This is terrible! My future prime minister keeps trying to kiss me forcibly.

"what?"

Chef Xu's triangular eyes widened as he stared at the group in disbelief, before finally fixing his gaze on Ye Xiaoxiao, who had spoken.

"Have you thought this through? We're the only restaurant in Qifeng Town. If you don't sell here, where else are you going to sell?"

The man with triangular eyes wore a smug and arrogant expression, and his gaze toward the group carried a hint of condescension.

That means you rely on hunting to make a living, and you depend on Yipinlou for even a bite to eat!

"He Jing, let's go!"

Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the man beside her.

He Jing nodded and loaded everything onto the oxcart, deciding that listening to Xiao Xiao was the right thing to do.

"Hey! Hey! You're really leaving?" Cook Xu panicked when he saw they were about to leave, and jumped up and shouted, "I'll give you an extra fifty coins! Fifty coins!"

Ye Xiaoxiao and the others ignored him, got into the carriage, and left.

Chef Xu stomped his feet angrily at the back door, uttering a harsh threat: "I'll be waiting for you to come back begging me! Humph—"

The group rode in an oxcart around to the front of Yipinju Restaurant. It wasn't mealtime yet, but the restaurant was already quite full of diners.

It seems that Yipinju's business is indeed doing well.

He Jing turned to look at the person beside him: "Xiao Xiao, are you hungry?"

Ye Xiaoxiao wasn't hungry at first, but after he asked her that, her stomach started growling a few times.

The group stopped next to a wonton stall.

"Uncle, four bowls of wontons, shepherd's purse filling, please."

"okay!"

Upon hearing this, the old man selling wontons quickly wiped his hands clean, took four large bowls, and filled them with various seasonings.

The young woman next to me was rolling out dough and filling it. Her hands moved so fast, rolling, spreading, scooping, and pinching, it was a pleasure to watch.

Several wontons were added to the pot one after another, steaming hot. Before long, the plump, white wontons were tumbling in the boiling broth. They were scooped out with a slotted spoon and placed in a bowl. Then, a ladleful of broth was ladled over the wontons from a height, ensuring not a drop was spilled. Finally, a handful of chopped green onions was sprinkled on top, the finishing touch.

Before long, four bowls of steaming hot and fragrant wontons were served.

The tender wonton wrappers float in the clear broth, encasing the firm and fresh shepherd's purse and meat filling.

Ye Xiaoxiao scooped up a wonton with a thin skin and a large filling, blew on it gently, took a small bite, and then slid the whole wonton into her mouth after it cooled down.

She squinted her eyes in satisfaction and couldn't help but sigh. The delicious wonton filling and the smooth wonton wrapper combined to create an indescribably wonderful taste.

He Wuyang breathed out, a little impatient and a little greedy: "Delicious, delicious, just as delicious as the dishes my brother cooks."

Ye Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow. This little girl's words are quite pleasing to the ear! So young, yet so promising!

She and He Jing exchanged a glance without making a sound, their eyes both filled with smiles.

He Wuyou carefully bit open the wonton wrapper, put the shepherd's purse and meat filling on her chopsticks, waited for it to cool down, and then fed it to Xiao Hei in her palm.

Little Black stuck out its pink tongue, rolled it up gently, and swallowed the meat filling. Finally, its round, black eyes stared at He Wuyou: "I want more."

"Don't worry, Xiao Hei seems to have gained quite a bit of weight recently. Looks like you're really suited to keeping pets!"

Ye Xiaoxiao stared at Xiao Hei's round belly and spoke.

Upon hearing this, He Wuyou's big eyes lit up, and his face was filled with joy.

Seeing her second brother's smug expression, He Wuyang pouted and accused, "Sister-in-law, my second brother did it on purpose!"

Her words immediately drew everyone's attention.

The little girl was sweating profusely as she ate the wontons, her rosy cheeks even darker than the color of peach blossoms.

Ye Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "Hmm? What happened to Wuyou?"

"Second Brother wants to fatten up Little Black so I can't carry him anymore, then he can monopolize Little Black all by himself! Humph!" He Wuyang said seriously, with a sly look in his eyes.

Ye Xiaoxiao almost laughed until she cried.

He Jing, He Wuyou: Ah Yang, don't be so outrageous.

At this moment, He Wuyou, who had just fed a small piece of black meat filling, suddenly thought of something, and the light in his eyes dimmed again.

"Sister-in-law, why haven't my goslings hatched yet?"

Ye Xiaoxiao paused in her action of picking up the bowl to drink the wonton soup. She gently placed the bowl on the table and stroked Xiao Hei, who was lying comfortably on He Wuyou's lap.

"The weather is getting warmer, and it might hatch in a few days!"

Hearing this, He Wuyou happily fed Xiao Hei another wonton.

Ye Xiaoxiao finished the wonton soup in her bowl and rested her chin on her hand, watching the people coming and going.

A brilliant idea suddenly came to me!
