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

Xia Chu helped Dong Xiaohuan prepare dinner, and then Wang Yong and the others came back.

Zhang Zhou's right hand was injured, so Xia Chu gave him a spoon, but it was still not convenient for him to eat noodles, so he could only scoop them into his mouth.

"Today's incident is over. If something like this happens again next time, give him the money and remember what he looks like. Your safety is the most important thing, okay?" Wang Yong said to his sons.

"understood."

After dinner, Xia Chu had nothing to do, so he took Xia Tian and the others to pull weeds on the grass and learn to count.

"Why don't we bring my mother-in-law and father-in-law over? We can accommodate them at home now." Wang Yong asked while holding his wife's hand.

"I'm not even pregnant yet. Isn't it too early? I don't feel anything right now. I don't feel nausea or sleepiness like other pregnant women do. It feels unreal." Dong Xiaohuan looked at her flat belly. If it weren't for the pain last time, it would be as if she wasn't pregnant. "Besides, my dad definitely can't leave the family land. It's not right for him to stay home with Li Xi alone."

"That's right." Wang Yong scratched his head, having no idea what to do.

"Don't worry, there are only a few people like this in Lin'an, so you won't run into them often." Dong Xiaohuan comforted.

"Yeah." Wang Yong nodded and looked at Xia Chu. "How come this kid, so young, knows everything?"

Dong Xiaohuan was also puzzled, but she didn't think too much about it. Her family didn't have much to gain. After the child came, things had gotten better and better. Now that they had a child, why should they dwell on it so much? She joked, "Maybe Guanyin Bodhisattva saw how much I wanted a child and sent the maidens around to help me."

Wang Yong shook his head and laughed, not delving into the issue any further. After all, he was just a five-year-old child.

As soon as Zhou Qin arrived in the morning, Xia Tian asked her to go grocery shopping. She bought some extra chickens today, and Xia Tian followed Aunt Zhou to learn how to butcher a chicken. After a short while, she let Aunt Zhou chop the meat.

Xia Chu helped to boil water and pluck chicken feathers, and the busy morning passed quickly.

On his way to set up his stall that afternoon, Xia Tian paused as he walked through the same alleyway he had walked through yesterday. He looked at the spot where the oil had been spilled. It had been cleaned up, but a large oil stain still remained.

They had just finished setting up the place when business started pouring in. Xia Tian was busy tending the stove. Although it was already autumn, he soon broke out in a sweat, which dripped down his cheeks onto his front, soaking a large area.

Xia Chu felt a little distressed. What snacks could he sell?

Bobo Chicken, a string of Bobo Chicken for one yuan~ Xia Chu smiled. This brainwashing song once became a children's song, and people would sing it whenever they were bored and had nothing to do.

But there were no peppers at the time, so the dogwood was a little off. And if I sold this, I'd lose the children as customers, as kids can't handle spicy food.

What about cold pot skewers? Make two flavors, whichever you prefer. Plus, you can make them completely at home and take them out, and best of all, you don't have to watch over the stove. But with autumn here and the cold weather expected to arrive soon, making this a bit of a no-brainer. Alternatively, make skewers, pick your own ingredients, and charge by the skewers. Or make braised skewers, braise everything together, and then set them out for others to choose from.

"Xiao Huan." Wang Yong took the opportunity to go out on business and brought his brothers over.

"Why are you here?" Dong Xiaohuan stood up in surprise. "Are you hungry? Have you had lunch?"

"Hello, sister-in-law." Several yamen runners behind her greeted her.

"You've worked hard. Take a look at what you want to eat and pick whatever you want." Dong Xiaohuan said with a smile.

Wang Yong was just here for a quick look; he couldn't stay too long. This time, his main purpose was to warn those with ulterior motives. After a few words, he and his brothers each ate a string of fresh sausages and left.

"Mrs. Dong, that's your man?" Mrs. Hu came over when she saw that everyone had left.

"Yes." Dong Xiaohuan knew what Wang Yong meant, so she just nodded and didn't want to talk more, for fear of saying something wrong and affecting Wang Yong.

After closing the stall and returning home, Xia Chu helped Dong Xiaohuan count the money while sharing her new idea. "Mom, why don't we sell something else? This oil pan looks dangerous to me, and it's hot. My brother's clothes get soaked every day."

Dong Xiaohuan was reluctant. After all, the business seemed to be gradually stabilizing. What if the business was not doing well when she suddenly changed it? But she did not refuse directly. Instead, she asked, "What good ideas do you have?"

"The chicken we braised is actually quite delicious even without frying. Let's buy some other things to braise, like the kelp, tofu, white radish, and peanuts we sold before. These are vegetarian dishes. As for meat dishes, anything can be braised. The butcher's large and small intestines, pig liver and heart, pig's trotters, chicken feet, chicken wings, and chicken legs are all delicious." Xia Chu counted on his fingers, and he felt a little greedy as he spoke.

Dong Xiaohuan frowned upon hearing this and said tactfully, "I'm afraid no one would eat these leftovers. Only those whose families are really poor would buy them to get a taste of meat."

Xia Tian listened to this and suggested, "Why don't you try making some first? If it doesn't work, you can continue selling fresh sausages. I'm not that hot, I just sweat a lot. Besides, autumn is here, so it won't be hot anymore."

"That's fine. Let's prepare some and try it out first. We'll see if it works or not." Dong Xiaohuan agreed.

"Okay." Xia Chu clapped his hands, "Then don't forget to buy some offal tomorrow, big brother."

"Yeah." Xia Tian nodded. Seeing that everything was fine here, he went to wash the stall cart. After washing, he took a good shower. He felt like he was about to go bad.

Dong Xiaohuan had reserved a bowl of meat filling for the dumplings for dinner. She kneaded the dough and rolled out the dough, but the three children, working together, couldn't match Dong Xiaohuan's speed alone.

"Oh, hurry up, big brother, we're going to lose! The dough is piling up!" Guan Xu didn't know where his competitive spirit came from, and he got anxious when he saw the dough piling up. But making dumplings is a job you can't rush, especially for a novice.

Seeing that he was making a mess of the dumplings and only cared about speed, Xia Chu couldn't help but remind him, "Xiao Xu, wrap them properly. The dumplings you've made will become noodle and meatball soup in a moment."

Dong Xiaohuan took a quick look and saw that it was indeed not in good shape. "Wrap it properly. I'll go slowly."

Zhang Zhou was so anxious watching from the side that he wanted to snatch the dumplings from Guan Xu's hand and make them himself. "You have to pinch the edges tightly, otherwise they will fall apart when you cook them."

"I know, I know." Seeing that everyone was talking about him, Guan Xu puffed out his lips and slowed down his hands.

I tried to save it in the early summer, but the skin still fell apart after cooking.

Wang Yong picked up a piece of skin and ate it. "Today's noodles are made a lot? So many skins?"

Dong Xiaohuan couldn't help but laugh, and Xia Chu laughed without restraint. Only Guan Xu blushed with embarrassment, buried his head in his food, and didn't want to pay attention to anyone.

"What are you laughing at? There are meatballs?" Wang Yong reacted and understood what everyone was saying. He looked at Guan Xu and teased, "Which little idiot made dumplings with the filling exposed?"

"I, I don't know how much it missed." Guan Xu was so nervous that he started to talk nonsense.

The others laughed even harder. Guan Xu pouted and said angrily, "Stop laughing! I won't let you know next time."
