Of course, Xiaoxiao agreed with both hands, and her family had no objections. What happened just now reminded them of Ning Fengnian’s miserable state back then, and they still had lingering fears.
They were not as ungrateful as the people in the old residence, nor did they question this doctor’s age. This made Gongsun Zhongjing a little puzzled. Li Muyan was the same. He asked Ning Anhui, who looked more talkative, “Don’t you think that this person is too young and incompetent?”
Gongsun Zhongjing took a deep breath and forced himself not to hit Li Muyan’s head.
Ning Anhui said matter-of-factly, “There’s no rule that says that you can’t be capable just because you’re young. For example, my sister is younger than us, but our entire family can’t compare to her ability. It’s not just us. Which teenage girl in the surrounding villages is as capable and smart as my sister…

Li Muyan:… Alright, this person can’t stop talking about his sister.
After returning home, Gongsun Zhongjing checked the back of Ning Fengnian’s head, and Xiaoxiao went to make some food for them.
It was getting late, so she did not have time to make complicated food. They might not be able to wait for her either. The noodles were fast, but most of them had already eaten the longevity noodles just now. Xiaoxiao took out the mung bean vermicelli that she had just made two days ago and fried some tofu curd. Then, she took out the duck scraps left behind from today’s cooking.

Little Big Brother Ah Yan, do you want some too?
II
Rong Yan looked at Li Muyan and Gongsun Zhongjing, whom he had never met before. Putting aside the young man in white, the young man in blue kept stealing glances at Ning Xiaoxiao on the way back. He felt that they were not good people.
“Just a little will do.

Yun Yi and the others were no longer surprised by their master’s growing appetite. Sometimes, they were amazed. It turned out that one’s appetite could increase even more when they were full.
However, the effect of Master eating too much was also very obvious. His arms and legs seemed to have grown a lot, and the bottoms of his pants seemed to be a little short. He had to go to the ready-made clothes shop to buy new clothes tomorrow.
Xiaoxiao made the vermicelli herself. It was hard and translucent after drying, making her family wonder how to eat it for a long time.
Xiaoxiao felt that “eating” was human nature. No matter if they were poor, rich, healthy, or uncomfortable, they could not mistreat their stomachs. Hence, she tried her best to persuade her parents and eldest brother to have a bowl too. Second Brother did not need her to persuade him. He had already started to set the table.
After the pig intestine incident, the family’s tolerance for animal internal organs had greatly increased. Hence, they did not mind eating duck blood, duck intestines, duck liver, and duck gizzards. The neighbors, Little Big Brother and his guards were not picky either and let everything go. The other few only planned to have some “crystal vermicelli” that they had never heard of.
The kitchen was Xiaoxiao’s world, so they did not know what it looked like before the crystal vermicelli was served.
When bowls of translucent noodles appeared in front of them, no matter what family background they had, everyone looked like they had never seen the world.
Mrs. Shen was glad that she did not leave first. She touched her stomach that had yet to be digested and felt that she could still eat some more.
Shen Tianci slurped up the vermicelli and shouted as he ate. His eyes were still fixed on the duck innards in Ning Anhui’s bowl. “Is it delicious?”
Ning Anhui hugged the bowl and bit on the noodles. He turned around and said in a muffled voice, “This is mine!”
To be honest, Li Muyan didn’t have much expectations for this “crystal vermicelli” and didn’t plan to stay for dinner. However, Gongsun Zhongjing shamelessly sat there and didn’t leave. He could only stay. Who asked him to have a favor to ask from him?
This chap had a picky mouth, a bad temper, and was unmoved by force or persuasion. He had used all kinds of methods to persuade him to come out of the mountains to treat his grandmother’s illness. During this period, he had tempted him with many foods. However, he had always disdained them. On the way, he would rather starve than deal with them casually. As a result, in order not to starve the genius doctor to death, he could only find a restaurant for him to eat at mealtime.
However, such a Gongsun Zhongjing actually stayed in the farmer’s house obediently and waited for food?
Li Muyan really didn’t understand until the servant awkwardly said something in his ear. He widened his eyes and kicked Gongsun Zhongjing. “You ate all my sponge cake?”
The young man in white’s expression did not change. He ate the vermicelli elegantly, but his speed was not slow. In just a short while, not only did he finish his bowl, but he also took away the bowl that Li Muyan had not touched.
Li Muyan was dumbfounded. “Is it that delicious?
II
The slurping sounds in the courtyard were his answer. Occasionally, Shen Tianci’s shouts could be heard. “Is there any more! Give me another bowl of everything!”
Xiaoxiao was already familiar with him. She pointed at the kitchen and said, “I’ll cook another handful of vermicelli for you. Add whatever ingredients you want yourself, but you can only eat another bowl. You’ll get indigestion if you eat too much.”
Mrs. Shen, who also wanted another bowl, pursed her lips and swallowed her unladylike burp.
Shen Tianci’s face fell. “Actually, I can eat a lot more than you think. Really!
II
Xiaoxiao pulled a long face, so he could only accept it obediently. “Alright, one bowl it is.”
Only then was he obedient. Xiaoxiao decided to give him a reward. “I’ll give you some dry vermicelli later. If you want to eat it, get the chef to make it. Make any soup. When it boils, put in the vermicelli that was soaked in advance. It’ll be done very quickly. It’s very convenient and fast.”
Mrs. Shen also smiled, thinking that her son was still useful.
The vermicelli were cooked with duck soup base. Compared to chicken soup, pork soup, and bone soup, the duck soup was fragrant but not greasy. It was more suitable for a slightly hot summer. Coupled with the perfect vegetables and secret spices, no one could resist its temptation.
[Ding! Duck blood vermicelli soup has been successfully recorded for the first time. After testing, the raw materials used for this delicacy have exceeded the level of this time-space diet. Reward: 1,000 points. Current total points are 3,100.]
Aiyo, the reward this time was very generous. It was not in vain that she had fiddled with those green beans for so long. Of course, the food processing factory in the space had contributed greatly, saving her a lot of time and manpower. The vermicelli made was also clear and transparent, and the taste was superb.
The space that received the praise chuckled foolishly. It was so happy that it wished it could play a song to celebrate.
Xiaoxiao, who also wanted to celebrate, did not stop smiling the entire night. Her eldest brother and second brother were puzzled. They waited for the guests to leave before asking, “Little Sister, aren’t you angry?”
Xiaoxiao shook her head. “I’m angry, but it has already happened. It’s harmful to the body to be angry. If I get sick from anger, it will only make my loved ones sad. It’s not worth it. Besides, County Magistrate Shen is fair and honest. I believe he will give Father an explanation.”
Second Brother was relieved, but Big Brother wasn’t that easy to fool. Not long after he left with Ning Anhui, he came back alone to look for Xiaoxiao. “Did you already know?”
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have deliberately led Buttface to tell the truth.
Xiaoxiao nodded. “I went back to the old residence and happened to hear Second Uncle and Second Aunt talking about this.”
II
Brother, I didn’t hide it from you on purpose. I just wanted to find evidence first. You also know that those people in the old residence are thick-skinned. Father didn’t have the ability to resist Grandma’s habit of taking advantage of him in the past. It’s useless to say it early. I even made you angry for nothing..”
