After leaving under the strange look of the maid, Jiang Zhiyuan came to the front hall and sat down.
Urging the maid to prepare food, Jiang Zhiyuan touched his still hot face.
"Those two maids actually dared to laugh at me, huh! I will definitely find a chance to treat them both next time!" Jiang Zhiyuan secretly made up his mind.
After sitting for a while, the maid hadn't prepared anything to eat and she hadn't eaten yet. Jiang Zhiyuan, who was very irritable, was a little impatient.
"It's been so long, why aren't you ready yet! I want to see how you useless servants work!"
Jiang Zhiyuan walked towards the kitchen angrily.
When we came to the back kitchen, several cooks were busy inside.
As soon as she saw Jiang Zhiyuan enter the door, the maid who was anxiously urging the cook immediately stood in front of her.
"Your Highness, why are you in such a dirty place like the kitchen? Please go back quickly and don't hurt your precious body."
When the cooks inside saw the princess coming, they knelt down quickly.
"Princess... Your Highness, please give us a little more time, and the food will be ready for you soon."
The cooks were all kneeling on the ground in fear. Although they had been working in the kitchen, they had also heard that the third princess was unruly and willful, irritable and irritable. She was obviously a daughter-in-law but acted like a man.
But they really couldn't blame them today, because it was already afternoon, and they didn't expect that the three princesses would get up at this time today and ask them to cook in such a hurry.
Jiang Zhiyuan walked straight into the kitchen with a straight face.
But to their surprise, Jiang Zhiyuan did not reprimand them, but asked, "Who among you has the best cooking skills?"
Jiang Zhiyuan's cold eyes swept over the kneeling cooks with a sophisticated look.
Everyone was stunned, and they were very puzzled by their princess's words and actions.
Could it be that her princess wanted to take it out on the most skilled cook because they hadn't cooked the meal for so long?
Or maybe there is some other intention.
However, just looking at Jiang Zhiyuan's expression, they all felt that something bad would definitely happen to this so-called person with the best cooking skills.
It was precisely because they couldn't figure out what Jiang Zhiyuan wanted to do that they didn't dare to act rashly.
Seeing that none of the cooks responded, Jiang Zhiyuan became a little impatient, and the expression on his face gradually darkened.
A cook saw that the situation was not good and quickly pushed his companion beside him.
The companion was pushed forward and raised his head just in time to meet Jiang Zhiyuan's scrutinizing gaze.
"Everyone who is not a cook, get out and close the door!" Jiang Zhiyuan shouted loudly.
The maid hurriedly went out.
Jiang Zhiyuan looked at the cook who was kneeling on the ground at a loss and said, "Get up. Today the princess will cook in person. You are responsible for assisting me. The rest of you will do some chores nearby. I will leave the words first. Here, if you do well, you will be rewarded heavily, if you do not do well, just wait to be punished!"
After saying that, Jiang Zhiyuan rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the stove in the middle.
Several cooks looked at each other, wondering why the three princesses wanted to cook in person today.
However, if Jun wanted to die, Cheng Cheng had to die, so they had no choice but to get up and start making this difficult meal with the third princess.
"I wonder what kind of cooking, Your Highness Princess, do you want to learn?"
"This princess is extremely talented, just tell me a slightly difficult dish!"
"Okay, then I will teach the princess how to make an emerald white jade soup!" the cook said carefully.
Even though the chef had worked as a waiter for two years, he felt that his brain was no longer sufficient.
He could naturally tell that the princess had never held a spoon before, but she wanted to try to learn how to cook.
How is it possible that a person who has never learned to cook will achieve anything if he cooks for the first time? If she gets rectified later, if one of them gets angry, they may even get slapped with a stick.
"Princess, you have to wait until the pot is red before adding oil... Don't put the vegetables in a hurry, they will burn!"
"I know. Actually, I just want to test you and see if you are seriously assisting me."
"Aha, Her Highness the Princess is indeed unpredictable. Every move she makes is not something that servants like us can easily figure out." The cook on the side said while wiping the non-existent sweat on his forehead.
It is said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. This cook now truly understands the meaning of this sentence.
"Princess, hurry up! Cook the vegetables quickly! If you don't fry the cabbage, it will burn."
"Okay, okay, I understand. What's the rush?" A trace of panic flashed across Jiang Zhiyuan's face.
I saw that the cabbage in the pot was constantly emitting black smoke and was about to be burnt.
Jiang Zhiyuan hurriedly waved the spatula, but didn't know what to do.
She originally wanted to come to the kitchen to see if the servants were preparing meals carefully, but when she got here, she thought that the heroines in the books she had read before were all very clever and would make all kinds of things for their husband-in-law. So delicious.
For some reason, Jiang Zhiyuan also suddenly wanted to learn two dishes so that he could show off in front of his brother Zhou.
After all, from now on, she must not only learn to be a queen, but also a wife.
The originally flawless white cabbage finally turned into a pile of black dregs.
Jiang Zhiyuan scratched his head in annoyance and pursed his lips without saying a word.
The cook on the side carefully comforted her, "Don't be discouraged, Princess. This dish is one of the most difficult dishes to make. Even with my level, I can only make it once out of ten times." Twice, if you don’t believe me, ask someone else.”
As he spoke, the cook quickly winked at the other cooks beside him.
