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

The Yan family was very famous in Ping'an County.

Old Master Yan was a former Minister of Revenue, a veteran official of the court. After retiring, he returned to Ping'an County to enjoy his later years.

This is only one of the reasons why the Yan family is so prominent. Another important reason is that the current Minister of Revenue is Yan Wenli, the son of Old Master Yan.

It can be said that the Yan family held a very high position in Ping'an County, and even the county magistrate treated Old Master Yan with great respect.

Shen Qing was aware of this, of course, as she had received the original owner's memories.

However, the Yan family's prominence had nothing to do with her; she simply ran her business honestly.

As for Zhao Wu from earlier, she's just a servant. I doubt the Yan family would cause her any trouble because of a servant.

"Aunt Wang, it's alright. I'm just a nobody selling food, the Yan family won't bother with me," Shen Qing said nonchalantly.

Wang Chunhua panicked and quickly said, "As the saying goes, it's easier to deal with the King of Hell than his underlings. Zhao Wu looks like a villain. People like that are always up to no good. What if he pulls some tricks behind our backs..."

"Listen to me, send him a special Four Delicacies Soup, apologize to him, and maybe this matter will be over."

Wang Chunhua had long heard about Zhao Wu's behavior and kindly offered her advice.

"It's okay, I'm not afraid." Shen Qing shook her head.

Wang Chunhua hesitated, but seeing Shen Qing's stubbornness, she didn't want to persuade him further. After all, the two hadn't known each other for long and weren't very familiar with each other.

"Ugh."

She sighed and went back to her wonton shop.

If the little girl doesn't listen to reason, I'm afraid Zhao Wu won't let it go easily.

By then, let alone opening a shop, I'm afraid even the recipe for the Four Delicacies Soup will be forgotten...

Shen Qing's shop returned to its previous deserted state.

Although the Four Delicacies Soup is fragrant, its fragrance is not the overpowering and stimulating fragrance of fried chicken or braised pork ribs, but rather leans towards a fresh and savory aroma.

Therefore, the fragrance has a limited range and is extremely faint.

Unfortunately, this street was unusually quiet, and the aroma couldn't reach the bustling street.

"There really aren't any customers..." Shen Qing was a little worried for the first time.

She really had bad luck; she got the Four Beauties Soup on her first random selection.

Four Delicacies Soup is a rather elegant dish. Although it is excellent, it is far less appealing than those dishes with strong, stimulating flavors.

It's too deserted.

......

At this moment, at the entrance of the academy, several little beggars were surrounding a scholar.

The scholar was none other than Zhao Gou.

"We've found this lady! We've found her!" The little beggars held up a portrait.

At first glance, the portrait depicts Shen Qing with remarkable realism.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gou immediately squatted down, his entire body pounding with excitement: "You really found it? Where is it?"

"This lady has just opened a new shop."

"A shop?!" Zhao Gou was overjoyed. "A shop really opened?"

He had heard from his old customers that Madam Shen was skilled in cooking and capricious in setting up her stall. She would set up her stall for a while and then stop, always moving to a different place to sell new food.

Everyone was anxiously searching for Madam Shen every time, but fortunately, there were always new delicacies to be found.

If the shop really opens this time, wouldn't everyone be able to enjoy Shen Niangzi's delicious food every day?

Then we won't have to search for Lady Shen anymore.

"It's open. It's called Zhiweixuan, and it's located in the south of the city."

"South of the city!" Zhao Gou's face broke into a maniacal laugh. "South of the city, wonderful! Isn't it the busiest street in the south of the city?"

"...No, it's the quietest street, and the last one."

The little beggar looked at Zhao Gou with some fear and involuntarily took a step back.

"The deserted street..." Zhao Gou frowned.

Is Madam Shen short of money?

No, he had to tell everyone the news quickly. He couldn't let Madam Shen's shop go out of business, or there would be no more good food.

Thinking of this, Zhao Gou turned and ran.

The group of little beggars immediately grabbed Zhao Gou's legs: "You can't leave! You haven't given us the copper coins you promised! You can't go back on your word!"

"Yes, it took us a lot of effort to find that person."

"We can't leave."

"..."

Zhao Gou completely forgot about giving copper coins; all he could think about was informing everyone to go and support Shen Qing.

He casually pulled out a dozen or so copper coins from his pocket and threw them out.

"Here you go, I have other things to do!"

After saying that, he ran straight back to the academy.

"Master, Master, we've found Lady Shen! She's opened her shop!" Zhao Gou shouted as he ran.

The students were all excited and pulled Zhao Gou aside to ask him all sorts of questions.

Master Zheng was equally excited. He immediately stood up and asked anxiously, "You've opened a shop? What kind of food do you sell?"

"I forgot to ask that." Zhao Gou scratched his head regretfully, then added, "But it doesn't matter, as long as it's made by Madam Shen, whatever it is, it will definitely taste good."

"That street in the south of the city isn't far from our academy, Master. May we go and take a look at Madam Shen's shop later?"

Although Zhao Gou desperately wanted to go, he ultimately chose to seek the advice of Master Zheng.

Master Zheng nodded: "Of course, you can go after you finish reciting today's book. Let's go together."

Upon hearing this, the students' eyes lit up. They stopped talking and immediately picked up their books to begin reciting earnestly.

Zhao Gou then ran up to Master Zheng and said, "Master, I have finished reciting it. May I inform the other diners of this news?"

"I was thinking, that location is too remote, we can't let Madam Shen's shop go out of business."

Zhao Gou was always clever and had already finished memorizing his daily reading material.

Master Zheng had no objection: "Go ahead."

After all, he didn't want Shen Qing's shop to go out of business.

To be honest, he was quite looking forward to the new food.

Zhao Gou dashed out of the academy gate again.

......

Meanwhile, Zhao Wan was at home, holding her older brother Zhao Cheng's hand and acting coquettishly.

"Brother, could you bring more people to support Sister Shen? It's her first day of business, and we don't know how things are going."

"Brother, why don't you pay for all your brothers and friends to eat at Sister Shen's shop?"

"And also, could we hire a lion dance troupe to liven things up? That way, more people will know about Sister Shen's shop."

Zhao Cheng scratched his head, feeling that something was amiss.

When did his sister become Shen Qingnao?

There's this "Shen Niangzi" on the left and that "Shen Niangzi" on the right.

Shen Niangzi previously rejected his father's investment, but now she has opened her own shop. If he really does what his sister says, will his father beat him?

Although he also enjoyed Shen Niangzi's cooking, his father's side...
