Upon hearing this, Ersha looked up, a few grains of rice still clinging to the corner of his mouth, and hurriedly nodded in response:
"Brother, if you don't believe me, just try it yourself and you'll see! This beef brisket sauce mixed with rice is absolutely amazing, it's incredibly delicious with rice!"
If there were no other meat dishes today, and only this beef brisket sauce left, he would bet that he could easily finish several large bowls of rice just by mixing this beef brisket sauce with rice.
He had barely finished speaking when he eagerly asked, "How does this stir-fried beef with yellow peppers taste?"
At that moment, Da Sha thought of a new way to eat it. He happily scooped up a full spoonful of stir-fried beef and poured it over white rice, then skillfully stirred it.
As he tasted it, he replied with a broad smile, "You must try this dish later."
"This beef is not only fragrant and spicy, but also very tender and juicy. Look at this meat, it's so tender and smooth, not tough or dry at all."
After a brief pause, Da Sha continued, "Another very important point is that this dish is so good with rice! Every bite of beef paired with rice is simply divine."
Hearing this, Ersha couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "I really don't know how Miss Yun and the others were able to bring out the best in different parts of the cow."
"And look at the cooks in our academy, why can't they make such delicious food?"
Da Sha nodded in agreement and chimed in, "That's right. The beef that the cooks at the academy make is either overcooked, making it tough and chewy, or undercooked, resulting in dry meat with no flavor whatsoever."
"Sigh, there's no harm in comparison!"
In order to taste the delicious food made by Yun Zhizhi, they did not hesitate to go hungry and risk being discovered by sneaking out of the academy. Now it seems that it was all worth it.
On the other side.
Sunlight streamed through the clouds, illuminating the layers of palaces and pavilions within the imperial palace complex.
Zhao Yunjin and Qin Zihao walked side by side through the winding corridors. As they stepped into the Yangxin Hall, they happened to meet Crown Prince Zhao Yunting, who had just finished talking with his colleagues and was coming out of a side hall.
Zhao Yunting stood tall and straight like a pine tree, his sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes exuding an innate air of nobility.
He raised an eyebrow, a gentle smile playing on his lips, and said to Zhao Yunjin, "Sixth brother, to my shame, we two brothers haven't had lunch together together recently."
"Since we have such a rare opportunity today, why don't we enjoy this delicious meal together?"
Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Yunting's gaze fell on Qin Zihao, who was standing to the side, and he asked, "Zihao, what do you think? Would you mind if your older brother interfered?"
Qin Zihao inwardly groaned, but still maintained a respectful smile on his face, and quickly replied, "Your Highness, how could I possibly mind? It is truly an honor for me to have the pleasure of dining with Your Highness and the Sixth Prince."
"Moreover, it has indeed been a long time since I have shared lunch with His Highness the Crown Prince."
Actually, he does mind.
Qi Yize was absent, so the boxed lunch that was originally meant for three people became a meal for two. He had hoped to take the opportunity to enjoy a hearty meal.
Who would have thought that a Cheng Yaojin would suddenly appear out of nowhere—Crown Prince Zhao Yunting.
And so, the three of them walked together toward the dining area prepared especially for Zhao Yunjin.
Even before you get close, you can smell the strong and rich aroma wafting out.
Upon closer inspection, it becomes even more mouthwatering.
A table laden with sumptuous dishes was laid out, each one a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate.
Not only were the three of them attracted by the delicious food in front of them, but the officials who had arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation a short time earlier had also followed the enticing aroma.
When they saw the dozen or so dishes they had never seen before, they couldn't help but swallow hard.
In an instant, the officials gathered around, their exclamations of praise rising and falling.
I'm really looking forward to ordering the same dish.
The result, however, greatly disappointed them.
It turns out that these novel dishes were not made by the imperial chefs.
If you want to enjoy these delicacies, you'll have to find your own way.
The Crown Prince exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that the Imperial Kitchen has recently introduced new dishes? This smells even better than the delicacies we've had before!"
Qin Zihao chuckled: "Your Highness, these dishes are a loving meal prepared by the future Sixth Princess Consort for our Sixth Prince."
Seeing him joking about his own sixth brother, Zhao Yunting not only wasn't angry, but even joined in the banter:
"It seems I'm having a pretty good day. We're lucky to have the chance to taste your sister-in-law's cooking later, thanks to Yun Jin."
He had long heard that Yun Zhizhi was an excellent cook and that every dish she sold before was very popular.
It's a pity he's only ever tasted her ice cream; he hasn't had a chance to try her spicy hot pot and stinky tofu yet.
It is said that her way of setting up a stall is unique and distinctive.
Ordinary people would choose a busy and bustling location to set up a stall, but she did the opposite, specifically looking for odd and desolate places.
What's even more amazing is that the items she sells are different every time she sets up her stall.
Not only that, but the length of time she sets up her stall is also completely unpredictable, making it difficult to keep track of her movements.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yunjin's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.
He gracefully sat down slowly, while also inviting the two people beside him to sit down and eat: "You two should sit down and eat quickly! If the food gets cold, the taste and texture will definitely be greatly diminished."
After the three of them took their seats, they suddenly felt many gazes shooting straight at them like sharp arrows.
Upon seeing this, Qin Zihao frowned and muttered, "This is really strange!"
"Normally, those officials would avoid us as much as possible when they see us, not even daring to glance at us. Why are they all staring at us like hungry wolves today?"
The main reason is that Zhao Yunjin's unique, icy demeanor is truly terrifying.
This made them hesitant to get even a fraction closer.
Crown Prince Zhao Yunting seemed to have sensed something amiss and replied, "They may not be paying attention to the three of us; what's really attracting their attention is probably this sumptuous meal in front of them."
Qin Zihao was skeptical after hearing this, so he turned his head and glanced at the table next to him.
I didn't know until I saw it, and I almost burst out laughing.
The scholar Zhang from the Hanlin Academy, who always considered himself refined, stared blankly at the food on the table.
My mouth was practically watering.
