After eavesdropping on my thoughts, the food lovers all over the country were shocked

Chapter 473: A broader taste

The three of them chatted about business for a while and then continued to eat the dumplings.

Princess Lejia scooped up another ham dumpling with a spoon, put it into her mouth, and began to chew it carefully.

While eating, she suddenly sighed.

Shen Huazheng couldn't help but ask: "Aning, what's wrong with you?"

Why did you suddenly sigh out of nowhere?

Zhou Ying also found it a little strange. Aning was clearly eating happily just now and didn't seem to be worried about anything.

She suddenly thought of something and her heart tightened.

Could it be that Aning is unhappy again because of her unreliable father and brother? ?

Did they write to her?

Or did Aning get some news from somewhere and that’s why she’s in a bad mood?

Princess Lejia swallowed the glutinous rice balls in her mouth and said, "Nothing. I was just eating the glutinous rice balls and suddenly felt that I was too self-righteous before."

Shen Huazheng & Zhou Ying: (⊙o⊙)?

What does glutinous rice balls have to do with self-righteousness?

Princess Lejia knew that they were both confused by her, so she explained: "I always thought that I had seen and tasted enough things before, but now it seems that my vision is still too narrow."

She paused and continued, "I used to think that food was either salty or sweet. After I met Zheng Zheng, I realized that in addition to salty and sweet, you can also combine the two and make food salty and sweet. There are even sour and spicy, and sweet and spicy..."

Princess Lejia was born into a noble family and had been favored by the emperor since childhood. She was also loved by Princess Yi'an and Marquis Wenxin and his wife.

The food and things we use are always the best.

She once thought that what she liked to eat, or the taste of her daily food, was authentic.

Although I won't criticize people who have alternative tastes, I still regard them as heretics in my heart.

Thinking about it now, I feel really ashamed.

After getting to know Zheng Zheng, she tried all kinds of new and exotic foods and experienced different flavors.

She also understood that everything that happened in the past was just the prejudice in her heart.

If you want to know real food, you need not only curiosity but also tolerance.

The stagnation of taste buds is the stagnation of the soul.

Now, it seems that she has seen a lot of the "market" with Zheng Zheng, but in fact, she has only seen a corner of the delicious food.

Just like this ham dumpling, although I have tasted it before, it is a salty and sweet food.

I have also eaten salty dumplings.

But she never imagined that ham and osmanthus could be made into a delicious and sweet filling for glutinous rice balls.

Tea soup can also be used as the soup base for glutinous rice balls.

Moreover, the combination of these different flavors does not make people feel inconsistent at all, but instead creates an incredibly wonderful taste.

Shen Huazheng didn't expect that Princess Lejia sighed because of this, and couldn't help but laugh.

"So it's for this, what's the big deal? How can you be so narrow-minded?"

In Shen Huazheng's view, the exploration of food is a never-ending journey.

No matter where she goes, she will subconsciously search for local delicacies.

Just like what Mr. Wang Zengqi said - "A person's taste should be broader and more diverse. Try the sweet in the south, the salty in the north, the spicy in the east, and the sour in the west."

It is normal to try everything.

Zhou Ying also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she had overthought it.

Aning was not unhappy, nor did she sigh for the Jiang father and son.

But it's true. After Aning severed ties with Jiang Jinrong and his son, she no longer considered them as her own relatives.

How could I be unhappy for them?

Princess Lejia couldn't help but smile when she saw that Shen Huazheng and Zhou Ying both looked relieved.

In fact, she just felt that her mind was not broad enough and sighed.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Zheng and A Ying both misunderstood.

Princess Lejia: "Thinking about it carefully, it seems that there are many foods that are similar to glutinous rice balls. They can be sweet or salty, and can even be filled with fillings of different flavors. For example, moon cakes, fried dumplings, and thin crumbs..."

Shen Huazheng nodded: "Zongzi is fine too."

"Zongzi??"

“Can zongzi have different kinds of flavors?”

Princess Lejia and Zhou Ying spoke at the same time.

The rice dumplings they had eaten before were usually filled with red dates or red bean paste, and they had never eaten rice dumplings with other flavors.

Shen Huazheng: "Of course you can. Zongzi can be made not only into sweet zongzi but also alkaline zongzi. There are also salty meat zongzi and seafood zongzi. There are also salty and sweet zongzi."

[There are so many flavors of zongzi, and there are many kinds of salty zongzi. There are meat zongzi, seafood zongzi, steamed zongzi, reed zongzi, prince consort zongzi, Leizhou big zongzi...]

In her previous world, every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, there would always be a dispute between the north and the south over whether the rice dumplings should be sweet or salty.

Some people think that zongzi must be sweet, and those who eat salty zongzi are weird.

Some people also think that zongzi must be salty, and those who eat sweet zongzi are heretics.

Shen Huazheng eats both sweet and salty rice dumplings. If she has to rank them, she prefers the fresh meat rice dumplings with dried shrimp and scallops.

In addition to meat dumplings, Shen Huazheng’s favorite is the double-mixed dumplings.

Because double-mixed zongzi has two flavors in one zongzi, both sweet and salty.

Princess Lejia's eyes widened: "There are so many flavors of zongzi, even salty and sweet ones!!"

Oh my God, she couldn’t even count all the flavors that Zheng Zheng mentioned with both hands.

Zhou Ying was also secretly amazed. The flavors that Zheng'er described were truly unheard of.

If we make all these zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival, can we eat them all? ?

Shen Huazheng nodded with a smile: "You will know when the Dragon Boat Festival comes."

Thinking of the different flavors of rice dumplings that Shen Huazheng mentioned, Princess Lejia suddenly became excited.

How to do?

Now that spring has just begun, she is already looking forward to the Dragon Boat Festival.

When the time comes, she will definitely try all the rice dumplings that Zheng Zheng mentioned.
