Rebirth of the leisurely life in ancient times

Coming out of the kitchen and into the yard, she saw that some were still peeling burrs and some were cutting. She said, "Okay, everyone stop now! Go wash your hands. We can have dinner now."

When everyone heard her voice, they stopped what they were doing. Su Baiyu stood up and asked curiously, "What delicious food did Zixuan make? Did she put chestnuts in it?"

Xia Zixuan smiled and said, "There are dishes made with chestnuts that Brother Su is looking forward to. Go wash your hands! Aunt Xiuhong and the others have already started serving the dishes."

When Su Baiyu heard that the dishes could be served, he said excitedly, "Okay, Ayi, let's go wash our hands quickly! I can't wait to try the dishes made with chestnuts."

Mu Chenyi looked at Xia Zixuan with a doting look in his eyes, but he quickly hid it again and said softly, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Zixuan."

Xia Zixuan didn't notice anything wrong and smiled, "It's not hard, go ahead, Brother Mu!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Chenyi nodded and walked towards the bathroom.

After the two washed their hands, Xia Zixuan led them into the restaurant. Looking at the table full of food, Su Baiyu was shocked. He smelled the aroma of the food and said, "This is too fragrant! The aroma of this food cannot even be compared to the big restaurants in Beijing."

When Xia Zixuan heard him mention the capital, she had guessed that the two men must have come from the capital. Judging from their temperament, they were probably either rich or noble. However, as long as the two men did not hurt her, they could be friends.

(How could they possibly hurt you? One of them even wants to take you home! (●'?'●))

She chuckled and said, "Brother Su is exaggerating. How can these home-cooked dishes be compared with the chefs in Beijing?"

Then he looked at Mu Chenyi and said, "Brother Mu, come and sit down. Brother Su, sit down too. Try the food and see if it suits your taste."

"Well, okay, Zixuan, sit down too. You don't have to take care of us anymore!"

"Yes, yes, we can do it by ourselves, Zixuan doesn't need to worry about us."

"Okay, then just help yourself to whatever you want to eat."

"Mm, these chestnut spareribs are really delicious. The spareribs are cooked to be soft and boneless, and the chestnuts are soft, sticky and sweet. Mm, delicious, so delicious."

Su Baiyu took a bite of chestnut spareribs and instantly felt that the food he had eaten before was simply inedible compared to what he ate now.

"Well, this chestnut roast chicken is not bad. The chicken is tender and tasty, the chestnuts are dense and sweet, and the taste is very good." Mu Chenyi also praised it.

Xia Zixuan was happy to see them enjoying their meal. Who wouldn’t be happy to be praised for the food they cook?

The meal passed amid Su Baiyu's exclamations.

Su Baiyu sat on the sofa and glanced at Xia Zixuan, hesitating to speak, and finally said: "Zixuan, can I discuss something with you?"

Xia Zixuan wondered what they wanted to discuss?

But he still asked, "What does Brother Su want to discuss?"

Su Baiyu said a little embarrassedly: "Yes... it's like this, we didn't bring a cook with us this time, that is, can you come to Zixuan's place for dinner occasionally? Of course, we will pay for the meal."

Xia Zixuan glanced at the two of them and asked, "So what have you been eating since you came here?"

She was just a little curious. Wasn't there any grown men who could cook?

After saying it, Su Baiyu didn't feel embarrassed anymore. "We are just hunting and grilling meat! I have eaten it before, but after eating your food, I might starve to death. I can't eat barbecue anymore."

Xia Zixuan was speechless after hearing his words: "Have you ever thought about coming down the mountain and buying food from the villagers?"

The two looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing her words. It was like this? They really hadn't expected it.

Xia Zixuan knew from their expressions that they didn't expect this. "Okay, you can come over for dinner when you have time. You can eat whatever is at home, okay?" If not, then forget it.

Mu Chenyi looked at her expression, which seemed to indicate that if they said no, they would have nothing to eat.

Su Baiyu also saw it and said immediately: "Of course! Anyway, I don't want to eat barbecue."

Xia Zixuan thought of Yingyi and the others and asked, "Are Yingyi and the others eating here too?"

Ying San, a foodie, didn't care that their master was still here because he wanted to eat. He asked Xia Zixuan expectantly, "Miss Xia, can we really eat here?"

"Sure! As long as you are willing."

Ying Yi and Ying Er, who were guarding outside, were also overjoyed and came over to pay their respects. "Thank you, Miss Xia. We are willing to do this. If you have anything to do in the future, you can tell us to do it."

Mu Chenyi took out the banknotes he had on him, "Zixuan, this is three thousand taels of banknotes, you take it first, this is all I have on me for now, I'll ask Yingyi to bring more when we get back."

Xia Zixuan waved her hand, "Brother Mu, you don't need to pay for the banknotes. Just come and have dinner."

"Hey, Zixuan, just take it! We grown men eat a lot, so just consider it as grocery money."

Su Baiyu snatched the banknote from Mu Chenyi's hand and stuffed it into her hand.

"Okay then! You can come anytime." Xia Zixuan said without refusing.

After a few more words, Mu Chenyi stood up and said, "Zixuan, we're going back to the mountain today. We've been out for quite some time, and we have some things to deal with when we get back."
