Zhao Wu scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, and when he saw the displeasure on Zhao Yunjin's face, he quickly said:
"I was originally planning to return immediately after delivering the goat, but when I saw that Miss Yun wanted to make some goat-related dishes to express her gratitude to her master but dared not slaughter the goat, I stayed to help her."
"I hope my master can forgive my unauthorized actions."
Upon hearing Zhao Wu's explanation, Zhao Yunjin's expression softened considerably.
Zhao Wu silently breathed a sigh of relief.
He's good at adapting to changing circumstances.
Just then, Zhao Wu opened the food box, and a strong and unique aroma wafted out. Everyone was immediately drawn to the fragrance and turned their attention to the food box.
Doctor Zhou couldn't wait to get to the food box, quickly picked up a skewer of mutton and a mutton bun, and put them in his mouth without hesitation to chew.
"Mmm~ These lamb skewers are absolutely delicious! The meat is tender and juicy, with no gamey taste at all, it's simply unforgettable."
Immediately afterwards, Doctor Zhou took another bite of the mutton bun, his eyes widening in surprise.
"Wow! These thin-skinned, generously filled buns are bursting with juice in every bite! The bun skin is soft yet chewy, and the lamb filling is incredibly delicious and rich in flavor. This is the first time in my life I've ever tasted such delicious meat buns and lamb skewers!"
After showing off his meal in one go, he reached for another food container and suddenly noticed a plate of rice with generous portions. He quickly asked, "What kind of rice is this? It smells so delicious!"
Seeing his menacing expression, Zhao Wu was so frightened that he immediately closed the food box. "This box is for us guards, especially this plate of mutton pilaf, which Miss Yun left for me to enjoy as a midnight snack."
The meaning is quite clear: he wants to eat it all by himself.
Zhao Yunjin stared at him coldly, saying, "Eating too much at night is not a good habit, and it's also hard to digest."
Zhao Wu, being a clever and quick-witted man, immediately understood his master's meaning.
He hurriedly placed the fragrant bowl of hand-grabbed rice in front of Zhao Yunjin, his face beaming with a fawning smile:
"Master, you must be hungry, right? Here, try this. People need food to survive, and you'll get hungry if you skip a meal! Besides, we should eat more staple foods."
Oh dear, what a pity.
When he was at the Yun residence, he deliberately didn't try this delicious hand-grabbed rice, thinking he would save his stomach for more lamb skewers, lamb offal soup, and lamb buns.
Then, after returning to the palace, one can slowly enjoy this bowl of fragrant mutton pilaf.
result………
Now that he saw the tempting hand-grabbed rice in front of him, Zhao Wu was really itching to try it.
Zhao Yunjin nodded slightly in agreement.
He originally had no appetite, but after smelling the tempting aroma of meat, he suddenly felt unbearably hungry.
So he ate a big bowl of delicious hand-grabbed rice, three steaming hot buns, and several skewers of fragrant lamb.
Zhao Yunjin's good appetite surprised everyone present.
Especially Master Xuanzhen.
Isn't his apprentice supposed to have a poor appetite?
Seeing Zhao Yunjin wiping the grease from the corner of his mouth, Master Xuanzhen asked with curiosity, "Disciple, how does the rice taste?"
He and Old Man Zhou actually ate it all up.
"The flavor is incredibly rich. The rice fully absorbs the taste of the mutton and spices, making it delicious and flavorful. The mutton is stewed until tender, and the vegetables give the rice a subtle sweetness. It's truly unforgettable."
Not only that, the golden-brown, glistening lamb skewers and the juicy lamb buns were also extremely to his liking.
Zhao Yunjin was becoming increasingly curious about where Yun Zhizhi had learned such excellent cooking skills.
Master Xuanzhen recalled how much they had enjoyed their meal and how highly they had praised the dishes, and suddenly the vegetarian food in his mouth no longer tasted good.
Today, when he saw his apprentice send Zhao Wu to deliver goats, he should have stopped him and instead sent a basket of vegetables to Yun Zhizhi.
With her superb culinary skills and understanding of human relationships, he is very likely to be able to taste a variety of unique and delicious vegetarian dishes.
Thinking of this, Master Xuanzhen couldn't help but sigh.
At the same time, he also hated that he was a vegetarian old monk.
On the day of departure, just as dawn broke, He Yang, carrying his bundle, eagerly boarded a carriage and arrived at the Yun residence.
At this moment, Yun Zhizhi was sitting in the courtyard eating breakfast. When she saw He Yang, she couldn't help but smile.
He was dressed in a bright red outfit and walked quickly towards us.
"Good morning, boss!" He Yang greeted him cheerfully.
Looking at his outfit, Yun Zhizhi couldn't help but mutter, "We haven't even started setting up our stall yet, is it really necessary to dress so flashy?"
He Yang grinned, revealing his white teeth: "Of course it's necessary. I'm not only wearing this bright red robe, but I also have several other red outfits in my bundle."
"In addition, I also brought a lot of things to ward off evil spirits, such as garlic, dog teeth, peach wood sword... In short, I was very well equipped."
As he spoke, he patted his bag with a smug look on his face.
Yun Zhizhi held her forehead.
"Alright, I know you're afraid of ghosts, but the place we're going to this time isn't haunted."
It seems his previous experience as a street vendor has left him with quite a bit of trauma!
"By the way, have you had breakfast yet? Would you like some mutton buns?" Yun Zhizhi asked.
She deliberately left some steamed buns to eat if she got hungry on the way.
Upon hearing the words "mutton buns," He Yang, who had already eaten breakfast, felt his stomach growl again.
"OK."
He took a hot bun and eagerly took a bite. Instantly, a rich aroma of meat filled his mouth, making his eyes light up.
"Mmm~ It's so delicious!" He Yang exclaimed indistinctly as he ate.
He finished the whole steamed bun in no time, even licking the oil off his fingers, looking like he wanted more.
"Boss, which food stall did you buy these premium mutton buns from? I definitely want to go there when we get back from our stall!" He Yang asked expectantly.
Yun Zhizhi chuckled lightly: "These buns are unavailable. If you want some, I'll make them for you later."
Upon hearing this, He Yang asked with delight, "Did you make these steamed buns?"
Yun Zhizhi smiled and nodded.
"As expected, following the boss means you'll get what you deserve."
A quarter of an hour later, the two carriages slowly drove out of the alley and headed straight for the bustling street, heading towards the city gate.
At this moment, Yun Zhizhi and He Yang, who were sitting in two separate carriages, were unaware that many people were silently following behind them.
