Hua Manman didn't hide anything and answered truthfully,
"I learned from an elder in my family."
Feihua Zhenren couldn't help but ponder. If she learned from a family elder, then it had nothing to do with the Princess Consort.
But the dishes she made tasted exactly the same as the ones the Princess Consort used to make.
Feihua Zhenren couldn't resist asking further.
"Did your family elder ever teach anyone else how to cook?"
Hua Manman had learned to cook from her maternal grandmother. Her grandmother was old by then and constantly busy with household chores. How could she have had the time to take on other apprentices? Besides, her grandmother only treated cooking as a hobby, not a professional pursuit.
So she shook her head and said no.
A kitchen helper finished cleaning the fish, and Hua Manman rolled up her sleeves and went over to prepare it.
Feihua Zhenren's eyes followed her every move.
