After crossing over: kidnapping a female hunter to be the stepfather of the three cubs

To be honest, Zhao Huanxi has not yet had a good time in this town. Every time he comes back, he rushes around the town like an NPC on a mission.

It was already noon, and Zhao Huanxi took a few of his daughters to a restaurant where there were not many customers. Zhao Huanxi really wanted to try the food of this ancient restaurant.

As soon as I entered the door, a waiter came to greet me.

But seeing Zhao Huanxi leading a few girls, and they were dressed a little poorly, he seemed a little indifferent. The expression on his face also changed from enthusiasm to a little disgusted.

"Everyone wants to come and eat at our Zhenxiu Pavilion..." He thought no one could hear his muttering, but he didn't know that Zhao Huanxi heard it clearly.

Zhao Huanxi thought, here it comes, it’s finally here, it’s finally her turn to play the pig and eat the tiger. Just as she was about to order a table full of dishes to slap the waiter in the face, a man who looked like the shopkeeper came out from the counter and glared at the waiter fiercely.

"Little Dongzi, if you can do it, do it. If you can't, get out. We can't keep a big Buddha like you in our Zhenxiu Pavilion!"

Then he walked towards Zhao Huanxi with a smile on his face:

"Excuse me, Madam. This is my wife's nephew. He doesn't know the etiquette. I hope you don't mind. What would you like to eat? Should we sit down or go to the private room?"

Listening to the shopkeeper's long chatter, Zhao Huanxi was at a loss as to what to do. Looking around, he saw many men sitting in the hall drinking, so he asked the shopkeeper for a private room.

"Alright, Madam and the ladies, please come this way~"

I followed the shopkeeper through the main hall and went up the stairs to the second floor from the back of the hall.

Zhao Huanxi held Xiao Nian in her arms and let Xiao Pan and Xiao Yin walk in front, fearing that they would be kidnapped if they walked behind. She was very scared.

Going up to the second floor, there were many elegant decorations. The shopkeeper led us to a private room facing the street. Inside, there was an octagonal table, several armchairs, and several literati paintings and calligraphy hanging on the wall.

Open the window and you can see the hustle and bustle of the street. It’s really a great place to eat.

"What would you like to eat, Madam? Our restaurant just received two large roe deer this morning, which we will use to make the Red Jade Hall. We also have the Cui Yukui and Cui Shao Qing Liu Si, which are specially provided by our Treasure Pavilion. They are the most suitable for the little girl."

"Please serve some of your restaurant's specialties, and a pot of tea."

"Okay! Please wait a moment, I'll be there soon!" The shopkeeper stepped out after hearing this and considerately closed the door of the private room.

Zhao Huanxi secretly complained in his heart, otherwise he could be the shopkeeper. He could resolve the situation with just a few words. It would be inappropriate for him to argue with the waiter again.

When the door of the box was closed, the kids let go of their nature and excitedly lay on the window, chattering and saying some funny things.

Zhao Huanxi sat down. After a while, the door rang and another person dressed as a waiter came in with two pots of tea.

"Sir, please wait a moment. This is our store's specialty black tea. Please try it. Your dish will be here soon." He poured a cup for Zhao Huanxi.

He took out another pot and said, "This is the cinnamon-flavored syrup our boss has specially sent to you, seeing that the young ladies in the madam's family are well behaved. Please enjoy it slowly."

After saying that, he walked out. Zhao Huanxi looked at the pot of sugar water and thought that the shopkeeper must have sent it to apologize for what happened just now.

I poured a cup into a porcelain cup, and there was no sediment in it. I smelled the sweet fragrance of osmanthus and took a sip. The sweetness was moderate, which was quite suitable for the little girl's taste.

He called a few people who were leaning against the window to watch the fun and poured each of them a cup of sugar water.

"Mother, it smells so good."

"Mom, it's delicious."

Only Xiao Pan took a sip and put down the cup.

"What's wrong, Xiao Pan? Is it not tasty?" Zhao Huanxi was a little puzzled. This sugar water tasted pretty good.

"Mom, I want to drink that tea. I think it tastes good." Xiao Pan said seriously.

Zhao Huanxi expressed her understanding, saying that she herself is a person who doesn't like sweets. She will feel dizzy if she smells too much sweet things.

I picked up the teapot filled with black tea and poured a cup for Xiao Pan. Xiao Pan took a sip:

"Mom, this tea tastes a little lighter than the one I drank at the pharmacy this morning, but the sweetness in my mouth after drinking it is stronger than this morning."

