"I'm so young, it's already amazing that I can make egg custard. ¡ê¡Ø," 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 has no objection to Xin Xianying holding his arms. To be precise, he has no objection to children wearing clean clothes.
"Well, you are a genius." Chen Xi said with a rare smile, "Do you want to eat anything? 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 this for everyone to try. However, Chen Xixian was bored and asked Mi Fang to bring a boatload of sugar cane, 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.
The current white sugar was accidentally made by a sugar craftsman from the Mi Zhu 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, things like rock sugar also appeared, but this is truly pure natural rock sugar with no additives.
The output of this thing is only so much every year. Although Mi Zhu has such a technology, it is only used as a technical reserve. I guess if we don¡¯t reach subtropical areas, we shouldn¡¯t think about being more productive, so we can just share the thousands of kilograms of sugar every year. It¡¯s purely a benefit, and no one thinks it¡¯s inappropriate.
Chen Xi can just eat a few rock candies to reminisce about them. He has already enjoyed the era of extremely abundant materials, and half of the candies given to him are given to the Chen family, and the rest is divided among the 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. 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 someone like Xin Xianying.
"Okay~" Xin Xianying nodded, then released his hand from Chen Xi, stretched out his fingers and started counting.
"What is it?" Chen Xi asked curiously as he looked at Xin Xianying and clasped his 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 noble girl from a wealthy family. She had a miserable life when she was a child, in terms of material life and so on. Not even a normal kid of his time.
"Oh" Xin Xianying was a little confused. It was obvious that she had not figured it out. She was a scumbag in mathematics.
"There's no need to 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 habitually. As a result, Xin Xianying dodged it.
"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. As a result, in the blink of an eye, the other person was already a big girl. She grew 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 reading the Spring and Autumn Annals to Xin Xianying in the private room on the top floor of the restaurant while eating snacks.
It's a pity that there are paper classics now, otherwise a single Spring and Autumn Story would need a volume to read to Xin Xianying. As for Zhen Mi, she only has so much free time, and she doesn't mind wasting time on one thing, and she keeps 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 jumped in without saying anything, and followed closely.
The waiters and shopkeepers of Zhen's Restaurant were not as arrogant as the Mi family. They didn't show too much expression 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.I planned to walk 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 to point at Xin Xianying to order.
The clerk nodded, "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, holding her tongue.
"You have such a little head, 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 to think about it carefully. In this era, housewarming is very important for a family. Those who participate in such things are naturally the best friends of the same sex. If they are of the opposite sex, I am afraid that even if they are still confidantees 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 as to how to explain. (To be continued)
