Princess Yongning sighed and said, "I haven't prepared anything. Every year, I sit around the stove with my aunt at night, eat some snacks, and chat. That's it."
"Auntie doesn't want to make too much noise."
"So if I make a big fuss about it, she won't be happy, she'll be angry."
Zhao Hao shook his head slightly: "Even if we don't make a big fuss, there is still a way!"
Upon hearing this, Princess Yongning's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up.
"Do you have any good ideas?"
Zhao Hao smiled mysteriously and said, "Of course I have a way, just leave it to me!"
"I will make sure that my aunt has a birthday she has never had before."
"Just one more thing."
Princess Yongning was immediately curious: "What else?"
Zhao Hao said, "I didn't prepare any gifts. The clock can only be considered as a daily item, not a birthday gift."
Princess Yongning said: "Don't blame me. I forgot to tell you about this because of the urgency of the time."
Zhao Hao shook his head and said, "I don't mean to blame you, it's just that at the moment, I couldn't think of what to give you."
Princess Yongning helped to think about it, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
"By the way, how about you draw a sketch for Auntie, just like we did during the literary duel?"
Zhao Hao's heart was moved, but he still said: "A simple sketch, this gift seems a little light, right?"
Princess Yongning said, "You are wrong. A painting is just right, not too light or too heavy. If you can write a poem, it will be even better. It will also let Aunt know your talent and make her believe that I am not bragging."
Zhao Hao was startled, then asked, "Your Highness, did you brag for me in front of my aunt last night?"
Princess Yongning immediately said angrily: "No, I am just telling the truth."
"It's just that the things you did were too incredible, and Auntie doesn't quite believe it."
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "In that case, let's do as Your Highness said and draw a sketch for my aunt."
After a pause, Zhao Hao continued: "In addition to painting, I have a secret weapon."
"At night, it will definitely open your eyes."
After hearing what he said, Princess Yongning immediately became interested.
"What is it?"
"I haven't seen it?"
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Of course, otherwise how can I say it's an eye-opener for you."
Princess Yongning quickly asked, "What on earth is that?"
Zhao Hao shook his head and said, "I can't tell you now. Your Highness will know when the time comes."
Princess Yongning rolled her eyes immediately: "It's boring, and so mysterious!"
As the two were talking, there was a light knock on the door.
Zhao Hao was just at the door. He hurried over to open it and saw Jiang Yiren standing at the door.
Jiang Yiren stepped in, and Princess Yongning immediately walked over happily.
"Aunt, didn't you go to morning class?"
Jiang Yiren nodded: "I finished half of the morning class today, and I came back early because I was afraid that you two would be waiting anxiously."
She also knew that neither of them had eaten much last night and must be hungry.
If I don't come back, the two of them will definitely wait for me.
I simply finished half of the morning class and came back early.
Princess Yongning heard this and said coquettishly, "I knew that my aunt loved me the most. She knew that I must be hungry."
"Okay, come and eat!"
Zhao Hao nodded, walked over, put the food box on the table, opened it gently, and took out several dishes one by one.
When she saw those dishes, a strange look suddenly appeared in Jiang Yiren's beautiful eyes.
Princess Yongning said quickly, "Aunt, these are all vegetarian. You must try them carefully."
"If it tastes good, let Zhao Hao leave the cooking method for us."
Jiang Yiren looked at it carefully, then leaned in to smell it, and suddenly became even more curious.
"Why do these dishes smell so good? There are oil spots on them, but I don't smell any meat."
"What's going on?"
Princess Yongning immediately looked at Zhao Hao and said with a smile, "Young Master Zhao, please explain it to me quickly."
Zhao Hao nodded: "Master, this is it, these dishes are all fried, and the oil on them is not animal oil, but vegetable oil squeezed from soybeans."
"Adding the seasonings to the stir-frying process gives it this flavor."
Jiang Yiren didn't blink, looked at Zhao Hao and asked, "Can oil be fried out of soybeans?"
Zhao Hao nodded slightly: "Yes, it is precisely because of the vegetable oil pressed from soybeans that we can cook."
“The hot pan brings out the flavors of the ingredients.”
Seeing that Zhao Hao's words made sense, Jiang Yiren believed a little more of what Princess Yongning said last night.
Although Mr. Zhao is very young, his words and actions reveal a calmness that is inconsistent with his age.
Moreover, he described the whole process in such detail that it certainly was not done by someone else.
However, she still found it hard to imagine that this young man in front of her would be as magical as Yongning said.
Princess Yongning hurriedly said, "Aunt, come and taste Zhao Hao's cooking!"
Jiang Yiren nodded and immediately sat down on the stool.
Princess Yongning sat next to her, and Zhao Hao sat opposite them.
Jiang Yiren's beautiful eyes fell on the bowl of Chinese cabbage stewed with frozen tofu in the middle, and she immediately asked curiously:
"What is this?"
"I have never seen one."
Princess Yongning quickly introduced: "Aunt, this is a kind of food called tofu, which is also made from soybeans."
“When it is freshly made, it can be eaten raw directly. It is soft, sticky and fragrant.”
"This is what fresh tofu looks like after it's been made, frozen, and then thawed."
"Aunt, please try it. It has a unique flavor."
"By the way, this tofu was also invented by Zhao Hao."
Jiang Yiren looked at Zhao Hao with her beautiful eyes: "This was also invented by Master Zhao?"
Zhao Hao smiled and nodded: "Yes, at that time I wanted to open a restaurant to promote cooking and find a way to make money."
"After much thought, I decided that tofu has the lowest cost, so I made it and sold it for a while."
Princess Yongning said, "Aunt, you don't know that Zhao Hao later gave me the production method, and then I established many tofu workshops in the Imperial Capital."
"Now, this tofu has become a household food in the capital."
"And it's very cheap, even ordinary people can afford it."
Jiang Yiren's beautiful eyes fell on Zhao Hao in a daze. She felt that her brain was not enough.
How come this Mr. Zhao is really omniscient and omnipotent and knows everything?
This is too incredible!
If she were young, she would definitely be distracted at this moment, but after all, she has been practicing for a long time and her concentration is extraordinary.
Although he was repeatedly shocked by what Zhao Hao did, he could still bear it.
Nodding slightly, she gently picked up the bamboo chopsticks and said, "Then let me taste the tofu."
