How can someone travel through time and space and become a beggar?

"Xia Tian, bring the brothers over here," Wang Yong called out from the main hall. Xia Tian's voice echoed from behind, and soon the three boys came over. "Let's go to the yard and start doing horse stance. Aren't we going to learn martial arts?"

Xia Tian's eyes lit up, "How do I do the horse stance?"

Wang Yong came over and made a model for himself, "Squat down with your legs bent, with your thighs and calves perpendicular."

Xia Tian and the other two followed his example and half-crouched down.

He patted his knees and said, "Don't let your knees extend beyond your toes. Keep your five toes gripping the ground. Push your knees outwards and keep your crotch round."

The three children did as they were told.

"Keep your body's center of gravity between your feet, facing straight ahead. Lower your shoulders and elbows, bend your elbows in front of your chest, keep your head and neck straight, slightly close your teeth, press your tongue against the roof of your mouth, and focus your attention on your Qi Hai (Qi Hai) Dan Tian (Dantian) area. Breathe through your nose, long, smooth, deep, and even breaths." Wang Yong finished, then stood up and began adjusting their stance. Guan Xu was young, and evenly squatting, not to mention his posture, began to sway.

Xia Tian, on the other hand, had a resolute face and a determined gaze. He didn't look like he was in a horse stance, but rather like he was ready to attack at any time.

Wang Yong nodded. As expected of the eldest, he learned everything faster than his brothers and was the most patient. His legs were clearly trembling, but he gritted his teeth and held on. People who first started doing horse stance couldn't hold it for long.

Guan Xu trembled for a while, his legs weakened, and he sat down on the ground. Zhang Zhou held out longer than him, but soon gave up.

Only in summer, he clenched his teeth, his facial muscles were tense, and his neck gradually turned red, but he could only tremble and not fall down.

"Good boy, hold on a little longer." Wang Yong couldn't help but praise him, then pulled up Zhang Zhou and Guan Xu and asked them to continue.

Wang Yong didn't teach her anything else today except horse stance. When it was time for dinner, Xia Tian dragged his weak legs slowly to the table. He wanted to help in the kitchen, but he couldn't even stand.

Dong Xiaohuan came out with a bowl of rice, and Xia Chu followed behind with the bowl and chopsticks, "Dinner is ready."

"Okay, I'll serve the rice." Wang Yong first added a bowl to his wife's bowl, which was level. The second bowl piled up like a small mountain, and when it was placed in front of Xia Tian, it made a thud.

Xia Tian's eyes widened, "Dad, this is too much. I can't finish it."

Wang Yong glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and said as he filled his second bowl of rice, "Feed the pigs if you can't finish it. Who are you trying to make miserable by starving yourself every day while you're growing up? Your mother and sister are so worried sick. They think we can't afford to eat. Man, stop dawdling. Finish your meal. From now on, when you serve yourself, just use this amount. Eat until you're full. Do you understand?"

His tone wasn't harsh, but it carried an air of authority that brooked no refusal. Xia Tian glanced at his mother and sister, then nodded in response.

Zhang Zhou and Guan Xu looked at each other and obediently held the bowls of rice that were also piled with rice.

"You're the eldest brother, you have to set a good example for your younger brothers." Wang Yong added, "Eat."

Dong Xiaohuan didn't expect him to be so rude, but it seemed to be within her expectations. She lowered her head and smiled, then picked up a piece of shredded pork for him with her chopsticks.

This meal was not collected, and the entire table of dishes and a large bowl of rice were eaten clean. Cooks probably like it this way, with clean plates and bowls, with no leftovers. Dong Xiaohuan smiled, "That's how it should be, eating well is good for growth."

"I'll go wash the dishes!" Xia Tian burped, stood up, and then sat down again while gasping for breath.

"Ouch, what's wrong?" Dong Xiaohuan was startled and hurried over to look at his legs.

"It's okay. It hurt like this the day before, and it will hurt more tomorrow." Wang Yong waved his hand, "Let them sit for a while, I'll push them later."

"I'll just wash the dishes." Xia Chu cleaned up the dishes, but Dong Xiaohuan was reluctant to let such a little person wash so many things, so she helped to wash them.

After washing up in the evening, Wang Yong walked into Xia Tian's room with the medicated oil. Xia Tian lay flat on the bed, feeling as if his body was broken.

"Does it hurt?" Wang Yong smiled, stripped his pants, poured some medicated oil on them and rubbed them to warm them up. While pushing his legs, he said, "Boy, I know you've suffered a lot in the past. But my family, since we've acknowledged you, it must be sincere. You'll be my son forever. Don't dwell on these things all day long. Live peacefully. We won't drive you away just because you eat too much. You worry about it yourself, and it affects your younger brothers and sisters, and your mother is worried too. Eat when you should and sleep when you should. Tell me anything you want. The way other people's fathers and sons are, is the same way in our family, understand?"

Xia Tian's eyes were filled with tears and he wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked and he could only mumble "hmm".

"There's a Ruoshui Academy in the south. I'll see if I can find a way to get you and the second child in there by next year at the latest. Be obedient at home and take care of mom and your younger siblings. That'll make me feel at ease when we're out there. Don't dwell on those nonsense, do you hear me?"

"Ah."

"Okay, go to bed early. You'll be in pain tomorrow." Wang Yong slapped his leg, pulled up his pants, and went to Zhang Zhou's room. He didn't scold Zhang Zhou. Although this child looked smart, he was actually the most honest. When he reached Guan Xu's room, he heard a series of small snores. Wang Yong massaged his legs, but he didn't wake up.

After that day, Xia Tian really stopped holding back his appetite. After a few days of observation, Dong Xiaohuan had a pretty good idea of everyone's appetite, and she was able to cook more appropriately. However, the rice jar was emptying really fast; it would be time to buy more rice in a few days.

The first thing Wang Yong did every day when he got home was to watch the three boys do horse stance. Keeping their lower body steady was the first step in practicing martial arts. Only after strengthening their waist and abdomen could they learn other moves. Otherwise, their punches wouldn't hurt them at all.

Xia Chu discussed it with Dong Xiaohuan for a few days and began preparing to set up their stall again. The walk was too far, so they first needed a cart. This cart had to be spacious enough to accommodate both the griddle and the small pot.

Yes, they are going to sell both pancakes and fried sausages.

Xia Chu actually wanted to sell fried skewers, but many items were difficult to prepare. For example, the popular chicken fillets, chicken racks, and chicken legs were not easy to prepare. They didn't sell individual parts right now; if you wanted to buy a whole chicken, you had to buy it.

Pork skewers and lamb skewers are easy to make, but without cumin, the taste will probably be greatly reduced. Let's see later.

In fact, spicy hot pot and cold pot skewers are also popular. Unfortunately, Xia Chu doesn't know how to make soup base or stir-fry base.

It takes three days to pick up the customized car. Dong Xiaohuan is familiar with all the necessary preparations and bought them herself.

In the summer, I help grind multi-grain flour. It doesn’t matter if I grind more. This thing can be prevented anyway.

But it is not easy to make sausages in advance. It is summer now. You can only make them every morning, otherwise they will lose their freshness after being left overnight and may even have an unpleasant smell.

So they decided to go out and set up a stall in the afternoon every day. The pancakes can be eaten as dinner, and the fried sausages will not take up space in the stomach and can be eaten as snacks. They believe that someone will buy them.
