Chapter 1960

This is also the reason why the Eight Great Cuisines were formed in the Central Plains.

The Central Plains is too big; the climate, products, and customs are all different, so naturally, there will be their own specialty dishes.

Zhong Ling was surprised: "Not used to it?"

Mu Wanqing: "In some places, the dishes are sweet."

"Sweet?" Zhong Ling's eyes lit up, "I like eating sugar the most."

In the Song Dynasty, cane sugar developed relatively well, and production had a large increase, but it wasn't something ordinary families could eat. Only during festivals would slightly wealthy families buy a little, which was considered a hard currency for the New Year.

Although Zhong Ling's family was very well-off and lacked nothing.

However, due to the productivity of ancient times, sugar was always in short supply, and demand exceeded supply. Even in a family like hers, it was impossible to gorge on sugar.

Hearing what Mu Wanqing said, she immediately looked forward to it.

"The Central Plains is indeed wealthy; can't I eat sugar until I'm full?"

Zhong Ling fantasized, and before her eyes, it seemed that delicacies made of candy had already appeared.

Mu Wanqing's mouth twitched slightly, very much looking forward to seeing Zhong Ling's reaction to sweet dishes.

She could eat sugar by itself too.

But making it into a dish was different.

A moment later.

Mu Wanqing found an open space, landed, and then led the horse and walked forward.

Zhong Ling followed curiously, looking around.

Going out for the first time, she was curious about everything.

And this was the land of Jiangnan.

Whether it was the accent, the clothing, or the products, everything was different from Dali, which opened her eyes.

"Sister Mu, what is that?"

"That's silverfish!"

Along the way, Zhong Ling turned into a "ten thousand whys," always shouting and calling out.

Mu Wanqing was also tireless, answering carefully.

If it were in the past, Mu Wanqing naturally wouldn't have such a good temper.

However, now that she had escaped the cage and gotten rid of her family, she was happy in her heart, so naturally, she was willing to talk more with Zhong Ling.

Lunchtime.

..... 0

The two went to a restaurant and ordered a big table of dishes.

Mu Wanqing and Qin Hongmian had come to Jiangnan to assassinate Wang Lady many times, so she was very familiar with the flavors of Jiangnan dishes.

Therefore, she only ordered some dishes that suited her own taste.

And Zhong Ling ordered some sweet dishes.

Originally, Zhong Ling was full of expectations, but until the dishes were served and she tasted a mouthful, her whole little face wrinkled.

"This dish, this dish is too strange, right?"

Mu Wanqing chuckled: "This is the local taste; you, a Dali person, certainly won't be used to it. I told you, if you want to eat sugar, just buy some; you wouldn't believe me!"

Zhong Ling was embarrassed: "Perhaps, if I eat a little more, I'll get used to it?"

As she spoke, she picked up the dishes and started eating again.

Mu Wanqing didn't stop her, eating her own meal until Zhong Ling slumped on the table, sighing: "Sister Mu, I can't do it anymore!"

"Alright, don't force yourself." Mu Wanqing shook her head, "If you can't finish it, don't eat it."

"Mm."

Zhong Ling nodded, and that was that. She tasted the dishes Mu Wanqing had ordered, and after eating a few mouthfuls, she finally came back to life.

"Jiangnan's products are very rich; if it weren't for that kind of dish, it would be really delicious!"

Mu Wanqing laughed: "It's just that you don't like it; the locals love it. Just like if you took Dali dishes to Jiangnan, they wouldn't like them either."

Zhong Ling nodded.

Under Mu Wanqing's explanation, she also understood the vastness of the Central Plains' Nine Provinces and understood that people's tastes were all different, and she could only exclaim at the magic of it, having gained knowledge on this trip to Jiangnan. ===== CHAPTER 1961 =====
