Mo Yuyan stood in the distance holding a booklet recording the dishes served. He kept staring at Zhao Huaixin with a very complicated expression.

Seeing that he was still looking, Liu Xiaojing asked, "Xiao Yan, what are you looking at?"

Mo Yuyan took her aside and said, "I'm looking at Commander Zhao. To be honest, he looks a bit like my father."

Liu Xiaojing knew Mo Yuyan's background. It was said that his family used to be very rich and his father was an official. Then he committed a crime and was killed. He and his father and sister were exiled to the south. His father took them to escape, but they got separated.

"Then go over and see if he's your father." Liu Xiaojing's idea was very simple, "If he is your father, you won't have to work anymore."

Mo Yuyan shook his head and smiled, "No, my father is not as young as him, and my father loves to laugh. Commander Zhao doesn't like to laugh and looks very fierce."

"Maybe he's a relative of your father's." Liu Xiaojing continued, "You can go and recognize him as a relative, and we can live a good life in the future."

"No." Mo Yuyan knew that was not his father. How could he not recognize his own father? Moreover, his father never said that he had relatives, but only said that his family members died many years ago.

"Oh, okay." Liu Xiaojing stopped trying to persuade him. "We are your family. If you like Big Brother, I can help you find a matchmaker."

Mo Yuyan was frightened all of a sudden. His face flushed as he said, "You, don't talk nonsense. I don't, I don't like big brother."

Liu Xiaojing chuckled, "I saw you giving money to Big Brother that morning, and Xiao An saw it too. He even said he wanted to make more money to help Big Brother get married. Let me ask you in secret, how much do you plan to ask for as a betrothal gift? Big Brother can't afford any more."

"No." Mo Yuyan was embarrassed and annoyed, and ran away with the record book in her hand.

When he left, Zhao Huaixin suddenly looked over here. There was someone here who was staring at him. He wanted to see what this person wanted to do, but this person seemed to have left.

Liu Xiaojing saw Zhao Huaixin looking at him and thought he was looking at him, so he quickly waved his hand.

Zhao Huaixin reciprocated the gesture and nodded slightly at her.

In the kitchen, Ye Xunqing was chopping the fish with great energy. That was a large ingot of silver. Anyone would be tempted by the money!

Ye Xunqing was making fish balls while laughing. He seemed to have seen himself spending money like water on the streets of Yuanzhou City.

Seeing his silly smile, Feng Jingheng said, "Ah Qing, stop laughing. Your knife is tilted."

Ye Xunqing moved the knife back and said to Feng Jingheng, "Ah Heng, this is the first time I've seen such a large ingot of silver. Mr. Zheng gave me rewards before, but they were all small amounts of one or two taels. This one given by Commander Zhao is at least five taels."

"Indeed." Feng Jingheng said, "I've never seen so much silver in my life."

Ye Xunqing was still satisfied at the moment, but money was like Han Xin selecting his troops, the more the better. When he first arrived here, he was thinking about how to survive, and for this reason he even set up a trap to trick Feng Jingheng.

But as time went by and he had enough food to eat, Ye Xunqing wanted more. He wanted to make money to live in a big house, travel around the country with Feng Jingheng, give Xiaobai a good learning environment, and help Xiaoyan find his father. These were all what Ye Xunqing wanted.

"Keep it well, we will have a lot of money in the future." Ye Xunqing couldn't close his mouth.

Oh, if they had more money like this, they would have given it away.

After making the fish balls, Ye Xunqing found a large jar to fill with broth for Zhao Huaixin. It was done in one go, and Commander Zhao would surely be happy.

Zhao Huaixin was very satisfied and said several times that he remembered them.

Ye Xunqing found this quite strange. If it weren't for Zhao Huaixin's righteous look, he would have suspected that Zhao Huaixin was going to put them in a sack in the middle of the night.

Pingzhou is still some distance away from Yuanzhou. After Zhao Huaixin and his friends finished their meal and rested for a while, they rode back on horseback.

Xie Zhiyan was also taken away by him. When he left, he kept holding Ye Xunbai's hand and said that he would marry Ye Xunbai when he grew up.

Ye Xunbai didn't understand all this and just said that the two brothers couldn't be together, which made Xie Zhiyan cry with tears and snot.

Ye Xunqing was very disgusted. He thought that such an unhygienic person was not worthy of being with his Xiaobai.

Ye Xunbai was also raised by his brother to be a bit of a germaphobe. He couldn't bear to see Xie Zhiyan's face full of tears and snot, so he wiped it clean with a handkerchief. After wiping, he didn't want the handkerchief anymore and left it for Xie Zhiyan to wipe on the way.

Zhao Huaixin wrapped Xie Zhiyan in his clothes and shouted, "Go back home!"

With a flick of the whip, the horse spread its hooves and ran, and in the blink of an eye it ran far away.

Ye Xunqing picked up Ye Xunbai and kissed him on the cheek, "My little Bai is still clean, white, tender and fragrant. Mumu, brother kiss."

Ye Xunbai giggled, "Brother, it's itchy."

After seeing Zhao Huaixin off, Mr. Zheng felt relieved. He said to Ye Xunqing, "Young Boss Ye, thank you so much for this time."

Ye Xunqing put Ye Xunbai down and said to Mr. Zheng, "You are too polite, sir. I just cooked a few tables of food."

Zheng Wei stepped forward and said, "If it weren't for the delicious food of the young boss, Commander Zhao wouldn't have sat down to eat so much, let alone have the patience to listen to us."

Ye Xunqing still remembered Zheng Wei's purpose, so he said: "Lord Liu is a good official, so Commander Zhao remembered him. It's not my fault."

Zheng Wei didn't say anything else, but if Ye Xunqing's food hadn't made Zhao Huaixin happy, Zhao Huaixin would never have sat down and listened to her, a woman's nagging, for so long. He was not the type of person who liked to listen to people nagging.

Ye Xunqing smiled slightly and said nothing more.

The meal was over, and Ye Xunqing and the others didn’t have to wash the dishes, so it was time to sit down and settle the bill.

Old Master Zheng was very generous. He didn't charge for the dishes, just the cooking fee, which was one tael of silver per table. There were exactly forty tables today, so that was forty taels of silver. In addition, Ye Xunqing made Old Master Zheng proud today, so the old man gave him an extra five taels of silver.

Five taels of silver was what an ordinary family earned in a year.

Zheng Wei also gave a reward. Although it was not as much as what Grandpa Zheng gave, it was still a lot for Ye Xunqing.

Carrying the heavy silver on your back is not a big deal, and there is no bank here to deposit money, not even a money house, so you have to carry the money yourself.

Ye Xunqing still thinks that modern electronic payment is more convenient, at least he doesn’t have to carry so much money.

After hiding the money, Ye Xunqing took his younger brothers and sisters out. Because of Mr. Zheng's birthday these days, Yuanzhou City was quite lively. There were guests who came to celebrate the birthday, vendors who came to take the opportunity to make money, and people from the martial arts world who came here to perform.

"Look, look, look! He's like he can break rocks with his chest, swallow swords with his mouth, and hold plates with his chopsticks." A shirtless man was beating a gong. "Those with money can show their support with their money, and those with connections can show their support with their presence!"

It was the first time Ye Xunqing had seen a juggler, so he said, "Ah Heng, let's stay and watch for a while."

Feng Jingheng had seen acrobatics before, and he didn't like watching them, but Ye Xunqing liked them, so he might as well stay and watch them.
