Shocking! The entire court was drooling with envy because of me.

Faced with Shen De and Shen Mao's long speech, Shen Qing only gave a few perfunctory replies.

She has no intention of running the restaurant herself; Zhiweixuan is already enough to keep her busy.

Once she has some free time after completing this mission, she will find someone else to cook and get Shen's Restaurant back in business.

As for her, her main focus is still on completing system tasks.

After all, the system's rewards are very generous.

"Girl, you must keep our Shen's Restaurant in mind. With you here, we can rest assured!" Shen De repeatedly urged.

Shen Qing simply replied, "I understand."

"If the three elders have nothing else to say, I will take my leave."

"It's alright, it's alright. Just focus on making delicious food and running the shop well," Shen Mao said hastily, his attitude completely changing.

Shen Qing nodded and pushed the cart away.

At this moment, Shen Gao couldn't hold back any longer and said angrily, "Are you really going to hand over the family business to a little girl??"

"Look at Shen Qing, she doesn't respect us at all, she didn't even invite us to her house, she's really gone too far!!"

"In my opinion, we should choose a good young man..."

"Alright, alright, that's settled then, stop talking." Shen De interrupted Shen Gao.

He had always thought Shen Mao was stubborn and Shen Gao was easygoing, but he never expected Shen Gao to be so obstinate this time.

Now it's so much better! The whole of Ping'an County knows about "Madam Shen," which means the Shen family is famous in Ping'an County!

Shen Mao interjected coldly from the side, "What are the three of us old men doing going to someone's house?"

"In my opinion, let's spend the night in the dilapidated temple. Tomorrow I'll try the Four Happiness Meatballs, and then we'll go back."

After saying that, he stared at Shen Gao's legs for a while longer, then asked, "Are you going to climb the tree again today?"

"I--"

Shen Gao was choking on his own, his face turning red and then white, and he felt extremely distressed.

"Climb, of course I'll climb!" he stubbornly insisted.

Shen De frowned: "Are you sure??"

"I'm sure. Also, I still think the family business shouldn't be given to Shen Qing. You should reconsider. After all, there are the laws of this dynasty."

After saying that, Shen Gao limped away.

He doesn't want to be with Shen De and Shen Mao.

He has important things to do!

......

As the night passed, another fragrant day began.

Shen Qing opened the door of Zhiweixuan Restaurant; today's Four Happiness Meatballs were 800 servings.

Shen Mao got up very early and was number one in line. Shen De was groggily pulled up, but luckily he was number two in line.

Instead of going to a teahouse, the two waited at the entrance of Zhiweixuan. The longer they waited, the happier they became, especially after hearing other diners praise Zhiweixuan.

Praising Zhiweixuan is tantamount to praising the Shen family!

"It smells so good! I can smell it!" Shen Mao couldn't help but exclaim, his eyes full of anticipation.

He hadn't tasted the Four Happiness Meatballs yet.

Shen De gazed into the distance: "I wonder what's going on with Shen Gao. Why hasn't he arrived yet?"

You know, Shen Gao is usually very greedy. He fell from a tree yesterday, what happened to him today?

"He probably fell again," Shen Mao said coolly.

After saying that, he added, "He deserved to fall."

Just then, the doors of Zhiweixuan opened, and Four Happiness Meatballs went on sale.

Shen De had no time to dwell on Shen Gao's matter; his attention was entirely focused on the Four Happiness Meatballs.

Shen Mao couldn't take his eyes off them; only today did he have the chance to examine the Four Happiness Meatballs closely.

A complex and rich aroma lingered around the tip of the nose, making one want to sniff and savor it more.

"Your Four Happiness Meatballs." Shen Qing said, treating him the same way he would any other customer.

To her, the people in the clan were like distant relatives.

She was naturally aloof, and being a transmigrator, she had absolutely no feelings for her clan.

Taking good care of Shen's mother was her way of fulfilling her duty to the original owner of this body; as for anything else, she wouldn't force herself to do anything else.

Shen Mao accepted his share of Four Happiness Meatballs.

With a gentle pinch of chopsticks, the meatball was split in two.

The cracked surface reveals fleshy particles, pink and moist, emitting a slight steam. Translucent water chestnut pieces are embedded between the fleshy particles, like fragments of jade embedded in red agate.

The sauce seeped into the cracks, flowing between the meat pieces and coating each piece with a thin, glistening layer of red oil.

When you put the meatball in your mouth, the first thing you taste is the rich and fragrant sauce on the surface, followed by the fresh and bouncy meat chunks. It's fragrant but not greasy.

One bite, and your mouth is filled with the aroma of meat, leaving you wanting more.

Shen Mao's eyes widened in surprise. He had heard many rumors about Shen Qing's delicious cooking and had thought that Four Happiness Meatballs were delicious, but he never imagined they would be this good.

He had eaten at Shen's Restaurant, and the food there was not only inferior, but utterly incomparable.

"No wonder...no wonder..."

Shen Mao ate it bite by bite; it was so delicious that he couldn't bear to finish it all at once.

Shen De also savored every bite. After finishing their meal, they were ready to head back.

Using the same recipe as yesterday, he went and bought rice again.

Pour two meatballs, still dripping with broth, into the rice, stir gently, and it's absolutely delicious.

The two old men ate very slowly, and after finishing, they lingered for a long time, but Shen Gao still didn't arrive.

The two men frowned, somewhat worried: "Do you think that old guy will get into trouble?"

"No way? Shen Gao is always so clever..."

"Look, it looks like the yamen runners have arrived!"

The two looked into the distance and sure enough, two constables came running up, panting.

They ran straight to Shen Qing and took a large stack of documents.

"Madam Shen, the magistrate asked us to bring this over."

"After you finish selling the Four Happiness Meatballs, you'll probably have to go to the county government office. Remember to take a look at these documents beforehand."

Shen Qing was stunned: "What happened?"

"It's hard to explain in a few words, but anyway, an old man named Shen Gao went to the county government to sue you. But don't worry, the county magistrate is there. You can go there after you finish selling the Four Happiness Meatballs."

"No rush, let's go over after we sell all the Four Happiness Meatballs."

The constable explained it clearly, and Shen De and Shen Mao understood it as well.

The two old men were stunned, their eyes filled with shock and confusion.

"What exactly is Shen Gao trying to do?" Shen Mao was speechless.

Why did you go and report it to the authorities? Why drag the government into this?
