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

Nangong Jing asked around with a pained expression.

But no one was willing to sell their spot.

The diners at Zhiwei Restaurant are all well-off; they're only thinking about eating, especially since they've had some new dishes today.

Prince Nangong Jing was extremely distressed.

Before coming to Zhiwei Restaurant, he considered many possibilities, but he never thought he would not be able to eat there.

The air was filled with aromas: the aroma of jianbing guozi (Chinese crepes), the aroma of mala xiangguo (spicy hot pot), the aroma of grilled sausages, the aroma of bobo chicken, and the aroma of pizza.

It made people completely dizzy with its fragrance.

But the problem is, you can only smell it, not eat it.

"What a terrible thing I've done!" he couldn't help but wail.

As he was howling, suddenly his eyes lit up.

A new path opens up before you do.

He saw someone he knew!

Nangong Jing was overjoyed. He dashed over and shouted, "Cousin!!"

"Cousin, you're in line too!"

Young Master Nangong Yao, who was eagerly anticipating the food in the group, was left bewildered.

What's rushing over here?

Scary.

Upon closer inspection, good heavens, wasn't this the Crown Prince he had seen at the palace banquet before?

"Brother Crown Prince, what brings you here?"

Nangong Yao had a strange, ominous feeling.

Previously, at palace banquets, this Crown Prince had always been indifferent to him. Why was he so enthusiastic today? Could it be...?

Nangong Jing didn't stand on ceremony at all. He grabbed Nangong Yao's small shoulders with his two large, fat hands and said with a burning desire, "Cousin, I want to try Lady Shen's food!"

"But I was too late and missed the line."

"Cousin, could you share some of your food with me?"

"Especially that jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe), it looks like it's cut in half. How about we each take one half?"

"Cousin, if you help me this time, when you grow up, I'll entrust you with handling important national affairs and make you a high-ranking official!"

Nangong Jing's eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

Nangong Yao: "..."

After all that fuss, they were just trying to steal his food.

No wonder.

"Okay, but it's a deal, we'll split it in half."

Nangong Yao nodded in agreement.

No matter what, the Crown Prince is his elder brother, and now that he has come to Ping'an County, it is only right that he gives up some of the food.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Jing was overjoyed.

The large, fleshy hand kept patting Nangong Yao's small shoulder.

"Cousin, thanks to you, you're simply the best cousin."

"Cousin, don't worry, when you grow up, I'll make you the most powerful person in the entire court!"

Nangong Yao was almost in tears from being slapped. He was just a little kid and couldn't possibly withstand Nangong Jing's strong grip.

"Brother Crown Prince, no need, I'm willing to share the food with you."

As he spoke, he quickly stepped back, freeing himself from Nangong Jing's clutches.

Nangong Jing was overjoyed; he finally got the chance to enjoy some delicious food.

The line continued forward, and after a while, it was finally Nangong Yao's turn.

"Jianbing guozi! One jianbing guozi, please!!"

Nangong Jing shouted excitedly from the side, his cheeks trembling, not giving Nangong Yao a chance to speak at all.

Shen Qing recognized Nangong Jing at a glance as the fat man who had insisted on cutting in line earlier.

She looked away and turned to Nangong Yao: "You...know each other?"

"He's my brother," Nangong Yao said. "Sister Shen, I'd like a jianbing guozi, the kind cut in half, one half for me and one half for my brother."

The young prince's older brother...

So this person really is a prince.

Shen Qing nodded, asked no further questions, and skillfully began making jianbing guozi.

Pour in the batter, spread it out, beat the egg, sprinkle with sesame seeds, brush on the sauce, add ham, etc...

All the movements were done in one go, and soon, a fragrant jianbing guozi was ready.

"Here you go, the jianbing guozi is ready." Shen Qing handed the jianbing guozi she had made to Nangong Yao, and she even thoughtfully packed it into two portions.

Nangong Jing's mouth was watering, and he couldn't see anything else. He reached out and snatched his own jianbing guozi.

That's a bit rude of me to be so greedy.

But he couldn't care less about anything at that moment; the smell was just too wonderful, incredibly wonderful.

Take a bite.

click-

The crust is infused with the aroma of eggs, thin and crispy, bursting open between your lips and teeth, breaking into countless small pieces as you chew, creating a striking contrast with the soft and chewy crust.

Immediately afterwards, an indescribable aroma of sauce wafted up, mixed with the caramelized fragrance of sesame seeds and the refreshing spiciness of scallions, making him unable to resist.

With another bite, he encountered a sausage, and the taste instantly rose to another level. It had a meaty aroma but was very subtle, something he had never eaten before.

Swallow it in one gulp, and there's not a trace of greasiness.

Nangong Jing's eyes lit up, and he kept eating, one bite after another, unable to stop.

If it weren't for his obesity, people would have suspected that he hadn't eaten for days.

Nangong Yao sighed like a little adult: "Sister Shen, this is my brother's first time eating at Zhiwei Restaurant. He's just too greedy. Please don't take offense."

"No, try it!" Shen Qing smiled.

"Sister Shen is so kind."

Nangong Yao picked up his jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe) and was about to eat it when a pair of large hands suddenly reached out from the side.

"Cousin, let me eat first, you can eat tomorrow." His voice was muffled, clearly indicating that he still had food in his mouth that he couldn't chew.

Nangong Yao never expected that, in the blink of an eye, the jianbing guozi in his hand would disappear.

"Cousin, don't worry, I'll remember this jianbing guozi for the rest of my life, until you grow up..."

"We agreed to split it in half, give it back to me!!" Nangong Yao's face turned red, and he ran over to snatch it back.

He was already quite reluctant to give half to Nangong Jing, which was out of his kindness and politeness.

But why steal his partner?

He also wanted to try the new Jianbing Guozi (Chinese crepe).

"It's just a cake. When you grow up, I'll make you the most powerful minister."

Taking advantage of his age and height, Nangong Jing held the jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe) high in his hand.

Nangong Yao jumped around below but couldn't reach it, and his eyes turned red with anxiety.

"Give it to me! I've never even had a jianbing guozi before. We agreed to split it in half, how can you go back on your word?"

"Alright, alright, you don't like it, it's not good, it's not good, I'll eat it for you!"

"..."

Shen Qing couldn't stand it any longer while sitting in the stall.

How could anyone have the nerve to snatch food from a child?

That fat crown prince is truly wicked; he and that stupid emperor who came to the restaurant before are indeed father and son.

However, as the restaurant owner, she couldn't interfere in the affairs between her guests.

After thinking for a moment, she had someone call the group of children from the backyard.

Those children were originally brought to Ping'an County by Nangong Yao.
