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

Wen Shutang was a little confused. Why were there so many people in the grain shop but so few people in the butcher shop?

She walked into the store. There were only a few people buying meat inside. The shopkeeper noticed a new customer coming in and immediately came up to greet her with a smile on his face.

"Sir, what would you like to order?"

"Give me some pork belly, spare ribs, mutton and beef." Wen Shutang thought that since they were going to eat during the New Year, the food must be richer, so he simply ordered a variety of meats and had a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.

When the shopkeeper heard that Wen Shutang wanted so many things, his eyes suddenly lit up. He nodded repeatedly and turned to call the waiter: "Take this lady to the stall to choose meat."

The waiter bent over and responded, then looked at Wen Shutang: Madam, please follow me. "

After he finished speaking, he turned around and took Wen Shutang to the backyard. Only then did Wen Shutang realize that the meat in this restaurant was freshly slaughtered in the backyard.

She frowned slightly and turned to look at the three children: "Wait for me here."

Xiao Ze nodded first. He roughly guessed the scene in the backyard and took the initiative to wait at the door of the butcher shop with his younger brother and sister.

After settling the three children, Wen Shutang turned around and followed the waiter to the backyard. Before she got close, she smelled a strong smell of blood and frowned subconsciously.

The waiter noticed Wen Shutang's expression and quickly explained, "Our meat is all fresh, so it may have a little smell."

"Okay, I know. Give me five pounds of each of the ones I just mentioned. Oh, and three pounds of the best spare ribs. Please help me cut them into small pieces." Wen Shutang had no objection to this. Of course, the fresher the meat, the better.

The waiter nodded and turned to instruct the butcher to prepare what Wen Shutang needed.

Wen Shutang stood not far from the stall and looked around. It was relatively clean.

When the waiter came back to Wen Shutang with the things, he said, "It's already packed. Wait a moment, young lady. I'll go find the shopkeeper to calculate the money."

"Ah."

Wen Shutang followed him back to the front hall, and not long after, the waiter came back carrying something.

"My dear, the total is seven taels of silver."

Wen Shutang nodded slightly, took out some silver from his bosom and handed it to the waiter, while taking the wrapped meat from his hand.

"Okay, the silver is just right, take care." The waiter roughly felt the silver in his hand and didn't find anything wrong. He immediately looked at Wen Shutang with a smile on his face.

Wen Shutang turned around and walked out of the butcher shop with her things. She immediately saw three children standing under a tree not far away.

Xiao Yizhuo had already put his things down and was now standing next to the children. He noticed Wen Shutang out of the corner of his eye and immediately turned to look over.

Wen Shutang waved the meat in his hand at him: "I've already bought it."

Xiao Yizhuo nodded and took the things from her naturally: "Is there anything else you want to buy?"

Wen Shutang's eyes fell on the three children who were looking up at them, and he smiled and said, "Let's buy some more candies and fruits."

When Xiao Wan heard that there was candy to eat, she immediately became excited. She hugged Wen Shutang's hand and said softly, "Mom, I want to eat candy."

"Okay, then let's prepare some." Wen Shutang was touched by the little girl's expression. He couldn't help but squat down and pinch her face. The feeling was as good as always.

Although Xiao Ye is a little boy, he really likes sweets. When he heard that there was candy, although his reaction was not as big as Xiao Wan's, his bright eyes betrayed his happiness.

Looking at the warm way Wen Shutang and Xiao Wan, mother and daughter, get along with each other, Xiao Yizhuo couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.

"Okay, let's go. After we finish shopping, let's have lunch in town."

Wen Shutang nodded in agreement. It was almost noon now, and the children must be hungry after walking around for such a long time.

After buying some snacks and fruits, Wen Shutang planned to take the children to Zhaixing Tower for a meal.

When they arrived, Feng Shu was counting the bill at the counter. Perhaps because it was close to the New Year, there were very few customers in the restaurant.

Feng Shu looked up and saw Wen Shutang. He was stunned at first, then a smile appeared on his face: "Madam Wen is here, come on, let's go to the second floor box."

"Shopkeeper Feng, there aren't many people in this store." Wen Shutang nodded slightly and greeted him.

Feng Shu smiled helplessly: "It's like this every year at this time. Not only Zhaixinglou, but all the restaurants on this street are in a downturn."

Wen Shutang nodded in understanding. It was nearly the New Year and everyone was reuniting at home, so usually no one came to this restaurant to eat.

"So that's it."

Feng Shu suddenly put on a mysterious look and whispered, "Madam Wen, do you still remember Xianyun Manor?"

Wen Shutang was stunned for a moment and then nodded. Of course she remembered Xianyun Manor. When she was selling tofu in the town, this restaurant had once caused trouble for her. Although the problem was solved in the end, Wen Shutang's impression of Xianyun Manor was not very good.

She still clearly remembered the cunning and treacherous face of Ye Xingyi, the owner of Xianyun Manor.

"Remember, Manager Feng should also know that I had some conflicts with Xianyun Manor." Wen Shutang said half-jokingly.

Feng Shu also thought of what happened at the beginning, and couldn't help but nodded and smiled: "That's true, but something very interesting happened recently, I think Madam Wen should be more interested."

"What?" Wen Shutang was a little curious about what Feng Shu was talking about.

Feng Shu didn't keep the secret any longer. He said with a hint of joking, "Xianyun Manor has closed down, and their boss Ye Xingyi has been sent to prison."

Wen Shutang raised her eyebrows. This matter was indeed unexpected for her, but when she thought about the dishonest behavior of Xianyun Manor, she was not surprised.

"What happened? Wasn't Ye Xingyi quite arrogant?"

"It's his own fault. It wouldn't have turned out like this, but Xianyun Manor is too unscrupulous. Some time ago, Xianyun Manor launched a new dish, which even surpassed the Mapo Tofu in our restaurant."

Feng Shu paused and continued, "I sent someone to check it out. The dish was made exactly like Mapo Tofu, with the spicy, salty and fresh flavors, but the ingredients were slightly changed. But it attracted a large number of customers, and Ye Xingyi made a lot of money from it. But the good times didn't last long. Soon, the guests who went to Xianyun Manor all had abdominal pain and vomiting, and the matter was finally brought to court. Lord Liang found out that they actually bought sick pork from the next town and added it to the dish, which caused everyone to have abdominal pain."

"Later, Lord Liang was furious. After all, too many people were involved. Lord Liang directly ordered the bailiffs to arrest Ye Xingyi. The scene at that time was so lively that it was deadly." Feng Shu said with a smile.

Hearing this, Wen Shutang couldn't help but smack his lips. A profiteer like Ye Xingyi actually dared to sell the pork of sick pigs.

Those who do evil will eventually perish. Wen Shutang did not feel sorry for him at all for the ending he had. He could only say that Ye Xingyi deserved it.
