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

Li Duan carried the food box and went to the county government office.

They ran into Xie, the head of the squad.

When Xie Bantou saw the food box, he knew it came from Zhiweixuan. He had been following Shen Qing's stall ever since the crispy fried chicken, and was already a die-hard fan of Shen Qing.

"So the county magistrate also loves Four Delicacies Soup."

"I must say, Madam Shen's Four Delicacies Soup is truly amazing!"

Li Duan raised an eyebrow. Why is it Four Beauties Soup again?

"You like to eat this too??"

"Yes, I love all of Madam Shen's food. It's absolutely amazing. You wouldn't believe it, Madam Shen used to set up stalls everywhere, very casually. Now that she has a shop, I don't have to worry about not being able to find Madam Shen anymore."

When it comes to the food in Shenqing, Xie Bantou could talk endlessly about it.

Li Duan frowned slightly. Is it really that delicious? Why are all these people acting like they're possessed?

If all else fails... should he try it too?

Li Duan carried the food box into the county government office.

The official documents on his desk were piled up like a small mountain, all waiting for him to process.

When a workaholic sees work, they can't let go of anything else, and their curiosity about the Four Beauties Soup is forgotten.

So he casually put down the food box and plunged into his official duties.

I don't know how much time passed, but the sound of a child crying rang in my ears, growing louder and louder as it approached.

Footsteps sounded outside, and a woman carrying a little girl entered the room.

"Sir, what did you feed Mengmeng yesterday? She won't eat any more food, she's just crying and demanding yesterday's food."

"She also said you were sneaking food in the study. You'd better tell me right now, or I can't stand this little devil causing trouble."

The person who arrived was none other than Wu Cixin, Li Duan's wife.

Wu Cixin was holding her daughter Li Mengmeng in her arms.

"Waaaaah~ Daddy stole some, Mengmeng wants some too~ wants some~"

Li Duan rubbed his temples, his brows furrowing slightly. "Why did you bring the child here? The county government office is no place for crying and making a scene. What kind of behavior is this?"

"I didn't want to either, but Mengmeng just wouldn't stop crying." Wu Cixin said, feeling both helpless and frustrated.

Li Duan sighed and pointed to the food box beside him.

"There she is, hurry up and feed her, then go back quickly."

Upon hearing this, Li Mengmeng immediately stopped crying, her eyes fixed on the food box, tears still clinging to her little face.

This is it! This is the same box I saw yesterday!

We can eat delicious food again!

She struggled to get down from Wu Shu's arms and ran to the food box with her short legs.

"Don't worry, Mother will help you." Wu Cixin took a few steps over and reached out to open the food box.

A plain white porcelain bowl appeared before my eyes, filled with amber-colored soup, some green, some yellow, it was absolutely beautiful.

"Mom, I want to eat, I want to eat!!" Li Mengmeng couldn't wait any longer and kept shouting.

Wu Cixin couldn't help but swallow, thinking to herself, no wonder Mengmeng was clamoring to eat it, just the smell alone is incredibly delicious.

The white porcelain bowl was slightly warm to the touch; the soup hadn't cooled down completely.

Wu Cixin squatted down and scooped a spoonful of food to feed Li Mengmeng.

He couldn't resist scooping up a spoonful and putting it in his mouth.

It was fine until I tried it, but I was completely stunned.

"Good heavens... this soup is actually like this..."

She couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, but for a long time she couldn't find a single word to describe how wonderful the soup was.

"I want more, Mom, I want more!" Li Mengmeng shouted as she reached out to snatch the white porcelain cup from Wu Cixin's hand.

Wu Cixin moved the white porcelain cup aside: "You're too small to hold it, let Mom feed you."

As he spoke, he quickly scooped up another spoonful and stuffed it into Li Mengmeng's mouth.

At the same time, she raised the white porcelain cup directly to her lips and took a large, comfortable gulp.

"Hiss—" I took a deep breath; it was so fresh and fragrant.

It's so delicious, so amazing! How can there be something so delicious in the world?

Although Li Mengmeng was small, her eyes were fixed on the white porcelain cup. When she saw her mother take a big gulp, she immediately objected!

"I want it, I want it!!" she shouted as she reached for the white porcelain cup.

Wu Cixin scooped up another spoonful and put it to Li Mengmeng's lips.

Li Mengmeng opened her mouth subconsciously; she simply couldn't refuse the Four Beauties Soup that was offered to her.

Then, Wu Cixin picked up the white porcelain cup and took a sip.

"mother!!!"

Li Duan couldn't take it anymore and looked up to ask, "Are you serious? Why are you fighting with the child for food?"

"And you're telling me? This smells so good, why don't you bring it home? You always say you're not interested in food, but it turns out you've been secretly eating it behind our backs."

As Wu Cixin spoke, she handed the white porcelain cup directly to Li Mengmeng.

If we don't give it to him soon, this little devil will probably throw another tantrum.

However, there wasn't much left in the white porcelain bowl.

"This was a gift from someone else; I didn't eat it," Li Duan said, frowning.

He was actually quite hungry when he smelled this aroma today, something that had never happened before.

Is this stuff really that delicious?

"You haven't eaten? It smells delicious, you should try some." Wu Cixin turned her head and tried to take the soup from Li Mengmeng's hand back so that Li Duan could have a taste.

Li Duan was also intrigued. After all, so many people had mentioned the Four Beauties Soup to him, and he was naturally curious.

Just as he was about to give it a try, he saw his sweet little girl running away with her short legs.

"That's all, that's all, Daddy can have it next time!!"

Li Duan instantly felt that his old father's heart had been hurt.

Seeing this, Wu Cixin comforted her, "Mengmeng is just greedy. She always talks about you and hopes you'll play with her."

"By the way, where did you buy that soup? I'll go buy a few more."

She herself hadn't had enough to eat and really wanted to have a good, satisfying meal.

"It's in the south of the city, on that most remote street, there used to be a restaurant called Zhiweixuan."

"Zhiweixuan, I'll take Mengmeng to buy it right now!" Wu Cixin was in a hurry to leave.

Li Duan quickly stopped him: "Don't go now. That shop is very busy. By this time, the Four Delicacies Soup must be sold out."

Although he had never seen the scene of crowds of diners in front of Zhiweixuan, he had heard about it.

By this time, they must have already sold out.

Wu Cixin was momentarily disappointed: "Okay, then I'll go again tomorrow."

No matter what, she was determined to enjoy a whole bowl of Four Beauties Soup comfortably!

......

On the first day of the holiday, Shen Qing invited Zhao Wan to go shopping together.

Since traveling to ancient times, she hasn't had a proper chance to explore Ping'an County.

"Sister Shen, there's a shop up ahead with really beautiful clothes! Let's go there together and pick out a few outfits!"

Zhao Wan was jumping around excitedly, her whole body leaping with joy.

Turning his head, he saw Shen Qing staring blankly to the side.

Following her gaze, not far away was a restaurant, Shen's Restaurant.

"Sister Shen?" Zhao Wan was a little worried. She knew that this restaurant was started by Shen's father and was now inherited by Shen Chengzong.

"I'm wondering why this restaurant is so quiet?"

Shen Qing's voice was indifferent, revealing neither joy nor anger.
