Qiao Xiaomai’s tofu skin was expensive and scant, which Shopkeeper Zhou bought and carefully kept, planning to use it at a critical moment.

Knowing that He Zhanggui has been trying to curry favor with Yang Ye through Qiao Xiaomai since this visit to Bailu Town, he naturally didn’t want to stay behind, so he decided to bring up this tofu skin.

However, the name “tofu skin” didn’t sound nice, so he changed it to: Jade Bamboo.

The tofu skin was straight like bamboo.

And it was orange-yellow in color, similar to gold.

However, if it is called Golden Bamboo, it seemed somewhat vulgar, so he named it Jade Bamboo.

This Jade Bamboo not only had a good name but also tasted good. Yang Ye tasted it and couldn’t help praising it, hastily asking about its origin and the method used to make it.

He told the truth, but Yang Ye only made an “Oh,” and didn’t say much.

This puzzled him, but he quickly put it behind his mind. As long as his Zuixian Building didn’t lose momentum in this confrontation, it was all good.

Hearing Yang Ye’s instructions, he quickly turned his gaze to the girl sitting next to him.

The girl was dressed in a white waist-length dress with gold threads embroidered on the edges and a Bai Zhi on the cuff.

She has an oval face, willow leaf eyebrows, a high nose, and her small cherry lips were rosy. Her black hair was casually tied up in a bun, with a white jade hairpin stuck in it.

A delicate red bell was hanging on the jade hairpin, making a clear sound as she moved slightly.

White clothing, Bai Zhi, red bell.

Upon seeing these three items, Shopkeeper Zhou hastily bowed in salute, “Greetings, Princess.”

White Elder prince, along with the Emperor Taishang, built their empire from the ground up, making a great contribution. After the establishment of Daqi, he was conferred as the Loyal King.

This was the only non-biological king in the entire Daqi.

Bai Zhi was the beloved great-granddaughter of the old White prince. At the age of ten, she was bestowed the title of the princess by Emperor Yongan. Over the years, she was given more attention than the unloved princess by Emperor Yongan.

“Enough chit-chat, bring that ‘Jade Bamboo’ over for me to see.” Bai Zhi finally spoke, her voice as crisp as the ringing of the bell on her hair bun.

Shopkeeper Zhou quickly complied and was about to leave, but Bai Zhi stopped him, “You can instruct others to do it, I still have questions for you.”

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhou did as she said.

“I heard from Brother Ye that Bailu Town has a remarkable person? Are all those Cold Jelly Tofus made by her?” Bai Zhi sat upright in her chair, her beautiful eyes moving up and down Shopkeeper Zhou, with an undertone of coldness in them.

Shopkeeper Zhou heard her words, his heart thumped, and he subconsciously looked towards Yang Ye.

The fact that Bai Zhi liked Yang Ye wasn’t a secret. Everyone who should know, knew it; moreover, in order to win Yang Ye’s heart, she, an honorable princess, had even developed excellent cooking skills.

What does she mean by her question now?

“Answer honestly,” Bai Zhi said with a touch of displeasure.

Shopkeeper Zhou quickly replied, “In response to the Princess, whether she is remarkable or not, that this little one doesn’t know; but the Cold Jelly Tofu was indeed made by this girl.”

“Is her cooking skill good?”

“Yes.”

Upon hearing his answer, Bai Zhi raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes moving to Yang Ye.

Yang Ye, one hand on his cheek and another playing idly with the tea cup on the table. Feeling her gaze, he gave she a sideways glance and lazily said, “I already told you that the skills of the little country girl are indeed very good.”

At this, Bai Zhi’s gaze again fell on Shopkeeper Zhou, “Is the girl named Qiao Xiaomai? Go and bring the girl here. I, the princess, want to have a cooking competition with her.”

Upon hearing those words, Yang Ye chuckled lightly, “Is it necessary? To compete with a little country girl.”

“I just want to see the ‘remarkable person’ in Brother Ye’s mouth.” Bai Zhi’s pretty face carried a hint of chill..
