"Brother Qian, if you want to eat in the future, just come to my house and you can eat as much as you want." Xu Wenwu said.
Along the way, the Xu brothers and Qian Xuedong talked about some things in the village, and Qian Xuedong listened carefully to what the brothers said.
"Your family is really kind and righteous. Not only do you provide a livelihood for the villagers, but you also spend money to build a school for the children in the village to go to school. There are not many families like yours." Qian Xuedong said.
Xu Wenwu said a few humble words, and then Uncle Xu found a few people and said, "Wenwu, your grandmother has asked someone to prepare the food. It's time to take Master Qian back and eat."
So they returned to the Xu family. The servants had already brought the food to the table, and the Xu family was waiting for them to come back.
"Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu, thank you so much for making so many dishes to entertain Xuedong."
The old man smiled and said, "I'll just call you Xuedong. You have a good relationship with Wenwu and the others. I also heard from Xiaowu that you often help them in the academy. And I know your father and grandfather. You don't have to be polite. Come here often in the future."
Qian Xuedong said: "Okay, thank you Grandpa Xu, I will come often in the future."
After everyone sat down, the old man brought out some blueberry wine, which was just right for the children, but they were not allowed to drink too much.
"Xuedong, come and try my blueberry wine. It tastes sweet and not spicy at all." said the old man.
"Okay, I just saw your winery in the village. Brother Wenwu said that the wine you brew is very delicious. I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to taste it now." So Qian Xuedong didn't hesitate and poured himself a glass.
"Grandpa Xu, Grandma Xu, and all the uncles and aunts, let me offer you a toast first. Thank you for your hospitality." After saying that, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
After the wine was finished, Qian Xuedong said, "It's really a good wine. I've never seen wine of this color and this good. It has a very mild taste."
"If Mr. Qian likes it, you can bring back a jar of each later so that Mr. Qian can have a taste as well," said the old man.
"Thank you, Grandpa Xu, but I can't take this wine for free. I heard from Wenwu that this wine has always been sold in the capital. I think it must be very expensive. I will pay the money to buy two jars and take them back."
"Xuedong, you are being too polite. It's just two jars of wine. How can I accept your money? You have a good relationship with Wenwu and the others, and you call me Grandpa Xu. Just consider it a gift from me as your grandfather. Accept it!" said the old man.
"Brother Xuedong, since it's a gift from your grandfather, just accept it." Xu Wenwu also advised.
"Well... well, thank you, Grandpa Xu."
"You are such a polite kid. Come, eat the food first." The old man said with a smile.
Xiaowu was also introducing the dishes on the table to Qian Xuedong. Some of them were developed by Qibao and tasted good. They were often seen on the table at home. However, this was the first time Qian Xuedong had eaten such dishes, and he liked every one of them.
Not long after the meal, Qian Xuedong said goodbye and left. The old man also packed a jar of each type of wine for him to take back.
After sending Qian Xuedong away, the old man went to the place where the academy was being built. Several of his brothers also went to the mountain to train, but Qibao did not go. She was very relieved that even if her brothers encountered problems that they could not solve, they would be able to escape safely.
Qibao felt that he had not visited the Twelve Guards for a long time, so he entered the space and went to the mountain where they were training. Standing on the top of the mountain, he looked at the twelve people halfway up the mountain. He saw that they were struggling to rush to the top of the mountain with determination on their faces. Even Manman had put aside her previous tendency to cry at the slightest provocation and was trying hard to climb up.
Qibao nodded in satisfaction and stood there without moving, waiting for the twelve people.
The first one to climb up was Yueyang, as he had the advantage of height. The last one was naturally Manman, but he had short legs and there was nothing he could do. However, he was still very impressive.
When the twelve people saw Qibao, they all showed surprise on their faces. Qibao smiled and said, "I see that you are much stronger than before, and you seem to be taller too."
"Yes, miss, I don't feel so tired now when climbing up the mountain, and time goes much faster. Master Xiao Ling said that we are still illiterate and the skills can only be passed on orally. Miss, when can we learn to read?" Yue Xiao said expectantly.
Qibao said, "When the school is built, you can go there to learn how to read. At night, you can come here to practice martial arts and sleep here. This way, you will have plenty of time."
The twelve people also knew that the place they were in was different. It never got dark, and there were no other living creatures on the entire mountain, not even a bug. However, the young lady didn't explain it, so it must be a secret. They just trained and would never ask.
"Okay, we'll listen to the lady."
After chatting with them for a while, Qibao left, but did not leave the space. She planned to make some more pills for preparation, and then make two more cans of loquat paste, as He Jie's was almost finished.
When my brother and his friends came back in the evening, they were carrying several preys and a sika deer.
Xiao Wu said, "Sister, we went up the mountain and encountered white wolves. We even hunted with them!"
Qibao said, "Then you guys are awesome."
Wang took the prey from her grandson and planned to make spicy rabbit cubes in the evening.
Qibao came to the small pond in the yard, picked a few lotus flowers, peeled the lotus seeds, and then picked the lotus flowers one by one, intending to make a fried lotus dish.
Qibao thought that the lotus root would be edible after a while. Her favorite dishes were lotus root slices with vinegar and lotus root cakes.
