Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

Originally, Chen Lang planned to go to Tianshangju, but then he thought, he had just sold goods to them two hours ago, and now he turned around and went there to eat, isn't this just eating himself? The key is that the processing fee is not cheap.

I don’t care, but I’m afraid that Li Xiuzhi won’t enjoy her meal.

So Chen Lang gave up this idea and went to another better restaurant in the county.

The waiter was very enthusiastic. He started by praising Li Xiuzhi, saying that she was pretty. He then praised Guoguo for being cute. Finally, he said that Chen Lang was really blessed to have such a beautiful wife and such a cute daughter.

As expected of someone working in the service industry, her mouth is as sweet as if it were stuffed with several kilograms of honey.

But Chen Lang felt very comfortable hearing these words, and he was so happy that he gave the other party a tip of five cents.

Li Xiuzhi subconsciously wanted to complain to Chen Lang that he was wasting money, but she immediately held herself back.

When a woman is outside, she has to save face for men.

"What would you like, sir? We have freshly slaughtered lamb today. Would you like to try one?" The waiter began to recommend the signature dishes.

Chen Lang glanced at Li Xiuzhi and found that she slowly shook her head, and he knew that she was starting to feel stingy about money again.

"Give me a grilled lamb chop, a steamed fish, some stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and three bowls of rice." Chen Lang had no intention of saving the money. Since he was going to eat, he had to eat well.

"Would you like some wine, sir?" the waiter asked again.

Chen Lang said: "I have something to do in the afternoon, so I won't drink. Come on, I'm hungry."

"Okay, wait a moment, sir. I'll be right there." The waiter turned and called towards the kitchen, "Table number three, Jiazi. Here's a serving of lamb chops, steamed fish, and seasonal vegetables!"

The restaurant is quite efficient and the food is ready in half an incense stick of time.

In Chen Lang's opinion, the presentation of all three dishes was quite average. The lamb chops were clearly undercooked, completely burnt on the outside, and the inside wasn't much better. The fish was also overcooked and lacked seasoning, making it look pale. The seasonal vegetables were even worse; they didn't look cooked through at all. He wondered if he'd get food poisoning from eating them.

But for Li Xiuzhi and Guoguo, these three dishes can be regarded as delicacies of the world, which they would never have dared to eat in their dreams before.

This resulted in both of them being hesitant to pick up their chopsticks.

Seeing this, Chen Lang separated the lamb chops with chopsticks, put a rib in each person's bowl, and said, "Eat."

Guoguo picked up the lamb chop, looked left and right, then took a bite, his eyes narrowed into slits in an instant: "Daddy, it's delicious!"

Chen Lang laughed and said, "It's the lamb chops that are delicious, not Daddy's. Because Daddy can't eat it."

After a while of silly laughter, Guoguo lowered his head and began to "fight" with Yangpai.

Li Xiuzhi was more delicate in her eating. Guoguo had finished two ribs, but she hadn't even finished one.

After finally finishing the meal, I looked up and found that Chen Lang had only eaten white rice, and had not touched the lamb chops and steamed fish.

Li Xiuzhi was a little embarrassed to pick up food for Chen Lang, so she touched Guoguo and then stuck out her lips at Chen Lang.

The tacit understanding between mother and daughter reached its peak at this moment. Guoguo grabbed the last lamb chop on the plate and put it into Chen Lang's bowl, saying, "Daddy, eat."

Chen Lang rubbed Guoguo's head and put the lamb chops into her bowl: "Eat it, my dear girl. Daddy doesn't like lamb chops."

Guoguo's eyes widened: "But the lamb chops are delicious, why doesn't Dad like them?"

Chen Lang said, "Daddy has bad teeth, and if Guoguo eats it, it's the same as Daddy eating it."

Then he picked up another piece of vegetables with chopsticks and put it into Guoguo's bowl: "Hey, don't just eat meat, eat vegetables too, so that the nutrition will be balanced and you can grow taller."

Guoguo nodded obediently and ate all the vegetables in one bite.

Chen Lang gave a thumbs up: "You are really daddy's good girl."

Seeing that Chen Lang didn't even eat the lamb chops his daughter had picked up, Li Xiuzhi knew she had to intervene. So she picked up the fattest and tenderest piece of meat from the belly of the steamed fish and put it into Chen Lang's bowl: "Erlang, you eat too."

Chen Lang's heart suddenly felt as sweet as if he had drunk honey.

Eat the fish with rice.

The meal ended up costing three taels of silver, which made Li Xiuzhi very distressed.

"Erlang, let's not come to this kind of place to eat in the future. It's not worth it." Li Xiuzhi said in a low voice after walking out of the restaurant.

Chen Lang said: "I really won't come here again. It's not because it's expensive, but because the chef's skills are too poor."

"When we split up the family business in the future, I'll cook it for you and your mother myself. I guarantee it'll be a thousand times more delicious than what they cook here."

Guoguo immediately said, "Daddy, I want to eat pig's trotters!"

Chen Lang smiled and said, "No problem. After the separation, Daddy will make it for my good daughter every day."

Guoguo shook her head: "No, Daddy works hard to earn money, half a month... No, no, no, I'll be happy if I can eat once a month."

Chen Lang held Guoguo in his arms and kissed her affectionately, "You are really daddy's sweetheart."

Li Xiuzhi watched the father and daughter playing and laughing with a happy face.

"Okay, it's almost time to go home."

"Guoguo, don't let daddy hold you. Get down and walk by yourself. You need to walk around after eating to help digest the food."

Guoguo let out an "oh" and jumped to the ground.

Chen Lang said: "Don't worry, there is one last thing to do."

Li Xiuzhi asked, "What?"

Chen Lang said: "Just follow me."

As he spoke, Chen Lang led the mother and daughter to Pingzhilin.

Li Xiuzhi asked doubtfully, "Erlang, you're not feeling well. Do you want to see a doctor?"

Chen Lang shook his head: "It's not me, it's you and Guoguo."

Li Xiuzhi was increasingly puzzled: "Guoguo and I are both fine, why do we need to see a doctor?"

Chen Lang said: "Chunhua reminded me of this this morning."

"She said that if you keep everything bottled up inside, you'll develop a problem if you do that for a long time."

"I thought to myself, that's exactly what happened. In the past, not only did you have to endure the anger of your parents at home, but you also had to endure my anger. Not only did you not have enough to eat or wear warm clothes, but I even beat you every now and then. Over time, you must have had all kinds of health problems, but they weren't visible on the surface."

"It's the same with Guoguo. She's in the growth phase, but she hasn't had enough food for a long time. I'm afraid she might have a hidden illness."

"Even if you don't have these problems, having a physical checkup every year to confirm that there's nothing wrong with your body gives you peace of mind."

Li Xiuzhi said, "Erlang, I'm fine. Guoguo might have been fine before...but now he's alive and kicking."

"Seeing a doctor is expensive. Wouldn't it be better to save the money and buy some meat?"

Chen Lang said, "Xiuzhi, I can agree to anything else, but you must listen to me on this matter."

"Let's go, the doctor from Pingzhilin has a good relationship with me and won't charge a high price."

After saying that, he held Guoguo and took Li Xiuzhi's hand and walked into Pingzhilin.

Xu Fei was studying medicinal herbs. When he saw Chen Lang out of the corner of his eye, he immediately walked out from behind the medicine cabinet and said, "Brother Chen, are you here to ask about the medicine? I'm really sorry, but I haven't figured out the formula yet. You may have to wait a while."
