After dying early, I traveled to ancient times and became a boy

It was early summer when Ye Xunqing came here, and it is still early summer now. He is going to live in a new place.

Although it’s not like he won’t come back forever, it will probably take a long time before he comes back again.

Ye Xilan excitedly followed Ye Xunqing and the others, but when she arrived at the village entrance, she saw her father and mother and suddenly felt reluctant to leave.

"Lan'er, when you go out, you must listen to your brother." Wang Qiumei said earnestly, "You must also listen to your master. It's not like home out there. No one will coax you. When you go out, be good."

Ye Xilan looked at her mother's face and burst into tears, "Mother, I will be obedient."

Wang Qiumei was almost fainting, as if her daughter would never come back after leaving.

Ye Hongsheng's eyes were also red, and he would secretly shed tears in the middle of the night when no one could see him.

"Lan'er, go ahead. As I said before, when you come back, father and mother will be waiting for you here." Ye Hongsheng spoke with a heavy nasal tone.

Ye Xilan hugged him and said, "Father, you and mother wait for me. I will definitely come back."

Ye Xunqing assured them, "We will take good care of Lan Jie'er and bring her back safely."

Feng Jingheng looked at the sun in the sky and said, "Aqing, it's time for us to set off."

Xie Hui left them a horse and a carriage to facilitate their trip to Pingzhou City.

Sitting in the carriage, Ye Xunqing felt a little sad. After all, he had lived here for a long time and had developed feelings for the villagers.

"Brother, sister-in-law, take good care of the family." Feng Jingheng instructed, "You know where the money is. If you need it urgently, just take it out and don't leave it for us."

Feng Jinghua nodded, "Well, be careful on the road, and come back to see us during the New Year."

Feng Jingheng smiled. "We won't wait until the New Year. If we don't have a good time there, we'll definitely come back to find you. If we do well there, we'll take you over."

Feng Jinghua waved his hand and said, "Let's forget about it. If you really want to, just take A Niang over."

Feng Jingheng drove away in a carriage.

By the time they arrived in Pingzhou City, summer had really arrived.

All the peach blossoms have fallen, and the delicate peaches are hanging on the treetops. But this time, Ye Xunqing doesn't dare to pick the peaches easily. First of all, the peaches are not ripe, and secondly, he doesn't know what will happen if he picks the peaches.

"Ah Heng, do you still remember?" Ye Xunqing looked at the unripe peaches on the tree and said, "I also picked a lot of peaches from you back then."

Feng Jingheng said: "Those peaches were planted just for you."

Ye Xunqing curled his lips and smiled, "Are you sure you planted it for me? Or..."

Feng Jingheng sighed and said helplessly: "A Qing..."

Ye Xunqing stopped talking, "Okay, okay, I was just joking. I know what you're thinking, and I love you too."

Ye Xilan couldn't stand hearing such words. She covered Ye Xunbai's ears and said, "Don't listen, don't listen. Children can't listen to these."

Ye Xunqing knocked her head and said, "You are really brave. You actually dared to follow us out. Aren't you afraid that we will sell you out?"

Ye Xilan said: "No way, Brother Xunqing is a good man."

Entering Pingzhou City, Ye Xilan was dazzled by the prosperity of the city. There were many vendors selling things, a wide range of goods, tall houses, and flat roads.

"Wow, what a beautiful house!" Ye Xilan stretched half of her body outside. "Brother Xunqing, look at what's on top of that house?"

Ye Xunqing took a quick look and replied, "It should be a spine-devouring beast."

"We don't have that where we are." Ye Xilan felt very curious.

Ye Xunqing laughed and said, "Our thatched house is so fragile, and the ridge-devouring beasts are so heavy. If we put two ridge-devouring beasts on it, it will collapse."

Ye Xilan liked this place very much. "Brother Xunqing, do you think it would be possible for me to bring my mother and father to live here in the future?"

"Then it depends on your ability." Ye Xunqing encouraged: "Follow your master and learn his skills. Maybe your master will help you achieve great success."

"Yeah." Ye Xilan was looking forward to the future.

Ye Xunqing and the others did not write a letter to Xie Hui, but it did not matter, as someone would deliver the letter in advance.

One of the two guards came back first and brought the news that Ye Xunqing and his party were about to arrive in Pingzhou City to the prince's mansion, so when Ye Xunqing and his party arrived, the prince and his family were waiting at the door.

When the people of Pingzhou City saw the prince and his family all at the door, they thought something big had happened. However, they didn't expect that in the end, they were greeted by only a small, broken carriage.

