The aroma of cooking filled the house: I sent my eldest brother to become the Grand Secretary.

Wanyue lay on the chair, thinking that if she opened a restaurant, she would sell the hot pot she ate yesterday and the copper pot shabu-shabu of today.

Sister Cao'er's skills, plus the beef and mutton provided by her own fiefdom.

This business can easily expand throughout the entire Great Xia Kingdom, no, the entire Chinese continent.

Shen Cao was enjoying the pleasure of a full meal with her eyes closed when she suddenly felt a very strong gaze coming from beside her.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Wanyue looking at her with a motherly smile.

"what happened?"

"It's alright, Sister Grass."

I like you so much.

Shen Cao shivered. Why did she feel a hint of possessiveness in Wan Yue's eyes?

She must have seen it wrong.

The next morning, Shen Cao was dragged to the dock by Shen Yu'an and Wei Siyu.

They took out the blueprints for the renovation and finalized the renovation plan with Shen Cao.

Looking at the blueprints in front of him, Shen Cao couldn't help but admire the efficiency of the ancients.

The design on the drawing was even more detailed than her proposal, and it even took into account different weather conditions, with corresponding devices specifically designed for each.

She once again felt that choosing these two as her partners was an absolutely wise move.

Not only does it cost money, but it also saves a lot of trouble.

In the morning, the group went through all the details.

"Grass, this is what we're doing now, based on your so-and-so strategy..."

"Proposal".

"Yes, it's the renovation plan for the stall that was designed in the proposal." Shen Yu'an felt that the name of the proposal was very fitting.

"If there are no problems, we will proceed according to this blueprint."

Shen Cao nodded. They had already thought of every possible detail, and if any problems arose later, they could make changes gradually.

"Alright, it's almost noon now, let's go back for lunch." Wei Siyu suggested that they go back for lunch since everything was almost done.

You know, he was dragged here early in the morning by that guy Shen Yu'an, and he didn't even have a full breakfast, he just ate a bowl of wontons.

I'm starving now.

Shen Yu'an carefully reviewed the problems he had recorded and the modification drawings, and nodded only after confirming that there were no more problems.

"Okay, let's go back then."

"You guys go back first. Wanyue invited me to go somewhere today."

"The food at home should be ready by now, so we don't need to wait for us. We'll just grab something to eat outside."

Last night, when I saw Wanyue off, the little girl seriously asked her to meet me at Xin'an Street today.

When asked what was wrong, she wouldn't say.

Instead, he told himself mysteriously that he would find out when the time came.

Since it was getting closer to noon, Shen Cao naturally assumed that he should invite her out for lunch.

Upon hearing this, Wei Siyu became quite agitated. "Why did Wanyue ask you to meet her outside alone?"

"Can't we talk about this at home?"

"And it's the middle of the day, are you asking me to have lunch? Where in the whole Xin'an County can you find a restaurant that serves better food than Shen's Restaurant?"

Shen Cao shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

Wei Siyu was very curious and wanted to go with Shen Cao to see, but Shen Yu'an stopped him.

"Why are you so eager to get involved in a girl's date?"

"Besides, with Cao'er watching over Wanyue, what are you worried about?"

When Shen Cao arrived, Wan Yue was already waiting, with Lu Wu and Aunt Lu E standing beside her.

As soon as she saw Shen Cao, she waved happily and then rushed to Shen Cao.

"Sister Grass, you've come."

Shen Cao looked up at the restaurant in front of her, Zuixianlou.

Could it be that Wanyue really intends to invite me to dinner at Zuixianlou? But didn't she say before that she didn't like the food at Zuixianlou?

Seeing Shen Cao looking at the Zuixianlou signboard with a puzzled expression, Wanyue guessed that Sister Cao had misunderstood her.

She quickly pulled Shen Cao to the other side.

"Sister Cao'er, I didn't invite you to dinner at Zuixianlou today."

"The food at his house is terrible." He waved his hand and shook his head, as if afraid Shen Cao wouldn't believe him.

Shen Cao waved her hand, "I know."

Wanyue, "?"

“Shen Yu’an and Wei Siyu told me this before.”

"And they wanted to invite me to dinner there, but they refused to treat me."

"I'm not afraid to admit it, but I confidently told the manager that one day I would open a restaurant across the street that was even better than his."

Shen Cao looked up and saw a building in front of her that was twice the size of Zuixianlou and two stories taller.

I wonder when I'll be able to take over this place and fulfill my grand ambitions.

Upon hearing Shen Cao's words, Wan Yue excitedly grabbed Shen Cao's arm.

"Sister Cao'er, we're thinking the same thing."

She pointed to the building opposite Zuixianlou and said, "We even have such similar tastes."

"Look at this building, it's perfect for opening a restaurant."

"Sister Cao'er, I've called you here today for something important."

Seeing Wanyue's serious expression, Shen Cao immediately took her seriously as well.

"What's the matter?"

"I want to do business with Sister Cao'er."

"Do business with me?"

Wanyue nodded, "Cousin and Wei Siyu can do business with Sister Cao'er, so why can't I?"

"And I'm no worse than either of them."

She smiled and moved closer to Shen Cao, took Shen Cao's arm, looked around to make sure no one was there, and then whispered in Shen Cao's ear.

"Sister Cao'er, I'll tell you a secret, my father... my father gave me so much pocket money, I can never spend it all."

“I’m richer than both of them.”

Wanyue was afraid that Shen Cao would think she had no money, so she added one last sentence.

Shen Cao looked at the little girl beside her, who seemed afraid she wouldn't want to do business with her, and asked, "Didn't your father tell you not to tell strangers you're rich?"

"Then Sister Grass is not a stranger."

"Besides, if I don't seize the opportunity to learn Sister Cao'er's skills, I'm afraid I won't be able to get a turn in the future."

“I want to do business too, so they can all see that I’m not just a pampered girl who only knows how to spend money. I’m also very useful. One day I can protect them instead of just hiding behind them.”

Shen Cao sensed Wan Yue's emotional change; she had little interest in other people's affairs.

"So, what kind of business do you want to do with me?"

"How about opening a restaurant?"

"We'll just sell the hot pot we had the day before yesterday and the shabu-shabu we had yesterday."

"I've already found a place."

Shen Cao pointed to the building in front of her and said, "You're not talking about this place, are you?"

Wanyue nodded. "What do you think, Sister Cao'er? I've searched the entire Xin'an County, and this place is alright. If you're not satisfied, I'll find another place."

"No, this is already very good."

"I just don't know what the situation is like inside?"
