A moment later, Zhao Lanhua put down her chopsticks in satisfaction.

“1 admit that this crispy chicken tastes extraordinary, but isn’t the price a little ridiculous?” Zhao Lanhua still felt that it was not worth it. After all, she could not figure out how a chicken could be sold for six taels of silver.

“Mother, the crispy chicken 1 make costs at least ten taels of silver.”

“Uh…” Zhao Lanhua blinked blankly.

“Mother, although this crispy chicken isn’t big, there’s a need to be particular if you want to make this crispy chicken well.” Ji Zhao smiled and explained, “First of all, it’s to choose the ingredients. Generally speaking, it’s best to use hens.”

“The cooking method of the crispy chicken is also very complicated. If you want this chicken to be fragrant and crispy, you have to steam the chicken with broth first. When the heat is enough, you have to fry it in the pot. Only then can you make a fragrant and crispy outer skin.”

“It does sound complicated.” Zhao Lanhua did not expect this crispy chicken to be so complicated. “But 1 still think six taels is a little expensive…’

Although the prefecture was prosperous, the expenses were too high.

After the family finished lunch, Zhao Lanhua felt a little tired.

“Father, accompany Mother home first,” Shen Yao suggested softly. “1 still have to accompany Ah Tao to the Spring Breeze Pavilion to see the progress.”

“Alright” Shen Dashan nodded and went back with Zhao Lanhua.

“What did you say to Mother just now?” Shen Yao looked curiously at Ji Zhao, who was chewing onacandied hawthorn. He chuckled and asked, “Mother doesn’t like to be extravagant. You actually convinced her to enter the expensive Tianxiang Restaurant?”

‘Actually, it’s nothing.” Ji Zhao smiled and shrugged. “1 just told Mother to come to the Tianxiang Restaurant to investigate and see what dishes the people in rhe prefecture city like to order in rhe restaurant. This way, I can set the menu of the Spring Breeze Pavilion.”

Shen Yao smiled and tapped the tip of her nose affectionately. His tone was filled with admiration. “My Zhaozhao is smart,”

“Shh!” Ji Zhao deliberately looked around, then put her index finger to her lips She deliberately lowered her voice and said, “1 know I’m extremely smart, but don’t say it so loudly. Aren’t you afraid that someone will kidnap your wife?”

“No!” Shen Yao suddenly squeezed her hand tightly and said firmly, “No one can take my wife away.

He deliberately emphasized the word ’wife’, causing Ji Zhao’s heart to beat wildly.

‘Ahem.” Ji Zhao hurriedly avoided his gaze and muttered softly, “Let’s go to Spring Breeze Pavilion quickly!’

Spring Breeze Pavilion.

Thanks to the craftsman introduced by Innkeeper Qian, the renovation of the Spring Breeze Pavilion was coming to an end.

Ji Zhao had looked at the lunar calendar before and felt that the day after tomorrow would be a good day.

The eighth day of rhe ninth month would be an auspicious day

“Shen Yao.” Ji Zhaor who wfas standing in the middle of the hall, looked at the surroundings. Her heart skipped a beat as she rushed in front of him and hugged his arm intimately. “1 have a favor to ask.’

“Mm?’1

“Can 1 ask for a few of your calligraphy treasures?” Ji Zhao looked up at him and grinned foolishly. ”Can you help me write a calligraphy piece and then draw two more paintings?’1

“Let me think about it.”

“You still have to think…” Ji Zhao frowned in grievance.

“How can 1 not obey Madam’s orders?’1 Shen Yao gently tapped the tip of her nose and smiled helplessly.

Ji Zhao’s eyes lit up. She tiptoed and leaned in front of him, planting a light kiss on his cheek. ”My husband is so good-”

“Little fool.1‘ Shen Yao smiled dotingly and could not help but pull her into his arms again. “Zhaozhao, you’re even better.”

“Shen Yao/’ Ji Zhao said shyly, “Hurry up and let go. There are people watching us.’1

“It’s fine.” Shen Yao raised his eyebrows and glanced at the craftsmen who had stopped their work to wTatch the show. “1 hope the masters can finish it on time. If it’s overdue, your salary will be deducted.”

The craftsmen shuddered when they heard that their salaries would be deducted. They quickly averted their gazes and continued working.

Ji Zhao, who was leaning in Shen Yao’s arms, did not expect him to be so scheming. She punched his chest angrily and smiled helplessly.

■’Shall we go to the backyard to take a look?1‘ Ji Zhao suddenly suggested. “Innkeeper Qian said earlier that there’s a wine cellar in the backyard. Let s go take a look. If those wines are still usable, they can be used to cook,”

“Okay.”

“Eh? Where’s my candied hawthorn?” Ji Zhao turned to look at the empty counter and blinked blankly. ”1 remember there’s still half of it?”

There were a total of seven hawthorn balls on a stick of candied hawthorn. Ji Zhao clearly remembered that she had only eaten three.

Moreover, she clearly remembered that she had casually placed the candied hawthorn on the counter just now.

“Why don’t we buy two more when we go back?” Shen Yao held her hand and smiled. “Let’s go to the wine cellar to take a look first?”

“Alright.” Although she was a little unhappy, Ji Zhao still obediently wTent to the backyard.

The two of them passed through the side door of the hall and arrived at the backyard.

The two rooms on the east side of the backyard were the kitchen, and the room on the west side was the original wine cellar,

When they pushed the door open and entered, they were greeted by thick dust that choked Ji Zhao to the point of tears.

”There’s too much dust in here, isn’t there?”

Shen Yao hurriedly took out a handkerchief and handed it to Ji Zhao. “Zhaozhao, wait for me outside.”

He picked up the broom leaning against the corner of the wall and quickly tidied up the wine cellar. Then, he pushed open the window and called Ji Zhao in. “Done.”

There are actually so many wine vats here?” Ji Zhao looked around in surprise.

This wine cellar was not big, only about 40 square meters. However, the ground was densely packed with wine jars of various sizes,

In the west corner of the wall, there was a shaky wooden frame.

Ji Zhao subconsciously approached the wooden frame. Just as she was about to reach out, the wooden frame suddenly fell!

Shen Yao hurriedly hugged her and dodged.

“Areyou alright?” Shen Yao asked anxiously. ’’Zhaozhao, are you hurt anywhere?”

Ji Zhao shook her head subconsciously.1 I’m fine, but Shen Yao, look at this wall.r

Following the direction of her finger, Shen Yao also discovered the strangeness of this wall.

This wall was really strange.

”The marks on this should be formed by the wooden frame just now. But look here, why is there a golden lotus flower here?” Ji Zhao pointed at the marks on the wall and said in surprise.

The golden lotus pattern on the wall was only the size of a baby’s fist.

The surrounding walls had long fallen, but the lotus flower was still shining brightly.

For some reason, Ji Zhao subconsciously stretched out her finger and touched the golden lotus.

With a flash of golden light, the lotus in front of her suddenly let out a loud bang.

Boom—
