Yesterday, they overheard from a student that Yun Zhizhi would be setting up a stall at the Haibei District wharf to sell boxed lunches today.
This news was like a long-awaited rain after a drought, bringing them immense joy.
So much so that the two of them were so excited last night that they tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
Even more shockingly, from last night until this moment, they have barely eaten a single grain of rice, barely managing to fill their stomachs by drinking water.
The reason for doing this is to make enough room in my stomach so I can have a big feast later.
After all, no one can say for sure whether Yun Zhizhi will continue to sell these tempting delicacies next time she sets up a stall.
So this time, we must eat to our hearts' content!
The reason they arrived so early was that they didn't have to teach the students this morning, so they sneaked out.
"Gurgle~ gurgle~"
Big Fool rubbed his stomach and muttered to his younger brother beside him, "Second Fool, I'm starving! What if the food Miss Yun sells later turns out to be like nothing at all? Wouldn't we be asking for trouble?"
He regretted skipping two meals in a row.
I should have brought a few steamed buns with me.
Ersha had been staring at the only main road leading to the dock, and upon hearing Dasha's words, he immediately responded:
“Although I’ve never heard of or tasted this meal, it has the word ‘meal’ in it! I have a feeling this meal will definitely fill us up.”
After saying that, he rolled his eyes at Da Sha: "Brother, did you bring enough money?"
Big Fool stretched out his thick, muscular hand and gently rubbed the heavy money pouch hidden in his sleeve, muttering, "Hehe, I brought a full two taels of silver with me, that should be enough!"
Previously, at the entrance of Lishan Academy, he only spent about one hundred coins to buy a large portion of fragrant and mouthwatering spicy hot pot.
And they ate until their stomachs felt like they were about to burst.
Ersha grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and said with a grin, "Haha, what a coincidence, brother! I also brought two taels of silver, just like you. Looks like we're on the same wavelength!"
At this moment, in addition to Da Sha and Er Sha, many of the regular customers who had previously patronized Yun Zhizhi's stall also began to appear at the dock.
Ever since they had the privilege of tasting the delicious food that Yun Zhizhi made and sold, the unique flavors have been deeply imprinted in their hearts, making them unforgettable.
So when they learned that Yun Zhizhi was going to set up a food stall here today, everyone rushed over eagerly, ready to feast on her food once again.
On the other side.
Fang Zheng and Fang Rangrang, the close-knit grandfather and grandson, were completely unprepared for Yun Zhizhi's thoughtfulness in sending someone to the Fang residence to invite them to the Haibei District Wharf for a free, sumptuous boxed lunch.
Even if she hadn't invited them, the two of them would have gone to the Haibei District pier to show their support.
But Yun Zhizhi's thoughtfulness touched them once again.
Fang Rangrang blinked her bright, lively eyes, gently tugged at Fang Zheng's sleeve with her small hand, and suggested in a sweet, coquettish voice:
“Grandfather, it’s still a while before noon. Why don’t we stop by the Yun residence to help out?”
Fang Zheng smiled and nodded: "Okay."
This little rascal, despite his young age, is quite adept at navigating social situations.
But what help could she possibly offer?
In the end, it will be this old geezer who has to do the work.
The fourth quarter of the hour of Si (9-11 AM).
Yun Zhizhi, her face flushed red from the heat of the stove, was busy frying pumpkin strips.
At another stove nearby, Chef Jiang was also helping to fry pumpkin strips.
After all the pumpkin strips were fried until golden brown and crispy, Yun Zhizhi started pouring the salted egg yolk sauce she had exchanged into the pot, slowly frying it over low heat until it bubbled, and then quickly stir-frying the pumpkin strips in.
Once each piece is evenly coated with mayonnaise, it's ready to be taken out of the pan.
There were only 15 minutes left until noon.
The boxed meals to be sold include the following meat dishes: Salt-baked chicken, Beer duck, Stir-fried pork intestines, Spicy shrimp, Braised beef brisket with potatoes, Stir-fried beef with yellow peppers, Kung Pao chicken, Ants climbing a tree (a Sichuan dish), and Sweet and sour pork.
Vegetarian dishes: Baked pumpkin with salted egg yolk, cucumber salad with wood ear mushrooms and peanuts, hot and sour shredded potatoes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, Mapo tofu without meat, dry-fried green beans, eggplant and green beans.
Staple foods: Rice, cold fern root noodles.
Everything is ready.
Yun Zhizhi's eyes sparkled. While everyone was busy carefully placing the meticulously prepared dishes into the heat-resistant wooden buckets, she gracefully moved to Xiao Tao's side and softly called out, "Xiao Tao~"
Upon hearing the voice, Xiao Tao quickly turned around and, seeing it was her young mistress, immediately replied, "Miss, you were looking for me!"
Yun Zhizhi nodded slightly, her red lips parted slightly: "Have you finished what I asked you to do just now?"
Xiao Tao nodded hurriedly and replied earnestly, "I have prepared three boxed meals as you instructed, and I will arrange for someone to deliver them to the palace later."
"In addition, Brother Ping An has already set off for the Qi residence to deliver boxed lunches to Old Master Qi and Old Madam Qi."
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhizhi's face blossomed into a radiant smile, like spring flowers, and she softly said, "Yes, very well done."
She planned to give Zhao Yunjin a surprise.
Although he was unable to personally attend the Haibei District Wharf to support himself because he had to participate in the solemn and grand court assembly.
But she still thought about him and wanted him to be the first to taste these delicious and mouthwatering dishes.
At the same time, she was also secretly planning to take this opportunity to promote herself.
If those delicious dishes could successfully attract the attention of the officials and draw them to her stall, that would be even better.
If they really come, her little stall will become famous.
Just then, two familiar figures suddenly burst into the otherwise quiet and peaceful kitchen.
A small figure rushed towards Yun Zhizhi like a whirlwind. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the adorable Fang Rangrang.
She hugged Yun Zhizhi's leg tightly, raised her delicate, sculpted face, and revealed a sweet smile, her voice clear and melodious:
"Sister Zhizhi, I'm here to help you! Are you happy to welcome this super cute little fairy?"
Yun Zhizhi looked down at the adorable little girl in front of her, her heart softening, and she smiled as she replied, "Of course you're welcome."
As she spoke, she gently pinched Fang Rangrang's rosy cheeks.
Immediately afterwards, Yun Zhizhi straightened up and said gently to her, "However, I need to change my clothes first. You and Grandfather Fang wait in the front yard for a while. We'll be leaving soon."
Upon hearing this, Fang Zheng, who was standing nearby, nodded quickly and reached out to take his granddaughter's hand and walk out the door.
However, to everyone's surprise, Fang Rangrang blinked her big eyes and said in a childish voice, "Sister, I want to stay in the kitchen with Grandpa and help out."
