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

After seeing Li Xiaoxiao leave, Shopkeeper Zhao turned around and went up to the third floor and stopped in front of a VIP box. He knocked on the door gently and waited for a while. Then a voice of "Come in" came from inside. Shopkeeper Zhao pushed open the door, walked into the box, and stood aside respectfully.

A young man, dressed in elegant attire, sat at the table. He wore an elegant moon-white robe, his long hair tied back with a simple jade hairpin, a few strands carelessly cascading across his forehead, lending him a touch of uninhibited freedom. His features were truly captivating—sharp brows, starry eyes, a straight nose, and thin lips slightly pursed, exuding an air of unspoken authority. Most unforgettable were his eyes, deep and luminous, as if they could penetrate the human heart, or perhaps contain the vast ocean of stars, a gaze that could easily captivate one. He gazed at the teacup in his hand, slowly sipping it.

The young man put down his teacup, looked up at Shopkeeper Zhao, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Shopkeeper Zhao quickly replied, "Sir, the restaurant just received some game this afternoon. How about asking the kitchen to cook it for you to try tonight?"

The young man nodded slightly, "Well, let's make a few signature dishes." Shopkeeper Zhao replied and left. After Shopkeeper Zhao left, the young man smiled slightly and said to himself, "That little girl downstairs just now, she's quite interesting."

It turned out that he was the owner of this restaurant, Yun Che, the eldest son of the Yun family in Beijing. The Yun family was a prominent family in Beijing, and Yun Che's sister, Yun Wan'er, was the current emperor's favorite concubine.

Yun Che appeared in this remote town because he didn't want to accept the blind date arranged by his family. He had never been fond of the beautiful women in the capital, so he secretly slipped away with his entourage.

At this time, he didn't know that he would find his own marriage here.

After Li Xiaoxiao left Xiangmanlou, she did not take Li Shen to heart. Instead, she planned to take a good stroll around the town and buy some cloth to make clothes for Li Fang and Li Linlin. The clothes they were wearing now were brought from the old house and were full of patches.

Li Xiaoxiao walked and looked at several shops. Suddenly, a not very big cloth shop appeared in front of her and she walked in.

Li Xiaoxiao couldn't help but look around the store. Although it wasn't big, it had a wide range of items, all neatly arranged. It was obvious that the owner was a clean person. Looking at the fabrics in the store, they were also colorful and dazzling. Li Xiaoxiao carefully selected them.

At this time, a middle-aged woman dressed simply came over. Although Li Xiaoxiao's clothes were a little worn, the middle-aged woman did not look down on her. Instead, she smiled and asked, "Miss, do you want to buy some cloth?"

Li Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "I want to buy some fabric to make clothes for my younger brother and sister."

The woman pointed enthusiastically at the fabrics on the shelves and said, "The fabrics in our store are all the latest styles and the colors are very bright. You can take a look and see if there is anything you like."

Li Xiaoxiao looked around and finally chose two pieces of cheesecloth, one blue and one pink. "How much are these two pieces of cloth?"

"This blue cloth is cheaper, it costs one hundred and fifty coins, and the pink one costs one hundred and eighty coins," said the woman.

Li Xiaoxiao was shocked. So expensive? She only had the money she had from selling rabbits. She smiled awkwardly, "Sister, can you give me a discount?"

When the woman heard Li Xiaoxiao, a little girl, actually call her "sister," she touched her face happily. It seemed that she was not very old after all. She immediately had a better impression of Li Xiaoxiao. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "Since you really want to buy it, I will sell it to you for 300 coins."

Suddenly, Li Xiaoxiao saw a small bag of rags piled up in the corner of the counter and asked, "Sister, can you give me these rags as well?"

Seeing Li Xiaoxiao's hopeful eyes, the shopkeeper thought for a moment and decided that since there was no point in keeping these strips of cloth, he might as well give them to her. "Okay, I'll give them to you all. It'll be worthy of you calling me sister," the shopkeeper agreed readily.

Li Xiaoxiao gratefully paid the money and left the shop with the cloth. Afterwards, she went to the butcher's shop and spent thirty cents to buy a pound of lean and fat pork belly and three large ribs, then went home happily.

After returning home, Li Xiaoxiao gave the two pieces of cloth to Mrs. Bai, asking her to make a set of clothes for Li Fang and Li Linlin when she was free. She also gave the remaining three hundred coins to Mrs. Bai. Mrs. Bai asked why she only bought cloth for her brothers and sisters and not for herself. Li Xiaoxiao just smiled and said that she still had clothes to wear.

Bai looked at Li Xiaoxiao's clothes, which were not much better than those of Li Fang and the others, and said that after she finished making the two younger ones, she would make a set for Li Xiaoxiao with the remaining fabric. Li Xiaoxiao did not take it seriously.

Li Fang and Li Linlin were very happy when they heard that they would have new clothes to wear soon.

Looking at the two happy children, Mrs. Bai felt happy but also a little sad. It had been a long time since the two children had worn new clothes.

"Mom, here are some scraps of cloth. Do you think we can use them to make soles or something?" Li Xiaoxiao's words interrupted Bai's thoughts.

She took the strip of cloth with great joy, "It can be used to make a few pairs of insoles for you guys."

Li Xiaoxiao helped Bai cut the cloth, and then went to the kitchen to light the fire and cook.

In the evening, the family had dinner happily.

After dinner, Bai started doing needlework under the oil lamp, and Li Xiaoxiao helped her.

As night fell, the restaurant became bustling with activity. Yun Che sat in a private room on the third floor, waiting for his food to be served.

Soon, a series of delicious dishes were served. Among them were braised pork with bamboo shoots and dry pot rabbit. Yun Che picked up a piece of rabbit meat and put it in his mouth, savoring it carefully. The taste was indeed good, the meat was tender and fresh, spicy and fragrant, leaving a lasting aftertaste. Dried bamboo shoots naturally absorb oil, and after being braised with the pork, not only did they absorb the greasiness of the pork, but the dried bamboo shoots also became fresh, fragrant and juicy. Yun Che picked up a piece of dried bamboo shoots and put it in his mouth, chewing it carefully. Although the dried bamboo shoots were not as delicious as fresh bamboo shoots, they also had a unique flavor.

"Mm, not bad. Both dishes taste great. I like them very much." After saying this, Yun Che couldn't help but pick up a piece of rabbit meat and put it into his mouth to savor it carefully.

Upon receiving Yun Che's approval, Shopkeeper Zhao, who was waiting nearby, showed a satisfied smile on his face. He quickly bowed and replied, "As long as Master is satisfied, I'll go tell the kitchen to keep an eye out for more game like this, in case Master needs it."

Yun Che nodded gently, but his eyes involuntarily drifted towards the window, as if he was savoring the delicious food he had just tasted, and seemed to be thinking about something.
