“This is roast duck. It tastes fragrant and crispy.”
“There’s no need to introduce the fish with pickled cabbages. Third Young Master has already eaten it.”
“This is twice-cooked Pork, which is stir-fried with fat and lean pork belly and chili.”
“This dish is stir-fried green beans. The green beans are very tender now, and it can be considered a side dish to relieve the greasy taste.”
“This is cucumber shreds mixed with Kudzu root powder.”
“This carrot salad is sour, refreshing, and delicious. It’s just an ordinary pickled vegetable.”
“Next is Bitter gourd salad, which can cool your body.”
Ye Muyu did not find it annoying and patiently explained every dish.
Xie Yu became even more excited after hearing Ye Muyu’s explanation. He felt that every dish looked very appetizing.
There were also a few dishes that he had never eaten before.
“It looks delicious, then I won’t stand on ceremony.” Xie Yu smiled as he picked up the food. He first drank a mouthful of mushroom and winter melon stewed chicken soup. It was really delicious. It was not bad at all. The taste of the chicken soup was very strong.
The mushroom did not overpower the taste of the chicken soup.
The winter melon stew was just right. It was neither soft nor hard to eat, and it also had the fresh fragrance of chicken soup.
After drinking the soup, he could not wait to start eating the meat.
The twice-cooked pork in front of him became his first choice because he could already smell the fragrance of the twice-cooked pork.
Picking up a piece and feeding it into his mouth, Xie Yu only felt the fragrance of the meat spread in his mouth in an instant. Even if he had lunch at noon, in order to prevent eating too much and not eating in the afternoon, it would
make Chu Heng lose face.
He was only half full from lunch.
At this moment, Xie Yu sincerely felt how wise his decision was.
It was very delicious.
Xie Yu could not be blamed for this. Ye Muyu’s cooking method was the same as that of the later generations. Great Chu still had a lot of limitations in cooking at this time, such as not using many seasonings.
Ye Muyu had asked Chu Heng if cooking these dishes would attract too much attention.
Chu Heng gave her a negative answer. He only said that there were many people with good craftsmanship among the people. Great Chu was also in a peaceful and prosperous era, and there were many talented people.
Being able to cook well was not anything eye-catching.
With that, Ye Muyu was relieved. Since she did not want to mistreat herself, she naturally kept improving.
Moreover, cooking could also earn money, so why would Ye Muyu not do it?
She was even happy that she had such culinary skills so that she could save some private money to let himself and his family live a better life.
On Xie Yu’s side, he had already tasted every dish.
Originally, he did not have much expectations for the roast duck because the Fragrance Restaurant had this dish.
However, the roast duck of the Fragrance Restaurant was very fat, which was also what the customers liked.
People did not like lean ones because it would the texture would be dry.
Who knew that after tasting the roast duck, he fell in love with it? It was fat but not greasy, thin but not dry. It was probably the highest praise for meat.
The skin of the roast duck was crispy and fragrant.
Xie Yu could not help but eat three pieces.
If he had npt eaten lunch, he might have been able to continue eating.
Xie Wan was similar to Xie Yu.
Xie Wan was the daughter of a concubine, and her mother had passed away. In the Xie family, she was a child whose father did not dote on her and did not have a mother. She usually ate well, but she definitely could not be compared to Xie Yu.
Thinking about it, even Xie Yu felt that these dishes were to his liking, not to mention a little girl who was not favored.
Therefore, Xie Wan did not need Ye Muyu to entertain her. With the help of the maids behind her, Xie Wan was very satisfied.
However, what surprised Ye Muyu the most was Chu Heng.
Chu Heng actually ate quite a bit as well. However, the more he ate, the more resentful his eyes became..
