Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

Ever since Boss Liu and his family left the village, no one knows where they went.

But the village returned to its previous peaceful state.

Although I was calm, I was also a little uneasy inside.

Because Xia Shengsheng’s first batch of vermicelli is about to be sold.

Tao Wuji calculated the day and came to Xia Shengsheng's house early in the morning with ten carriages.

"Why did Master Tao come so early? What time did he set out?

There's no need to be so anxious, right? The vermicelli is there and it won't go away."

When Tao Wuji arrived, Xia Shengsheng hadn't even had time to eat breakfast! That's why he asked this question.

"It would be easier to feel at ease if you come earlier, right?" Tao Wuji smiled awkwardly.

However, Tao Siyuan ran out of the carriage to sabotage Tao Wuji.

"Auntie, I'm here too, do you miss me?"

Xia Shengsheng didn't expect that Tao Siyuan would be able to come along this time. He thought it would be difficult to see him again in the future, but he didn't expect that Tao Siyuan would come along in just one month.

"Why are you here too? Do you have nothing to do? I came here to collect some vermicelli, but I disturbed you two, so you could have sent a steward."

Xia Shengsheng didn't believe it. Tao Wuji had such a big business. Did he have to personally take care of every business and receive the goods in person?

"Aunt, you don't know this! We set out from Hui'an Prefecture in the middle of the night and hurried to get to your house before breakfast.

It was really my father who missed the food at my aunt's house so much, otherwise he wouldn't have set off on the journey at night.

I was so sleepy that I arrived at the place, but I was still asleep. I only woke up slowly when I heard my aunt’s kind voice…”

"Cough cough..."

Tao Wuji coughed awkwardly twice and looked away. He wanted to stuff the brat back into the carriage. If he had known, he would not have brought him here. Why did he have to speak out his true feelings? How embarrassing!

"I think Brother Siyuan heard my mother's kind voice, or smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen! Otherwise, he wouldn't have come down so quickly."

Sicheng interrupted Tao Siyuan without any mercy. Although they hadn't seen each other for a month, he was very happy to see his brother Siyuan, whom he had been thinking about so much.

However, when Sicheng thought about snatching food from his brother Siyuan as soon as he came back, he was not so happy.

"Hey, you little brat! Why are you talking about your brother like that? Have you forgotten the friendship we had when we used to play together every day?

And Chao Chao and Xiao Ercheng, why don't you come and welcome me? What are you doing standing in the back? Are you acting like a door god?"

Tao Siyuan really didn't consider himself an outsider at all. He walked straight into the yard while talking, without any invitation from Xia Shengsheng.

Xia Shengsheng could only shake her head and watch Tao Siyuan playing with her children.

In fact, all the children like Tao Siyuan very much.

During the time when Tao Siyuan was around, he not only got along well with Sicheng, but also taught Ye Chao and Ercheng kung fu when Xia Shengsheng was not available.

So, the relationship between several people is good.

"Master Tao, please come in first! Breakfast is just ready, but I didn't cook anything special today. I'm afraid I'll disappoint Master Tao."

Tao Wuji watched his son walk in casually, and he was not left outside the door until Xia Shengsheng spoke, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It is indeed a bit presumptuous to come here so early in the morning.

"It's okay, it's okay. As long as there's something to eat, I'm not that picky."

Xia Shengsheng looked at the dozen people brought by Tao Wuji again.

He probably didn't have breakfast since he came out so early.

With so many people, it would be troublesome to do anything.

It’s better to get more instant noodles and cook them in one pot.

Each person takes a big bowl and can eat anywhere.

Xia Shengsheng invited Tao Wuji to the main hall.

Breakfast was served first, and Ye Chao and a few other boys were asked to help serve it.

Breakfast was cooked century egg and lean meat porridge, as well as fried dough sticks and pancakes made by Xia Shengsheng herself.

There were also some boiled eggs and milk.

After serving it, I went back to the kitchen to get busy.

"Why doesn't Madam Xia come over to eat?" Tao Wuji saw Xia Shengsheng return to the kitchen, and thought that Xia Shengsheng was concerned about the distinction between men and women, so she didn't come to the table to eat. Suddenly, he felt a little restless.

"My mother said she was going to cook some noodles for the uncles outside. She will be back soon. Master Tao, you eat first!"

Tao Wuji then understood what was going on, but he had forgotten about it.

He didn't sit there anymore, and instead grabbed Tao Siyuan, who was about to pick up his chopsticks, and walked out.

"Your aunt is helping to cook for so many people, and you still have the nerve to sit there and eat and drink like a guest? Go and help."

The children saw that Tao Wuji and his son had gone to the kitchen, so they didn't have to stay with them to entertain the guests.

They also went to the kitchen to help Xia Shengsheng cook.

When he arrived at the kitchen and saw Xia Shengsheng busy at work, Tao Wuji felt very embarrassed.

"In fact, they all brought dry food, so Xia Shengsheng doesn't have to cook for them."

Xia Shengsheng had already boiled the water and was about to put the unpacked instant noodles into the pot.

“Now that they are here, I can’t let them eat dry food without even a little soup.

The noodles are ready. Just put them in the pot and cook for a while. Don't worry about it, Mr. Tao!"

While Xia Shengsheng was talking, Tao Siyuan was already squatting at the stove to help add fire.

He looks very skilled.

Ye Chao and a few others also ran in. Some helped put the dough into the pot, some put the vegetable dumplings in, and some prepared the bowls and chopsticks.

This gave Xia Shengsheng some free time.

I can only give instructions from the side, what to put in this moment? What to put in this moment?

Nowadays, people who do heavy work can eat more.

Xia Shengsheng roughly counted and found that Tao Wuji brought a total of thirteen servants, and six of them seemed to be guards who knew martial arts.

For nineteen people, Xia Shengsheng prepared a total of 50 packets of instant noodles, which were too small to fit in one big pot.

I boiled water in the small pot next to me and started cooking the noodles.

A lot of sliced ​​sausages were also put into the pot to make the instant noodles taste better.

When the fragrance wafted out, Tao Siyuan, who was squatting on the ground making a fire, began to drool.

The other children were better off. After all, when Xia Shengsheng didn't have time to cook, he would always cook instant noodles to save time.

Tao Wuji, who was standing at the door, asked curiously:

"This smells so good! What kind of noodles is this? They are round and they fall apart as soon as they are put into the pot. They are also long and curly. This is the first time I have seen noodles like this!"

When Xia Shengsheng saw Tao Wuji's eyes shining, he suddenly felt that the next factory might be about to open.

"This thing is called instant noodles. It is fried noodles in advance, and then added with prepared sauces and seasonings. It is very convenient to make.

There are many flavors, such as braised, pickled cabbage, chicken stewed with mushrooms, there are many choices! ”

While he was saying this, the noodles in the pot were ready.

Xia Shengsheng first picked out a bowl for Tao Wuji.

"Master Tao, how does it taste?"

Tao Wuji picked up the bowl and stood at the door, slurping his food without caring about whether it was elegant or not.

Xia Shengsheng asked Tao Siyuan to go to the front yard and call other people over, asking them to take their own bowls and serve themselves.

Otherwise, with so many people, it would be tiring just to serve the noodles.

"Okay! Auntie, you guys go to the main room to eat first!

Ye Chao, Er Cheng, serve a few bowls and bring them to the main room first, or I’m afraid it will be gone before I can eat it.”
