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

Fan Xiaolang was soothed by two cups of loquat-infused water.

The shopkeeper and his wife didn't bother them any longer. After exchanging a few more polite words, they left the private room for Su Wan Ning and her group.

The waiter brought out all the dishes the three had ordered, plus many specialty dishes, saying they were a gift from the manager. This time, Su Wan Ning didn't stand on ceremony; after they finished eating, they didn't waste any and took everything back to share with the children.

As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw Li Shi and Lin Mao.

Lin Mao was already lying on the cart, looking like he was about to die. At this moment, Li Shi was also bruised and swollen, leaning against the courtyard gate and groaning.

Su Wan Ning was a little annoyed by them, but it was already dark and the city gates were probably closed, so she had no choice but to walk over and call out "Auntie".

"What's wrong with you all?"

"It's all because of that bastard Feng Shi, who insisted that your brother betrayed us to the Li family! He beat me and your husband up like this! Wan Ning, you have to stand up for us!"

Li wiped away her tears, then craned her neck to look into the yard. "Where's that old beggar? Quickly, tell him to come out so we can see him!"

"He's a miracle doctor."

Su Wanning didn't hold back at all and scolded her directly, "You insulted and abused him. I told you long ago that he is a miracle doctor, but you still acted like this. You made Old Zhao angry and he ran away. If you don't want your uncle's injuries to worsen, you should take him to the clinic as soon as possible. Also, you should have the doctor take another look at your injuries."

"Where would I get any money!"

Li let out a wail, feeling that everything had been going wrong for her lately.

"Where's Jiang Tao'er? Wasn't she calling for her parents? How come you're not doing anything about this serious incident? That's outrageous!"

Su Wan Ning looked furious and took out a dozen or so copper coins from her purse. "I'm out of money too. Aunt, please take these first, and let Jiang Tao'er show her filial piety with the rest!"

"Yeah, that brat hasn't been here lately!"

After receiving the money, Li was also anxious to get Lin Mao treated, so she quickly pushed him away.

The children then emerged from all around, shouting, "Sister, why did you give her money! She was yelling at us for ages!"

"Yeah?"

Su Wan Ning wasn't surprised at all; it would be strange if Li Shi stopped scolding her one day.

"Come on in and have some food."

The children cheered and ran inside, chattering about the latest news they had found.

After sorting through the information, Su Wanning concluded that although the number of refugees had increased recently, there were almost no disturbances.

The next day, Tao Yiyue brought Fan Xiaolang over early in the morning for a cup of loquat tea and a cartload of gifts, which made the neighbors very envious.

After making inquiries, those people learned that such a dangerous incident had occurred at Tongfu Restaurant the day before.

My impression of this Lady Su has gained another layer.

Not only is she skilled at making medicinal cuisine, but she's also quite physically capable!

At the very least, they're incredibly strong!

Otherwise, how could they catch a child falling from a height?

For several days in a row, apart from receiving Tao Yiyue and her daughter, and Mu Xun and his group, Su Wanning spent all her time in the kitchen, focusing on researching the food to sell when the business opened.

In addition to custom-made meals, medicinal cuisine shops also sell ready-made and semi-finished products, but do not serve individual customers.

Otherwise, no matter how strong she is, she wouldn't be able to handle so many things. However, she does sell some regular food items based on the seasons and special holidays, which are buy-and-go.

Xu Lingxi would occasionally come over and help her figure it out.

During this time, Li and Lin Mao remained quiet. They stayed at Jiang Tao'er's house, using the excuse that Jia Bao was not home and that their daughter-in-law had to take care of them.

Jiang Tao'er came once, but was scolded and sent away by Su Wan Ning, so she didn't dare to come again.

Old Zhao never came again.

On April 29th, the night before the shop opened, Su Wanning heard a noise in the courtyard and quickly ran out to see what was going on.

But when they went outside, there was no one in the courtyard. There was only a wooden box on the stone table with several bottles of medicine and a note inside.

