After the separation, I took my whole family to eat delicious food and drink spicy

After the food was served, they washed their hands and started eating. Li Fang first picked up a piece of rabbit meat and put it in his mouth and started eating, saying that it was hot.

Li Xiaoxiao asked him to eat slowly, but Li Fang said, "Sister, this rabbit meat is really delicious. I have never eaten such delicious meat." Li Fang said exaggeratedly.

Li Xiaoxiao listened to Li Fang's words and took a piece of rabbit meat to taste. It tasted okay, but probably because of the lack of seasoning, it felt a little worse than the dry-fried rabbit meat she had eaten in modern times. It would probably taste better with some chili peppers and soy sauce, but in the ancient times when seasoning was scarce, this would be fine.

Thinking of this, Li Xiaoxiao picked up another piece of vegetables with chopsticks and put them in her mouth. The vegetables in ancient times were still delicious. There was no pollution at all, and the taste of the pure natural vegetables was different. There was also a faint sweetness in the taste.

Because the lunch dishes were delicious, Li Xiaoxiao ate a big bowl of rice, and Li Fang and Li Linlin also ate a lot. In Li Xiaoxiao's words, being able to eat is a blessing.

After lunch, Li Xiaoxiao went out with two big rabbits on her back. Mrs. Bai told her to be careful and not to walk too fast, and also gave her some copper coins as a backup.

It took Li Xiaoxiao less than an hour to reach the door of Xiangmanlou. Since she had delivered dried bamboo shoots there before, most of the shop assistants had seen Li Xiaoxiao. Seeing her standing at the door, the waiter who had weighed the bamboo shoots for her before came out and asked with a smile, "Miss, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Brother Xiaoer, I want to ask if you accept game here? I caught two rabbits in the mountains this morning, so I wanted to bring them to you and ask if you want them." Li Xiaoxiao said politely.

At this time, a young man dressed as a waiter came out from the kitchen. He found the person standing at the door familiar. He walked closer and found that it was his cousin Li Xiaoxiao. The last time he went home, he heard his mother complaining about how bad Li Xiaoxiao's family was. So he interrupted the waiter next to him and said, "Li Xiaoxiao, why are you here? What are you doing here? Don't you see where this place is? People like you are not allowed to come here. Get out of here." After that, he pushed Li Xiaoxiao.

Li Xiaoxiao was a little confused at first. Who was this person? He was so wicked that he didn't even talk to her properly and started a fight. After seeing the person clearly, she realized that it was Li Shen, the son of Li Fangshi, the eldest wife. It was true that like mother, like son. The son raised by someone like Li Fangshi was not much better.

It was the waiter next to them who saw Li Xiaoxiao almost lost her balance after being pushed by Li Shen, so he reached out to help her, otherwise she would have fallen flat on her face.

After Li Xiaoxiao stood firm, he cast a grateful look at the waiter, and then said to Li Shen: "Who am I! It turns out to be my cousin. It's been a long time since we last met. I didn't expect you to be working here. I came here to ask if Xiangmanlou purchases game. I happened to hunt two rabbits this morning, and I thought it might be able to supplement the family income." Li Xiaoxiao's tone was gentle but firm, and he looked at Li Shen with clear eyes, without the slightest fear.

Li Shen's face darkened upon seeing this. He had obviously not expected Li Xiaoxiao to respond so calmly. He had originally intended to use his position as a waiter at Xiangmanlou to intimidate Li Xiaoxiao, but he hadn't expected to be intimidated by her composure.

"Hmph, what kind of place is Xiangmanlou? Why would they accept these country things from you? Stop embarrassing yourself here and leave now!" Li Shen said with pretended disdain, trying to continue humiliating Li Xiaoxiao with words.

However, Li Xiaoxiao did not get angry. He just smiled slightly and turned to the waiter next to him who had always maintained a polite smile. He asked again: "Brother Xiaoer, could you please ask Shopkeeper Zhao if he wants to buy these two rabbits?"

The waiter looked at Li Shen, then at Li Xiaoxiao, and a calculation was already in his mind. He understood that although Li Shen was a waiter here, Xiangmanlou valued business and reputation, and would not miss out on good goods due to personal grudges. So, he politely said to Li Xiaoxiao, "Please wait a moment, young lady. I will go and ask the shopkeeper to come out."

After saying that, the waiter turned and went into the store, leaving Li Shen and Li Xiaoxiao glaring at each other at the door. Li Shen was even more dissatisfied when he saw this, but because of the presence of others, he could not get angry. He could only glare at Li Xiaoxiao and retreat to the side in dismay.

After a while, the waiter came out with a middle-aged man. He was well-dressed and had a kind face. It was Zhao, the shopkeeper of Xiangmanlou. "So it's Miss Li. I was planning to go to Lijia Village to look for you tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to come here today."

Li Xiaoxiao was very surprised when she heard what Shopkeeper Zhao said. "Hello, Shopkeeper Zhao, I wonder what you want to talk to me about?"

"Look, the dried bamboo shoots I bought from you last time were delicious to my customers. We're almost done with the 80 kilograms we bought, so I wanted to ask if you have any left. If you do, we'll take them all."

Li Xiaoxiao was overjoyed to hear that business was coming her way. Li Shen, who was standing by, listened to their conversation with a venomous look in his eyes, wishing he could stare a hole through Li Xiaoxiao. Hearing that Shopkeeper Zhao wanted to do business with Li Xiaoxiao, he became even more jealous. How could a fool win Shopkeeper Zhao's favor?

"Shopkeeper Zhao, I do have some dried bamboo shoots in stock at home, but not much, only about 150 kilograms. My aunt should have some at home too. I can ask her for you. If you need them, how about we send them over tomorrow?"

"That's great. I wonder what Miss Li wants to see me about today?" asked Manager Zhao.

"This is what I meant. I went into the mountains this morning and caught two rabbits. I wanted to ask if you would like to take them?" He took down the bamboo basket and showed it to Shopkeeper Zhao.

"Yes, this rabbit looks quite big. We usually sell new wild rabbits for 40 cents per pound. If Miss Li wants to sell it, I will ask someone to weigh it." said the shopkeeper Zhao.

"No problem, thank you very much, Manager Zhao." Li Xiaoxiao clasped his fists towards Manager Zhao.

Shopkeeper Zhao glanced at the waiter next to him. The waiter hurriedly took the rabbits and went to weigh them. After a while, he came out and told Shopkeeper Zhao that the two rabbits weighed a total of 16 kilograms. After hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhao went directly to the counter and took out coins and gave them to Li Xiaoxiao. Li Xiaoxiao took the money, put it in her bag, said something to Shopkeeper Zhao, and left. Li Shen was left there, furious. Finally, seeing that no one paid any attention to him, he went to help in the kitchen.
