Chapter 100: Chapter 100 I Don’t Want

Jiang Ning served herself a bowl and said to Huang Ying, “Help yourself, call Chunlai and the others to come eat as well. It’s such a hot day, it’ll be nice to cool down.”

Huang Ying wasn’t one to indulge in food, but seeing the Third Young Master’s reaction, she couldn’t help but want to taste it.

She immediately called Chunlai and the others over.

As soon as these servant girls heard that the Princess Consort had finished cooking, they rushed right in.

They had a different relationship with Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi had never tried the dishes made by the Princess Consort, but during their time at the Prince of Yu’s mansion, these girls had been lucky enough to have them several times.

Whether it was rice or other dishes, they were all deliciously irresistible.

And today, it was dessert, which was even more tempting.

In such hot weather, who wouldn’t want to enjoy something cold, sweet, and refreshing?

The servant girls lined up, each taking a bowl, squatting at the kitchen doorway forming a row, eating with glee.

The kitchen staff were left speechless at the sight.

These young maids who usually serve in the backend, often acting as half-mistresses, didn’t usually stoop down to coming to such places as kitchens.

But here they were today, squatting by the door and eating.

Could it be that the food made by Seventh Miss was that good?

Jiang Yi gobbled up three bowls in one go, heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Seventh Sister, the food you made is incredibly delicious! I’ve never tasted anything like it in my lifetime.”

Jiang Ning, nibbling on her taro balls, smiled and said, “It’s nothing, quite ordinary.”

She wasn’t being modest.

The dishes she made, including these desserts, were all quite common and simple.

They were not considered extraordinary culinary skills in modern times.

However, anyone who tasted her cooking here couldn’t help but be amazed.

Jiang Ning could only sigh that food in ancient times was too monotonous, too bland.

Especially in the Great Sheng Dynasty, where the food mainly consisted of stews.

No matter what ingredients, they were always served stewed.

There weren’t many seasonings used either, other than fumes, not much else was common.

It’s understandable if the poor couldn’t afford this, but families like the Prince of Yu’s mansion and the Jiang family, although not poverty-stricken, also didn’t have much variety in their dishes.

In short, the culinary culture here was too backward, so that even simple dishes she made could mesmerize everyone.

At first, Jiang Ning couldn’t understand their exaggerated reactions, but now, she could calmly watch their astonishment.

The feeling was not bad.

Jiang Yi pushed Jiang Ning out of the kitchen and back to the Purple Forest Garden, saying, “Seventh Sister, I have a proposal for you.”

“What is it?”

“Let’s open a restaurant together?”

“Huh?”

“You know how to make a lot of delicious dishes, right?” Jiang Yi’s eyes lit up, “This could make us a lot of money.”

Jiang Ning said, “You should focus on your studies and aim for an official post, why think about these things?”

“Becoming an official is a must, but it doesn’t hinder us from doing business.” Jiang Yi laughed, “Besides, how many salaries can you get from being an official? I can’t be a corrupt official. If one wants to be a clean official, there’s no money. How are you going to support you and my nephew then?”

Jiang Ning laughed, “I don’t have the energy to fuss over this, I don’t want it.”

Making something on a whim to eat for herself and the people around her was enjoyment.

But if it became a business, and she would have to cook from morning till night, that would be too tiring.

She didn’t want that.

Jiang Yi laughed, “Could I let you get tired? Rest assured, I’ll take care of everything, you just need to show off a little, teaching your signature dishes to the chefs.”

“I don’t have to work in the kitchen?”

“Of course not. How could my sister be a cook for outsiders.”

“If that’s the case, then alright.”

“Deal”

Jiang Yi was very happy.

As the siblings were discussing their money-making plan and reveling in anticipation, they saw Jiang Yuan running in tearfully, grabbing onto Jiang Yi and bursting into tears..
