When they heard Li Xi mention the machete, Mrs. Li and Li Yinzhu both shuddered. How could they dare to go over there after she said that?

Having wasted a long time just now, Li Xi was worried that the aunts would come out again after dinner, so she quickened her pace. Fortunately, when she arrived at the village entrance, she did not see any figures under the big tree.

She breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards where the carriage was parked outside the village.

The coachman saw Li Xi coming back and came down to help her move the horse stool.

Li Xi got into the car with her things in her hands and said, "Okay, let's go."

Li Xi came back not too late, but it took her a long time on the way. When she got home, Hu Zi had already finished school.

When Li Xi opened the door, she saw Hu Zi lying on the small table in the corridor, writing big characters.

"This desk is so low, it's so uncomfortable. Why don't you go inside and write?" Li Xi had someone make a large desk for Hu Zi and placed it in his room. The small low table outside was used to place tea sets and snacks when she lay on the recliner.

“Not too short.”

Li Xi knew that he was waiting for her specially, so she walked over and took a look at the big words he wrote. The handwriting looked very childish.

"Not bad, there is progress."

Hearing his sister praising him, Hu Zi's eyes lit up and he looked up, "Really?"

"Of course it's true." Li Xi looked at the setting sun outside. The gentle sunset glow hung on the horizon, dyeing most of the sky.

"Okay, hurry up, when you're done writing, I'll take you out for dinner."

Li Xi had a bumpy ride in the carriage, and this was still an official road. The roads in ancient times were really hard to describe.

Hu Zi had long been accustomed to eating out, so he answered and went into the house with his things. It was indeed a little inconvenient to write on the small table.

Li Xi smiled and shook her head, picked up the blanket on the recliner, sat down and covered herself with it.

Because of the temperature, she specially placed a small stove next to the lounge chair on the porch. She had turned it off when she left, and it is now burning warmly. It must be that Hu Zi came back to light it.

Feeling his body gradually warming up and softening, Li Xi sighed and said, it was still this comfortable.

Li Xi lay there for about a quarter of an hour, and Hu Zi came out with the big words, "Sister, I'm fine, let's go."

"Yeah." Li Xi got up from the recliner, turned off the small stove, and took Hu Zi out.

"Let's go and check out Yunlai Restaurant today." She hasn't been there since she sold the recipe half a month ago, so today was a good opportunity to go and take a look.

"Okay." Hu Zi smacked his lips as he remembered the squirrel mandarin fish he had eaten there last time.

"What did you teach today?"

"Three Character Classic."

"Oh, is there anyone bullying you in the private school?"

"No one bullies me."

"Well, if someone bullies you, you fight back. If you can't win, just admit defeat and wait for your sister to teach them a lesson. We, Li Xi's younger brother, can eat anything, but you can't suffer any loss, understand?" Li Xi taught him seriously.

Hu Zi nodded, "Got it."

"Okay, good boy." Li Xi touched his head.

……

"There are so many people." Hu Zi stood at the door of Yunlai Inn, looking at the hall full of people in surprise.

The waiter walked among the guests at one table after another. Although he was very tired, he had a big smile on his face.

This scene was completely different from when they came here half a month ago, as if the previous desolation was just a dream.

Before finding the right person, Su Jianye, who was temporarily acting as a waiter, saw Li Xi and her brother at the door, and quickly put the guests' dishes on their table and walked towards them quickly.

"Miss Li, how did you find the time to come here? Please come in, please come in."

Su Jianye led the way and took them to the second floor, with a constant smile on his face, "Thanks to the recipe you sold me, our Yunlai Restaurant has come back to life.

Now, braised spareribs and squirrel mandarin fish have become our restaurant’s signature dishes, and the demand for them is simply outstripping supply.”

When the restaurant business was bad before, the waiters left because they were worried about not being able to pay the money. There were only three of them left in the store. These days, they have been so busy that they have no time to rest, but they are also happy and sad.

In just half a month, he had earned back the money he spent on the recipe book.

"You have vision and courage." After all, for them at that time, two hundred taels of silver was not a small amount of money, it could be considered a gamble.

There was only one private room left on the second floor. If Li Xi and his friends had arrived later, it might have been gone.

"Please come in, both of you." Su Jianye said as he pushed open the door.

Hu Zi followed Li Xi in and sat down.

"What would you like to eat, Miss Li?"

"Squirrel mandarin fish, braised spareribs, some vegetables, and two bowls of rice. That's it for now."

Yunlai Restaurant has made a comeback because of its braised spare ribs and squirrel mandarin fish, which shows that these two dishes are well cooked, but she still remembers the taste of the dishes made by Liu Dun, so she has to be careful.

"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll let Liu Dun take a seat."

After Su Jianye left, Hu Zi sat on the stool and swung his little feet happily.

When all the dishes were served, Hu Zi ate without even raising his head. Of course, he didn't touch the vegetables at all. Li Xi didn't indulge him and directly picked up a large piece of food for him with his chopsticks, "Children should not be picky eaters. They won't grow tall if they don't eat vegetables."

Hu Zi doesn't like eating vegetables, but in order to grow taller, he still puts them in his mouth, chews them and swallows them.

Li Xi looked at his expression, which was like he was taking medicine, and shook her head, "Is it that serious?"

After she finished speaking, she took a bite, put it in her mouth, and chewed it twice with an expressionless face. It was not Hu Zi's fault, it was indeed unpalatable.

In fact, the vegetables Liu Dun cooked this time were much better than last time, at least they were not overcooked.

Li Xi decisively changed the direction of her chopsticks and, like Hu Zi, focused on the sweet and sour spare ribs and squirrel mandarin fish.

Li Xi is used to eating only until she is 70% full for dinner. After taking a few bites, she put down her chopsticks.

I drank tea and waited for Hu Zi to eat. Although Hu Zi loved to eat, his stomach was small and he was full after eating for a short while.

Just when Li Xi was about to leave with Hu Zi, Sun Jianye came in with a fruit plate. The frozen pears cut into petals were placed on a white plate, like a crystal clear flower.

"This is the frozen pear my wife brought back from her parents' home. Miss Li, would you like to try it?"

This was the first time Li Xi had seen fruit since traveling through time.

Hu Zi had eaten pears before, but had never seen black pears. He looked at the frozen pears on the plate with curiosity.

Li Xi did not refuse, "Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Su."

Su Jianye waved his hand, "It's not something valuable, I just want to eat something rare."

Li Xi pushed the plate to Hu Zi and said, "Try it. Is it delicious?"

"Sister eats too."

"You eat first. I have something to discuss with Shopkeeper Su."

Hearing what Li Xi said, Hu Zi nodded sensibly, picked up a piece of frozen pear and began to taste it in small bites.

The rich sweetness in one mouthful makes the eater squint his eyes, it is so delicious.

"Manager Su, if you have anything to say, just say it." Li Xi looked at Hu Zi with a smile.

"Miss Li is smart." Because of those two recipes, Su Jianye now wanted to worship Li Xi as the God of Wealth. "I wonder if Miss Li has any other recipes?"
