I am the stepmother of my son, and the little villain has changed into a little cotton-padded jacket

Pei Sheng didn't say anything after hearing this, but his tightly pursed lips betrayed his mood at the moment. He actually knew very well that Pei Yu, as a bastard's son, would not give up any opportunity to climb up, but the remaining brotherhood in his heart still made him feel a little reluctant.

Wen Shutang knew from his expression that he still hadn't made up his mind, so she sighed. It was good that Pei Sheng had a kind heart, but as a businessman, he should be more decisive.

"Since Master Pei is so worried about his brother, why not test him and see how your brother views this brotherly love."

"How to test?" Pei Sheng frowned and looked up at Wen Shutang, his tone somewhat puzzled.

"Don't stand at the door and talk, come in first." Wen Shutang turned around and walked into the yard first.

The evening breeze at the beginning of winter is still very cold. The adults can bear it, but the three children may not be able to bear it.

Several people followed Wen Shutang into the yard. Xiao Yizhuo held Xiao Wan in his arms, while Xiao Ze and Xiao Ye followed Xiao Yizhuo.

As soon as he entered the yard, Song Zhoubai smelled a strong fragrance and swallowed subconsciously. The smell was so fragrant.

His eyes unconsciously fell on the sumptuous dishes on the table in the middle of the yard.

The three children were also hungry, and they stared at the dishes on the table and swallowed their saliva.

Wen Shutang noticed their little movements: "Let's eat first. Have you two eaten? We can talk about anything after dinner."

Song Zhoubai immediately shook his head when he heard it: "I haven't eaten yet. I heard that Asheng was anxious to see you, so I came directly with him. Asheng probably hasn't eaten either."

Pei Sheng nodded somewhat embarrassedly. When he smelled the tempting aroma of the food, his stomach started to growl.

Xiao Yizhuo put Xiao Wan down and turned to go to the kitchen to get dishes and chopsticks.

Xiao Wan ran to Wen Shutang and hugged her calf: "Mom! I learned a lot in the clinic today. Senior Brothers Afu and Ayi were so nice to me."

Wen Shutang squatted down, picked up the little girl and pinched her cheeks: "Wan'er, just get used to it. What did the teacher teach you today?"

"Today, the master asked Brothers Afu and Ayi to take me to familiarize myself with the clinic, and also took me to see the master's medicine garden. He told me that he would teach me all the medicinal herbs in the garden in the future." Xiao Wan responded with a smile, her beautiful eyes narrowed into crescent shapes.

Seeing her so happy, Wen Shutang was also infected by her mood, and a smile rose unconsciously on his face: "Really? Then Wan'er must study hard, and when you return after completing your studies, you can go and treat your grandma and grandpa."

"Yeah!" Xiao Wan nodded vigorously.

There was an inexplicable sense of incongruity between Song Zhoubai and Pei Sheng, two noblemen dressed in gorgeous brocade robes, sitting on the shabby little wooden stools, but the two men did not seem to be disgusted at all.

Wen Shutang put Xiao Wan down and said, "I didn't know you were coming, so I made some food. Please don't dislike it."

Song Zhoubai waved his hand: "How can that be possible? Madam Wen's cooking skills are better than the master chef of my Zhaixing Tower. Today, Asheng and I are lucky enough to eat the meal you cooked."

Wen Shutang raised his eyebrows. This man was indeed a businessman who often mingled in the world. Nothing could be faulted with what he said. In short, no matter whether it was true or false, Wen Shutang still benefited a lot from it.

Pei Sheng nodded slightly and agreed, "I feel bad for disturbing you so late at night, but now that we are having dinner at Madam Wen's house, how dare I say that I despise you."

"You don't have to be so reserved. This isn't some aristocratic gathering. It's just a simple meal. If you keep acting reserved, it'll make me uncomfortable." Wen Shutang said jokingly with a smile. She picked up a porcelain bowl beside her and broke the yellow mud wrapped around the chicken frame into pieces. The mud broke into pieces and fell to the ground, revealing the emerald green leaves inside.

Song Zhoubai and Pei Sheng stared at the beggar's chicken in Wen Shutang's hand without blinking. It was the first time for them to see this way of eating. How could anyone cook with yellow mud?

The expressions of Xiao Yizhuo and the three children were very natural. They had become accustomed to the surprises that Wen Shutang brought from time to time.

Wen Shutang used his hands to pull off the outer leaves, revealing a whole chicken that was stewed until it was brown and greasy.

The moment the leaves fell, the aroma of chicken filled the entire yard, and anyone who smelled it couldn't help swallowing.

Although he already knew that Wen Shutang could cook many things, Xiao Ye couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw this beggar's chicken.

Song Zhoubai and Pei Sheng were stunned. They didn't expect that such tempting meat could be made with yellow mud.

"Okay, start eating. This dish is beggar's chicken. It's the first time I make it. It should taste good. You guys try it." Wen Shutang clapped his hands to wipe off the yellow mud on his hands. He ignored the dazed expressions of the two people. It seemed that such delicacy was still a bit too advanced for them.

Song Zhoubai was the first to come to his senses and picked up a piece of chicken with chopsticks. He thought it would be difficult to tear off a whole chicken, but he didn't expect that the tender meat would be pulled off with just a light pull of the chopsticks.

When I put it in my mouth and tasted it, the chicken was tender and juicy with a salty and fragrant aroma. The rich flavor was truly eye-opening.

Song Zhoubai's eyes flashed with surprise: "Delicious! It's so tender. Although it's chicken, it's not dry at all."

After hearing what Song Zhoubai said, Pei Sheng also took a bite, with the same surprised expression. He had eaten too many delicacies from land and sea, but this was the first time he had seen simple chicken cooked so deliciously.

Noticing the expressions of the two people, Wen Shutang raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction. It seems that the beggar's chicken was very successful this time.

Pei Sheng raised his head and looked at Wen Shutang with a bit of surprise in his eyes. A woman who could make perfume and cook such delicious food was actually just a simple village woman.

When the three children saw the adults starting to eat, they also picked up their chopsticks. Xiao Ye was the first to taste the beggar's chicken. The tender chicken simply melted in the mouth.

"It's delicious, Mom. It's the most delicious thing I have ever eaten." Xiao Ye said with a smile, looking up.

Wen Shutang also smiled: "Eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Xiao Ye nodded, and several people started eating. The table fell silent with only the sound of chewing.

After dinner, Pei Sheng wiped his mouth elegantly and said, "Thank you, Madam Wen, for your hospitality. This is truly the most comfortable meal I have had in recent days."

"I said that Madam Wen's cooking skills are better than the master chef of my Zhaixing Tower." Song Zhoubai said with a smile. He was also very full and felt that he had never liked a food so much.

Wen Shutang cleaned up the table and said, "Let's get down to business."
