I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1062

After so many years in the palace, it was her first time walking onto the street, with neither a royal palanquin nor guards accompanying her. The bustling crowd around her made her feel a bit nervous, so she tightly held onto Chen Mo's arm, unwilling to let go.

But soon, this sense of nervousness was replaced by curiosity.

A pair of bright almond-shaped eyes scanned the surroundings, filled with novelty.

"Chen Mo, what is this?" the Empress asked, pointing to a steaming street stall.

"This is called '粉粢,' made by steaming glutinous rice and forming it into a ball, then pairing it with meat sauce and vegetables. It's a local specialty snack, not very common in the Capital City," Chen Mo replied.

"Oh." The Empress nodded, involuntarily swallowing at the sweet aroma.

Chen Mo smiled slightly, leading her to the stall and tossing over a piece of broken silver, "Boss, give me a serving of 粢饭."

"Sure thing!"

The vendor, seeing a big customer, beamed brightly, wrapping the rice ball with meat sauce using lotus leaves, "Take your time, sir!"

Chen Mo took it and handed it to the Empress, "Would you like to try it, Your Highness?"

The Empress slightly opened her lips, took a tentative bite, and her eyes instantly lit up, "Mmm, delicious!"

Chen Mo said, "If you like it, have some more…"

The Empress shook her head, "No, the rest is for you."

Chen Mo: "?"

"You don't know, these rice balls are the easiest to gain weight from. I must control my appetite, otherwise, the newly made underwear by the Clothing Bureau won't fit." The Empress showed a troubled face.

Ever since they got together, her figure has become more plump, and now she can't see her toes when looking down…

"Alright then."

Just as Chen Mo finished speaking, he saw her sniff slightly, taking steps forward, attracted by something else.

In the palace, everything the Empress ate had to pass the strict scrutiny of the Internal Affairs Office, with ingredients carefully selected and cooking methods thoroughly refined, far from these coarse, smoky snacks.

Bailu City, being a transportation hub, gathered merchants from all over Jiu Zhou, with a dazzling array of food that overwhelmed one's senses.

"Those little dried fish look pretty good, too. Shall we buy some to taste?"

"Alright."

"Donkey meat can be eaten? Boss, give me one donkey meat pancake."

"Got it."

"What is this little brick?"

"This is '糖贡,' made by putting coconut, peanuts, and malt into a mold, usually sold by the pound."

"Let's try a pound first to see the taste."
