Stealing a glance, hey, stealing another glance.
"Alright, alright, I know you little gluttons want to eat. Go ask Master for a break, and I'll take you to get something delicious." The timing was perfect since it wasn't Master's class time, and mealtime was approaching.
"Go on, just tell Master, and after eating, hurry back so you won't miss class. You too, Fatty."
"Okay, okay, let's go!" The Fatty was even more eager than Liu Qingyan, bouncing off to ask Master for leave.
Master Zhu looked at the two Kids, both outstanding among this group of children, especially Liu Qingyan, who was smart and clever. The key was that she studied diligently and earnestly.
When a person possesses both a sharp mind and a hardworking attitude without being arrogant or impatient, they will surely go far.
"Go on, go on!" Master Zhu said with a smile.
He wasn't an unreasonable old fossil; Liu Qingyan wasn't from the town, and it took her more time to visit home. He wanted the boarding students to have a better learning experience.
After dinner, there would be half an hour of interaction arranged, where everyone could discuss their views on the knowledge taught in class and express their opinions.
How could he refuse Liu Qingxi's tears and request to go out for a meal?
"Thank you, Master!" The two Kids held hands and bounced away.
The remaining children watched them leave with jealous eyes.
Master shook his head and smiled; children were indeed children. They were serious in class but revealed their true nature when they saw family.
After a while, Liu Qingxi, along with the two kids and the couple Zhang Wuliang, arrived at a modest restaurant. Compared to the nearby Yang's Tavern and Wanjia Restaurant, it was quite unremarkable.
However, unlike the sparse customers at Wanjia Restaurant and the empty Yang's Tavern, this place was bustling with activity.
"Qingxi, this is" Liu feeling inexplicably nervous.
So many people, and looking at such a large restaurant, they had never been here before: "This place must be expensive!"
The food in town is quite pricey; a single meal could easily consume a year's savings.
Liu was unwilling to enter. With so many people, and the two of them being adults and elders, it wouldn't be right to let the children pay, would it?
But the problem was that the cost was truly beyond their means.
However, suggesting to switch to a cheaper place seemed too rude.
"Village Chief, Aunt, you don’t need to worry. The Boss here is my friend; he’ll only charge us cost. Come on, come on, you’re accompanying me this time; I should at least take care of the meal, right?"
"That won't do. We came to town to buy things, not just to accompany you."
"Alright, alright, Aunt, what kind of relationship do we have? Why are you counting every little thing with me? If you keep this up, I’ll get angry!"
In the end, unable to resist Liu Qingxi's temper, the two finally followed her inside.
This restaurant was none other than the one invested in by Yang Yichen, where Liu Qingxi had previously provided the hot pot recipe.
It was no longer called Warm Winter Hot Pot Restaurant because the hot pot had passed its peak popularity during winter and was now gradually fading. This Season was more suited for refreshing and delicious dishes.
The newly hired chef was truly unique and distinctive; customers did not leave just because the hot pot was removed; in fact, they preferred their new style even more.
The corresponding name evoked a sense of coolness amidst the impending hot summer.
Just mentioning this name could instantly lift one's spirits.
"Liu" entered the restaurant, but "Liu" still felt uneasy; after all, this was the town's inn.
Usually, when they came to "Biqi Town," they would only eat a bowl of the cheapest noodles. Facing such a grand meal, their hearts trembled with anticipation.
However, what surprised them even more was yet to come. A person resembling a shopkeeper hurried over and greeted "Liu Qingxi" with a broad smile.
" Miss Liu, when did you arrive? Why didn't you let me know? I could have come to pick you up!"
"Huh?" "Liu" widened her eyes. Was it possible for the shopkeeper to have such a good attitude towards them?
Yet "Liu Qingxi" continued to surprise them; even the big shopkeeper was so familiar with her.
"No need to trouble yourself, Li, the Innkeeper. I'm just here for a meal; you can just bring me a couple of dishes!" "Liu Qingxi" replied with a smile.
After all, the shopkeeper's good attitude was due to "Yang Yichen." Otherwise, who would recognize her or give her special treatment?
"Just wait a moment; I'll have the kitchen prepare it right away. By the way, you should eat in the private room; don't stay out here!" "Li, the Innkeeper" personally led them to another separate room.
Compared to the chaos in the main hall, it was much quieter here.
"Liu Qingyan" sat properly on a stool, but her eager gaze couldn't be hidden from "Liu Qingxi," who had lived with her for a long time.
As for the chubby boy? He was like an overly energetic kid, fidgeting restlessly on his stool.
"Sister Qingxi, when will we eat? When will the dishes be served?" He couldn't wait any longer.
Although the food at school was decent, it was always just a couple of dishes, and they had grown tired of it long ago.
As for the chubby boy's family? They spoiled him immensely, but no matter when he ate, he always had a good appetite. For example, even if his family owned an inn and served rich meals every day, he would never get tired of it.
So this large chunk of flesh on me didn't grow for nothing.
Accompanied by the chubby man's muttering, a loud voice came from outside: "Our signature dish is here!"
It was Li, the Innkeeper, personally bringing it in: " Miss Liu, take your time. If you need more, just let us know, and we'll prepare it." His tone carried a hint of respect.
There was no way around it; originally, A Dong was the one serving as the Boss, but after things stabilized, A Dong gradually stepped back and handed everything over to Li, the Innkeeper, the middle-aged man in front of them.
He later learned that Liu Qingxi accounted for thirty percent of the profits in this establishment.
In other words, Liu Qingxi was the second Boss, so he naturally had to be respectful.
While being a shopkeeper for someone else would also work, the treatment wouldn't be as good as here. Plus, he had his own space to express himself without worrying about bold ideas being outright rejected.
He really enjoyed his current job. Moreover, Liu Qingxi had never treated him as a servant during her visits; instead, they maintained an equal relationship, which made him even more grateful.
Liu Qingxi had no idea that her casual gesture of support had won over someone's heart.
"Li, the Innkeeper, you go ahead and get busy. Sorry for bothering you; if we need anything, we'll let you know directly."
Once the others left, Liu Qingxi waved her hand in front of the stunned couple, Zhang Wuliang and his wife.
