Chapter 30: Privileges

As the three chatted, they began to walk down the street leading to the city. As they passed through the foot of the mountain, a thin body with a small bag was seen walking in front of them from afar.

With sharp eyes, little Shitou recognized the person in the distance, "Second brother, the person in front of us looks like Brother Qian Wen. He must have returned to the city because his rest has ended."

"Brother Qian Wen-Sister Qian Wen-" Without waiting for her sister's response, the little boy had already cupped his mouth with his small hands and shouted.

The figure stopped in its tracks and turned to look at them.

As they gradually walked over, Yu Xiaocao could see the boy's face more clearly. She has bright skin and smooth facial features. With manners and manners, he was a handsome young man with white and clean skin.

"Sister Zhao, little Shitou.... Is this your second brother?" Qian Wen's lips curved slightly as she curiously looked at the young girl with pale skin and big eyes in front of her. Little Shitou is a good friend of her alki sister, Qian Wu. In the past two months, the boy has frequently mentioned the name of his second brother.

Little Shitou grinned, "Benart, big brother Xiaowen, Doesn't my second sister really look like my oldest sister? People usually mix it up. How do you recognize him?"

Qian Wen grabbed the little boy's hand and continued on to the city, "Although I've often not met your eldest sister, I've been, the children of fishing villages usually have darker fur because they often go to the beach. Your second brother rarely comes out, so he has brighter skin."

Little Shitou carefully examined the skin of her second sister and firmly nodded, "That's right! Second brother must not have fully recovered because his face looks so pale."

The little boy had heard that people who were sick generally had paler skin. He did not have a clear understanding of 'pale' and just thought that being pale was unhealthy.

Yu Xiaocao had a great 'awkward' character in his heart! 'Qian Wen, as a scholar, is it okay to openly discuss the skin color of a young woman?' As for her foolish little brother, 'Your sister has bright skin because she uses mystic stone water to wash her face every day, okay? When did you see me sick? It is called pale with a reddish luster, which is very healthful!'

On the other hand, his foolish younger brother had already started chatting with others, "Brother Xiaowen, are you going back to the city to study? We went with Brother Han to sell the hunted. Let's go for a walk together!"

"We have to walk far enough to reach the city. Can you follow, little boy?"

.

"I can! I am really amazing. Even Second Brother is not as good as me!" Uh he just got hit again.

"Shitou, if you're tired, let me know. Brother Xiaowen will carry you."

-------

Yu Xiaocao never thought that the first person to get exhausted was not Little Shitou who was five years old, but herself. His physical body never walked far. He became much healthier after being fed by the mystical stone water. But after walking such a short distance, his legs were already in pain, and his entire body felt limp.

They had only walked less than a quarter of the way, but Yu Xiaocao's little face had already faded. He wiped away the sweat on his forehead, gritted his teeth, and continued walking staggered.

The tall and burly Zhao Han was naturally fine, and even the seemingly weak Qian Wen did not appear tired. He was not claustrophobic and his face was not flushed, while he stepped forward excitedly. Little Shitou had been running around the mountains and the beach ever since she learned walking on this road was rather easy for her. He jumped and chirped along the way, as if he was a cheerful little sparrow.

Qian Wen heard a wheezing sound, which is similar to the sound *******. He turned around and looked at Xiaocao with concern, "Xiaocao, give me your bamboo basket. I'll help you take him."

There were only two steamed bakpaos in his basket, but it felt like someone deliberately lowered the basket. Moreover, her legs hurt so much that she could barely lift them. Qian Wen bags did not look too big, but were filled with heavy items such as books and ink stones. Besides, she wasn't too close to him, so wouldn't it be rude for him to let her take him for her?

"unneeded. I'll be fine after a short break!" Xiaocao shook his head and wiped the sweat on his forehead. He sat by the side of the road, panting.

Little Shitou bit her thumb and said, "Second brother, with your speed, we might not be able to return before it gets dark!"

Xiaocao gritted his teeth and forced himself to stand up. He nodded and said, "Come fast! We don't want to delay big brother Xiaowen's study.."

Right now, the ox cart came from far away, while squeaking all the way. After looking over the deka, they realized that the driving was Old Zhang from Xishan village. When Old Zhang saw them, he smiled kindly and asked. "Aren't you the son of the Dongsahn Village Qian family? Are you going to the city?"

Every two days, Old Zhang would transport firewood carts to the city, which seemed to be a reservation made by a blacksmith in the city. One load of firewood will cost more than fifty copper coins. As long as the family helped out, this was a pretty good deal for the Zhang family who owned the ox cart.

"Grandfather Zhang, Xiaocao has a weak constitution and has never walked this far before. How can you let him sit on your wagon?" Qian Wen saw that there was no room for people to sit on the ox cart, as it was stacked with firewood. Therefore, he instead asked about the wagon shaft.

"So this is Xiaocao from the Yu family! I've heard from your maternal grandfather that you've hurt your head. Are you fully recovered now? How could your parents be so comfortable letting you go to town alone?" Old Zhang lived close to Madam Liu's family of girls, so he immediately agreed. He lifted Xiaocao up onto the carriage with his big hands.

