Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 223: Kindred Spirits

Back in the East Wing, Shen Qinglan did not go directly to sleep after washing up. Instead, she took out her four treasures of the study to prepare a menu and its recipes.

She wrote down many dishes, as well as some snacks like teppanyaki squid, teppanyaki eggplant, fried eggs, oil-braised shrimp, barbecue, and skewers with a five-flavor dipping sauce.

If only she could make stinky tofu, she would have included that too.

Making snacks requires corresponding tools. Barbecue needs a grill, and skewers need their specific tools.

So after finishing the menu, she drew a bunch of items.

By the time she snapped back into focus, it was already midnight.

She glanced at the last drawing, which was a manual juice squeezer.

After letting the ink dry and folding everything neatly, she washed her hands and went to sleep.

The next morning, at the break of dawn, Shen Qinglan was woken up by Dong Yao.

After breakfast, Dong Yao dragged her out the door again.

"Mom, the house isn’t going anywhere, there’s no need to rush," Shen Qinglan said helplessly.

She was hoping to send the things she wrote and drew yesterday to Duan Yunfei.

"How can we not rush?" Dong Yao replied, "I need to see if the location is good."

After viewing all three houses, Dong Yao finally felt relieved and took her home.

The three houses were quite close to each other. Two of them were opposite each other, while the other was two houses away from one of them, all well-positioned.

Dong Yao’s idea was to give the two opposite houses to Shen Shan and Shen Tang, and let Dong Zhong live in the other one.

However, Shen Qinglan wanted to give the last one to Shen Tang because it had a backyard where grandparents could plant vegetables.

Dong Yao eventually agreed with her decision, "You’re right. Your grandparents have been busy for most of their lives and won’t be able to stay idle. Let’s give this one to your third uncle. Your older uncle and second uncle can live across from each other, just right since both enjoy drinking."

After sending Dong Yao back home, Shen Qinglan took the things to Shengxiang Restaurant.

"Miss Shen, have you had lunch yet?"

When she arrived, Shopkeeper Tang was carrying a plate of roasted duck upstairs.

Shen Qinglan honestly shook her head, "Not yet!"

Smelling the fragrant aroma in the restaurant, she suddenly felt extremely hungry.

Old Tang laughed heartily, "Perfect timing, the Young Master and some gentlemen are just about to have lunch. Join us."

Shen Qinglan nodded and followed Old Tang up to the second floor.

"Miss Shen, you’re here!" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

At the stairway on the second floor, they coincidentally ran into Xuan Ying, who had just come out of the private room.

"Where are you headed?" Old Tang asked.

"I was just about to call Miss Shen!" Xuan Ying chuckled. "Miss Shen and our Young Master are really on the same wavelength! He just sent me to fetch you, and here you are."

"Really?" Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow, "What a coincidence!"

"Isn’t it?" Xuan Ying laughed, "Miss Shen, let’s head inside first."

"Hold on!" Old Tang called out to Xuan Ying, "Take this in with you, I still have to go downstairs to attend to other guests."

"I’ll do it." Shen Qinglan was about to extend her hand, but Xuan Ying stopped her.

"Miss Shen, let me do it!" He pouted, "If the Young Master finds out I made you carry something, I won’t be able to finish this meal!"

"Why?" Shen Qinglan asked curiously.

Xuan Ying replied, "Can you eat when someone’s staring daggers at you during a meal?"

She nodded, "Yes, I can."

When you’re hungry, who has the energy to notice anything else besides eating their fill?

Xuan Ying admired her, "In terms of willpower, you really are impressive, Miss Shen!"
