At the hour of You, Xunweilou was still crowded with guests. Night fell much earlier than in summer. When the students arrived at Xunweilou after school, red lanterns had already been lit in the restaurant.

"Oh, it's so warm..."

A round-faced young man and two students dressed as scholars surrounded Lin Shuyan and entered Xunwei Tower.

"Second Young Master, you are here."

Shopkeeper Hu, who was seeing off a guest, hurried forward.

"Manager Hu, go ahead and do your work. I can take them there myself."

But in just a few months, Lin Shuyan had grown a lot taller. He looked at the empty lobby and the guests waiting in line around the fireplace at the door, eating melon seeds, and was secretly amazed.

No wonder my sister has been reminding me to be careful recently. I’m afraid she’s worried that someone might be jealous of this hot scene and do something to the Lin family.

Lin Shuyan led several classmates to the second floor and walked straight into the innermost private room. Not long after they sat down, two waiters came in with the soup base and ingredients.

"Hmm... It smells so good, that's the smell!" Zhao Xuewen couldn't help swallowing as he smelled the overbearing aroma boiling in the pot. "Ayan, I'm really indebted to you today. Before, I asked my Nian Gao to book a private room, but it was always fully booked every time I asked."

"Your restaurant business is so good that people have to wait a long time even for the lobby, not to mention the private rooms. I can finally enjoy myself today..." The other young man in a green shirt was named Li Xiao. He smiled and patted Lin Shuyan's shoulder.

"Enough, why are you talking about this? Let's put the ingredients in." Lin Shuyan slapped his hand away and put the ingredients into the pot without forgetting to greet them.

"This is shrimp paste made from fresh shrimp meat and fish roe. I asked Shopkeeper Hu to leave a portion for us. You can try it."

The price of seafood in winter is much higher than in summer, but the high price still can't stop those gourmets. If they didn't ask Manager Hu to reserve it, it would probably be sold out by the time they get home from school.

Because it was cold in winter, Lin Shuyue was worried that the Qinghu people who were responsible for catching seafood would get sick, so she asked them to reduce the number of times they went to the beach. Most of the time, she went to the beach alone to catch seafood using the spiritual spring water, and then found an excuse to transport it to Xunwei Building and put it in the ice cellar.

Combining her experience of eating hotpot in her previous life, she also asked the kitchen to make simple versions of shrimp balls, cuttlefish balls, fish balls, fish roe lucky bags, etc., which can all be made and stored in the ice cellar.

When she is free, she will visit the branch in the provincial capital and deliver some seafood to the branch, so the branch is always busy with customers.

“Mmm~ so delicious!”

Zhao Xuewen took a bite of the light pink shrimp paste. The smooth, tender and slightly fresh taste made his eyes sparkle. "If I had known there was such a fresh and delicious food, I wouldn't have insisted on staying in the private room. I can accept squeezing in with others in the lobby."

"This lucky bag is also very good. The fish roe inside is crispy, sweet and delicious. It is really a delicacy."

Li Xiao and Liu Liangfei also praised the food highly.

Lin Shuyan was busy gnawing on the octopus dipped in chili oil and had no time to respond to them.

Half an hour later, Zhao Xuewen rubbed his bulging belly and looked at the empty table with a lingering look.

"Ayan, sister Ayue is so smart that she can come up with such delicious food! I really want to have a sister like this, so that I can enjoy a lot of delicious food anytime."

"Tsk tsk... you only think about eating. You always eat so much. Look at your face, it's getting rounder and rounder, just like a big plate."

Liu Liangfei is the most vicious one and he is merciless when he complains.

Zhao Xuewen pinched his chubby face, not displeased at all, but proudly said: "I call this a blessing to be able to eat, you don't understand."

"Yeah, I don't understand, big plate."

"You are the big plate..."

Li Xiao and Lin Shuyan calmly watched the two people bickering back and forth.

After the waiter took away the tableware, Li Xiao turned to look at Lin Shuyan, "Ah Yan, are you going to take the boy's test with us next April?"

"Well, today the teacher told me to give it a try. Even if I fail, it's good to gain some experience."

Lin Shuyan picked up the teapot and poured himself some tea. He took a sip before responding slowly. Although he had only been in school for less than a year, he was still confident in passing the boy's test.

In fact, seeing that he was intelligent and had a photographic memory, Master Wang had been secretly giving him special treatment since winter. However, he did not advertise it to others because he knew that a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. As his sister often said, one should be low-key in life.

"Okay, then I wish us all good luck in passing the boy's exam next year, and then we can get admitted to Egret College together." Li Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and took a few sips of tea from time to time.
