Aunt Ruan stood up and said: "I have been out for a long time. In order to prevent the old lady from worrying about the girl's affairs, I will go back home now."

Mrs. Xie was in a complicated mood and had no intention of staying with the guests. She sent Nanny Ruan and the others away, then turned around and asked Xu Xi, "Are you sure it's true?"

Xu Xi nodded: "Since they have produced evidence and it is a certificate issued by the government, it is correct."

Mr. Xie was silent for a moment: "Then when will you return to the Marquis Mansion?"

"tomorrow."

"So soon?" When Ms. Xie saw the little red mole, she knew that Xu Xi couldn't keep her, but when she heard that she was leaving tomorrow, she still felt very uncomfortable.

Xu Yongyi sighed: "After you go back, if you are wronged, then come back to Xu's house. This door will always be open to you."

"Yeah." Xu Xi showed a bright smile, "Okay."

Suddenly, there was a sobbing sound next to them. The three of them turned around and saw Xu Xue standing at the door, crying non-stop. Seeing that Xu Xi had discovered her, she simply broke the jar and squatted down whimpering.

started to cry.

Xu Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he walked over and helped her up: "Fool, I will go to the Hou Mansion to stay for one night tomorrow, and then go to the academy to register the day after tomorrow. If I don't live in the academy by then, I will have to live with you in a house in the county.

Here it is."

Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered something and turned to Xu Yongyi and said: "Uncle, please discuss with aunt about our accommodation. After the house in the county expires, you asked a middleman to rent it out. If we

If you want to move to the county, you have to talk to your spouse immediately. If you live on your own, I'm afraid the house will have to be tidied up."

Xu Yongyi hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, let me discuss this matter with your aunt."

In fact, he originally made up his mind not to move to the county. Money is tight at home, so renting out the house would at least make an income. As for Xu Xi and Xu Xue, we will see if the accommodation is expensive. If not,

, just live in the academy; if it's more expensive, just like Xu Chongwen, ride a mule cart back and forth every day.

But now that the situation has changed, he hesitates.

If they don't move to the county seat, the Hou Mansion will definitely let Xu Xi live in the academy. If they go back to the Hou Mansion during the break, it will be difficult for them to meet Xu Xi. But if they move to the county, Xu Xi will not be allowed to live in the academy without permission.

They will live at home; even if they don't live at home, they can still see each other from time to time. In this case, it doesn't make much sense whether Xu Xi returns to the Hou Mansion or not.

Furthermore, moving to the county seat is very beneficial to both Xu Chongwen and Xu Xue. Otherwise, no matter whether it is windy or rainy, the two of them will have to travel back and forth. It’s okay that Xu Chongwen is a boy, so he can eat something

It didn't matter whether it was painful or not; but Xu Yongyi couldn't bear to let a delicate and frail little girl like Xu Xue run around.

Xu Xi saw Xu Yongyi's thoughts and quickly said: "Uncle, I tasted the snacks in the county today. I have some inspiration. I want my aunt to try making a snack to see if it can be sold in the city.

"This kind of snack, I have seen in books before, is commonly eaten in Sichuan Province. If we can sell it, we will have income, and it won't matter if we live in the city."

Before Xu Yongyi and Mr. Xie could speak, Xu Xue started to ask like a barrage of questions: "What kind of snacks? How to make them?"

Ms. Xie patted her daughter lightly and said angrily: "Girls, why are you so impatient? Look at your sister, how steady she is." Turning around, she asked herself, "What kind of snack?"

Xu Xue curled her lips and muttered in a low voice: "Only the state officials are allowed to set fires and the people are not allowed to light lamps." Seeing Mr. Xie glaring at her, she quickly shrank behind Xu Xi.

Xu Xi pulled Xu Xue and said with a smile: "Aunt, when I change clothes, I will go to the kitchen to tell you. Soak the kelp and then go around the village to see who has dried chili peppers.

It’s different from our chili peppers, you have to add two or three of each kind. Then go buy some tofu skin and bring it back.”

She looked at Xu Yongyi again: "Uncle, go pick some cucumbers from the vegetable garden."

Speaking of this, Xu Xi was very grateful to the time-travel queen. That guy was probably a foodie, and he collected peppers, potatoes, corn and other grains, vegetables and various spices from nowhere, which benefited Xu Xi, a latecomer.

"Okay." Mr. Xie agreed.

After Xu Xi and Xu Xue entered the house, she took Xu Yongyi to the kitchen and asked in a low voice: "Ms. Xi, do you think what Sister Xi said is reliable? She doesn't know how to cook in the kitchen. She can really teach me how to cook.

Anything that can be sold for money?"

"No matter what, since Sister Xi said it, let's give it a try. Even if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter. The things she mentioned are not valuable. Even if they are broken, you won't lose anything." Xu Yongyi said.

The chili peppers are grown at home, and the tofu skin is made by the tofu workshop in the village. It only costs four cents to buy half a catty. The kelp is a little more expensive because it is shipped from other places. But it is not as expensive as meat.

The price is much better for half a catty. Moreover, Xu Yongyi sells the kelp at wholesale price, and the price is cheaper than what others buy.

The total sum of these things only cost more than ten cents. Compared with the cost of the snacks Xu Xi and Xu Xue ate in the county, it was a fraction of the price.

Since Xu Yongyi said this, Mr. Xie quickly got busy.

"You go and ask for chili peppers. I'll pick cucumbers and buy tofu skins on the way." Xu Yongyi said and went out to the tofu shop.

When he came back, he saw Xu Xi teaching Xie how to boil chili oil. Xu Xi was not very proficient in cooking, but she saw that her classmates from Sichuan Province used this chili oil to make cold dishes, and even

It's even more delicious than the cold dishes at the cold vegetable stalls outside.

Xu Xi was very fortunate that Xu Yongyi was a small shopkeeper, and he had a full range of spices in his load. She taught Mr. Xie to put them into the hot oil one by one, stirring constantly. After a while, a spicy smell came from the kitchen, which made her choke.

Xu Yongyi ran to the yard and sneezed twice loudly.

After boiling the chili oil, Xu Xue also cut the kelp and tofu skin into shreds and diced them and blanched them. The cucumbers were also cut into pieces and salted. Xu Xi dropped in the chili oil, then added salt, soy sauce, and aromatic incense.

Vinegar, sugar, green onions, ginger and other seasonings, she tasted them first, nodded, and said to the three people who looked at her with burning eyes: "Have a taste."

Xu Xue acted the fastest and had already prepared her chopsticks and hid them behind her back. Upon hearing Xu Xi's words, she quickly moved and put a piece of kelp into her mouth.

"Ah, it's delicious." Her eyes lit up, and while she was chewing, her chopsticks reached towards the tofu skin.

Xu Yongyi and Xie also tasted it.

The first thing Xie tasted was kelp, and she couldn't help but praise: "It's spicy and refreshing. Hey, this tastes good."

"This is good, this is good." Xu Yongyi ate cold cucumber.

Ever since cucumbers were introduced to Jin Dynasty, the Xu family has been planting them every year in spring and summer, and they have become impatient to eat them. But Xu Yongyi never thought that the cucumbers he had long been tired of eating would taste so good after being mixed with chili oil.