Jiang Zhiyuan glanced at him with doubtful eyes, and all the cooks nodded in agreement.
"Yes, Your Highness Princess."
"This is the first time for Her Royal Highness to cook this dish. It is already very good to be able to reach this level."
"Yeah, I think I made this dish once, but I had to go through a lot of hardships and made it more than a hundred times before I succeeded."
"Even now, if I try it ten times, I can only succeed twice."
All the cooks were very clever and told lies, even though they all knew very well that even a little kid could learn this simple dish of cabbage and tofu stewed twice.
Listening to the words of the chefs, Jiang Zhiyuan couldn't help but regain confidence.
"It turns out it's really not my problem, it's that this dish is too difficult. Hmm, let me just say, I'm obviously very talented. No matter how difficult the martial arts skills are, I only need to spend a few days to make them worth the painstaking efforts of others. After studying for several years, how could I not be able to make even a single dish!" Jiang Zhiyuan clenched her fists and secretly made up her mind that she must learn to make this dish today.
"Quickly, change the pot for me and prepare these and other things!" Jiang Zhiyuan pointed at the ruined pot of cabbage and said.
Several cooks quickly changed pots and washed another cabbage.
Jiang Zhiyuan had the experience of failure last time, and this time he looked confident and took charge again.
"Your Highness, it's time to put the tofu in!"
"Don't rush me. If you push me, I'll get anxious!"
"Your Highness, you have to break up the tofu, otherwise it will stick together!"
…
"That's not how it's done. If you do it like this, the tofu will break into pieces!"
…
"Your Highness, put a spoonful of salt, just a spoonful, don't put too much."
"Which one is salt? This one? Or this one?"
"The one on the left!"
"Found it, this is it!"
"No! Your Highness, please stop shaking your hands! It's over!"
Jiang Zhiyuan shook his hand and the entire salt jar fell directly into the pot.
The jar hit the iron pot and broke into pieces.
The pure white salt spilled out and instantly melted into the dishes.
…
Jiang Zhiyuan looked at the bowl of something similar to vegetables in his hand with some satisfaction, and said proudly to the cook and maid beside him, "This is the first bowl I have made... What's the jade?"
Jiang Zhiyuan scratched his head with his oily hands and looked at the cook aside.
The cook whispered, "It's emerald white jade soup."
"Well, yes! That's what it's called." Jiang Zhiyuan nodded, "No, I have to go to my queen mother to taste it!"
After saying that, Jiang Zhiyuan jumped out of the door.
In the palace.
Liu Wanyu looked at the bowl of food on the table with a sad face.
The reason why this bowl of food can still be called a dish is because there is a green cabbage leaf in it, which is covered with black dregs, and the rest is a big ball of black stuff.
"You said...you did this?" Liu Wanyu said with a hint of uncertainty in her tone.
Jiang Zhiyuan said proudly, "Of course, I just made this. I haven't even taken a bite myself, so I wanted to give it to my mother to try it first. Speaking of which, I haven't eaten yet and I'm already hungry. .”
Jiang Zhiyuan rubbed her stomach, which was already growling with hunger. "Concubine, please take a bite quickly. I also want you to give me some suggestions on what kind of dishes to cook for Brother Zhou!"
Liu Wanyu swallowed, and couldn't help but feel speechless when she looked at the daughter in front of her who had cognitive impairment both in her appreciation of dishes and her talent in cooking.
Obviously, her daughter did not notice any difference between the dish in front of her and what she usually eats.
"This... why don't you try it yourself first!" After Liu Wanyu hesitated for a moment, she put down her chopsticks and decided to let her daughter recognize the reality.
Jiang Zhiyuan asked doubtfully, "Won't you try it, mother-in-law?"
Looking at her daughter who hadn't realized the problem yet, Liu Wanyu sighed, "Well... this dish is a little cold and the taste may be a bit off. You put it here first and I'll ask the palace maid to heat it up later."
Jiang Zhiyuan nodded in agreement, "Yes, the taste of the food will indeed change when it gets cold."
Liu Wanyu held her forehead, determined to get rid of her daughter as soon as possible, and sighed, "What did you want me to do before?"
"I just want my mother to give me an idea. What kind of dish should I cook for Brother Zhou?" Jiang Zhiyuan held her chin up, with a thoughtful look on her face. "I don't think ordinary dishes can show my true self." With my strength, I want to make a more difficult dish.”
Liu Wanyu resisted the urge to criticize her daughter.
Just as Jiang Zhiyuan could make a dish of cabbage stewed with tofu look like this, it was really hard for Liu Wanyu to imagine how she could ruin other dishes.
"Why don't you make some soup for him?" Liu Wanyu said with a serious face, "This soup takes a long time to make, it is very difficult, and it can really show off your... superb skills!"
Jiang Zhiyuan nodded in agreement, "That's true, then what kind of soup should I make?"
"I heard that there is a magnolia tree in the Queen Mother's Palace, and it seems to have bloomed recently. You can go to her and ask for a few magnolia branches to make some magnolia soup." Liu Wanyu said slowly.
When Jiang Zhiyuan heard this, he immediately beamed with joy, "I think this is feasible, thank you for your advice!"
After saying that, he ran out.
Liu Wanyu looked at her leaving figure with a smile, a faint light flashing in her eyes.
