Since it was New Year, Shen Zhu prepared the large kitchen early.

She went back to her own yard to prepare for the night's scorpions.

Two days earlier, she had taken the time to go out and buy a goat spine, preparing to eat a scorpion on New Year's Eve.

When Shen Zhu returned, he specially went to Aunt Liu's house to look for them.

With families in the manor, the mistress was very grateful and ordered them not to serve in front of her.

Shen Zhu thought about how the years between the Aunt Liu and Ah Qiu were not that lively, so he decided to spend it together with the two of them.

As for the Zhuer in the front courtyard, she had never even thought about him.

In the evening, the house of the tenant was brightly lit and bustling with firecrackers.

For the past few days, Zhen'er stayed with her parents who came to the manor and did not return to the courtyard.

She was immersed in the joy of being together with her parents. Today was New Year's Eve, and she hesitated for a while whether or not she should go and invite Zhuer.

She knew how Zhuer usually treated her, and she wasn't an idiot.

She had long seen clearly that Zhuer was sincere towards her, and now she was even more disappointed. After all, she had really treated Zhuer as a good sister back then …

"Jie'er, who exactly is this Shen Zhu? I've heard a lot of praises from Master these days. "

Little Treasure's mother asked as she scooped up some food from her bowl.

But it was the first time he saw her praise a chef so much. Even the most famous chef in the capital had never received such kindness from the Madame Ye.

Not only Madame Ye, but even the first and second young master had praised Shen Zhu.

Jie'er returned to her senses, seeing her mother ask about this, she lit up the dishes in the bowl, and asked hesitantly: "Actually I am not too sure, I only know, that Lady Shen's culinary skills are superb, I heard that Uncle Chen specially invited her, but last time I heard Zhuer said, she was also a peasant girl."

"Don't listen to Zhuer's nonsense. From what I see, this Shen Zhu is not bad, you should walk around a little more."

Little Treasure's mother did not really like Zhuer.

Jane bit her chopsticks and was a little angry when she mentioned this.

"Mom, I was thinking the same thing. It's just that I lost my face a long time ago."

"Ever since we met in Lady Shen, Zhuer didn't like her at all, so she went to look for trouble in their courtyard time and time again. Her face was completely thrown away by her, and last time, Zhuer went to the courtyard to be Brother Su's concubine. A few days ago, he was even making things difficult for Shen Zhu in the kitchen, so Shen Zhu can be considered to have completely offended her."

Little Fairy even told Mother about her first visit to Shen Zhu's home. Originally, she had been able to connect with Shen Zhu a long time ago, but now, they had a good relationship.

"This Zhuer is really something!"

Little Treasure's mother was a little angry, and her voice also became a little louder.

It was all's fault, as he gave birth to a chance for her daughter to befriend Shen Zhu.

"Alright, alright. Since it has already passed, don't complain anymore. Can't you just say something happy during the new year?"

Zhuer's father did not want to hear the mother and daughter continuing to talk about his troublesome matters, so he hurriedly interrupted and asked.

Seeing the sad look on her face, Lady Zhen'er coughed. If she knew earlier, she wouldn't have asked!

She changed the topic. "Jane, can you tell Mom what's interesting about the manor?"

On New Year's Eve, one should be happy.

In the front yard of the courtyard.

Zhuer sat in front of the cold dishes alone, listening to the sound of the firecrackers. Ah Qiu's laughter came from the inner courtyard.

Her family's father, the Mother, had returned to the capital. Her elder sister was going to spend the new year with the other masters of the Prince's Mansion.

Her parents had also come to the Villa, and the family of three were happily eating New Year's Eve meal. How could they still remember her?

"One or two of them are ingrate!" "Damn you, Jen, it was all in vain for me to be so good to you, to treat you as my best sister!" Zhuer looked around, wiped away his tears and cursed.

Being alone at home, she could be said to have no appetite. Thinking about how Jane was reunited with her parents, she sighed deeply and couldn't help but think of her older sister.

Didn't they say last time that they would help him vent his anger and discipline Shen Zhu?

How come there was no sign of movement at all?

Zhuer thought about all these and felt that it was hard to calm down. Was she the only one in this manor who was enjoying the cold shoulder seat and eating cold rice?

He got up and lay on the brick bed. Not long later, he heard a low sound of sobbing.

Shen Zhu's yard was even more crowded now, including the three children, there were seven of them, it was rather noisy as they squeezed into the small house.

There were still three children and the chattering Ah Qiu.

Shen Zhu returned in the afternoon and began preparing the Yang Scorpion.

She first took out the back of the lamb that she had chopped, washed it clean, and then soaked it in water for an hour until it bled.

After the pot, add the appropriate clear water, put pepper, fragrant leaves and green onions down, wait for the water to boil, add the goat spine, add the wine, and set on fire.

After removing the floating foam, he scooped out the goat spine and then poured the soup out of the pot. After washing the soup, he boiled the oil in the pot and put the supplementary materials he had prepared into the pot to stir-fry. Then he put the goat spine into the pot and fried the fat out.

In the end, he put the seasonings he had taken from the space into the pot, put the small chili and ginger slices in the pot, cooked the wine to remove the fishy smell, added the soy sauce to stir-fry and color it, then put in some brown sugar and then heated the water. The amount of water was only slightly less than one point of meat.

Even if a single scorpion was created, the taste of it could still be felt from afar.

When Shen Zhu and Ah Qiu carried the Goat Scorpion out, Su Zongwen, who had just woken up, carried Ruanruan out of the room.

Su Zongwen was thinking, what other dishes had his Yue Niang not cooked before? He really got a treasure.

Aunt Liu walked in from outside with two children.

It was snowing heavily outside, and as the door opened, some snow drifted in.

Aunt Liu patted the snow on the two children's bodies and said, "I am lucky this year."

Shen Zhu laughed: "I haven't even eaten Aunt Liu, and you already say that you have blessings in your mouth, you are truly trying to kill me."

Aunt Liu turned his head and looked at him angrily: "How can I not know about your skills?"

At the dining table.

Su Zongwen hugged Ruanruan with one hand and was the first to add a piece of meat to him.

When Aunt Liu saw this, he looked at Ah Qiu who was only concerned with his own food, and said with an expression of disappointment: "Yue Niang, tell me, why do I not have any good fortune? My daughter, if only she was half as sensible and capable as you. She hasn't even looked at how old she is, and all she knows how to do is eat, drink, and play; she doesn't seem to be in a hurry for the marriage at all. "

"Mom, how old am I now, and you're already in a hurry to marry me out!" Ah Qiu immediately pulled on Aunt Liu's arm to act like a spoiled child, "Your daughter still wants to accompany you for a few more years, so I can be completely filial in front of you."

"If you really want to fulfill your filial piety, then hurry up and show your mother your son-in-law." Aunt Liu had a headache, "If this drags on, you will become an old lady."

Ah Qiu knew the logic behind Aunt Liu's words, she just did not want to casually find someone to marry.

Being nagged at by Aunt Liu like that, Ah Qiu could only look at Shen Zhu for help. Blinking his eyes, he revealed a pitiful expression.

"Aunt Liu, you don't have to worry too much. As the saying goes, children will have their own fortune, when fate allows it, Ah Qiu will naturally marry out."

Ah Qiu heard Shen Zhu's words and nodded his head, "Yes, yes, Mother, sister-in-law is right. When the fates come to fruition, there is no need for you to rush and I will marry myself.

Aiyo, she had already promised Mother that she would marry her, why is Mother still so concerned about me?

Aunt Liu looked at her snappily. What if he couldn't see her for his entire life?
