Her round face puffed out as she took a bite, cheeks bulging like a foraging little squirrel.
“Brother-in-law, why aren’t you eating? Are you not hungry?” Su Ergou asked.
Wei Ting looked away from Su Xiaoxiao’s face and grabbed a chive pocket, “I’m eating.”
Su Ergou smacked his lips, thinking he would eat that if Wei Ting didn’t want to!
After eating about six or seven chive pockets and glutinous rice balls, Su Xiaoxiao wouldn’t let them have more, “It’s already late, it’s hard to digest if you eat too much. We’ll come back again tomorrow.”
Once he heard that they could come back again tomorrow, Su Ergou happily accepted.
The group returned to the inn.
The three children were too excited to sleep, so they were rolling around in bed.
Wei Ting said, “I’ll watch them. You can go to sleep.”
Su Xiaoxiao needed to get up early the next day, so she didn’t insist further and quickly fell asleep.
When she woke up, Wei Ting was no longer in the room. The three children were sprawled out, sleeping soundly. One at the head of the bed, one at the foot, and one on the side.
Su Xiaoxiao arranged the children properly, covered them with a blanket, and then began dressing and washing up.
Shopkeeper Sun, who had gone to bed early, was also an early riser.
He first woke up Xiao Wu, fed the horses in the stable, and then instructed the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
By the time Su Xiaoxiao arrived in the lobby, the steaming xiaolongbao were already out of the kitchen.
“Boss, did you sleep well last night?” Shopkeeper Sun asked.
“Yeah.” Su Xiaoxiao replied as she sat next to him.
Shopkeeper Sun said, “Xiao Wu went to call Ergou, he will join us soon. These dumplings were made for you, and the kitchen still has more.”
Su Xiaoxiao took a bite of xiaolongbao, “It’s delicious.”
The ingredients were fresh, using pepper and ginger to remove the meat's gamey smell.
The dumplings burst slightly with juice, providing a texture between xiaolongbao and tangbao.
“You should eat too.” Su Xiaoxiao said.
Shopkeeper Sun smiled, “You can eat first. I will wait for Ergou.”
Su Xiaoxiao had no strict sense of hierarchy, but Shopkeeper Sun wouldn’t forget his position just because of that.
His employer treated him well, it was because of his employer’s generosity, and he couldn’t take advantage of it.
He still had to be sensible.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t say anything else and ate two more.
Shopkeeper Sun said, “Boss, I went to check again this morning.”
“Checked on what?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Shopkeeper Sun whispered, “About the family who asked us to make the pastries. I initially thought it was a business deal I made, but I realized last night that it was probably arranged by Abbess Huijue. Such a family couldn’t be ordinary people, so I made some inquiries.”
You didn’t just inquire about it, you should have dug the information to the bottom, right?
More guests began to arrive in the lobby.
Shopkeeper Sun lowered his voice and said, “The Su family who asked us is from the capital and reportedly holds a high position there! No wonder they aren’t afraid of offending Governor Li!”
”Oh.” Su Xiaoxiao continued eating her xiaolongbao.
No, why did you react so calmly?
We had received business from a distinguished person from the capital ah!
What a big gimmick! If this news got out in the future, Jinji wouldn’t even be worthy of carrying shoes for us!
Shopkeeper Sun was excited for a long time and even planned a hundred ways to boast, hype up, and overshadow Jinji.
Shopkeeper Sun continued, “Their ancestral home is in Pingcheng, Qingzhou. They used to return every few years for ancestral worship, but I heard they’ve come back less in recent years. Do you know why?”
Su Xiaoxiao honestly replied, ”I don’t know ah.”
Shopkeeper Sun: You're really terrible to be in a supporting role!
Shopkeeper Sun said, “Years ago, when the Su family returned home for ancestral worship, they were ambushed by bandits. A woman and her child from the Su family were brutally killed by the bandits! Since then, the Su family has returned less often. This time, they’re apparently relocating the graves!”
“Jie!*”
Shopkeeper Sun told Xiao Wu, “Go to the kitchen and bring out the remaining three baskets of dumplings.”
Xiao Wu agreed, ”Okay.”
Just as Su Ergou was about to start eating, Su Xiaoxiao said, ”Send a basket up to your brother-in-law.”
“Brother-in-law hasn’t woken up yet.” Su Ergou said, “I haven’t heard any noise from his room.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I ordered you to go, so you should just go.”
“Ohh.” Su Ergou obediently took a basket of dumplings and knocked on his brother-in-law’s door.
“Brother-in-law, why aren’t you eating? Are you not hungry?” Su Ergou asked.
Wei Ting looked away from Su Xiaoxiao’s face and grabbed a chive pocket, “I’m eating.”
Su Ergou smacked his lips, thinking he would eat that if Wei Ting didn’t want to!

-Xiao Long Bao

“Yeah.” Su Xiaoxiao replied as she sat next to him.

-Tangbao, soup-filled steamed buns in chinese cuisine

*Jie (姐) : Older sisterSu Ergou came downstairs, “It smells so good ah!”
Shopkeeper Sun told Xiao Wu, “Go to the kitchen and bring out the remaining three baskets of dumplings.”
