Lord of Rot

At the lunch table, there was seafood placed in front of Li Qi. The rough binding method caused the crab claws and legs to fall off.

The oysters have been boiled open, and the small shells picked up from the sea are still spitting sand in the wooden basin in the back kitchen. They will become a thick soup in the evening.

The mashed garlic is placed in a small cup, and on the right side are two cut lemons.

Li Qi picked up a crab, cut the rope with a knife, and then gently broke it apart with his bare hands. The plump crab roe made his eyes light up. The seafood flavor in his mouth instantly brought Li Qi back to his memory. It was the dining table of the nobles. Delicious food? Or is it the excitement of seaside food stalls in the 21st century? Probably all.

The only thing that is certain is that there is no going back.

Sprinkle lemon on the oyster meat and add a little garlic paste. Steamed oysters with garlic paste are actually good, but for the first time, don't increase the difficulty and make the chef more busy.

……

"Are you sure these things are edible?"

In the castle kitchen, the servants gathered together, and the baron's leftovers were left to them, and they were happy to do so.

Fried steak, the occasional roasted crow and heron, and even venison if they were hunting.

Although they didn't eat much, the taste haunted them.

What was in front of them today was... a demon caught from the sea.

Mrs. Chickadee looked at Chef Barrel suspiciously: "Mr. Barrel, are you sure this is our lunch?"

"This is a delicacy specially arranged by the adults. He said that in Donggang City in Dongxia, all the big shots eat this." Jiugong used to work in Tieshi City. He talked about his experience: "I have seen some sales in Tieshi City." The oyster vendor pours lemon and sour vinegar on it and sells it for 3 bronze stars each!"

The wine barrel picked up a piece of oyster and introduced it, which immediately caused a burst of exclamation from the maids.

3 Bronze Stars? Why don't you buy bread but eat this thing? Rich people are really luxurious!

After getting the attention of the ladies, the wine barrel opened the oyster proudly, poured the sour vinegar on it leisurely, and then swallowed the meat whole into his mouth.

There was too much vinegar, and his expression was a little ferocious, but the delicious taste that followed made him smile.

The ladies followed suit, but there were not many oysters left for them, and everyone just had a taste of oysters.

"Can this kind of sea spider be eaten?" Mrs. Titmouse asked. She was not full at all. She just poured it into her mouth, and the smooth and tender meat mixed with sour vinegar and lemon juice got into her mouth. Unable to retain them, the tongue only scratched a hint of sweetness, and then the oyster meat slipped into the throat and entered the stomach.

Seeing the expressions of enjoyment on the others' faces, she wanted to have another one, but it was gone.

Jiugong looked at the steamed red crab that was tied with a rope by himself, and hesitantly said: "It should be... okay."

"I don't want to eat this food!" The person who spoke was a tall maid. She was really tall, about the same height as Baron Reacher, but her personality was a bit paranoid and childish: "This disgusting thing, Like demons, I can imagine the white liquid flowing out of their bodies trembling in my mouth, vomiting..."

She retched for a while. No one would eat the spiders on land, let alone the terrifying fist-sized sea spiders in the sea.

"I would rather eat white mud"

In times of famine when there was no grass growing, people without grass or tree bark would eat white mud, but at the cost of being unable to digest it and eventually being bloated to death.

Mrs. Chickadee felt that she was making a fuss: "You are not a noble lady, how can you choose what you like to eat and what you don't like? If adults can eat it, we can eat it!"

Although she said this, she did not reach out to pick up the crab. She didn't know where to start with such a hard thing. She just said that just because she didn't like others to insult the noble lords, especially Baron Li Qi, who was very kind to them.

The tall maid pursed her lips, as if she was about to cry, but she also knew that she might have offended the baron who had given them food.

"You haven't eaten yet?" The valet Pitchfork came back with a plate and found several people sitting around: "This food is delicious!"

He poured the plate into a wooden bucket filled with water, then walked over and picked up a stone crab, untied the rope and opened the lid: "Look, the yellow part, adults say this is crab roe, the most delicious thing is here."

Pitchfork applied the experience he had just learned. Eating is instinctive. He picked up the crab claws, crushed them with his back molars, and ate the crab meat inside.

"Do you still have the wine barrel and garlic paste?"

Chef Barrel handed the baron's unused portion of the minced garlic to Pitchfork: "Here, here it is."

The pitchfork dipped the crab leg meat peeled off with the teeth into the garlic paste and put it into his mouth.

He gnawed it and peeled it off, which made several other people salivate when they saw it. Their delicious expressions didn't look like they were faking it.

"If you don't want to eat it, then leave it to me." Pitchfork reached out to grab it, but several people quickly grabbed it.

They imitated pitchforks and found something edible and delicious.

The tall maid who just now said she would rather eat white mud, after carefully chewing each crab leg, said with unfinished content: "It tastes so delicious!"

dinner.

Li Qi drank the clam chowder, but thought in his heart: "I have to make it clear to the barrel next time, and I must not change my recipe."

The onions and garlic in the clam chowder made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Simon, what's wrong?" Li Qi looked at "Rabbit" Simon, his butler.

He had been hesitant to speak since just now.

"You are very kind, my lord," Simon said, "but you should not be too kind to those servants. Just now I heard them starting to look forward to what you will eat tomorrow. They have taken your kindness for granted. "

"Is the seafood delicious?" Li Qi asked, putting down his cup.

"It's very delicious, my lord." Simon nodded: "I have never tasted such delicious and luxurious food, it's like..."

Seeing that he was about to bite the bullet, Li Qi quickly interrupted: "It's just something I can't finish eating, Simon, I want to know more than this, do I have enough medicinal materials?"

"Three species were delivered at noon today, and two species were delivered in the afternoon." Simon nodded: "The farmers are still searching hard."

"grown ups!"

Pitchfork ran into the castle in panic and knelt on the ground trembling: "Sir, our territory is in trouble!"

"What?" Li Qi stood up immediately.

Who would fancy their own barren porcupine collar?

"Yes, it's a bear, a fiery red bear!" Pitchfork said in horror: "A farmer ran back just now. When they went into the woods to collect medicine, they disturbed the bear. It jumped out and killed two people. indivual!"

Li Qi frowned: "Where's the bear?"

"Already running towards the porcupine collar."

"I'll go take a look." Li Qi took the torch and the long sword handed over by the servant with trembling hands.

Outside the castle, the strong men of the porcupine collar gathered together, holding torches.

They were on level ground away from the houses, preparing to fend off the terrible beast.

There is also a security management team. They wear leather armor and hold axes and pitchforks. They maintain law and order in peacetime. In wartime, they will be the first to follow the baron on the battlefield.

"Sir!" Luo Qian saw Li Qi approaching and bent his already hunched back a little more.

Li Qigang was about to ask.

"Roar!!" came the roar of the bear.

The ground trembled slightly.

Against the backdrop of the fire, a giant bear with red hair rushed towards the crowd. It was two times larger than the bears Li Qi had seen. It was unclear whether its hair was originally red or because it was stained with human blood. It was red all over. .
