The moment the Empress Dowager tasted the milk-flavored Sachima, she was instantly captivated by its fluffy, soft texture and rich, milky flavor.
This Sachima, which can be eaten as a snack or a pastry, is even more to her liking than the pastries that the royal chef usually makes.
Even after recovering, Madam Qi also enjoys this soft, fluffy, and moderately sweet Sachima.
She couldn't help but praise Yun Zhizhi, "Zhizhi, your skills are amazing! Once this Sachima is sold, it will definitely be loved by women and children alike."
Master Xuanzhen, who was standing to the side, was also eating with great relish. "This milk sachima is extremely friendly to us old folks. It's so easy to eat."
"Moreover, its sweet but not cloying taste is much better than those overly sweet and greasy pastries outside."
Dr. Zhou praised the scallion-flavored egg roll, saying, "This egg roll is easy to eat. And its texture is completely different from the soft and fluffy sachima; it's so crispy it crumbles."
He's right.
At this moment, the people who were enjoying the egg rolls were carefully catching the crumbs with their hands.
Zhao Yunjin was also amazed by the crispy texture of the bite she had just taken.
Sitting next to him, Yun Zhizhi elegantly placed a handkerchief under her chin and carefully savored the egg roll.
As she ate, she glanced at Zhao Yunjin sideways, her words slightly muffled: "Do you prefer scallion flavor or sesame flavor?"
Zhao Yunjin savored the taste for a moment and replied softly, "I like them both. However, I might prefer the sweet and savory scallion egg roll a little more."
"It bursts open the moment it touches your mouth, like a feast for the taste buds. The rich aroma of scallions and eggs intertwine and blend, quickly filling your entire mouth – it's simply wonderful!"
He then added, "Although these egg rolls are delicious, eating too many can make your mouth feel a bit dry."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Yunjin reached out and picked up a cup of tea, first handing it to Yun Zhizhi beside her.
Then he picked up another teacup and took a small sip of tea.
The clear tea slid down my throat, instantly relieving some of the dryness in my mouth.
Yun Zhizhi naturally accepted the teacup from Zhao Yunjin and drank it all in one gulp.
After finishing her drink, she put down the cup and nodded in satisfaction: "Hmm, what you said does make sense."
At this moment, Fang Rangrang was enjoying his meal immensely.
Her little mouth was stuffed full, and when it bulged out, she looked just like a cute little squirrel.
She held the egg roll tightly in both hands and shoved it into her mouth in big bites, muttering as she ate, "Wow! This sesame egg roll is sooooo delicious! I'm not worried about getting thirsty; if I get thirsty, I'll just drink more water."
Fang Rangrang was willing to keep eating and drinking for this egg roll.
After all, she doesn't usually drink much water; she only remembers to take a sip when she's thirsty.
He Donghai wolfed down a large piece of sachima in just a few bites, at a speed that left everyone speechless.
Before anyone could react, he tasted both flavors of egg rolls on the table.
He ate with great relish, making satisfied chewing sounds from time to time.
After finishing his meal, he licked his lips with a lingering sense of satisfaction, then stood up and walked over to Yun Zhizhi.
At this moment, He Donghai completely disregarded his image and smiled obsequiously at Yun Zhizhi, saying, "Zhizhi, this old man also wants to eat and take some!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Yun Zhizhi with expectant eyes, looking just like a child begging for candy.
Those around He Donghai were all surprised when they heard his words.
Their reaction was exactly the same as yesterday; almost everyone turned around at the same time, their eyes all falling on Yun Zhizhi, waiting for her answer.
Upon seeing this, Yun Zhizhi was slightly taken aback at first, then her lips curled up into a bright smile, and she readily agreed, "Approved!"
He Donghai immediately beamed with joy, his eyes narrowing into slits as he laughed, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to smooth out.
That's good. Today I don't have to intercept my grandson's snacks halfway through the road like I did yesterday.
Thinking of this, He Donghai couldn't help but hum a little tune.
At this moment, not far from everyone, several kitchen helpers were busy following Yun Zhizhi's instructions, skillfully cutting the fresh squid bought from the dock that morning into even strips.
Suddenly, a faint fishy smell drifted over on the cool breeze.
The Crown Princess, who was six months pregnant, became exceptionally sensitive to various smells due to her heightened physical sensitivity during pregnancy.
When she smelled the fishy odor, she immediately frowned and instinctively covered her mouth with the handkerchief in her hand.
Seeing this, Crown Prince Zhao Yunting's heart tightened, and he quickly asked with concern, "Ning'er, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
As he spoke, he gently patted the Crown Princess's back, trying to ease her discomfort.
The Crown Princess suppressed the nausea in her stomach, forced a smile, and replied softly, "I'm just a little unaccustomed to this fishy smell. It's alright, don't worry too much."
Nevertheless, her face still appeared somewhat pale.
Yun Zhizhi said, "Why don't you all move to the main hall and enjoy yourselves at your leisure?"
"Please wait a moment. I'm going to use these fresh seafood to make some delicious snacks, but the fishy smell here is really strong, so it's probably not appropriate to eat them here."
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Qi looked surprised and blurted out, "Seafood can actually be made into snacks?"
He had never heard of this strange thing before.
Yun Zhizhi patiently explained, "That's right. Not only seafood can be used to make snacks, but also chicken and duck feet or wings that are often disliked because they have little meat and are hard to chew. With careful cooking and seasoning, they can also be transformed into mouthwatering and delicious snacks."
She then added, "Tomorrow, I plan to try making a few new snacks with these ingredients."
Upon hearing this, the tenth prince's eyes instantly brightened, twinkling like brilliant stars in the night sky.
However, being naturally shy, he was too embarrassed to express his thoughts directly, so he gently tugged at the sleeve of the Eighth Princess beside him.
The clever and quick-witted Eighth Princess immediately understood the true intentions of this little tagalong.
Immediately afterwards, she reached out and tugged at Yun Zhizhi's sleeve, pleading, "Sister-in-law~ My brother and I want to come back here to play with you again tomorrow, will you welcome us?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhizhi gently reached out and lightly stroked the Eighth Princess's small and adorable nose with her finger, and smiled: "Of course you're welcome!"
After receiving a positive reply, the Eighth Princess was as happy as a joyful little bird.
Seeing this, Fang Rangrang couldn't hold back any longer and came over to Yun Zhizhi, pleading, "Sister Zhizhi, can I come and play with you tomorrow too?"
Yun Zhizhi readily agreed again: "Sure."
