The first wine house in Linshui Town is indeed famous for its good service, fast dishes and delicious taste. Li Xia let Xia Zhi and Xiao Hei eat, while he slowly introduced that the wine house had invited a very famous chef from the south to take charge of the kitchen.
"But the ingredients are all local and fresh. As for the taste, I heard from people who came from the south that it's still authentic. Old uncle, Xia Zhi, you guys eat slowly. If it's not enough, we'll order more."
"Li Xia, we were just talking about people from the south, aren't they the most numerous in the prefectural city?" Xia Zhi asked.
"Yes." Li Xia nodded, "Wenshan Academy recruits students from all over the world and many students from the south come to study here in name only." Moreover, the prefectural city is also a gathering place for water and land terminals throughout the north, with merchants coming and going continuously.
The city is a much more prosperous place than Linshui Town. Xia Zhi touched her purse, she didn't plan to go to the city for now. But in the future, she definitely would.
"Sixteen, have you studied?" It was unclear when it started, but Li Xia had begun calling Xia Zhi by her nickname.
"I didn't receive any formal education, I just learned a few characters by following my grandfather and uncle." Xia Zhi said humbly.
The little black fish's face lit up when eating, and at this time, he nodded: "Sixteen is smart, learning to recognize characters especially quickly."
"Old Uncle is also very impressive. At such a young age, he can already teach Li Shi to recognize characters! Old Uncle, how old are you and how many years of school have you attended?" Li Xia asked with a smile.
"I'm seven years old, and I'll go to school next year." Little Black Fish replied with relish.
"Oh, you're only seven years old."
"I'm not little anymore." Little Black Fish asked Li Xia, "How old are you?"
"I'm fifteen this year," Li Xia replied.
"You're 15! Li Xia, you don't look that old." Xiao Hei Yu said, turning his head to grab another piece of sweet and sour carp. Except for preferring spicy food, Xiao Hei Yu's eating habits were the same as most kids, liking sweet things. And he especially loved eating fish and shrimp.
Li Xia's mouth twitched involuntarily, he raised one hand and touched his face. It turned out that in Xiao Hei Yu Er's eyes, he was already very old at this age.
Look at little black fish again, and look at Li Xia who is slightly dazed, can't help but want to smile.
"How old are you now?" Li Xia put down her hand and asked Xia Zhi again.
"I'm twelve." Xia Zhi replied, having held back her laughter earlier and now finally able to laugh out loud.
Li Xia looked at the little black fish and asked: "Uncle, I'm old at 15, what about 16?"
"You can't compare with sixteen, sixteen is just right." Little Black Fish replied straightforwardly, and at the same time picked up a shrimp with his chopsticks for Big Green to taste. Big Green squatted beside him and Xia Zhi's legs, her face buried in the large copper basin, gobbling down food voraciously.
"So that's how it is." Li Xia smiled for a while, and suddenly he had an appetite. He picked up the rice bowl in front of him, and with the dishes on the table, he ate as fragrantly as Xia Zhi and Xiao Hei Yu. "Old uncle, Sixteen, did you two come to the temple fair today?"
Xia Zhi told Li Xia that they had come to stroll around the temple fair. "Also brought some cherries and fresh flowers from home to sell."
"Hey, did you sell well?" Li Xia saw the empty basket in Xia Zhi's hand and only then understood the reason.
"It's okay." Xia Zhi replied.
"Alright." Little Black Fish replied.
Li Xia smiled: "Are you selling these things to make ends meet?"
"It's okay," Xia Zhi said, "I want to learn how to write, so I need to buy some paper and pens." She didn't plan on relying on her family for support, at least not under the current circumstances. Suddenly, as if she had just thought of something, Xia Zhi asked Li Xia, "We used to sell flowers by the road where people go to burn incense, why haven't I seen you there?"
Li Xia said they came by horse-drawn carriage, so they took the road behind the mountain.
"Oh......, you and your family all take the bus on that road behind the mountain?" Xia Zhi asked again.
"Yes." Li Xia nodded.
The little black fish had almost finished eating, and when Xia Zhi mentioned selling flowers, he also remembered something. The little black fish leaned his head against Xia Zhi's ear and whispered a few sentences.
"What are you two talking about? Can't I listen?" Li Xia ate with a big mouth, and her attitude towards Xia Zhi and Xiao Hei Yu was already quite familiar.
"I was just about to tell you. Li Xia, we saw your cousin. She's no good!" Little Black Fish told Li Xia straightforwardly.
Li Xia swallowed a mouthful of rice and stared blankly for a moment before swallowing it down. "My cousin? Do you know her?"
"Does that girl you were chasing have a twin sister?" Xia Zhi didn't answer, instead asking back, compared to Xiao Hei Yu Er, she was much more tactful.
"No. Have you seen her somewhere else?"
"Hmm." Little Black Fish nodded heavily, "She has taken a liking to the cherries we sell, but she insists they're not good." After finishing speaking, Little Black Fish turned around and called out to the young servant boy to add another basin of water for Da Qing.
Li Xia looks at the summer solstice.
Xia Zhi put down her chopsticks: "That girl named Bing Er, is indeed identical to the cousin you're chasing after, and she's even dressed the same."
Upon hearing Bing Er's name, Li Xia's expression changed slightly before quickly returning to normal.
"Is she... human?"
"No."
"I'm relieved then." Li Xia didn't continue asking and Xia Zhi also didn't continue speaking.
The little black fish had eaten its fill and looked at the big green for a while. Now it finally put all its energy on Li Xia's body.
"Li Xia, is she your wife?" Little Black Fish asked Li Xia with a flicker of his clear black and white eyes.
"Oh..." Li Xia's hand paused for a moment, he couldn't quite grasp the little black fish's train of thought, but he still understood that what she said was referring to He Bing'er. "No, I haven't married yet."
"Hasn't he even found a daughter-in-law yet?" Little Black Fish continued to ask.
Summer solstice lowering head to eat rice, pretending not to hear what they are saying, secretly enduring laughter with great difficulty.
"There isn't." Li Xia lowered her head and took a mouthful of rice, saying in a low, muffled voice.
Xia Zhi couldn't help but speak up, she hastily gave a signal to Xiao Hei: "Old uncle, stop saying 'daughter-in-law' all the time, can't you see that Li Xia is getting embarrassed!"
Li Xia suddenly started coughing and her face turned red.
Xiao Hei was still quite nonchalant: "Li Xia is not young anymore, he should have a wife. I'm asking as his friend." Then he seriously told Li Xia, "That girl is not your wife. You two... are not good together."
They were both...not good. Li Xiaochuan thought for a while before he understood the meaning of Xiao Hei Yu's words. His cough became even more severe.
Xia Zhi saw Li Xia's face turn red, and hurriedly said to Xiao Hei Yu: "Old uncle, I told you not to say it. Look at Li Xia, she's already embarrassed like this. Let's not talk about it anymore!"
This is clearly adding fuel to the fire rather than dissuading him.
