Shocking! The entire court was drooling with envy because of me.

After court, Wang Shoucheng went from house to house visiting the sick without stopping.

No, he wasn't visiting someone in the hospital; he mainly wanted to see what everyone was doing at home.

After all, he didn't believe that a bunch of people would get sick on the same day.

After walking around for a while, I didn't see a single person; I was turned away several times.

Wang Shoucheng became increasingly frustrated as he walked, and for some reason, he felt abandoned.

Upon arriving at the Pei residence, they were, without a doubt, turned away at the door once again.

Helpless, he plopped down on the steps at the entrance of the Pei residence and wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve.

It's getting hotter and hotter.

Just then, several carriages approached from a distance, slowly slowed down, and stopped in front of the Pei residence.

"The grilled sausages smell so good! Let's go eat them together tomorrow!"

"You're right. I want to try the crispy sausage tomorrow. I'm so craving it after seeing others eat it today."

"Do you think Madam Shen will release any new products tomorrow? I'm dying of curiosity!"

"..."

Several voices of discussion arose.

Wang Shoucheng recognized those voices immediately. He jumped up and shouted, "Where have you all been? Weren't you all sick? What crispy sausage?!"

His tone carried a questioning tone, along with a hint of inexplicable... grievance.

Yan Wenli and the others were stunned to be questioned like this as soon as they jumped off the carriage, but when they saw that it was Wang Shoucheng, they all looked a little guilty.

They all asked Wang Shoucheng for leave, so it's easy to guess what Wang Shoucheng had gone through that day.

It's definitely going to be tough.

"Lord Wang, we've gone for... collective medical treatment." Yan Wenli smiled awkwardly.

Xin Heng: "Yes, yes, we have an incurable disease and we have to go to Ping'an County to get treatment."

Zhou Chongdian: "..."

These two are really shameless.

"We went to Ping'an County to eat grilled sausages." Pei Yuan said calmly, without hiding anything.

"Yesterday it was pure meat sausage, today it's cartilage sausage. The cartilage sausage is chewier, which I prefer. Of course, the pure meat sausage is also absolutely delicious, it's fragrant and juicy..."

Wang Shoucheng: "???"

What happened? Why did I start describing it to him?

So the Grand Secretary skipped court for two days in a row to eat grilled sausages?

Just eat it, why describe it to him? Why does he seem to be showing off a little?

"So, you all went to eat grilled sausages? You skipped court just to eat grilled sausages??" Wang Shoucheng's eyes widened.

"Lord Pei, are you joining in their nonsense too?"

His face screamed "What kind of behavior is this!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Wenli objected: "What do you mean Lord Pei is following us in making trouble? Lord Pei was clearly the one who started this."

Wang Shoucheng frowned deeply, glancing at Pei Yuan's face. Good heavens, Pei Yuan didn't even offer the slightest denial.

"Lord Pei..." Wang Shoucheng was on the verge of tears, not daring to say anything to Pei Yuan, "Regarding His Majesty's beauty pageant..."

"I know, you're taking the day off tomorrow too, let's go get some grilled sausages together."

Wang Shoucheng was stunned; he couldn't believe his ears.

How could the Prime Minister of the Cabinet say something like that?

"Lord Pei, this, this, this..."

Yan Wenli took a look and realized that Wang Shoucheng had become stuttering.

He laughed and said, "Just listen to Lord Pei. Let's go eat some grilled sausages together. You definitely won't regret it. If you don't believe me, you can ask Zhou Chongdian."

Zhou Chongdian nodded repeatedly: "The grilled sausages are so fragrant, they're practically food for gods. Once you've tasted them, you'll experience the most wonderful enjoyment in the world. One sausage and all your troubles will disappear!"

He smacked his lips as he spoke, as if savoring the memory.

Wang Shoucheng was dumbfounded; he had the feeling that these people were possessed by ghosts.

"Regarding the beauty pageant, Eunuch Gao said I should urge the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Revenue to..."

"Tomorrow you can go to Ping'an County to supervise the two of them," Pei Yuan suddenly said.

Um......

That seems to make some sense.

He went to Ping'an County to supervise the work, which meant he was carrying out orders from above.

Wang Shoucheng was suddenly persuaded.

Anyway, no matter what, if these people don't attend court tomorrow, he absolutely cannot attend court either.

He was alone, pitiful, weak, and helpless; he didn't want to face the storms of the court alone.

Never mind, when the dead eunuch asks, he can just say he went to Ping'an County to oversee the beauty pageant.

Since Yan Wenli and Zhou Chongdian aren't afraid, why should he be afraid?

......

On Shen Qing's side, the grilled sausages sold very well; one hundred portions of pure meat sausages and one hundred portions of crispy bone sausages were sold out very quickly.

I got home, petted my cat, and opened the system.

[Ding—Congratulations, host, you have successfully sold one hundred servings of pure meat sausage and one hundred servings of crispy bone sausage]

[Ding—Starch Sausage Successfully Unlocked]

Shen Qing's eyes lit up when she heard this.

Starch sausage, oh starch sausage, after much anticipation, it's finally here!

After going to the restaurant tomorrow, she insists on grilling two starch sausages for herself first.

Nothing happened that night. The next day, after Shen Qing woke up, he went to Zhiwei Restaurant.

As before, a long queue had formed outside the restaurant.

Upon seeing Shen Qing, the diners all exclaimed excitedly, their voices filled with surprise and anticipation.

Shen Qing entered the restaurant, first purchased the ingredients, and then lit the stove.

I took two starch sausages, skewered them, placed them on the grill, brushed them with oil, and gently turned them over while grilling.

Soon, the two starch sausages were grilled until they were golden brown.

She picked up a bit of chili powder and a bit of cumin with her fingers and tossed them down from a height.

The seasonings fell onto the starch sausage, and the aroma of the seasonings mixed with the aroma of the starch sausage, making it irresistible.

After Shen Qing finished grilling, he gently blew on the sausage and put it directly into his mouth.

The outer skin is slightly crispy, while the inside is soft and mealy, like chewing on a piece of rice cake with a meaty flavor.

The salty, spicy, savory, and fragrant flavors mingled together in my mouth, creating a familiar taste.

"It still has to be this starchy sausage," Shen Qing said, smacking her lips.

Compared to meat sausage, she prefers starch sausage. It doesn't have much meat, but it has a slight meaty flavor. It's not greasy but fragrant and extremely delicious.

Of course, it's also possible that the more advanced technology in it makes it more addictive.

After quickly showing off the two starch sausages, Shen Qing opened the restaurant door:

"Today, Zhiwei Restaurant offers 100 pure meat sausages, 100 cartilage sausages, and 98 starch sausages..."
