Those fierce barbarians didn't understand either: "Maybe they came here to eat after smelling the smell."

Who would doubt a few birds, so after tying the letter to the homing pigeon's leg, they let it fly without paying much attention to the wild birds that flew away with it.

How could they have guessed that the homing pigeon was caught by those "wild birds" before it could fly very far and was delivered to Xiaoxiao's hands.

Rong Yan was greatly surprised: "What kind of grace of yours can you turn into a human form?"

Xiaoxiao only discovered it recently, and as soon as she found out, she couldn't wait to let them be monitored.

The letter on the pigeon's leg was indeed addressed to the prince, but what was ironic was that, apart from questioning, the thing he mentioned most was actually asking for money from the prince, which showed how unwilling he was to use iron ore to pay off his debt.

The more unhappy he was, the happier Xiaoxiao was. After reading the letter over and over, she touched her chin: "I don't know if there is any special code in the letter, and we can't change it casually."

After thinking about it, she happily decided: "Then just confiscate it."

Put the letter away, as for this pigeon...

Rong Yan chuckled: "Want to eat?"

Xiaoxiao's face turned slightly red, and she mentioned dark history again! At the beginning, she didn’t know that what she was eating was someone else’s carrier pigeon! Who would have thought that someone would fly homing pigeons in such a remote place as Fuyuan Village?

"Eat!" If you don't eat, you'll get nothing.

Yun Eryunzu took a walk at the bottom of the mountain. When the master and the girl came down, they found that they had gained a lot. They were holding pheasants in their hands and dragging their heads behind them...

"Wild boar?" Yun'er was stunned and blurted out, "The kind with pork belly?"

Thinking about the past, everyone couldn't help but laugh. When Magistrate Shen learned that there would be game for lunch, he also pressed down his increasingly prominent belly and laughed heartily.

Just when Xiaoxiao felt that the peaceful life was a little boring, the auspicious day for her second brother Ning An and Qian Jiaoer arrived. The Ning family decorated the house with lanterns and colorful decorations, and hosted a banquet for guests. Magistrate Shen, his wife, and Han Qing were all invited. Even Gongsun Zhongjing, who had painstakingly studied patent medicines, prepared himself to attend the invitation.

Xiaoxiao invited the best dragon and lion dance team in Xijiang County for her second brother. She didn’t want to pretend to cook the dishes for the wedding banquet. She had to go into battle in person as soon as she rolled up her sleeves. It was Rong Yan who persuaded her.

"You have a different status now. Even if you are willing to do it, can those people eat with peace of mind?"

Also, when the princess cooks for them, who dares to use chopsticks?

Xiaoxiao felt that life was boring, so she fought hard and won the right to cook at the table for her relatives and friends.

So the acquaintances were happy, and Magistrate Shen also showed mercy and took over Shen Tianci who was suffering from head pain in Bowen Academy.

Mrs. Shen calmly took a stool and sat in the kitchen, chatting with Xiaoxiao while turning on the small stove. When Xiaoxiao cooked a dish, she would hold a small bowl and pick up some with serving chopsticks to eat first as a sign of respect.

This behavior made Xiaoxiao click her lips: "The dignified wife of the county magistrate, the Li family's daughter, how come it seems like they don't have enough to eat?"

Mrs. Shen scolded her: "What's more, someone is clearly the second shopkeeper who has been confirmed in black and white, but he wants to leave two stores for me to run back and forth. There is no trace of me. I have to go all the way to eat from you. Come to Xijiang County from the capital!"

Xiaoxiao pouted: "You obviously came back to see your husband-in-law!"

Mrs. Shen has been busy with her career recently and mainly stayed in the capital. This time it was just a coincidence.

She blushed: "What nonsense are you talking about, kid? I just happened to be back on something, otherwise I wouldn't be able to enjoy your meal!"

"Oh, by the way, people have been asking about watermelons lately. Are you really not going to sell more? Business is so good, but you still insist on limiting the quantity. I'm really convinced."

