With one more Yang Yi, Cuizhu Mountain became even more lively. Gu Shuixiu originally asked Cuixi to clean up another room next to the house where Shen Shikang lived for Yang Yi to live. However, Yang Yi knew that Dong Yi lived in another house and actually asked to live there directly.

Gu Shuixiu was unable to do so, so she had to ask Dong Shan and Dong Xiao to clean up. The house there was relatively small, and although there were many rooms, it was not big, so it was convenient to clean up.

Cuixi and others went to clean the room, while Gu Shuixiu went to the kitchen to clean up the food. Most of them were ready, but some of them were already cold and they had to heat up.

The children were playing crazy outside. Gu Shuixiu took advantage of the hot food and ordered Zhang Xingchi and Zhao Baoer to lead Zhang Junchi and Shen Jiang'an to the bathroom for a bath.

Chen Jiang'an's height and weight are about the same as Zhang Xingchi, and he can wear his clothes.

When Yang Yi heard Gu Shuixiu's words, he proposed to go to the bathroom to help them, but was stopped by Zhang Xingchi, "Uncle Yang, we can do it ourselves, you don't need to help."

If the person who rejected him was an adult, Yang Yi could still refute righteously, but he would not be too tough if the other party was a child or a child that his master valued.

Just when Yang Yi was hesitating, Shen Shikang spoke, "Yang Yi, let Jiang An go with them. He is so old, and it's time to learn to take a bath by himself."

Chen Jiangan cheered and took clothes with Zhang Xingchi and others, and ran to the bathroom in a hurry.

Gu Shuixiu glanced at them before continuing to work hard.

After the children came out cleanly, Gu Shuixiu also arranged all the meals.

Shen Shikang and Shen Ziping and Yang Yi were invited to the table and found that the meals were so sumptuous. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were delicacies. More importantly, these dishes were very novel and completely different from what they had eaten before.

After Gu Shuixiu's introduction, they learned that this table contains diced Gongbao chicken, sweet and sour carp, braised prawns, crispy pork ribs, roasted tender roe deer, salt chicken, fried clams, steamed oysters, cold kelp, and lean sea stew soup. The rice is a real dry rice, with yellow granules inside, which smells extremely fragrant.

Seeing this table, Shen Ziping widened his eyes, while Shen Shikang frowned deeply. He has always been simple and has never eaten such a luxurious meal. The Dong family is just an ordinary family. How can they have the ability to make such a table of dishes? Could it be that they, like those who cling to the powerful, want to take the opportunity to please them?

Gu Shuixiu seemed to see what Shen Shikang was thinking, and in order not to misunderstand the Shen family, he explained: "Mr. Chen, we raise these chickens, ducks and fish, rice is grown by ourselves, and oil is squeezed by ourselves, but we ask that we make these things for self-sufficiency, not for sale.

Next to Cuizhu Mountain is the beach. These seafood are picked up from the beach and we often eat them. You may not get used to it just now, so it will be better. Mr. Chen, Brother Shen, don’t be too late, eat it while it’s hot.”

With Gu Shuixiu's explanation, Shen Shikang's face improved a lot. He couldn't stand it despite letting him eat such a sumptuous meal. As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. If he gets used to good food at the Dong family, what will he do when he goes back in the future?

However, today is their first meal in Cuizhushan. Shen Shikang didn't say much, thinking that maybe it was the Dong family who cooked such a sumptuous meal to receive them, and it might be fine after tomorrow.

But this idea lasted for a moment. When Shen Shikang ate his first bite of food, he knew that the cooking skills and taste were definitely something he made often. Thinking of this, Shen Shikang couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that this was really a "common meal" of the Dong family!

Shen Ziping would not think too much. He had eaten the Dong family's food and looked at the Dong family's room. He was extremely glad that his father kept Jiang An. Their current conditions are not as good as those of the Dong family. It doesn't matter if the adults endure hardship, but if the children were allowed to follow them, Shen Ziping always felt unbearable.

After the Dong family had finished the meal, it was already at the peak of the willows. Several children were rushed to bed by Gu Shuixiu. Otherwise, it would be too late tomorrow. Gu Shuixiu packed up and asked Luo Ying to boil hot water for the three of the Shen family, and then she went back to the house to lie down.

Shen Ziping couldn't sleep after washing up, so he happened to sit in the yard and talk to Shen Shikang and Yang Yi.

The mountain wind on autumn nights is a bit bit biting. Although it is not as cold as the cold winter, it will make people feel a headache if they blow too much.

Shen Ziping was worried that Shen Shikang could not bear it, so he simply suggested to speak in Shen Shikang's room.

Because Shen Shikang had to live in the Dong family for a long time, his room was more particular than the ones that Shen Ziping had temporarily stayed in. There was not only a stepping bed, but also a large round table with four stools, a large wardrobe and a clothes rack.

There are quite a few things that should be found. Although they are not expensive wood, they are all strong and durable ash. In addition, there is also a bamboo couch in the room. It seems to be used for cool off in summer. It is almost winter and I can't use it.

The quilts and pillowcases on the bed are made of cotton, and the quilts are filled with cotton, which is fluffy and warm. All the things in this room cost several taels of silver. Although the guest rooms they live in are not as complete as this room, they are not bad either. It seems that the Dong family’s family is indeed well-off.

Shen Shikang sat down, drank a cup of hot water comfortably, and smiled kindly, "The bathroom is so wonderful. In the past, when taking a bath at home, it was the most common thing to use a bathtub. Although we have servants in our family, it is always inconvenient to move around like this, especially when pouring water, it is impossible to carry it without three or four people.

You guys took a shower just now, but I found the difference between this bathroom?"

Yang Yi nodded, "Master, you need to connect cold water to this bathroom. Just boil hot water directly, without having to bring water or something, saving effort."

"Not only that, the water from the bath can be discharged without pouring it into the bathroom. There are places for pancreas and buckets for dirty clothes. The best thing is that it is divided into two rooms and men and women. The Dong family is really wonderful." Shen Ziping exclaimed repeatedly. He also came out of the Fugui Township and had seen various ways to enjoy Jiankang's wealthy families.

He has been in the Emperor's bathing place, and the space inside is much larger. If it is comfortable, it is not as good as the Dong family's bathroom.

"Dad, how could you tell me that the Dong family is a mountaineering man, so how could they know so many strange things, especially the food they eat, good guys, those are almost as good as the Jiankang No. 1 Restaurant. I only went there a few times. To be honest, the dishes at the Jiankang No. 1 Restaurant are just good. If you want to say that the taste is better, the Dong family is better today!"

Shen Ziping highly praised Gu Shuixiu, Cuixi and others for their cooking skills.
