Oin Zhenzhen continued, “You can also Dlace some of this Dowder in a sachet and carry it with you. The fragrance will last for two months.”
“If stored in a sealed porcelain bottle, it can remain fresh for three to five years.”
“If Your Majesty harbors any doubts regarding this fragrance powder, I can write down the formula later and have the imperial physicians examine it.”
“This powder is beneficial to people.”
The Emperor decided, “I will accept it as well.”
Even the scent had been manipulated? That woman from the Jiang family was truly treacherous!

He believed that if the food she prepared genuinely possessed a unique taste, he would find a way to retain her.
Qin Zhenzhen secretly cursed the Emperor and his ancestors while maintaining her respectful facade.
“Your Majesty, my culinary skills are, in reality, quite ordinary. The acclaim surrounding my cooking is primarily attributed to the seasonings I create.” As she spoke, Qin Zhenzhen extracted a small porcelain bottle.
“Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, I actually added a trace of Immortal Pill to the seasonings I create to enhance the freshness of the dishes.”
“While I only incorporate a minute amount of Immortal Pill into the seasonings I sell, the effects are truly remarkable.”
The Emperor and the Empress Dowager exchanged a glance, taken aback by the mention of another “Immortal Pill.”
Qin Zhenzhen found the situation amusing.
To maintain her ruse, she was compelled to fabricate a miraculous substance like Immortal Pill.
She continued to describe the effects of the “Immortal Pill” as if they were the effects of her spirit water, skillfully weaving the deception.
In any case, the “Immortal Pill” she presented had been specially crafted and modified by her, ensuring that its true nature remained concealed.
Qin Zhenzhen pressed on with her explanation.
“I will combine the remaining third of the ‘Immortal Pill’ with other ingredients, grinding it into a powder. This main ingredient amounts to about two catties.”
“Do not underestimate these two catties of seasoning. They can actually yield nearly 10,000 catties of condiments, as just a small portion of the ten catties of seasoning is required.”
The Emperor and the Empress Dowager exchanged glances once more.
A third of an Immortal Pill could produce ten thousand catties of seasoning?
It was crucial to note that her seasonings were sold for twenty wen each.
Qin Zhenzhen elevated the small porcelain bottle she held. “The seasoning within this little bottle is meticulously infused with the main ingredient, resulting in a much more potent effect compared to those available in the market.”

Dowager.”
“Later, I will use this seasoning to cook a meal for both of you, and we can also have the imperial chefs sample it.”
Qin Zhenzhen had already elucidated her points clearly. There was little room for the Emperor to object. Consequently, he resolved to comply with her suggestion, allowing the imperial chefs in the palace kitchen to experiment with her seasoning.
In reality, Qin Zhenzhen’s condiments had already been introduced into the palace kitchen. Before utilizing them, she had the seasonings thoroughly examined by the Imperial Hospital’s physicians to verify their harmlessness.
A sumptuous lunch filled the table.
Some were made by Qin Zhenzhen herself, and some were made by the imperial chefs of the imperial kitchen.
Qin Zhenzhen was not entitled to dine alongside the Emperor and the Empress, so she observed them as they sampled her creations from the sidelines.
The Emperor sampled each dish meticulously. The dishes prepared using Qin Zhenzhen’s seasoning indeed possessed a heightened flavor compared to their previous iterations.
However, upon closer examination, he couldn’t deny that Qin Zhenzhen’s culinary skills fell slightly short of the Imperial Kitchen’s standard..
