Only Shen Jialuo smiled and said, "It sounds great, does it have any more?"
Lili: "……."
Yang: "..."
There was a storyteller in the lobby of the teahouse telling stories to entertain the tea drinkers. It seems that Shen Jialuo was taking the waiter's stories as a script.
Mrs. Yang smiled awkwardly, quickly ordered two desserts, and sent the waiter to serve them.
After thinking about it for a while, Yang stopped thinking about it.
After all, it's just Pan Wei; he can't possibly affect everyone's scores. Pan Wei sounds pretty impressive; at most, he'll just take the top spot.
Lili, however, kept thinking that Pan Wei might have other roles.
The waiter quickly brought out the pastries, and this time he didn't say anything gossipy. He put down the pastries and left.
The private room had a window on the left that led to the lobby on the first floor, and the street on the right. Shen Jialuo was listening intently to the storyteller's witty and engaging narration.
Yang listened as Lili talked about what kind of new dish she would make next time.
Lili wanted to eat braised goose in an iron pot, but there were no geese at home, only ducks, which were part of a thank-you gift from the Xia family and were kept in a courtyard on the outskirts of Liucheng.
Speaking of which, it was Qin Renjie who took the initiative to find that courtyard for the Xia family. Coincidentally, it was the courtyard of Master Qi.
Yes, it's the place where Lili took Qi Zheng to play.
When Lili found out, she felt a little unlucky, but it was just a place to store some grain, and the courtyard had been sealed off by the county government. The Qi family was in a rather special situation, and there were soldiers guarding the gate.
They didn't even need to bother finding someone to look after the yard.
After a while, when the county government staff are removed, Qin Renjie will find someone to replace them.
"Stewed duck is fine too. Mom, you can simmer it over low heat for half an hour. It will be absolutely delicious, soft and tender!"
As a native of the South, Shen Lili especially loves Northeastern cuisine. Just thinking about stewed goose in an iron pot... oh no, stewed duck in an iron pot makes her mouth water.
Yang imagined in her mind how to make braised goose in an iron pot, as Lili had mentioned. It was relatively simple compared to the previous dishes.
Since her daughter wanted to eat, Madam Yang naturally wanted to satisfy her: "Alright, then you and your brothers go up the mountain to pick some vegetables and put them all in for a big stew."
"Okay, okay."
Pear couldn't wait any longer.
"I wonder if Ziyi would have the honor of tasting this together?"
The people inside looked up at the sound and saw a young man in white walking in with a smile, the lotus flowers on his robes swaying in the breeze.
Zhui Feng gave the waiter who had led the way a tip, and then closed the door behind him after entering.
Lady Yang was startled: "Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Yang Shi wanted to perform the proper greeting, but Gu Ziyi had said that morning that he simply wanted to be friends with Lili, and he also took the initiative to say that the Yang family were his elders. Yang Shi hesitated for a long time, and only called out once.
Gu Ziyi gave a slight bow: "Madam Shen."
Lili didn't expect him to come at this time. He should still be taking exams and be very busy, right?
"Brother Ziyi?" Lili asked, "Why did you come here?"
Zhui Feng took a plate of pea flour cake from the food basket he was carrying and placed it on the table.
Lili looked puzzled, and Gu Ziyi said, "I recently learned how to make pea flour cake. I wonder if Lili could help me taste it?"
As Gu Ziyi spoke, he pushed the two pastries on the table back and quietly moved the pea flour cake to the front of Lili.
Lili, unsuspecting, picked up a piece.
The icy touch startled Pear.
Lili was surprised. Pea flour cakes need to be refrigerated to taste good. This pea flour cake was obviously frozen with ice. Calculating the time, didn't Gu Ziyi make the pea flour cake early in the morning and let it cool for several hours before bringing it over?
Lili took a closer look. The pea-yellow color was light yellow, it looked very delicate, and it smelled strongly of peas.
One bite of the pear reveals its sweet and melt-in-your-mouth texture, refreshing and delightful.
Lili's eyes lit up.
tasty!
This was a bit unexpected for Lili. Not only is His Highness the Crown Prince resourceful, but he also makes such delicious pastries!
Lili didn't hold back her praise: "It's delicious!"
After saying that, as if to prove that what he said was true, he ate two more pieces, and then each of them pinched a piece and stuffed it into the mouths of Yang Shi and Shen Jialuo.
"Mother, brother, is it delicious?"
Shen Jialu ate without a care in the world, while Madam Yang glanced nervously at Gu Ziyi. Only after seeing that his expression remained unchanged and he still had that smiling look did she continue eating.
"It's delicious!" Shen Jialuo's eyes formed crescent moons as she revealed her teeth.
Yang also commented, "It's sweet but not cloying, with a refreshing taste. It's truly excellent."
Lili smiled and said, "Brother Ziyi, look, Lili wasn't wrong, was she?"
Gu Ziyi seemed greatly encouraged, let out a sigh of relief, and said with a smile in a soft voice, "That's good. It's my first time doing this, and I was afraid I wouldn't do it well."
Lili: "Huh? Is this your first time making this? It doesn't look like it at all! It's super delicious!"
Gu Ziyi nodded seriously: "Yes, I learned it from the chef this morning."
Lili exclaimed, "Wow, Brother Ziyi is so talented! It tastes so good on his first try!"
Gu Ziyi smiled and said, "I'm glad Lili likes it."
Lili kept saying "I like it, I like it" while eating, and she didn't forget to give some to Gu Ziyi herself.
The scene was extremely harmonious.
Chasing the Wind: "..."
Who woke up the cooks in the middle of the night last night and ruined seven or eight dishes of pea flour cakes, which were then thrown to the guards until they finally couldn't take it anymore and stopped?
Who was it that got up before dawn to prepare this dish of pea flour cake?
Zhui Feng had mixed feelings, but he didn't say anything.
Hmm, mind your own business.
After Lili had finished eating all the pea flour cakes and was burping with satisfaction, she asked, "By the way, the exams aren't over yet, Brother Ziyi, aren't you busy?"
Gu Ziyi shook his head and poured Lili a cup of tea: "I've been in charge of the first half, and now the officials are in charge of the second half."
"Oh." Lili nodded and took a sip of tea.
"However, I do have some good news."
"oh?"
Gu Ziyi smiled and said, "Your uncle and the others will arrive in the prefectural city in a couple of days."
"real?"
Lili hadn't seen her uncle in a long time and missed him terribly.
Most importantly, I want him to bring back good news.
Madam Yang was also pleasantly surprised: "We'll arrive in the prefectural city tomorrow? Does that mean we can go back to Xinghua Village together?"
After saying that, Madam Yang spat out another sentence: "Look at my mouth, I didn't speak properly at all. I meant to say that my elder brother and the others should stay in the prefectural city for a couple more days, waiting for Sanlang to leave together."
If Shen Laosan passes the formal exam, he will have to take the re-examination the day after tomorrow.
After the re-examination, you can go home, because the results of the re-examination will take at least seven days, and sometimes more than ten days.
