master met again in the county government office, so what he told the old man in the end was basically about his affairs in the county government office.
When Mr. Liu heard that he was going to help the second son solve the case, he became even more excited.
Finally, after understanding everything that had happened, he curiously asked Liu Erhu, "Based on your observation, were those words that Master Zhu said to the Second Brother an excuse? Or..."
