“What? Are they shameless?” Mingyu exploded when she heard that.
Zhou Ying immediately tugged at her sleeve.
Everyone who was eating immediately raised their heads and looked at Mingyu with gossipy faces.
Seeing this, Mingyu smiled awkwardly and waved her hand. “Cough, cough, continue to eat and drink; we’re just chatting.”
Seeing this, everyone did not ask any more questions and continued the banquet.
Zhou Ying lowered her head and asked softly, “Wanning, what do you think?” “It would be best if the entire capital knew about it, but it can’t be the three of us who spread it.” Yang Wanning looked at Mingyu after she finished speaking. Mingyu’s eyes widened when she heard that. She nodded in understanding and replied, “1 understand.”
Soon after, Zhou Huaiming accompanied King Rui and started toasting drinks.
When it was their turn, Zhou Huaiming said to Zhou Ying, “Sister-in-law, please come out when you’re almost done eating.”
Zhou Ying nodded. After they left, she ate another piece of chicken, got up, and walked out.
As soon as she reached the outside, she was stopped by a young eunuch. “Xiao
Dezi greets Madam Gu. Please follow me.”
After saying that, he turned around and walked to the side.
Zhou Ying hesitated for a moment and followed him. At the same time, she opened her spiritual senses to monitor her surroundings just in case.
When they arrived at an empty s.p.a.ce, Xiao Dezi said, “Madam Gu, please take the time to make a pot of Egg Fried Rice. The Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress would like to taste your cooking.”
Zhou Ying was surprised to hear that. Since King Rui knew that they were coming, he would definitely prepare enough food for them. Why did they still want to eat Egg Fried Rice?
Xiao Dezi had met countless people since he was young, and he could guess what she was thinking at a glance. However, he could not say that the three were just craving to taste her cooking, so he could only cough and ask, “What do you need?”
Zhou Ying hesitated momentarily before replying, “Let’s go to the kitchen and look. Different ingredients will taste different.”
“Please follow me.” After Xiao Dezi finished speaking, he brought her to a big kitchen.
When they arrived at the kitchen, most of the cooking had stopped, with only a few helpers still busy cleaning.
Zhou Ying glanced at the remaining ingredients in the kitchen. To be honest, there was barely anything. Fortunately, there was still pork fat, onions, carrots, eggs, and cold rice.
She turned around and asked, “Do all three guests eat carrots?”
“Yes, but you have to control the amount.”
“No problem, it’s just for color.” Zhou Ying glanced at everyone in the kitchen and said, “However, just leave the helpers behind. The rest of them have to leave.”
Xiao Dezi nodded after hearing this and understood her concerns.
He left behind a young boy stoking a fire and chased everyone out.
Zhou Ying quickly started preparing. First, she took a big, clean basin and scattered the cold rice before placing it in front of a stove.
The hot wind would evaporate the water in the rice faster.
Then, she cracked six eggs and added salt and a small amount of pepper to them.
She cut up some green onions and small radishes for later use. Then, she prepared the pork fat that she needed.
After preparing everything, she didn’t hurry to stir-fry the rice. Instead, she waited for the rice to cool down completely.
At the same time, Zhou Ying prepared a simple thermal container. It was made simple by putting hot water in the bottom container and the Egg Fried Rice on top.
After ensuring the cold rice was no longer sticky, she asked the helper to make the fire bigger.
First, she poured a large spoonful of pork fat, followed by the eggs. Before the eggs could solidify, she quickly poured in the cold rice.
Then, she used a spatula to quickly stir-fry the rice until every grain was covered with a layer of egg.
After the rice was heated, she added the chopped green onions and carrots and quickly stir-fried them..
