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

Su Wan Ning's kick sent the wooden bucket crashing into the woman's arms.

The woman not only had a cut on her chin, but her neck was also bright red, and her clothes were soaked and steaming.

"Xuan Cao! Take this woman back to my courtyard first, treat her injuries properly, and tomorrow take her directly to the Ancestor so she can judge for me."

Xu Lingxi's face turned ashen. "This place isn't very big to begin with, and your bucket of water almost ruined my face. This isn't over!"

That's a bit of an exaggeration, but if Su Wan Ning hadn't kicked them, the people busy steaming the longevity rolls would have been badly burned, and everyone around them felt a chill of fear.

Xuancao gagged the man, then picked him up and left.

The manager of the shed quickly cleaned up the mess and reported the incident to Madam Feng.

Madam Feng immediately put down what she was doing and rushed over to comfort her for a while, but she felt both frustrated and scared.

The matter of the longevity peach was just a prelude; she wanted to trap the person in the shed so she could cripple them and vent her anger.

But she never expected that the brat was so alert. Not only was she unharmed, but she also earned the reputation of "bravely rescuing Miss Lingxi." Now that maid is locked up in Xu Lingxi's courtyard. What if she says something she shouldn't say...? She has to think of a solution quickly!

The Feng family arrived quickly and left just as quickly.

The commotion subsided, and thankfully it didn't take too long; the first batch of longevity rolls was cooked.

After removing the pot of longevity rolls from the heat and letting it simmer for a short while, Su Wan Ning finally lifted the lid.

As the heat dissipated, plump, exquisitely crafted longevity scrolls were revealed inside.

Each of the thousand-thread longevity pattern scrolls is nearly the size of a palm, and a picture of pine trees and cranes symbolizing longevity is painted on it in brown, red and other colors. What's even more exquisite is that this picture is raised and three-dimensional!

"So beautiful!"

After the commotion, the curtain was gone, attracting many people who exclaimed in agreement.

Apart from a few people in the kitchen, many people didn't understand why a painting of pine trees and cranes symbolizing longevity was called "Thousand-Thread Longevity Scroll".

Su Wanning then took one and broke it in half.

The strands of dough are clearly visible, not only separate from the dough but also completely separate from each other, truly resembling thousands of silver threads.

"Today, we use this longevity scroll with its thousand-thread pattern instead of a peach, simply to convey a better meaning."

Su Wanning displayed the unfolded scroll with longevity patterns, saying, "A thousand silver threads symbolize ten thousand years of pine, may our ancestors enjoy long life and may their descendants live in harmony. Let us all share in this joy."

"good!"

Xu Lingxi clapped her hands and shouted.

Is this still the same silver-haired curl she knows? It looks so much more sophisticated now!

Su Wanning distributed the first batch of Thousand Thread Longevity Scrolls to the steward and led everyone to get busy again.

The steward first delivered the food to the various masters in the estate, and only then did he begin to take the rest out.

Most of those who come at this hour are here to mooch off someone for the whole day. But when they look at it, it's not a longevity peach, but a steamed bun roll with a flower drawn on it.

Immediately, they started shouting, "Other people's birthday banquets have longevity peaches, what are these?"

"The Li family is certainly not short of money, so why won't they even give us a birthday peach?"

"This thing looks nice, but..."

The man paused halfway through his sentence.

He unwrapped the scroll with the thousand-thread longevity pattern in his hand, and upon seeing the countless threads within, he understood the meaning of the name almost instantly.

The steward raised his voice and echoed.

"A thousand strands of silver thread, a pine tree that lasts ten thousand years; may our ancestors enjoy long and prosperous lives!"

"I've been awarded a scroll with a thousand-thread longevity pattern; may it bring me longevity and good fortune!"

The two sentences, one elegant and one colloquial, amused everyone. After receiving the longevity scrolls, they joined in the fun and sang along loudly.

The shed was bustling with activity for a time.

The first batch was really small, and those who came later didn't manage to get any. They all clamored to see what this rare item was.

