Yao Zhi put down her teacup and walked over. She picked up one of the eggs and cracked it open.
They thought it was a raw egg, but after it was cracked, nothing came out, so they thought it was a boiled egg. But after the eggshell was peeled, they realized that the egg was black. It was translucent and bouncy.
"Madam, may I borrow a small knife?"
Xue Ya'er glanced at her maid, and Chun Hua quickly brought over a small fruit knife. Yao Zhi used the knife to cut the egg in half and showed them the creamy, dark green egg yolk.
When everyone saw this, they frowned, thinking that the egg had gone bad. Seeing their reaction, Yao Zhi smiled and said, "Madam, this is a century egg. It's a delicacy made using chicken eggs and secret preservation methods."
After she said this, she cut the century egg into four pieces and ate one. While she ate, Xue Ya'er looked at her with curiosity. Seeing that she was fine, she also picked one up from the tray.
