The school has a day off for rest every seven days. It is mainly for the students to go home and sort out what they have learned for a period of time, and also for the master to rest.
Bai Yan and Bai Yuankai had the happiest time every time they took a bath in the school. If they could smell the smell of meat when they got home, it would be like a holiday.
When I was in a tight situation in the past, my eldest brother would always save the money and buy some oil residue or some pig meat every time he took a bath, so that Bai Yan and Bai Yuankai could get some oil and meat.
Later, life gradually improved, and my eldest brother always prepared some meat dishes for me when I took a bath. Whether it’s minced meat leftovers or serious meat bones, it’s a delicious meal that comes with a meal.
The kids are sensible and simple at the same time. There are people who care and take care of you, so you are not alone, and many sad past events can be quickly hidden by yourself.
This is how the Bai family slowly rebounded from the natural disaster of losing an adult day by day.
I just got home, and the pots and stoves were cold. Not to mention the delicious food I expected, there wasn't even a mouthful of hot soup. Although the two children were disappointed, they were not dissatisfied. They even started to wash rice and cook on their own, thinking that the eldest brother was too busy today and had no time to do it. The two siblings did the same thing. Anyway, there are some leftovers from last night. Just heat them up today and cook something to fill your stomach.
Speaking of food, since the eldest brother became a waist knife, the two siblings have not been in need much now. Now they are just greedy.
Bailang walked in front and back, and saw that the two younger ones were already busy with work, so he quickly called them over.
"Stop it, I'll take you to a restaurant today."
"Huh? Eat in a restaurant?!"
The two children were immediately stunned. Going into a restaurant is extremely unfamiliar to them. Even when their parents were still alive, their family was not wealthy enough to go into a restaurant. And it’s much more cost-effective to buy it at a restaurant for the same amount of money and cook it yourself at home. It just doesn't taste as good as the chef in the restaurant.
The siblings surprisingly agreed on this matter. Even the greedy Bai Yuankai shook his head and said that it would be better to buy it and cook it himself. After eating in a restaurant, the family can have several meals of meat and vegetables in a row.
"Stop talking nonsense. Do you think that my eldest brother is still a wealthy man and can't even afford a restaurant? Don't worry, you don't have to worry about your family from now on. Just tell me what you want to eat or buy. Let's go!"
Bai Lang patted his brother and sister's heads, and pulled the two of them out of the townhouse without any explanation.
"Brother, it turns out to be this restaurant! The glutinous rice chicken here is the most famous!" Bai Yuankai suddenly became excited when he saw his elder brother leading him and his sister into a restaurant near the school.
"Brother, you don't know, Maotou and I pass by here every day on our way to and from school. The one that makes the most noise is the glutinous rice chicken here. Maotou also said that when he grows up, he will bring his eldest brother here to eat glutinous rice. Chicken."
It was the first time for the two little ones to enter a place like a restaurant. He carefully pulled Bailang's clothes, excited with curiosity and embarrassment, a typical child of the Kuhaha family.
There is no way to change this all at once. You can only improve your life, and then read more and slowly build up your confidence and self-understanding. As time goes by, things will naturally change.
"Don't worry, if you want to eat later, big brother will bring you here." How could Bailang not know that his younger brother has been coveting the glutinous rice chicken here for a long time? He heard people talking in their sleep no less than five times in the room. Otherwise, would you choose here?
"Bai Zhentang, are you here? According to you, the dishes at the window seat are ready." The shopkeeper was very attentive and personally led the way. Even though the two children around Bailang looked timid, in his eyes at this time, they were "well-behaved" and "cute". Can the children of the Bai Zhentang family not be well-behaved and cute?
"Yes. I'm glad the shopkeeper is here."
"Hehe, I see what you said. It's our honor to have you come to the store. You can eat and drink. Please take this order from the store today..."
Before the shopkeeper could finish his words, he was interrupted by Bai Lang raising his hand. Said: "No, it's just a meal, no need for the shopkeeper's expense."
The restaurant owner wanted to say something more, but in the end, he looked at the smile on Bai Lang's face and his plain but unsmiling eyes, and subconsciously touched his ears, and immediately did not dare to talk nonsense anymore.
The three brothers and sisters sat down, with three meat dishes, three vegetarian dishes, a soup, and a pot of wine on the table. The big plate in the middle is the glutinous rice chicken that Bai Yuankai has longed for. The chicken is charred and fragrant, and the glutinous rice is steamed again. After shaping, the two stick together, then sliced and oiled again, and finally the dish is completed. The process is not something that ordinary people can make at home, and the technique seems simple but pays great attention to the heat. Although it was Bai Lang's first time to eat in this restaurant, the glutinous rice chicken here was indeed somewhat famous.
"Brother, can I drink?"
"Yes, but only after you are fifteen years old."
"ah?"
"Ah what? Hurry up and eat. After eating, I will take you to a place to look around." Bai Lang pretended to be smiling while picking up vegetables for his younger brothers and sisters.
After hearing this, the two children were also full of curiosity, but the large table of delicious-smelling dishes in front of them was really too tempting. They thought it would be a no-brainer, they would figure it out later, so they began to concentrate on the food in front of them.
Bailang didn't eat much. It wasn't that he was holding back, but that he found that since he became a Qi Refiner, his food intake had slowly begun to decrease. Now it is at least almost 20% less than before. And he can be sure that it will continue to decrease in the future. But he didn't lose weight. It seemed that the spiritual energy he absorbed compensated for Bailang's energy consumption that should have been obtained through eating.
This reminded Bai Lang of the legend that Qi practitioners often mentioned that they could practice in seclusion for months or even years. Bailang didn't believe it before, but now it seems that it can't be faked.
With six dishes, the three siblings should have not wasted a mouthful of vegetable soup. The two little ones were a little full after eating. After leaving the restaurant, I walked slowly for almost a meal and arrived at the alley not far behind the Meng Academy where the siblings went to school. Finally, I stopped in front of the courtyard gate of a building that smelled of new paint. .
"Brother, whose house are we going to?" The first reaction of the siblings was that their eldest brother was taking them to visit someone. I was suddenly curious and a little nervous. After all, they don't even have any relatives in Yongchuan City. It should be to meet a friend of the eldest brother, right? Are you also from the knife shop?
"But brother, this is all locked, no one is home!"
The siblings never expected that Bai Lang would say such a thing.
"Visit? Silly! This is our new home!" After saying that, Bailang took out the key and poked the door lock, pushed the door open and walked in amidst the surprised and disbelieving expressions of his sister and brother.
"Why are you still standing there? Aren't you going to take a look at your new rooms? I specially asked someone to make a bunk bed. It's very soft." Bai Lang smiled and greeted the two young people standing outside the door.
"Wow!" The two children came to their senses and rushed into the yard.
That night, the three brothers and sisters of the Bai family said goodbye to their townhouse in Dongshi.
