“Gulp.”
Another sound echoed as Lüluo, who was serving Xiao Ming his meal, couldn’t help but drool. This girl had always been a foodie, and the irresistible aroma of the braised chicken was too much for her to resist.
Even in the palace, she had never tasted such a novel dish.
Braised chicken was not a dish found in the Great Yu Empire. In fact, stir-frying had only recently become popular in the empire, so the variety of dishes was still limited. At the very least, his cook had never prepared this dish before.
It was only after Xiao Ming personally instructed him that the cook managed to learn how to make it.
Moreover, the ingredients for braised chicken were readily available here. Green onions, ginger, and garlic were all common in the Great Yu Empire, and soy sauce and vinegar were also not in short supply. The only regret was the absence of chili peppers, but the use of Chinese prickly ash as a substitute for spiciness made up for it to a large extent.
Eating braised chicken around a warm iron pot during the cold winter was undoubtedly a rare pleasure. Xiao Ming picked up a piece of flatbread soaked in the sauce, noticing the longing looks in everyone’s eyes.
“Your Highness, Ding Wanquan is here to see you.”
Just as Xiao Ming was about to taste the flatbread, Ziyuan walked in. As she spoke, she sniffed the air, her eyes immediately drawn to the braised chicken in front of Xiao Ming.
“Ding Wanquan?” Xiao Ming remembered this man vividly. The first transaction in the merchant guild had been conducted through him.
Moreover, he was the wealthiest man in Jinling City. While Xiao Ming wasn’t particularly interested in Ding Wanquan himself, he was always intrigued by the richest individuals.
