Exile? A mad, wicked woman empties the national treasury to escape famine.

Hey.

Take your time looking.

The group resigned themselves to their fate and continued searching in the woods. However, as time passed, the woods became increasingly dark, even though it wasn't dark outside. Finding food in such an environment was simply a pipe dream.

Everyone couldn't help but recall their previous encounter with the wolves in the forest...

My hair stood on end instantly.

Ji Yunyao: "Well, this godforsaken place, where can we find anything to eat? I'm not looking anymore, you guys go ahead and look, I'm going back now."

After saying that, she turned and ran, her steps hurried.

Xie Mohe and her brother were also spoiled and pampered. They had hoped to follow Ji Yunshu and pick up some bargains, but they didn't expect to get anything. When they saw Ji Yunyao run away, they became anxious and turned to run away without even saying goodbye to the officials.

The two officers looked at each other in bewilderment.

have to.

This trip was a waste of time.

They knew their older brother would scold them when they got back, but they couldn't worry about that now. They didn't dare to look for food in the woods alone.

Thinking of this, the two officers turned and ran.

When Ji Yunshu returned with two chickens, the others were still resting in the same spot. When they saw her return, everyone's eyes fell on her hands.

She was carrying two chickens in one hand and several cabbages in the other.

Everyone stared in disbelief.

Is there so much food in this forest? How come Ji Yunshu brought back so much food after only being in there for a short time!

The others immediately became excited; it seemed they would also be able to have a good meal.

Xie Mohuan, Xie Lin, and Xiao Lan rushed over, their eyes filled with disbelief as they looked at what Ji Yunshu was holding.

"My God! Third Sister-in-law, did you do all of this? Where did you find so many?"

"Your Highness, did you catch these two chickens with your bare hands?"

Ji Yunshu blinked and handed them the vegetables and chicken in her hand. "Well, there are plenty in the woods. I just grabbed a few. I was worried that there would be too many to eat, so I didn't look for too many. You should take them and process them."

"We'll use one of these chickens to make soup for my husband and sister-in-law to help them recover, and I'll use the other one to make spicy chicken for you."

I wanted to make hot pot, but unfortunately I didn't have enough ingredients, and I had to get going later, so I'll have to wait until next time.

Xie Mohuan and the other two didn't understand what spicy chicken was, but they didn't ask any questions. They took the chicken from Ji Yunshu and set it aside to start preparing it.

Ji Yunshu didn't interfere either; cleaning up the chicken feathers was enough for Xie Lin and the other two.

She went to the wagon carrying supplies and rummaged through it, actually entering her spatial dimension to take out some cooking seasonings from the shop.

The seasonings in ancient times were too limited. Cooking involved just adding salt, and even that salt was coarse salt, so the taste was indescribable. When I was in the Prince's mansion, I saw people adding salt to their cooking, grabbing handfuls and sprinkling it on like they were adding laundry detergent.

After preparing the seasonings, she took several water pouches filled with spiritual spring water from her spatial storage. Then, carrying a pile of things, she got off the carriage and ran into Ji Yunyao and the others who were returning empty-handed. Seeing her carrying another pile of things off the carriage, Ji Yunyao and the others were green with envy.

This is unbelievable!

Damn Ji Yunshu, is her luck really that good?!

She's got all the good things in the world!

It must be some kind of supernatural occurrence.

Ji Yunyao ignored them and carried a pile of things to the side of the people in the Prince's Mansion.

Xie Lin and the other two had already prepared the chicken and vegetables according to Ji Yunshu's instructions, and were just waiting for Ji Yunshu to take over.

Ji Yunshu rolled up her sleeves and tied her hair, which was hanging down her back, into a bun. The hair of ancient people was really too long, and she didn't know how to manage it. The previous few times, Xiao Lan had helped her with it. Later, she found it troublesome and felt a little embarrassed, so she told Xiao Lan not to help her anymore, and she just tied it up casually behind her back.

It's really inconvenient when cooking.

Her hair was tied up high, revealing her clean, fair, and slender neck, which captivated Xie Moyao, who was half-reclining in the carriage.

Ji Yunshu was washing the pot when a mechanical voice kept repeating in her head, reminding her that new resources had been unlocked in her space.

Ji Yunshu's mood improved considerably.

This space is like a malfunctioning conduit; sometimes it's quiet for a day or two, and other times it's noisy all day long. She's long since gotten used to it.

However, she was still very excited when she thought about the new supplies that had been unlocked in the space. While working, she hummed a little tune, the tone of which Xie Mohuan and the others had never heard before, leaving everyone completely confused.

First, take a cleaned chicken, add scallions, ginger, garlic, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, starch, cooking wine, and salt to marinate and remove any fishy smell. Set it aside for later use.

She washed the pot clean, put it on the fire, boiled some water, and set it aside. When no one was looking, she took out some dried shiitake mushrooms from her spatial storage and soaked them in the hot water.

Then he continued to pour water into the pot, put the prepared chicken into the pot, and added some red dates and goji berries.

Only then did I put the lid on the pot and let it simmer slowly.

She left this place to Xie Lin to watch over, while she picked up another pot, heated the oil, and asked Xiao Lan to make the fire burn brighter.

Xiao Lan and Xie Mohuan were also diligent, constantly trying to figure out how to make the fire bigger. Along the way, they lit many fires, and the two of them became more and more skilled at it.

When the oil temperature is about right, put the marinated spicy chicken into the oil and fry until it's about 60% cooked. Then, remove the chicken pieces and set them aside. When the oil temperature rises again, put the chicken pieces back in to fry.

Only after the outer shell is fried to a golden brown and crispy should the chicken pieces be taken out again.

With a little oil left in the pan, she took the prepared dried chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, ginger slices, and garlic slices, and put them into the pan to stir-fry. After releasing the aroma of the seasonings, she poured all the previously fried chicken pieces into the pan and quickly stir-fried them until each piece of chicken was well-seasoned before taking the chicken out of the pan.

Ji Yunshu's movements were fluid and skillful, leaving everyone speechless.

With the aroma of chicken filling the air, the way people looked at Ji Yunshu changed slightly once again.

She's incredibly versatile.

When did this person learn all this?!

The skills she just demonstrated seem to be even more impressive than those of the imperial chefs in the palace!

Not to mention others, even the people in the Prince's mansion couldn't wait any longer.

Ji Yunshu's spicy chicken was so delicious that they could have resisted it. But when they saw the fragrant chicken in front of them, they couldn't resist anymore!

Granny Li helped the old princess walk over, her steps unsteady.

"Third daughter-in-law, is the chicken ready? I'm getting a little hungry." The old princess is Xie Moyao's mother. Although she is respectfully called the old princess, she is not very old. Granny Li is only a few years older than the old princess. Both of them have good teeth and there is no problem with chewing.

Therefore, when Ji Yunshu made spicy chicken, she didn't fry it too soft. Anyway, there was another pot of clear stew. If it was too tough to chew, she could eat another pot of chicken stew with mushrooms.
