Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

After laughing, everyone felt much more relaxed.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Xia Shengsheng decided to take the children out for a big meal.

She has never eaten in an ancient restaurant!

I don’t know what it looks like!

However, on the way to the restaurant, Xia Shengsheng saw a shop called Juyuanhao and initially thought it was selling Buddhist supplies.

Later, I couldn't help but go in and take a look out of curiosity.

It turned out to be a shop selling weapons.

Shops like this that sell weapons are usually opened by the imperial court.

There are all kinds of knives, guns, sticks and clubs inside, and you can customize any type of weapon you want.

Xia Shengsheng took a fancy to a bow and arrow, which had a good feel and weight, and also an exquisite and small dagger.

Xia Shengsheng felt that it would be useful in the future.

So I spent 30 taels to buy two items.

"Mom, why did you buy a bow and arrow?" After coming out, Liu Ercheng couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Of course we're going up the mountain to hunt!" Xia Shengsheng replied.

"Mom, the mountains are dangerous. Last time you promised that you would never go into the mountains again. Why are you breaking your promise?"

"Yes! Mom, there are many scary monsters in the mountains. You can't go into the mountains."

"mother……"

Xia Shengsheng looked at the children and stopped them one after another. He looked around and called the children together in a mysterious manner.

"Actually! I forgot to tell you that I learned martial arts before, and I'm very skilled. Even the people in our village and that hunter may not be able to beat me!

I didn't tell you before because I was afraid that your father's self-esteem would be hurt if he knew how powerful your mother is.

Now there are not so many concerns.

I promise you that these deep mountains are as safe to me as flat ground. The wild animals in the mountains will just bow their heads when they see me. There will be absolutely no danger.

You will believe me, right?"

The children suddenly felt that Xia Shengsheng seemed to have some kind of magical power that made them nod their heads involuntarily, and inexplicably believed that what their mother said must be right.

Xia Shengsheng looked at the children with satisfaction and continued to walk forward with a proud look on his face.

When a family of five stood in front of a three-story restaurant, they felt that the whole restaurant exuded grandeur!

"Jinfulou? Why does it feel like the name of a gold shop? So luxurious!" Xia Shengsheng touched his nose and couldn't help but sigh!

Several children looked at Xia Shengsheng in surprise, "Mom? Can you read?"

Xia Shengsheng then remembered that the original body seemed illiterate, and the children were so old but had never been to school.

It seems that another matter has to be put on the agenda. How can she let her children be blind?

"Of course your mother can read, but she doesn't know many words. You forgot that she used to work in an old boy's house, so she learned some words by osmosis."

After hearing this, several children nodded, thinking it made sense.

Fortunately, the original body was not a native resident of the village, although his status was very low in the past.

But if Xia Shengsheng suddenly acquired some new skills, he could completely attribute it to what he learned while working.

Moreover, the old boy's family was either dead or scattered, and there was no way to verify it.

"Let's go in and eat!" Xia Shengsheng waved his hand and led the anxious children into the restaurant.

There were already several tables of guests eating in the restaurant lobby.

One of the waiters saw Xia Shengsheng and his friends, put down his work and came over.

"Would you like to order something? We have all eight major cuisines in our restaurant, and the taste is one of the best in Ning'an Prefecture, but it's a bit expensive! Are you sure you want to eat?"

Although these words sound uncomfortable, the waiter's tone is still appropriate and it should just be a kind reminder.

Although Xia Shengsheng and the others were wearing brand new clothes, Xia Shengsheng was afraid that they would be too conspicuous, so he only chose the most ordinary fabrics.

The waiters in restaurants are the most discerning. They know the price of a certain piece of clothing, which also represents the person's consumption level.

What Xia Shengsheng and her friends wear is considered normal if they were eating at a small restaurant or stall.

Almost no one comes to the big restaurant to eat.

"It's okay. I brought some money with me today. I also heard that the dishes in your restaurant are delicious, so I brought a few children to try them."

Xia Shengsheng was not angry because of what the waiter said. Instead, she felt that the waiter was quite considerate.

After all, if someone looked down on them, they would just come up and chase them away instead of kindly reminding them that the food here is delicious but too expensive.

After hearing this, the waiter didn't say anything more, but smiled and found seats for a few people.

"Little Brother, can we go to the second floor?"

When Xia Shengsheng was outside just now, he saw the seats by the window on the second floor, from which he could directly see the street outside.

It is much more comfortable to sit there and eat than in the lobby on the first floor.

The waiter hesitated for a moment, then agreed with a smile and took a few people to the second floor!

