The maid said, "Master is too biased. This is clearly the madam's property, yet he wants to give it all to that illegitimate son of his mistress!"
"It's alright. After inspecting the area, I have a general idea of which shops I should hold onto. Just like that person said, you'll never lose if you rely on yourself."
Fifteen-year-old Liang Tian'er had a burning gaze; she was determined to forge her own path.
What Liang Tian'er didn't expect was that the path to the secret seasoning recipe was cut short before it even began.
"Manager Liang, we found him. I sent someone to ask Wang Xiaoshu, and we finally found out that the child is from the Bai family in Niantao Village."
Manager Liang: "Alright! I'll pack up and get ready to go."
Having already tasted the barbecue, Leung Tin-yee immediately stood up.
“I will go along too.”
...
Niantao Village.
Bai Tian held his daughter in his arms, led his son by the hand, and carried a basket on his back with a pound of pork belly, several meat buns, and a bag of Beijing pastries that he had obtained for free.
He hopped proudly into the house, tilted his head back, and shouted loudly:
We're back!
Suddenly jolted, it felt like it was about to fly away: ...
Juanjuan quickly patted her father: "Daddy, I want to go downstairs."
Bai Yunxing silently picked up a meat bun from the ground, deciding to let his father eat the dirty one.
Who told him to jump around like that, and jump so high that the meat bun popped out and fell to the ground?
"Juanjuan! What fun things did you encounter in town with Daddy?"
Hearing the sound, Jiang Dai came out and picked up Juanjuan, who had just been standing on the ground, again.
Curly, being carried around: ...
But the little girl still truthfully told her mother what had happened in town that day.
When she mentioned returning, someone mistook them for someone else.
Bai Tian suddenly remembered that he had something to do and needed to consult his third son.
"Where's the third brother?"
Jiang Dai: "Third brother? He went out to dig sweet potatoes. What's wrong?"
"Oh, what's wrong!"
Bai Tian sneered: "I think that the one or two taels of silver that Lao San got in town last time wasn't found at all, but was exchanged for at a restaurant with some secret seasoning."
Jiang Dai: ?
She looked at her second son beside her: "Didn't you go out with the third son? Did he find the silver, or did he exchange it at the restaurant?"
Bai Yunxing truthfully said, "I lost him when I went out with him. When I met him at the street corner later, he already had silver on him."
He wasn't lying; he was telling the truth, but he concealed some other minor details.
For example, what did he do during that time?
"Oh! My parents are here!"
A child's startled cry came from the doorway.
Juanjuan immediately looked over and saw her third brother, whom her parents were looking for.
Bai Yun'an, carrying a large basket of sweet potatoes, stood at the door, looking at Bai Tian with a delighted expression.
"Daddy, Daddy! Did you bring any good food with you from the city?"
Bai Yun'an skipped in, as if he had never expected that his secret would be exposed.
"Third brother, where did you get that tael of silver last time? Did you find it?"
Bai Tian put the steamed buns away and then asked his third son seriously.
Under the watchful eyes of his parents, as well as his older brother and younger sister.
Bai Yun'an said with certainty, "Of course! Otherwise, how could I have made the money?"
As he spoke, he bent down to see if there were any meat buns.
However, Bai Tianxian blocked him first.
The sharp-eyed Bai Yun'an noticed that his second brother was holding a meat bun.
He was quick-witted and bent down to bite into the meat bun.
Bai Yunxing: "Wait a minute..."
Before the words had even finished, the third brother had already wolfed down a meat bun.
After finishing his steamed bun, the third brother said to him, "It's just a steamed bun, right? Look how many sweet potatoes I dug up! I dug up a whole eight today!"
Bai Yunxing: ...
[Never mind, what I actually wanted to say was that this meat bun fell to the ground because Dad jumped up just now. I was going to give it to him.]
Juanjuan, having heard her second brother's thoughts: ...
She looked at her third brother with a hint of pity.
