Chapter 241 Xu Boxi's Strength

The store had more goods, but more people came to buy things. Originally, he only planned to keep the three younger ones to sell goods together, but now it seems that Zhao Shu and the three younger ones are obviously too busy, so Xu Hexiao also kept the eldest and the second oldest.

"You go home first. The two children and I will go buy some wine jars." Xu Hexiao said.

Lin Qi hummed, "It's cold outside, hurry up and don't stay outside for too long."

As Lin Qi spoke, she silently transferred some supernatural powers to Xu Hexiao and several children.

"Thank you, Mom." The children laughed.

Lin Qi touched the child's face and said, "You're welcome. If you feel cold, run home. Don't freeze yourself. Got it?"

"I understand, Mom." Several children answered in unison.

"Is this your mother? She is so young and beautiful, she doesn't look like a stepmother." An old lady looked at Lin Qi and wondered if this could be her stepmother.

"Our mother is already over 30 years old, she just looks young." Lao Qi explained. He didn't like the way the grandmother looked at his mother.

Lin Qi covered her face with a scarf, revealing only her eyes. She nodded to the aunt and said goodbye to the children. "Mom is leaving first. You must be home by one o'clock at the latest. Mom will cook dinner and wait for you at home. Got it?"

“I see.” The children replied.

Lin Qi said to Zhao Shu again, "Godfather, go back at one o'clock. It's okay if you can't sell all the goods. Don't get cold."

"Okay, I know. I can't be that cold if I keep working." Zhao Shu really didn't feel cold. He had two rabbit fur pads in his shoes and his socks were padded, so they were very warm. He was wearing a military coat, a rabbit fur vest underneath, and padded gloves on his hands, with only two fingers exposed, so he didn't feel that cold either.

The socks, waistcoat, gloves, cotton coat and trousers were all made by his goddaughter-in-law. Zhao Shu cherished them very much.

Lin Qi thought that these things would not be sold out in the morning, but before one o'clock, Zhao Shu came back with a group of children.

"Mom, a lot of people came to the store, and they were scrambling to buy our things." The seventh child looked excited.

"Yes, Mom. Those uncles, aunts, grandparents asked us to go home and get some more goods to sell because they haven't bought enough." Lao Liu was also very excited.

"Mom, we made a lot of money." Lao Wu made a big circle.

"Is our store so popular?" Lin Qi was surprised.

Xu Hexiao was not surprised at all. "Once you have eaten our food, I am afraid no one would want to eat from anywhere else."

"How about selling some unshelled rice and wheat?" Lin Qi suggested that if the rice is not pounded or ground into flour, the quantity can be increased.

"I'm afraid you don't have a mortar and graphite for pounding rice at home." Xu Hexiao hesitated.

Zhao Shu thought it was worth a try. "Take two bags and leave them in the store. If no one wants them, just take them back."

"That's fine. Bring two bags over tomorrow and give it a try."

After lunch, Lin Qi went to the warehouse again. Zhao Shu wanted to help, but was stopped by Xu Hexiao, "You have been busy all morning, you should rest in the afternoon."

"I'm not tired, I don't need to rest." Zhao Shu said.

"Then you watch the fire here, you and the children will be responsible for making wine, and I will go to help Qiqi." Xu Hexiao said, and without waiting for Zhao Shu to refuse, he strode towards the warehouse.

"Your parents are so mysterious." Zhao Shu muttered.

The children looked at each other, lowered their heads and did their own things, pretending not to hear what Zhao Shu said.

Zhao Shu looked at the children. He knew that they must know something. "Can't you tell grandpa?"

"It's not that I can't, I'm just afraid of scaring you." Xu Boxi said.

Zhao Shu raised his eyebrows. "I've been to the battlefield and killed people. What else can scare me?"

"Hmm..." Xu Boxi thought about it carefully and reminded Zhao Shu, "Think about unnatural abilities."

"Yes, especially the unnatural phenomenon of rice growing overnight." said Lao Qi.

"Sweet potatoes also grow overnight." Lao Liu looked at the sweet potatoes in the fire and said, "What do you think? Can we sell the sweet potatoes tomorrow?"

"That's a great idea! Baked sweet potatoes in the winter are so delicious!"

"Ask mom to get some sweet potatoes out tonight."

"Mom, is it a bit tiring to grow so many things?"

"Then ask mom first."

"............"

The children chattered away, seeming to have said everything they should and shouldn't have said.

Zhao Shu's expression changed several times. From the children's words, he came to a conclusion that was absurd but true and credible - all the rice, flour and fruits were grown by Lin Qi overnight!

How is this possible!

During dinner, Zhao Shu looked at Lin Qi several times, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Until the end of dinner, he didn't ask anything.

"Godfather, it's cold now, you can stay here." Lin Qi made an invitation.

Zhao Shu nodded, "Okay."

After dinner, the children went to wash the dishes, and Lin Qi and Xu Hexiao went to the warehouse to pound rice and grind flour. They were busy until 10 o'clock in the evening, when they came out of the warehouse.

"I'll go turn on the water. You go find some clothes first and then take a hot bath." Xu Hexiao said.

Lin Qi hummed, "Let's go to the new house at the end of the alley. We can take a bath together."