Xiaoxiao glanced at her: "Things are rare and expensive. If you can buy them with just a few bucks, will those dignitaries still eagerly rush to your elegant residence? Besides, the output is not that much now, so I still need to save seeds. .”

Mrs. Shen curled her lips, the last sentence was probably the key.

She actually understood the truth. The watermelon Xiaoxiao gave her was unheard of before. Nowadays, the quantity shipped from the border town is not large. Coupled with the losses on the road, it can only be supplied in small quantities.

Furthermore, the richer and more powerful the nobles are, the more they like to be special. They don't care about what others have, but they just love the privileges that they can get even if they can't buy them with money.

"How come you, a little brat, know so much about noble people's thoughts?"

Xiaoxiao said: "I read a lot of books."

Mrs. Shen rolled her eyes and decided to attribute the credit to Xiaoxiao's biological father and mother, especially Gu Chang'an. As expected, children born from scholarly families are different. Children born from a scholarly family are much smarter than others.

But what's going on in her house? Not as smart as his mother, nor as cunning as his father... shrewd, what's going on.

Seeing Xiaoxiao working in an orderly manner, she couldn't help but feel even more distressed. Some children perfectly inherited their parents' brains, beauty, and even cooking skills. Some children could only moan and complain about not being able to memorize yesterday's book. People Why is the gap between people so big?

At first, she had tried to bring Tianci and Xiaoxiao together, but after thinking about it, she decided not to do it because her son was not worthy.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Shen winked and lost all her graceful demeanor: "Hey, how are you and His Highness the Third Prince?"

Xiaoxiao blushed this time, and the little brother said that after the second brother gets married today, he will... propose marriage to the four parents.

Mrs. Shen's face was full of teasing, and she smiled so much that Xiaoxiao took away her bowl: "I won't let you eat it!"

Mrs. Shen quickly apologized, and Xiaoxiao was annoyed for a while before returning the bowls and chopsticks to her. She was a very busy person now, and Yaju's business was good, and she received all the distinguished guests. She really took time out of her busy schedule to come here. No, we can't even wait for the dinner to begin, and the two of us may have to leave.

Xiaoxiao looked at her increasingly thin chin and couldn't help but remind her: "Don't just be busy with your career, your health is more important."

Mrs. Shen nodded and asked her: "Oh, by the way, I heard that you have invented a quick meal that can be eaten by soaking it in boiling water. Why don't you give me some?"

Xiaoxiao glared at her: "If you don't eat well, when my cantaloupe and grapes come out, you won't be able to get involved!"

Mrs. Shen immediately became honest: "What is a cantaloupe?"

She often eats grapes, but cantaloupe is unheard of. Pian Xiaoxiao, the bad girl, said: "It's a secret."

He added: "But when the things arrive, we will be the only ones to supply them to Yaju."

She is so annoying, but Mrs. Shen likes it so much.

When the banquet started, Mrs. Shen was indeed called away by the people from Yaju. She proudly showed off her foresight to Magistrate Shen, left gifts and blessings, and left in a hurry.

Since it is a wedding banquet, of course Xiaoxiao cannot fool around with it. Almond bergamot, crispy apples, Heyi cakes and festive-shaped saving boxes are all must-haves. Sixi dried fruits and Sixi candied fruits are tiger skin peanuts, strange-flavored flatbreads, milk White walnuts, snow mountain dates, candied sesame seeds, candied longans, candied peach preserves, and candied apples.

The appetizers include shredded chicken and cucumber, spicy tripe, mushroom nostrils, and vinegar jellyfish, followed by a dazzling array of dishes - shark's fin with anchovies, red plum bean paste, kung pao hare, eight-treasure wild duck, golden rolls with bergamot, and fried pork belly. Pigeon, hydrangeas and scallops, fish fillet in milk sauce, colorful beef tenderloin, mountain delicacy thorn buds, lotus tofu...

The dishes on this table are colorful, steaming, and full of color and flavor, making it difficult not to salivate.

Some of the dishes had not even been named. Magistrate Shen even took time out of his busy schedule to exclaim: "Not bad, Xiaoxiao girl, your cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds under Gu Yuchu's guidance. It's amazing!"
