As far as she knew, although chefs in restaurants in the Great Jing Dynasty also used sugar for seasoning, they mostly used it in small amounts to enhance the flavor. They never used it for coloring, as she had done.
No wonder Zhao thought she was making a terrible dish.
However, she also knew that her image in Zhao's mind was not very reliable. Rather than wasting her breath explaining, she would rather let the facts speak for themselves later. So she pushed Zhao and walked out.
"Sister-in-law, we don't need your help here for now. Why don't you go and rest for a bit? I'll call you if I need anything."
