Chapter 64
Chang Xi sighed regretfully, and didn't know how to persuade her aunt to think about it, her family's life was not easy, and every family had hard-to-recite scriptures.

At this moment, the three Changping brothers came back, they filled a jar with cicadas, and Wen Furong skillfully deep-fried them until golden on both sides.

Aunt Chang was stunned!

"Auntie, why don't you try it! It's really delicious!"

Ever since Chang Xi's foot injury healed, and with her mother's permission, she was finally able to eat chili peppers, so she began to eat chili peppers in retaliation.

Fried cicadas are wrapped in a thick layer of chili noodles and put in the mouth. The insects have lost their wings and legs, and they are chewy and crispy.

Aunt Chang swallowed, seeing how delicious their food was.

She considered herself a person who had seen a lot of the world, and she couldn't hold back the astonishing scene in front of her.

Wen Furong didn't want to persuade her, she was afraid that something might go wrong with her persuasion.

He also winked at his sons, telling them not to persuade them harshly, but to accept them as soon as they are good.Thinking that my aunt might not necessarily eat it, I took out all the remaining pears at home to entertain.

Aunt Chang doesn't want to be compared to a group of children, she can try if they dare to eat.

Picking up a cicada with fine salt attached, without chili pepper, I ate it into my mouth. Aunt Chang had a different experience every time she chewed it.

"Oh, this taste is amazing."

"It's delicious and crispy on the outside, and it looks like something has exploded inside, so it's moist!"

Taking a sip of one, she drank water and rinsed her mouth.

Watching A Pot Full of Fried Cicadas again, my mentality is different.

"What did you think of it?"

Chang Xi quickly pointed at his younger brother: "It's my younger brother who thinks it's noisy and wants to eat it, so I'll try to see if I can eat it!"

Aunt Chang took a bite and went home.

Because of the cicada worms, the children were not hungry, so they did not cook dinner.

Early in the morning and late at night are the coolest times, the scorching sun of the day ends, and the gentle breeze blows at dusk.

Chang Xi and the younger brother ran out to catch the cicada, because seeing how much Aunt Chang could eat, she wanted to give it to Granny Zhao and Wang Chunyan's family.

Under the willow tree, Chang Le kicked the tree trunk with big feet. Chang Xi waited for them to fall, and was squatting to pick them up, when a voice came from behind.

"Two children, how can I get to Chang Sanshi's house?"

The two turned their heads together, and Chang Xi saw a well-groomed middle-aged man in brocade clothes with meticulous hair.

Noticing his thumb and wearing a jade ring, Chang Xi thought of him from his attire to Chang Dacheng who runs a dumpling shop in the town.

I don't know where Chang Sanshi's family lives, and I can call him by his first name. Could it be that he is also the shopkeeper?
Without letting Chang Xi speculate, the middle-aged man saw the two children silently looking at him, so he took the initiative to report his family name.

"My humble servant is the shopkeeper of Manxianglou, and Chang Sanshi is the chef's apprentice of our restaurant. I have something to say when I go to his house."

Chang Le naturally turned his attention to the third sister. His third sister is amazing. Chang Le waited for what the third sister said.

Chang Xi stood up and smiled slightly: "Hello, Uncle Shopkeeper, Chang Sanshi is my father. My name is Chang Xi, and I am my father's third daughter. This is my younger brother, Chang Le."

"Oh, I asked the right person!" The shopkeeper clapped his hands and laughed happily, and he had a good impression of the eloquent little girl.

"Please invite the shopkeeper uncle to my house for a cup of tea." Chang Xi took the initiative to invite and lead the way.

Chang Le obediently picked up the cicada bucket, and happily followed behind.

Wen Furong knew the shopkeeper's habits, so she wiped the clean bench again in front of her face before asking the shopkeeper to sit down.

Chang Xi has already brought the tea bowl. Although the tea is crude tea made by local methods, the living standard of their family has improved a lot compared to before.

The shopkeeper took it, looked at the tea, and put it on the table without drinking it. He looked around and felt that the earthen house was a bit dilapidated, but fortunately, it was warm and homely.

Wen Furong was not sure about the shopkeeper's sudden visit, she really wanted to ask, but the shopkeeper smiled at the children.

"Brother Sanshi is blessed. There are so many lovely children. Wen Shi, you are a hardworking person, and your house is well organized. It's a pity that you can't continue to work in the restaurant."

Wen Furong can get the affirmation of the shopkeeper, a pity is the best affirmation of her work ability, Chang Xi knows her mother is worth it.

Wen Furong smiled shyly when she heard the words: "I can't help it, the child is too young to leave me."

"That's true." The shopkeeper's gaze paid special attention to Chang Xi.

The matter of Chang Xi helping his younger brother Goukou to snatch food has now become a good story, and it is sung in Manxianglou.

When I saw her in the village today, I really loved him.

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper finally said what he wanted by the way.

"Brother Sanshi has already agreed to teach us the crisp whistle method. In exchange, the restaurant will give him a single room to live in. As long as he works in the restaurant for a day, he can live for free for one day."

"Wen Shi, you know the restaurant well. The single room promised to him is next to Chef Wang. In the future, your family will have a place to stay in the town."

When Wen Furong heard this, she couldn't help but beam with joy.

"Usually, there are only chefs who are in charge of cooking in Manxianglou, and they can enjoy the treatment of living in a single room. Sanshi is only an apprentice. Thank you for your hospitality."

"Hey, it's not our kindness! Brother Sanshi gave birth to a good daughter!" Chang Sanshi was too honest, so the shopkeeper naturally knew about these things, and it was Chang Xi who came up with the idea.

Receiving the shopkeeper's gaze, Chang Xi knew that they, Manxianglou, were making a fuss about their little abacus.

If his father left Manxianglou, he would not have a single room, and giving such a condition would be equivalent to tying the employee to the restaurant.

It's not unwise to do this, and of course it takes people who the restaurant thinks are valuable to treat them so painstakingly.

Chang Xi understood everything, and only responded with a slight smile.

Instead, the shopkeeper was stunned by the smile.

The little girl's face hasn't opened yet, she is more brilliant than flowers when she casually smiles, did Chang Sanshi burn incense in her previous life?
How could his daughter be so smart and beautiful? He really wanted to have such a daughter who would save his father's face!
There was an inexplicable sourness in the shopkeeper's heart, but fortunately, he was able to maintain it on the surface, only after being in a daze for a while, before everyone responded, he immediately returned to normal.

"I'm here in person, and I have another thing to say."

"Brother Sanshi inadvertently mentioned the delicacy of cicadas, but you know that Stone Town is not as good as the countryside, and there are fewer cicadas, so my idea is to harvest some cicadas in Taihang Village and make them into seasonal appetizers. "

Obviously, if the shopkeeper said so, he must have tasted the delicacy of Cicada in advance, so he would take the trouble to make a trip.

The shopkeeper wanted to come to Manxianglou to discuss business and purchase goods, and Wen Furong finally understood why the shopkeeper came here.

Wen Furong smiled slightly: "Shopkeeper, please explain in detail."

"Well, I plan to collect cicadas in Taihang Village until the autumn harvest. There must be a lot of cicadas per serving."

"You can mobilize familiar relatives and friends to help catch it together. It is best to have the wings and calves removed when it is delivered, which can save a lot of man-hours."

The intention of the shopkeeper is to facilitate their secondary processing and speed up the speed of serving dishes, Chang Xi understood it all at once.
