The few people who had just said that Kang couldn't be so outrageous and so unrestrained were also shocked at this moment.

There is no such thing as the most outrageous, only more outrageous.

"Is Kang crazy? Even after all this, he still wants Young Master Qin to be friends with his daughter?"

"His eldest daughter is already a teenager, not a child anymore. Doesn't she understand the difference between men and women?"

Fortunately, the second dish was served at this time, and Princess Rui recovered from her shock and quickly spoke to Qin Hexuan's rescue, "Madam Fu, you may not know this yet, but today's chef's cooking skills are excellent.

“You came too late and didn’t get to taste the first course.

"Now the second dish is here, so please take a seat and enjoy it."

Only then did Kang reluctantly take his wife and daughter to sit in the corner of the flower hall.

The second dish served was chrysanthemum fried fish balls.

There is a small dish of dipping sauce in the middle of the plate, and petals are floating in the translucent dipping sauce, which is very beautiful.

There are several chrysanthemums scattered around the dish. The center of each chrysanthemum has been carefully removed, and replaced by a fried meatball that looks golden and crispy.

The meatballs may look ordinary, but once you take a bite you'll find something else inside.

Although it is fried, it does not taste greasy at all because it is mixed with chrysanthemum petals.

When you bite it, you can clearly feel the crispy outer shell and the tender and chewy inner texture.

Finely chopped grass carp meat is mixed with fragrant chrysanthemum petals, then rolled into meatballs and fried in a pan until crispy.

The dipping sauce is sweet and sour, very appetizing.

The deliciousness of the food quickly dispelled the awkwardness, and the hall became lively again. Everyone started discussing who the chef was today.

"I've never eaten these two dishes before. I wonder which chef has come up with this new dish and hid it so well that not a single word of it has leaked out."

"I always feel that they might have been invited back from other places. Although we don't eat these chefs in Beijing and the surrounding areas often, we have eaten them all before. I think the style of this chef today is quite different from theirs."

"No wonder Mr. Jiang dared to invite the princess, it turns out he has a big trick up his sleeve!"

"This trip today was worth it. Not only did we see a great show, but we also had such delicious food."

"No, I'll have to go ask after dinner. This chef's cooking is exactly what I like..."

"You must not invite him back home. We want to invite him back for a banquet."

There was a lot of discussion below, and the Princess of Rui, who was sitting upstairs, was also very happy eating.

After trying the chrysanthemum fried fish balls, she turned to Madam Qin and said, "I always feel that the taste of today's dish is somewhat familiar. It seems like the imperial chef's craftsmanship that I enjoyed when I followed my father to the palace for banquets in my early years."
