His shout instantly drew everyone's attention, and they all stopped what they were doing and looked at He Yang with curiosity.
Upon closer inspection, everyone saw that He Yang was dressed in a bright and dazzling red dress, the color of which was as intense as a burning flame.
What's even more eye-catching is that he had a large bunch of plump, white garlic cloves hanging around his neck.
A lucky charm hung from the pouch at his waist, swaying gently as he walked.
Faced with everyone's curious gazes and Zhao Wu's teasing, He Yang scratched his head, revealed a simple and honest smile, and explained, "You don't understand! I'm not just messing around, but taking precautions in case of emergency."
The eldest brother hadn't told him where the stall would be set up yet, but to be on the safe side, he started preparing according to the same routine he had used when setting up a stall in front of Xu's Wine Shop.
Yun Zhizhi glanced at him while peeling garlic and called out, "Lazy Yangyang, come here right now!"
He Yang ran up to her excitedly: "Boss, I'm here. What do you need?"
Yun Zhizhi pinched the string of garlic hanging around his neck and laughed, "These garlic cloves are quite plump. Take them off quickly, peel them, and we'll use them to cook later."
The dish I'm making this time will require quite a bit of garlic.
"Boss, this is my lucky charm!"
He Yang clutched the string of garlic tightly, his face full of reluctance, as if it were some rare treasure.
Seeing this, Yun Zhizhi couldn't help but chuckle softly: "Don't worry, the place we're going to set up our stall this time isn't weird at all."
Her tone was relaxed and confident, as if she were very familiar with the place.
Upon hearing this, He Yang, who had been somewhat worried, suddenly brightened up and without hesitation reached out and tore a clove of garlic off his neck.
As he peeled the garlic, he asked eagerly, "Are there many people at that stall?"
"Hmm... there are quite a few people."
Two hundred construction workers—not too many, not too few.
At this moment, Xiao Tao, who was picking beans not far away, looked up at He Yang curiously and asked, "Young Master He, you didn't come to the Yun residence yesterday, did you not go out shopping either?"
He Yang shook his head and explained, "I was busy all day yesterday supervising the carpenters making wooden plates for serving meals. I didn't have time to go out and stroll around."
"What's wrong? Did something interesting happen yesterday?"
Seeing He Yang's clueless expression, Xiao Tao had no choice but to patiently explain: "Yesterday, Miss wrote some flyers and had Master Xuanzhen and Doctor Zhou dress up as mascots and hand them out on the street."
I reckon some locals already know we're going to set up stalls at the Haibei District wharf.
Having run a stall for so long, this was the first time He Yang had known about the location so early.
But he can't be happy right now.
He quickly pressed further, "Are you sure you're going to set up a stall at the Haibei District wharf, and not the Haixi District wharf?"
"Yes, yes. It's that dock that's still under construction."
He Yang's heart, which had just been at ease, was now filled with anxiety again.
Alright!
The next round of challenges is about to begin.
Fortunately, this time there was delicious food to soothe his fragile heart.
After He Yang took over the task of peeling garlic, Yun Zhizhi began to prepare some dishes that required a considerable amount of time to complete.
She has already had the ribs blanched to remove the fishy smell.
The fresh mushrooms were torn into strips, blanched, rinsed in cold water, and squeezed dry.
First, make braised pork ribs.
Yun Zhizhi said to Xiao Tao, who was helping to start the fire, "Start with a small fire."
"Understood."
Smoke began to rise from the pot. Yun Zhizhi quickly poured in oil, added sugar cubes, and prepared to caramelize the sugar.
This step is crucial; if the heat is too high or the sugar is caramelized for too long, the ribs will turn bitter.
As she caramelized the sugar, she kept a close eye on it, and when it started to bubble and turn light brown, she quickly poured in the pork ribs.
After stir-frying the ribs evenly to coat each piece with the caramelized sugar, she added ginger slices, scallion segments, soy sauce, rice wine, and oyster sauce.
While she was stir-frying, she turned to Aunt He who was not far away and called out, "Aunt He, quickly bring some hot water and pour it into the pot. Make sure it covers the ribs."
"Okay, Miss."
Next, Yun Zhizhi added a little star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon, salt, and dark soy sauce for coloring to the pot.
She increasingly felt that the seasoning freedom she had won was an extremely useful prize.
Simmer over low heat for half an hour, and the braised pork ribs are ready.
The indentures of the six cooks who came to help were all kept safe by Zhao Yunjin.
For this reason, Yun Zhizhi was not worried at all that these people would inadvertently reveal the secret recipe or the production process to others.
So, after careful consideration, she decided to teach them how to cook some of the dishes.
In this way, she no longer needs to personally prepare every dish, saving her a lot of time and energy.
Otherwise, she certainly couldn't make enough boxed meals for hundreds of people by herself.
And it will exhaust her.
Start frying the mushrooms.
Yun Zhizhi smiled, gently waved to a chef standing not far away, and said softly:
"Chef Jiang, come over here quickly, I'll teach you how to make this fried mushroom dish later."
Upon hearing this, Chef Jiang was slightly taken aback, but he quickly recovered and walked to Yun Zhizhi's side with somewhat hurried steps.
He never expected that this future sixth princess, who was skilled in cooking, would be so generous as to teach him how to cook.