Those who were watching in secret didn't know what to think.

"Brother Ye, Brother Feng, you are finally here!" Xie Hui personally walked down the steps to greet them, without any regard for his status as a prince.

Ye Xunqing looked at the people around him and just wanted to find a piece of cloth to cover his head. Is there something wrong with this prince's brain? He came to the door to pick him up, isn't he putting himself in the position of a target?

If someone wants to make the prince unhappy and can't kill the prince, can they kill him?

"No, do you have any questions?" Ye Xunqing whispered, "Who asked you to pick us up?"

Xie Hui patted their shoulders and said, "It's okay, it's okay. We are brothers, there's no need to worry about those empty formalities. To others, I will just say that you are the adopted son of my father and my father."

"Haha." Ye Xunqing's old face was embarrassed. "Stop talking and go in first."

Xie Hui brought Ye Xunqing and Feng Jingheng in, while Ye Xunbai and Ye Xilan were greeted by Xie Zhiyu and his sister.

"Master!" Ye Xilan was extremely excited. She took three or two steps up the stairs without caring about her image at all.

Xie Zhiyu actually didn’t like people who yelled and screamed. She really wanted to kick this little disciple out, but she raised her foot and then retracted it.

"Yes." Xie Zhiyu held her posture, "Come in with me, and don't make any noise after you enter."

Ye Xilan obediently followed her master in with her hands clasped together.

Xie Zhiyan didn't hold back like his sister did. He generously took Ye Xunbai's hand and said, "Xiaobai, did you miss me?"

"Yeah." Ye Xunbai nodded repeatedly, "I miss Brother Zhizhi so much, and Xiaoxue misses Brother Zhizhi too."

The little tiger cried out at the right time.

Xie Zhiyan smiled at it and ignored it.

As soon as we entered the door, we started eating. Xie Hui had already prepared the welcoming banquet.

There are all kinds of fish, shrimp, meat, eggs, and very rare fruits.

"Xiao Xunqing, try the shrimps. They are salty but also slightly sweet," Xie Lingyin introduced.

After Ye Xunqing took a bite, he found that it was indeed the flavor he liked. Moreover, the shrimp was big and delicious, not the common kind of shrimp.

The shrimp shells had been peeled off, but it didn't matter, he could still taste that they were sea shrimp.

"These are shrimp from the sea," Xie Lingyin said. "After being brought ashore, they were kept in ice and seawater, and when they were brought here, they were still fresh."

Ye Xunqing thought this method was quite novel, because in his impression, people in ancient times rarely ate seafood, unless they lived by the sea.

"Don't worry, brother. I came up with this idea," Xie Hui said. "As long as there's a low temperature, sufficient oxygen, and a comfortable environment, shrimp can be transported here."

Ye Xunqing expressed his approval, "How should I put it, you are worthy of it."

"Not only seafood, but also small yellow croaker, hairtail and so on. If you want to eat something, just tell me and I will have someone transport it to you." Xie Hui said very generously.

Ye Xunqing didn't want to expose him, "Is it me who wants to eat it, or do you want to eat it?"

"What is yellow croaker?" Feng Jingheng, a poor child living in an inland area, had never seen the sea or eaten anything from the sea.

Ye Xunqing suddenly felt distressed, "Ah Heng, do you want to eat fried fish?"

Feng Jingheng said: "But there is no river here, so there is no way to catch fish."

Ye Xunqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, the fried fish I'm talking about is not the fried grass carp we usually eat, but the crispy small yellow croaker."

"Crispy small yellow croaker?" Feng Jingheng's name sounds delicious. "Is it delicious?"

Ye Xunqing raised his eyebrows and said, "You can ask the prince."

Xie Hui was anxious. "It's delicious, very delicious. You can't even imagine how delicious it is. Fried food is simply mankind's greatest invention. Fried small yellow croaker, fried mushrooms, fried shrimp, fried purple sweet potato and pumpkin meatballs, fried skewers... I can't take it anymore. I'm so greedy!"

Xie Lingyin saw her son's expression and laughed so hard that she couldn't stop. "Hui'er, what are you talking about? How come I've never heard of it before?"

Xie Hui restrained himself a little, "This is the delicacy my son thought of. I heard that my brother Xunqing can cook, so I wanted him to try it."

Ye Xunqing didn't want to be a chef for his family, but he wanted to cook for Ah Heng and Xiao Bai, so he agreed to Xie Hui's request, "Okay, then you prepare the ingredients, and I will make you a fried feast.
