Baby brings his own shopping mall to travel through

When the emperor heard this, he immediately became interested and asked hurriedly: "Then which families will it be given to?"

Obviously, when it comes to delicious food, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager are not willing to miss any opportunity to taste it.

"Mr. Zheng and the others are close to the Yang family." Qi Xingyun said slowly.

The Queen Mother sitting beside her nodded slightly, expressing her agreement: "If you count it this way, there are indeed quite a few people who need to be sent off."

Qi Xingyun continued, "And you, the Queen Mother, also have some in stock. When you want to taste them, just ask them to prepare them. For rare ingredients like abalone and fish maw, except for you, other restaurants only give you one bowl! So, sister-in-law, you must keep this secret to yourself and never let anyone know."

The Queen Mother smiled and replied, "Okay, okay, you can rest assured about this."

Then, Qi Xingyun picked up a taro and began to introduce it to the emperor in detail.

The emperor was originally a little careless, but when he heard Qi Xingyun mention that taro is also a kind of grain and its yield is not inferior to sweet potato, his eyes suddenly lit up and he became energetic.

The emperor waved his hand generously and ordered loudly: "Come here! Quickly take two taro and a cured duck to the imperial kitchen and tell the emperor that I invite him to have lunch with me at noon today."

As soon as he finished speaking, a palace servant immediately took the order and ran hurriedly towards the imperial kitchen to carry out the task assigned by the retired emperor.

The emperor and Qi Xingyun sat leisurely in the courtyard, continuing their leisurely time of tea and chess.

On the other side, the Queen Mother was sitting with several aunts, concentrating on studying the abalone and fish maw in front of them. Qi Xingyun did not introduce the names of these two things to them, so they were confused after studying them for a long time.

The Queen Mother was holding a seemingly mysterious object in her hand and asked in confusion: "I really can't tell what this thing is. Have you ever seen anything similar before?" She cast her gaze towards Aunt Shang beside her, expecting to get an answer from her.

Aunt Shang shook her head and replied softly, "Your Highness, I have never seen anything like this before."

Aunt Ling at the side also echoed, "It is indeed true. Not only can we not see what it is, but even touching it with our hands would make it difficult to tell what it is."

At this time, Qi Xingyun smiled and explained: "Sister-in-law, what you are holding in your hand right now is fish maw, and the one next to it is abalone. Both are seafood."

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but ask curiously, "Seafood? Could it be something from the sea?"

Qi Xingyun nodded and responded, "That's right. And don't you notice that they all have a faint fishy smell?"

After hearing this, the Queen Mother hurriedly brought the fish maw and abalone in her hands close to her nose and sniffed them. As expected, she smelled a faint fishy smell.

Aunt Shang beside her also sniffed it and exclaimed: "Oh, it really is, it does smell fishy!"

Seeing this, Qi Xingyun suggested, "Things are hard to come by, so put these two things in the cellar first. Take them out when you want to eat them, and this way you can extend their shelf life."

Aunt Ling quickly responded, "Okay, I'll remember that and put them in the cellar later."

After saying that, she carefully picked up the fish maw and abalone on the table, preparing to store them properly according to Qi Xingyun's advice.

On the other side, the emperor was sitting in the imperial study, busy dealing with a mountain of memorials. Suddenly, a eunuch came hurriedly and presented a message from the retired emperor, saying that the young uncle had entered the palace and invited the emperor to have lunch together.

After receiving the message, the emperor couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. During this period of time, the court had been busy with various military and national affairs, which almost made him breathless.

Now I finally have an excuse to temporarily put aside those tedious government affairs and relax my body and mind.

Thinking of this, the emperor put down the memorial in his hand that he had not yet finished reviewing without hesitation, stood up and stretched his stiff muscles.

Then, he straightened his clothes and walked briskly towards the Cining Palace where the Empress Dowager lived.

When the emperor arrived at the Cining Palace, he found that the emperor and Qi Xingyun were playing chess intently.

The Queen Mother sat with Aunt Shang, carefully studying what Xiao Cao'er had written about the cooking methods and edible benefits of abalone and fish maw.
