116 Not 30 Taels, It’s 300 Taels
Shen Yao looked at her with gentleness.
Ji Zhao looked away uncomfortably, but a hint of joy arose in the depths of her heart.
“Mother, I don’t usually notice how perky Ah Tao’s butt is!” Second Sister-in-law Shen suddenly exclaimed, “Ah Tao will definitely give birth to a son in the future!”
Second Sister-in-law Shen’s words were really shocking!
Ji Zhao choked heavily and coughed continuously!
Shen Yao hurriedly approached her and gently stroked her back to calm her down. “Ah Tao, are you alright?”
“N-nothing.” Ji Zhao quickly waved her hand and said to Zhao Lanhua, “Mother, the waist of this dress is very suitable. There’s no need to change it. Thank you, Mother. Thank you, Second Sister-in-law!”
“We’re a family, what’s there to be polite about?” Zhao Lanhua said with a smile. “In a few days, Mother will make you two more coats. Wear them in autumn!”
Ji Zhao nodded obediently, her smile filled with gratitude.
When it was almost noon, Second Manager You arrived at the entrance of the Shen family’s courtyard in a carriage.
As soon as he got off the carriage, he smelled a rich fragrance in the air!
The taste made him swallow his saliva and rush into the Shen family’s courtyard.
“Second Manager You, please take a seat!” Shen Dashan wiped his hands nervously and welcomed him with a smile. “Ah Tao said that roasted whole lamb is only good if it’s eaten in the courtyard, so I’m afraid Second Shopkeeper will have to sit on this small stool.”
A circle was created in the middle of the Shen family’s courtyard.
In the middle of the circle was a pile of fruit wood charcoal. There was a grill on it, and on the grill was a roasted lamb.
The grill rotated slightly. The roasted lamb’s entire body glowed red, and the fragrance it emitted made people drool.
“Second Brother You.” Ji Zhao brought out some flatbread from the kitchen and welcomed him with a smile. “Please take a seat!”
Second Manager You was treated as a distinguished guest and waited obediently on the spot.
Ji Zhao smiled and took out a dagger from her pocket. She neatly cut off a piece of mutton and quickly sliced it into thin slices.
Her exquisite knife skills stunned everyone present.
“When we just start eating mutton, we have to eat it little by little. We can’t eat too much at once, or else we’ll feel that the mutton is too greasy.” Ji Zhao smiled and explained softly, “Let’s try eating roasted mutton like roasted duck?”
She placed the sliced mutton on the palm-sized flatbread, then added the cucumber slices and smeared the secret sauce on it. She gently rolled the flatbread up and handed it to the bowl in front of Second Shopkeeper You. “Try it.”
When Second Manager You took the first bite, his eyes immediately widened!
He went from chewing slowly to wolfing down the food!
“Fragrant!”
Seeing the reaction of Second Manager You, Ji Zhao knew that her roasted whole lamb had been successfully made!
She smiled and continued making lamb burritos. This time, she handed it to Shen Yao.
“You… want to try it?”
Shen Yao raised his eyebrows silently, the joy in his eyes obvious.
“It’s delicious!”
The person who was the happiest was naturally Second Shopkeeper You!
“It’s Old Madam Ma’s birthday in three days. I’ll get someone to bring you to Hongxing Restaurant the day after tomorrow, okay?” Second Manager You smiled and said, “Ah Tao, I’ve already discussed with the head shopkeeper. As long as you can help make this roasted whole lamb, we’ll give this much compensation.”
Ji Zhao stared at the three fingers of Second Manager You and blinked curiously. “Thirty taels? Isn’t that too much?”
“Not 30 taels, 300 taels.”
