A large watermelon was easily eaten by a group of boys. Xie Wanxing ate the watermelon and secretly compared it with the watermelon in her heart. The watermelons in the space were indeed much sweeter than those sold outside. The watermelons her father bought today should have been grown in the farms of those powerful families. She couldn't help but feel curious about the quality of this tribute.

In the evening, Xie Songlin finished a busy day and returned home. As soon as he entered the door, he was pestered by Xie Lin and Xie Heng like two little monkeys.

Xie Lin looked at his father expectantly and asked anxiously, "Dad, does the watermelon we're eating today really cost several hundred taels of silver?"

"Nonsense, it's not that expensive." Xie Songlin actually had no idea. It seemed like he had picked up too big a bargain. Although he had tried his best to pick small watermelons in the space, the smaller ones were the ones with yellow flesh. It was better not to take out watermelons of this color for the time being.

Xie Heng also echoed from the side, with a hint of worry in his eyes: "Yeah, Dad, if I want to eat in the future, will it be difficult?"

Xie Songlin couldn't help laughing when he saw his two sons looking so cute and anxious. He reached out and touched their heads, saying gently, "Don't worry. It will be cheaper in the future so you can eat it every day."

Xie Heng was surprised: "Really? Dad!"

"Of course, how could Dad lie to you? There will be plenty of delicious food in the future." Xie Songlin quickly coaxed his two younger sons.

Xie Wanxing finished writing today's calligraphy in her room and took it to her teacher for inspection. By the way, she also wanted to ask about the teacher's birthday party.

Xie Wanxing neatly stacked the large characters he had written on the table and asked, "Teacher, your birthday is coming soon, and we need to prepare the guest list. Do you have any friends you'd like to invite?"

Mr. Yu shook his head slightly and said, "I already live in your house, how can I invite someone over?"

"Teacher, please don't say that!" Xie Wanxing eagerly took over the conversation, immediately stepped forward and hugged Mr. Yu's arm tightly, shaking it gently. "Once a teacher, always a father. You will always be Ah Xing's elder, and this is naturally your home! Since you don't like extravagance, we won't do those lavish ceremonies, but holding a small banquet for you is a token of our gratitude as juniors, and we should invite some of your friends to gather together. Moreover, this time we have prepared many new dishes that you have never tasted before. My mother is also planning to open a restaurant. Teacher, your friends must be tasteful and knowledgeable, so you can just treat it as inviting them to help taste the food."

Mr. Yu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a gentle smile. He looked at Xie Wanxing with eyes full of doting. He reached out and gently touched her head, saying, "You little girl, you will be seven years old next year. You can't act like a spoiled child like this anymore."

"Okay, then I'll write a list for you and ask Xiao Si to deliver it for me."

"Okay, teacher!" Xie Wanxing nodded vigorously. Then, she turned her eyes and began to praise her master, "Teacher...my master also asked me..."

"Your master? Humph, he's coming too?" Mr. Yu raised his eyebrows, obviously quite surprised.

"Master wants to come." Xie Wanxing blinked and said sincerely, "Master asked me about it today..."

Xie Wanxing's choreography master didn't say everything, so she just let her teacher use her imagination!

Mr. Yu was silent for a moment, snorted softly, and said, "Forget it, since he wants to come, let him come."

"Okay, Grandpa Zhao wrote to my master today, saying he'll come over if he's free in the near future. My father wanted to schedule it for your birthday, too. What do you think?"

"Okay, you guys make the arrangements. If he's in Kyoto, we'll naturally call him over."

Xie Wanxing got a guest list from his teacher, and after seeing Sun Wu and Sun Zhongzheng added to the last line, he left happily.

Xie Songlin was surprised when he got the guest list from Mr. Yu. He pointed to the last name and asked, "Axing, did you write this down?"

"No way! Dad! Don't accuse me, this is my teacher's handwriting!"

Xie Songlin's eyes widened in shock, his face filled with disbelief. He blurted out, "You two teachers, have you reconciled? Doctor Sun is actually on the guest list! I saw them almost got into a fight when they met before."

Xie Wanxing: "Boss Xie, you are so narrow-minded!"

Xie Songlin said, "Okay, okay, it's Dad who is narrow-minded. Then tell me why your two teachers suddenly reconciled."

Xie Wanxing narrowed his eyes and said, "I hinted to my teacher that my master really wants to come. I plan to tell my master tomorrow that my teacher really wants him to come."

Xie Songlin: “?”

Cheng Hui: “?”

Xie Songlin felt that his daughter was really brave to deceive both sides like this.

Xie Wanxing understood the meaning in her parents' eyes and waved her hands quickly: "Hey, hey, hey, I'm not lying to both sides. My two teachers are good friends. We just had a few quarrels in the early years. You can understand it as a cold war, but as long as you give them a chance, they will definitely be able to reconcile!"

Xie Wanxing blinked and said confidently, "Dad, don't worry. I know my two teachers. They still miss each other. This birthday party is a perfect opportunity. As long as they can sit down and have a good chat, all the previous conflicts will definitely be resolved. I'm doing this to create this opportunity for them."

Xie Songlin: "You are right, but I always feel that what you said is weird."

"I see the teacher's guest list isn't very long. They're probably all close friends. Let's hold the banquet in the private room in the backyard of the Frappuccino restaurant. I'll trouble you to come up with the menu!"

"I've roughly outlined the menu." Cheng Hui took out the paper she had prepared and unfolded it, placing it on the table. She lightly tapped the contents on it with her finger. "I asked your father to ask someone to buy some beef. Of course, we'll mainly use our own beef, which tastes better..."

When Xie Wanxing heard this, his eyes moved back and forth between Cheng Hui and Xie Songlin: "Beef? Beef? Isn't it illegal to eat beef here?"

"Ordinary oxen used for farming have been registered with the government, so they naturally cannot be killed. However, oxen that are about to die of old age or are unable to work can be killed and eaten, but you have to wait to buy them." Xie Songlin spread his hands again and said, "Of course, the homes of those high-ranking officials often have oxen that are about to die of old age."

Xie Wanxing said he had learned his lesson: "It's still possible to do this."

Cheng Hui listed a number of dishes with modern characteristics: "Then everyone's main course will be pan-fried steak with pasta. We plan to make the roast duck three ways into the restaurant's signature dish. This time, let your teacher and the others try it. We also have golden broth beef and garlic vermicelli shrimp..."

Cheng Hui listed a lot of them.
