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

Upon hearing that he would be given money, he immediately changed his mind and reverted from being Boss Mu back to Uncle Mu!

Mu Xun gave her a look of utter contempt.

Su Wan Ning remained unfazed; making money wasn't something to be ashamed of.

There were quite a few people crowding into the shop, but it wasn't chaotic. The children had been taught beforehand that each child was responsible for a section and would introduce the corresponding food. If someone bought something, the food would be placed in the customer's small bamboo basket.

Anticipating a large number of customers on the first day of business, Su Wanning temporarily removed the chairs, put two tables together, and sold only one product.

Each product is wrapped in oil paper in advance and piled up like a small mountain. The finished product before and after cooking is also displayed and served in small cups for tasting.

Before brewing, you need very clean ingredients and herbs. For example, plum drink contains plums, yellow rock sugar, licorice, hawthorn, etc. Just take it home, add water according to the instructions, and brew it for the required time.

Su Wan Ning wasn't worried that once they bought it and understood what was inside, they wouldn't come back to buy it again.

The selection and proportion of ingredients are very important. Moreover, the most important ingredients in many products are processed, such as being crushed or boiled in advance into small pills in which the original medicinal materials are not visible.

A single pack isn't expensive, only ten coins, and one batch is enough for the whole family to drink for a day.

If you're frugal, you can still get some flavor from drinking it for a couple of days.

Almost everyone who entered the shop bought a few packs, and then paid at the counter. Anyone who bought something also received two loquat candies to soothe their throat.

The process was quick and novel.

Upon arriving at the door, children cheerfully called out to see the guests off, explaining that the shop would be selling "Thousand-Thread Longevity Rolls" the next day, "Huaiyu Steamed Cake" the day after, and "Sweet and Spicy Pork Jerky" the day after that. They said that if you brought oil paper printed with "Wantang Kitchen" on it, you would get one free for every five sheets!

Only then did people notice that the outermost layer of each oil paper package had the four large characters "Wantang Kitchen" printed on it.

The font was exactly the same as the one on the plaque.

Now that I think about it, I only bought two or three portions earlier, but I turned around and went back to the shop because I have to make sure I have five portions.

Although they didn't know about "Huaiyu Steamed Cake" or "Sweet and Spicy Pork Jerky", "Thousand-Thread Longevity Roll" has been very popular lately, and who wouldn't want to try it?

As a result, the items that were originally planned to be sold for a day were sold out by late afternoon.

Those who didn't manage to buy anything were naturally unhappy, complaining that they hadn't prepared more items for the opening.

Su Wan Ning didn't expect it to sell so quickly. Wasn't there a drought? Wasn't it said that every household was starving and thirsty? This is quite a waste of money.

Only after boiling several large pots of rock sugar lily and mung bean drink and plum drink could the person be calmed down.

She temporarily closed the shop, and after asking Mu Xun if the person had any dietary restrictions for the evening, she sent Su Tang to buy some fresh vegetables and meat, while she went into the kitchen to start preparing.

As darkness fell, Mu Xun did not appear; instead, Li Jun arrived.

Xu Lingxi had been busy all day and was just about to take a break when she immediately stood up. "Why are you here?"

The implication is, are you here to cause trouble?

Li Jun: "..."

Li Jun glared at her. "Of course I'm here to congratulate Madam Su on her grand opening! Are you allowed to come but I'm not?"

"Alright, but the tea packets are sold out. You can order a few sets of medicinal cuisine to support us. If you're having dinner with us tonight, it'll be five taels of silver per meal."

Xu Lingxi slumped back into her chair.

"Five taels? You're insane!"

Li Jun shook her head repeatedly, "Fine, I won't eat it then!"

"No, Lady Yun, don't listen to her nonsense. How can we not eat when we're here? We'll all eat together later."

Besides Xu Lingxi, there were also Xie Yan and Su Tang, making a perfect table of young ladies.

Su Wan Ning has prepared hot pot today. "It's a super spicy beef tallow hot pot, prepared according to Miss Xu's request. Shall we try it and see how it tastes?"

The last time the two of them had hot pot, Xu Lingxi kept asking her to make beef tallow hot pot.

But cattle aren't something you can just buy whenever you want. It just so happens that one of the cattle on the estate was injured today, so Xu Lingxi quickly had all the necessary ingredients brought over.

After Su Wanning finished preparing the dishes for Mu Xun, she quickly rendered the butter and stir-fried the chili peppers.

Su Tang used wood ash to wash the cow's stomach and intestines repeatedly.

"Do you need to put in so many chili peppers?"

Li Jun felt a burning sensation in her stomach just looking at it.

"It's okay, it's not spicy. Come and peel the garlic with me, and then we can dip it in minced garlic and sesame oil to relieve the spiciness."

Xu Lingxi took a breath and began to peel the garlic carefully.

Li Jun peeled a few kernels and got annoyed. He slapped his forehead and went back to the stove. "I remember now, I came to deliver a message!"

"What's wrong?"

Just as Su Wan Ning asked the question, Mu Xun walked in from outside with a young man in brocade robes.

"It's him! He said a lot of bad things about you to the matriarch today, insisting that you were kicked out of the palace!"

Li Yun whispered in Su Wan Ning's ear.

Su Wan Ning nodded, recognizing that the person was indeed a "noble person," no wonder Mu Xun valued him so much.

The person who arrived was none other than the sixth prince, who was greatly favored by the emperor. Although he was neither good at literature nor martial arts, he was good at sweet-talking and flattering. Not only the emperor, but also the empress and the concubines in the harem liked him very much.

His mother also rose in rank along with him, initially a lowly concubine, but eventually became a royal consort.

Even if she said or did something wrong, the other concubines were very magnanimous.

Mu Xun had already told the Sixth Prince about Su Wan Ning, and now he led his men straight to the stove. "Wan Ning, this is the Sixth Young Master... Hey? What are you preparing this time? It smells so good!"

The words of advice that were about to be spoken changed completely after seeing the big pot of red and spicy food that Su Wan Ning had cooked.

The sixth prince choked on the food and coughed repeatedly, his eyebrows furrowed so tightly they could trap a fly. "What is all this? Is it edible?"

"This is not something the esteemed Sixth Young Master can eat."

Li Jun didn't know his true identity, only assuming that he was an old friend of the ancestor. The two had met at the ancestor's place that afternoon. But after exchanging a few pleasantries, this man started criticizing Su Niangzi, saying she was really tasteless!

It's truly despicable for a grown man to talk behind people's backs!

That's why he came to complain to Su Wan Ning. He just didn't expect that Su Wan Ning would also come to the shop to freeload. Now he's not holding back when he criticizes others.

The Sixth Prince stared at her for a while, as if only then remembering who she was. He chuckled, "So it's Lady Li, here to complain about me?"

"……I,"

Li Jun stammered, her face turning red.

"Sixth Young Master, please don't misunderstand. We had already arranged to have a small gathering today."

Su Wanning pointed to the butter base in the pot, "This is our base. Your and Uncle Mu's dishes have been prepared."

She winked at Inspector Mu, "Uncle Mu, please have the Sixth Young Master sit down for a moment. The dishes will be ready in no more than fifteen minutes."

"Okay."

Mu Xun swallowed hard before reluctantly leading the Sixth Prince to the table in the corner.

Anyway, he'll have plenty of opportunities to come eat here in the future, so this one won't make a difference.

We still need to appease this young master first.
