ivolity. 。"Fellow warriors, I apologize for the delay." 。"The lady is too kind " 。Li Lao Si and others returned the courtesy, inviting them to sit on the large stone. 。The woman smiled and spoke firs...The steward smiled and said, "Madam, this is a good thing! It shows that many people care for the young lady. Besides, there are several young masters in the family who can accompany her to eat."

"The princess has always been generous. She wouldn't miss a bite of sweets and snacks even for an old servant like me, let alone her own flesh and blood brother. I reckon that by sharing the food, the princess would find it even more delicious!"

It has to be said, the head steward is truly adept at navigating social intricacies in managing the Hou residence on a daily basis.

A few words and the old lady and everyone in Li's family started to smile!

Jia Yin and her brothers were playing in the yard. Hearing a noise, they ran out excitedly.

The Butler saw her holding the sticky rice dumpling and immediately felt sorry for her. He quickly put down what he was doing, rushed forward, and hugged her.

"Oh my, Miss! How did you get so badly injured I thought it was just a small cut!"

Jia Yin grinned happily, the other hand patted the butler's back, "Butler, I don't hurt at all, Grandma said it will be fine soon."

"Yes, yes, just a moment. Our little Miss is such a good child, she's blessed by all the gods and goddesses, she'll be fine in the blink of an eye."

The head steward was genuinely worried. He wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but he felt like the young master had lost weight. It must have been from losing too much blood.

Patch, gotta patch it quick, do your best to patch!

The Hou Mansion's storeroom probably still has some bird's nest. I'll go back and get it later!

Li Zhensheng and Li La Er didn't know what the head steward was thinking. They smiled and invited him into the house for tea, then sat down to talk.

The steward opened a box of refreshments and presented it to the young master. I have to say, the pastries from the Imperial Kitchen are exquisite just looking at them.

Jia Yin called for He Mamá to wipe her uninjured hand, then she ran back and forth in the house, distributing snacks to her grandmother, second uncle, and the head steward, before finally joining her brothers to enjoy the sweet treat together.

Everyone couldn't wait to eat the snacks, their hearts were already filled with sweetness. Such a considerate little chubby girl was really adorable, she was so lovable that you wouldn't even mind having her stare at you.

The steward glanced at the dried fish in the courtyard and inquired of Li Zhensheng.

"I heard the master's fleet arrived, so these fish were brought back on the ship"

"Yeah," Li Zhensheng nodded, frowning slightly, "The weather is too hot, and buying ice is expensive. Most of the fish and shrimp almost died on the way."

The chief steward quickly advised, "There's no way around it. With such a long distance, if the seafood wasn't damaged during transport, how could it possibly sell for such a high price"

Li Zhensheng smiled, "The steward is right. When my restaurant reopens the day after tomorrow, if the steward has nothing to do, be sure to come and try something fresh. This time I invited a chef from the south who specializes in seafood cooking, his skills are quite impressive."

"Alright, at that time this old servant will definitely go to cheer on the master."

Jia Yin held a piece of pastry in her hand, nibbling on it slowly while secretly listening to the conversation around her. She couldn't help but wonder what they were talking about.

In my past life, when I was idle and had nothing to do, I read a lot of online novels. Among them, "Nitrification Makes Ice" was almost written to death by the author.

She was curious and bored in the mountains, so she did an experiment.

It took a lot of effort to get this small pot of ice.

Then I took a look at the refrigerator at home and gave up decisively!

But the way to make ice with saltpeter, she remembered clearly.

Perhaps you could take it out and give it to Uncle.

When there are enough ice cubes, can seafood be transported freely

Isn't that silver flowing like water, gushing into the Li family

The crowd was buzzing with excitement, but the chubby girl, smiling foolishly, had already eaten all the snacks until they tasted like silver.

The steward hurried off to find supplements, saying a few words before taking his leave.

Li Laoer couldn't wait and told the jokes from the Sun family to his own people, which indeed made everyone laugh.

