Ning Ansheng saw that he was banging on the brick bed and sighed. “Isn’t Sister going to the county office tomorrow?

Ning Anhui’s eyes lit up. “Sister is going to complain to the county magistrate?” Ning Ansheng patted him with a book. “What are you talking about? What do you mean by ‘complaining’? She is going to just mention it when we are chatting.”

Ning Anhui locked himself under the blanket. “Big Brother, I realized that you’ve changed recently. You’ve become more cunning.”

Ning Ansheng glared at him and continued reading.

Perhaps it was because he was tired from the day, or perhaps it was because he was born with good sleep quality, Ning Anhui blinked a few times and quickly

fell asleep.

Only then did Ning Ansheng sigh. His younger brother’s straightforwardness was indeed unsuitable for an official career. If he was really forced to study, he would probably only be able to become a bookworm. However, he had never heard of the new calculation that his younger sister had given him. As expected, he had not studied enough.

The next day, Xiaoxiao went to the Shen Residence with the crayfish. She was very proud when she saw that Mrs. Shen, who did not do any chores, could not stop even after peeling more than 10 crayfish.

Knowing that Little Big Brother’s injuries had recovered and he had already gone to the academy today, she bid farewell to Mrs. Shen, who was engrossed in crayfish, and went to Fragrance Restaurant.

Mrs. Shen was from a noble family after all, and she did not forget to send Xiaoxiao out at a time like this. Unexpectedly, when she returned to the house after sending her off, she saw that her husband, who was supposed to sleep in during the break, was already rolling up his sleeves and peeling prawns. There was a small pile of prawn shells beside him!

She hurriedly jogged back and gathered her favorite Huadiao. Under the gazes of the servants, the couple began to peel the prawns at a faster speed.

County Magistrate Shen got playful and peeled the prawns faster than his wife. When the latter was about to explode, he pushed the peeled prawns to her.

The servants were speechless.

In order to let Shopkeeper Xu truly appreciate the deliciousness of the crayfish, Xiaoxiao borrowed the small kitchen to heat up the crayfish when she went to the Fragrance Restaurant. As soon as the fragrance wafted out, the customers outside couldn’t sit still anymore.

Those who could come to the Fragrance Restaurant often for a meal were naturally gluttons. Those with sharp noses were comparable to Xiaoxiao’s Walnut. Those who were more familiar with Shopkeeper Xu went to the kitchen to knock on the door.

“Old Xu, oh, Old Xu, what new dish are you secretly researching?”

“We’ve been eating at your Fragrance Restaurant for 10 years. We’re as close as brothers, are we? Quick, quickly give me a bowl of the food in your pot!”

“Old Xu, you’ve been getting more and more unkind recently. You re always getting special treatment in the kitchen. Why can’t you bear to share what’s good with your brothers?”

Every time Xiaoxiao came back to cook, the fragrance of the dishes would drift from the small kitchen furthest from the hall to the front, causing the customers to ask a few times.

Shopkeeper Xu had been asked many times. He said that the kitchen was researching a new dish. As for when it would be on the menu? He did not know, but he was still considering it.

Shopkeeper Xu wanted to bluff his way through like before, but he couldn’t. It was too fragrant. Even he was craving it.

Xiaoxiao remained unmoved. She first scooped a bowl each of various flavors of crayfish for Shopkeeper Xu to try.

Shopkeeper Xu was horrified when he saw the thing she brought—could this thing be eaten?

However, when he finished the small bowls, he looked down on his scared self just now. This thing was too f*cking delicious! Ah, it smelled so good! Unknowingly, he had finished all the small bowls. Shopkeeper Xu looked at the pot eagerly. Xiaoxiao extinguished the stove, put down the spatula, and took out the iced Huadiao crayfish.

Shopkeeper Xu was shocked! Shopkeeper Xu was dumbfounded! Shopkeeper Xu couldn’t stop himself! Shopkeeper Xu… hurriedly got someone to invite Li Muyan over as quickly as possible.

The latter was originally troubled by his grandmother. When he found out that Shopkeeper Xu had something to discuss, he hurriedly ran out without even asking for the details. Old Madam Li, who was complaining about her headache and stomachache just now, saw that he had really walked far away and immediately threw her handkerchief at her daughter-in-law, who was standing at the side.

■’Useless thing. I’m about to die. Haven’t you gotten back the assets that Li Leqing took away?” Li Leqing was Mrs. Shen’s maiden name. When she got married, Old Master Li was still around. Her “ten-mile red trousseau” was still talked about.

The Second Madam of the Li Family lowered her head. “The Shen Family clearly doesn’t want Ruhuan. There’s nothing I can do.”

Old Madam Li gritted her teeth. “I, the Old Madam, have already asked her son to marry He Ruhuan. How dare she reject me?”

Second Madam thought to herself, Its not the first time that Eldest Miss has disobeyed. Why are you making a fuss? Old Madam turned her anger on her again. “It’s all because your niece is useless! She can’t even handle a fat and stupid Shen Tianci. Useless thing! If she’s so useless, I’ll immediately make the decision to bring my son’s mistress back!”

Second Madam couldn’t get pregnant since she gave birth to Li Muyan. As the head of the richest family in Jiangnan, many people took the initiative to approach Master Li. A few days ago, they found out that he had a mistress and went to see her every few days. He treasured the mistress very much.

Second Madam endured the scolding aggrievedly. Just as she returned to her courtyard, she saw her niece, He Ruhuan, crying.

He Ruhuan’s originally delicate face was already distorted. “It’s all that farm girl’s fault! I’ve become a joke now!”

“Aunt, I don’t like that pig Shen Tianci either. I don’t want to marry him!” Second Madam suppressed the annoyance in her heart and went forward to comfort her. “Don’t be anxious. Although Shen Tianci’s figure is a little ugly, his mother, Li Leqing, took a lot of money from our Li Family when she got married. If you marry over, those will be yours. Aunt is doing this for your own good.”

He Ruhuan cried until her eyes hurt and her head hurt. She blurted out, “Isn’t Cousin Muyan much better than Shen Tianci? Why don’t you let me marry Cousin Muyan!”

Second Madam’s expression changed. She thought to herself, After all, she’s the daughter of my younger sister, whose mother is a concubine. Her heart is higher than the sky and her life is thinner than paper. How dare she think of marrying into the Li Family?

She hid the disdain in her heart and patted He Ruhuan’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, I’ve already thought of a way. The Shen Family will have no choice but to acknowledge you soon.”

On the other hand, after the pumpkin porridge that Xiaoxiao had prepared today was ready, Li Muyan walked into the small kitchen of the Fragrance Restaurant.

The moment he entered, he saw Shopkeeper Xu eating porridge with a bowl in his left hand and a spoon in his right. There was even a fragrance of fresh and spicy wine floating in the room.

He took a deep breath and felt hungry. He had a headache from his grandmother’s torture at home, but Shopkeeper Xu’s food was good. You didn’t eat breakfast?”

Shopkeeper Xu, whose stomach was already full, burped. Then, he pushed the various flavors of crayfish that he had prepared in front of Boss with a silly smile. “Try them?”

Li Muyan thought that he was quite sensible, but he hesitated when he saw what was in the bowl.

Xiaoxiao personally peeled one and fed it to him. At the same time, she told him, “Don’t worry, genius Doctor Gongsun personally identified it. Yes, there are also people who have tried it many times. There’s no problem..”
