Chapter 1267: Chapter 1266 Different Tastes_1 Chapter 1267: Chapter 1266 Different Tastes_1 Yang Hao picked up a Century Egg and put it in his mouth to chew. The egg white was very springy, and the egg yolk was particularly savory. The addition of vinegar gave it a slightly sour taste, but it was delicious.
Without a doubt, delicious.
He couldn’t help nodding, “The flavor is great, how is it made? Why is it called ‘Pine Flower Egg’?”
Qiao Xiaomai had been paying attention to Yang Zheng’s reaction and saw his brows furrowing, knowing he didn’t like it.
Century Eggs are such that those who like them, really like them, and those who don’t, really dislike them; it is not universally accepted by the masses.
Therefore, she explained, “This is made from duck eggs. Dami and I raised some ducks, but duck eggs are not as popular as chicken eggs, and our Jiwei Residence doesn’t require many. So, I thought about trying to make something new.”
“When building houses, quicklime is used, and quicklime reacts with water to produce heat, heat enough to cook an egg. Seeing that quicklime and water could cook chicken eggs, I tried coating duck eggs with quicklime. After more than a month, they became Century Eggs.”
Ever since Shen Chenghao pointed out that her cooking skills were of unknown origin, she had become more cautious in her actions.
Whenever she came up with a new idea, she made sure to provide a sound explanation to avoid being accused of being possessed by spirits.
“However, my father and Dami both like this ‘Pine Flower Egg’, but Xiaomai doesn’t, saying it has a strange taste, and I see that Prince Zheng doesn’t like it either,” she said with a smile, looking at Yang Zheng, “Am I right, Prince Zheng?”
Yang Zheng nodded repeatedly, “It’s not tasty.”
Yang Hao, hearing this, was a bit surprised, “Not tasty?”
“Not tasty,” Yang Zheng affirmed confidently.
“If it’s not tasty, try something else, like this Milk Steamed Egg. It’s really good,” Qiao Xiaomai said, recommending another dish, fearing Yang Zheng might shift the conversation back to Yang Wenxiao, Emperor Yong’an.
The Milk Steamed Egg was made in an oven, similar to an egg tart in texture, and Qiao Dami really liked it.
Yang Zheng, still young enough to be considered a child, took a spoonful and tasted it, nodding his small head, “Tasty.”
“Then have a bit more.”
“It’s tasty, fragrant and soft. Grandpa Emperor has bad teeth, and this would be perfect for him,” Yang Zheng said, eating and speaking at the same time.
Qiao Xiaomai, “…I’ll write down the recipe later and have the Imperial Kitchen make it for him.”
“The Imperial Kitchen’s skills can’t compare to yours, Teacher Mother. I think it’s better for Grandpa Emperor to come here,” Yang Zheng returned to the topic, looking up at Yang Hao as he spoke, “Last time I accompanied Grandpa Emperor to fetch the ‘Divine Liquid’, I couldn’t come to the manor. Father, shouldn’t we invite Grandpa Emperor to stay?”
“Your Grandpa Emperor has state affairs to deal with and can’t leave,” Yang Hao shook his head.
Last time, during Yang Wenxiao’s birthday, both Qingye and Fengbao acted so abnormally. Currently, Daqi’s spies are closely monitoring the movements of these two countries, and Emperor Yong’an also visits the Imperial Guards’ camp every few days. In light of these circumstances, that’s why Yang Wenxiao insisted Yang Zheng stay at the manor for martial arts training.
Yang Wenxiao was quietly preparing for war and couldn’t leave.
Of course, he couldn’t speak of this reason, so he said, “When things calm down, we’ll let your Grandpa Emperor come over and stay for a few days. Your Teacher Mother is always here, anyway.”
“Alright,” Yang Zheng nodded, giving up on the idea of having Yang Wenxiao also come over.
“Teacher Mother, shall we go see the crayfish later?” His attention shifted again as he looked eagerly at Qiao Xiaomai.
Yang Hao also looked over, wondering if the crayfish really had that much charm to energize Xiezi County’s economy, as Ya Wuxia wanted.
