You should know that she hates cilantro the most. She once swore that when she became rich, she would pull out all the cilantro in the world, leaving none behind. How could there be such a disgusting thing as cilantro in the world?
But there was cilantro in the pastry, and the problem was she hadn't noticed it yet.
Consort Hui smiled and nodded; she knew Consort Hui would have that expression.
Mingxiu was so surprised that she couldn't come to her senses for a long time. After a while, she swallowed and looked at Huipin, "Sister, why did you think of using coriander to make this pastry? But it tastes really delicious."
"It's a long story, but I was able to make this thanks to my younger sister's reminder."
"Huh, should I remind you?" Mingxiu tilted her head. How could she possibly remind someone that they were using cilantro in their pastries?
She hates cilantro the most.
Consort Hui looked at Mingxiu's adorable appearance and said while shuffling mahjong tiles, "My sister ate the mung bean cake here before and thought it was delicious, so she went back and asked someone to try it. But that person didn't know the difference between mint and cilantro. She was going to pick mint, but she accidentally picked cilantro instead. She didn't realize it until the cilantro juice was already added. She was going to throw it away, but since it was already made, she decided to try it. She thought it was pretty good, so she brought it to me. I thought it was quite good too, so I brought it to you."
"Oh, I see. Haha, well, that does have something to do with me, but it was all a coincidence." Mingxiu laughed awkwardly.
Cilantro it is, as long as it tastes good. Anyway, she can't taste the cilantro in it.
However, she could taste cola even though there was cilantro in the pastry. Does that prove that there is cilantro in cola?
Mingxiu frowned as soon as she thought about it. Good heavens, she hadn't expected that Mingxiu had already eaten so much cilantro.
Thinking about it this way, it turns out she didn't dislike cilantro, she just didn't like the taste of it.
It seems there's still a reason to keep the cilantro, so let's leave it.
Hehehe.
"It's good that the people in my sister's palace continued making them. If they hadn't, we wouldn't have had the chance to taste such delicious pastries. Seven of a kind!" Mingxiu said jokingly as she played a seven of a kind.
"Yes, I didn't expect that either. But there have been quite a few cases like this throughout history. I only heard about it from a little eunuch in our palace. He ate stinky tofu before he entered the palace. It is said that the stinky tofu was made because the tofu was spoiled. The family couldn't bear to throw it away, so they fried it and made it. Unexpectedly, it tasted delicious. So they sold it and made a lot of money."
Mingxiu nodded. She had heard of it before, but she didn't know that stinky tofu existed now.
Mingxiu swallowed hard at the thought of it; it also wanted to eat stinky tofu and snail rice noodles.
"Yeah, yeah, it's really amazing! And that shrimp, at first everyone thought it was some kind of monster! But it turned out to be so delicious after someone cooked it." Mingxiu smacked her lips as she thought of the crayfish.
Consort Hui nodded. "Yes, I don't know what things are inedible. It seems like I can eat a lot of things." As she spoke, she saw the iron-eating beast on the handkerchief that Myung-soo had placed next to her and joked, "Maybe this iron-eating beast is edible too."
Mingxiu was suddenly startled, her hand paused, and the mahjong tiles in her hand fell onto the table.
A beast that eats iron?
Mingxiu imagined the scene in her mind, snapping photos of the panda.
Huh!
The thought of that scene was bizarre, and Mingxiu dared not eat it.
"Let's forget about it. I don't think iron-eating beasts taste good."
Consort Hui's maid, Liu Ying, asked curiously, "Has Consort Ming eaten this?"
Mingxiu shook her head, forcing a calm expression, and said, "It definitely doesn't taste good. If it did, there would be a lot of people eating it. Since no one is eating it now, it must not taste good."
Pandas, oh, they're national treasures!
It's illegal for anyone to want to eat it.
She didn't want to go to jail.
Besides, pandas have managed to make themselves an endangered species. If they were delicious, everyone would know that pandas even exist, and they would have been eaten long ago.
Consort Hui played a card beside her and chimed in, "That makes perfect sense."
Mingxiu nodded, not daring to bring up the topic again. Just thinking about people wanting to eat pandas made her head spin; the topic was too terrifying.
Besides, pandas are so cute, how can you eat them!
The chips that Mingxiu and her friends used to play cards were bamboo tokens specially made by Mingxiu. They came in three colors, and each color had a slightly different price.
After playing several rounds, two-thirds of the table in front of Mingxiu was empty.
The ones in front of the flowing table were the most numerous.
Consort Hui glanced at Mingxiu and said, "Little sister, you'd better work hard. You invited us over to play mahjong, but look what happened, you've become a god of wealth delivered to our door."
Mingxiu pouted, "I didn't try hard enough. If I had, I could have won much faster. Besides, winning first isn't true victory; winning to the very end is true victory."
Well, after she said that, the other three laughed. Consort Hui laughed until her stomach hurt. "Alright, alright, let's see how much our sister can win at the end."
Mingxiu gave a haughty snort.
As it turns out, some people are just unlucky no matter how stubborn they are.
Mingxiu frowned, looking at the chips in front of her on the table; they were all gone.
She pouted and said, "Oh well, I'm just having bad luck today. I'll just take it as the God of Wealth taking pity on me. I'll win it back in a couple of days."
