The silly boy beside him squinted, carefully trying to discern the direction from which the fragrance was coming.
After a moment, he walked several dozen steps forward, then hurriedly turned back and said to Da Sha:
"Brother, I just followed the direction of the aroma and found that it seems to be coming from the Yun family's kitchen."
"In my opinion, it's highly likely that Yun Zhizhi is developing some new and unusual dishes." After saying that, Ersha couldn't help but lick his lips.
Upon hearing this, Da Sha swallowed hard and said with a worried look, "Oh dear, what should I do! This aroma has completely whetted my appetite."
Ersha sighed, "How about we go to Fuju Restaurant and have some fun, maybe have a hot pot meal?"
"Waiting here isn't going to solve anything. Let's come back here after the evening meal and ask the old man guarding the gate if we can find out from him about Yun Zhizhi's next stall."
These past two days, unable to eat Yun Zhizhi's cooking, he and his elder brother had been thinking about it day and night, and finally couldn't resist coming to the Yun residence to wait for Yun Zhizhi again.
As a result, not only did they not see Yun Zhizhi, but they were also made even more craving by the aroma.
Big Fool nodded: "You're right. Let's go!"
After saying that, the two turned around and walked towards the Fujiu Restaurant.
On the other side.
When the guard Zhao Er saw Zhao Wu suddenly appear in the Censorate, he had some guesses in his mind.
He leaned close to Zhao Wu's ear and grinned, "Did Miss Yun send you to deliver lunch again?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wu spread his hands and said, "Are you blind? Can't you see my hands are empty?"
After being rebuked, Zhao Er glared at him fiercely: "Then what are you doing here?"
Zhao Wu smiled smugly: "It's none of your business."
After saying that, he walked inside with light steps.
Zhao Er watched his retreating figure and cursed inwardly, "Don't be so smug. You'll be in for a world of hurt once Miss Yun marries into the royal family!"
At this moment, Zhao Yunjin was sitting around a table with Qi Yize and Qin Zihao. They were serious and focused on discussing a case involving embezzlement and bribery.
The table was piled high with thick files and related documents. The three of them would sometimes whisper among themselves, and sometimes fall into deep thought.
Just then, Zhao Wu walked in with light steps.
He bowed to Zhao Yunjin and then respectfully reported, "Reporting to the Sixth Prince, His Majesty requests that you come to the Yun residence for lunch later."
Upon hearing this news, Qi Yize and Qin Zihao, who were sitting to the side, instantly brightened up, their eyes that had been focused on discussing the case.
The two of them turned to look at Zhao Yunjin almost simultaneously, their eyes filled with anticipation.
Qin Zihao spoke first: "Can I come with you?"
Immediately afterward, Qi Yize hurriedly chimed in, "Please take me with you! I promise I don't eat much!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yunjin temporarily put down the file in her hand, looked up at Zhao Wu, and asked, "Has Zhizhi come up with some new dishes again?"
Zhao Wu nodded quickly and replied, "Yes, Master is preparing several fish dishes today."
When fish is mentioned, Zhao Yunjin can't help but think of the fish dishes she had eaten before. Not only were there many fish bones, making them quite troublesome to eat, but they also had a strong fishy smell.
As he thought about it, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
However, despite some hesitation, he readily agreed: "Alright, go back and tell her that I will arrive promptly at noon."
Qi Yize is usually very picky about food, and he especially dislikes eating fish.
He had thought that he would be able to enjoy the delicious food made by Yun Zhizhi again today with Zhao Yunjin.
But to my surprise, she was making dishes related to fish.
He wilted instantly, like a frostbitten eggplant, and muttered with a smirk, "Yun Jin, to be honest, I have a huge appetite, so I won't join you guys in fighting for food."
Hearing this, Qin Zihao couldn't help but chuckle, teasingly saying, "Don't think we don't know, you're terrified of eating fish!"
As he spoke, he turned to Zhao Yunjin and said, "If he doesn't want to go, then so be it. I'll go with you."
Although he himself didn't particularly like the fishy smell, he was still willing to try it just because he thought that Miss Yun had personally cooked this lunch.
Moreover, he didn't believe that Miss Yun only cooked fish dishes; he was sure she would also prepare some delicious vegetarian dishes.
After all, the Yun family mansion was also home to the vegetarian Master Xuanzhen.
Thinking of this, Qin Zihao couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.
He had a feeling that Qi Yize would definitely regret not going to the Yun residence for a free meal this time.
After finishing all the vegetarian dishes, including the tofu soup, Yun Zhizhi took a deep breath and began to prepare the last mouthwatering dish: the sizzling salmon head casserole.
The salmon head, which had already been prepared, was cut into appropriately sized pieces and set aside quietly for later use.
Yun Zhizhi skillfully added salt, soy sauce, oyster sauce, seafood sauce, and appropriate amounts of wine and starch, carefully marinating the mixture.
Ensure that every piece of fish head fully absorbs the essence of the seasoning.
With everything ready, Yun Zhizhi deftly poured oil into the earthenware pot.
As the oil temperature gradually rises, tiny ripples begin to appear in the pan, accompanied by a soft sizzling sound.
Just then, she didn't hesitate to put the sliced ginger and garlic into the pot.
In an instant, a rich fragrance wafted over, as if a feast for the senses had begun.
As the ginger slices and garlic cloves released their enticing aroma, Yun Zhizhi quickly and gently placed the marinated salmon head on top of the garlic cloves.
