Upon learning that their daughter was going on a long trip to set up a stall, the Yun couple exchanged a glance, a hint of doubt flashing in their eyes. However, they didn't ask any further questions, simply watching Yun Zhizhi silently.
After all, my daughter is a woman of her own mind, and since she's not married yet, I'll let her do whatever she wants.
Yun Haodong walked up to his daughter and earnestly instructed her, "Zhizhi, be sure to be careful after you arrive in Yizhou City."
"Remember to keep Ping An by your side at all times. Ping An knows some martial arts. With him protecting you, your father will feel more at ease."
After saying that, he instructed He Ping'an, who was standing to the side.
He Ping'an nodded quickly in response: "Please rest assured, sir, I will definitely protect Miss."
Yun Xiaochen held Yun Zhizhi's hand tightly, looked up at her with her little face, and said in a childish voice, "Sister, I want to go with you too."
Yun Zhizhi squatted down, gently patted her younger brother's head, and softly comforted him, "Little Chen, be good. Your sister and brother Yang are going out to do business this time, so we may not be able to take good care of you."
"When your sister comes back, she'll definitely bring you lots of delicious food and fun things, okay?"
A hint of disappointment flickered in Yun Xiaochen's eyes, but she still obediently nodded: "Alright then!"
While the Yun family was eating ice cream and chatting in the courtyard, Uncle He came to report: "Miss, the Sixth Prince's guards have something to discuss with you."
Yun Zhizhi was somewhat surprised, wondering why the Sixth Prince had sent someone to find her.
Filled with doubt, she immediately stood up and walked towards the front yard; but before she even reached the front yard, she heard the intermittent bleating of sheep.
"Meow~meow~meow..."
The confusion on her face deepened.
So he quickened his pace and walked towards the front yard.
When she reached the front yard, she finally understood Zhao Wu's purpose in coming to the Yun residence.
There stood Zhao Wu, leading a bound, fat sheep awaiting slaughter.
The fat sheep looked pitiful, bleating incessantly, as if pleading for help from Yun Zhizhi.
Upon seeing Yun Zhizhi approach, Zhao Wu immediately greeted her with a smile and explained his purpose: "Miss Yun, these are top-quality black goats raised on the estate owned by our master."
"The Empress Dowager, the Empress, and the Princess all love the rouge and face powder you make. To express their gratitude, the Master specially sent his subordinates to the Yun residence to deliver this gift to you."
After Zhao Wu finished speaking, he pointed to the black goat that was still bleating.
Yun Zhizhi looked at the black goat with some surprise, and her goodwill towards the Sixth Prince grew even stronger. She smiled and said, "Please thank your master for me."
Since they've brought it right to her door, wouldn't it be disrespectful for her not to accept it? Besides, this sixth prince is quite honest; instead of sending gold and silver jewelry, he sent her these fresh, live ingredients.
Several lamb recipes flashed through her mind.
However, the black goat was still lively and energetic, so slaughtering it was not so easy.
Aunt He and she alone can't do it.
So, Yun Zhizhi turned her attention to Zhao Wu, who was preparing to go back and report.
Yun Zhizhi looked at him with a smile: "Guard Zhao Wu, could you please do me a favor?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wu quickly replied, "Miss Yun, please speak. As long as it is within my power, I will do my utmost!"
"It's not a difficult thing, I just want to ask you to help me kill this black goat."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wu's expression changed slightly, but he still nodded.
Yun Zhizhi pointed at the black goat and continued, "Guard Zhao Wu, please kill this goat, cut it open, cut the meat into small pieces, and mince some of it."
"good."
Zhao Wu never expected that his trip to the Yun residence to deliver a live sheep would actually provide a full range of services, completing the task assigned by his master to perfection.
Finally, Yun Zhizhi turned the whole fat sheep into mutton and scallion buns, mutton offal soup, roasted mutton skewers, and mutton pilaf.
Zhao Wu was eating a skewer of lamb with great relish in his left hand, while his right hand was also busy eating.
He was seen holding a spoon, occasionally taking large gulps of mutton offal soup.
"Miss Yun, your cooking skills are simply amazing. How do you manage to make the mutton and offal have absolutely no gamey smell? And the mutton skewers are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, not greasy or dry at all; and the offal soup is white and flavorful, with fragrant and chewy meat."
Zhao Wu praised it as he ate.
This delicious meal made him look at Yun Zhizhi with new respect once again.
At that moment, he felt that all the work he had done that afternoon was worthwhile.
It seems that among the six guards, he is the luckiest when it comes to food. Miss Yun's cooking skills are even better than the head chef in the manor; how is she so amazing?
Zhao Wu instantly became Yun Zhizhi's biggest fanboy.
He brazenly asked, "Miss Yun, may I eat and take some with me?"
Looking at Zhao Wu's expectant face, Yun Zhizhi smiled and said, "Okay. Take some steamed buns and lamb skewers back with you later. Besides your master, you guards will also get some."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wu was overjoyed and quickly thanked her, "Thank you, Miss Yun!"
As dusk falls, the sky gradually darkens, and the afterglow of the setting sun spills across the earth, giving people a sense of tranquility and warmth.
Inside the Sixth Prince's residence.
Zhao Yunjin had been busy in the study all afternoon. He gently massaged his sore shoulders and neck to relieve the tension in his muscles.
Then, he stood up, slowly walked out of the room, and headed towards the dining hall.
"Has Zhao Wu not returned yet?" Zhao Yunjin asked casually as they walked.
"Reporting to Master, he hasn't returned yet."
Hearing his master's indifferent tone, Zhao Yi silently prayed for Zhao Wu, hoping that he would return safe and sound.