Xu Hexiao thought of the large bathtub he had specially ordered from Hong Kong City. His eyes deepened and he said in a hoarse voice, "Okay, we'll take a bath together then."

There was still rice and wheat in the cellar, so Lin Qi didn't need to induce extra labor. This saved a lot of energy. When she heard that the children wanted to sell sweet potatoes, Lin Qi didn't refuse. Before going to bed, she induced the children to produce two bags of sweet potatoes.

The next morning, Lin Qi planted an apple tree, a jujube tree and an orange tree outside the room. The three trees were full of fruits.

"Mom, don't pick them, leave them to me, I want to pick the fruits." The second son Xu Zhonghui shouted.

The third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh children also rushed over and said, "Mom, we want to pick fruits too."

Zhao Shu, who had heard the news, stood still when he saw the three fruit trees that suddenly appeared. Lin Qi looked at Zhao Shu silently and went to the kitchen to help Xu Hexiao.

"Will godfather be scared?" Lin Qi was a little worried.

"He has been on the battlefield and killed people. He said so himself, so he won't be scared." Xu Hexiao said quietly.

Lin Qi looked outside and saw Zhao Shu holding a basket and picking fruits with the children. He certainly didn't look like he was frightened.

After breakfast, the family went to the store together.

Lao Liu was carrying a backpack and holding a brazier with a lid in his hands.

"Why are you bringing this?" Lin Qi asked him.

"There are charcoal and sweet potatoes in it. I can roast the sweet potatoes while selling things. When I get hungry after selling things, I can eat the sweet potatoes. People who come to buy things will smell the fragrance of the sweet potatoes and will definitely want to try them, so they will buy our sweet potatoes." Lao Liu thought he had a good idea and looked very proud.

"That's a good idea." Lin Qi praised, and reminded, "Be careful of sparks, don't start a fire."

"Don't worry, Mom. I will take good care of the brazier." Lao Liu assured, patting his chest.

This morning, there were still customers coming to the store earlier than them, and there were more people than yesterday. Lin Qi and Xu Hexiao simply left all seven children to help.

There were a lot of things today and they couldn't take them all at once, so Lin Qi and Xu Hexiao put down their things and went home to move them over.

The shop was a bit small, so Lao Liu placed his brazier in the warehouse at the back. At 11 o'clock, the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes came from the warehouse. Lao Liu's nose moved, and he hurried to the warehouse, "My sweet potatoes are ripe."

"Brother, I want to eat too." The seventh brother chased after him.

"Sister, I'll get one for you." Lao Wu also ran away.

The four older ones also wanted to eat sweet potatoes, but there were too many guests and they couldn't run away.

"Little girl, are you roasting sweet potatoes? They smell so good?" A customer swallowed his saliva.

"Yes, our sweet potatoes are soft, sticky, sweet and the best in the entire capital." Xu Boxi said lightly.

"Is it really that good?" the guest expressed doubt.

Xu Boxi glanced at the man calmly, "Are there any bad things we sell?"

The guest choked, "Not really."

At this time, Lao Qi took out a peeled sweet potato. The golden sweet potato flesh was oozing with sugar juice, which looked very tempting.

The sound of swallowing saliva was heard in unison.

"Sister, have a bite." Lao Qi brought the sweet potato to Xu Boxi's mouth.

Xu Boxi took a bite and narrowed his eyes, "Okay, you can eat the rest."

The sweet potatoes were steaming and the fragrance became stronger.

"Give me five pounds of sweet potatoes."

"I want ten pounds."

"I want ten pounds too."

“........”

There were a lot of goods today, and they were all sold out at 1:30. Not only the sweet potatoes were sold out, but also the rice and wheat in the shells. The money was placed in a schoolbag, which Xu Boxi carried on his back.

Zhao Shu locked the door of the shop and said to the children, "Okay, let's go home."

The guests had already left, the sky was gloomy and it looked like it was going to snow, and there were few people on the street.

Zhao Shu led the children back and when they passed a corner, four tall men suddenly rushed out. Without saying a word, the four men rushed directly towards Xu Boxi who was carrying a bag.

"Robbery!"

"Second brother, protect your brothers!"

"Sister, we don't need protection."

The three children hurriedly retreated to make room. Seeing Zhao Shu standing there motionless, they even urged Zhao Shu, "Grandpa, come quickly, it's dangerous over there."

Zhao Shu hesitated for a moment, and the four older children had already started fighting with the four tall men. It was at this time that Zhao Shu first witnessed the skills of Xu Boxi and his four companions.

The four tall men didn't even have the strength to fight back in front of the four children. He saw his favorite granddaughter kick the man away with a sweeping kick. Before the man could get up, she rushed forward and removed his two arms with a neat movement!

With such strength, Zhao Shu believed that he was no match for his eldest granddaughter when he was young.

However, the eldest granddaughter is only ten years old this year!

You really deserve to be the first in the training camp, awesome!

In less than three minutes, Xu Boxi and his four siblings had dealt with the gangsters. The three younger brothers followed Lin Qi's example and cut off the arms of the other three gangsters.

The four gangsters looked at the four children in horror, and their aching arms told them that this was not a dream. They were really defeated by the four children, without even touching the corner of their clothes.
