The three members of the Salin family exchanged glances.
King Salim asked first, "Niece, what kind of trade do you Quicksand have with the east? Can you tell your uncle now?"
Gu Xin nodded: "It's not something that can't be said, of course it can be said. For example, my father really likes to drink tea, especially tea and porcelain from the east. I like all kinds of silk from there, and all kinds of clothes made from it. Hehe, we girls naturally like pretty dresses. Of course, there's also the food there. I've been back for a year and I often think about the delicacies from the east. Oh, and the wine there is very strong. I had some before I left, and it tasted amazing!"
Helian Yi glanced at Gu Xin and thought to himself, "We can all tell you're a girl, but we really didn't realize you liked pretty dresses."
However, this version of Gu Xin gave Helian Yi a sense of realism.
Gu Xin continued, "This time, the main reason for going east by sea is that my father dotes on me. He often hears me talk about those delicious foods and beautiful clothes, so he sent a group of people there. They should be able to return in the next two months. Uncle Yan, why don't you come back to Liusha Kingdom with me this time? My father will definitely be very happy if you go."
The second prince, Yan Feng, suddenly said, "Princess Xin Xin has lived in the East for so long, relying on Prince A Hai for survival. Surely she knows how to cook some Eastern food? May I ask if Princess Xin Xin would be willing to cook one for us? Of course, if Princess Xin Xin is unwilling, then just pretend I didn't say anything."
Gu Xin nodded without hesitation: "Of course, it would be my greatest honor. However, we'll need to prepare some seasonings."
King Salim was clearly interested in this and wanted to try the delicious food from the east that Gu Xin had mentioned.
The second prince, Yan Feng, said, "Princess, please speak, and we will have our men prepare."
Gu Xin picked up her pen and wrote down several spices that could be found in the west. In order to persuade the Kingdom of Shalin, Gu Xin decided to get some jade bead water.
The most common meats seen in the west are all kinds of meats other than pork, and she plans to make a whole roasted lamb.
Gu Xin is good at everything, but her cooking skills are terrible. No one gave her a chance to learn. She only learned how to roast a whole lamb after eating it with Gu Nian and the others a few times and helping Gu Nian each time. The only things she can make are fillings and marinating various kinds of meat.
While the people around her weren't paying attention, Gu Xin poured the leftover jade bead water into the honey and then brushed it onto the mutton.
I also made lamb skewers and stewed lamb soup.
It's a bit too hot to eat this in this season, but there's no way around it. There aren't enough ingredients here, and even if there were, Gu Xin wouldn't be able to make it.
Seeing the milk in the kitchen, she suddenly had an idea: she could make double-skin milk pudding. Of all the desserts, this was the one she learned to make because she liked it the most.
By noon, Gu Xin had finished everything.
The only people eating were King Salim and his wife, and their four children.
The eldest and second princes are more reserved, but the youngest prince and princess are different.
Especially the little princess; after eating the double-skin milk pudding, her gaze towards Gu Xin became even more intense. King and Queen Shalin were even wondering if this were a prince, their precious daughter would probably be kidnapped after just this meal, tsk tsk...
Gu Xin didn't think too much about it and sat next to the little princess Yan Qin, enjoying her meal immensely.
