Concubine Jin thought for a moment, and with her trust in those delicious dishes from the past, she reached out with her slender jade finger, picked up a melon seed—
From the moment her tongue touched the melon seed, her expression appeared somewhat moved.
She exclaimed in surprise, cracked open the melon seed, and ate the seed kernel.
It's so fragrant and delicious.
Concubine Jin didn't speak, but cracked seven or eight seeds in a row, then called over the palace maids: "Peel a hundred for me."
Two palace maids started working together.
Concubine Jin happily asked Jiang Ning: "These melon seeds taste truly wonderful. I've never had them before."
Jiang Ning smiled: "Your Highness usually eats original flavored melon seeds. Although they're also delicious, they can be a bit monotonous."
"What is this called?"
"These are five-spice melon seeds."
"Five-spice?"
"Yes." Jiang Ning smiled, "It's very simple, yet this is my secret recipe. Would Your Highness like to know it?"
