Game World: Am I a toy of the system?

After dinner, Chen Xi and his grandfather prepared things for the next morning, then washed up and went to bed.

There were no entertainment activities in this era, and ordinary people, whether they were outside the city or inside the city, lived a life of working from sunrise to sunset.

At least Chen Xi knew how to read when he was a child, so he would take some time every day to review it, which made time pass faster.

In the early morning, when even the chickens were still asleep, Chen Xi climbed out of bed, washed his face with cold water to wake himself up, and then started to get busy with his grandfather who had also gotten up.

It was just dawning in the sky when the aroma wafting from the breakfast shop startled countless gluttons and woke up countless people.

The master and servant came very early today. Bai Xiaotao stood beside them and reported the news in a low voice: "Sir, the King of Chen called dozens of women of marriageable age from the branches to the palace to deal with the emperor's order. That's how Chen Xi was called."

Yao Jun raised a mocking smile, and a hoarse and tearing voice rang out: "It doesn't matter."

It was just a formality, and the emperor did not force him to marry a woman from the Chen Kingdom. Chen Muzhe was completely wasting his time.

Thinking of the news she got last night, Bai Xiaotao continued angrily, "Sir, Lord Chen already has a princess of the right age, Chen Yanxi, who is 18 years old this year."

"Chen Yanxi has been extremely intelligent since she was young, and she is also extremely beautiful. There are rumors in the capital that she is comparable to Yan Huan of ancient times. I don't know if she is bragging or it is true."

Comparable to Yan Huan? How daring!

Yao Jun's eyes dimmed, and a stunningly beautiful woman flashed through his mind. It was her in the red wedding dress, singing and dancing voluptuous songs. She was as gentle as water, but her heart was as hard as iron.

At this moment, the door of the breakfast shop opened. Chen Xi saw Yao Jun standing in the front at a glance. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "Six tables are allowed first, four people per table. You can share tables."

The food is fixed, which is steamed buns and stir-fried vegetables, so just go in, pay the money, and find an empty seat to sit down.

Yao Jun glanced at her with a cold expression, as if there was nothing unusual. He walked inside and found a place to sit down. The tables and chairs were very clean and did not need to be wiped again.

This was not the first time that the master and servant had come here. Bai Xiaotao paid the money and sat down next to the young master, waiting for dinner to be served.

The steamed buns were a little black, but very soft, and I didn't know how they did it. There were two kinds of stir-fried vegetables, and they had the aroma of animal fat. Yao Jun guessed that lard was used.

Bai Xiaotao murmured as she ate: "Master, originally this breakfast shop wasn't so popular, and the food was average. It's changed since Chen Xi got seriously ill a year ago."

"Some people say that this is the awakening of memories from her past life. Some say that she was enlightened by the gods. There are even rumors that she is possessed by ghosts."

Yao Jun remained calm and skillfully used chopsticks to pick up food and eat. Some of the other diners in the restaurant were able to use chopsticks skillfully, while some did not know how to use them and must have been here for the first time.

There were only a grandfather and his grandson in the store. Grandpa Chen was old and could only help take the steamed buns out of the steamer, then divide them into quantities and bring them to the store to serve the diners.

Chen Xi had to be much busier. He had to stir-fry vegetables, calculate the number of leftover steamed buns, and keep an eye on the cash box in the store. He was so busy that he couldn't handle everything.

Yao Jun and Bai Xiaotao ate very quickly. As they had been running around outside all year round, the master and servant were used to it. After they had soaked up all the soup in the bowl with their steamed buns, they got up and walked out.

Chen Xi walked into the store carrying some freshly stir-fried vegetables, and just in time saw the master and servant leaving. He stared at them blankly for a while before coming to his senses and continuing to work.

Oh, he looks like a noble person, but now she is just an unmarried woman of poor family, how could she dream of that.

Yao Jun walked out of the breakfast shop but did not leave. People were busy now and it was not the time to talk.

Standing on the roadside, Yao Jun looked at the busy shop. Every customer who finished their meal had a blush of fullness on his face and a happy smile.

Only when people live and work in peace and contentment and have enough food to eat will they have the leisure time to enjoy delicious food and beautiful scenery.

The customers who come to Chen Xi's breakfast shop all have some extra money in their hands. There are also many horse-drawn carriages parked in the distance, which shows that they are of high status.

Rubbing the texture of the hilt, Yao Jun waited until daybreak when there were no new customers outside the door before he walked towards the shop again, followed closely by Bai Xiaotao.

There were not many customers in the store at this time. Chen Xi was wiping the tables and chairs with a rag. Hearing footsteps coming from the door, he said without raising his head, "The breakfast is sold out."

Because Yao Jun's throat has not healed yet, Bai Xiaotao is responsible for negotiating some trivial matters now, which can also train her ability to work independently.

"Boss, we've just had dinner. Both the steamed buns and the stir-fried vegetables are delicious." Bai Xiaotao's smile is very healing and can easily bring people closer together. Coupled with her age and appearance, she is naturally easy to be liked by others.

But she encountered an exception today, no, it was the second exception. The first one was naturally Yao Jun who adopted her.

Chen Xi turned around and looked at the visitor with a somewhat cold expression. His eyes only moved around the tall Yao Jun, and then fell on Bai Xiaotao. "Thank you for the compliment. Our store will be closing soon. If you have finished eating, please leave."

Traveling around the world with Yao Jun for many years, Bai Xiaotao not only developed good kung fu, but also learned a lot of things, but the thing she developed best was her thick skin.

Bai Xiaotao was not annoyed when being driven away by her master. She smiled and took out a clean silk cloth from her bosom, wiped a bench clean, and invited the young master to sit down.

Then, in front of the host, he ran to the backyard to ask Grandpa Chen for a pot of hot water that he would use to set up the stall later, poured a bowl of it, brought it to the store and placed it in front of the young master.

Seeing how busy she was, Chen Xi wondered if she thought he was a guest. He was so angry that he wanted to chase her away, but when his eyes fell on the swords at their waists, he held back.

So, two uninvited guests appeared in the quiet little shop, and they were both shameless.

After all the diners left, Chen Xi and Grandpa cleaned up the store and set up a tea stall outside the door. Grandpa Chen then pulled Chen Xi aside to ask about the situation: "Xixi, what's going on with that master and servant?"

Chen Xi shook his head: "I don't know, you watch the stall by yourself for a while, I'll go in and ask."

Grandpa Chen: "It's still early now, there aren't many customers, so I'll stay with you."

Although Grandpa Chen's family background is ordinary, he is a branch of the king's family after all. He has seen many dignitaries during the four ancestral temple sacrifices every year, so he can naturally see that the master and servant are not simple.

So Chen Xi did not stop them. She felt that the two men were not bad people. She guessed in her heart that they were probably after the secret recipe of cooking.

Ever since the shop's business became good and the delicious food kept people coming back, many people thought she had some secret recipe that could turn stone into gold.

If you say there was, then it was true. In fact, I just used the oil I boiled myself when cooking. If you say there wasn't, then it's really true. I just had to pay attention to the heat.

When the grandfather and grandson entered the room, Chen Xi took the lead and sat down opposite Bai Xiaotao. She didn't want to face that veiled face. How could a beautiful woman be so pleasing to the eyes? Besides, it was this little beauty who had been talking to her.

Grandpa Chen first went to the backyard to brew a pot of tea and placed it on the table before sitting down.

After signaling his granddaughter to pour tea for the guests, Grandpa Chen looked at the tall man opposite and asked, "I wonder why you are staying in the store, sir?"

Yao Jun looked up at the grandfather and grandson, then continued to drink his tea without saying anything.
