My whole family sucked my blood; after being reborn, the little cook went on a killing spree.

As soon as Mu Xun entered the shop, he smelled the sweet aroma of rice.

I felt completely refreshed. "Lady Su, what did you make that smells so good?"

"It's Huaiyu steamed cake. It needs to be steamed for another 15 minutes, otherwise it will be undercooked and make your stomach feel uncomfortable after eating it."

Su Wanning pointed to the tea on the table, "Have some mint chrysanthemum tea first, then eat the steamed cake before having dinner."

The steamed cake smells delicious, but where is the chili aroma?

Mu Xun was not happy about it. "I've already eaten steamed cake, how can I have room for your medicinal cuisine?"

"Steamed cake is a type of medicinal food. You ate so much spicy food before, your stomach has been burned. The Chinese yam and poria in the steamed cake can nourish the spleen and stomach, while lily can refresh and moisturize, relieving irritability and anger caused by excessive heart fire."

Su Wanning was very patient in explaining the guests' questions.

Actually, Huaiyu steamed cake was the first recipe that Li Shi had tricked out of her in her previous life. She said she had a poor appetite and wanted to eat soft and delicious steamed cake, so Li Shi told her the recipe in detail. Lin Yuwei must have been very happy to receive the recipe at that time.

It's a pity, things will be different in this life.

"This little steamed cake is amazing?"

Although it was a question, Mu Xun already believed it to some extent.

These past two days, I've only followed Su Niangzi's advice and had the family cook make lots of winter melon and tofu dishes, and I've also drunk chrysanthemum tea. I feel that the heat has indeed subsided a bit.

This steamed cake must be delicious too.

He thought of his wife and children at home, "Could I take some back with me?"

"The other basket is for you to take home. Half of it will be for dinner, and the other half will be for the kids at home to try."

Mu Xun found this quite pleasing.

Su Wan Ning began mixing the ingredients and steaming the next batch.

Grind dried Chinese yam into powder, sift it repeatedly, and add appropriate medicinal herbs.

Mu Xun kept saying how troublesome this thing was, and he was also very curious.

"Just this little bit of Poria cocos?"

"Too much medicine would make it too strong."

"Just this little bit of maltose?"

"Too much is too much."

"Then why add candied dates?"

"Because jujubes can neutralize the medicinal properties."

Su Wanning didn't hide anything and answered with a smile.

Now that this pot is steaming, the previous pot has also been steaming for just the right amount of time.

Lifting the steamer lid reveals neatly arranged flower-shaped steamed cakes. The milky-white cakes are smooth and delicate, with a layer of light yellow jujube sheen on top, making them even more adorable and delightful.

The steam and aroma of the steamed cake quickly filled the entire shop and drifted away on the wind.

After giving Mu Xun three pieces of food, Su Wan Ning started cooking.

The staple food is brown rice and yam and millet porridge. The main dishes are braised bamboo shoots with chili peppers and stir-fried tender asparagus sprouts. The side dishes are stir-fried eggs with shepherd's purse and candied lotus root slices, as well as a bowl of reed root, lily bulb and lean pork soup.

An extra small dish of mushroom and meat sauce was added, with lots of chili peppers and a layer of red oil on top.

Immersed in the soft, fluffy, and sweet steamed cake, Mu Xun's mouth immediately watered. "Oh no, I ate too much steamed cake!"

"Objective achieved."

Su Wan Ning smiled slyly and handed him a bowl and chopsticks. "Eat."

Mu Xunwei looked aggrieved, and as he put a piece of bamboo shoot in his mouth, tears welled up in his eyes.

The bamboo shoots were infused with the aroma of chili oil. With a gentle bite, they burst with juice, the freshness of the mountains and the spiciness of the chili instantly sweeping over the lips and tongue, washing over the taste buds like waves.

"So spicy, so fragrant, so refreshing!"

In the past, the chili peppers we used to put in our food were simply for the sake of being spicy.

But Su Niangzi's chili dishes blend perfectly with the ingredients, which is true gourmet food and the right way to eat chili peppers!

