"Hello, this is the meal ordered by Young Master Su."

No one was surprised to see that the food was from a restaurant; after all, she was just a little girl at home, how could she possibly cook?

Furthermore, since everyone isn't here to eat, they naturally don't care whether the food was bought or not.

Just as they were about to sit down, they saw Su Yi carrying out a large basin filled with red oil and sesame seeds, with the vegetables skewered on bamboo sticks.

Guan Chang stared wide-eyed: "Huanhuan, what did you make? It's so red and oily!"

Su Yi glanced at him sideways upon hearing this, "What did you call her?"

Guan Chang was confused. "Huanhuan, isn't that what you call her?"

Liu Huan came out from inside and, upon hearing this, explained, "Anything is fine, you can call it whatever you want. This is a cold pot skewer I made, you can try it."

Changsheng then laid out the fish, and the boys were already prepared to eat something casually later.

Liu Huan, unaware of their thoughts, warmly greeted them after setting everything down, "Everyone, eat up, don't stand there."

Da Shi was the oldest, and everyone treated him with utmost respect, letting him go first, without discriminating against him at all because of his clothes.

Liu Huan naturally sat down to eat as well, and tried a skewer of shiitake mushrooms, which was quite good.

Seeing everyone looking at her, she was still embarrassed and said, "Eat!"

"Oh, oh, oh, eat, eat, eat!"

Only Su Yi knew why they weren't eating, but he pretended not to know and happily ate the skewers himself.

Lian Lou was afraid he would lose face if he didn't eat, so he put a skewer of meat in his mouth and was instantly won over. He then took a skewer of dried bean curd, and the feeling of the soup bursting in his mouth made his eyes light up.

"Huanhuan, this is really delicious."

After saying that, he took another string of them.

The other two, seeing that he didn't seem to be acting, also tried it out.

You won't know until you try it, and once you do, you'll be amazed by the taste—it's absolutely divine!

"Wow, this is so delicious, Huanhuan! How is this made? This is the first time I've ever tasted such an amazing flavor."

It's a bit numbing and a bit spicy, very addictive.

Liu Huan was very happy to see this feedback from everyone; at first, she thought that everyone disliked it.

While they were eating, Guan Chang said very seriously, "Wait a minute."

Everyone was startled by his reaction. Su Yi asked, "What's wrong?"

He frowned as he held the skewers: "How can such delicious food be served without wine?"

Upon hearing this, Changsheng put down his chopsticks. "There are some for sale at the entrance. I'll go buy some."

While waiting, the grilled fish next to them started sizzling and dripping oil. Liu Huan took a bite and thought it was pretty good: "The fish is ready, you guys have a taste."

She has never eaten fish since she came into this world, and there aren't many fish vendors.

Su Yi picked up a slightly browned piece of meat for her, saying, "Don't worry about them, eat it yourself."

Another person said, "That's right, don't worry about us."

Lian Lou reached for the sizzling fish next to him with his chopsticks; it was something he used to never even glance at.

No matter how well it's made, it will still have a fishy smell, so very few people will cook it to eat.

He picked up a piece of tender white meat and put it in his mouth. The taste opened up a whole new world for him.

"Huanhuan, the fish you made is so delicious! How did you do it? Even the fish made by the chef at Juxianlou has a fishy smell."

Upon hearing this, Guan Chang was alarmed and quickly shoveled the food into his bowl, exclaiming, "Wow, it's so hot, but it tastes so good!"

Changsheng bought the wine, and the group sipped it slowly, enjoying it with grilled fish skewers, their faces glowing with health.

The food bought from the restaurant was eaten by Da Shi, Liu Huan, and Chang Sheng. When they were eating the last few skewers, they started arguing.

Guan Chang mumbled incoherently, "Alright, I'll eat the last few, don't try to take them from me."

The others ignored him and each took one, dividing it all up.

Another bluntly said, "Brother Guan, eat less. You've gained weight again this year."

Guan Chang was very proud of himself. "I'm still growing. There's no fat person in my family. I'll definitely grow up to be a handsome man."

As he spoke, he ate all the vegetables from the small pot of fish stew. "This dish is delicious too. It's such a blessing to be a guest at Brother Su's house today."

"I hope you'll come again next time. I'll cook more delicious food for everyone."

Liu Huan knew that the magistrate was the fat man's older brother. Judging from the clothes the three of them were wearing, their family must be very wealthy. She had a bold plan, but it wasn't convenient to talk about it now. She needed to get to know Luo Long first.

"Definitely, definitely. Let me tell you, Brother Su, you're being too unfair. If we hadn't come today, would you have eaten all this delicious food by yourself?"

A group of people made a ruckus until dark before someone came to pick them up from their home. "Brother Su, I'll invite you to my house for dinner another day."

I'm leaving.

Judging from his tone and gait, he was clearly drunk. Luckily, he has a day off tomorrow, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get up.

In contrast, Su Yi acted as if nothing had happened, his face not even turning red. After the meal, Liu Huan didn't care about anything else. Su Yi washed the dishes, and Da Shi, drunk, was helped to bed by Chang Sheng.

I was a little embarrassed when I woke up the next day, "I actually got drunk last night."

Liu Huan smiled and said it was nothing: "Brother, why don't you stay for a couple more days before going back? It's a rare opportunity to come all this way."

Da Shi smiled憨厚ly, "No, I still need to help out at the shop in town."

Liu Huan made a simple meal, and after eating, they took Da Shi to the carriage. "Alright, I'm going back now. Take good care of yourselves. Shi Shi, remember to take good care of Huan Huan."

Su Yi hummed in agreement: "Understood, big brother."

After seeing her older brother off, she returned home to find several uninvited guests at her doorstep. Various grains and vegetables were laid out on the ground, and even more surprisingly, there was beef and seafood that she had never seen before.

The group's laughter was somewhat obsequious, and Su Yi frowned, asking, "What are you doing?"

"We ate a lot of food at Brother Su's house yesterday, so I'm returning the favor by sending some over."

"You're here to bring your elder brother here, why didn't you wait for us?"

"Exactly, that's too formal."

Liu Huan watched them sing and dance quietly. Chang Sheng opened the door, and the group carried their things into the kitchen without any hesitation.

Su Yi kindly reminded him, "Let's make this clear first, we've already eaten, so we're not making any more food now."

The group nodded nonchalantly. "I know, we're not eating now. We came to discuss academic matters with you and plan to have lunch this afternoon before leaving."

The words sounded nice, and Su Yi couldn't possibly kick them out.

Liu Huan washed the fruit they bought and delivered it to them, while she went to prepare the other ingredients.

Su Yi followed them inside. "Just make a few dishes, they're not picky eaters."

Lian Lou nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, we're not picky eaters."

But the look in their eyes suggests there might be a surprise coming, right?

Liu Huan suppressed a laugh and pushed him out: "I know, you go and keep them company, I can handle this."

She wouldn't let this opportunity slip by; if she could win these people over, the cooperation would naturally go much more smoothly.

She also craved seafood. She loved turning ordinary ingredients into delicious dishes, like magic.

High-end ingredients are often prepared using the simplest cooking methods. Chef Liu is here...
