The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

Murong Yan desperately wanted Su Qianqian dead.

Even if Miss Su dies, she will still be the leading lady of this world, and no one can compare to her.

"Father, are you afraid?"

Unfortunately, the provocation tactic was ineffective against the old fox Murong Fu.

Instead, Murong Fu saw through her emotional decision-making.

"Yan'er, you should no longer interfere in the matter between Zhaixing Tower and Gu's Restaurant. Your main task now is to take advantage of the Seventh Prince's presence in the capital and cultivate a good relationship with him."

Murong Fu is not afraid of that Miss Su. The reason he hasn't sent anyone to assassinate her is because he's afraid of offending the Western Xia.

Although Western Xia was just a small country, its empress could summon poisonous snakes, and its national advisor was extremely skilled and proficient in evil arts.

As long as the Grand Preceptor of Western Xia is alive, no one will dare to touch Western Xia.

Although the Murong family has deep roots, it cannot simultaneously incur enmity with both the Great Qi and the Western Xia.

The five great families are powerful in the Great Qi Dynasty, not only because of their wealth, but also because of their military strength.

When the Great Qi Dynasty was first established, it was poor and weak. In order to gain the support of the powerful families, it was tacitly agreed that the five major families could privately raise troops, with a limit of 10,000.

However, the imperial court could not obtain an exact number of soldiers supported by the five great families.

The Murong family actually had nearly 50,000 elite troops, scattered across various cities in the Great Qi.

After returning home, Murong Fu sat in his study until dawn without sleeping.

He heard from his scout that Gu's Restaurant had posted a notice today, looking to hire waiters.

This was a great opportunity, and Murong Fu decided to send someone to infiltrate Gu's Restaurant.

With an inside accomplice, stealing secret formulas or poisoning would be extremely convenient.

Early in the morning, in the backyard of Gu's Restaurant.

After washing up, Su Qianqian's maternal uncle, Gu Huai, immediately put three incense sticks into the bronze cauldron.

"Thanks to our ancestors' blessings, the Zhaixinglou, which has been around for hundreds of years, is now deserted, but our Gu Ji restaurant is thriving. Our Gu Ji brand is now very famous in the capital."

More than a hundred years ago, the Gu family's ancestor was a royal chef who also ran a restaurant in the capital of the Great Qi Dynasty, but was forced to move to Qinghe County by Zhaixinglou.

The Murong family was ruthless and assassinated almost half of the Gu clan. To protect their descendants, the ancestor forbade them from seeking revenge against the Murong family, because the Murong family was too powerful and seeking revenge would be tantamount to suicide.

But now, Gu's Restaurant has finally regained its pride.

This is something I never dared to dream of.

Gu Huai clasped his hands together, very devoutly: "It's all thanks to Qian Yatou. It was Qian Yatou who turned the tide for the ancestors. The ancestors must bless Qian Yatou with a long and healthy life."

Gu Huai's wife, Qin, quickly spat out a word of protest. "Husband, don't talk nonsense. Even if the ancestors don't bless her, Qian'er will still live past a hundred. Ancestors, you must bless Qian'er to live to be two hundred years old."

Even while eating breakfast, Gu Huai did not forget the hatred between his ancestors and the Murong family.

He said to his daughter Gu Ying, "Yingzi, thanks to you selling yourself for money to save Qianya, our Gu family has finally crushed Zhaixinglou and brought glory to our ancestors."

The Qin family, on the other hand, was very busy.

Although his son Gu Yun was far away in Pengcheng, many people were trying to arrange marriages for him.

Several of the girls were daughters of officials, and Qin Shi couldn't make up her mind. She planned to listen to Qian Yatou's suggestion and let Gu Yun choose for himself later.

Thinking back to the days when he was setting up a stall on the street, exposed to wind and rain, he wholeheartedly agreed with what Gu Huai said.

That's right. It was thanks to Yingzi selling herself as a maid that she saved Qianya. Otherwise, the whole family would still be setting up a roadside stall under the scorching sun.

Empress Ji Wu of Western Xia especially loved red bean double-skin milk.

Ever since Gu Ji Restaurant launched this new product, Ji Wu has eaten a bowl of it with every meal.

Of course, she didn't queue up herself; her guards queued up for her. Just when it was almost her turn, the Empress of Western Xia arrived with the Imperial Preceptor.

Upon entering the lobby of Gu's Restaurant, Ji Wu smiled and said to the Imperial Advisor, "Many people are hoping for your death, so please don't die!"

If the Grand Preceptor dies, the cunning Southern Yue royal family will surely seize the opportunity to attack Western Xia.

"If you run out of money for peaches later, remember to ask me for it. Grand Preceptor, I've noticed you've gained weight recently, that's quite rare."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

Although the Imperial Advisor was still as thin as a sheet of paper, he had indeed gained weight; he had weighed himself and found he had gained more than two pounds.

Perhaps God did not allow such a heaven-defying existence and wanted to take his life. Over the years, his health deteriorated and his weight decreased. He saw countless famous doctors and ate countless precious herbs, but nothing worked.

This is the first time my weight has rebounded, which is a good sign.

These are all benefits of the peaches grown by Miss Su.

During this time, he bought peaches from every street and alley in the capital, but none of them could compare to the delicious peaches grown by Miss Su.

It must be admitted that the little girl has unique skills.

His lifespan now rests entirely on Miss Su's peaches, but unfortunately, the peach season is almost over.

His life was probably destined to end.

So while you're alive, enjoy the good things in life to the fullest. If you like eating at Gu's Restaurant, come and eat there every day.

The Imperial Advisor dined in the main hall on the first floor, while Ji Wu went to a private room on the second floor of Gu's Restaurant.

Ice cubes were placed in all four corners of the private room, making it very cool, even cooler than staying in the Sifangguan.

Ji Wu dismissed the maid, removed her veil, and began to eat red bean double-skin milk pudding, bite by bite.

After making this red bean double-skin milk pudding, I put it in an ice cellar for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. It tastes cool and refreshing when you eat it.

Although it wasn't my first time eating double-skin milk pudding, I still felt a lot of emotions.

I never imagined that milk could be used to make such delicious desserts.

The Western Xia Kingdom raised a large number of cattle and sheep, and Ji Wu grew up eating dairy products and had a special fondness for them.

The reason she sent the maid away was that although her face had improved a lot, the only person she could face with composure after removing her veil was Miss Su.

Even her personal maid was afraid of her face, but Miss Su treated her like a normal person. Only Miss Su could remain calm and composed after seeing her face.

Therefore, Ji Wu felt most relaxed when she was with Miss Su, especially when she was called Miss Ji, which made her feel very close to her.

If Miss Su were willing to go to Western Xia with her, that would be wonderful.

Ji Wu had someone summon Su Qianqian.

"Miss Su, I would like to buy the recipe for red bean double-skin milk pudding. Our royal family has many businesses in Western Xia."

Ji Wu had thought it would be quite a hassle to buy the secret recipe, but to her surprise, Miss Su agreed so readily.

"Alright, Miss Ji, but we must stipulate in the contract that you cannot use this formula outside of Xixia, nor can you resell or give it away to others."

Double-skin milk pudding isn't actually that difficult to make; it's simply a mixture of egg whites and milk, steamed together.

Even if she doesn't sell the formula, others will figure it out sooner or later.