"Brother Han, your basket is heavy enough for me to hold, "After all, Zhao Han is only thirteen years old, so it is quite tiring to travel while carrying so many hunts. There were more than ten hunts in his basket, which probably weighed over a dozen cats.

He looked at Yu Xiaocao who was overwhelmed as he sat on the wagon. His lips twitched and he shook his head, "It's not heavy. I can take it myself."

Riding the ox cart, the party finally arrived at the city at around half-ten in the morning. Tanggu City is still crowded with excitement like it used to be.

After Xiaocao and his younger brother thanked Old Zhang, he warmly arranged a meeting time with them for the trip back to the village. If the siblings wanted to ride his cow cart on their way home, they could meet him outside the city gates of dusk.

After parting ways with Qian Wen, Zhao Han handed the ceramic pot back to Xiaocao and then held each of the siblings' hands as they walked down the busy street. The streets were wide enough for two horse carriages to run side by side and they could see a horse carriage filled with cargo from the pier rushing through the road from time to time. In Xiaocao's opinion, as an important line for transporting sea freight to the capital, this was a small town with great potential for future development.

"Not many people are on the market in the afternoon. Should I ask Fulin Restaurant first?"  Zhao Han followed his father to sell the hunted several times in the past. He knew that his father had a business with two of the biggest restaurants in the area, so he asked his brother for his opinion first.

Yu Xiaocao remembered how he parted with Fulin Restaurant when he sold abalone last time, so he suggested, "I think we should go to Zhenxiu Restaurant first!"

Zhenxiu Restaurant was located a little further away from Fulin Restaurant, which was one of the reasons Zhao Han wanted to visit Fulin Restaurant first. However, Zhao Han was quite surprised to hear Xiaocao say.

"Xiaocao, you've also heard of Zhenxiu Restaurant? In recent months, the Restaurant business has indeed surpassed Fulin Restaurants. So they definitely need a lot of these hunts. I heard that Zhenxiu Restaurant seems to have learned the method of making special sauces with oysters from someone. Vegetables sauteed with oyster sauce are even tastier than meat dishes!"

"Oyster sauce! Hailizi is also called the south shenghao!" Hearing that the Zhenxiu Restaurant business was thriving due to the oyster sauce, Yu Xiaocao's heart was very proud and could hardly resist beaming happily.

'So full! It's called oyster sauce! " Zaho Han lowered his head, looked at him and asked, "Xiaocao, how do you know? Did Uncle Yu tell you?"

Of course, Yu Xiaocao would not explain to him that the oyster sauce recipe came from him. Therefore, he simply nodded evasively.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, the majestic sign of Zhenxiu Restaurant appeared before their eyes.

"Wow! It's a tall building!" Little Shitou gaped with astonishment. This was the first time he had seen a three-story building after walking this far. The outstanding charisma and luxurious decor of Zhenxiu Restaurant leave a deep impression on the little one.

Daytime is the busiest time for a restaurant. In front of the Zhenxiu retails, there were countless customers wearing luxurious silk brocades. There were also many luxurious horse carriages parked nearby. The tall horses were not tied up and ate forage casually.

"Second brother, we should go back when there are few people." Little Shitou noticed that everyone who entered and exited the restaurant were rich people wearing luxurious clothes. Looking at his own patch of clothes, he felt somewhat self-conscious and could not move forward.

Zhao Han grabbed his small hand and calmly said, "Little Shitou, we didn't steal anything or rob anyone, so there's nothing to be ashamed of! You guys wait here and don't wander around, I'll go to ask."

Seeing the young man's back being tall and handsome, Yu Xiaocao felt as if he was looking at a young general who was preparing for his first battle...

The entire Zhao family, from Grandpa Zhao to the thirteen-year-old Zhao Han, gave him the impression that they were not an ordinary hunting family. They would subconsciously emit an imposing aura and attitude of a warrior that would not be possessed by a family of ordinary hunters.

The tall and handsome young man spoke to the server who was greeting the customer. He put down the carrier basket, took out the wild rabbit that was still twitching, and said something to the server. At first, the servant shook his head nonstop, as if they would not take their hunting.

In fact, large restaurants usually have their own means to get supplies that are all imported goods. So, they would naturally not accept items from just anyone.

"Sister, we just saw the hunt this morning, so it's all fresh. Look at this rabbit, it's still very much alive!" Zhao Han tried his best to sell his hunting results. They cannot come in vain.

The young waiter shook his head and said, "Sorry, but our restaurant doesn't need any more. It's still very hot right now, so if we have too much, it'll be hard to preserve."

"Most of the game we brought is still alive. Even if you keep them overnight and sell them tomorrow, they are still very fresh. It's hard for me to come here with my younger brother and sister, so please make an exception." Zhao Han pointed towards Xiaocao and Shitou stood up.

"we really didn't take it.." The server suddenly stopped amid his refusal when it looked in the direction Zhao Han pointed out.

His eyes beamed as he looked at the appearance of the little girl in the distance. He walked around Zhao Han and quickly walked over with a smile.

'Miss Yu, I am so happy to see you again! Since you left last time, our young Bosa has been asking about you a few times. He didn't think some idiot wouldn't recognize you the next time you sent the game, so he specifically moved me to greet the guests..."
