Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 638: The Secret of Wushuang Building

Chapter 638: Chapter 638: The Secret of Wushuang Building

Feng Bailing folded her body and walked out, and when she came back, she carried a pot of porridge, a pot of freshly boiled fish slice porridge.

The fragrant and glutinous rice, each slice of fish was tender and delicious, topped with bright green cilantro, Dugu Wu felt his appetite suddenly open up, and he finished the pot of fish slice porridge in one breath.

"What’s with your culinary skills?"

After one pot of porridge, even someone as picky as Dugu Wu couldn’t stop praising the porridge Feng Bailing had cooked. No wonder the Empress Dowager and Noble Consort Guo, even Dongfang Jin preferred the porridge that Feng Bailing made. He originally thought that the Empress Dowager and Noble Consort Guo were biased toward Feng Baili, but now it seems that he had underestimated Feng Bailing.

Feng Bailing sat down in front of Dugu Wu and said with a smile.

"You probably won’t believe it if I tell you, but all thanks to the Fire Holy Seal."

Feng Bailing knew exactly how good her own culinary skills were. In the 22nd century, she indeed had tasted many delicacies, but that was limited to tasting. However, after returning to this life, because she had two children, she became more focused on food.

But culinary skills aren’t something that can be mastered overnight. Previously, she was more concerned with the freshness of the ingredients and their nutritional combination, until she acquired the Fire Holy Seal.

After receiving the Fire Holy Seal from Mr. Nan Chen, Feng Bailing was worried that she wouldn’t be able to control the Fire Holy Seal, especially since even Mr. Nan Chen hadn’t been able to completely master it for many years.

Unexpectedly, thanks to Dugu Wu’s Emperor’s aura and her own two Holy Seals within her body, Feng Bailing mastered the Fire Holy Seal quite quickly after receiving it.

This Fire Holy Seal was indeed a treasure, not only could it be used to smelt Heavenly Iron and Chromium Metal, but it also had another great benefit, which was to greatly improve culinary skills.

The so-called culinary skills, besides the control of ingredients and flavoring, lie in the mastery of heat. Ordinary chefs need decades, or even a lifetime, to truly understand this control.

But Feng Bailing was different. With the Fire Holy Seal in hand, she could control the heat to the greatest extent.

The sand pot porridge, whether it’s the rice or the fish slices inside, was cooked just right, and anyone tasting it would find its flavor excellent.

"There’s another thing I want to ask you about."

One pot of porridge resolved the conjugal conflict between Dugu Wu and Feng Bailing. Dugu Wu seemed to have forgotten last night’s incident, and Feng Bailing was secretly relieved.

With two children around, she really didn’t want to continue this "cold violence" with their father in the days to come.

"You’re talking about Noble Consort Dugu."

Dugu Wu put down his cutlery and rinsed his mouth with tea.

"Does Noble Consort Dugu really look exactly like your mother?"

Feng Bailing hadn’t had the chance to talk much with Dugu Wu today, but she noticed that Dugu Wu seemed a little distracted at tonight’s feast.

Dugu Wu was a very calm person; Feng Bailing had almost never seen him so out of sorts before, Noble Consort Dugu’s appearance had a huge impact on him.

"Very similar."

Dugu Wu simply said two words.

As for Lady Dugu, he did not want to mention her in front of others. Feng Bailing’s appearance had already made him gradually forget the past. However, Noble Consort Dugu had appeared at this time.

Not only that, but Noble Princess Consort Gu had also gained the favor of Emperor Yongye.

"Could there be some kind of plot behind this?"

Feng Bailing was most worried about this very point.

The appearance of Noble Consort Dugu was too coincidental; Empress Xiao had just passed away not long ago, leaving the position of the Empress vacant when Noble Consort Dugu entered the palace during the Four Nations Tournament.

"I’ve already sent people to investigate her background, we’ll have news soon."

Dugu Wu said in a deep voice.

He wasn’t very concerned about Emperor Yongye’s affairs; as long as Noble Consort Dugu did not provoke him, he did not plan to pay any attention to her.

Feng Bailing thought about it and decided not to tell Dugu Wu about the situation at the Wushuang Building. After all, Zuixian Inn was nominally Ouyang Chenchen’s property, and it wasn’t appropriate to involve Dugu Wu at this time.

Feng Bailing planned to visit the Zuixian Inn early the next morning.

That night, Dugu Wu still slept in the study, and although the couple did not clash as they had the night before, there was no way to return to the way things were at the start. Feng Bailing had rejected Dugu Wu’s request to be a true husband and wife, which for Dugu Wu, always remained a thorn in his heart.

He had come to accept that Feng Bailing had someone she truly loved, the biological father of Feng Xiaoli.

The next morning, Feng Bailing went to the Zuixian Inn first. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

After spending the entire morning at the Zuixian Inn, Feng Bailing realized that the business situation was much worse than she had imagined, just as Princess Mingxia had said. The emergence of Wushuang Building had a significant impact on the Zuixian Inn.

Regular and new customers at Zuixian Inn were constantly draining away. Wushuang Building not only provided delicious food but also offered a unique wine.

For this reason, Feng Bailing specially ordered the manager to buy a jug of wine and several dishes from Wushuang Building to bring back.

"Princess Consort Wu, these are Wushuang Building’s signature dishes, rouge chicken and sweet and sour crispy fish, and this is their Bai Xiang Wine."

At noon, the manager brought back the dishes and wine from Zuixian Inn; as soon as the wine jug was opened, Feng Bailing smelled the rich fruit aroma.

"This wine?"

Feng Bailing raised her eyebrows slightly; the fragrance of this wine was nearly identical to the Monkey Wine she had obtained at Dacang Mountain.

No wonder the wine business at Zuixian Inn had declined. Although Wushuang Building didn’t have beer, wine comparable to Monkey Wine was enough to attract a lot of people. Zuixian Inn’s main sales were still beer-based.

Beer was more popular in the summer, but in spring, autumn, and winter, sales lagged a bit. Not only that, but Feng Bailing also tasted Wushuang Building’s sweet and sour crispy fish and rouge chicken.

Rouge chicken, with its bright red color and a flavor somewhat similar to chili chicken, was made with a secret blend of spicy chilies, impressing Feng Bailing with its taste.

Whether it was the spice or the seasoning, the flavor could even compete with that made from modern condiments.

The ingredients used by Zuixian Inn were of a higher quality, but in terms of seasoning, Feng Bailing only added soy sauce without using too many modern seasonings, so the taste was somewhat inferior to that of Wushuang Building.

That a chef of Wushuang Building could reach a level akin to modern chefs was no wonder why their business in Chu City was so thriving.

"Princess Consort Wu, when I was buying wine and food at Wushuang Building, I encountered Dr. Lu and Miss Hong Xuan and others; they were also dining and drinking there, and they used to be regulars here."

After saying this, the manager couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh.

"These two, really turning their backs on us. Go and invite them over, tell them I want to treat them to a drink, say I have a newly brewed fine wine."

Hearing this, Feng Bailing didn’t get angry; she simply instructed the manager to invite Dr. Lu and company over.
