The unlucky fake daughter was screwed by the rotten system

Seeing him frowning again and again, Qi Yize became more and more curious about the contents of the letter.

"Yu Zhizhi is still standing outside the mansion waiting for your reply! She said that whether you agree or refuse, you must send someone outside to inform her."

Qi Yize blinked, "Can you show me the contents of the letter?"

Zhao Yunjin refused without a second thought: "No!"

"Then can you tell me what she said?"

Seeing him gossiping like this, Zhao Yunjin picked up the teacup, took a sip of hot tea, and then responded slowly:

"To express her apology, she invited me to have lunch at the Fuju Restaurant tomorrow at noon."

"So are you going or not?"

The corners of Zhao Yunjin's lips curled up slightly, "Promise her first, do you think I will go?"

Qi Yize understood.

Yun Jin is planning to give Yu Zhizhi some sweet treat first, and then slap her!

A quarter of an hour passed by unknowingly. Yu Zhizhi was still waiting outside, while Zhao Yunjin returned to the study and read leisurely.

Seeing that he didn't make any move, Qi Yize couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to send someone to the door to inform Yu Zhizhi?"

"No hurry, let her wait another quarter of an hour!"

Qi Yize gave him a thumbs up and said, "That's quite mean of you!"

He understood that his friend wanted to teach Yu Zhizhi a lesson and let her know that she was not easy to bully.

Yu Zhizhi is still too young to fight against Zhao Yunjin.

Yu Zhizhi waited outside the door for half an hour before finally the person sent by the Sixth Prince appeared.

Zhao Yi said to her with a straight face and expressionless face: "The master agreed."

Yu Zhizhi knew clearly that the Sixth Prince was deliberately delaying time to intimidate her.

Judging from the Sixth Prince's usual behavior, he is not the kind of person who would procrastinate or be fussy.

"Go back and tell your master that his work efficiency needs to be improved!" Yu Zhizhi said bluntly.

Zhao Yi glared at her, seeming very dissatisfied with her words, but he didn't dare to get angry.

"you……"

"What do you mean?! I know you don't like me, so I'll just leave."

Yu Zhizhi ran to her brother's side and put all the apricots she had picked up from the ground into her sleeve pockets.

In the past two days, she has made these apricots into apricot preserves. These delicious and healthy preserves are loved by Xiaochen and his parents.

Zhao Yi looked at the bare apricot trees and frowned, "What's going on?"

One of the gate guards told him everything that had just happened.

"She kicked the tree only once, but then she got tired of waiting and kicked it several more times."

After a while, Zhao Yunjin listened to Zhao Yi's report and replied, "No problem!"

The master doesn't intend to pursue her anymore.

At this moment, Zhao Yunjin wanted to see her expression and movements when she kicked the tree trunk, to see if they were as vulgar and funny as Yize said.

I also want to see with my own eyes the look on her face when she complains that her efficiency needs to be improved.

However, he wanted to see her furious look after he broke the appointment tomorrow afternoon.

I guess she will do something even more unexpected.

After Yu Zhizhi brought her brother back to the Yun Mansion, she went to the iron shop again.

I asked the blacksmith to expeditiously customize a copper stove hot pot.

Suddenly, another three taels of silver were gone.

Then, she came to the Yun family's grocery store in Haixi District.

At this time, Fang Lanzhu was checking the accounts in the shop. When Yu Zhizhi saw her, she immediately explained her purpose.

"Girl, take whatever you want."

Yu Zhizhi smiled sweetly, "Thank you, mother!"

The grocery store was small but well-equipped. After Yu Zhizhi walked around inside, she quickly found dried chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, dried shiitake mushrooms... these were the seasonings used to make hot pot base among the many items.

She planned to make the hot pot base first and prepare spicy and non-spicy flavors of hot pot base for the Sixth Prince tomorrow.

Unfortunately, there was no bean paste in ancient times, so Yu Zhizhi had to use a kind of soybean paste sold in the shop as a substitute.

In addition, my mother told me that the spices needed to make hot pot base, such as star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon, and cardamom, can only be bought in pharmacies.

However, there is no substitute for beef tallow, one of the key ingredients in making hot pot base.

Although soybean oil or lard could be used as a substitute, the taste would definitely not be as authentic as butter. In desperation, Yu Zhizhi decided to try her luck at the only place in Dajing City that was allowed by the government to sell beef.

Unexpectedly, she successfully bought a piece of beef fat.

But this piece of beef fat was quite expensive, costing her a full hundred coins.

She also plans to come here tomorrow to buy some fresh beef and fatty beef as side dishes for hot pot.

Beef and fatty beef, these high-end ingredients are enough to represent her full sincerity!

I guarantee that the Sixth Prince will eat so much that he will call her "Auntie" three times.

Forget the drunken words the original owner had said to him before.

After buying these ingredients, when I returned to Yun Mansion, the sun had already set, the sky was tinged with a faint red glow, and night was gradually falling.

After enjoying dinner with her parents and younger brother, Yu Zhizhi couldn't wait to go to the kitchen to start making the hot pot base.

The Yun Mansion has a simple population. Apart from their own family members, the only servants in the house are Uncle He and his family of three.

Aunt He usually cooked the food. But when she saw Yu Zhizhi walk into the kitchen, she was surprised.

After all, she had heard some rumors about Yu Zhizhi. This young lady had lived a life of luxury in the Prime Minister's Mansion for so many years, how could she possibly cook?

Isn't this just nonsense?

Seeing that Yu Zhizhi was holding a heavy basket in each hand, Aunt He hurried forward and took the baskets.

"Miss, if you need any help, just tell me. You don't have to do it yourself."

Yu Zhizhi smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Aunt He, I know what I'm doing. However, I'd still like you to help me clean this piece of beef fat and boil it into butter."

"No problem, miss."

Aunt He nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Next, Yu Zhizhi began to soak the spices and process the dried chilies and dried Sichuan peppercorns.

Only after all the ingredients were prepared did she start to stir-fry the hot pot base.

After heating the butter in the pot and adding the spices, Yu Zhizhi instructed Aunt He, who was in charge of the fire, "Remember to keep the heat low the whole time."

"I see."

Yu Zhizhi stared at the pot intently until the spices were fried until they became dry, hard and crispy, and the flavor of the spices blended with the flavor of the butter, then she began to take out the spices.

You must be patient and not be careless when making hot pot base.

Otherwise, if it is burnt, the taste will be greatly reduced.

At this time, Aunt He smelled a faint fragrance. She couldn't help but sniffed and began to believe that Yu Zhizhi could cook.
