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

Not only were Wang Chunhua and her husband puzzled, but everyone else was too, especially as the sound of gongs and drums grew closer.

A moment later, a joyous procession appeared before them.

Thump, thump, thump, thump

Two lions, stepping to the beat of drums, walked step by step from the street corner. With each step, their paws lifted, and their bodies undulated, just like real lions.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the lion dancer was wearing a lion skin, lantern pants, and golden claw boots.

Beside the lion is the lion handler, dressed as a martial arts performer, holding an embroidered ball in his hand, constantly teasing the lion.

All around were musicians playing gongs and drums, each one giving it their all.

"Why are they coming this way?" Wang Chunhua was shocked. It had been a long time since this quiet street had seen such a lively scene.

"Could it be that the girl next to us invited them?" Wang Chunhua's husband, Wang Erzhu, guessed.

But his face was full of doubt; clearly, he felt that his guess was simply unbelievable.

"No way..." Wang Chunhua muttered to herself.

But the lion dance troupe was getting closer and closer, clearly heading towards Zhiweixuan.

"Madam Shen, you even hired a lion dance??" a diner couldn't help but ask.

After all, Shen Qing didn't seem like the kind of person who would hire a lion dance troupe.

She has always been calm and composed, extremely confident in the food she makes, and never bothers with fancy tricks.

Shen Qing shook her head: "I didn't invite you."

But recalling Zhao Wan's expression earlier, she had a vague guess in her mind.

Logically speaking, Zhao Wan shouldn't have missed her opening today.

Could this lion dance really have been orchestrated by her?

In a short while, the lion dance troupe arrived in front of Zhiweixuan.

The lions seemed to put in even more effort, each one putting on a show, doing somersaults and chasing balls, as if they were going to use all their special skills.

At the very back of the line were Zhao Cheng and Zhao Wan.

"Little sister, you're worried about Madam Shen's business? Look, even if we didn't come, her door is still packed with people." Zhao Cheng couldn't help but say, looking at the crowded people.

I thought their lion dance was a lifesaver, but now it seems more like icing on the cake.

Zhao Wan pouted: "It's alright. With the lion dance team, more people will definitely come to Sister Shen's shop to buy food."

Sure enough, Sister Shen is amazing wherever she goes.

Although the lion dance troupe didn't help much, they at least added some excitement.

"If you ask me, let's hurry up and buy a seat. There are so many people now, if we're late, we might not be able to get the Four Delicacies Soup today." Zhao Cheng was only thinking about eating.

He also brought a large group of young masters, who are all standing here now.

It was all Zhao Wan's request.

"Yes, yes, brother, hurry up and buy seats. Let's each get one, and buy about thirty seats." Zhao Wan said excitedly.

These thirty orders were the business she helped Sister Shen secure!

Zhao Cheng raised his hand and pinched Zhao Wan's cheek: "Little sister, look how happy you are. This was all paid for with our family's money."

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Zhao Wan pushed Zhao Cheng forward.

She skipped and hopped to the front, calling out to Shen Qing, "Sister Shen, what do you think of this lion dance troupe?"

His face was full of pleading for praise.

Shen Qing smiled and said, "It really was you who started this. This has made things quite lively. Thank you so much."

Three sentences instantly made Zhao Wan feel relieved.

Sure enough, she didn't hire the lion dancer for nothing; Sister Shen said it was all thanks to her.

Zhao Wan smiled radiantly, just like a flower in spring.

Just then, Zhao Cheng finished buying his seats and stood at the very front, jokingly asking, "Madam Shen, I'm buying thirty bowls, is there a discount?"

"Sure, I'll give you one of the twenty-nine bowls as a gift," Shen Qing said, then added, "It's especially for A-Wan."

"Thank you, Sister Shen!!" Zhao Wan was even happier when she heard this, and she almost jumped up.

Zhao Cheng curled his lips. Good heavens, he hired the lion dance, he brought those young masters, and he even paid for the Four Beauties Soup. In the end, all the benefits went to his little sister.

Never mind, he's the older brother, I won't argue with a little girl.

After a long while, the Zhao siblings finally received the Four Delicacies Soup.

Zhao Cheng first tentatively took a small sip, and instantly, he relaxed completely, picked up the bowl, and gulped it down in one go.

"ah--"

"That was awesome!"

He then turned directly to Shen Qing and said, "Madam Shen, I'd like another bowl!"

Seeing Zhao Cheng's expression, Zhao Wan knew that this Four Beauties Soup was definitely extraordinary. She scooped a spoonful and put it in her mouth, and she was instantly stunned.

Goodness, even though I was mentally prepared, this taste...

It tasted even better than she had imagined!

"Good heavens! I hereby declare that Sister Shen is the goddess who controls culinary arts!"

......

The sounds of gongs and drums echoed throughout the street, even reaching the bustling market street outside.

Everyone loves a good time, and many people, hearing the commotion, flocked to the street where Zhiweixuan was located.

The steward of the Yan family was out on business today and happened to come across this bustling street.

Hearing the noise, he couldn't help but want to take a look.

So they followed the crowd to the entrance of Shen Qing's Zhiweixuan restaurant.

"I've heard from others that the Four Delicacies Soup sold here is incredibly delicious; the taste is heavenly!"

"It smells so good! It's an absolute delicacy, one that's hard to find anywhere else in the world. I have no regrets in this life if I can taste this!"

"I want a bowl of Four Delicacies Soup!!"

"..."

All the sounds from the surroundings flooded into Steward Yan's ears. These sounds were either praising the taste of the Four Delicacies Soup or scrambling to buy it.

In any case, the crowd here was in a frenzy.

This piqued Butler Yan's curiosity.

Steward Yan's real name is Li Xian. He has been a servant in the Yan family since childhood. Later, he was given the surname Yan by his master and has been the steward for more than ten years.

As a butler, he had eaten countless delicacies at the Yan residence and was somewhat picky about food.

But seeing this group of crazy people today piqued his interest.

Yan Xian simply joined the queue; once you're curious, you want to try it.

Since the Four Beauties Soup received so much praise, it must be extraordinary.

As the procession moved forward, Yan Xian could already smell the aroma of the Four Beauties Soup.

This fragrance is an extremely complex one, as if it comes from the mountains and forests, from the water, as if it comes from the rivers, but upon closer inspection, it also seems to come from the sea.

The four layers of fragrance are layered together, making it impossible not to immerse yourself in them.

Even someone as knowledgeable as Yan Xian couldn't help but swallow hard at this moment.

The line moved forward little by little, and after a while, it was finally Yan Xian's turn.
