Chapter 62 The second brother practices martial arts
Li Dashan and Li Yuan never expected that they would go out for an hour to look around, and when they came back, they would hear their second son say that he wanted to practice martial arts.

"Are you still going to school?" Li Dashan asked.

"Yes," Li Qingbai replied, "but next year I want to devote myself to practicing martial arts." This is what he had thought about for a long time before his parents came back.

"Then we will invite the teaching master to come to the house next year?" Li Dashan asked. This was not a question to Li Qingbai, but to everyone in the family.

"Uh, I haven't thought about this yet..." Li Qingbai was a little embarrassed. The incident happened so suddenly that he really hadn't thought about it carefully.

"Mom, dad, how about renting a house in the town or buying a house?" Li Xiao suggested in a low voice.

"Usually, my brothers go back after class. This also makes it easier for my second brother to practice martial arts."

Living in the school is not allowed to come in and out at will, and outsiders are not allowed to enter at will, so the second brother's martial arts practice will be a problem.

"What about eating?" Li Yuan was worried.

"Brothers can actually cook themselves, or you can buy some from stalls outside," Li Xiao said.

"Actually, Xiaoxiao is more inclined to ask an aunt to help cook three meals a day. Besides, the third brother will also have to go to school next year!" Li Xiao said.

Li Dashan and Li Yuanduo could accept renting a house after thinking about it, but hiring someone to cook was not a wealthy family, so hiring a servant was nothing.

"I can cook!" Li Qingbai said hurriedly when he saw his parents hesitate.

"When I get up early in the morning, I can make porridge and buy steamed buns, and I can also get up early to walk."

"Lunch time is short, so I may need to eat at a stall outside, but I can also make dinner." Li Qingbai said.

He was still very interested in renting a house in the town, so that he could practice martial arts more conveniently, but he was worried that his parents would not worry about him and his eldest brother having enough food to eat, so they refused to rent a house.

When Li Yuan heard that his son was so excited, he didn't know what the child was thinking. He was afraid that he was really determined to practice martial arts.Forget it, a cow can’t hold its head down even if it doesn’t drink water.If your child's mind is not on studying, you can't force him, right?It is a good thing to know the truth.

She looked at her husband and made a slight gesture. Li Yuan said softly: "After lunch, let's go to the town to inquire about the situation of the house."

"If it's suitable, then rent a house. As for three meals a day," Li Yuan paused, glanced at her husband, and then continued: "I will stay with you for a few days, and I will come back when I find the aunt. .”

The matter is basically settled, but the details will depend on the situation in the afternoon.

After lunch, the family got on the bullock cart and headed to the city.

According to Li Xiao's suggestion, the family went to Jixiang Restaurant first and brought over a pound of pepper and some dried white fungus left at home.

The pepper was dried in the sun, and shopkeeper Liu priced it at 210 taels per catty.

As for the white fungus, after weighing the pepper, Li Dashan followed his daughter's instructions and asked shopkeeper Liu about renting a house and having a cook.

Not to mention, shopkeeper Liu is in the restaurant business and has a lot of contacts and information. There is really a suitable person for this question!

It's not far from the school, a quarter of an hour away, but the place is small. As soon as you enter the courtyard, there are only four small rooms except the main room and kitchen.

As for the cooking lady, shopkeeper Liu told Li Dashan that if he didn’t plan to go to the tooth shop to buy it, he had someone to recommend: the wife of the chef of his restaurant!
There are rooms reserved for workers in the backyard of the restaurant. Those who need it can pay to stay.

The chef I just mentioned is named Fu. He is over 40. He comes from the north. He and his wife are the only ones at home.

Now they both live in the backyard, and his wife usually helps with chores in the kitchen, but it is said that her cooking skills are still good.
