Just as Xiao Qingyin was about to leave, a baby-faced man approached, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Dr. Xiao, if we have butter and spices, could you help us make some base sauce?"
“Okay,” Xiao Qingyin thought for a moment, “but you have to leave me half of the finished product as a processing fee.”
"That's great! Thank you!"
Xiao Qingyin and Han Shi are having hot pot again today, but with different ingredients.
"Xiao Shu, do you know who the most handsome man in the capital is?"

"His mother is very ill?"
"Yes, I heard she's been sick for several months."
Han sighed.

"Cough cough—"
Xiao Qingyin choked. She actually had a childhood betrothal?
