Zhou Ya Nan’s eyes widened at the feast of dishes, her mouth watering profusely. Every single one of them looked delicious!
Once Father Shen was seated, everyone began to eat.
During the meal, no one bothered to talk; they were all too busy shoveling rice into their mouths. The stir-fried bok choy was delicious, the white-cut chicken was also excellent, and the pineapple duck was absolutely divine!
Zhou Ya Nan was so engrossed in eating that she couldn't even lift her head. Father Zhou, who had intended to reprimand her, was also busy eating.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill,
“Big Brother, your cooking has improved so much!” Shen Huai Sang said, rubbing his distended stomach.
It was fortunate he exercised every day, otherwise, with such good food daily, he would have turned into a ball long ago!
“That’s right, that’s right! Brother Shen’s cooking is truly superb. This is the best meal I’ve ever had!” Zhou Ya Nan said sincerely.
“Indeed, it’s even better than those at star-rated hotels,” Father Zhou agreed wholeheartedly.
“It’s not that exaggerated; it’s the quality of the ingredients,” Shen Huai Min said.
He knew his own cooking skills, so the ingredients themselves played the biggest role.
Before, the produce was similar to that elsewhere, but after Yao Yao revealed her rebirth, the family’s vegetables, chickens, ducks, geese, and even the water they drank had changed.
Thinking of this, Shen Huai Min suddenly understood the surprise his sister had mentioned earlier.
With these ingredients, why worry about not being able to open his restaurant?
After chatting for a while, Father Zhou produced the contract.
It was the contract for selling lychees. After tasting the lychees from Shen Yao’s family, he had raised the price from 88 yuan per jin to 100 yuan per jin.
He knew that 100 yuan per jin might be difficult to sell elsewhere, but it was different for him. His family ran a high-end department store; for such delicious lychees, people would buy them even if he doubled the price.
“No, no, that won’t do. We agreed on 88 yuan per jin, so it’s 88 yuan per jin.” Father Shen adamantly refused. The purchase price was always cheaper than the retail price.
“Oh, Uncle Shen, don’t worry. My dad is wealthy, so there’s no need to worry. These lychees are so delicious, they’ll definitely be sold at double the price in our department store, so don’t worry about him losing money,” Zhou Ya Nan said from the side.
Father Shen/Father Zhou: You really are your dad’s little darling!
Father Zhou cleared his throat slightly, “Brother Shen, I won’t lie to you. These lychees will sell no matter the price in the department store. Calculated this way, I’m still getting the better deal.
There are many wealthy people nowadays, and as long as it’s delicious, they’re willing to spend.
“That’s your capability. We agreed on 88 yuan per jin, so it’s 88 yuan per jin. If you don’t agree, I won’t sell them,” Father Shen was also quite stubborn.
“Fine, fine, fine! 88 it is!”
Father Zhou had no choice but to sign the contract with Father Shen and then contact a truck to come and pick up the goods.
Because the quantity of lychees was so large, it would take until the next day to pick them all, and after picking them fresh, they would still need to be processed, such as removing the branches.
Father Shen directly hired people from their village and neighboring villages to help. They would be paid 260 yuan for a day’s work just picking lychees, and many people came upon hearing the news.
The villagers who had previously mocked the Shen family for making a fuss now could only stare in shock when they saw the lychees in the Shen family’s orchard.
These lychees were growing so well! Not only were they uniformly colored, but they were also large!
Since they wouldn’t be leaving until tomorrow, Father Zhou stayed at the Shen family’s home, as there were plenty of empty rooms.
As for Zhou Ya Nan, she clung to Shen Yao, saying she wanted to sleep with her.
Shen Yao didn’t refuse; her room was spacious, and her bed was large enough to sleep two people comfortably.
Lying on the bed, Zhou Ya Nan looked at Shen Yao, whose skin was so smooth and fair it looked as if it could be pierced by a finger, and her mouth began to water again.
Zhou Ya Nan reached out and stroked Shen Yao’s arm, “Yao Yao, your skin is too good!”
Shen Yao slapped away Zhou Ya Nan’s “grabby hands” and said, “Of course, born beautiful and hard to abandon.”
Zhou Ya Nan was not discouraged and continued to gaze at Shen Yao persistently. If she couldn’t touch her, she could at least look.
However, Zhou Ya Nan’s burning gaze left Shen Yao speechless.
Shen Yao pushed Zhou Ya Nan’s face away, “Alright, stop looking. Do you still want to become fairer?”
“Yes, yes!”
Zhou Ya Nan said quickly, nodding her head like a pecking chick.
“Lie down!”
Shen Yao patted the sofa next to her. Zhou Ya Nan immediately lay down obediently. As long as she could become fairer, she was willing to do anything!
“Close your eyes.”
Zhou Ya Nan obediently complied, then felt something being smeared on her face.
The substance had a very pleasant scent, with a faint fruity aroma.
Shen Yao was using the Beauty Cultivation Grass from the cultivation world. By chopping up the Beauty Cultivation Grass and applying it to the face and body, one could become fairer.
Beauty Cultivation Grass was an important spiritual herb for making Beauty Cultivation Pills, but compared to the price of the pills, the grass was everywhere.
This was because there were very few alchemists in the cultivation world, especially high-level alchemists. Even though Beauty Cultivation Pills only had the effect of nourishing and beautifying, they were fifth-tier pills.
In her previous life, Shen Yao liked to collect everything, even this common Beauty Cultivation Grass.
Ten minutes quickly passed, and Shen Yao pulled Zhou Ya Nan to the bathroom to wash off the Beauty Cultivation Grass.
After the Beauty Cultivation Grass was washed off, Zhou Ya Nan looked at herself in the mirror in shock.
White, she had really become fairer!
“Ah, Yao Yao, I’ve really become fairer, woo… I’m so happy.”
Shen Yao said expressionlessly, “You’re happy too soon.”
Zhou Ya Nan: “What do you mean?”
Shen Yao tapped on the mirror, then on Zhou Ya Nan’s face and neck.
Zhou Ya Nan: …
Wooo, Yao Yao, are you a devil?
It wasn’t that Shen Yao said she was happy too soon, but Shen Yao had only applied the Beauty Cultivation Grass to Zhou Ya Nan’s face, not her neck.
So, could one imagine the scene?
It was like someone very dark using the fairest shade of foundation, and not only that, but not applying it to their neck as well.
Zhou Ya Nan: What should I do? She suddenly felt that being a bit darker might look good.
“Yao Yao, my dear Yao Yao, give me some more of that stuff for my face, just a little bit…”
“Yao Yao, my treasure, please…”
“Yao Yao…”
Shen Yao didn’t hide anything and directly handed her a large handful of Beauty Cultivation Grass, which should be enough for her entire body.
Zhou Ya Nan looked at the grass in her hand. Was this the stuff that had just been applied to her face?
Adhering to the principle of self-reliance, Zhou Ya Nan, with no pride left, went to Shen Yao again with the Beauty Cultivation Grass.
She couldn’t reach her own back to apply it.
“Yao Yao…”
“Scram!”
“Alright!”
