Chapter 26 Listen to a Story
As soon as they got home, Xia's father and Xia Feng came back to prepare food for dinner.
"Dad, you're back."
"Where did you go to play today, kid? Why did you come back at this hour?" Seeing his daughter come back, Father Xia's heart finally settled down.
"I went shopping in East Street today. Dad, the food in the restaurants over there isn't as good as the one in our house." Xia Yutong looked disgusted.
"Kid, where did you go? Don't you see those nice places our family has been to?" Father Xia knew that his daughter had some money on her, and he also knew that she was a sensible person.
I will definitely not spend a lot of money to eat the food and drinks at Fengming Tower, so I am happy about it.
Xia Feng also laughed and teased Xia Yutong, "That's right, Xiaotong, people say that the food at Fengming Tower is only found in heaven, and it's rare to taste it on earth."
Fengming Tower?
Xia Yutong was a little confused.
How could she not know?
"I didn't go." She opened her mouth and finally said with a bitter face.
"Haha, we can't go there, we can't go there." Father Xia kept busy with his hands. "That place is not suitable for people like us. Even if we put all our family's money together, we might not be able to afford a meal there. They hire imperial chefs."
After doing business for more than half a year, he had heard of some things.
"Imperial chef." Xia Yutong regretted it when she heard these two words.
Why didn't she think to ask?
I regret it.
"Yes, I heard that Fengminglou was opened by the Queen, and the chefs in the restaurant are all former imperial chefs in the palace." Father Xia looked longingly.
As a human being, who doesn’t have some desires?
"Uncle Xia, let's forget about it and just quickly put together the food for dinner." He didn't really care much about food, as long as he could fill his stomach.
Xia Yutong became autistic.
I don’t want to ask, I don’t want to listen, and I don’t want to talk.
The three of them worked non-stop and soon finished skewering the food for the evening.
…
Three years passed in a flash.
In three years, the Xia family became famous in West Street.
Even on East Street, many people are eating braised food and barbecue.
It’s not that no one was interested in this recipe, but after calculating the cost, everyone felt that the profit was not much, so they didn’t take it seriously.
What everyone is talking about are those wealthy families.
Because of this, the Xia family settled down in peace on West Street.
In three years, Xiaoxuan has grown from a little kid into a handsome boy.
But he really has no talent for studying.
But it is better to read more, so he never stopped studying.
In the end, he was not allowed to go because he was not qualified.
It was the youngest son of the village chief, and within three years, he brought home a scholar.
It can be considered as a way to save face for the village chief.
These are not important.
The Xia family, Xia Feng's family, have changed significantly in the past three years.
The honest country man from before is gone, and now he looks more like a strong man.
A strong man with strength.
For three years, Father Xia practiced boxing with Xiaoxuan every day, and both his body and inner aura had undergone great changes.
If he were put in front of his old mother, I'm afraid she wouldn't even recognize him.
Xia Yutong grew into a graceful young lady when she was three years old.
Many people around wanted to come to the Xia family to propose marriage, but were rejected by Xia's father.
In ancient times, girls as young as eleven could be engaged.
Even though he was still a child, the Xia family had undergone great changes due to the nourishment of the space water.
Even Xia Feng, who had lived in the Xia family for two years, had changed a lot.
That’s right, Xia Feng moved out of the Xia family last year.
Because Xia Yutong is getting older, it is not appropriate for him to live in the Xia family.
The Xia Family Shop now is not the same shop as before, but a merger of two nearby shops.
People can live in the store, so Xia Feng moved directly into the store.
Because of Xia Yutong's continuous snack recipes, Xia's snack shop is considered a beautiful landscape in the entire Mingyuan Town.
Xia Yutong is not stupid. The recipes she came up with are all snack recipes that can make a small profit but quick turnover and earn some hard-earned money.
Even if someone is jealous, they may not rush to grab it after asking around.
That’s why it’s suitable for long-term development.
"Sister, sister, can I not go to school?" Xiaoxuan now says this to his sister every day when he comes home.
He became less and less interested in going to school, and instead became more interested in the two books they had picked up when they were children.
One is a medical book, the other is a martial arts book.
"No." He was only a few years old, but he was already refusing to study and asking for a beating.
"If you don't want to go to school, then don't learn martial arts either. Dad and I discussed it yesterday and decided to confiscate those two books. You can read them when you've calmed down."
I saw a woman sitting leisurely under the grape trellis in the yard. Her hair was very smooth, hanging down along her shoulders like a waterfall.
The girl's head is decorated with just a wooden hairpin, but just this one hairpin makes her look like an immortal fairy.
If it weren't for her childish face, she would be a beauty that could topple a country.
"Big sister." Xiaoxuan was horrified. How could Big Sister...
"It's no use calling me. I understand that you want to practice martial arts, but you can't even read well. How can you understand more advanced martial arts?" That martial arts book was considered very advanced for that era.
I can learn so much just by looking at the pictures. If I could understand what’s inside, wouldn’t that be…
But she is not careless and doesn't care much about these things.
She has also been practicing for the past three years, but her achievements are not as great as Xiaoxuan's.
In a fight, one can easily defeat ten.
I don’t know if internal force exists in this era, but she hasn’t been able to practice it anyway.
"But the teacher said that we should go this year. I, I don't want to go." Xiaoxuan looked depressed.
Xia Yutong raised her head and looked at him, then understood.
"So it's about this. It's nothing. Just let Dad tell your teacher when the time comes." If you don't want to get into trouble, it's a small matter.
Anyway, there is no hope that he will come back as the top scorer in the imperial examination.
"Really?" Xiaoxuan looked at his elder sister with surprise, "Will Dad agree?" He really didn't want to embarrass himself.
"Dad will agree, but you won't be able to avoid the beating." Xia Yutong said gloatingly.
Xiaoxuan looked indifferent: "It's okay, it's just a beating, I can bear it." He was less afraid of being beaten than being embarrassed.
"Heh." Child, you are so naive. Do you still think that dad is the same dad as before?
Xia Yutong looked at her younger brother as if he were a fool.
Father Xia is now busy in the store with Xia Feng every day.
I won't be back until evening.
Summer is a busy time, and of course, it is also the best time to make money.
Under her leadership, Mingyuan Town also started Crayfish Night.
If there weren't a curfew, I'm afraid Xia's snack bar would be open all night.
That’s right, Xia Yutong brought those modern things that make the whole summer crazy to ancient times.
