147 Golden Jade Soup

After the chestnuts were fried, they were peeled. Yu Niaoniao divided the chestnuts into two piles.

One of the piles of chestnuts was cut into pieces and placed in the mutton soup. At the same time, the yams were skinned and cut. They were also placed in the soup. They were sprinkled with salt, pepper, and wolfberries before they were covered to simmer.

Another pile of chestnuts was mashed, added to honey, stirred evenly, and pressed down with a mold to make square chestnuts. Finally, it was drizzled with freshly brewed osmanthus sugar.

Yu Niaoniao lifted the lid of the pot and took a look. The mutton soup in the pot was finished.

The soup was bright and the mutton was tender.

She stirred it with a soup spoon twice, and the rich fragrance spread immediately.

Pan Dafu sniffed the fragrance. “What soup is this? It smells so good!”

Yu Niaoniao said, “This is called Golden Jade Soup.”

The white yam paired with the golden chestnuts really looked like white jade and gold, living up to the name of the dish.

Pan Dafu’s eyes lit up.

“I’ve heard of this soup. It’s said to be imperial food in the palace. Only the emperor can taste it. I didn’t expect Teacher to be able to make this soup.”

Yu Niaoniao blinked. When she first learned this dish, she only thought that the name of this soup was quite pleasant. She did not expect it to be an imperial dish.

Seeing that everyone was drooling, Yu Niaoniao scooped out a portion with a soup spoon and placed it in a porcelain jar.

“You can share the rest among yourselves.”

Pan Dafu and the others were overjoyed. They took out their bowls and chopsticks and surrounded the pot to taste the famous Golden Jade Soup.

Yu Niaoniao walked out of the kitchen with a tray.

As soon as she appeared, she immediately attracted the attention of the Eagle Guards in the dining hall.

The Eagle Guards were secretly guessing what delicious food Miss Yu had made today.

Yu Niaoniao walked briskly toward the private room.

Making delicious food was indeed a very relaxing activity. Just now, she was focused on cooking and had no time to think about those terrifying corpses.

In the private room, Xiao Juan had been waiting for a while.

Yu Niaoniao placed the tray on the table and lifted the lid of the porcelain cup, revealing the golden jade soup inside.

“Please have your meal, Your Highness.”

Xiao Juan scooped up a spoonful of soup and tasted it. It was delicious and did not have the smell of mutton at all. If he tasted it carefully, he could still taste the sweetness left behind by the lettuce and chestnuts.

Yu Niaoniao picked up a piece of chestnut cake and asked as she ate.

“I heard that this Golden Jade Soup is the imperial cuisine of the palace. Have you eaten this soup in the palace?”

Xiao Juan slowly finished a piece of mutton before speaking.

“I have.”

Yu Niaoniao asked curiously, “Compared to the imperial food in the palace, which tastes better?”

Xiao Juan blurted out without thinking.

“Yours is better.”

Although the imperial food in the palace was exquisite, it was tasteless.

He liked the food that Yu Niaoniao made more. It had a different aura.

Yu Niaoniao beamed with joy. “Just based on your words, I’ll definitely make more delicious food for you in the future!”

Xiao Juan’s voice softened involuntarily.

“Okay.”

After eating and drinking her fill, Yu Niaoniao took a nap as usual.

She had to continue teaching people to draw in the afternoon.

In order to relax, she specially packed a pack of fried chestnuts.

She let the students sketch the corpse while she sat beside it and peeled chestnuts with tea.

This method proved to be working.

With the comfort of food, she felt much more relaxed and less afraid when facing corpses.

Lo Pingsha couldn’t help but look at her a little longer.

What kind of woman was she? She could eat chestnuts near a corpse with relish.

Yu Niaoniao noticed his gaze and thought that he was greedy. She grabbed a handful of chestnuts and handed it over, asking him if he wanted to eat.

Lo Pingsha looked at the chestnut in her palm.

The chestnut skin had been fried until it exploded, revealing the golden flesh inside. The surface was still covered in a faint layer of oil.

It looked delicious.

Silently, he reached out and received the stir-fried chestnuts.

“Thank you.”
