The two cousins ​​came downstairs, and their mother had just put the snacks on a plate.

"Not only did they have pea flour cake, but they also brought mung bean cake."

In his past life, Yin Zheng didn't have any particular requirements for food; the main thing was that everything he put in his mouth was of the highest quality.

Throughout my life, I have been loved by my parents, but there is one thing I haven't been able to eat very well.

He was essentially reborn as a baby. Yin's mother was Yin's father's second wife. His first wife sacrificed her life, leaving behind a son. Yin's mother was a military doctor and had three sons.

The Yin family now has four sons. When he was born, Yin's mother was over thirty, which was considered an advanced maternal age. If he hadn't come, the child wouldn't have survived.

He was a child pretending to be an adult, viewing the era through the eyes of a child, an ordinary citizen, and a politician, and he found it all amazing.

Looking back from the perspective of history, we can see many problems. However, he adapted to the times and gradually changed some of his habits as an emperor.

Yin Zheng took a piece of pea flour cake, tasted it, and paused. The taste was somewhat familiar; it must be a pastry he had improved later.

Then I tried the mung bean cake, and the taste was somewhat similar to the mung bean cake made in the Yongshou Palace Kitchen.

He couldn't help but eat another piece of mung bean cake.

Liu Shan asked, "How does it taste?"

"Great! Where did you buy it?"

"Hehe, guess?"

Now that Mrs. Yin had gone out, Yin Zheng raised an eyebrow: "Be careful with the black market. Small-scale dealings are fine, but don't get involved in things you shouldn't."

Liu Shan touched his nose and said awkwardly, "How do you know everything? I understand everything, but it's just small-scale stuff. I can't stand sitting in an office every day. I just like making money."

The recipe for pea flour cake was passed down in a woman's family. I helped her out, so this was a thank-you gift. She brought the mung bean cake today; I don't have the recipe, but I'd like to buy it.

Yinzhen thought to himself that the woman might be a descendant of the imperial chef. Of course, she was probably not a descendant he knew. He had studied history and discovered that without Jia Yue, history had taken a turn at a certain point.

The variable was his mother, Consort De.

"Don't bully people."

"That girl's got ideas! She just looks quiet, but I don't bully people. My mom actually likes her quite a bit. Her stepmother killed her biological father, and now she's an orphan. My mom calls her Jia Yue so affectionately..."

Yin Zheng was taken aback, then asked seriously, "What's that girl's name?"

Liu Shan was also stunned: "Her name is Xu Jiayue."

"What's wrong, cousin? Do you know Xu Jiayue?"

Yin Zheng shook his head: "I don't know it, but I think the name sounds nice."

"That's right. I've looked into her family. Her maternal grandparents were both intellectuals, and her mother was even more cultured. It's just a pity that her mother met a man from a poor background! The whole family has had bad luck."

"You just said that her stepmother killed her biological father. Tell me more about it."

Liu Shan told him everything he knew, including the whole story of how he met Jia Yue. After listening, Yin Zheng asked, "Where is the recipe for pea flour cake?"

"That thing is in my rented house."

He couldn't very well bring antique-looking things home.

"I want to see if it's an old thing."

Yin Zheng likes old things, that is, antiques, but they are not easy to collect these days. Only his close friends know about his hobby, and Liu Shan also knows about it.

"Shall I take you there now?"

Yin Zheng nodded: "Let's go."

He desperately wanted to know the result, to know if it was someone he knew.

Liu Shan's family does own property; they just keep it a secret.

Upon arriving at the location, Liu Shan took out the prescription, muttering to himself, "I think the handwriting is unusual, and the paper seems to be quite old; it must be an antique."

As he spoke, he handed the prescription to Yin Zheng.

He paused for a moment after taking the prescription before carefully examining the handwriting. It was Jia Yue's, and the prescription wasn't an old thing; it was paper that had been deliberately aged.

He was certain that Jia Yue had also come with this prescription, though she was probably quite late. He didn't think that Jia Yue, who was destined to be a Noble Consort, would let her stepmother bully her to the point of hospitalization.

The fact that her biological father was killed and her stepmother was punished speaks volumes. It's unlikely that she did it herself, but she was definitely involved in something, such as creating conflict. Otherwise, why would the fact that her stepmother cheated on her father suddenly come to light?

This put him in a good mood; Jia Yue was a familiar place in his past.

"The recipe is good. How much is it? I'll take it."

“Talking about money among brothers hurts our relationship. I’m not very interested in old things. I’ve already had someone make pea flour cake, so there’s no use for this recipe.”

"I won't stand on ceremony with you, thanks."

Liu Shan smiled, and then the two brothers started talking about other things.

On the other hand, after returning home, Jia Yue went to the black market again. She wanted to ask if she could get a bicycle ticket. Her workplace was a bit far from the tenement. Although there were buses, they were too crowded and it was easy to not be able to get on.

Bicycle tickets were in high demand, and there was no way to get one in the short term. Jia Yue thought she would try to exchange a mung bean cake recipe with Liu Shan for one.

The recipe for mung bean cake is definitely more valuable than a bicycle ticket, but Jia Yue has no shortage of recipes for these imperial desserts, so she doesn't feel like she's wasting her money.

Thinking this, she went to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought some things, and came back. She had daily necessities in her space, but it wasn't appropriate to take them out and use them. When Xu Jiancheng was alive, she could only use them secretly. Now that Xu Jiancheng was dead, there were still a lot of savings and ration coupons in the family! They all benefited her alone.

These products aren't exactly high-quality, but the quality is fine. They emphasize safety and health, though they look a bit sloppy.

After getting the location of Jia Yue's workplace from Liu Shan, Yin Zheng suppressed his eagerness to find her immediately. Having lived two lives, his composure was still quite adept.
