Li Xi went in and closed the door, then took out three headscarves from the big package and gave one to each person. They were called headscarves, but in fact they were just a piece of cloth that Li Xi found last night and cut into three pieces.

Gu Jingzhi glanced at the headscarf in his hand, then looked at Li Xi.

Li Xi quickly put her hair up and wrapped it tightly with a headscarf (just like the farmers in the game Happy Landlord). After she was done, she did not forget to tie Hu Zi's hair up as well.

Gu Jingzhi: ...

After Li Xi finished with Hu Zi, she saw that Gu Jingzhi hadn't made any move yet, so she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why? You want me to help you too?"

Cleaning is done, everyone is counted, no one can escape!

"Okay." Gu Jingzhi generously handed the headscarf to Li Xi.

Li Xi looked at him suspiciously, wondering what was wrong with him. But thinking that he was about to die, she didn't argue with him. She took the headscarf and motioned him to lower his head.

Gu Jingzhi bent down and looked at Li Xi. Li Dazhi put the headscarf on him in no time. After that, he took a step back to observe him.

Otherwise, he is a good-looking man and he would look good even in a sack. It is so ugly and he looks good in it.

"Okay, let's start cleaning."

Although Dr. Wu's house looks clean, it is better to clean it thoroughly before moving in.

"Hu Zi, go wipe the kang, and you go sweep the yard." Li Xi directed them.

"Okay!" Hu Zi agreed immediately and rushed into the room with the handkerchief he was given.

Gu Jingzhi stood there with a broom in his hand. Seeing that he didn't understand, Li Xi pouted and said, "I'll go clean up the kitchen!" What a guy! Did he think she would be lazy?

Li Xi didn't notice that she was becoming more and more relaxed in front of Gu Jingzhi.

Because of her upbringing, Li Xi has always pretended to be a little adult. In everyone's eyes, her biggest label is reliable.

But in fact, Li Xi is a very simple person at heart. Because she grew up with her grandfather in the mountains and forests, she is a very lively and simple person. It's just that later she had to disguise herself by being strong and steady.

Gu Jingzhi looked at Li Xi's angry back, raised the corners of his mouth, picked up the broom and started sweeping the floor.

By the time everything was sorted and in order, the sun was already at its zenith.

After working for most of the day, Li Xi was too tired to cook.

"Okay, go change your clothes. We're going out to eat at noon today." Li Xi said and went in to change clothes.

Without Madam Liu at home, Gu Jingzhi no longer needed to hide, so he had been living in the same room with Hu Zi all these days, even after moving to the city.

Doctor Wu's house has three large rooms, one for Li Xi, one for Hu Zi and one for Gu Jing. The middle room is the main room, and there are two auxiliary rooms, one is the kitchen and the other is a warehouse. Li Xi plans to take some time to convert it into a pharmacy.

After they changed their clothes, Li Xi locked the door and left with them.

Li Xi was not very familiar with Jiangning City, but they passed by a restaurant on the way here, which was not far from them, so they planned to go there.

"Is this the place you are talking about?" Gu Jingzhi looked at the restaurant, which was still deserted even though they had already arrived at the hotel. After a moment of silence, he asked.

Li Xi said stubbornly, "Maybe people in Jiangning City prefer to cook for themselves."

Gu Jingzhi looked at her: Do you believe this?

"Let's go. Why do you ask for so much when someone else is treating you?" Li Xi walked in first.

"How are you, gentlemen?" The waiter at the counter's eyes lit up when he saw Li Xi and the other two, and he hurriedly came over with a smile.

"Three." Li Xi said as he looked around the interior of the restaurant. It was nice and clean.

"Is this a private room or the lobby?"

Li Xi glanced at the empty lobby and said, "Lobby bar."

There is no difference between the lobby and the private rooms.

"Okay, come on, please take a seat here." The waiter brought Li Xi and the other two to the table. After they sat down, the waiter asked, "What would you like to eat today?"

"What does Huzi want to eat?"

It was Hu Zi's first time in the restaurant, and everything he saw was new and interesting. He only came to his senses when he heard Li Xi calling him, "Hu Zi wants to eat meat."

"Then I want some braised pork."

"Braised pork?" The waiter looked confused. "What is that?"

"Red-braised pork is very delicious meat." After Li Xi made it last time, Hu Zi always remembered that the delicious meat was called red-braised pork.

However, Gu Jingzhi had not come yet at that time, so Li Xi had not cooked any big dishes anymore and usually just made do with some tricks.

Li Xi: Uh...it seems that there is no braised pork in this time and space.

"Forget it, let's change to salted chicken."

“Brine chicken?

Sir, I'm sorry, we don't have this either.

We have stewed chicken, stewed meat, stewed fish, goose, stir-fried pork with cabbage, stir-fried mushrooms, stir-fried cabbage, and cold dishes. What would you like to eat?"

The waiter was afraid that the customer would ask for some dishes he had never heard of, so he quickly recited his own menu.

Li Xi: …

Stewed chicken, stewed meat, stewed fish, these simple names are perfect.

"Then we need stewed fish, stewed meat, fried mushrooms, and cold dishes." Li Xi asked Gu Jingzhi, "Is there anything else you want to eat?"

"No, that's enough."

Three people, four dishes, enough.

"Okay, that's all we'll take, plus three bowls of rice, thank you."

After hearing the word "thank you", the waiter looked at Li Xi in surprise and said, "You're welcome. This is what I should do."

Although he said so, he still felt warm in his heart. This was the first time he heard a guest say thank you to him.

Gu Jingzhi was a trouble in Li Xi's eyes, so Li Xi was always rude to him. He had only heard Li Xi thank Doctor Wu and Master Jiang before.

Li Xi noticed the looks of the waiter and Gu Jingzhi, but she said nothing. What's wrong? Are people not allowed to be polite?

The waiter told them to wait a moment and went to the kitchen to urge them to serve the food. Actually, there was no need to urge them, after all, they were the only table in the whole restaurant.

Soon, the waiter brought all the dishes they ordered to the table, "Sir, your dishes are ready, please enjoy."

Li Xi looked at the four plates of food on the table and fell silent before even starting to eat. The dishes were average, but the portions were a bit too large.

She was just thinking that four dishes for three people would be just right, but looking at the portions, they would have to eat more. For example, the stewed meat, isn't the meat free? Why is it served in a bowl? And the fried mushrooms, the portions are so large that they are about to overflow.

With this amount of food, how could this restaurant be so deserted?

"So many." Hu Zi opened his mouth wide.

"Eat it first, it will get cold soon." Li Xi picked up a piece of meat for Hu Zi, "Eat it, it's your favorite meat."

After serving Hu Zi, Li Xi picked up a piece of stewed meat for herself. After taking a bite, Li Xi knew why the business of this restaurant was so quiet.

This dish, well, how can I describe it? It’s hard to describe in a few words.
