I started out with seven husbands, and I worked hard to support my family while crying.

Chapter 119: There are always treacherous subjects trying to harm me.

After everyone had rested, they went upstairs together to have a big meal.

The dishes arranged by Fang Xiaoxiao were truly an eye-opener for the group.

Pei Yan, who considered himself to have tasted all the delicacies in the world, was still surprised when he saw the dishes on the table.

He didn't even know the names of the dishes on the table.

Unlike the others around him, Long Jinyan did not act as if he had never seen the world.

"It's just a meal, why are you all making such exaggerated expressions?"

"Sit down quickly, I'm starving!"

After urging the others to sit down quickly, he pulled out a chair in front of him, plopped down, and immediately picked up his chopsticks, ready to dig in.

It doesn't matter what kind of food is in front of you, as long as it can fill you up, it's a good dish.

Seeing that he had picked up the chopsticks, Li Renyi addressed the crowd.

"Everyone, hurry up and eat, or we'll only have scraps to eat later!"

He quickly found a seat, picked up his bowl and chopsticks, and began to clean up the food.

He knew that Long Jinyan had a huge appetite and ate at a speed that was almost as fast as a carriage. If it were just a quarter of an hour later, Murong Changqing would probably have to cook him plain noodles.

The thought of Murong Changqing's noodles made her body tremble involuntarily.

It's true that Murong Changqing's noodles are delicious, but you can't eat noodles every day, every meal.

Seeing that everyone had started eating, Fang Xiaoxiao pulled Zhou Wenjian to sit down.

It was also the first time Zhou Wenjian had seen such strange and unusual dishes in front of him, and he was very curious, so he whispered in his wife's ear to ask her something.

"Wife, what's this dish called?"

He pointed to the nearest dish and asked curiously.

The dish looks quite appealing, with reds, greens, and a touch of black ink mixed in. It looks familiar, but I can't quite place it.

Fang Xiaoxiao replied.

"Oh, this is called Yu Xiang Rou Si (Fish-flavored Shredded Pork), it's a dish I just invented. You should try it and see how it tastes!"

Shredded pork with garlic sauce!

Long Jinyan, who was eating braised pig's head, looked at the dish upon hearing this, quickly put the meat in his bowl, picked up the fish-flavored shredded pork with his chopsticks, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it vigorously, wanting to taste how the dish was.

He was very puzzled as to why he couldn't taste the fish in the shredded pork with garlic sauce.

He immediately said.

"Why isn't there any fish in the shredded pork with garlic sauce?"

"..."

Upon hearing Long Jinyan's words, the already curious group picked up their food and began to taste it.

“Uh~~”

This dish is delicious, but I just can't taste the fish flavor.

Li Renyi immediately echoed this.

"My lady, are you mistaken? This is just a dish of shredded pork stir-fried with green peppers. How can you call it 'fish-fragrant shredded pork'?"

This~~

Fang Xiaoxiao was at a loss for words to explain.

She herself couldn't explain why there was no fish in the shredded pork with garlic sauce.

But how could she, who always cared so much about her image, possibly lose face in front of her husbands and the shop assistants?

Fang Xiaoxiao racked her brains, quickly searching for the right words to explain why there was no fish in Yu Xiang Rou Si (Fish-flavored Shredded Pork).

She pondered for a moment before speaking.

"That's a good question. The origin of Yu Xiang Rou Si (shredded pork with garlic sauce) can be traced back to a very, very long time ago. There was a family who lived in the mountains and could only make a living by hunting. One day, a stranger came to this family and brought them a fish."

"But this fish was considered an extremely rare treasure by this family. Everyone was very happy, so they traded many things for the fish with this person."

"But they live in the mountains year-round and don't know how to cook fish. Fortunately, the hostess simply stir-fried the fish into a dish."

"Unexpectedly, it tasted surprisingly delicious, but there was clearly not enough fish for the family. So the clever hostess took the leftover scraps and stir-fried them again, adding meat and green peppers."

"Later, everyone discovered that by using this method, even without fish, you can still cook a very delicious dish."

"And that's how this dish came about."

Zhou Wenjian and the others listened with great interest, and everyone felt that the ancients were truly wise.

But a new problem has arisen: how does the lady know so much, while they have never heard of it before?

Li Renyi, filled with curiosity, asked his wife a question.

"Wife, where did you hear all this? I've never heard of it before, let alone this dish of shredded pork with garlic sauce."

"!!"

Oh no, I forgot about that!

Fang Xiaoxiao then realized that everyone said it was passed down from ancient times, so why was she the only one who knew it and others didn't?

Fortunately, she's quite adept at making up lies.

"Hey, this is just a legend. I only heard it by chance, and then I spent a long time figuring it out based on the legend."

"Oh~~"

The lie she told was so convincing that no one doubted her anymore.

Of course, there was another very important reason: Long Jinyan had almost finished eating the shredded pork with garlic sauce, so everyone had to put aside their thoughts and join in the fight for this plate of shredded pork with garlic sauce.

The dish was quickly devoured by the group.

At this moment, Murong Changqing held a piece of cake, puzzled by the words written on it.

Why is it labeled "Wife Cake"?

"My wife, you're not going to say again that this is just another legend you heard and then made up, are you?"

"..."

Good grief, you've all learned to answer first, haven't you!

Fang Xiaoxiao's face darkened, then she smiled.

"Of course, this is something I made especially for you two."

"Of course, that's also to prepare for the launch of new dishes in the restaurant."

"??"

Murong Changqing fell silent. Given that there was no fish in the shredded pork with garlic sauce, it was quite normal that there was no wife in the wife cake.

Pei Yan held a strange-looking meat sandwich in his hand. The sandwich was quite peculiar, with meat and green lettuce sandwiched in the middle, and the upper part of the sandwich was a semi-circle, while the bottom part was a normal-looking flatbread.

He had eaten roujiamo (Chinese meat sandwich) before, but this one was just two flatbreads put together with strange-looking vegetable leaves in the middle. When he took a bite, the vegetable leaves were actually raw.

How could a prince like him eat raw food? This angered him so much that he questioned Fang Xiaoxiao beside him.

"What kind of dog are you? Not only have you made this a mess, but you're also feeding me lettuce leaves. Did you have some kind of scheme in mind?"

"Gah~~"

Fang Xiaoxiao looked at the hamburger in his hand and suddenly felt like she had met an idiot.

Is this guy trying to say that there are always troublemakers who want to return the throne to me? That's utterly ridiculous.

"Who do you think you are? I'm not like some people who are so petty and always thinking of harming others."

Her words had a double meaning; she was referring not only to Pei Yan, but also to another person, Ouyang Tuoba, who was busy eating with his head down.
