Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

Qingshi Town, Xing'an Street.

Walking on the street, Lu You looked left and right, almost dazzled.

"Second sister, what's wrong?"

Seeing Lu You like this, Lu Yi next to Lu Yi asked.

"Not much..." Lu You said excitedly: "This is my first time here. I never knew that there was such a prosperous area in Qingshi Town."

When these words came out, Lu You was slightly stunned.

Because she realized that when she said this, she was thinking of herself as the original body, and there was no information about this street in the original body's memory.

But she forgot that Lu Yi already knew that she was not his original second sister.

As a 'newcomer', she said that she had no original memories, which inevitably made Lu Yi think too much.

Sure enough, when Lu Yi heard this, he lowered his head slightly.

But just when Lu You didn't know what to say to ease the embarrassment, Lu Yi raised his head again.

"This is the market of Qingshi Town. The whole street is full of restaurants, inns, teahouses and other businesses."

"Not only that, there are also casinos and brothels here. The people who come and go are a mixed bunch, most of whom are greedy for money, sex, and pleasure."

"You are not in good health, and you have not been to the city with your father very often. And you are a girl, so it is normal that he has never brought you here!"

Seeing that Lu Yi took the initiative to change the subject, Lu You breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hmm!" Lu You hummed and said, "How far is Uncle Zhao's Shuxiang Restaurant?"

"It's not far away, right in the middle of the city!"

Lu Yi said calmly, then looked down at the bamboo basket in Lu You's hand.

"Second sister, are you sure Aunt Liu will agree with your plan?"

Lu You remained silent for a moment after hearing this.

"To be honest, I'm not sure."

"Father and Uncle Zhao were classmates and good friends, but because our two families were very different in background, we rarely visited each other on weekdays and didn't have many favors with each other."

"Uncle Zhao spent three taels of silver on his condolences to my father a few days ago, which was considered to be the utmost kindness and righteousness."

"As a rule of thumb, people should be content. We shouldn't disturb Uncle Zhao before we have enough money to pay him back."

“But if you really go to the market and set up a stall, making money is really too slow.”

"So, you have to come!"

"But Aunt Liu doesn't like us." Lu Yi said, "My father and I have been to Shuxiang Restaurant several times before, and every time Aunt Liu looked at us coldly, with a look of displeasure on her face..."

Before Lu Yi finished speaking, Lu You next to him stopped.

"Why are you and father going to the restaurant?"

"Eat." Lu Yi replied calmly.

"Then will you give me silver?"

"Every time my father and I come to the restaurant, we are forced to come by Uncle Zhao. He is the host, so of course it doesn't cost any money."

"Not only does it not cost any money, Uncle Zhao will also let you and father bring a lot of food home, right?" Looking at Lu Yi, Lu You asked with a smile.

Lu Yi nodded.

"So in Aunt Liu's eyes, our family is no different from those poor relatives who are begging for money."

"My family has always been taking advantage of Uncle Zhao's family. Isn't it normal that Aunt Liu doesn't like us?"

Having said that, Lu You sighed softly.

"If you and father had come here to eat for free before, Aunt Liu would have looked down upon you."

"Then I dare to conclude that when we enter this time, we will be met with overwhelming ridicule and squeeze..."

"Why?" Lu Yi asked puzzledly.

"Because three taels of silver is a huge sum of money no matter who it is!" Lu You said as a matter of course.

"But we will pay it back..."

"Aunt Liu doesn't know!"

Following Lu You's words, Lu Yi lowered his head in silence again.

Seeing the two clenched fists, Lu You reached out and patted Lu Yi on the shoulder.

"Xiao Yi, if you can't stand Aunt Liu's sarcasm and ridicule, wait outside for a while, and I will go in and talk to her."

"You have to go in..." Lu Yi whispered, "This house is yours and mine. I can't let you handle everything alone..."

Hearing Lu Yi's words, Lu You nodded slightly.

"Okay, if you have this responsibility, my second sister will be satisfied!"

"Just follow me when you go in. You don't need to say anything. Today, I will show you the true meaning of life."

"I'll show you what it means to have hard money and hard shit to eat!"

Hearing the system prompt sound, Lu You turned around to look.

"Xiaoyi, what do you think of what my second sister said just now?"

"It's unbearable to hear..."

Lu Yi said calmly, and walked straight past Lu You and headed forward...

Shuxiang Restaurant.

It was only the hour of Si at this time, and although there were already many people walking on the street, the restaurant business had just opened.

In the restaurant lobby, apart from the counter and the stairs on the side, there were only six wooden tables. A waiter in gray cloth was wiping them vigorously with a rag.

Footsteps were heard on the stairs, and a woman with a bun in a tan dress walked down from the second floor.

"Xiaodouzi! Don't forget the private room upstairs!"

"Clean every corner. This is for you gentlemen. If there is dust or oil on the clothes of the guests, it will be easy for you to pay money and apologize."

"But if you offend the shopkeeper, I won't forgive you!"

Hearing the woman's words, the guy quickly put down the rag and agreed.

"Don't worry, Madam Boss, I will wipe it several times to ensure that not a speck of dust will be left behind."

The woman didn't say anything when she heard this, but walked to the counter, reached out and wiped the tabletop, and then smiled with satisfaction when she saw that there was not much dust.

"Once you're done cleaning up, go to the kitchen and help prepare the food. I'll call you when customers arrive."

"okay!"

The waiter responded with a smile, but the woman had already walked to the counter, took out the account book and started counting the beads on the abacus.

Not long after, the boy finished cleaning the first floor and was about to bring water upstairs when he saw two figures walking towards the house.

"Please come in, gentlemen!"

Seeing a customer coming, the waiter quickly put down the basin and greeted him.

Liu, who was counting the bills, heard the waiter calling and quickly put on a smile and looked towards the door.

But when he saw the person clearly, he was slightly stunned and his face suddenly turned cold.

"Oh... I was wondering who was so rich that he was willing to pay for a meal in a restaurant so early in the morning!"

"It turns out to be the young master and young lady of the Lu family!"

As she spoke, Liu closed the account book, walked out of the counter, and waved gently to the clerk.

"Go and do your own thing. I'll take care of these two distinguished guests myself."

The boy receives and sees off guests every day, and what he is doing is practicing his ability to read people's expressions.

The proprietress had already explained it so clearly at this point, so he dared not delay any longer. He hurriedly took the basin of water and ran straight to the second floor, away from this place of trouble.
