Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 985: Chapter 985 Contagion_1 Chapter 985: Chapter 985 Contagion_1 “I feel that Qiao Xiaomai’s skills are still the better,” Yang Hao said.

“Really?” Yang Zheng’s eyes widened, his face incredulous, “We should invite this Qiao Xiaomai to the Capital City and have her compete with the people from the Imperial Kitchen.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Hao couldn’t help but laugh again, “They will come to the Capital to take examinations next spring; we can have the competition then.”

He thought back to the two cooking contests Qiao Xiaomai had held at Bailu Academy before. However, one of them involved Yang Wang, so it was best not to bring up Yang Wang at this time and dampen the mood.

“Yes, yes, father, you must tell Qiao Xiaomai to be careful! The food made by the people from the Imperial Kitchen is really, really delicious!”

Yang Zheng emphasized the word “really.”

Yang Hao couldn’t resist and pinched his cheek affectionately, “Don’t worry, I’ll mention it to her.”

Seeing this, Feng Huihui couldn’t help but speak up, “I wasn’t craving, but after listening to Your Highness, I can’t wait to taste Qiao Xiaomai’s cooking.”

The only thing made by Qiao Xiaomai that could be sent to distant places were the Dried Sweet Potatoes.

But even though she had sent some hot pot soup base a few times, and it was expedited, it still didn’t compare with just-cooked meals. Though good, it wasn’t stunning like the food from the Imperial Kitchen.

Now that Yang Wenxiao was staying in Bailu Town and didn’t want to come back, and Yang Hao kept praising it, Feng Huihui felt the craving worm in her stomach had already been hooked.

Emperor Yongan and Yao Xian also deeply shared this sentiment, with Yao Xian sighing, “I really want to have her brought over right now.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Hao couldn’t help but laugh, “Mother, have you been influenced by the two food enthusiasts at home?”

“Yes, I’ve been influenced. I’ve started to indulge in this culinary desire these days,” Yao Xian nodded, “You ask your father; even his appetite has increased compared to before.”

Emperor Yongan, upon hearing this, coughed lightly and uncomfortably, “Having lived more than half a lifetime, I suddenly found that if the food is prepared well, tasting it can be quite delightful.”

Yang Hao couldn’t help but be surprised. Had his father also started caring about gourmet food?

Had his whole family turned into food enthusiasts?

He shook his head slightly, though surprised, it was not a big deal. He hadn’t been much of a foodie himself, but after visiting Qiao Xiaomai’s manor, he felt as though he had opened a new window. The world of gourmet food was indeed wonderful.

With this in mind, he said with a smile, “Indeed, food should not only fill the stomach when brought to the dining table, but it should also give pleasure to those who taste it.”

“We must write to Yeye about this; our whole family has become like him now.”

As he spoke, everyone present laughed.

In the past, they didn’t quite understand Yang Ye’s fondness for good food, but now they understood. If the food was well made, it certainly was a new world.

The family chatted idly about this for a while, then Yang Hao brought up the matter of paper cards and sleds.

Emperor Yongan said, “I reckon that after the gold bar craze fades, Ji Wei Ju will then release the paper cards, which definitely won’t make a fortune.”

Paper cards, after all, were made of paper, and even if they bore the Ji Wei Ju label, they couldn’t sell for a sky-high price.

However, they could sell in volume at a small profit; with the example of Mahjong in mind, the nobles would not want to use counterfeits.

“As for sleds, we’ll probably have to wait for the next snowfall to see them.”

Without snowfall, no one would buy sleds even if they were displayed. They need to see the results.
