Alechuan is not as strong as Li Daniu, but fortunately, with Ada around, the combined work efficiency of the two can be on par with Li Daniu.

"Ada, Su Dalang is such a good man, worthy of being the son of the River Goddess. I was going to give him 200 taels, but he not only didn't want any money, he even provided food!"

Alechuan sincerely felt that this was the legendary home of kindness!

With the help of the two strong men, the construction of the academy progressed steadily. However, when it was time to eat, Su Xuanming was dumbfounded.

"What? Not enough golden rice?"

Golden rice is made by cooking golden chrysanthemums and rice.

Su Yunting felt that in an elegant place, one should do elegant things, so he strongly advocated the use of golden rice.

I never expected that the golden rice that I thought would be plentiful was not enough.

Su Xuanming took a look at Alechuan who was eating four bowls in a row, Ada who was pouring food into his mouth with one bowl in his left hand and another in his right hand, and Li Daniu who looked very elegant but had actually eaten six bowls in a row.

Is this reasonable?

Li Daniu reluctantly put down the porcelain bowl and said embarrassedly: "Su Dalang, I..."

Su Xuanming wiped away his tears.

Li Daniu couldn't speak anymore. No way, he just ate too much and made the young man cry? If his mother knew about this, would she beat him up and drive him out?

Su Xuanming wiped his tears and choked up, "Mother always said that the Great Zhou only has one capital. So this is what she meant... You have suffered!"

After saying that, Su Xuanming shared his uneaten golden rice with Li Daniu, Alechuan and Ada: "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. Since I promised to fill your stomachs, I will definitely not break my promise."

The bowl in Li Daniu's hand was only filled with one-third of golden rice, but it felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Is this the boy that the young lady taught?

General Gu often said that one should first learn how to be a good person before learning the Four Books and Five Classics.

As a human being, Su Dalang is much better than many high-ranking officials and nobles!

The young lady... has never forgotten the general, and has never forgotten the general's teachings!

Li Daniu lowered his head and began to eat with big mouthfuls of food. Only his sharp eyes were filled with tears.

"Big brother! Second brother! Third brother..."

In the open wilderness, the girl's clear voice, like the song of an oriole, startled the birds that were looking for food on the ground.

Alechuan, whose head was almost buried in his rice bowl, raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice when he heard the words.

A young girl was standing on the shaft of a carriage, waving at everyone.

She is slender and graceful, with a beautiful figure, black hair like clouds, and a pair of bright eyes like autumn water that are slightly curved, exuding a unique vitality.

In the lonely wilderness, it is like a small sun, unconsciously attracting everyone's attention.

Su Yunyan jumped off the carriage and said to everyone with a smile: "The new store has not yet opened. I made some delicious food. Please have a taste, brothers."

Su Xuanming, who was overjoyed to see his sister, froze in laughter after hearing these words. He couldn't help but take a few steps back and stammered, "Little sister, I'm not hungry."

"Nonsense! Big brother, you haven't eaten yet! How can you not be hungry? Eleventh sister, Seventh brother is really not hungry. Give Seventh brother's portion to Big Brother!"

Jiang Guanghai pushed Su Xuanming, then quickly called the servants to unload the wooden boxes from the cart. He seemed to be so busy that he had no time to eat.

The other brothers no longer sat on the ground to rest, but immediately got up and started working, as if the job could not be done without them.

Su Yunyan pouted, her eyes full of grievance: "Do I have to do this job? I'm so busy that I don't even have time to eat?!"

Su Xuanming also wanted to run away, but seeing Su Yunyan's pitiful appearance, he couldn't bear it, so he turned around and said, "Little sister, don't worry about them. I'm hungry, give me some."

Su Yunyan then turned her tears into laughter, her pretty face shining like a rainbow after the rain.

Alechuan in the corner had already been stunned, and couldn't help but look forward to what kind of delicacies this beautiful girl would bring out.

Su Yunyan took out a four-layer mahogany box with a hexagonal Ruyi brocade pattern and carefully opened the lid of the first layer.

In an instant, an extremely unique smell dominated the entire space.

There was a blue and white porcelain bowl in the food box, steam rising from it. The red, green, white and black ingredients complemented each other in the bowl, creating a touching picture.

Really! Moving!

Su Xuanming staggered, unable to stand steadily. He covered his nose with both hands and lamented, "Little sister, have you finally gone astray on the path of gourmet food? Who gave you the Secret Cookbook?!"

Su Yunyan was afraid of damaging her brother's confidence, and she didn't have the heart to let him know that her mother's favorite child was actually her, so she urged him, "Brother, don't ask too much. Come and try this bowl of snail noodles! This is the main product of our store, and it's guaranteed to be the only one in Kyoto!"

Su Xuanming was in ecstasy: "Little sister, if I have offended you in any way, you can just kill me instead of torturing me like this."

Su Yunyan tightened her handkerchief, stamped her feet, and said angrily, "It's not poisonous! I've tasted it! The smell is a bit overbearing at first, but after getting used to it, you'll love it deeply."

Su Xuanming didn't believe it and refused to die before accomplishing his mission.

Just when the brother and sister were in a stalemate, Alechuan had already been attracted by the strange aroma, his throat rolling up and down, and the word "I want to eat" was written all over his throat.

"Who are you?" Su Yunyan quickly noticed this dirty boy, who looked silly and had several grains of white rice on his cheeks.

It is obviously the attire and appearance of an outsider.

However, the Great Zhou Dynasty was tolerant and open, with all nations coming to pay tribute. The people in the capital were no longer surprised by outsiders.

Alechuan's face instantly turned red, but luckily his skin was wheat-colored, so it was hard to tell: "I, I am Alechuan."

"Would you like to try this snail noodle?"

Alechuan wanted to say yes, but the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them. He was so anxious that his eyes turned red and he could only nod his head.

Su Yunyan thought he was not familiar with the Da Zhou language, so she said gently: "Don't worry. I know what you mean. Don't worry, there are a lot of snail noodles, I'll save a bowl for you."

After saying that, Su Yunyan took out a bowl of snail noodles from the second layer of food box and handed it to Alechuan: "Can you use chopsticks?"

Alechuan nodded frantically. At this moment, he only felt that the snail noodles were very fragrant, but the lady from the Su family was even more fragrant!

Su Yunyan squatted beside Alechuan, watching him eat heartily with a smile on her face: "How does this sour bamboo shoot taste?"

"Very good!"

“Is this rice noodle chewy and smooth?”

"Very good!"

“Is this tofu skin juicy?”

"Very good!"

Su Yunyan's eyes turned and she asked, "How about being my shop assistant?"

"Very good!"

Su Yunyan stood up suddenly, clapped her hands, and circled around Su Xuanming: "Brother, I found the most suitable assistant for my store!"

Only then did Alechuan realize what he had just agreed to.

However, the dancing butterfly was so beautiful and dazzling, how could Alechuan bear to go back on his word?

Alechuan's eyes seemed to be filled with starlight, and there was an indulgent smile on the corners of his mouth.
