Because Zhao Wu had already informed the Sixth Prince's residence in advance, even though Zhao Yunjin had gone to the morning court, the head steward did not neglect Yun Zhizhi at all after learning of her arrival.
Instead, he respectfully led her to the kitchen.
"Your Highness, I have arranged for some servants and cooks to be at your disposal at any time."
Yun Zhizhi nodded in response, "Okay."
Today, Yun Zhizhi plans to make some hand-shredded beef jerky, pork jerky, fish skin peanuts, and potato chips.
The fat pig that was delivered has already been slaughtered and processed by several chefs.
The pork leg meat, tenderloin meat, and pork shoulder meat needed to make pork jerky have already been cut up and set aside by the chefs under Yun Zhizhi's arrangement.
Immediately afterwards, Yun Zhizhi instructed the row of servants in front of her: "Now cut these pork pieces into small pieces, and then mince them into mince."
After giving the instructions, she then instructed another row of maids: "Now peel these six large baskets of potatoes and wash them clean."
After the servants responded, they quickly got to work.
Next, Yun Zhizhi found several chefs or kitchen helpers with good knife skills: "You guys will cut the potatoes that have already been peeled into thin slices of uniform size."
At this moment, Master Xuanzhen, who was standing to the side, frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Zhizhi, what are you going to do with so many potatoes? Are you going to use them to make the dry-fried potato slices you made before?"
Yun Zhizhi grinned: "Potato chips."
What are potato chips?
"You'll see in a moment, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Master Xuanzhen replied with a smile, "I am very satisfied now."
At least he knew that the snacks Zhizhi was making today weren't all meat-related.
Taking advantage of the break, Yun Zhizhi immediately put the beef, which she had just had cut into thick strips along the grain of the beef tenderloin, into the pot to blanch.
After blanching the vegetables, she quickly put the prepared ginger slices, scallion segments, Sichuan peppercorns, cinnamon, star anise, bay leaves, soy sauce, salt, wine, and a little sugar into the pot, and then added water to make the braising liquid.
Once the braising liquid is boiling, add the beef strips and simmer over low heat.
At this moment, Doctor Zhou was listlessly helping to peel potatoes.
Last night, in order to get information out of that Ghost Foot Seven, I drank with him until late at night before leaving the Misty Rain Pavilion.
In the end, we couldn't get any information from them.
Ghost Foot Seven insisted that he did not know any Ghost Foot Eight.
After leisurely peeling a potato, he glanced around and, noticing that He Yang was nowhere to be seen, quickly turned to Yun Zhizhi and asked, "Zhizhi, where did that fat guy He go to slack off? I haven't seen him anywhere."
Yun Zhizhi is making fish skin peanuts.
She took a moment to reply: "He's probably buying wild berries."
At this moment, He Yang, whom the two were talking about, did not go to buy wild fruits.
Instead, he was secretly picking pears in a villa somewhere in his own mansion.
"Hurry up and finish picking from this pear tree before you go pick from that apricot tree, understand?"
The servant boy, who had climbed up the tree, replied as he picked the fruit, "Yes, sir."
"Also, whatever you do, don't tell Grandfather and the others about this, or I'll teach you a lesson!"
After saying that, He Yang sneakily hid to the side and helped pick pears.
This morning, the eldest brother assigned him the task of buying wild fruits.
He also told himself that he would do whatever was cheapest.
Then he thought of the fruit trees in his own mansion.
It's free, so why not pick it?
He has already made up his mind.
After we finish picking the fruit from our own mansion, we'll go to the Lei mansion and pluck all the fruit from the trees in my maternal grandfather's mansion as well.
We'll see how much fruit there is then, and then hire a few beggars to go into the mountains and pick some more.
He was so meticulous in his calculations, doing exactly what the boss said—to get the cheapest deal possible—she would definitely praise him.
As for the incident of stealing flowers and becoming a flower thief, He Yang had long forgotten about it.
Yun Zhizhi plans to make two flavors of fish skin peanuts.
One flavor is original, and the other is wasabi.
She plans to make less of the wasabi flavor, since this flavor of fish skin peanuts is spicy and pungent, which some people find difficult to accept.
After roasting and peeling the peanuts, Yun Zhizhi began to pour them into the hot pot that had been boiled into syrup.
Quickly coat them evenly with a layer of icing.
After they cooled, she quickly poured the egg mixture into the peanuts.
Add thirteen-spice powder, salt, mustard, and sprinkle with some sweet potato starch and flour.
Stir quickly until well combined.
Then, repeat the action of sprinkling flour several times until each peanut is covered with a layer of flour.
The rich aroma emanating from the deep-fried fish skin and peanuts quickly filled every corner of the kitchen.
Upon smelling it, Master Xuanzhen and Doctor Zhou immediately dropped what they were doing and rushed over to see what was happening.
I'm getting ready to be the first taste tester.
Just then, a soft and pleasant voice rang out.
"It smells so good!"
Yun Zhizhi glanced at the entrance of the kitchen and muttered, "Who is this delicate little girl?"
The little girl acted as if she knew everyone, and smiled sweetly at Yun Zhizhi: "Sixth Sister-in-law, I am the Eighth Princess."
Then, she said to the little boy behind her, "Tenth Prince, why are you running so slowly? Let's go and see your sister-in-law."
After saying that, she immediately took the tenth prince's hand, and the two of them quickly walked over with small, quick steps.
Master Xuanzhen recognized the two little devils. "How did you two know that Zhizhi was going to make snacks today?"
The Eighth Princess smiled sweetly at him: "I missed you so much, so I brought my tenth brother to the palace to visit you. I never expected such a coincidence, that I just happened to run into my sister-in-law making snacks."
After saying that, she glanced at the Tenth Prince again: "We're so lucky! Tenth Brother, am I right?"
The tenth prince smiled shyly: "Yes!"
The Eighth Princess is absolutely amazing.
If he hadn't known the truth, he would have been completely fooled by her.
They didn't come here specifically to visit Master Xuanzhen.
This morning, they learned from the guards that Yun Zhizhi had gone to the Sixth Prince's Mansion early in the morning.
So, taking advantage of the time when the Sixth Prince was away at the morning court, they decided to come here to see Yun Zhizhi.
Ask her to make some more delicious food for them.
As it turned out, I just happened to bump into her making snacks.
