The Second Sister of a Farmer's Family's Path to Imperial Destiny

"This soup is delicious. It's so fresh and sweet. This is the first time I've seen it."

"Hiss... this chicken is a little spicy... but so... tasty"

The man ate the food elegantly and kept praising the food.

Wen Yan, who was serving the food, saw that the man once again did not make any harsh comments about the food. She couldn't help but admire the new girl. She was the first one who cooked the food so well for her master's taste.

He really liked this girl and hoped that she would stay here longer so that he wouldn't have to listen to his master's nagging.

Seeing that the man had finished his meal and was about to have dessert, she hurriedly brought him a cup of strong tea for him to rinse his mouth while savoring the dessert.

Gently lift the lid of the bowl, and you will see the green-pink porcelain bowl filled with milky white tofu-like milk. In contrast, it looks like a rare work of art.

Use a small spoon to scoop up a spoonful of milk. The taste is delicate and smooth, with the flavor of milk and ginger perfectly blended. It is sweet and spicy, but not like the spiciness of Evodia rutaecarpa, but the spiciness of ginger itself.

The man's eyes widened in disbelief. He had been raised on a diet of delicacies since he was a child, and this was the first time he had such an amazing experience. If this were in the palace, it would probably be a delicacy that everyone would fight for.

He finished eating quickly and said, "Call Miss Guo."

His mother's birthday is just around the corner, and he will return to the palace to celebrate her birthday soon. He has not found a suitable birthday gift yet. If he gives this girl's various cooking recipes as birthday gifts to his mother, it would be best if he could let this girl come back to the palace to cook. This way the taste will be excellent, and his mother will be very happy.

Guo Xin followed Wen Yan's steps and walked over slowly, complaining in her heart that she was going to meet that young master who released his oppression invisibly again. Although she knew that as a cook, it was inevitable for her to be summoned by her master, she still didn't want to go to see him.

After all, a man is innocent until he is in possession of a treasure. Although I don't have any wealth, my cooking skills are a crime. As long as the big shot opens his mouth, I will go wherever he wants.

Although she could make the meal a little unpalatable, she was a person with professional ethics. She worked two days a day in a ten-day period and received a high salary of twenty taels. She also paid for her younger brother's tuition, so she could only work diligently and do her best.

"Miss, please come in~" Wen Yan stood in front of the door.

Guo Xin, who had been monologueing in his heart, put his thoughts aside and walked into the house.

"I wonder what the master wants to see my daughter about?" Guo Xin asked, lowering her eyes and looking at the floor.

"Just call me Young Master from now on."

The man frowned when he heard the word "master". In his opinion, Guo Xin was not his slave, so he only needed to call him Master. He then asked, "Did you make this dessert?"

"That's right, it's called ginger milk."

"Can you tell me the recipe? My mother likes sweets very much, but she doesn't like greasy sweets. The taste of yours is very novel." In the man's opinion, since he had hired Guo Xin, the recipe could be considered as something he bought himself.

Guo Xin sighed when he heard this. Sure enough, he wanted the recipe again. Fortunately, he didn't plan to sell it, so he just gave it to him. He said, "I'll write down the recipe right away. However, if there is any mistake in this dessert, it will fail. Sir, you need to tell your subordinates to be more careful."

The man saw that Guo Xin had just given him a chance to say something, so he said, "Then I wonder if you can come back to the capital with me. My mother is from the capital, and it will be her birthday soon. It would be great if the food was made by you personally."

"This..." Guo Xin looked at the man with some embarrassment. It was not easy to refuse the request of the "financial sponsor", but she also did not want to attract too much attention. It was obvious that this young man was either rich or noble.

If you become famous for your cooking skills, but you don’t have the ability to protect yourself, then being famous is not a good thing.

Seeing that Guo Xin was in a dilemma, the man did not force her and said, "Then please write down the recipe, miss. Can you also write down the recipes for future dishes?"

Considering that Guo Xin made her living by cooking, he added, "Don't worry, young lady. I won't use this recipe to make a living. I just want my family to try it."

Guo Xin agreed, wrote down the prescription, and left.

……

I heard that the night in Suining City is as brightly lit as the day, there is no curfew, and the city is crowded with cars and horses, making it impossible to stop.

This was the first time Guo Xin had lived in a city since he came to this world, and it was a relatively prosperous provincial capital. He wondered what the night scene was like in the Great Xia Dynasty. Would it be the same as the pedestrian street in his previous life?

With a yearning for the night market in mind, Guo Xin quickened his pace to leave the house.

After leaving the house, we walked along two long streets and finally arrived at the downtown area.

Lanterns were hung high on both sides of the street, and the hawkers' cries were heard one after another. Guo Xin walked aimlessly in the night market. She missed Guo Ruo and the others a little.

However, she did not forget that in addition to experiencing the night market, she also wanted to see if this place was suitable for opening a shop. The small stalls in the small town would probably not make much money by next year, so she would have to slowly expand into the city.

Looking at the various stalls selling badgers, wild foxes, jerky, chicken skin, kidneys, and minced chicken, each selling for no more than fifteen cents, she found that there seemed to be no stall that she could set up.

Then she could only open a small shop and sell dishes that are hard to find nowadays, such as barbecue and hot pot, but to open these, she needed a big store, and she couldn't afford that much money.

After thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with any solution, so he returned home feeling depressed.

It was just night, and there were many paths, so Guo Xin accidentally took a wrong path.

"Your Highness, Concubine Jing'an wrote to ask when you will return to Beijing?" A dark shadow stood at the end of the corridor.

"She will be back before her birthday." A familiar voice sounded. It was the voice of that young master, but he could not be seen.

I only heard the young master ask again: "What is the current situation in the capital?"

"Everything is fine, but there is one very interesting thing. I heard that the General of the Cavalry seemed to have found his second son. He said that he passed the examination and became a scholar in Suining City. However, when he took him back to check the token, he found something wrong. He got very angry and went to Your Majesty to cry and complain."

The young master sighed and said, "I heard that it was a critical moment that year. If the general had not volunteered to defend our territory, there would be no Great Xia Dynasty today. Therefore, my father has always felt guilty towards the general."

Guo Xin didn't dare to move, and tried to breathe as quietly as possible for fear of attracting attention.

She didn't expect that taking the wrong road that night would lead her to discover a secret that she shouldn't know.

Although I always knew that this young man was of noble character and must be a high-ranking official, I never expected that he was not only a prince, but his mother was also a famous concubine.

But this prince really doesn't act like a prince. Why doesn't he fight for the supreme power, but run to this remote place to live the carefree life of a god?
