Chapter 81 The Glass Pavilion Adds a New Food: Hamburgers

The book was as big as her hand. She flipped through it for a long time, and just when she thought she had gained nothing, she saw the last page and saw a picture that looked very familiar.

Shen Pingjin frowned as she looked at it; this wasn't...

Last time I dined with Mr. Qin at Zuixianglou, I saw spicy crayfish on the menu.

Shen Pingjin flipped through the autobiography in her hand in surprise. Wait a minute, this is what her mother left her.

Then why... does Young Master Qin also know about this spicy crayfish?

Could it be that Mother knows this Young Master Qin?

Shen Pingjin's mind was in turmoil. Young Master Qin looked to be only around twenty years old, while her mother had been over thirty when she passed away. With such a significant age difference, how could they possibly know each other?

Shen Pingjin became increasingly confused, especially after thinking about her promise to Lu Qingjia. She decided that perhaps she could visit the Glass Pavilion and ask Young Master Qin for clarification.

Shen Pingjin has always been a person who acts on her words. She first put away the brocade, and then immediately went to the next room and pulled Lu Qingjia out.

Lu Qingjia was half asleep on the soft couch, still dreaming of his sister, when he felt something tugging at his sleeve. He opened his eyes impatiently, only to find his sister's figure right in front of him.

Lu Qingjia was startled. Her voice, still a little childish from just waking up, asked, "Sister?"

Shen Pingjin responded softly. Lu Qingjia was a little confused. "Sister, weren't you asleep? Why did you suddenly wake up?"

Shen Pingjin replied, "After thinking it over, I still think it's more important to take you out to play first."

Lu Qingjia's eyes widened instantly. "Sister, are you going to take Jiajia away now?!"

"Yes, would Jiajia like to come with her sister?"

How could Lu Qingjia refuse? He immediately nodded and rolled to his feet.

Shen Pingjin was amused by his appearance.

Lu Qingjia chubby up from the soft couch and stood on the ground with a proud look on his face. He stretched out his fair little hand and tugged at Chen Pingjin's sleeve.

Shen Pingjin understood, and she led Lu Qingjia out of the mansion.

The market was as bustling as ever. Shen Pingjin rode in a carriage with Lu Qingjia and stood outside the Glass Museum.

It had been a few days since she last saw it, and the exterior of the Glass Pavilion looked even more exquisite, which made Shen Pingjin even more curious about what the inside of the Glass Pavilion looked like.

"Young Master Qin, are you inside?"

Li Qin'er was inside pondering what kind of promotional activities she should use to attract people on the first day of the glass shop's opening when she heard a familiar voice coming from outside.

Li Qin'er hurriedly went to open the door and saw that the person who came in was Shen Pingjin. Just as she was about to raise her hand to pay her respects, she suddenly met the gaze of Lu Qingjia, who was standing next to Shen Pingjin.

Li Qin'er: "?!"

Seemingly noticing Qin Gongzi's questioning gaze, Shen Pingjin explained, "Jiajia, this is a good friend of my sister. He has a good business sense. You can call him Brother Qin."

She then raised her hand in a gesture of respect to Li Qin'er, saying, "Young Master Qin, this young master is Lu Qingjia, the eldest grandson of the General of the State."

Upon hearing the name Lu Qingjia, Li Qin'er gasped.

Lu Qingjia, Lu Qingjia...

Li Qin'er remembers this person!

Her gaze toward Lu Qingjia held a hint of inquiry, while her look toward Shen Pingjin held a hint of confusion.

Why……

The situation before her was somewhat different from what she knew.

Lu Qingjia raised her head and followed Shen Pingjin's gaze to look at the appearance of this "Brother Qin".

This person exuded a gentle air, with a high nose bridge, thick eyebrows, and large eyes. Although somewhat...unremarkable in appearance, the warm and gentle temperament surrounding him made it impossible not to feel a sense of goodwill towards him.

Lu Qingjia thought this "Brother Qin" looked much better than the bad brother, so she obediently called out, "Brother Qin!"

Young Master Qin was taken aback, "This..."

Shen Pingjin noticed Li Qin'er's unease and said with a smile, "Young Master Qin, you can just call him Jiajia, he's very cute."

"I see..." Li Qin'er looked at the tiny child and finally called out gently, "Jiajia."

She's Young Master Qin now, not Li Qin'er from the Imperial Clothing Shop. If she, a grown man, were to rub the cheeks of such an adorable child, it would be incredibly strange.

She had to hold back.

Lu Qingjia obediently hummed in agreement, while Shen Pingjin, seeing the two getting along well, revealed the purpose of her trip.

"Young Master Qin, I came here this time to bring Jiajia to try some new things. Do you think... are you available now?"

"That's convenient, of course it's convenient." Li Qin'er's eyes lit up when she heard that Shen Pingjin had come here to bring people to eat.

Who would understand? For someone who loves to cook, the two things they like most are having their food praised for being delicious and having it all eaten up.

"I've just developed some new dishes, so you've come at the perfect time. Come and try them!"

Shen Pingjin became curious upon hearing this, since the food that Young Master Qin made was always quite novel.

She followed Li Qin'er over and saw something that looked like a large pancake on the table.

Shen Pingjin asked, puzzled, "Young Master Qin, what is this?"

Li Qin'er quickly explained, "Your Highness, I call this a hamburger."

"Hamburgers?" Shen Pingjin frowned.

Li Qin'er is now somewhat certain that Shen Pingjin definitely doesn't know what this thing is called, otherwise she wouldn't have shown such a curious expression.

Lu Qingjia was also a curious child. He stared at the large pancake on the table with his big, watery eyes. What was this thing called? A hamburger?

He blinked in confusion. "Brother Qin, what is this hamburger? Can you really eat it?"

Li Qin'er patted her chest as if it were a matter of course, "Of course, this local snack may have a strange name, but the taste is not bad at all."

As she spoke, she raised an eyebrow at Lu Qingjia, "Jiajia, do you want to give it a try?"

"Really? Brother Qin?"

Lu Qingjia hesitated, but her body betrayed her, because... this food, which looked like a big pancake, smelled so good.

Saliva quickly welled up in her mouth and filled it. Lu Qingjia picked up the hamburger from the bowl and took a bite.

In an instant, the soft and tender texture and the fresh and fragrant meat blend together in your mouth, creating a harmonious melody of five flavors: sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty.

Lu Qingjia had never tasted food like this before. His eyes widened in surprise as he looked at Li Qin'er and mumbled, "Brother Qin, this 'hamburger' is so delicious!"