Mu Xun wanted to cry. What kind of miserable life had he lived before? After the medicinal meal, he still wanted to eat at Su Niangzi's shop, and he wanted to bring his wife and children with him!

After settling Mu Xun in, Su Wan Ning picked up a few steamed buns and gave them to Mu Xun's servant. "These were just steamed this morning, with radish filling. Try a few. There's also chrysanthemum tea. It's very hot now, so have some too."

"Oh, thank you, Madam Su."

Changshun was surprised to find that he had food for himself. He kept bowing and thanking them. When he took the bun and tasted it, he was surprised to find that it was filled with meat!

At home, we usually just stir-fry dried radish shreds with some pork cracklings and salt, and it's enough to eat with rice. Steamed dumplings are also made with a mixture of bran flour and coarse wheat flour, kneaded and steamed—simple but not very tasty.

These buns not only have minced meat in them, but also small pieces of cooked meat, all glistening with oil! They smell so good!

Changshun ate with great relish.

Jiang Tao'er, who had just stepped into the South Street River Estuary, was in a low mood.

That day, Bao Ge clearly said that Su Wan Ning would come home injured, which is why she went to take care of her. But what happened? She was fed a mouthful of mudfish! Not only that, she was perfectly fine, but Bao Ge ended up owing her an IOU, and the house was nowhere to be found.

No, she has to think of something!

As she was pondering this, she smelled a fragrant aroma.

It has a faint sweetness, a strong fragrance, and a strange smell!

"Ahem!"

Jiang Tao'er couldn't help but cough twice, and followed the fragrance for a few steps.

Surprisingly, the door to the haunted house that no one had bought was open, and a woman was busy working at the stove inside.

Upon closer inspection, she exclaimed in surprise, "Su Wanning? It's you?"

She stormed into the shop, glanced at the table full of dishes, and became even angrier. "Your uncle is dying, and instead of staying home to take care of him, you're here cooking for someone else?"

"Why don't you serve your father? What are you doing meddling in other people's business?"

Su Wanning, whose peace and quiet had been disturbed by Jiang Tao'er, retorted without any politeness.

"I'm not married yet, so stop talking nonsense."

Jiang Tao'er panicked and quickly tried to distance herself from the situation.

Otherwise, if these words really got out, how could I possibly save face?

"So you knew they weren't married? Then why did you call my aunt 'Mother'? And why are you here trying to get justice for my uncle?"

Su Wan Ning took a few steps forward, her tone contemptuous, "Who do you think you are!"

Jiang Tao'er was forced to retreat.

Her face flushed red, and she looked aggrieved. "You! How could you scold me? I'm doing this for your own good! Everyone in Shili Village knows that something happened to Bao Ge's family. They've raised you for so many years, and instead of taking care of you at a time like this, you've run off..."

She glanced at Mu Xun a few times, her gaze pointed, "Could it be that you're looking to find a better match because the Lin family is in debt?"

"You're such a good actor, why don't you become an actor?"

Su Wan Ning scoffed, then reached out and pinched something in mid-air. "If you don't want to eat, then get lost."

"you!"

Jiang Tao'er immediately recalled the day she was fed loaches, and a wave of nausea surged up within her. "You just wait!"

She was both angry and scared, so she turned and ran, yelling at Mu Xun, "Eating food made by an ungrateful wretch like that, aren't you afraid of choking to death!"

"You silly girl..."

Mu Xun had barely begun to speak when Jiang Tao'er had already run far away.

He exclaimed in surprise, "What did you mean by that? Why did you scare them away?"

"Oh, she did something mean to me before."

Su Wanning briefly explained the matter of the loach wontons.

"sharp!"

Mu Xun was impressed; he had never seen such a stubborn young woman before!

She can make medicinal cuisine and has a straightforward personality. This shop is sure to be a hit. I should definitely befriend her.

Thinking this, he spoke very honestly, "From now on, Madam Su, please don't call me Manager Mu anymore. It sounds too formal. If you don't mind, just call me Uncle Mu."

Su Wanning was somewhat surprised, "You heard all the things Jiang Tao'er said to me, you don't mind?"

"She's stupid, but I'm not."

Mu Xun smiled.
