After Gu Yanyue tasted it, she also gave Yuwen Ran a taste. Yuwen Ran couldn't believe that such delicious porridge was actually made by himself.

Moreover, I was a complete novice in the kitchen yesterday, but my cooking skills made a qualitative leap here within just one day, and I stepped from a novice into the threshold of culinary skills in one step.

Gu Yanyue stood on tiptoe, patted Yuwen Ran's shoulder, and said in a comforting tone: "Ah Ran, work hard, maybe one day you will become a chef. It's still difficult to reach my level, but there is still a chance that you can surpass the chefs employed in my restaurant."

After hearing Gu Yanyue's praise, Yu Wenran was very pleased that his cooking skills might be even better than those of the chefs in Gu Yanyue's restaurant in the future.

The chef in Gu Yanyue's restaurant is not as good as Gu Yanyue's cooking skills.

But it was also taught by Gu Yanyue bit by bit, and his skills were no worse than those of the imperial chef in the palace's imperial kitchen.

From then on, Yu Wenran’s cooking skills would be better than the chefs in Gu Yanyue’s restaurant, and naturally he would be better than the imperial chefs in the palace’s imperial kitchen as well.

The more Yu Wenran thought about it, the more he felt that as long as he was allowed to continue improving his cooking skills, he would be able to reach the same level as Gu Yanyue sooner or later.

Seeing that Yuwen Ran was still feeling proud, Gu Yanyue did not say anything to undermine Yuwen Ran's self-confidence.

He also didn't tell Yu Wenran that red date porridge is a food that anyone can cook. If someone can't even make it well, then his cooking skills are completely hopeless.

Gu Yanyue stayed in the yard for another two days to heal her wound. When she felt that the wound would not split open due to her exertion, she went to the kitchen and planned to reward Yu Wenran for his hard work in taking care of her since she was injured.

Gu Yanyue planned to make wontons for him this time. After all, her wound had not healed yet, and she didn't dare to cook those wontons for Yu Wenran, for fear that her wound would split before the dish was finished.

But Gu Yanyue did not make traditional wontons for Yu Wenran. After wrapping the wontons, she heated oil in a pan.

After the pot was heated, she first added a handful of chopped green onions, stir-fried them until fragrant, and then put the wontons she had just wrapped into the pot.

Gu Yanyue originally thought that she could turn over the wontons without using a spatula, just by using the handle of the pot.

However, Gu Yanyue, mindful of her own wounds, refrained from any action that might cause them to rupture. She could only use a spatula to flip the wontons over one by one, frying both sides until golden brown. The chopped green onions she had just sautéed were even on top, looking incredibly delicious.

Gu Yanyue flipped it a few more times, then asked the palace maid she had just called in to help her take the pot out of the pot and put it aside. Then she grabbed a handful of white sesame seeds and threw them into the still steaming pot. After a while, the wontons were evenly covered with white sesame seeds.

Gu Yanyue put all the wontons in the pot into a plate, and saw the golden fried wontons lying obediently in the plate. They were fried by Gu Yanyue until they were thin, crispy and crystal clear, and sprinkled with chopped green onions and white sesame seeds. This plate of fried wontons looked very beautiful.

In addition to making one for Yu Wenran, Gu Yanyue also made one for Qin Ruoruo and He Fangyan.

If Qin Ruoruo and He Fangyan had not arrived in time, I would probably not be able to stand here and make fried wontons for Yu Wenran.

After Gu Yanyue finished making the fried wontons, she deftly made a sweet and sour dipping sauce. The fried wontons and the dipping sauce would be perfect if they could be served with a bowl of hot soup or steaming soy milk.

Gu Yanyue put all these on a tray, asked the palace maid to carry it and follow her, and took her to the flower hall.

When Gu Yanyue got up this morning, she told Yu Wenran that she would meet in the flower hall later and accompany her to appreciate the winter snow.

After Yu Wenran went out to the study to take care of some things, Gu Yanyue called another palace maid to Qin Ruoruo and He Fangyan's courtyard and asked them to have a small gathering in the flower hall later.

Qin Ruoruo, He Fangyan and Yuwen Ran were all invited by Gu Yanyue. When they arrived at the flower hall, they found that there were other people invited besides themselves, and they had arrived earlier than Gu Yanyue. So the three of them could only sit down and chat awkwardly.

When they saw Gu Yanyue and the palace maids enter the flower hall, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, this person who was related to them had arrived, and they didn't have to continue the awkward conversation.

Gu Yanyue had the maid place the fried wontons in front of the three of them, then sat down and said, "Try the fried wontons I just made. You haven't eaten wontons cooked this way, have you? Try it and see if it tastes good. If it suits your taste, I can ask the restaurant owner to add this dish to the menu when I return to the capital."

Seeing that Gu Yanyue was asking them to try her newly developed dish, Yu Wenran and the others didn't hesitate. They reached out and picked up a wonton and put it in their mouths. The fragrance immediately lingered on their lips and teeth, making them want to take another bite.

"Mmm! Delicious! So delicious!"

Yu Wenran then stuffed another wonton into his mouth, praising Gu Yanyue incoherently while stuffing the wonton and said, "This fried wonton is so delicious! It's truly a delicacy!"

"Yes! Your Majesty is absolutely right. Your Majesty, I think if this dish of yours were added to the menu, it would definitely be a profitable dish."

He Fangyan is a businessman. He doesn't look at things as superficially as Yu Wenran does. He thinks in the long term, as if he has already seen that the restaurant opened by Gu Yanyue is crowded with people.

"What do Ruoruo think?" Gu Yanyue saw that Qin Ruoruo had not expressed any opinion, and thought that Qin Ruoruo did not like the fried wontons and asked hurriedly.

Qin Ruoruo was suddenly called by Gu Yanyue, and subconsciously raised her head from the bowl and responded: "I think there is nothing wrong with what His Majesty and Fang Yan said."

Only then did Gu Yanyue notice that there was no wonton left in Qin Ruoruo's bowl. She had eaten it even faster than Yu Wenran and He Fangyan. Qin Ruoruo noticed Gu Yanyue's gaze, smiled sheepishly, and asked softly, "Sister Yue, do you have any more wontons?"

It was rare for Gu Yanyue to see Qin Ruoruo like her cooking so much, but she only made these today. She had no choice but to apologize to Qin Ruoruo: "I'm sorry, Ruoruo, I'm pressed for time today, so I only made these. If you want to eat, I'll make it for you later."

"Okay! Then I'd like to thank Sister Yue first!" Qin Ruoruo raised her head and smiled at Gu Yanyue, "It's always a pleasure to eat the dishes Sister Yue cooks."
