My sister became the empress, but I'm still growing vegetables and raising chickens

Si Muyan smiled coldly: "Of course Fu Manlou will not give up so easily!"

Fourth Master Xu always felt that among the three sisters of the Si family, the eldest sister was relatively ordinary, the second sister was extremely beautiful, but always had a dull and boring feeling, while the youngest sister was pretty, smart and lively, and very intelligent.

He likes to associate with intelligent people.

But when he saw Si Muyan today and watched Si Muyan talking to his younger sister, he found that his younger sister was just a little smart, and was definitely not as smart as Si Muyan.

The younger sister nodded and said, "What my eldest sister said to me yesterday was absolutely right. Fortunately, we have a way to deal with it. When we reopen the store the day after tomorrow, we can open the kitchen directly. I don't think Fu Man Lou has the courage to do the same as us."

A large restaurant's kitchen is always crowded with people and things, so it's bound to be messy. Furthermore, Fu Man Lou has been open for so many years, and just thinking about the situation inside is enough to tell you that revamping the open kitchen is not something that can be done overnight.

Moreover, there are so many branches in Fumanlou, and every branch must have a public kitchen. Manager Hu has no say in this matter. Even for the Jin family, he does not have the final say.

Thinking of this, I feel very happy.

Si Muyan saw that Fourth Master Xu had been staring at her younger sister, and after she came in, his eyes kept looking at her from time to time, which made her feel unhappy. However, the Xu family had helped them so much, and Fourth Master Xu was also very enthusiastic, and he even helped her solve the problem of the porridge shop.

She couldn't get angry just because he looked at her a few more times, right?

Moreover, Mr. Xu Si has always been polite, and even when he looked at her, he did not do it blatantly.

After finishing his work, he did not do anything beyond the rules. He just said goodbye to his younger sister and left.

Si Muyan frowned as he watched all this. He pulled his younger sister aside and asked in a low voice, "Does he come here every day?"

"Not every day, but... I come here two out of three days."

"He'll just accompany you to check the accounts every day, and then leave after checking the accounts?"

"Hmm..." The younger sister shuddered and said quickly, "Sister, he occasionally teaches me, but I only keep accounts. I have never shown him our costs or anything like that."

This is because she was afraid that her elder sister would misunderstand and think that she had revealed all the family secrets to others.

Seeing her like this, Si Muyan felt a little relieved. It was not because he was worried that his secret would be revealed, but because he felt that his younger sister still knew what not to do, which meant that she was not in too deep.

She asked, "So, what is your relationship now?"

My younger sister's face flushed red, and she turned away embarrassedly: "It's nothing, it's just that because of the Fu Man Lou incident recently, he happened to be here, so... I asked him about the details of Fu Man Lou, and we became a little closer."

"So what do you think of him?"

"Ah?" The younger sister looked at Si Muyan at a loss.

Si Muyan said sternly, "You're well aware of the Si family's current situation. The Xu family is unattainable for us right now. Of course, I've always felt that these things aren't important. We just need to work hard and we'll always get what we want. Relationships shouldn't be hindered by these things. It's just that from what you said, you have a good relationship, but he hasn't taken that step yet."

The younger sister hesitated: "After all, we have only known each other for half a month..."

Si Muyan nodded. "I'm telling you this so you know what's going on. First, what does he mean? Second, will his family object? If so, how will you deal with it? You have to think these things through clearly, little sister. You're smarter than my second sister, but I'm afraid you'll get lost in your emotions and become just like her, not knowing what you want."

"No." The younger sister said firmly, "Sister, if I didn't know that everyone thought Fang Tongsheng was better, I wouldn't have refused so directly, right? But Fourth Brother Xu is different."

Si Muyan understood this. Fang Tongsheng was with Xiaomei simply because he liked her color; the two couldn't even talk to each other. Xiaomei, however, believed that she and Fourth Master Xu were spiritually compatible.

"As long as you know what's going on."

Sijia Food Shop closed for a day. When it reopened, the exterior remained largely unchanged, but the interior had undergone significant changes. The wall separating the inside and outside had been torn down in half. On the other side, more than half a person's height, lay the kitchen, where prepared ingredients were laid out in portions. On the other side, several cutting boards, tied with ropes, and the handles of the kitchen knives were also tied with ropes. On the ground there lay several large basins, two water vats nearby, and then a small door at the back, beyond which one could see the ditch where dirty water was dumped.

There were two women inside, each one watching over a stove, and the aroma of hot pot base wafted over.

It's so clean and bright in here, it makes people happy just looking at it.

"It turns out that the rumor is not true. The kitchen of Si's restaurant is very clean."

"I told you it wasn't true. I went in and checked that day, and it was still a mess. A lot of things weren't put away, but it was all clean. And it had obviously always been like that, it didn't look like it had been cleaned up intentionally, and you still didn't believe me."

"Why don't we believe it? We do. If we didn't, we wouldn't continue to come and eat here."

"Hey, look at them all wearing strange hats. What's that thing under their mouths?"

The younger sister came over to serve the guests, also dressed in the same outfit. Upon hearing this, she laughed and said, "Well, we at the restaurant don't want our customers to be worried, so we dress the same way. The hats on our heads can cover most of the hair, which can greatly reduce the amount of hair falling into the food. And this kind of brim can also reduce saliva falling into the food when talking."

Everyone looked at their outfits and admired them.

"You really put in a lot of effort. As long as the people doing the work are clean and decent, we're not that picky, right?"

"That's right, it's normal for flies to fly in when we cook at home. Besides, who doesn't have a few rats in the kitchen?"

The younger sister smiled and said, "That's true, but our boss said that since we're in the catering business, we should do our utmost to ensure food hygiene and safety. We choose the freshest ingredients and we also ensure the cleanest possible conditions. In fact, these are the most basic things in the catering business. Taste is secondary, isn't it?"

"Yes! Sanya is right!"

"Your restaurant is cheap, the portions are generous, and you're so sincere. From now on, I'll definitely choose your restaurant when I go out to eat!"

"Yes, I'm alone and don't cook at home, so we always go out to eat. But why don't you have any at night? I have nowhere to eat at night."

The younger sister continued, "We're short on manpower at the moment, so our boss is very careful in selecting the people who will do the work!"

While they were talking, Aunt Wang happened to have some free time to get something. She heard it and quickly looked down at her hands to see if they were dirty. She blushed unconsciously. The Si family was very respectable and clean, and she wanted to learn from them in the future.
