First break up the relationship, then get rich, I can choose any handsome man in the world

“The dish in the middle is…”

"The one in the middle is not a dish, it's a cake."

"cake?"

Ye Shian nodded: "The snacks eaten on birthdays are delicious, which means the birthday person has a sweet life. Madam, you must try it."

"This cake looks very pleasing, but I wonder how it tastes."

Ye Shian stepped forward: "Old Madam, you will know after you try it."

She wisely didn't mention the topic of birthday songs. This was not popular in ancient times. Just eating a cake was enough.

Ye Shian cut the cake into small pieces and distributed them to each person. Only then did she realize that the young lady present was actually the one who bought her bracelet. She subconsciously gave Qin Jingzhi a kind smile.

Then he consciously stepped aside, waited for them to start eating, and then slipped away.

Shen Teng picked up the cake in front of Old Madam Shen and held it in front of her like a treasure: "Grandma, please try this cake and see how it tastes."

Old Madam Shen used a spoon to dip some cream and put it on her lips: "It melts in your mouth, sweet but not greasy, very good, you all try it too."

Hearing Madam Shen say this, others also began to taste the food in front of them. The cream that melted in the mouth and the cool feeling made the eyes of those who had never eaten it light up, especially Qin Jingzhi, who liked it very much.

"You call this a cake?" Shen Jingzhi said calmly.

Ye Shian nodded: "Yes, this is a cake."

"This cake is great." Qin Jingzhi made the decision and asked the maid to learn how to make it later.

Old Madam Shen smiled and waved to Ye Shian: "Little girl, you have done so much for my birthday today. Come sit down and eat together."

After Shen Teng heard what the old lady said, he quickly stood up and pulled Ye Shian over: "Yes, yes, yes, let's sit down and eat together."

Ye Shian was stunned. She had already planned to be a quiet cook today, but who knew she would be invited to sit down and eat.

Before she could react, Shen Teng had already pushed her into the seat next to him.

Since the old lady had spoken, Ye Shian couldn't refuse her and could only sit down.

At this time, Shen Jingzhi stood up, holding a teacup in his hand: "Jingzhi wishes the old lady a long and prosperous life, and a happy family forever."

After saying that, she drank the tea in her hand, and then the little maid beside her came to Qin Jingzhi holding a wooden box.

"This is the scripture that Jingzhi copied for me personally. Please don't mind Jingzhi's ugly handwriting."

Old Madam Shen laughed and said kindly: "Jingzhi is the most thoughtful girl. It's hard for you to copy the scriptures for me by hand. Please sit down quickly."

After visiting Wanning Mansion, Shen Jingzhi always felt that the things there were not worth showing off. He was reluctant to give away the only thing he liked. Then he thought about the Shen family, who must have seen many things. So he chose the most thoughtful way and copied the scriptures by hand.

Shen Teng gave a jade pendant and Shen Zhimu gave a coral.

Seeing everyone present giving gifts, it seemed inappropriate for Ye Shian to just sit there in a daze. She thought about it and it seemed like she had a cinnabar bracelet in her space. The bracelet had lotus-shaped Hetian jade on it. The price was not expensive. She bought it when she was about to travel.

Now is the perfect time to give it to Old Madam Shen.

She shook her hand under her sleeve and took the cinnabar bracelet in her hand: "I am honored to attend Madam Shen's birthday banquet today. Shi'an doesn't have anything to show off, so I will give this cinnabar lotus bracelet to Madam Yu to play with. Please don't dislike it."

"Oh? Did you prepare a gift too, girl?"

Ye Shian's eyebrows curved: "Old lady, please don't despise me."

"Okay, okay, since it's your intention, I'll accept it. Let's all sit down and eat."

The dishes on this table were very much to Mrs. Shen’s taste, making her eat a few more bowls of rice than usual.

Ye Shian originally thought that Madam Shen’s birthday banquet would be packed with guests, but he didn’t expect it to be just a simple meal.

When Shen Teng happily sent Ye Shian out of the house, he also prepared a brocade box for Ye Shian. Ye Shian was curious: "What's in this?"

Shen Teng smiled happily: "Grandma specifically ordered this. You are the biggest contributor to Grandma's happy birthday today."

After getting on the carriage, Ye Shian opened the brocade box, and inside was a whole box of gold leaves.

Ye Shian couldn't help but admire: "Wow, this old lady is really generous, worthy of being the mother of the richest man in Dayuan Country."

If she had known that Mrs. Shen was so generous, she would have made a few more dishes.

Now that she had money, Ye Shian's extravagant habit began to emerge, and she planned to buy a carriage.

If you want it, just buy it. You are not short of money now. The next day, Ye Shian took Ying'er and Cheng Kuan to Wanning Mansion.

It was Ying'er's first time entering Wanning Mansion, and everything she saw was curious. She was only eleven years old, an age when she was curious about everything. Ever since she almost got lost while watching clay figurines, Ye Shi'an asked her to hold his hand.

When we arrived at the shop, Shen Teng's men were already blocking the way.

After telling the servants how to decorate the house, Ye Shian led the three of them to the horse market. They were lucky today, as there was at least more than one horse here.

Ye Shian picked a horse, which was two taels of silver cheaper than the last time he bought it in Huainan City. Including the carriage, the total cost was one hundred and thirty taels of silver.

Ye Shian gritted his teeth and bought it, so that it would be more convenient to travel to Wanning Prefecture.

The most important thing is that she was really tired of riding the ox cart. Although it was better than walking, she wasted too much time on the road.

After buying the carriage, it was getting late, so Ye Shian took a few people to a restaurant for dinner.

"Boss, bring some of your specialty dishes."

Ye Shian is particularly generous when it comes to food, whether it is to others or to himself.

Ye Hai felt the voice sounded familiar, he looked up and saw Ye Shian sitting there, talking and laughing with the people around him.

He panicked and walked away feeling guilty.

Ye Shian waited for a while but no one came. She was a little confused. She just saw the waiter there, how come he disappeared in the blink of an eye?

"Shopkeeper, where are the people? Serve the food."

The shopkeeper came out from the kitchen in a hurry: "I'm here, what do you want to eat, young lady?"

"Give me six of your signature dishes and some wine."

Speaking of drinking, she turned to look at the Cheng Kuan brothers and said, "You guys know how to drink."

They both shook their heads: "No, no, Second Miss, we don't want to drink."

Ye Shian changed his mind and thought, if he doesn't want to drink, then don't drink: "Then give me a few more steamed buns."

The rice of that era tasted very bad. After Ye Shian tried it once, he never wanted to eat it again. But he thought steamed buns were very good.

The shopkeeper agreed with a smile, then turned around and shouted to the kitchen: "Ye Hai, Ye Hai, what are you doing? Didn't you hear someone ordering food in the front hall?"

Ye Hai!

Such a coincidence?

She picked up the tea poured by Ying'er, put it to her lips and took a sip, but in fact she was listening with her ears perked up to try to identify something.

"I'm sorry, boss. I was helping in the kitchen and didn't hear you."

"The kitchen doesn't need you. I asked you to come here so that you can work in the front. Why do you always run to the back? If I do this again, I won't come anymore."

"Yes, yes, boss, I've made note of it."

Without looking back, Ye Shian was 100% sure that this person was Ye Hai from the Ye family. She was also very sure that Ye Hai must have seen her, so he hid.
