My supermarket is connected to all worlds, and I've won so much money handing it over to the st

"No need to be so polite. Your young master agreed to let me stay for one night, so consider this my token of gratitude." Gu Xixi said, looking at Xiao Shen Qingyan.

Mr. and Mrs. Shen also looked at Shen Qingyan, wondering if they should let this girl stay at their house for one night.

After Xiao Shen Qingyan finished explaining everything, Shen's parents were taken aback: This young lady went out alone, they were worried that something might happen to her.

Just now, her skill...

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Even the most skilled person would be outmatched if faced with a large enough group, let alone a woman like this, who is indeed unsafe to stay in an inn alone.

Especially after she helped them today... both morally and logically, they should take this girl home and escort her back to her home tomorrow.

Gu Xixi also realized that her image had collapsed, but since Xiao Shen Qingyan didn't say anything, she didn't ask and pretended to be stupid.

"Then please come back with us, young lady. However, our home is in a sorry state, and we hope you will forgive us." Madam Shen stepped forward to lead Gu Xixi, her face beaming with smiles.

This girl looks to be only just of marriageable age, and she's already out here experiencing life. It must be tough for her, but with such an enlightened elder, she must not have come from an ordinary family.

Xiao Shen Qingyan carried his father on his back and walked behind the two of them. Gu Xixi turned around and saw Xiao Shen Qingyan smiling at her.

The man dressed as a servant smiled at her and said, "Miss, your martial arts are amazing! Does everyone in your family know martial arts? Is your father some kind of legendary martial arts leader?"

"You have quite the imagination," Gu Xixi shook her head. "No, I also learned from other masters. I don't know the identity of my teacher. Maybe he really is the leader of the martial arts alliance."

"Young lady, no matter how skilled you are in martial arts, you shouldn't easily stand up for others in the future. If you offend someone, your path will become difficult. Where do you plan to go, and how long will you stay in Qingcheng County?"

As Shen's mother asked the question, she opened the gate to her courtyard and gestured for Gu Xixi to come in with her.

As Gu Xixi walked in, she calmly rambled on, "I came from the same place and I'm going back to the same place. I'll be staying here for two days, and I'll leave after I finish my business. I'll be bothering you for the next couple of days."

"Not at all. Even if you hadn't helped us today, we should have helped you. Don't say we're bothering you. Muzhi, come and talk to Miss Gu. Your father and I will go make dinner."

Mother Shen walked with light steps, her steps filled with the joy and politeness of welcoming guests.

The man dressed as a servant had to go back to work, so he took his leave, leaving only Xiao Shen Qingyan sitting opposite Gu Xixi, looking slightly reserved.

But his gaze was open and honest. He glanced at Gu Xixi a few times, then stood up and walked out. "Miss, you must be thirsty after traveling for so long. I'll go and make you a pot of tea."

After saying that, he disappeared from Gu Xixi's sight.

Gu Xixi: ...

She sat in the main room, looking out into the courtyard, and could faintly hear the conversation of a family of three coming from the kitchen not far away.

An ordinary person would certainly not be able to hear it clearly, but Gu Xixi's physical condition is now many times stronger than that of an ordinary person, so she can hear it clearly.

"Muzhi, bring the best tea leaves. Your father likes them, so we'll buy some more next month. Don't neglect the young lady."

“Your mother is right, I can bear with it. After we finish this fish, there’s still this piece of pork, with its perfect balance of fat and lean… Oh, and make some fresh grass cakes too, so that girl can try our specialty… I’ll go to Zhenjiang Tower to buy another dish; this really isn’t enough to entertain our guests…”

"Father, here are the 28 coins I earned today. Please take them. The owner of Zhenjiang Tower said he needs more live wild animals tomorrow, so I'll go hunting and exchange them for money..."

“If it weren’t to avoid attracting attention, you wouldn’t have needed to hide your martial arts skills today… Muzhi, if you become an official in the future, you must not be a corrupt official like the one in Qingcheng County… leaving no way for the common people to survive.”

"Father and Mother, rest assured, your son will definitely be a good official, a very, very good official. Although I may not be able to change the whole world, wherever I, Shen Qingyan, am, I will ensure that the people have a place to seek redress for their grievances..."

……

As Gu Xixi listened, a slight smile played on her lips. In her heart, she silently replied: Yes, you will achieve your wish of becoming a top scholar in both civil and military affairs, and you will also be a very, very good official.

Before long, Xiao Shen Qingyan returned with the tea. Gu Xixi kept praising it as she drank it, giving Shen's father plenty of emotional value. Shen's father peeked into the main room and said: "This tea is well-made!"

Another quarter of an hour later, the food was served.

A dish that tasted like braised fish, a fresh grass cake, a packaged sliced ​​meat from Zhenjianglou, and an unnamed stir-fry and soup.

Gu Xixi could tell that this was the best thing they had in their house that they could offer to guests.

After carefully observing Gu Xixi's expression and confirming that Gu Xixi did not feel neglected, Mrs. Shen began to introduce the dishes. Under the expectant gazes of the three members of the Shen family, Gu Xixi picked up her chopsticks and reached for the fresh grass cake first, saying, "It's been a long time since I've had this."

"You've also tried fresh grass cakes, young lady?" Xiao Shen Qingyan asked in surprise. This young lady clearly said she was new to the mortal world, so she shouldn't have tried this local specialty before.

“A friend once made it for me; he said it was a specialty of his hometown,” Gu Xixi replied, looking at Xiao Shen Qingyan as if she had returned to the days when she ate together with the adult version of him in the supermarket.

She took a bite of the fresh grass cake; it was sweet and refreshing, without that slightly bitter taste that lingered long after the first bite…

Seeing her hesitate for a moment, Madam Shen quickly asked, "Is it not to your liking, Miss?"

"No, it's just a little different from what I've had before. Isn't it common for people to add medicinal herbs to fresh herb cakes to strengthen their bodies and prevent diseases? That's what my friend told me. He said his cakes had some herbs added, so I thought they were all the same, and that's why I was a little surprised."

Gu Xixi quickly explained, and Shen's mother's eyes lit up.

"That's a good suggestion, young lady. Let's do it that way from now on. As for the recipe, I'll think about it carefully. It's a way to prevent various diseases and strengthen the body through diet therapy..."

Father Shen and young Shen Qingyan nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with approval.

Gu Xixi was speechless. So, was the fresh grass cake recipe hers or Shen's mother's recipe...?

No wonder the system said that if she came here, then she was meant to be here...

She didn't say much. After dinner, Xiao Shen Qingyan took her to Shen's mother's bedroom, where Shen's mother prepared a change of clothes for her, etc.

By the time of Xu (7-9 PM), it was completely dark. Shen's mother and Gu Xixi lay down on the bed and talked for a while. Gu Xixi then asked the system to set an alarm for her at 11 PM so she could sleep peacefully.

At 11 p.m., Gu Xixi opened her eyes and, after confirming that Shen's mother had not woken up, slowly got out of bed, dressed, and quietly went out to keep her appointment.
