"I'm so young, it's already amazing how I can cook egg custard.￡∝," Xin Xianying said dissatisfied, "And I also know more than a thousand words, can tell fifteen stories, and can please people.
"As he said this, Xin Xianying hugged Chen Xi's arm.
Chen Xi didn't have any objection to Xin Xianying holding his arms. To be precise, he didn't have any objection to the neatly dressed children.
"Well, you are a genius." Chen Xi said with a rare smile, "Do you want to eat something? I will take you there. I guess you don't have much money, but I remember you secretly eating my snacks."
After hearing this, Xin Xianying immediately looked around as if she didn't know anything. Chen Xi didn't care too much. It's normal for children to like sweets.
"But eat less sweet things, and you'd better not eat too much of my rock sugar. It's too sweet and be careful with your teeth." Chen Xi patted Xin Xianying's head and said, saying that sugar was banned by Mi Zhu a year ago.
It was done according to the steps required by Chen Xi.
It's just that sugar cane is not produced in Mount Tai. When Gan Ning came back from the south, he brought some of it for everyone to try. However, Chen Xixian was bored and asked Mi Fang to bring a boatload of sugar cane back, press it into juice, and then boil it into a paste.
Sugar, sugar at that time was all red crystals in the shape of slabs.
Today's white sugar was accidentally made by a sugar craftsman from Mi Zhu's family. As for the concept of unintentional sugar, it was basically pouring charcoal into the puree.
After that, white sugar appeared, and as the technology became more and more perfect, rock sugar also appeared, but this is truly pure natural rock sugar with no additives.
The output of this thing is only a small amount every year. Although Mi Zhu has such a technology, it is only used as a technical reserve. I guess there is no need to think about being more productive until it reaches the subtropical areas, so everyone can share the more than a thousand kilograms of sugar every year.
Yes. It’s purely a welfare benefit, and no one thinks it’s inappropriate.
Chen Xi could just eat a few rock candies to reminisce about them. He had already enjoyed the era of extremely abundant material resources, and half of the candies given to him were given to the Chen family, and the rest was shared among his family members.
As for Xin Xianying, she naturally has no chance to eat this kind of snack, which is almost the most advanced snack in this era. If Chen Xi doesn't warn her, all her candies will be eaten, and Xin Xianying will have a terrible toothache.
"Oh~" Xin Xianying said in a long voice. She likes this sweet thing very much. It is much more reliable than honey water.
"So don't believe it. You can only eat three pills a day." Chen Xi pulled Xin Xianying and said with a smile. Children who are obedient and smart are very lovable, especially people like Xin Xianying.
"Okay~" Xin Xianying nodded, then released his hand from Chen Xi, stretched out his fingers and started counting.
"What?" Chen Xi asked curiously as he watched Xin Xianying clasp her fingers.
"Let's see how long I can eat." Xin Xianying said without raising her head.
"It will probably be a long time. I basically don't eat much." Chen Xi looked at Xin Xianying with some pity. She was a rich and noble girl. She had a miserable life when she was a child. In terms of material life, she was not even as good as a normal child of his time.
"Oh..." Xin Xianying was a little confused. It was obvious that she didn't figure it out. She was a scumbag in mathematics.
"Don't forget it, just know how to eat. Come on, I'll take you to a restaurant to treat you to a meal and read you some stories in the afternoon." Chen Xi rubbed Xin Xianying's head out of habit, but Xin Xianying got out of the way.
Already.
"That's not cute." Chen Xi looked at Xin Xianying who was sulking aside and couldn't help but think of the same look on Zhen Mi's face. Three years ago, he could still touch Zhen Mi's head like this. But in the blink of an eye, the other party was already there.
She is a big girl now and she grows up really fast.
Xin Xianying dodged Chen Xi's hand. She made a face and skipped towards the restaurant in front. Zhen Mi had been eating snacks and reading the Spring and Autumn Annals to Xin Xianying in the private room on the top floor of the restaurant.
Unfortunately, there are now paper classics, otherwise a single Spring and Autumn Story would require a volume of books to read to Xin Xianying. As for Zhen Mi, who has only so much free time, she doesn't mind wasting time on one aspect, and is constantly reading to Xin Xianying.
While retelling, Zhen Mi also gained a deeper understanding of these classics.
Chen Xi stood under the restaurant, looked at the small "Zhen" in the lower right corner of the plaque and shook his head slightly. He looked at Xin Xianying who had already jumped in without saying anything, and followed him in.
The waiters and shopkeepers of the Zhen Family Restaurant were not as showy as the Mi Family. They didn't show too much emotion after seeing Chen Xi. They just arranged for a waiter to come over and welcome Chen Xi to the private room on the second floor.
The shopkeeper cupped his hands from a distance and made an apologetic look. Chen Xi just nodded and followed the waiter towards the second floor.
"Here are the three dishes she likes to eat, and another soup." After the waiter welcomed Chen Xi to the second floor, he stood aside and waited silently. It was not until Xin Xianying slipped down from the third floor that Chen Xi started pointing at Xin Xianying to order.
The clerk nodded and said, "If you have any other needs, I'll be on the second floor. Just say hello." The clerk knew very well what Xin Xianying liked to eat. After all, Zhen Mi often brought Xin Xianying here. As for why she didn't
Chen Xi took him to the third floor. To be precise, the third floor was where people from the Zhen family rested, but now it was designated as Zhen Mi's territory. There was no way anyone could make this restaurant the highest restaurant in the area.
"Why, I didn't convince her, which makes you very unhappy." Chen Xi looked at the angry Xin Xianying and said with a smile.
"Hey, how did you know?" Xin Xianying asked in surprise, her mouth licking her lips.
"You have such a little head, but you still want to hide it from me." Chen Xi nodded on Xin Xianying's head and said.
Xin Xianying pursed her lips and looked quite cute, "Why don't you sister Mi'er? Sister is so beautiful, and aren't you very good friends? My mother said that people of the same age who will decorate your home with you are not your best friends.
She is your future pillow, but Sister Mi'er said you don't want her anymore."
"..." Chen Xi was slightly surprised. What kind of stuff was Xin Xianying's mother teaching? Is this educating children?
But Chen Xi is right if he thinks about it carefully. In this era, housewarming is very important for a family. People of the same sex who participate in such things are naturally the best friends. If they are of the opposite sex, I am afraid that even if they are still confidante now, they will also be bedfellows in the future.
"Hey, you don't want Sister Mi'er. Sister Mi'er is very sad, and you haven't told me stories recently." Xin Xianying shook Chen Xi's arm and said, giving Chen Xi a headache. How to explain. (To be continued...
