He Yang sniffed hard: "Wow, it smells so good!"
He eagerly tossed aside the garlic cloves and hopped over to Yun Zhizhi like a little rabbit, shamelessly asking, "Boss, I want to help you try the dish, I promise I'll only taste a tiny bit, is that okay?"
"Sure. But you'll have to wait a moment."
As soon as Yun Zhizhi finished speaking, she hurriedly asked Chef Jiang to fry a small portion of the mushrooms again.
After frying, she quickly sprinkled some salt and pepper powder on top.
"Try it!"
He Yang grinned: "Alright!"
After saying that, he quickly picked up a fried mushroom and was about to put it in his mouth when it was suddenly snatched away.
"Mmm~ These fried mushrooms are crispy and fragrant, leaving a lingering aroma in your mouth, they're absolutely amazing."
Master Xuanzhen praised the food repeatedly as he ate it.
Not satisfied with just one, he quickly reached out and grabbed a few more, stuffing them into his mouth.
The mushroom that was about to be eaten flew away, and He Yang glared at him fiercely: "You old monk, you've gone too far."
Seeing that he still wanted to keep rambling on, Master Xuanzhen grabbed a fried mushroom and stuffed it into his mouth.
"How does it taste?"
He Yang chewed a few times and nodded repeatedly: "Boss, you're really amazing."
"I could actually taste the meat flavor in the fried mushrooms. If I hadn't known beforehand, I would have thought I was eating crispy fried pork."
After praising Yun Zhizhi, He Yang finally came to his senses.
Someone just grabbed the fried mushrooms for him with their bare hands.
So, He Yang, who was a germaphobe, turned his head and glanced at Master Xuanzhen: "Are your hands clean?"
Master Xuanzhen smiled mischievously: "Oh dear, I was squatting in the outhouse for a while and I think I forgot to wash my hands."
Seeing his menacing and aggressive manner, she said, "Fatty He, what are you afraid of? Haven't you heard the saying: 'A little dirt won't hurt you.' Just consider my hands as something unclean."
He Yang was speechless after hearing this.
He ignored the old monk and silently began to enjoy his meal.
Yun Zhizhi also tried the food.
It seems that these fried mushrooms taste just as good as fried crispy pork!
"Everyone, come and have a taste!"
As soon as she said that, everyone else in the kitchen stopped what they were doing and came over to the stove.
Especially Zhao Wu.
He came running.
He's been glancing this way for a while now.
At this moment, the atmosphere in Yonghe Hall of the Imperial Palace was solemn and dignified, a stark contrast to the noisy sounds coming from the Yun family's kitchen.
The emperor was sitting upright on the dragon throne, which symbolized supreme power.
He listened intently and attentively to the reports presented one by one by the officials below.
Compared to usual, the emperor looked exceptionally kind and approachable today, with a gentle smile always on his face.
The grand assembly held this time was unprecedented in scale and lasted for a full day.
To avoid back pain caused by prolonged sitting, the emperor made ample preparations.
A soft and comfortable salted fish stick doll was placed securely on his back.
At the same time, he also tightly hugged another equally cute salted fish stick doll, unwilling to let go for even a moment.
Even more unexpectedly, out of everyone's sight—under the wide dragon throne—the emperor's feet were each resting on a doll.
It must be said that when it comes to how to fully enjoy the long court session, no one can compare to the Emperor!
The grand court assembly differed from the regular morning court session, as officials did not have to stand for the entire time to report on government affairs to the emperor.
Sitting in the front row, Qin Zihao turned slightly to the side, lowered his voice to a whisper in the Sixth Prince's ear:
"Yun Jin, I heard that Yi Ze ate something bad last night and has been having stomach problems ever since. He couldn't even attend today's grand court assembly. It seems his illness is quite serious."
After saying that, Qin Zihao frowned, paused briefly, and then continued, "But how come this is such a coincidence? I feel there's something strange about it, something seems off..."
"Furthermore, he is the only one who dares to be absent from such an important court assembly. This has truly made our entire Censorate lose face!"
As he said this, he didn't forget to glance at Qiao Dasinong, who was sitting in the left corner opposite him, his head swollen like a pig's after being stung by a bee.
And then there was Imperial Censor Guo, who sat in the last row and had to be carried to the grand court assembly after breaking his leg.
Even though they're all like this, they don't dare to be absent from work.
It seems that Yi Ze is really bold.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yunjin suddenly recalled Qi Yize's smiling face, which had a hint of cunning, from just two days ago.
"Ignore him for now. You can come with me to report later!"
"Okay." Qin Zihao nodded slightly.
Meanwhile, Qi Yize, whom they were both nagging, was soundly asleep on his bed.
She showed no sign of weakness or exhaustion whatsoever, like someone suffering from an upset stomach.
He had already planned it all out.
After he woke up, he immediately got up and rushed to the Haibei District Wharf to enjoy a delicious boxed lunch, skipping his breakfast altogether.
After being soaked for a period of time, the fern root noodles, sweet potato noodles, and wood ear mushrooms have become soft and elastic.
Those evenly thick and thin rice noodles are crystal clear and as tempting as crystal.
The wood ear mushrooms resemble clusters of black flowers, unfurling out.
The cucumbers had already been smashed into pieces and lay haphazardly on the wooden plate, waiting to be mixed with other ingredients to make a delicious dish.
