Chen Xi held a teacup and chatted with Gu Lao for a while.
The old man seemed to have suddenly thought of something and quickly pulled him out of the main hall.
"It's getting late, let's go, it's time to cook …"
Looking at his anxious look, it seemed that he really didn't want Chen Xi to stay here any longer.
Seeing this, Chen Xi just smiled and didn't say anything.
However, when he followed Gu Lao out of the central room and went to the kitchen, Chen Xi suddenly stopped next to the large water tank in the yard, and then began to carefully look at the water tank in front of him.
This kind of water tank was very common in Shangjing siheyuan, which was the big water tank in Sima Guang's story of smashing a tank.
The large water tank in the yard, in addition to the role of water and fire prevention, was mainly for auspiciousness. The large tank was filled with water, and water made money, which meant that the family could prosper and accumulate wealth.
These were old customs, and generally, only old people like Gu Lao would have this kind of thing in their house.
Chen Xi stood by the water tank for a while, and no one knew what he was looking at.
Seeing that he didn't move, Gu Lao stood at the kitchen door and couldn't help but urge him again.
"Little Chen? What are you doing? It's already four o 'clock, let's start quickly … "
"Okay, I'm coming."
After hearing Gu Lao's urging, Chen Xi had to respond with a smile, and then followed Gu Lao into the kitchen.
Since he wanted to taste Gu Lao's cooking, Gu Lao naturally had to cook dinner, and Chen Xi would help him prepare the dishes.
Gu Lao took care of a child alone, so his cooking skills naturally wouldn't be bad. In addition, he only made some common home-cooked dishes today, so it didn't take long for a table full of dishes to fill up.
Because he wanted to bring all these dishes to the teahouse, Gu Lao specially found a scooter for moving goods, put all the plates and chopsticks on the scooter, and was ready to drag the scooter to the teahouse.
Now that it was summer, the time for the sun to set was naturally much later than before.
Therefore, when Chen Xi dragged the scooter out of Gu Lao's house, it was only a little over five o 'clock, and the bright sun was still hanging in the sky with no signs of setting.
Maybe because nothing went wrong, after Gu Lao locked the door, the expression on his face became a lot more relaxed.
It was obviously her own home, but she made it seem like she was in a haunted house. Even cooking a meal was frightening to her …
So, Chen Xi smiled and joked, "You see, I'm fine, right?"
"Gu Yao is not an evil person with grievances. Why would she turn into an evil spirit and demand lives?"
"If she had a soul in heaven, I think she would only protect you and your child. So, you can rest assured …"
After hearing Chen Xi's words, Gu Lao's face suddenly showed an expression of sudden realization.
"That's right, Yao Yao is such a kind person, how could she become a malicious spirit? I was being foolish … "
After figuring this out, Gu Lao's mood suddenly improved a lot.
"How about this, I'll invite your family of three to have a good meal at my house tomorrow, as a thank you for taking care of the two of them. What do you think?"
"Okay, as long as you don't need to be a cook, I'm all for it."
The two dragged the scooter, happily chatting as they walked back.
Since the house began to be haunted, Gu Lao had not let anyone enter the house. This time, Chen Xi jumped back and forth, and the old man could finally put down the big stone in his heart.
…
Chen Xi and Gu Lao dragged the scooter back to the teahouse.
As soon as the door of the teahouse was pushed open, the three little ones rushed out of the children's playground.
"Papa! What are we eating today? "The little one asked Chen Xi with a shy face.
Looking at the little one's cute greedy face, Chen Xi couldn't help but reach out and pinch her little face, and then opened the food cover on the scooter.
"Grandpa made you a Beijing dish, do you like it?"
"I like it! Grandpa's food is delicious! "
Before the little fellow could answer, the two brothers came over and chimed in.
Then, the older brother came to the little one's side and said proudly, "Sister, let me tell you what this dish is!"
After that, he pointed to the dishes on the scooter and wanted to tell the name of the dish.
But at this time, the little one suddenly stood in front of him, and then said very proudly, "You don't need to tell me! I know what this dish is! "
"This is Beijing sauce shredded pork!"
"This is crystal pork knuckle!"
"And this is Ma Lian meat!"
"This … this is Fugui chicken!"
Chen Xi's culinary skills were superb. Every day, she would cook different dishes for her. It could be said that this little thing had eaten all over the world, so a few classic Jingbang dishes were naturally not difficult for her.
Maybe it was because he had overdone it today, so while the older brother and the little one were still thinking about the name of the dish, the younger brother was standing next to them, constantly swallowing saliva.
Seeing this, Chen Xi pinched the little one's little face, and then pushed the scooter into the teahouse.
"Well, you must be hungry. You go wash your hands first, and then we'll eat!"
"Okay! Wash my hands! I'll wash my hands first, then I'll eat first! You can't eat if you don't wash your hands! "
The little one reacted the fastest. As soon as she heard Chen Xi say that she wanted to wash her hands, she turned around and ran to the kitchen.
After seeing her movements, the two brothers immediately followed, and at the same time, they kept shouting, "I'll wash my hands first! I'll eat first! "
Looking at the three lively and cute children, Gu Lao was laughing so hard that he could not close his mouth.
Even Qin Ruoying could not help but shake her head with a smile, and then she asked them to run slower so that they would not fall.
For a moment, this small teahouse was filled with laughter and cheers.
It was not the first time that the three little ones had eaten together, but when they were eating, they were competing in different ways.
Who could use chopsticks better …
Who could eat more dishes …
Who couldn't eat rice …
Perhaps this was the advantage of having children together. Everything had to be compared, and under the intentional guidance of the parents, it became a healthy competition, which made them more obedient.
While the three little guys were stuffing themselves with food, three A6's with Beijing plates suddenly stopped at the entrance of the teahouse.
Then, many people got out of the three cars.
Among these people, there were men and women, and they dressed in completely different styles.
Some of them were wearing loose sportswear, while others were wearing well-tailored suits. When they stood together, they didn't seem to match at all.
Qiao Yuan was the head shopkeeper of the teahouse, so she naturally knew how the teahouse's business was. So when she saw so many people coming to the teahouse, she could not help but frown, and whispered to Chen Xi, "Boss, these people … don't seem to be here to drink tea."
Chen Xi was busy wiping the oil stains on the little one's mouth.
After hearing Qiao Yuan's words, he said without raising his head, "It's okay, there are a few acquaintances."
As if to prove Chen Xi's words.
As soon as he finished speaking, a man in sportswear came to the door of the teahouse, and then very politely knocked on the door.
"Hello, Mr. Chen."
Hearing this, Chen Xi finally raised his head.
After glancing at the people outside the teahouse, the corners of his mouth curled up into a faint smile.
Where was this place?
This was Houhai!
Under the Emperor's Feet!
Houhai was only a street away from Zhongnanhai, and Zhongnanhai was where Hua Xia's luck was. The dragon vein of a country gathered here, so how could it be a place to breed evil spirits?
Even if it was haunted, it had to be in a different place.
No wonder Gu Yao's ghost did not dissipate …
So …
