Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 743 - 741: Another Serving of Sweet and Sour Fish

Shen Qinglan realized that Le Zhao really was unconditionally tolerant of Xuan Ying.

He didn’t seem as approachable as he appeared on the surface; in fact, his temper could be quite bad, judging by the tone he used when arguing with Master Le in the greenhouse at the Situ Mansion the other day.

But he was different with Xuan Ying; every time Xuan Ying opposed him, he would just smile it off, the indulgence in his demeanor was even obvious.

"Miss Shen, why are you looking at me like that?" Noticing Shen Qinglan’s scrutinizing gaze, Le Zhao couldn’t help but voice his curiosity.

Shen Qinglan withdrew her gaze and smiled lightly, saying, "You haven’t answered what I just mentioned."

"Oh, do you mean the matter of sending a message?" Le Zhao nodded, "No problem, I’ll have someone send a message to my elder brother tonight."

Shen Qinglan nodded, "Thanks for the trouble."

"It’s been almost a month now, hasn’t it?" Xuan Ying said, "Has Mr. Shi’s beef arrived yet?"

"It should be soon," Le Zhao smiled at him and said, "It’s been snowing these past few days, and the snow in the Capital must be quite heavy, so it’s understandable if it’s a bit slow."

Xuan Ying poured tea for the three of them and muttered, "Luckily it’s a snowy day; in this icy world, there’s no worry about the meat going bad."

Le Zhao smiled slightly, then looked at Shen Qinglan and asked, "Miss Shen, are you going back to the village today, or staying in town?"

Duan Yunfei heard this and his gaze instantly focused on her.

Shen Qinglan said, "I probably won’t be going back."

The snow was so heavy that the roads were not easy to travel. While she was in the carriage with a stove to keep warm, it was little Li driving outside who would suffer.

As soon as she finished speaking, Duan Yunfei’s thin lips unconsciously curled up. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Since you’re not going back, let’s have hot pot together tonight then!" Le Zhao said, "The kitchen has all the ingredients."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Ying’s eyes lit up, "Miss Shen, I want to eat tiger skin chicken feet."

"If you want to eat, make it yourself," Duan Yunfei said displeased, "It’s freezing cold, and you still want Qinglan to cook?"

Just because she’s not their wife, does that mean they can order her around as they please? Even he can’t bear to order her around.

"It’s fine," Shen Qinglan said, "Are there any ingredients? If so, I’ll make it for you later."

"Hehe~" Xuan Ying chuckled smugly, automatically ignoring the death glare from Duan Yunfei, and looked at Shen Qinglan saying, "I knew it, Miss Shen is the best!"

"And you guys?" Shen Qinglan looked at Duan Yunfei and Le Zhao and asked, "What would you like to eat?"

Duan Yunfei said, "I want steamed bass."

"Then I’ll have lotus root powder ribs," Le Zhao said, "When we were in the Capital, Miss Shen made it, and I thought it was quite delicious."

"Lotus root powder steamed ribs, they are delicious!" Xuan Ying said, "Miss Shen, make a bit more, I want to eat it too."

Shen Qinglan recited, "Tiger skin chicken feet, steamed bass, lotus root powder ribs, is there anything else you want?"

"Girl, add a portion of sweet and sour fish too."

A hoarse, laughing voice came from outside the room, and Tang Su was the first to walk in, bowing and saying, "Young Master, Elder Chu is here."

Chu Wuqu walked in, chuckling, bypassing Tang Su.

"Master!"

"Elder Chu!"

A few people stood up and called out in unison.

Chu Wuqu restrained his smile, pretended to be angry, and said, "You guys are something, aren’t you? If I hadn’t happened to come by, I would have missed another feast!"

Duan Yunfei invited him to sit and poured tea before teasing with a smile, "Master, could it be that you’ve grown tired of the wild game in the mountains and that’s why you ventured out?"

"If you had to eat it every day, wouldn’t you get tired of it?" Chu Wuqu snorted coldly, "You little ungrateful bunch, you’ve been back from Nanfeng Country for so long, yet you haven’t even bothered to visit this old fellow."
