"Is something wrong?"

Su Wan Ning smiled and looked at the Sixth Prince, "Both of these are medicinal dishes that I carefully prepared. They are all good for strengthening the spleen and stomach. Does the Sixth Prince find the taste unpleasant?"

No, not at all.

The sixth prince was full of doubt. He had tasted this mountain delicacy soup once before at the Empress's banquet.

What did the Empress say back then? This mountain delicacy soup is so well made that even the anorexic Crown Prince would drink half a bowl more, so she rewarded them to try it as well.

After eating it, he felt it was nothing special, but he didn't dare to say anything.

But this bowl in front of him was so smooth and thick, soft, fragrant and sweet, that it was really delicious and seemed like something that could make the prince drink half a bowl more.

It is said that the young cook became the Crown Prince's special chef for medicinal cuisine because of this mountain delicacy soup. Later, she made many other medicinal dishes, including Huaiyu steamed cake.

If it's just a type of food, it could be considered a coincidence.

But if both of them taste better, then something is definitely wrong.

He just couldn't remember the cook's name, otherwise he could have been sure if she was Su Niangzi's cousin.

"You claim that you created both of these dishes? Have you ever taught them to others?"

The Sixth Prince reminded her, "For example, when you were in the Imperial Kitchen, did you teach your cousin?"

"No."

Su Wanning's palms were sweaty, but her tone was firm.

The arrival of the Sixth Prince presents a great opportunity.

The steamed jade cake and mountain delicacy soup were freshly made; she had specially prepared them after recognizing the Sixth Prince's identity. Whether he would investigate the truth or stand up for himself, it was enough that he had this suspicion in his heart at this moment.

If she returns to Kyoto one day and exposes Lin Yuwei as an imposter, her chances of winning will be much greater.

That's strange.

The Sixth Prince's mind was full of all sorts of guesses, but seeing that she was unwilling to say more, he had no choice but to suppress them. "Make me a few more servings later, and also prepare a few servings of all the tea bags in your shop that I can take with me."

He handed her a fifty-tael silver note, saying, "Is this enough?"

"Yes, Sixth Young Master."

Su Wanning accepted the silver note, bowed, and took her leave.

She has plenty of ingredients in her shop, enough to make several more servings.

"What are you trying to do?"

Mu Xun was completely bewildered by the two of them.

"I have to get back tonight."

The Sixth Prince hoped he could ride back as fast as he could so that these things wouldn't spoil when they reached the Crown Prince's table...

Su Wan Ning turned around behind the screen, her forehead already covered in a thin layer of sweat.

Rushing back overnight? Could it be that this sixth prince is taking her things for the crown prince to try?

She believed that once the Crown Prince tasted it, he would be able to detect something was wrong more than others, and perhaps he could even expose Lin Yuwei through this!

Even if Lin Yuwei has someone behind her, she is not afraid. What is fake is fake. She will make Lin Yuwei taste all the suffering she endured in her past life!

"Come quick, I'm starving!"

Xu Lingxi and the others had already moved the table to the courtyard, leaving only the door connecting the courtyard and the shop open. The group waved to her from the courtyard.

Xie Yan and Su Tang, who died tragically in their previous lives, are now full of energy.

Li Jun, who was targeting him just a few days ago, is now coming to tell him the truth.

Furthermore, the once unapproachable and domineering noble lady was just a carefree young girl in front of him.

Su Wan Ning's eyes quickly swept across the faces of the group. In this second life, everything was moving in a positive direction, so she was sure she could expose Lin Yu Wei's hypocritical and vicious face!

She strode over, "Coming, coming! Quickly, put the beef in!"

The hot pot with butter was already bubbling away, and steam quickly filled the courtyard.

However, this courtyard was much cooler than other places, and even with such a big pot, it didn't feel very hot.

Actually, the weather is hot, dry, and humid right now, which isn't really suitable for eating such a rich and flavorful hot pot, but Xu Lingxi kept nagging her about it, so Su Wan Ning decided to give it a try.

The soup base is made by simmering beef bones, and the beef tallow is rendered from beef lard.

After the butter is rendered, it needs to be simmered with old ginger, dried tangerine peel, cardamom, star anise, scallions, Sichuan peppercorns, and chili peppers. A small amount of dried tangerine peel should also be added.

Only butter rendered in this way will have a rich aroma.

Finally, beef bone broth is added, which makes a pot of bright red and fragrant soup.

Besides the broth, the preparation of the side dishes is also very important.

Choose tenderloin for the lamb, and cut it neither too thin nor too thick. If it's too thin, it won't be chewy, and if it's too thick, it will be tough to bite.

When it comes to beef hot pot, you should also choose good cuts. Beef tenderloin is tender, beef chuck is marbled with fat and lean meat, and beef brisket is crisp, tender and flavorful. However, the most classic and most difficult to prepare is the 'beef stomach'.

You need to use wood ash, salt, and flour to repeatedly rub and soak the food to remove any residue.

Then divide it into four parts: tripe, honeycomb tripe, and sand cucumber. All of them need to be braised. After braising, they can be eaten in different ways. The thousand-layer tripe is the star of tonight's meal.

"One bite and it's crunchy, just the right taste!"

Xu Lingxi picked up a piece of tripe with her chopsticks, dipped it in the hot pot a few times, rolled it in the oil sauce, and then stuffed it all into her mouth, stomping her feet excitedly.

It's crispy and tender when you bite into it, so delicious!

Li Jun looked disgusted. "How can this taste good?"

She pointed at the pork kidney slices and pig brains, looking at Su Wan Ning, "You can eat this? You spoil her too much! You get her whatever she wants to eat!"

"Miss Yun, stop just looking and have a taste."

Su Wan Ning took out serving chopsticks and blanched some tripe for Li Jun. "We who cook food shouldn't categorize ingredients into different grades. We have to experiment to find the best way to cook them."

"If you won't eat it, I will!"

They finally found a cow, but there was only so much tripe on it, and Su Lingxi was reluctant to give it to her.

Seeing Li Jun hesitate, he raised his hand to grab it back.

Seeing that she was about to snatch it, Li Jun quickly stuffed it into her mouth, "Mmm... Mmm! So delicious!"

These two are the precious young ladies of the Li family. Xie Yan didn't compete with them for them. He focused on eating the meat and even tried a lot of duck and chicken gizzards. They were stewed in a beef tallow pot, and the taste was much better than ordinary stir-fried or stewed meat!

Su Tang goes without saying.

She knew better than anyone what hunger felt like, and after Su Wan Ning arrived, she started eating and eating.

The person was small, but wielded chopsticks incredibly fast, and all kinds of meat, fish slices, and river shrimp, as well as the vegetables inside, were exceptionally delicious.

The tofu soaked up all the broth, and every bite was bursting with flavor. The radish was added first and had already absorbed all the flavors, making it even tastier than the meat!

The leafy greens were just too spicy!

One bite and Su Tang's tears fell. "Waaah, it's so spicy!"

Su Wan Ning hurried to the well and retrieved the milk tea that had been chilled in the well water beforehand. "Quick, drink some milk to relieve the spiciness!"

"Yes, yes, give me some too."

Xu Lingxi raised her arm and exaggeratedly wiped her eyes with her sleeve. "It's too spicy! Are we going to eat up our stock before I even have a chance to grow the chili peppers?"

No, it won't.

Su Wanning served each of them a cup of milk tea.

When I handed it to Xu Lingxi, I took a closer look at her and noticed that her eyes and nose were very red, and her voice had been choked up when she spoke.

Logically speaking, how could the spiciness of the beef tallow hot pot possibly make Xu Lingxi cry, given that she can handle such spicy food?