Once they got their hands on it and started eating, they couldn't stop showing it off, exclaiming, "It's so refreshing and sweet, it tastes even better than a longevity peach!"

The first bite is not only fragrant with white flour, but also has a rich, sweet flavor!

"Mom! I want more!"

The child sat on a small stool, tilted his head back, and slowly put the food into his mouth, one bite at a time. He finished one quickly and then clamored for more.

This lively scene quickly reached the ears of the ancestors.

The old ancestor also held one, remarking, "These three kids really know how to cause trouble!"

Hey, look at you, you're grinning from ear to ear!

Li Yun also contributed this time, and Madam Li was very pleased. "When I celebrate my birthday, I want these thousand-thread longevity scrolls made too!"

"This is my first time!"

The old matriarch felt full of energy. After leaving the palace, although she helped her younger brother and sister-in-law earn money and build up their family fortune, she always exercised great restraint.

We don't seek innovation, we only seek stability.

As I get older, I become increasingly reluctant to use my brain or hands. When I'm old and frail, I'll just be content with that.

She wasn't blind to Feng's little scheme.

Steaming longevity peaches wasn't too difficult, just a bit tiring. She wanted to see if Madam Su had the perseverance to stick with it.

To her utter surprise, this girl gave her such a big surprise!

She really loved that bull-like energy.

It seems there's no need for her treasured possessions to remain hidden anymore; in a way, they've found a good home.

Su Wan Ning never expected that a scroll with a thousand-thread longevity pattern could have such a great effect.

The curtain in the kitchen was hung up again, and the young women were so busy they barely had time to breathe.

The speed is also getting faster and faster.

The two large stoves were steaming almost non-stop.

But more and more people from the surrounding villages came, many of them having heard that the fresh Thousand-Thread Longevity Rolls were beautiful and delicious, and had come specifically for this purpose.

Su Wanning and the others: "..."

The flour that had been prepared was all used up, so the steward was asked to fetch several more bags from the storeroom. They were busy until the end of the afternoon before they finally stopped.

With four or five hundred left over as a backup for the afternoon and evening, the group dragged their weary bodies back to the village.

Su Wan Ning wanted to make a birthday cake for her ancestor, but was forcibly dragged down to wash up and rest.

She almost fell asleep after soaking in the hot water. Her legs were so sore they were trembling, so she quickly washed up and lay down on the bed to sleep. When she woke up, it was already dark.

She quickly got up and dragged Xu Lingxi towards the kitchen.

Then he was kicked out by the kitchen staff.

"The ancestors told you to rest; you're not allowed to go into the kitchen today."

The two had no choice but to enter the old woman's courtyard, where there was laughter and chatter, as well as Li Jun's boasting.

"You have to use a little force when making those longevity-patterned rolls. If you press too hard, the dough strands inside will stick. I couldn't do it well at first, but I got the hang of it later."

Li Jun caught a glimpse of the two out of the corner of her eye, her voice trailed off, and her face flushed slightly.

Xu Lingxi muttered something under her breath, then whispered to Su Wanning, "This was your idea, and she's lying here..."

"Shhh."

Su Wanning squeezed her hand.

She was just a little girl of about ten years old, and she could understand Li Jun's thoughts.

According to Madam Li, Li Yun had loved cooking and was good at it since childhood, and had always taken care of Madam Li's meals. It was normal for her to be somewhat hostile when she first came here and met such a "troublesome person" as herself.

Even if it's using the Grand Madam's name to deliberately provoke someone, it's still perfectly legitimate.

Today I made longevity scrolls with her again. In the hot kitchen, she didn't complain or get tired, and she persevered until the end, which was really commendable.

It's just that some children are too temperamental to care about anything.

It's a hundred times better than Lin Yuwei, that ruthless and vicious snake who poisons you from time to time behind your back!

Most importantly, she made the Thousand-Thread Longevity Scroll today not just to save the day, nor just for herself.
