Dressed as a vicious stepmother, farming and raising cubs

For people he meets for the first time, he always has a calm and calm look, which combined with his already stern eyebrows, gives people a sense of distance.

Pei Xuening even dared not look at him directly. She just hid behind Su Liu and occasionally glanced secretly, feeling very curious about this outsider brother-in-law.

After almost cleaning up, Su Liu picked up two people, one on the left and one on the right, and said with a smile:

"Okay, let's go."

After all, it was the concubine's birthday, so the General's Mansion had prepared a grand ceremony, with more than a dozen carriages parked outside the door.

Su Liu only took Shen Luochen and Pei Xuening to ride with him. The carriage was very spacious, more than enough for three people.

The three dolls were also taken care of by someone special and were sitting on another carriage.

Returning to Xichun Tower again, Su Liu seemed to have endless emotions in his heart.

Although during this period, she secretly returned to Xichun Building to check on the situation. She also knew that the business of the restaurant was booming, and Song Yao and the others took care of all the matters in the building in an orderly manner.

But she still always unconsciously thinks of the days when she first started doing business, when she would get up early and stay up late every day, working so hard that her feet never touched the ground.

It always feels like that time has passed a long time ago, and it seems like it happened just yesterday.

After hearing that it was his boss's birthday and that his parents and relatives would be here, everyone in Xichun Tower became excited and regarded this birthday banquet as extremely important.

As soon as Su Liu came in, it was like returning to his own home, and he took everyone to the largest box on the second floor with familiarity.

Afterwards, she went to the kitchen alone.

Peng Dahai's newly recruited apprentices were already able to take charge of their own business, and his own work had become much easier. However, when he heard that the protagonist of this birthday party was Su Liu himself, he still said excitedly:

"I'll take care of today's meal! I'll let your family taste Xichunlou's top craftsmanship!"

These people in Xichun Tower actually knew what happened to Su Liu during this period, and they were all sincerely happy that she had found her biological parents.

Hearing what he said, Su Liu was not polite to him, but said enthusiastically:

"If you say so, then I will order whatever you want. Everything from abalone, ginseng, wings, tripe, and delicacies from mountains and seas will be arranged for me!"

"This girl of yours knows how to eat!" Peng Dahai smiled helplessly, but actually he looked eager to try.

Su Liu symbolically marked a few signature dishes on the menu, ordered many innovative dishes developed by her and Peng Dahai, ordered a few bottles of good wine, and then went upstairs with satisfaction.

The people at the table had already gathered, and when they saw her coming in, they all stood up to congratulate her.

"Mom, happy birthday!"

The three dolls also rushed into her arms at the same time, surrounding her and giving her a hat made of flowers. At first glance, it was obvious that it was made by her own child.

Su Liu felt warm in her heart, and she also leaned down and kissed each of the three little faces in turn.

Then she took the children and Shen Luochen to sit down, while General Wen and Mrs. Li sat on the main seats. The box was lively and festive.

What surprised Su Liu the most was that this time Pei Xuening did not pester Wen Shiche as soon as he arrived. Instead, he remained well-behaved and quiet, which was a bit unlike her.

Could it be that he listened to what he said last time and started to "transform"?

"Today, in order to celebrate our Liu'er's birthday, and to celebrate her finally returning home, I would like to propose a toast to you all." General Wen was the first to raise his glass. Most of the people present were his juniors, but he had no airs at all. No, very free and generous.

Everyone also raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

While pushing the cups and changing the cups, the waiters also brought out the dishes Su Liu had ordered and filled most of the table.

Su Liu greeted everyone enthusiastically and said:

"Come and try the dishes at Xichunlou. Our chef used to be the imperial chef, and he and I studied many of the dishes here!"

When he said this, the expression on Su Liu's face was extremely proud, as if a calligrapher and painter were proudly introducing their works.

But in fact, among the few people here, except for General Wen and his wife, everyone else has already tasted Xichunlou's craftsmanship.

Unsurprisingly, after taking a bite of the dishes in front of her, Mrs. Li's face showed surprise and she turned to look at General Wen.

"This taste seems really better than the one in our house?"

General Wen also nodded, becoming more curious about Su Liu's previous experiences:

"Liu'er, how on earth did you manage to open this restaurant by yourself?"

Su Liu thought for a while, but he couldn't tell that he was a time traveler and had a golden finger, so he had to fool him and said:

"Actually, I like to research recipes, and I happened to meet a chef who I got along with, so I started it."

Of course, she didn't mention a word about the hardships she encountered and the money she spent.

The expression on General Wen's face became more and more impressed. Although businessmen were ranked last among scholars, farmers, and merchants, he had never been prejudiced. He felt that as long as he could achieve something, he was a capable person.

Everyone was chatting happily, when another person walked into the box carrying several plates of food and gently placed them on the table.

Su Liu recognized this familiar figure and exclaimed softly unconsciously:

"Su Tao?"

How could she forget such a thing? Since she saved her from the bandits last time, she has been allowed to stay in Xichun Tower to work. In fact, Zhang Lan and her family have been sent to Youzhou, and now she can be allowed to return. Went to Xinghua Village.

"Sister..." Su Tao called her lightly. She looked up and saw everyone in the box, then quickly lowered her head, with a flash of complexity in her eyes.

She was not entirely unaware of what had happened recently.

She knew that Su Liu's true life experience was actually the concubine of the General's Mansion, and she had lived a life of pampering. He also knew that his father, mother, and younger brother were all sent to a side hospital area and would never be able to come back in this life.

Unexpectedly, in just one year, her and Su Liu's situation had completely turned around. Her family and affection were all gone, leaving her alone.

"Who is this?" Mrs. Li was keenly aware of the unusual relationship between the two and asked curiously.

Su Liu hesitated for a moment, then explained:

"This is Su Tao, she can be considered...my sister."

In fact, she doesn't hate Su Tao as much as before, because she has suffered a lot and has been very honest recently, so she can still call her sister for the time being.

"Oh..." Mrs. Li nodded gently.

When she heard the surname "Su", she could vaguely recognize the origin of this person. She was probably Zhang Lan's other daughter.
