Chapter 119 - 119: Crystal Jelly
“What is this?” Mrs. Shen was very curious. She stared at the daisy in the middle of the transparent ball and wanted to reach out to touch it, but she was afraid that she would break it.
Xiaoxiao touched her nose and put down the bowl. She picked up the spoon beside the plate and knocked it in front of Mrs. Shen. “This is crystal jelly. It’s sour and sweet and very delicious.”
With that, she opened her bowl and took a spoonful to eat.
The space also recovered its spirit at this moment.

Mrs. Shen instantly felt that it was a waste of God’s gift. With this feeling, she also took a bite like Xiaoxiao and covered her mouth in surprise.
What should she do? She felt that her family’s wealth was just for show. Look at what they usually ate and what their family ate!
What should she do? She really wanted to stay in the Ning Family and not go back!
Shen Tianci could not stop eating. At this moment, his cheeks were bulging from eating. That was because he could not bear to swallow it and put the entire portion in his mouth to savor the aftertaste.
Xiaoxiao was adorable by the mother and son. “There’s more in the kitchen. If you don’t mind, do you want another one?”
Who could reject Xiaoxiao’s “another one”? Everyone ate until they were stuffed.
County Magistrate Shen, who had eaten too much, stroked his beard. “Miss Ning, you are so good at cooking at such a young age. I’m so surprised and impressed. Brother Ning and Sister-in-law have such a daughter. How enviable.” What he said was true. Compared to other people’s children, one was outstanding, one was talented in poetry, and the other was able to earn money to support the family at such a young age. Compared to his son, who was not good at literature or martial arts, he seemed to only know how to eat?
He suddenly felt sad…
Ning Fengnian and Madam Song tried their best to appear humble, but they couldn’t suppress their smiles at all. Ning Dalang and Ning Erlang also looked proud. Xiaoxiao scratched her head and became a little embarrassed.
Shen Tianci sighed at the side. “I feel terrible when I think about not being able to eat these delicious foods when I go back. You might as well take my money like before. That way, I can come and eat whenever I want.”
Other than the first time Ning Erlang accepted a tael of silver from him and said that it was money for food, he would only bring some ingredients later. They might not all be useful. If they could be used, they would enter his stomach. If they could not be used, they would be brought home. This was no different from eating and drinking for free, making him feel embarrassed.
County Magistrate Shen glared at the back of his head. “You only know how to eat!”
However, Ning Fengnian and Madam Song felt that this young master was completely different from the young masters of the rich families outside. He did not put on airs and was innocent and likable, so they coaxed him.
“Young Master Shen, don’t worry. Xiaoxiao works with the Fragrance Restaurant in the county. Most of the new dishes have to be sent there. If you want to eat and it’s not convenient for you to come to our house, go to that restaurant.”
Her son and daughter had said that the Shen Family did not lack money to spend. Shen Tianci also often said that he would go to the restaurant when he had nothing to do, so they did not consider the expenses of going there often. Unexpectedly, Shen Tianci frowned when he heard this.
“All, it’s the Fragrance Restaurant again. Why don’t you consider the other restaurants? Their boss will be so smug if you give them all the dishes.”
This time, it was his mother’s turn to glare at the back of his head. Shen Tianci pouted and thought of something else.
“By the way, speaking of your family’s recipes, have you guys heard about your Second Uncle recently?”
Everyone from the eldest branch looked at each other and shook their heads to indicate that they did not know.
Shen Tianci covered his mouth mysteriously.
“Your Second Uncle went to the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant to eat and was poisoned. This matter has already reached the government office..”
