After hearing Wanwan's words, Kangxi went out to wait for her, as he knew that continuing to spend time with her would only make him look foolish.
Before leaving, he pinched Wanwan's cheek.
Kangxi: Not bad, it's really easy to pinch (?′ω`?)
Wanwan was speechless. What did you mean by pinching my face twice in one day? You pinched it once in the morning, and now you're pinching it again. Are you going to pinch it again tonight?
I didn't pay much attention to it, and quickly finished my shift and left.
Emperor Kangxi was sitting at the table, waiting for Wanwan.
After Wanwan left, she sat down on a chair without bowing to Kangxi.
"Why don't I let Your Majesty try this meal as well?" she said, using serving chopsticks to pick up a sweet and sour pork rib and put it on her own plate, then ate it with her chopsticks.
Wanwan thought to herself, "Sigh, the food I cook is still the best. I don't know how the food in the palace is. Anyway, the meal I had this morning looked delicious, but it was just so-so."
Not to mention that Wanwan is a good cook herself, she even asked the system for some flavor-enhancing seasonings while cooking.
The taste is naturally even better.
Wanwan boasted, "Your Majesty, what I made is indeed delicious. Please try it and see if it's good." As she spoke, she picked up the serving chopsticks and put a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs on Kangxi's plate, and then added a spicy thousand-layer shredded dish for herself.
Then, her big, watery eyes stared at Kangxi, as if to say, "You can only say it's delicious, not bad." This made Kangxi laugh. He picked up his chopsticks and put the sweet and sour pork ribs into his mouth. To his surprise, it was really good.
"My beloved concubine's idea is indeed excellent; I'm afraid even my imperial chefs can't compare."
Emperor Kangxi was truly surprised that his beloved concubine could cook so well, unlike anything he had ever eaten before, and the dishes on the table were also different from those he had seen before.
In the past, the diet was mainly meat-based with very few vegetables, but today there are just as many vegetarian and meat dishes on the table.
"Does my beloved concubine like vegetarian food?"
Wanwan naturally understood what Kangxi meant. She could talk to Kangxi about a balanced diet, but she couldn't give him vitamin supplements, since Kangxi didn't know about that.
To avoid trouble, she could only tell Kangxi, "Your Majesty, I do prefer vegetarian dishes. At home, I usually eat half vegetarian and half meat dishes. Today, I've prepared more vegetarian dishes, but there are still quite a few meat dishes. May I ask the cook to prepare a few more?"
"Does Your Majesty like vegetarian dishes? My cooking is very delicious." She said, using the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of vegetarian dish with pine nuts and corn and put it in her own bowl. After eating, she used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece for Emperor Kangxi.
"Your Majesty, try it and you'll see it's really delicious."
After taking a bite, Emperor Kangxi truly believed it.
Author: To reiterate, because the Qing Dynasty maintained the habits of nomadic peoples, they ate two meals a day, breakfast and lunch, and most of them were meat-based.
"My beloved concubine's cooking skills are indeed excellent, but I am very curious, as a proposed princess, why would you think of cooking?"
The Manchu women's aunts held a very high status, which is why Emperor Kangxi was somewhat puzzled.
After swallowing the food in her mouth, Wanwan said, "My mother is a Han Chinese, so she always knows a little bit about cooking. And I love to eat, so the cooks at home never satisfy me. Therefore, my mother specially found a few cooks from outside to cook. They are very delicious, and I like them very much. So I learned some of their cooking skills."
Wanwan would never tell Kangxi that she was a foodie in this life because she didn't eat properly during the apocalypse in her previous life.
