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

"This is so delicious!" Ever since Shen Cao left, this exclamation has never stopped at the dining table in the main room.

A group of people were scrambling to eat the wolf-tooth potatoes and candied sweet potatoes on the table.

"Ah Wan, you're so lucky! You get to eat such delicious food every day."

“Yes, Aqing, I’ve even thought about switching places with you. You can come to my house and be my mother’s son, and I’ll come to the Shen family and be your sister’s younger brother.”

As he spoke, he stuffed his mouth full of wolf-tooth potatoes, his lips covered in seasoning.

Shen Qing rolled his eyes. "You wish! My older sister is the best older sister in the world. I'm not trading with you."

In no time, the food on the table was devoured, leaving only the bottom of the condiments. The bottom of the bowl of candied sweet potatoes was even licked clean.

"Aqing, do you have any steamed buns at home? This soup would definitely taste good with steamed buns."

One of the friends licked his lips, still wanting more, but reluctant to part with the remaining seasoning.

Everyone else looked at Shen Qing with anticipation after hearing his words.

Shen Qing felt a little embarrassed by the stares and said, "I'll go check in the kitchen."

A little while later, he came in with a bowl of rice. "I didn't see any steamed buns in the kitchen, but I saw there was rice, so I filled a bowl with it."

He turned the rice into a bowl and stirred the sauce evenly.

The originally white rice turned into a dark brown color, and with the addition of green cilantro and scallions, it looked delicious.

A group of people, each taking only a spoonful, quickly finished dividing up the rice.

"This is delicious! These are the best potatoes and sweet potatoes I've ever eaten," one of the chubby boys said, patting his round belly with satisfaction.

"Yes, I've had enough potatoes at home. My mom either steams potatoes, boils potatoes, or sometimes bakes them."

"But today's potatoes are the best I've ever eaten. If potatoes are cooked like this, then they'll be my favorite."

"Yes, my family does too. We steam sweet potatoes, roast sweet potatoes, make sweet potato porridge. I'm practically a sweet potato myself."

Everyone started discussing it animatedly, and in the end, they all looked at Shen Wan and Shen Qing with envy.

Shen Wan was quite pleased with their envious looks. "See? I told you before that my older sister is a great cook. You didn't believe me, but now you do."

Shen Qing raised his head, like a proud peacock, "This is nothing! These are just potatoes and sweet potatoes, and my sister makes them so delicious."

"She cooks her other dishes even better."

"If you don't believe me, come and try my restaurant."

Upon hearing Shen Qing invite them to eat at the restaurant, several friends who had previously dined at Shen's restaurant were the first to voice their opinions.

“I once had a boxed lunch with my dad, and the braised meatballs in it still make my mouth water just thinking about it.”

"Yes, yes, I've tried it too, it's delicious."

Seeing that they were having a very enthusiastic discussion, some people lowered their heads. Their families were relatively poor and rarely went out to buy food.

Shen Qing sensed his friends' disappointment and cheerfully exclaimed, "How about this? You all have a penny of pocket money every month, and sometimes we can earn money by collecting seashells. We can pool our money together and come to my house every month so my older sister can cook these things for us again."

The others agreed with Shen Qing's suggestion. Those who were in a bad mood were particularly excited. If they could have a meal like this every month, they would be willing to save their money and even collect more seashells.

“Since everyone has agreed, then we’ll all come to my house for dinner on the fifteenth of each month.”

“You can bring things from home too, and I’ll have my older sister cook something delicious for us.”

"it is good!"

"yeah!"

"From now on, if you follow Sister Wan, Brother Qing will live the high life!"

Shen Cao: [Shen Qing, have you told your older sister about this decision?]

In the shop in front, Shen Cao was about to sneak in to cook wontons when she saw He Yu walk up to her, point to the wontons in the wooden steamer, and say, "Boss, are these your chicken soup wontons?"

Father Shen did not notice Shen Cao's unusual behavior. He was in a hurry to clear the table. "Cao'er, please introduce our wontons to our guests."

Shen Cao was usually the one who made the introductions, so he didn't see the look she was giving him.

"Ahem!" Shen Cao cleared her throat. "Esteemed customer, these are our wontons. We offer wontons with fillings of pure meat, fresh shrimp, shepherd's purse and meat, and mushroom and meat. What kind of filling would you like?" Shen Cao had recently been picking a lot of mushrooms, so she introduced a new mushroom and meat wonton filling.

He Yu was surprised that the wontons had so much filling, and he walked up to his master.

"Master, what kind of wonton filling would you like to eat?"

Ji Lingfeng ignored him and kept staring at Shen Cao.

Shen Cao felt a little uneasy under his gaze.

"May I ask if the boss could recommend which one I should eat?" Ji Lingfeng seemed to want to see through Shen Cao as he looked at her and asked.

"Um! Sir, why don't you try them all? Every kind of chicken soup wonton is delicious."

"Oh? Chicken soup and wontons. I had the best chicken soup in the world a while ago. In that case, I'll listen to the boss and have one of each."

"He wouldn't have recognized me, would he?" Shen Cao thought after he mentioned chicken soup.

However, I am his savior after all, he wouldn't be so petty, would he?

The person who just asked her must be the one who came to support him. Judging from his respectful attitude towards that person, she must be right.

This person's identity must be extraordinary.

At least not ordinary people.

She was dressed as a man that day, and even wore a fake beard to avoid being recognized, so most people definitely wouldn't recognize her.

He Yu wiped the stool with his sleeve before inviting Ji Lingfeng to sit down.

Mrs. Shen stared at the two guests in the hall. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but the person who had just sat down seemed to have an aura that made him seem unapproachable.

The person wiping the stools, on the other hand, seemed rather kind.

She nudged Mr. Shen, who was standing next to her, wanting to tell him how she felt and ask him to serve her tea.

But no matter how many times she poked him, Mr. Shen didn't react.

She turned around and saw that Shen's father was staring at the person who had sat down, and stood there dumbfounded.

"Master, do you know that young boss from earlier?" Ye Shu asked with a gossipy look after sitting down.

"I don't know him," Ji Lingfeng said calmly.

"Oh!"

"However, Master, you don't know this person, so why are you telling them about drinking chicken soup before?"

"I want you to take care of it!"

"Go back and collect your ten strokes of the military rod."

"Master..." He Yu didn't know what she had said wrong, and looked aggrieved, wanting to plead for herself.

Fifteen strokes of the military rod!

He Yu immediately covered her mouth with both hands, staring at Ji Lingfeng with a mournful expression.

His master was a cold-blooded and ruthless person, without any humanity whatsoever.
