Chapter 25 Leisurely stroll along the street
However, after learning that Xiaobao was coming, Xia Yutong held great hope, hoping that his son would inherit all the advantages of the two.
With Aunt Song joining the evening market, everyone felt a lot more relaxed.
The number of guests is increasing.
Some people, in order to eat, stood behind the guests who were eating.
Some people even formed revolutionary friendships here.
After Aunt Song and Song Xiaobao joined, Xia Yutong no longer went to the store every day. Father Xia also pushed his stall cart to the door of the store every day and let Xiaobao look after the sales.
There is nothing to worry about with money. There are only so many things in total, and it will be very clear once you count them.
At home, Xia Yutong was leisurely arranging the vegetables she had grown in the yard.
Rongrong was also there to accompany him.
"Sister, this is delicious." Rongrong is becoming a foodie.
What she was pointing at was the radish that Xia Yutong had carefully cultivated. This was not a local radish from ancient times, but a seed she took out from the space.
White radish.
Whether it is stir-fried, pickled, or stewed into soup, it is a rare delicacy.
"If you like to eat it, I'll give you one." How could the younger sister's wish not be fulfilled?
"Yeah, it smells delicious when used to stew meat." Rongrong clapped her hands and said with a nostalgic look.
Xia Yutong nodded, "No problem."
The work in the vegetable garden was finished in a short while. Xia Yutong glanced at Xia's mother who was sitting not far away and smiled at her.
"Mom, what do you want to eat for lunch?"
Mother Xia still can't respond to other people's questions, but at least she knows how to look at people.
Xia Yutong was used to her actions and didn't expect to get her answer.
Seeing her smiling at her, Xia Yutong stopped asking questions.
The lunch was simple, two stir-fried dishes and a soup.
The stew is all bone soup.
Her cooking skills were fixed, and no matter how hard she tried, she could never reach that expressive level.
At most, I can eat.
Sometimes the meals that Xia's father prepared under her guidance were even better than the ones she cooked herself.
The Xia family has now established itself in West Street.
After lunch was ready, Xia Yutong first served her mother and sister, and then took the food to Xiaoxuan's school.
There are several schools in the town. The one Xiaoxuan is attending now is an enlightenment school. The one the village chief’s youngest son attends is different from the one Xiaoxuan attends.
Of course, they were not in the same area, so they never met each other.
Holding Xiaoxuan's favorite food, Xia Yutong happily walked towards the school.
Every time she brought food, she would bring plenty to make it easier for Xiaoxuan to integrate with his classmates.
"Sister, you are finally here. We are almost starving to death." As Xia Yutong arrived at the school gate, she was stopped by several people who knew her.
She was originally Xiaoxuan's elder sister, but because she cooked delicious food, everyone had eaten her meals and called her the elder sister.
"Oh, the get out of class is over, and the teacher didn't keep us after class." Xia Yutong stopped and said with a smile when she saw someone she knew.
The person who spoke was Xiaoxuan's classmate, named Zhou Ran.
"Sister, why don't you hope for us to be well?" You know, if they were kept in class by the teacher, they would be beaten by both parents when they returned home. Who would want to experience that?
"You, go ahead and find Xiaoxuan." She knew what Zhou Ran meant by waiting here, waiting for the food.
After delivering lunch, Xia Yutong left the school. Having nothing to do, she wandered around the town.
Actually, the town is so small that there is really not much to see.
However, there is one place that she has never properly visited, and that is the main street in the East District.
The people here are different from those on West Street.
The people here are either officials, gentlemen, wealthy people, etc. It is not a place that a farmer like them can reach.
Today she was interested and her wallet was full, so she decided to come over for a stroll.
East Street is also very lively, but compared with West Street, all this liveliness is created by money.
Don't underestimate this town, it is very developed.
It’s similar to a modern prefecture-level city.
There are also many people hawking on the street, but the things they sell are much better than those on West Street.
Even her braised food is not available on the main street of the East District.
If new food companies want to enter the market, they also have to see whether the old restaurants will accept them.
If you don't accept the offer, then what awaits you is that the prescription will be stolen by someone else, and your family will lose their wealth and lives.
This is also the reason why she did not enter the East District in the beginning.
She thinks more than her family does, after all, she has lived one more life.
The weather was still very cold recently, so there was no need to add more clothes at home, but she also wanted to try the delicious food on East Street. When she arrived at a restaurant that looked very impressive, Xia Yutong walked in without saying a word.
This restaurant is not only for dining, but also for storytellers.
Storytellers are the earliest embodiment of ancient crosstalk.
"Today, let's talk about the current emperor's harem." Xia Yutong arrived at the right time, and the storyteller had just started today's storytelling.
The Great Yan Dynasty is not like the ancient times when Xia Yutong lived.
The people of the Great Yan Dynasty were quite civilized and did not shy away from matters concerning the court and the harem.
The people can speak and the people can pass on.
Of course, if the matter is too serious, the court will also take control.
What Xia Yutong was hearing the storyteller say was really not a big deal.
It can be regarded as some romantic affairs of the current emperor.
Just treat it as a story.
"This Second Prince was born with auspicious signs from heaven. Now that he's ten years old, he's established..."
After listening for a long time, Xia Yutong finally understood what the story was about.
I originally thought it was about the love and hatred between the concubines in the harem and the emperor, but unexpectedly it was the story of the prince.
It seems that someone is paving the way for the second prince.
Xia Yutong is not stupid. She knows that bragging like this must be a preparation for establishing a crown prince.
You know, the queen still has a legitimate son.
Even if she dies early.
But the queen's family is still there, of course, it is incomparable to the mother of the second prince who is in favor.
As the saying goes, if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather.
The emperor is not omnipotent, and he is always deceived. The second prince's affairs have spread to the people, which must be the beginning of the struggle in the harem.
Just take these as a joke and listen to them.
What she cared more about was the table full of food.
She has no plans to enter the catering industry, as her best friend says that would be a waste of good food.
It’s better to just make some snacks and earn some money for the family.
She had already made plans for the future. The Xia family didn't need to be wealthy, as long as they had enough food and clothing.
After all, great wealth requires strength to maintain, and she doesn't have the energy to build up any power in ancient times.
Her biggest dream is to travel around the world.
After Xia Yutong tasted all the dishes on the table, she had a rough idea in her mind.
Today she just came to test the waters.
She is just a little girl and it is not appropriate for her to stand out too much.
After paying the bill and listening to the story, she left East Street.
