nowned doctor, helped her out. "Family shouldn't be so formal," 。Besides, the kid is well-fed and dressed well. He doesn't look like he's ever suffered. 。But your whole family was so distraught over...Distinguished guest

Jia Yin was doubtful.

She couldn't figure out who it was for a moment, so she greeted the crowd and walked out.

Everyone was curious, but it wasn't polite to ask, so they continued to eat, drink, and laugh.

After a short while, Jia Yin led her master and two servants in.

The master was wearing a large cloak, wrapped tightly, so that it was impossible to tell who he was.

Two maidservants, however, were quite proper. They stayed directly at the doorway, heads bowed respectfully and humbly.

Mrs. Liu, seeing the genuine curiosity of the crowd, stood up first and asked with a smile, "My lady, who is this honored guest"

Before the lady could speak, her master had already thrown back his cloak, revealing a face that was not particularly beautiful but bore an expression of great pride.

Lady Liu was taken aback and quickly curtsied, "I didn't know it was the Third Princess who had arrived. This woman is so rude."

Third Princess!

The rest of the people, hearing this reminder, also quickly stood up and bowed.

Someone muttered in their heart, previously seeming to have heard that the Third Princess and the Kang Le County Lord were not on good terms, often quarreling.

How come the County Lord's hotpot restaurant opened today, and the Third Princess actually came to celebrate!

The third princess seemed a little embarrassed, but she still raised her chin and lightly waved her hand, saying: "Get up everyone, I am out of the palace incognito today. Please treat me just like an ordinary friend."

Everyone dared not disobey. They immediately replied with gratitude and then rose to their feet.

The Third Princess gestured for a maidservant to step forward and hand Jiayin a box.

"This is a crimson gold treasure vase I found in my father's treasury. It's the perfect gift for your grand opening!"

"Crimson red"

Jia Yin's eyes lit up, she took the box and shook it in her hand, it weighed about two or three pounds.

Don't even talk about how it looks like a treasure pot, just this weight is worth two or three hundred taels of silver!

She couldn't help but smile, and quickly beckoned to the third princess, "Princess, have you ever tried hot pot Why not stay and taste it"

Having said that, she didn't wait for the Third Princess to refuse and directly ordered Shui Ling, "Change the soup base and dishes in the next room. Please invite the princess to dine shortly."

"Yes, Miss," Shuiling quickly replied, swiftly giving the order.

The Third Princess's lips moved, as if she still wanted to decline.

Unfortunately, Jiayin couldn't stand her awkward and arrogant demeanor. She grabbed her arm and said to Madam Liu, "Madam, you all enjoy your meal. I'll take the Princess to sit with the other young ladies next door."

"Alright, you don't have to worry about us, just take good care of the princess." Mrs. Liu hurriedly agreed and personally sent them to the door.

As soon as Jiayin and the princess left, the door closed.

A woman, unable to contain herself any longer, whispered, "When did the Third Princess and the Countess become so close"

Jia's second wife glanced at her and said, "Although the princess and county lord are of noble status, they are still children after all."

"Arguing today and playing together tomorrow, isn't that normal"

"Indeed," Mrs. Xing chimed in, "Come, let's continue eating. I don't know about you all, but I haven't had enough yet."

As she spoke, she called the maidservant at the door and ordered two more plates of shrimp dumplings and beef balls.

Seeing this, the crowd forgot their previous thoughts and started eating, drinking, and laughing again.

As for the girls in the neighboring private room, they were inevitably a little awkward and restrained because of the sudden arrival of the third princess.

After all, it's common knowledge that the Third Princess has a haughty temper and is difficult to get along with.

The girls wanted to speak, but they were afraid of saying the wrong thing and angering the princess.

But he didn't speak, yet it seemed disrespectful to the princess... they were truly caught between a rock and a hard place!

The Third Princess also knew she was an unwelcome guest, a little embarrassed, but luckily Jia Yin was by her side.

She prepared new dishes and broths, and called the young girls to pick up their chopsticks again.

The third princess woke up early and hadn't eaten anything. She was hungry now.

She simply ignored everything, first dipping the mutton into the red soup and then taking a large bite. Finally, she couldn't help but gasp from the spiciness, widening her eyes and asking, "How many chili peppers did you put in here It's really too spicy!"

Albeit voicing her dissent, the chopsticks in her hand diligently plunged back into the red-hot pot...

Everyone was unable to stop laughing and began to eat together.

Baozhu, this foodie, quickly accepted the task of being a food companion and excitedly introduced each dish to the Third Princess.

"Princess, try this! This is called Huang Huo. It's said to be bull's throat, especially chewy!"

"A cow's throat" The Third Princess raised an eyebrow, expressing doubt, but after taking a bite, her eyes lit up. "Delicious, give me another piece."

"Haha, it's much tastier now."

"And this beef ball, stuffed with shrimp, is especially sweet and fresh!"

Bao Zhu was pleased and kept serving dishes to the Third Princess.

The third princess also ate non-stop, and soon her lips were red from the spiciness.

But she would rather keep drinking water than put down her chopsticks.

This look is really no different from the girls a moment ago...

The girls gradually forgot their shyness and began to eat, occasionally exchanging a few laughs. The room gradually became lively again.

After a satisfying meal, the charcoal hot pot and dishes were removed.

Jiao Yin gave Shui Ling another good thing — ice cream.

This was something she came up with last year when she was bored and had nothing to do for her little nephews.

Although it's just a simple mixture of cream and egg yolks, she doesn't skimp on fruit. Adding a touch of color or flavor with some fruit is very easy for her.

This time, when opening the hot pot restaurant, JiaYin was thinking of adding some special dishes, so she came up with the idea of serving ice cream.

At this moment, Shuiling carried a large tray with eight small porcelain dishes shaped like plum blossoms.

Each little dish holds three scoops of ice cream, one white, one pink, and one yellow, arranged beautifully together.

"Oh, what is this" Gu Qingqing asked first, "It looks so cute, it smells like milk!"

Mei Lan patted Bao Zhu playfully and said with a smile, "Bao Zhu sister, didn't you eat already"

"Oh, Sister Lan, how did you guess" Baozhu exclaimed, both surprised and flustered. "That... I just had it once last year at Suijin Beach."

Mei Lan took the dish and said firmly, "If you hadn't eaten it before, you would have rushed over long ago. The fact that you can sit so honestly now means you've already tried it!"

Everyone started laughing and chimed in with criticisms.

"The county princess is biased, and always gives the best things to Baozhu first."

"Baozhu is so unprincipled, she stole all the good food and didn't even tell us!"

Jia Yin smiled and distributed small silver spoons to everyone, helping Bao Zhu out of the predicament. “This is the simplest ice cream. Bao Zhu, you eat first, as if tasting for everyone else.”

"After I make something better, I'll give you guys a taste first!"

That's about right!

"I remember, Princess, you can't go back on your word."

The girls were finally satisfied, chattering and laughing as they ate their ice cream.

Sweet and delicate, melts in your mouth!

The girl was almost immediately conquered.

"Wow, this is delicious!"

"It actually tastes like peaches!"

"What kind of fruit is this yellow one It tastes weird, but it's delicious!"

The third princess was also curious and gobbled down most of it in one breath, then stared eagerly at Jia Yin. getting thinner and more tired every day I didn't even realize it!" She hurried to call Shuǐyún, "Quickly help me kill another chicken. I'll make a chicken soup and cook chicken noodle soup for Fúniú...