[Grand Opening, Nourishing Food from All Directions]

Signed: Zhao Huai-ren.

Su Wan Ning carefully put away the bottles of medicine, which were all very precious and rare. It seemed that Old Zhao had really left this time, and she didn't know when they would meet again.

The next day, a large crowd had already gathered outside the shop to watch the spectacle.

Su Wanning hired a lion dance troupe. As soon as the coins were scattered and the drums sounded, the atmosphere became lively.

"May Li Jiahe Wantang Restaurant open to great fortune, bringing peace and prosperity to the world!"

"Congratulations on the grand opening of Mu Jia He Wan Tang Restaurant! Delicious and nourishing meals!"

"The Meng sisters wish Wantang Restaurant a grand opening and continued success in its mission to benefit humanity!"

"Fan Jinghe's Wantang Restaurant is grandly opening, and customers are flocking in!"

"May Tongfulou Restaurant and He Wantang's Kitchen enjoy great success and abundant wealth!"

The loud chants nearly made everyone's jaws drop. "Who is this shop owner? Could the Li family be the same Li family from Xiushui Village?"

"Don't you know? That young lady who always comes to see Madam Su is from the Li family!"

"Oh dear, you're all missing the point. Do you know about the Thousand-Thread Longevity Pattern Scroll? It was created by this Lady Su!"

Various discussions reached my ears.

Su Wan Ning maintained a faint smile throughout, politely receiving the stewards from various families who came to deliver congratulatory gifts.

When the time came, Xu Lingxi started making a fuss about setting off firecrackers.

"Crackling and popping!"

Su Wanning pulled down the red cloth covering the plaque, revealing the powerful and vigorous inscription on the plaque—

Wantang Kitchen.

This was written by our ancestor himself; outsiders would beg for it if they could.

Su Tang never expected that she could not only establish a female household with her sister, but also have her name appear on the plaque. She was so excited that she could hardly hold back her tears.

They quickly wiped it clean and, together with several children, greeted the guests who rushed in.

Looking at the once-haunted shop now bustling with activity, Mu Xun clicked his tongue in admiration at the young man in brocade beside him, "See that? That's Madam Su—no, we should call her Boss Su now. Her medicinal cuisine is probably one of the best in the entire Rong Kingdom. No wonder the Li family values ​​her so highly."

"Ha, the Li family's ancestor was kept alive until he was forty-five years old."

The young man in brocade scoffed, "If this woman really did as well as you say, how come she was sent back to her hometown?"

"You don't believe me? Ha, I'll take you out for dinner tonight!"

Mu Xun would not allow anyone to fail to see Su Niangzi clearly!

Although this person's identity is not simple, it's only because he has never eaten Su Niangzi's cooking!

The young man in brocade closed his fan. "I've eaten plenty of the rubbish made by those incompetent officials in the Imperial Kitchen, but I'll give you face!"

He turned and left, saying, "I'll come back tonight. I need to go to the Li family first and see that old ancestor!"

Mu Xun had no connection with the Li family and didn't want to go along, so he simply shouted, "Come find me at home later! We'll come together, so don't scare Madam Su!"

"Okay, okay! Enough with the nonsense!"

After finishing his sentence, the young man in brocade robes rode away.

Mu Xun hurried into the shop to help Su Wan Ning greet the guests. He then seized an opportunity to whisper to her, "Miss Su, how about we have a meal together tonight? I have a very important guest!"

"Boss Mu, this is a medicinal cuisine shop."

Su Wanning was already busy enough; she really wanted to throw this troublemaker out!

"Five taels a meal, I'll provide the ingredients. Just tell me what to buy and I'll go buy it right away. That guy is really something, I need to teach him a lesson."

Mu Xun was very sincere.

"Uncle Mu, look at you, you're too kind! Just eat, why bring money and ingredients!"

Su Wanning immediately changed her tune.
