Chapter 387 Eating
In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun forcibly covered the gate of the courtyard with a touch of gold.
Xu Changping, who had been busy all day, had no time to look at the surrounding scenery. He pushed his bicycle slowly through the gate.
However, when he returned to the east wing, he saw only two rooms with closed doors and heavy locks.
He slapped his forehead suddenly, turned around as if he suddenly realized something, and pushed his bicycle out of the yard again.
He was so busy today that he even forgot that Yang Xiaoyue was at school and Xiao Mi was at her master's house.
Thinking of this, Xu Changping shook his head helplessly, got on his bicycle and hurriedly set off for his master's house.
Xu Changping walked quickly all the way and soon arrived at the courtyard of his master's house.
Before I even entered the door, I heard a little girl's cheerful shouts.
He gently pushed open the door and saw Xiao Mi playing with the things in his hands and having a lot of fun, while the old master was drinking tea leisurely beside him.
Xu Changping parked his bicycle, walked forward respectfully and said, "Master, I'm here to pick up Xiao Mi."
Guan Ke turned his head slightly, glanced at him quickly with his peripheral vision, then quickly turned his head away and looked at Xiao Mi lovingly: "If you don't have time in the future, it's okay if you don't come to pick her up. She has her own room here."
Hearing this, Xu Changping couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his nose. A slightly embarrassed smile appeared on his face, and he quickly responded: "How can you do this? You have already worked hard during the day. If she torments you and the old lady at night, you will not be able to rest."
Guan Ke waved his hand and said calmly, "Once in a while, it's nothing."
After saying that, he raised his head and looked at Xu Changping again. Then he slowly put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, and walked towards the main hall.
Not long after, he walked out of the main room again with two exquisite sachets in his hands.
When he reached Xu Changping, he stopped, handed two of the sachets to Xu Changping and said, "Give one to Xiaoyue when you go back. This is a lucky charm that my third sister specially drew today."
Xu Changping took the sachet, opened it and saw the triangular yellow talisman inside. He then looked up and looked around.
Not seeing Sister Miao San, he quietly approached Guan Ke and asked curiously in a low voice, "Will this thing really work?"
Guan Ke's face darkened instantly upon hearing this. He stared at Xu Changping and reprimanded him in a serious tone, "How can it be useless? This was carefully drawn by my third sister, who spent a lot of effort on it. You just need to carry it with you."
Xu Changping was not angry after being scolded. He smiled and said, "Oh, I understand. I'll give it to her when I get back." Then he put the two sachets into his pocket.
Guan Ke was too lazy to watch him wandering in front of him, and waved his hand impatiently and urged: "Okay, take her away quickly."
Now that he has a more perfect successor, Guan Ke no longer wants to see Xu Changping, his disobedient apprentice.
Xu Changping was not angry. He walked to Xiao Mi with a smile, bent down suddenly, picked her up, and threw her into the air several times.
Xiao Mi was not afraid of being thrown out, and laughed loudly and shouted: "Hahaha, Brother Candy, come again, I want to play again."
Guan Ke looked at Xu Changping's actions with a puzzled look, and said unhappily, "Stop it now. She just finished eating not long ago. She will have a stomachache soon."
Xu Changping put Xiao Mi down as he was told, patted her little head and said, "Okay, let's stop playing. Go say goodbye to Master and the others, and we'll go home." After Xiao Mi said goodbye to Guan Ke and Third Sister Miao, Xu Changping took her out of the Wumen courtyard.
As soon as he went out, Xu Changping squatted down and asked Xiao Mi with a smile: "Did you eat enough at Master's house just now?"
Xiao Mi squinted her eyes, pinched a small slit with her thumb and index finger and said, "A little bit full."
Xu Changping understood immediately that this meant she was not full, so he stood up, carried her to the bicycle and said with a smile: "Since you are only a little full, let's go for a walk."
Soon, Xu Changping rode his bicycle and brought Xiao Mi to the gate of a hidden courtyard.
Xiao Mi, who was sitting on the bicycle, stared at Xu Changping with cat eyes and a puzzled look: "Brother Tangguo, this is not our home!"
Xu Changping smiled and patted Xiao Mi's head and said, "Of course not. Didn't I just say I'd take you for a stroll? This is a restaurant."
This restaurant hidden in the courtyard was discovered by Xu Changping by accident. At that time, he was thinking about when to come here for a meal, and he just didn't want to cook today.
After parking the bicycle, Xu Changping took Xiao Mi, whose eyes were shining, into the room.
The shop owner was a slightly plump uncle. When he saw Xu Changping and the others, he immediately greeted them warmly, "Please sit inside. Our signature dishes are braised pork with vermicelli, and our sweet and sour carp is also very delicious."
When Xiao Mi heard about braised pork, she immediately pulled the corner of Xu Changping's clothes with her little hands and said, "Brother Tangguo, I want to eat meat."
Since coming to this world, her favorite dish is braised pork, but because Xu Changping does not have much time to cook, she has only eaten it a few times.
Xu Changping smiled and glanced at Xiao Mi, then said, "Then let's have one portion of braised pork with vermicelli, one portion of sweet and sour carp, one portion of stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and a dessert for the kids."
Xu Changping took Xiao Mi to find a place to sit down, and soon, several dishes were served on the table.
The first thing served was the braised pork with a fragrant meaty aroma and bright red color. The vermicelli underneath was soaked up with gravy. When Xiao Mi saw it, her eyes were glued to it and she couldn’t take them out.
The second dish served was the beautifully shaped sweet and sour carp. The whole fish exuded an enticing sweet and sour aroma. It was the first time for Xiao Mi to see such a shaped dish, and she was immediately attracted to it.
Next served was a plate of green stir-fried seasonal vegetables and a bright yellow egg stewed with milk.
After Xu Changping picked up a piece of stir-fried vegetables with chopsticks, Xiao Mi couldn't wait to pick up a piece of braised pork and stuffed it into her mouth. Her cheeks were puffed up, and she said incoherently: "It's delicious. I love meat."
Xu Changping smiled, picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. After swallowing it slowly, he nodded with great satisfaction.
