Despite this, Liu's father still took Liu Xiaolu to a famous restaurant in the city for dinner.

Not to mention that there's no one at home now. Even if they go to the store, it's so busy that they can't either help or hold back.

Besides, eating in a restaurant outside can also help you understand the restaurant's market conditions at that time.

Find out what special dishes are available, or find out what people like at this time.

The signature dish of this restaurant is beggar's chicken.

Father Liu ordered a chicken and a side dish of tofu soup, and two bowls of white rice would be enough.

At this time, the portions in the restaurant were still quite large, which was quite different from what was shown in the TV series.

The beggar's chicken was served, the yellow mud on the outside had been knocked off by the waiter in advance, and a lotus leaf was wrapped around the whole chicken. As the lotus leaf was opened, the aroma of the chicken wafted out.

"Eat it!"

Father Liu used chopsticks to separate one of the legs, picked it up and put it in Liu Xiaolu's bowl.

Liu Xiaolu took the chicken leg, said "Thank you!" and took a big bite.

"Grandpa, this is delicious! Very tender!"

Father Liu was not the kind of person who only cared about his children and not himself. He naturally picked up another chicken leg and started eating, nodding as he ate. "Yes, this tastes pretty good. The chickens used should be about three months old. In addition, the chickens raised at this time don't eat any messy feeds. They are purely raised by hand. The taste is good. I'll pack two to take home later. I guess your mother and the others don't have time to go out to eat. Bring it back for them to try too."

Liu Xiaolu nodded, "Yeah, sure, I haven't eaten such delicious chicken legs in a long time."

A signature dish is a signature dish, and almost everyone at other tables will order one.

After eating and drinking their fill, the two men walked leisurely on the streets of the city.

This was Liu Xiaolu’s first time here. She had passed through some large cities when fleeing famine before, but some of them were inaccessible, and some that were accessible were still desolate.

This is my first time to come to a big city like this one, where the people are peaceful and bustling.

"Grandpa, I think the prefectural city is great, much better than the county town. The streets are much cleaner."

"Yes, that's why I said before that people always strive for higher places. We can't live in the county town forever. Even for you and for future generations, we still want to accumulate some family property as much as possible. Give the children a better living environment."

"Grandpa, I can fight for myself in the future."

"Xiao Lu, you are still young and don't think about things comprehensively. Think about it, if your mother and I are gone a hundred years later, or if the older generation is gone, and you young people are left, you will come to fight for it, whether it is in terms of ideas, knowledge, or even experience, and you will have the limitations of this dynasty. Although there are always talented people, your mother and I don't expect you to have a great future. We just hope that you can live a safe and prosperous life."

"Grandpa, I can't bear to leave you. It will be a long, long time before you leave. I don't want to live here alone."

"Silly boy, we will definitely be with you for a very long time. That's why we want to create a certain living environment for you. By then you will have your own life, and it would be best if you could get married and have two children. Even if you still don't meet the right person by then, at least you will have the capital and conditions to live on your own."

Liu's father didn't tell her to get married and have children. He didn't have such a mandatory requirement in modern times, and he didn't change his mind after coming here.

Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren.

Liu Caixia is a living example that an unhappy marriage is far more unhappy than an unhappy person.

Liu Xiaolu is neither too old nor too young at this age. After she came here, Liu Caixia and her mother taught her many rules, including not having too much physical contact with Liu's father outside. If she occasionally acts like a spoiled child at home, they won't say anything, but she must not do anything beyond the rules outside.

"Well, Grandpa, I know, and I will work hard to learn some life skills. I hope to find someone like Grandpa to marry in the future."

"Silly, these things will still happen in a few years, don't think too much about it now."

"Grandpa, why is our store so popular? There are so many people lining up!"

At this time, the two of them had already walked to the street not far from the delicious braised meat shop, and looked at the long line in front of the shop. Liu Xiaolu was stunned. After all, in the county town, such a situation only occurred during the first two days of the opening. Although the business was still good at other times, it was not such a hot scene.

Father Liu realized at this moment that today was the day of the big market. No wonder the city was so lively. "It's the market day today, so there are so many people. Usually there shouldn't be so many people. Let's go and help."

Lin Weizhong saw Father Liu and Liu Xiaolu, "Uncle Liu, Xiaolu is here. You guys come in first, it's too busy right now."

"It's okay, just do your thing. Let's go wash our hands and come help. We just came here and had lunch, so you can take some time to rest."

"It's okay. There are only these things. They will be gone once they are sold. There weren't so many people at the previous two markets. I don't know why there are so many people today. The quantity we prepared is based on the previous flow of people."

"Okay, don't tire me out."

Liu Caixia was even less polite. She just called Liu's father "Dad" and went to greet the customers. Liu Xiaolu followed Liu's father and squeezed in from the table at the door. "Sir, please make way for us. We will go in and help. The sales will be faster later."

The uncle standing next to the table immediately made room for him and it was his turn. He was also planning to buy some breakfast and add some meat to his son's meal.

Father Liu and Liu Xiaolu quickly came out from the backyard. They were not wearing the store's uniform, but just put on aprons and went to help.

Liu Xiaolu helped with the accounting and collecting money, while Liu's father helped with cutting the braised meat.

The same waiter from last time was still cutting the braised meat in the store.

Liu Caixia packed the food and collected the money, while Lin Weizhong greeted the customers and weighed them.

With the addition of Liu's father and his partner, they felt a lot more relaxed.

"Mom, if you're tired, just take a rest. I can handle it by myself."

"It's okay, you collect the money and I'll pack it up. Be quick, we'll close once we're done selling."

They were all used to working, so they worked together and the speed was much faster. Soon the remaining braised meat was sold out. Even the kimchi and pickled radish were gone.

Customers who didn’t buy any could only leave in disappointment. “I finally sold out my eggs early today and came here to line up, but still couldn’t buy the braised pork. Next time I go to the market, I’ll buy the braised pork first and then go buy eggs.”

They looked like villagers who came to the city to sell eggs during market time.

There are quite a lot of people like this. They may come to the city once or twice a month to buy meat and take it home to satisfy their hunger. People like this can be considered to have a good life in the village.

Since these people can't buy braised meat, they will buy half a pound or a pound of pork from the butcher shop and take it home.

The main customers of the braised meat shop are the wealthy families in the city and the students from the surrounding academies.
