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

I followed the waiter to Wei Siyu's private room.

The waiter recalled the manager's instructions before he went upstairs.

"You'd better take good care of them later, and also find out who those two young masters are."

"Be smart!"

If it weren't for his age, he would have wanted to go up and serve them himself. He was so curious about the identities of Shen Cao and Shen Qing. There were very few people who could be treated like this by the dignified Little Tyrant of the Capital.

Upon entering the private room, Shen Cao immediately understood Wei Yuxin's smile in the corridor and the meaning behind her hesitation.

The decoration of this private room is simply outrageous.

Various calligraphy and paintings by famous artists are piled on the walls, and cabinets made of Phoebe zhennan wood are also filled with all kinds of rare treasures of different styles.

In short, you might not be able to tell the style of the owner of this private room, but you can definitely tell that the owner is very rich.

Perhaps sensing Shen Cao's lack of understanding, Wei Siyu was a little embarrassed to speak up, "It's just that my mother doesn't allow me to do these things at home, so I can only secretly indulge myself outside."

Shen Cao pointed to these items and asked curiously, "Are all of these yours? Are they genuine?"

“Of course.” Wei Siyu puffed out her chest. “I collected all of these myself.”

"Go ask around in the capital. Who am I, Wei Siyu? I'm the Little Tyrant of the Capital. Do you think my stuff is fake?"

Shen Qing asked with some curiosity, "Brother Wei, aren't you afraid these things will be stolen if you leave them here?" Although he had never seen these things before, judging from Wei Siyu's words, they must be quite valuable.

Wei Siyu had clearly not considered this issue beforehand, and was taken aback by Shen Qing's question before realizing what he meant.

"Xiangmanlou is the number one restaurant in the capital, how could they not even be able to keep an eye on this little bit of food? Right?" After saying that, she looked at the waiter next to her with some uncertainty to confirm.

The waiter smiled and nodded, "Young Master Wei, don't worry, all your belongings here are registered and insured with the Number One Escort Agency, so they definitely won't get lost."

"Even if it's lost, we'll compensate you for the price."

"Heh, so insurance already exists in ancient times," Shen Cao pouted with some regret, realizing that she had lost a way to make money.

"How's my private room?" Wei Siyu looked at Shen Cao smugly, wanting to hear praise from her.

To his surprise, Shen Cao ignored him, rolled her eyes at him, and blurted out, "You're seriously ill."

"Hahaha!!!" Wei Yuxin was amused by Shen Cao's words. She pointed at Wei Siyu and said, "My mother said the same thing. Your personality will definitely get along with my mother's."

Shen Cao was taken aback by Wei Yuxin's address of "Miss Shen," realizing that she had discovered her identity.

"I will definitely visit the Wei residence and pay my respects to Auntie in person when I am done with my work another day."

"Then it's settled."

Wei Siyu watched as her younger sister and Shen Cao sang in unison, clearly ignoring him completely.

He felt neglected.

"How could he be seriously ill?"

"You're wasting money on these flashy but impractical things. Besides, you probably won't be hosting any other guests in this private room. The cost of just the private room must be considerable each month."

"With so much money, it would be better to exchange it for gold bars and keep it."

"What else is this but a sickness?"

Upon hearing Shen Cao's words, Wei Yuxin felt as if she had found a kindred spirit. She walked up to her, took her hand, and the two of them spoke without saying a word, but everything was understood without being spoken.

“Miss Shen, I’ve found a kindred spirit. I’d rather use this money to buy more jewelry.”

Shen Cao nodded. Jewelry and ornaments are fine too. These things can not only be passed down through generations, but they can also appreciate in value.

The two hit it off immediately and sat hand in hand on the soft couch in the private room to start chatting.

Wei Siyu glanced at Shen Qing beside him, trying to find an ally, but no matter how he tried to signal to him, Shen Qing ignored him.

"I'll listen to my sister."

"You don't understand!" With that one sentence, Wei Siyu turned the page on the matter.

"Oh right, we haven't ordered yet." Wei Siyu called over the waiter to prepare to order.

The waiter pointed at Shen Cao, "This young master has already ordered."

"Then I'll add a few more!" Without thinking, Wei Siyu named several of Xiangmanlou's signature dishes.

However, they were all told that they had already ordered it.

"Never mind, let's not order anymore, you guys bring out the food."

The waiter went out and soon brought in a group of people.

As each dish was served, Wei Siyu's mouth opened wider and wider.

How much food did they order? Is there enough room on this table?

When the table was fully set, the waiter announced, "All the dishes are served. Xiangmanlou's signature dishes are all here. Please enjoy your meal."

After saying that, he left the private room with his men.

Wei Yuxin looked at the table full of dishes, then at the four people in the private room, and gave Shen Cao a thumbs up.

She now understood why her brother could be friends with Shen Cao.

Shen Cao smiled awkwardly, "I accidentally ordered too much. I figured since I'm here all the time, I should try everything."

"None of these taste as good as yours, there's nothing worth trying." If there wasn't really nothing else to eat, Wei Siyu wouldn't have come here. This is already considered the best place to cook in the entire capital.

"Miss Shen can cook?" Wei Yuxin asked, looking at Shen Cao. Shen Cao replied shyly, "I know a little bit. Brother Wei, you're exaggerating."

Wei Yuxin nodded. That's true. Shen Cao isn't very old. Even if she's good at cooking, she definitely can't cook as well as the chefs at Xiangmanlou who have been cooking for over ten years.

"Oh right, I haven't introduced you to each other yet."

Wei Siyu then remembered to introduce them to each other.

He pointed to his younger sister, "This is my little sister, Wei Yuxin."

Then he turned to Wei Yuxin and introduced them, "This is Shen Cao, and this is Shen Qing, Shen Cao's younger brother. They are both my good friends in Xin'an County."

After the introductions, everyone became noticeably more familiar with each other.

"This dish isn't as good as my older sister's."

"This isn't as good as my older sister's."

Wei Yuxin "..."

"Grass, do you think this can be done?"

"This doesn't taste as good as yours."

"This is alright, but I feel like what you did is definitely no worse than theirs!"

Wei Yuxin "..."

Is this some kind of exaggerated claim? It made her incredibly curious about Shen Cao's cooking skills.

During the meal, Shen Cao only tasted a few bites of each dish. After trying every dish, she had a general idea of ​​the chef's skill level in the best restaurant in the capital.

"Grass, where do you live now?"

Speaking of accommodations, Shen Cao remembered that she had something to ask Wei Siyu.

"Brother Wei, I need your help with something. Could you help me rent a courtyard near the Grand Tutor's mansion? I need to stay there for a long time."
