"Father, I don't know. Silang, come here right now, who told you this?"
"I... Waaah, don't hit me!"
Chickens and dogs were running around in the yard.
Both fathers wanted to beat their sons.
Life was noisy, but also very joyful.
This was the first impression the manager of Tianxianglou had when he visited.
"...I came to see how Sister-in-law Chi is doing...I also wanted to ask if Sister-in-law Chi could at least come over once in a while? Even if it's only once every five days and I can't go for a day or half a day, just for a short while and cook a few dishes would be fine."
The customers in my restaurant have all become picky eaters thanks to Sister Chi's excellent cooking skills. Now, whenever Sister Chi is supposed to be there, many customers specifically go there to eat.
You know, it's also my problem. Sister-in-law Chi didn't hide anything, but my cook just can't make it taste like hers!
Now I'm afraid to go to restaurants anymore, because every time I go, people keep asking me when I can eat Sister Chi's cooking again.
I know that at this time, it's more important for Sister-in-law Chi to take care of her pregnancy, but my restaurant... I have no choice but to swallow my pride and come up here.
"Our priority must be Sister-in-law Chi's health. Once she's feeling better, we can see if she can go to a restaurant and cook even just three dishes. That way, I'll have something to report back to."
Absolutely not an exaggeration!
Now he's afraid to go to restaurants.
If a customer catches you, you'll get a barrage of questions!
He was puzzled as well.
Sister-in-law Chi absolutely did not hold anything back!
Because every time Sister Chi cooks, the chef next to her stares at her intently!
But I just can't recreate the taste of Sister Chi's cooking.
Even with a different chef, it's still the same!
There was no other way but to swallow my pride and come to Sister-in-law Chi.
"...The price is negotiable...Ten coins per dish, how about that?"
After seeing the shopkeeper off, the Chi family members all clicked their tongues in amazement.
"This is really going all out! Ten coins for a dish? How much does he make from each dish?" Chi Sanhe was truly envious.
He even considered shamelessly going to his sister-in-law to learn how to cook.
How can someone who can cook make so much money?
"Is it about how much money they make from one dish? Everyone's been hooked by the dishes my sister-in-law makes. Are we going to go to Tianxiang Restaurant just to eat that one dish? Are we going to give up if we don't get it? Tianxiang Restaurant must have made a lot of money from my sister-in-law's cooking to justify such a price."
Chi Sihai analyzed the situation logically and clearly.
How could a businessperson voluntarily "give up profits"?
It's just that there are more baits luring us in front.
Everyone thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.
"Mom, you're amazing!"
Little Suotou held his mother's hand, his face full of filial piety.
Now even his mother can earn so much money.
Sister-in-law Chi was in a good mood after being praised, and gently patted her son's head: "Little Lock is very capable too. Didn't the teacher praise you today?"
Speaking of this, Aunt Chi thought of something.
Aunt Chi went to ask Si Lang, "Si Lang, why are you fighting again? Grandma sent you to school, why do you always seem to be fighting?"
What's wrong with this child?
They are all grandsons of the same family, but Xiao Suotou's grandmother is praised while Silang's grandmother is scolded.
It's pitiful that she's so old, yet she still has to keep apologizing to people.
Who told his fourth son to beat someone up?
Silang's face immediately darkened, his lips pursed, and his thin lips looked very much like Xiao Zhou's, which made Aunt Chi feel disgusted.
"He teased me first, so can I let him have his way? Grandma, I don't want to study anymore, I don't want to get up so early, it's so boring."
Knowing that his grandmother had been doting on him lately, Silang immediately grabbed her arm and shook it, pleading, "Grandma, I want to catch grasshoppers and cicadas! I want to go down to the river to catch snails! I want to go to..."
"Play, play, play. All you ever do is play."
Aunt Chi's face fell instantly.
Why is this child so stubborn and unwilling to listen?
Old Man Chi also said, "Don't take your good fortune for granted. When I was your age, I couldn't even go to school."
"I'm quite envious of you."
Shiro was genuinely envious.
He really doesn't like going to school.
The old man was very noisy, saying a lot of things he couldn't understand, and he would always hit his hand with a bamboo stick.
He doesn't like that old man at all.
Old Man Chi: ...
"What are you envious of me for! Chi Sanhe, you need to keep a closer eye on your son! Now that the family has the means for them to go to school, he still doesn't want to study. What does he want to do? Go to heaven? He's inherited all this laziness from you!"
have to!
Chi Sanhe was scolded again.
Now that Chi Sanhe has been scolded so much he's become accustomed to it, he calmly discusses with his son, "Silang, you need to study. At least you should know how to write your name, right? Otherwise, how will you get by in the future?"
"I'll just do whatever you want now," Silang said, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
The whole family took turns trying to persuade him, but Silang just didn't want to go to school.
Finally, after being beaten by Aunt Chi, he tearfully promised to go to school the next day.
What no one expected was that trouble would come soon.
The season of lush grass and soaring birds has slipped away in the blink of an eye, leaving you only to yearn for the comfort and beauty of spring under the scorching summer sun.
July has officially begun.
The scorching heat of July is no joke.
That day, Chi Sihai finished making eight fan-carts, and after testing them and finding no problems, the Chi family members went together to deliver them.
First, one was given to the county magistrate's family, then to several well-known wealthy households in the town, then to the private school, one to the headmaster of the academy where Chi Erchuan worked, and finally, two were kept for his own family use.
When he returned, Chi Sihai was somewhat dejected.
Despite the demonstration, no one expressed a desire to place an order immediately.
"Don't rush, take your time."
As the eldest brother, Chi Dashan has always cared about his younger brothers.
He paid extra attention to Chi Sihai today, so when Chi Sihai arrived home and couldn't hide his disappointment, he immediately offered words of comfort.
"Exactly, it's already amazing that you were able to make it. Even if we can't sell it, at least it'll be convenient for our own use. You're much better than your third brother."
Chi Sanhe was nonchalant, with a blade of grass dangling from his mouth.
Chi Sihai rubbed his face twice and nodded heavily: "I know, we'll know after the wheat harvest."
Even though I knew this would be the outcome, I couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation on the way.
well.
"Oh my, eldest daughter-in-law, come and see! Tangtang made this soap, it smells really good!" Aunt Chi's joyful and surprised voice came from the inner courtyard.
"Did your sister make a successful soap? Come in and take a look."
Just as the men of the Chi family were about to go inside, someone arrived at the door.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he smelled something: "Excuse me, is this the Chi family's residence? Shiro... he's... in trouble!"
"What?"?
