Before long, the Eighth Princess couldn't hold back any longer and ran out the door.
Zhao Yunjin's voice was neither loud nor soft: "Royal sister, where are you going?"
The Eighth Princess stopped and turned around, saying, "Sixth Brother, I need to go to the outhouse, I can't hold it in any longer!"
After saying that, without waiting for Zhao Yunjin's response, she continued running towards the door.
However, her destination was the kitchen, not the outhouse!
How could her little tricks escape the Empress Dowager's eyes, which were wise and insightful after experiencing many hardships?
"I drank a lot of tea before leaving the palace, and now I feel a little hungry."
After saying this, the Empress Dowager, with the careful support of her personal nanny, slowly got up and started walking towards the kitchen.
She had clearly learned this trick from her granddaughter.
Seeing this, the others understood and followed suit.
Qi Yize smiled and said to Zhao Yunjin, "I'll show my grandparents around the Imperial Palace."
Meanwhile, the Crown Prince hurriedly said, "Dr. Zhou instructed that the Crown Princess needs to move around more. I will take her out for a walk now."
In no time, various reasons emerged, and everyone tacitly rushed towards the kitchen.
The milky aroma that everyone smelled just now was from Yun Zhizhi making milk sachima.
This milk sachima is mainly made with eggs and milk, without adding a single drop of water. You can imagine how rich the milky aroma is!
At this moment, Yun Zhizhi was instructing the chef on the final step: "Remember, you need to pour the sugar syrup, which has been cooked until it becomes stringy, into the freshly fried noodles in three separate pours, and then stir it well."
Immediately afterwards, she deftly poured the syrup-coated fried noodles into the custom-made mold, pressing them firmly.
Master Xuanzhen, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't wait any longer and hurriedly asked, "Zhizhi, is this milk sachima safe to eat?"
Yun Zhizhi shook her head: "Not yet, we have to wait for it to cool down."
Doctor Zhou popped a wasabi-flavored fish skin peanut into his mouth, glancing at Master Xuanzhen as he chewed, and joked:
"Old monk, what's the rush? You can't rush things. If you're craving something, have some of the snacks Zhizhi gave you yesterday."
Master Xuanzhen rolled his eyes at him and remained silent.
He was eagerly anticipating this unfinished Sachima because he had already eaten all the snacks given to him yesterday.
The snacks Zhizhi made were so delicious that he couldn't bear to eat them slowly.
This time, Yun Zhizhi plans to make two flavors of egg rolls: sesame and scallion.
Just as Yun Zhizhi was concentrating on pouring eggs, milk, sugar, salt, scallions, and butter into a bowl one by one, and gently and methodically mixing the batter with a whisk.
Suddenly, a pleasant, deep voice rang out in the kitchen: "Zhizhi, what delicious snacks are you making all this time?"
Upon hearing the voice, Yun Zhizhi subconsciously raised her eyes to look. After seeing who it was, her delicate body trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of surprise. She was completely stunned.
Why didn't Yun Jin mention to her that the Empress Dowager would be making an appearance today?
Could it be that she also came uninvited?
Thinking of this, Yun Zhizhi composed herself, trying to recover from her shock. She quickly put on a gentle smile and gave the Empress Dowager a graceful bow.
She replied softly, "Your Majesty, your granddaughter-in-law is currently making scallion-flavored egg rolls."
The Empress Dowager smiled and turned to the crowd behind her, drawn by the rich aroma of milk in the air, asking, "Have any of you ever heard of such a snack?"
Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they knew nothing about it.
Standing in the crowd, the Eighth Princess blinked her big, bright eyes and looked at Yun Zhizhi curiously, asking in a clear voice, "Sister-in-law, what kind of flavor does this egg roll have?"
As Yun Zhizhi continued to stir the batter methodically, she smiled and replied, "Eighth Princess, this scallion egg roll is a sweet and savory flavor."
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager's already expectant heart was ignited, instantly filled with fervent anticipation.
Yesterday, she had the privilege of tasting the unique sweet and salty flavor of fish skin peanuts. The wonderful and unforgettable taste still lingers in her mind, making her love it very much.
Now that she has heard what Yun Zhizhi said, the freshly baked scallion egg rolls will also be sweet and savory. How could she not be overjoyed and eagerly anticipate them?
A frying pan is needed to make egg rolls.
Two days ago, Yun Zhizhi sent someone to find a blacksmith shop to work overnight to make two frying pans.
Fifteen minutes later, both frying pans were operating simultaneously.
Yun Zhizhi stood beside one of the stoves, concentrating on spreading the batter evenly while patiently instructing Chef Li, who was making egg rolls alongside her.
She was surrounded by a group of foodies who came to watch the spectacle.
Qi Yize watched as she deftly used a long, thin wooden chopstick to quickly roll up the pancake that had been fried until golden brown on both sides.
I instantly understood why this snack is called an egg roll.
At this moment, the air was filled with an extremely rich and domineering milky aroma, along with a faint scallion scent.
This caused everyone to swallow hard.
He Donghai, already dazed by the aroma, interjected, "Zhizhi, is this egg roll ready to eat?"
Yun Zhizhi continued spreading the batter, "It's not ready yet, it needs to cool down. Otherwise it won't be crispy."
This time it was Master Xuanzhen's turn to tease others, "Old man He, you can't rush things. If you're feeling peckish, you can have some of the snacks Zhizhi gave you yesterday to satisfy your craving."
Oops! I misspoke.
I forgot that Old Man He wasn't here yesterday.
At this moment, He Donghai obediently took out a small packet of hand-shredded beef jerky from his sleeve, opened it, tore off a small strip, put it in his mouth, and began to chew it.
Master Xuanzhen asked in surprise, "Where did you get this hand-shredded beef jerky?"
He couldn't believe that Fatty He, who was usually very possessive of his food, would be so generous as to share it with his grandfather.
Oh no!
It was accidentally exposed.
He Donghai chuckled, "Never mind that!"
Immediately afterwards, he leaned close to Master Xuanzhen's ear and whispered, "Don't tell Yang'er about this either."
Master Xuanzhen understood immediately!
It seems that Old Man He obtained these snacks from his grandson through improper means.
"This old monk understands."
After standing by the hot stove for a long time, Yun Zhizhi's rosy face began to sweat.
Suddenly, a slender, jade-like hand with distinct joints reached out, holding a handkerchief.
He gently wiped her down.
Yun Zhizhi knew who it was without even looking!
She glanced at Zhao Yunjin and smiled sweetly: "Thank you!"
People outside say he's cold and aloof, but he also has a warm heart and a thoughtful side.
After a long 35 minutes.
Everyone finally waited for the milk sachima and egg rolls to cool down.
Big hands and little hands reached into the plate to grab the snacks they wanted.
