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

That bowl of jade-like soup had a light and clear broth, revealing what looked like a whole block of snow-white tofu underneath.

Looking at it this way, the skill in carving a piece of tofu to fit perfectly into the soup bowl is quite remarkable, and the taste must be simple and refreshing.

But when Su Wan Ning took a spoonful, everyone realized that it wasn't a piece of tofu at all.

Instead, they are layered tofu slices, resembling silk.

The broth is like the deep sea and blue sky, and the thin and tough tofu slices are like waves and white clouds, rolling and floating. As the soup spoon stirs deeper, the filaments of bacteria that were originally dormant at the bottom of the bowl seem to come alive.

This scene resembles clusters of mushrooms sprouting from the soil in an endless wasteland.

"The mountains and fields are full of the flavor of spring, teeming with life."

Madam Li had already stood up. Although she was old, she could see the vitality in a bowl of soup. Overwhelmed with emotion, she felt her eyes well up with tears. "I thought there was something good about tofu. It turns out that I'm too old and my eyes are failing me."

The ancestors never imagined that Su Wanning's knife skills could be so good.

She couldn't suppress her smile, but she was also curious, "Why did you change it from chicken soup to tofu soup?"

The original order of Sichuan lovage chicken soup was not spicy, so there was no need to change it to such a delicate jade-like soup.

"Reporting to our ancestors, the broth for the Jade Fat Soup is made with the chicken broth we prepared. However, I thought that since the Madam had traveled a long distance, she might easily suffer from acclimatization issues. Eating tofu for the first meal would give her stomach a heads-up and help her adapt to our climate and diet more quickly."

Su Wanning served soup to everyone in turn, saying, "Miss Yun, you should drink more too."

"A bowl of tofu soup, can it really have such a big effect?"

Li Jun was already displeased, and upon hearing this, he felt that Su Wan Ning was provoking him. He immediately scoffed and questioned her directly.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the old ancestor and the madam were both looking at him.

Xu Lingxi couldn't help but laugh. "I understand the principle, but how could Yun'er, who is good at cooking, have forgotten? Tofu is made by the local soil and water, and it is mild in nature. This is a method passed down from generation to generation."

After saying that, he lightly slapped his own mouth.

"Look at me, I grew up in the village and have heard a lot of this nonsense. I forgot that Yun'er is a pampered young lady from a wealthy family. Please don't be offended."

The old lady sensed the barb in Li Yun's words and was quite dissatisfied with her great-granddaughter's performance that evening. She thought that since her skills were inferior, she should just try harder.

They're targeting us at every turn; their hearts are so narrow!

It was the ancestor who smoothed things over, saying that it was his oversight and that he should have made a Mapo Tofu dish for his younger siblings to try.

The moment the words "Mapo Tofu" were uttered, the old lady's interest was piqued again.

The atmosphere warmed up again.

Su Wan Ning also sat down and ate her meal slowly, her eyes once again lightly sweeping over everyone in the room.

There were no abnormalities.

Before the birthday banquet, the most important thing was this family dinner, but it was nothing more than Li Jun coming to provoke them.

Tomorrow's birthday banquet will surely be difficult for the Third Madam. She has made thorough preparations, and now it's just a matter of doing her best and leaving the rest to fate.

So, what exactly was it that Li Xuzhi refused to tell him?

Is someone planning to target me after the birthday banquet?

In any case, we must remain vigilant at all times.

After eating and drinking their fill, Su Wanning and Xu Lingxi went back to the courtyard first.

Xuancao was already waiting. "Madam Su, Madam Li has been settled in."

"Huh? Old Zhao really showed it to her?"

Su Wanning was somewhat surprised.

"What's wrong?" Xu Lingxi was still unaware.

Xuancao, with a complicated expression, carefully recounted how she had taken Li to find Old Zhao.

When the two arrived at the shop, Old Zhao was complaining that Su Tang had cooked a pot of mushy rice, and he was clearly in a bad mood.

But Old Zhao didn't care about appearances and still dressed in tattered clothes.

Before Li could even say a word or introduce him, she immediately became agitated, cursing, "Where did this filthy beggar come from? He's come to my shop to freeload, and he's even insulting the child my child raised..."

That implies that they're standing up for Su Tang because of Su Wan Ning, afraid that the "stinky beggar" will bully people.

She didn't know Old Zhao.

Old Zhao recognized the guy who climbed over the wall in the middle of the night.

He didn't tolerate it and launched into a tirade of scolding, nearly making Li faint with anger.

Xuan Cao quickly pulled the two apart and relayed Su Wan Ning's instructions verbatim, emphasizing even the last sentence perfectly.

Old Zhao chuckled a few times and said he couldn't stand the thief climbing over his niece's wall.

Li also felt that Zhao Lao was not a miracle doctor at all, but a fraudster who was deliberately freeloading at the shop.

Having no other choice, Xuancao took the person to Doctor Qi.

Li's head had a large area of ​​rotten flesh on the back. Doctor Qi immediately said that the rotten flesh should be shaved off. The problem was that this location was very dangerous, and if not handled carefully, it could damage the brain.

Li knew Doctor Qi, and she cried her eyes out, begging him to save her.

Doctor Qi then thought of Old Zhao.

"Huh? And then? You didn't go back to see Old Zhao again, did you?"

Xu Lingxi listened with great interest.

"How could that be? I told you that Li had just had a fight with Old Zhao, and Doctor Qi was so angry that his face turned blue."

Xuancao suppressed a laugh, "They kicked Li out directly, saying they would absolutely not treat her."

Li was both angry and regretful. She went back to the shop to ask Old Zhao for help, but he didn't even open the door. Instead, he ranted about how Li had just scolded and insulted him, which attracted the attention of the neighbors who came to see Li's embarrassing situation.

Li's face turned from blue to white, then white to red, and finally swelled up like a purple eggplant. She ran to a small clinic, and after much pleading and paying several times the price, the clinic finally dared to treat her wound.

"Then I just sent her back to the Lin family."

Xuan Cao looked at Su Wan Ning, "She is absolutely safe and sound."

It was like I was in so much pain I almost died, but I was still breathing.

"Thank you so much, Xuancao. After the birthday banquet is over, come to my shop for some delicious food."

This matter is temporarily settled. The Li family probably won't suspect that the problem lies with the powder at first, but once Lin Mao's wounds begin to rot, they might guess that the problem is with the medicine.

However, they stole it, and I even tried to stop them, so I can't be blamed for it no matter what.

After the birthday banquet, we can go back to the Lin family home to watch the show!

Su Wanning went to bed early.

She slept soundly through the night and devoted herself to overseeing all the ingredients and processes the next day. But she never expected that the problem wouldn't be caused by her own ingredients.

Or rather, the one who got into trouble wasn't themselves at all.
