With progress underway, Zhou Yue felt much more at ease.
"You're telling me all this? These are your family secrets."
"Oh dear, Sister Zhou isn't an outsider," Fang Xiaoxiao said with a mysterious smile. "My brother is pretty good, isn't he?"
Zhou Yue's doubts were completely dispelled. It seemed that she had acted quite well. Look at this little girl, she already regarded her as her future sister-in-law.
She lowered her head again.
"Don't make fun of me, little sister."
Fang Xiaoxiao looked indifferent. "Sister Zhou, did you open this because you want to eat braised food?"
"I was just checking if I needed to add water, in case it boiled dry."
"Oh, no need to add water, just simmer it until it's almost done and then take it out."
Fang Xiaoxiao thought of herself as a naive and innocent girl.
Zhou Yue put the pot lid on.
"Little sister Xiaoxiao, this braised food business is so good, why don't you make more?"
"Sigh, it's because we don't have enough staff, otherwise we'd be selling from morning till night."
Fang Xiaoxiao feigned regret and waited for her to come out of the kitchen together.
Having seen it all, Yue has gradually become bolder this week, daring to ask anything openly. It seems she's doing a pretty good job of acting.

She probably felt that Fang Xiaoxiao had opened up to her.
So Zhou Yue's questions became even more blatant. She started asking about the Fang family, but after a few questions, she turned back to asking about braised food.
Fang Xiaoxiao patiently cooperated for a while, then pretended to be sleepy and fell asleep.
Seeing that Fang Xiaoxiao was asleep, Zhou Yue also closed her eyes and went to sleep.
As night deepened, Zhou Yue stealthily got up and went downstairs.
She went to the backyard, opened the side door, and cooed a few times. After a while, two people came in from outside.
"Keep it down, or you'll wake them up."
"Okay, okay, waiting until dark is too tiring, I'm so sleepy."
"Quickly flip through it and see if you can find the recipe."
The three of them started searching the Fang family's house thoroughly, turning the pot of braised food in the kitchen over and over again. One of them wanted to take an egg to try, but Zhou Yue slapped his hand away.
"Don't sneak any food. How will you explain if there's less tomorrow?"
The man withdrew his hand and continued to use the large soup ladle to scoop out the braising liquid and examine what spices were in it.
