“It seems like I have to give up, or I can only produce fish in the name of Mother God,” Zhou Ying muttered.

“What are you mumbling about?” Gu Chengrui walked over and asked.

Zhou Ying told Gu Wanning about her promise to find fish but that there were no fish in the market.

Gu Chengrui hesitated for a moment. “It’s better not to trouble the Mother Goddess with such a small matter. Otherwise, there will be many such trivial matters in the future.

“I think it’s better to change the seabass to squirrel fish.

“Whether it’s the appearance or the taste, it’s as good as seabass. It definitely won’t lose face.”

“That’s true. I’ll listen to you on that. I’ll buy a squirrel fish and cook it in the palace later for her to try. By the way, why are you here?” Zhou Ying asked.

“Ah, I remember that I bought a set of extraction equipment for drugs. Help me find it. I want to try to extract penicillin.

“Otherwise, we can only do small surgeries. We can’t do any big ones.”

Zhou Ying nodded and quickly found it for him, helping him to put it in his laboratory.

Early the next morning, Zhou Ying brought two squirrel fish and pine nuts into the palace.

“I’m sorry. I’ve searched all the fishmongers, but they have nothing.

“However, I have a dish that can replace the sea fish. It definitely will be as good.”

“You want to make it on the spot?” Gu Wanning pointed at the basket she was carrying.

“Yes. You, the Emperor, and the Grand Empress Dowager can taste it.”

“Alright, then, let’s do it in the small kitchen here. If you need anything, you can look for Eunuch Sun and ask him to get it from the imperial kitchen.”

“Okay. I’ll go and prepare first.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she went to the kitchen.

When the Grand Empress Dowager heard there was good food, she immediately brought her two great-grandkids to visit Zhou Ying, who was busy in the kitchen. “Zhou Ying, why don’t you add on another two new dishes? It’s been boring here.”

“Sure, but what do you want to eat?” Zhou Ying asked.

“I’ll leave it up to you. A total of six dishes would do.”

“No problem, but it will take some time.”

“That’s no problem. What’s the harm in waiting for a change in tastebuds?”

After the Grand Empress Dowager left, Zhou Ying reassessed the kitchen and decided to make pine nuts chicken, fried tofu, steamed eggplants, shredded red potato salad, and squirrel fish.

Once she decided on the menu, she requested that Eunuch Sun take the ingredients for her along with two helpers.

When noon was almost over, the dishes were ready.

Zhou Ying called the kitchen to bring these dishes to the dining table.

When the Grand Empress Dowager saw the squirrel fish, her eyes lit up. “This color, this shape. It looks great!”

“Yes, it is a dish similar to sweet and sour carp.

“To be honest, a great sweet and sour carp dish is worthy of being part of the grand banquet.” Zhou Ying nodded and gave her opinion.

“I guess it was shallow of me to assume only steam seafish is a dish worthy of a banquet.” Gu Wanning quipped in.

“Not really, as seafish were always part of any grand banquet.” Zhou Ying replied.

“We’re just hosting it in the wrong season. Seafish are not ready for harvesting at the moment.” At this point, the Grand Empress Dowager looked at Zhou Ying and said, “You must be tired. Come, take a seat, and let’s eat. The two kids must be hungry, too.”

“Yes, yes. Let’s eat.” The Emperor echoed and picked up some salad for the two kids.

“Give it a try; I’m sure you two will like it..”