But after all, Li's wife brought her daughter and was finally able to be taken in by Sun Sizhen.

After laughing, everyone dismissed it and stopped paying attention.

The old woman was just about to continue sun-drying fish when her grandson came back.

The past few days, the city's restaurants have been thoroughly refurbished inside and out. He followed the chefs brought back from the south as they learned to cook seafood.

This cook is Li Zhen's bought-and-sold person, so there's no thought of keeping secrets. He's practically an open book.

Jiā huān is willing to endure hardship, studies earnestly, and even lives directly in the inn's backyard.

Last night he missed his parents and went back to Lu'an for a visit. This morning, he hurried back here because Mr. Peng helped him arrange the household registration for Jia Anjia Xi and Mao Ge'er's enrollment.

But before he could announce the good news, upon entering the house, he immediately saw his sister's injured hand.

The honest and hardworking lad immediately reddened his eyes, "Who hurt Fu Niuer's hand"

The old woman grabbed her grandson's hand and quickly said, "Don't worry, your sister accidentally cut her hand two days ago, it will be fine soon."

Jia Yin also hurried forward, hugged her brother, and tried to change the subject.

"Second brother, can Funiu go to study with the older brothers The master and mistress both said that Funiu is smarter than her brothers!"

Jia embraced his sister, carefully examining her wounded hand. He made sure there was no blood on the bandages and his face looked a little better.

"You silly girl, the academy is full of boys. What are you doing here Stay home and play with grandma. When your second brother learns a new dish, he'll come back and cook it for you."

"Well," Jiayin pouted, seeming displeased.

While coaxing her younger sister, Jiāhuān turned to her grandmother and said, "Grandma, when will my brothers be able to attend the academy I'll tell Mr. Pēng about it when I get back."

The old woman thought for a moment, then said, "The restaurant will open soon, and then there's the Mid-Autumn Festival. So let's make it the seventeenth day after the festival. I'll personally send them off. By then, Funiu'er's hand should be almost healed, so we can take her out for a change of scenery."

“Alright, I’ll go tell Mr. Peng. Also, my father has found a courtyard, not far behind the shop. We've already paid a deposit and tomorrow we're going to the government office to change the deed. When it's done, Grandma should come take a look at the new place and stay for a few days.”

It's only been a few days since Jia Huan moved to the big restaurant, and he has already become more talkative. He seems more mature now as well.

The old woman was delighted and laughed, “When you leave later, take the betrothal gifts for the Peng family with you. After all, it’s a new kinship, don’t be lacking in etiquette. Let your mother have a good look and add anything that’s missing. Don't be stingy.”

"Alright, Grandma. The Peng family's gift arrived at the shop yesterday, and my mother is worried about what to reply with."

Jia Huan agreed, and seeing his grandmother calling for He MaMa to pack the festival gifts, he took his younger siblings to play.

With Xiao Wa, a little chatterbox cat, around, it's really easy for anyone to find out anything they want.

When he heard that his sister wasn't hurt on purpose by someone else, he eased a few points of anger, but he still felt heartbroken.

While the family wasn't paying attention, he took a silver coin from his pocket and secretly slipped it to his sister.

"Little Funiu, obediently take the money to buy some delicious food."

Jiayin clutched the silver fragments, guessing that this must be what her brother had been saving up to buy something for Peng Jie.

But if it's just given like that, what will the older brother use to coax his wife

She thought about it for a moment, then struggled to her feet and ran back into the house.

When she came out again, she held a paper parcel in her hand and stuffed it into her brother's arms with all her might.

"Second brother, take a look on the road. This is Fu Niuer's return gift for you."

Jia Huan thought his little sister had given him his favorite snacks, so he didn't refuse. He smiled and ruffled her hair.y and everyone else down with me. You shouldn't blame me; I'm already very happy."“Alright, alright!” The fat classmate stopped them from their back-and-forth greetings and said, “Instead of all this...
