Chapter 651: Fragrance Overflowing, Don't Fight Over the Food
The Prince said the taste was just alright.
It was far more than just alright.
It was simply a peerless delicacy.
If such a delicacy was only 'alright' in the Prince's mouth.
Then they truly did not know what a peerless delicacy would look like.
It was not that General Zhang Han Han and Wang Li had not seen the world.
It was just that the delicacy before them was truly too delicious.
What great storms and waves had the two not seen?
It was just that the food before them was...
A first in their lives!
The two had not finished eating what was in their mouths.
Yet their hands reached for the potato chips again.
They grabbed a large handful and stuffed it directly into their mouths.
This was the most delicious food they had ever eaten in their lives.
For the time being, they could not care about fighting over food with His Majesty.
If there was to be punishment, let them be full before being punished.
"Slow down, slow down; good things must be savored slowly."
Ying Zheng was anxious; with this grab, two-thirds of the potato chips were gone.
Looking at the few remaining potato chips, he moved the entire plate in front of him.
If he didn't act now, they would be eaten up by those two gluttons in a moment.
Such delicious things, he certainly had to eat his fill at once.
"Crunch, crunch, crunch~~"
"Crunch, crunch, crunch~~"
The Imperial Study was immediately filled with this sound.
Even the guards standing outside the door were subconsciously twitching their noses.
It seemed there was some fragrance that had attracted them.
There were even guards who were swallowing their saliva directly.
It seemed they were also unable to resist being attracted by that fragrance.
Ying Ying Zi Ye watched the eating manners of these three and shook his head with a smile.
This thing was very fragrant and crispy, but there was no need to be this impatient.
"Don't be anxious; you cannot finish that much."
"Come, come, come, drink some tea."
"Be careful not to choke later."
Ying Ying Zi Ye poured a cup of tea for each of them.
These potato chips were dry; if they ate such large mouthfuls, it would be strange if they didn't choke.
The three did not speak and picked up the tea to drink.
Soon, the potato chips before them were swept clean.
They turned their gaze toward the other foods.
"What you just ate is called potato chips."
"These are French fries, these are dried sweet potatoes, these are sweet potato starch noodles, these are sweet potato cakes, and there are..."
Ying Ying Zi Ye pointed at the food on the table and introduced them.
Every time he introduced something, the eyes of the three would stare at it.
"Try them slowly; don't eat so fast."
"No one is fighting you for them!"
"How can you taste the flavor if you eat like a cow chewing on a peony?"
Watching the eager eyes of the three, Ying Ying Zi Ye was quite speechless.
After the three sobered up a bit, they couldn't help but feel somewhat embarrassed.
It was like children fighting over food.
Ying Zheng then sat down.
"You two also sit down; you are not allowed to fight over food."
"Just as Ying Zi Ye said, what flavor can you taste if you eat so fast?"
"Don't fight; take it slowly."
"Otherwise, you two can just watch me eat."
Ying Zheng deliberately put on a stern face.
General Zhang Han Han and Wang Li immediately felt somewhat embarrassed.
If this matter were to spread, it would be a huge loss of face.
Thus, the two also sat down, feeling too embarrassed to be as impatient as they were just now.
"Eat, don't be polite."
Ying Ying Zi Ye saw that the three had stopped moving.
He thought they were too embarrassed to eat because of what he said.
So he picked up a piece of dried sweet potato himself and chewed it slowly.
This thing was very chewy.
It had been dried by him at a high temperature, which was a little different from natural air-drying.
In terms of texture, it was slightly inferior, lacking the sweet crispness of natural sun-drying.
A sweet fragrance of sweet potato filled his mouth.
Ying Ying Zi Ye nodded inwardly.
In this era, there were too few snacks.
Having this dried sweet potato was also quite good; it could satisfy a craving.
Ying Zheng and the others, seeing this, also reached out and took a piece of dried sweet potato.
It was about the thickness and length of an index finger.
They stuffed the whole thing into their mouths.
But the next moment.
The brows of Ying Zheng and the others furrowed simultaneously.
Because this dried sweet potato was not as crisp and refreshing as the potato chips.
These dried sweet potatoes were very chewy.
"This... why is the texture different?"
"Why is it not that crunchy texture?"
"Why is it like chewing on cowhide?"
"The taste is different, and the texture is different; it has a unique flavor in the heart."
The three frowned and commented. ===== CHAPTER 653 =====