Liu Shanshan, who was walking at the back, timidly pulled Liu Yiyi's arm. "Sister, do we really want to eat here? Does mother have money?"

Liu Yiyi was also very nervous, but she felt that her mother must have her reasons for wanting to eat here. If there was not enough money, she could just not eat and let her mother and her younger brothers and sisters try the food here!

"Let's listen to our mother and don't worry!"

Liu Ercheng's idea was that if his mother didn't have money to pay the bill later, he would stay and work to pay off the debt.

As long as it doesn't make things difficult for his mother, sister, and brothers and sisters, it's fine.

The youngest, Liu Sicheng, was always led by Xia Shengsheng.

My mind is full of thoughts about what to eat later. The food here must be delicious. If I had known, I would not have eaten that pancake just now. I would have left some more room in my stomach. What if I can't eat it later?

Xia Shengsheng and others were taken to the second floor and chose a seat facing the street.

"Wow!"

"Mom, it's so high!"

Liu Sicheng looked down from the second floor and was extremely excited. Even Liu Shanshan lost her previous caution and started cheering.

There were two tables of guests on the second floor, and they couldn't help but look in this direction.

Liu Yiyi and Liu Ercheng quickly grabbed their two younger brothers and sisters and forced them to sit down.

"Shanshan and Sicheng, be good and stop making noise! ​​It will disturb other people's meals."

Xia Shengsheng thought that there was no need to worry too much, as children are always more curious.

Besides, they didn't run around the house, they just stood at the window, looked out, and exclaimed a few words.

He is not considered a naughty child in the eyes of others.

"It's okay, we just need to keep the noise down. If you like to look outside, go ahead! But be careful, don't lean out, or you'll fall if you look back!"

The waiter beside him also smiled and said, "The view on the second floor of our ninth floor is the best. The third floor is full of private rooms, and the windows are rarely opened. You have made the right choice!"

"Give me the menu! Let's choose some dishes." Xia Shengsheng waited for a long time but the waiter didn't bring the menu, so he had to take the initiative to speak.

The waiter scratched his head in confusion. This was the first time someone asked for a menu! They didn't have one! And even if they did, could these guests read?

"I'm so sorry, sir, we don't have a menu. Can I tell you the names of the dishes?"

Xia Shengsheng suddenly remembered that in ancient times, when people dine in restaurants, they would just read out the names of dishes, and there was no menu, which was a bit troublesome.

"Okay!" Xia Shengsheng nodded slightly.

The waiter cleared his throat. "Our restaurant has steamed lamb, steamed bear paws, steamed deer tails, roast duck, roast chicken, roast goose, braised pork, braised duck, sauced chicken, bacon, pine flower tripe, dried meat, sausages, assorted Su dishes, smoked chicken tripe, steamed eight-treasure pig, glutinous rice stuffed duck, jarred pheasant, jarred quail, braised assorted items, braised goose, pheasant..."

Xia Shengsheng was confused after listening to this. Isn't this a running comment?

It seems that if you want to be a waiter, you need certain skills.

Several children were also attracted by the waiter's announcement of the dishes.

They had never heard of so many names of dishes.

And I’ve never seen anyone who can mention so many dish names without stuttering.

It's simply amazing.

"Stop..." Xia Shengsheng called the waiter. She couldn't remember the names of the dishes if she listened any further. So forget it! Don't tire the children.

"You talked for so long, but I didn't remember a word of it. How about this, there are only a few of us, so you can serve it as you wish! Let's serve four or five of your special dishes, and a bowl of rice for each person, that's about it!"

The waiter agreed immediately, poured tea for Xia Shengsheng and the others, and went downstairs to prepare.

Only after watching the waiter go downstairs did the children recover from their shock.

"Mom, that big brother is so awesome! He knows the names of so many dishes that I've never heard of." Liu Shanshan said with envy.

What she was thinking was: knowing so many names of dishes, one must have eaten them to remember them, so she was particularly envious.

"Then mom will make more money and take you out to eat more often. We will try all the dishes here, and we will know a lot of new dishes."

When the children heard what Xia Shengsheng said, they were not as excited as they had imagined, but shook their heads repeatedly.

"No, no, Mom, it's fine for us to eat at home."

"Yes, mother, I think the braised pork you made yesterday was the most delicious."

Several children were thinking, if they came to the restaurant to eat often in the future, how much would it cost?

No, no, don’t come here again.

Xia Shengsheng looked at the children, smiled and shook his head.

She was really tired of being poor, so she thought that she should do some business in the future to pave the way for her children.

Otherwise they would have no space, and what would happen if she died in the future, or suddenly traveled back in time one day.

Wouldn't they be eating up all the resources then?
