Chapter 150: A Young Child

Shen Tianci composed himself and pretended not to care. “Why are you asking?

1 already said that you’re a guest today.”

Xiaoxiao smiled at him. “I just want to make delicious food for the birthday boy myself. No one has eaten it before, and no one knows how to make it except me. Do you want it?”

Shen Tianci did not want to nod either, but her words were too tempting. Who did not want to eat Ning Xiaoxiao’s dishes on their birthday?

Mrs. Shen frowned and was about to refuse when she heard Xiaoxiao say, “I think 1 brought along the ingredients to make crystal jelly and crystal prawn dumplings before I left. Madam, don’t you want one?”

Mrs. Shen clenched her fists and coughed lightly. “Will it be too much trouble for you?”

Xiaoxiao chuckled. “1’11 go get something from the carriage.”

Before she came, she had underestimated the “flower appreciation” and “hiking” of the rich. She thought that she was going on an outing in the wilderness today, so she brought a lot of barbecued ingredients and so on. She left them in the carriage when she arrived at the courtyard. Now, she went back into the carriage and flipped her hand. The things she wanted to use were moved out of the space.

Big Brother and Second Brother, who were following closely behind her to help carry the things, were very puzzled. “When did you bring these?”

Xiaoxiao blinked. “I was drowsy in the morning. I stuffed them in a daze when 1 was taking my things.”

Her brothers naturally did not suspect anything. They took one packet in each hand.

Xiaoxiao followed them empty-handed. She had already started to think about the recipes in her mind. When she passed by the banquet hall again, she met He Ruhuan, who was smiling at her smugly. Xiaoxiao went forward. “It wasn’t an accident in the kitchen, right?”

She did not need He Ruhuan’s answer. “Did you ever think that Shen Tianci would be sad if his birthday banquet was ruined because of this?”

He Ruhuan’s expression froze. Xiaoxiao snorted and walked past her. “So you’re not worthy of him.”

He Ruhuan was infuriated by the mockery, but after gritting her teeth for a long time, she only said, “Then 1’11 see how you use those vulgar farm vegetables to turn the tide.”

Xiaoxiao was speaking from the bottom of her heart. A person like He Ruhuan, who did not hesitate to hurt others to achieve her goal, was really not worthy of the clean and simple Shen Tianci.

In fact, all kinds of side dishes had been prepared in the kitchen. Fresh fish, prawns, and vegetables were also prepared. There was even a pot of “Buddha Jumps Over The Wall”® on the stove.

This was because the signature dish’s recipe was only in the hands of the chef. Once he was injured, no one could replace him. Shopkeeper Xu was so anxious that he ran around the kitchen, but he could not force the chef to tell him his ancestral recipe. He could only ask over and over again, “Where’s the lady chef?”

It was at this moment that Xiaoxiao came over. Shopkeeper Xu was stunned. “Miss Ning?”

Xiaoxiao did not want to waste time, so she rolled up her sleeves on the way here. “Give me a few empty stoves.”

Seeing her attitude, Shopkeeper Xu instantly understood. “Miss Ning wants to cook?”

The chef, who was sitting in the corner and covering his injured hand, sneered. She really thought she was a famous chef just because she knew how to stir-fry a few sour bamboo shoots?

He was extremely unconvinced by Ning Xiaoxiao. Otherwise, He Ruhuan would not have persuaded him to cooperate with her so easily.

However, why was the shopkeeper praising her as a great figure when she had only created some lowly pickles?

He did not think that the seasoning that cost 20 taels of silver a month was anything special. If she had not made it into sauce, he might have tried the formula himself in two to three days.

He had worked so hard in the kitchen and only earned five taels a month. Could it be that he was conscientiously using his ancestral earnings to earn money for the restaurant, but in the end, he was inferior to a peasant girl?

The Shen Family was really messing around. They actually handed the kitchen to such a young child.
