”Hmm ~ What did you do in the pot? ”It smells so good.”

Without waiting for Su Zhi to refuse, the man pushed open the door and walked around her in big strides.

Bi Yue was rummaging through the contents of the pot, and she was quite surprised when she saw him enter.

”Wow, what is this thing? It smells so good.”

Su Zhi felt very helpless. ”Your Highness, don't tell me that you don't know how to cook?”

Lu Huan Zhi pretended not to know as he picked up a piece of meat from the pot and put it in his mouth. Satisfied, he nodded his head, ”It's delicious and delicious.”

Because they were having a feast tomorrow, Su Zhi had made a special flavor. Not only that, there were also a lot of other cooked foods that could be served at any time on the stove. Lu Huan Zhi seemed to have seen a treasure. He took his chopsticks and greeted them one by one, praising Su Zhi's culinary skills as he ate.

Bi Yue looked on dumbfoundedly from the side. Indeed, Prince Yongning's residence didn't care about food. No matter what time it was, the crown prince would always act as if he was escaping from the wasteland.

”Poor...” ”It's about time, we're done eating.”

Su Zhi really hadn't thought that a man who didn't seem to have much appetite could hold a pig's elbow and gnaw so happily. Looking at the half of the food on the stove being swept away, she had the urge to rush up and beat him up.

”Stingy, it's not like I ate too much. People like us who are cultured only get seventy percent full.”

Seventy percent full …

Su Zhi felt that she was about to cry.

Lu Huan Zhi finished gnawing on his elbow and burped in satisfaction. He took out a silver ingot from his bosom and said, ”Ah, this should be enough.” In the end, he even took a piece of beef stewed in brine from the plate.

”But if I were to tell you, you would definitely be in a good position if you were to open a restaurant.”

He winked at Su Zhi and clicked his tongue. ”Look at you, what are you doing with that black face of yours?”

Su Zhi heaved a sigh of relief, ”Your Highness has had your fill. It's time to leave.”

”Who says that I have eaten my fill and that you still owe me the New Year's Eve meal? Do you want to send me away with all this?”

Su Zhi was speechless.

Did anyone tell her how the man's logic came to be and why did she feel like she was treating him to a New Year's Eve meal instead? Why!

”Whatever, since you're busy, I'll come back in a few days.”

Before Su Zhi's face completely darkened, Lu Huan Zhi tactfully patted her butt and left, ”Oh, right. That elbow was so sweet that it was thrown away.”

He raised his hand and joined his index finger and thumb together, seriously gesturing with it.

A good day had come to an end.

Bi Yue looked at the mess in front of her and was extremely speechless. ”Madam, what should we do?”

”Let's make it with other ingredients.” After working for a few hours, it was all for naught.

In order to ensure the variety of dishes at the banquet tomorrow, Su Zhi had no choice but to busy herself once again. She spent the entire afternoon preparing the things she needed to prepare.

When she came out from the neighborhood at night, A Jin suddenly shouted that she was going to the market.

On the first day of the new year, the night market was bustling with noise and excitement. Su Zhi had originally wanted to go in a few days, but after thinking that her children had been cooped up at home for the past few days, and were almost unable to hold them in any longer, she agreed.

It was just past lunchtime when the street started to bustle with activity. Along the long street, there were quite a few peddlers selling small toys. A Jin looked around in novelty, happily grabbing Su Zhi's sleeves, wanting to buy a mask to play with.

”Mom, I want to buy this.”

A Jin picked up a green mask with fangs and started walking around Su Zhi with it.

”Son, what grade is that? This mask is so ugly, why don't you choose a cuter one?”

”But, this Ghost Face General looks very impressive.”

Su Zhi could only take out some crushed silver to buy the mask. In the blink of an eye, the small bean bag disappeared again. She looked around and saw the little kid squatting beside the stall selling pets, reaching out his chubby little hand to grab the rabbit in the cage.

”Little Dou Bao, stop messing around.”

Wherever this child came from, he would pluck his fur. The dog at home was about to be roped bald.

She stepped forward and pulled away the child who was grabbing onto the rabbit's ear and pointed at the lanterns at the side, coaxing, ”Little Dou Bao, do you want to put on the river lanterns?”