Zhao Huanxi didn't expect Xiao Pan to be able to tell so many tricks, she didn't even realize it herself.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the waiter brought the dishes and placed them on the table one by one, introducing them.

"Madam, this is our restaurant's signature dish, Ruby Hall. We have Braised Willow Shreds, Honey Glutinous Rice and Lotus Root, Celery-Fragrant Minced Pork, and Winter Meat Dumpling Soup. Your dishes are ready, please enjoy."

"Wait, give me some more rice."

"Okay, I'll be there in a moment."

Only after the waiter left did Zhao Huanxi's speechless expression fade. "Red Jade Full House" was simply braised pork with radish, "Qi Xiang Pork Minced Meat" was simply stir-fried pork with celery, "Winter Meatball Soup" was simply winter melon and meatball soup, and the funniest thing was "Cui Shao Qing Liu Shi" (Shredded Green Willow) was simply stir-fried pork with green vegetables...

These names sound like a scam, but luckily I picked up two and tasted them and they tasted good, at least the taste was not a scam, so I asked the children to sit down and eat.

"Mom, this is delicious." Xiao Yin took a bite of the glutinous rice lotus root and gave Zhao Huanxi a recommendation.

Xiao Nian picked up a piece of braised pork and radish with her chopsticks and gave it to Zhao Huanxi. "Mom, this is delicious too."

Zhao Huanxi smiled and let the children eat by themselves. After they were full, they went shopping for clothes in the afternoon.

"We just bought new clothes, so let's not buy any more, Mom." Xiao Pan looked at the table full of food and felt a little sorry for his mother's money. When he heard that they were going to buy clothes again in the afternoon, he wanted to stop his mother's idea.

"Don't be afraid, mother has plenty of money, raising you guys to be fat and plump is no problem."

The few of them devoured the food on the table like whirlwind, with not much left. This was the most comfortable meal Zhao Huanxi had ever had since he traveled through time, mainly because he didn't have to cook it himself or wash the dishes.

They ate until their bellies were full, and they sat on stools and rested for a cup of tea before they recovered.

"Come on, let's go buy some clothes."

After shouting "check out" outside the door, a waiter came in and led Zhao Huanxi downstairs.

In the accounting office downstairs, the shopkeeper saw Zhao Huanxi coming downstairs and enthusiastically asked if everyone had eaten well.

Zhao Huanxi smiled and praised the dishes, and the shopkeeper started to calculate with an abacus.

"Madam, your total expenditure is one ounce and two qian of silver."

Zhao Huanxi paid the bill and before leaving, she asked the shopkeeper to buy half a can of cinnamon sugar paste, which cost her three taels of silver. The shopkeeper also said that the sugar paste could be drunk for two months.

Take it home and scoop a small spoonful with a spoon, which can make a large pot. At first, the shopkeeper was reluctant to sell it, but Zhao Huanhao persuaded him, and the shopkeeper pretended to be embarrassed and sold half a can.

Sure enough, this kind of business trick exists in every dynasty. Zhao Huanxi held his forehead and smiled bitterly.

After eating and drinking their fill, they all had more energy to walk, and walked quickly to the cloth shop they had been to last time. The proprietress was still there.

The proprietress recognized at a glance that the clothes on Zhao Huanxi were made by her family, and hurriedly greeted Zhao Huanxi.

"Boss, the clothes you made last time were very suitable for me. So, I brought a few of my maids to ask you to make two more sets."

When the proprietress heard this, she immediately smiled and hurriedly took the person to the display cabinet to choose the patterns.

This time, Zhao Huanxi picked out a piece of pure cotton cloth with a light peach-colored plum blossom pattern, a piece of pure cotton cloth with a light yellow embroidered sunflower pattern, and a piece of pure cotton cloth with a dark green lotus leaf pattern for herself. These pure cotton cloths were all worth one tael of silver per piece.

However, there were no purple and black cloths on the display cabinet. Zhao Huanxi remembered that it was probably because the technology of dyeing cloth was not yet sophisticated in that era. These two colors were the most difficult to dye, and only wealthy families could afford them.

A small cloth shop like this probably wouldn't sell it.

The proprietress watched Zhao Huanxi pick and choose, her fingers moving expertly on the abacus. Finally, the total came to three taels and one qian of silver.
