Chapter 195 Shopkeeper Hu



So she waited and waited, but she didn't see the girl her mother mentioned for a long time. Until Chen Xi appeared, she felt that she looked very similar, but she couldn't be sure, after all, those men in black robes also came from the outside world.

The best way to verify is to follow Chenxi and observe slowly!

My mother said that when China was in chaos, she would take out the token and give it to the girl. Although my mother didn't have time to finish her words, she knew that the token must be something very important.

So for all these years, she never revealed a word about her father.

Even if Chenxi is a good person, she would never tell him everything unless he is the person her mother is talking about.

Before he knew it, Chen Xi had been practicing for three hours. During this time, Liu Bingzhang had come once. Seeing that someone was practicing, he did not knock on the door but went back and asked his mother to keep the food warm and eat it after the master was ready.

Chen Xi felt that it was about time, so he opened his eyes and looked at the time. Sure enough, a long time had passed.

Thinking about how Liu Bingzhang said before he left that he would come and call her for dinner, it was obvious that he had come but did not disturb her.

Chen Xi felt embarrassed to make others wait for her alone, so she opened the door and walked out.

When they arrived at the living room, they were all sitting there obediently, staring at the food without touching it, and all the food was steaming.

Chen Xi felt a little embarrassed and apologized, "I'm sorry, I was practicing and forgot the time. I kept you waiting for a long time."

Liu Ming's family of three smiled and waved their hands, saying that there was no waste of time, the time was just right, they were just anxious and did it a little early.

Chen Xi sat down and looked at the table full of delicious food. Before he even picked up his chopsticks, Zhang Xia had already put a piece of pork ribs into his bowl: "Master, try this, my best dish."

Chen Xi glanced at the serving chopsticks in her hand. She was such a considerate person.

He smiled and took a bite, swallowed it, and praised: "Mm, very delicious."

This is not just a compliment, it’s really delicious!

Zhang Xia was happy. She put down her chopsticks and picked up the public chopsticks to pick up several pieces of pork ribs for Chen Xi.

The thing she was most proud of in her life was her cooking skills. Now that she had received praise from the master, she was so happy that she wanted to give the whole plate of ribs to Chen Xi.

Chen Xi also accepted everything that was offered. She ate everything she could, leaving her mouth full of oil.

Liu Bingzhang looked at the leftovers piled up in front of Chenxi with shock in his eyes. It was the first time he realized that girls could also be big eaters.

He silently filled a bowl of black chicken soup and pushed it over.

He also wants to try the fun of feeding!

As soon as the black chicken soup arrived in front of Chen Xi, the three people who were chatting happily looked at him, as if to say: What's wrong with you, kid?

Liu Bingzhang embarrassedly pushed it away, retracted his hand, and said with an awkward smile: "I see that the master has eaten so much greasy food, it's time to drink some soup to relieve the greasiness."

It seemed to be true, and everyone returned to their original happy mood.

Liu Bingzhang watched Chen Xi pick up the black chicken soup and take a sip. He felt so proud that the bitter gourd in his mouth became sweet.

Keep putting it into your mouth.

Liu Ming frowned. His son hated bitter things the most, but today he almost finished a whole plate of stir-fried bitter melon. It was really like the sun rising from the west.

After dinner, after a short rest, Liu Ming took Chen Xi to the antique market.

Chen Xi had told him the reason for his visit on the phone in advance, so Liu Ming had made an appointment with his old friend last night to come over today to look at the materials.

When the two arrived, the store was closed.

Liu Ming knocked on the door, and it opened from the inside. An old man with a long braid, wearing a pair of glasses and a white beard poked his head out from the crack of the door.

When he saw that the people coming were Liu Ming and a little girl, he opened the door a little wider, welcomed them in, and then closed the door again.

Liu Ming introduced: "This is the master I mentioned to you. She saved my son's life!"

When the old man heard this, he looked at Chen Xi with his deep eyes. He sizing him up and down for a moment, stroked his beard, and nodded in approval: "Well, he has an extraordinary temperament. You can tell at first glance that he is an extraordinary person."

He paused and continued, "It's rare for someone of this age to have achieved such success. I'm the owner of this store. My last name is Hu. You can call me Manager Hu like everyone else."

Chen Xi raised his eyebrows, feeling that this person's words and deeds were full of the charm of the ancients, and felt very familiar, as if he had returned to the world of immortal cultivation.

Chen Xi smiled and replied, "Shopkeeper Hu, you're right. There are many powerful people in the world, but no one walks the world like me."

Several people sat in the living room, sipping tea and chatting briefly. Manager Hu thought of the purpose of their visit and called out to the inner courtyard, "Xiao Zhang, go and get all the jade blocks I prepared last night."

After a while, a boy of about seventeen or eighteen came in from the back door pushing a small cart.

The cart was full of jade pieces of various sizes, all of which were of excellent quality. Chen Xi's brows relaxed, as this was quite unexpected.

If it wasn't that Shopkeeper Hu and Liu Ming had a very good relationship, then it was that Shopkeeper Hu needed her help with something else?

After Liu Ming pushed the things up, he kept observing Chen Xi carefully. Seeing her expression relaxed, he knew that this was exactly what she wanted, and he felt happy in his heart.

"Master, shall we choose?" he suggested.

Chen Xi nodded, followed Liu Ming forward, and looked at the stones scattered on the ground.

There are some pieces among them, and just by looking at the appearance, Liu Ming feels that there must be good things inside.
