First floor, the grand kitchen.
The nourishing soup was still simmering slowly, and the lamb shanks had just been placed into the oven when the servants saw Wang Jinhui approaching briskly, stirring curiosity in their hearts.
Was another competition about to start?
Yesterday, Lady Tang was truly impressive, guessing everything correctly, so the money in the red envelopes must have been substantial!
Strange, why hadn't the master come?
Lucky my dishes hadn't started cooking yet.
Immediately, the servants stepped aside, yielding the stove and workbench to Wang Jinhui.
Here, all sorts of vegetables, meats, and seasonings were available. Wang Jinhui looked around and quickly pinpointed the ingredients he needed.
He skillfully cut the chicken and beef into moderately sized pieces, followed by ginger, scallions, and other condiments. Then, he took out two good-quality pork bellies from the refrigerator, preparing them for later use.
