Wow! My wife is beautiful and obedient, everyone envies her!

Qi Yuan had almost forgotten about this.

He said he would stay home and rest today, and he definitely won't go out.

I took the money and paid for the repairs.

Xiu took the money and went out to help Qi Yuan buy advertising space at the newspaper office for tomorrow.

After finishing all that, he went back to his family's shop, asked a few questions, and finally headed to Qiyuan's restaurant.

The restaurant opens at 10 a.m.

Within twenty minutes, customers started coming in to dine.

Robinson's family has been in business for generations. Although they are in the reselling business, they still own several shops. Xiu has seen many common phrases used to greet guests since he was a child.

He asked the diners about their satisfaction with the dishes.

The guests here dined last night.

After eating it last night, I kept thinking about it after I got home.

I was planning to come here again tonight, but I saw that the restaurant was open so early, so I came here to eat again.

The Dongzhou cuisine of Qiyuan is quite novel to the Beizhou people who are tasting it for the first time. At least for them now, they are in a honeymoon period with the congee hotpot and wish they could eat it every day.

Xiu actually agrees with the two diners' opinions. The first time he ate it, he was really addicted and wished he could eat it three times a week.

However, after eating it a few times, you'll gradually get tired of it and start eating it less often.

After the first table of guests arrived, many more guests followed one after another.

It's much better than yesterday when we opened the store and there were no customers for two hours.

Xiu sat at the counter, idly calculating today's bill with a pen and paper.

Suddenly, the sound of high heels approached slowly, growing louder and louder.

Xiu smiled and looked up. "Hello, welcome to Zhou Hot Pot. What would you like to eat?"

He looked at the person in front of him, reciting his lines with perfect fluency.

Xiu's smile froze when he saw the beautiful woman in front of him, dressed in expensive fur and with lips painted so red it looked like she had just drunk human blood.

He looked at the man the woman was arm in arm with, who was about his age, while the woman in front of him was clearly over forty.

Even though the other person had applied very elaborate makeup, it was still difficult to hide the wrinkles around their eyes.

The woman looked Xiu up and down, then said, "You're not bad looking, the type Noah would be interested in. Are you the only one here today? Where's Qi Yuan?"

"Ah Yuan's leg injury hasn't healed yet, so he's resting at home today. Ms. Daphne, are you here for a meal?"

Noah's aunt, Daphne Davis, was someone Xiu was meeting for the first time, but her aura already made him guess her identity.

"A meal?" Daphne smiled. "Do you think I would eat such inferior food?"

As she spoke, she glanced unhappily at the tasting booth at the entrance out of the corner of her eye.

The news that Qi Yuan's tasting booth offered multiple free meat samples had already spread throughout Juecheng yesterday.

The restaurant is not open yet today.

There were already quite a few children, as well as some ragged women and homeless people queuing up at the entrance.

Xiu had actually wanted to tell Qi Yuan last night not to set up a tasting stall, since tasting stalls would attract a lot of people who wanted to take advantage of the situation, especially since there were many poor people in Juecheng.

Although they only received three pieces of meat, eating three pieces of meat in the dead of winter was a kind of happiness for them.

Judging by the size of this queue, the tasting booth is going to lose several thousand dollars again today.

"Who am I? Who are those guys? Do they deserve to eat the same food as me? You and Qi Yuan own this restaurant together?"

Daphne's voice was full of arrogance.

In her eyes, if Qi Yuan set up a tasting stall to give free meat to the poor, it meant that the meat must be of very poor quality and not worthy of her eating.

Xiu also gleaned a message from her: I'm here to cause trouble, not to eat!

Xiu sighed inwardly.

If I had known, I would have stayed home with Qi Yuan and read the book he disliked the most today, so I wouldn't have had to talk to Daphne.

I had heard of metaphysics in the Eastern Continent before.

Could it be that Qi Yuan also possesses metaphysics and knows that it's not advisable to go out today?

Seeing the other party's arrogant attitude, Xiu smiled and said, "Yes, this restaurant was given to me and Ayuan by the head of the family."

Daphne smiled dismissively. "Isn't he afraid you two will fight? Giving a restaurant to two male concubines, speaking of which, Xiu Robinson, who is Noah's favorite, you or Qi Yuan?"

"Ms. Daphne, who do you think is more favored, me or A Yuan?" Xiu asked with a smile.

Her features were delicate, and her beautiful eyes held a smile.

Daphne pulled her hand away from her male companion's, moved closer to the counter, raised her hand, and gently ran her fingertips across Xiu's cheek.

"Noah warned the servants that if they dared to speak out of turn, they would never be allowed to speak again, so now it's difficult for me to get any information about the household from them. Therefore, I don't know which of you two is more favored. However, if you come to me, I will definitely spoil you the most. Of course, if you tell me about your household affairs, I will give you even more benefits."

A calculating glint flashed in Xiu's eyes.

He fully understood Daphne's intentions.

He smiled and said, "Ms. Daphne, you have already investigated my background, so you should know my hobbies."

“I know, but we can play together. I can bring that boy from Dongzhou that you used to like back to Dongzhou for you, and then you can both play together in my house. And in my house, you don’t have to worry about your father coming out to stop you or sending you to church.”

Xiu's face instantly turned gloomy, and his eyes as he looked at Daphne were somewhat cold and fierce.

Daphne was very satisfied, and he showed this expression.

Xiu, the little fox, was just acting with him, but when it came to that boy from Dongzhou, he couldn't act anymore.

"Can you find him?"

"Of course he can. When your father sent him away, he said he was sending him back to the Eastern Continent, but he wasn't. He's still in the Northern Continent."

Xiu's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Daphne, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

He hadn't actually considered that the person wasn't sent back to the Eastern Continent, because the Robinson family sent a caravan to the Eastern Continent every month, so taking one person with them wouldn't be difficult at all.

However, considering his father's cruelty, he believed that even if the boy went to Dongzhou with the caravan, there was a high chance he would die on the way.

The fact that the boy was still in the North Continent was something he never expected.

After thinking it over, he secretly clenched his fist.

Do you want to see him again?

Daphne continued to ask questions.

Xiu raised his head, his eyes somewhat fierce, but when he saw the person standing behind Daphne, his expression changed slightly, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

The person standing behind Daphne glanced at him with indifferent blue eyes and asked coldly, "Who is he?"

Daphne jumped in fright and turned around to see Noah with cold eyes and a solemn expression. She stammered, "Noah, what brings you here?"
