During Cai Xiaoxiao and Zhao Kangcheng's dinner, Zheng Yi did sit on the side very obediently, without saying a word, either drinking tea quietly, or holding Zhao Kangcheng's book and reading quietly on the side.

For such a quiet Zheng Yi, Cai Xiaoxiao was a little unaccustomed, and occasionally raised his eyes to look at Zheng Yi, but this made Zhao Kangcheng a little displeased, he reached out and put a chopstick potato shreds in Cai Xiaoxiao's bowl, attracting Cai Xiaoxiao's attention, so he said: "Concentrate on eating!" ”

Cai Xiaoxiao blinked and said innocently: "I'm concentrating on eating." ”

So Zhao Kangcheng said again: "Don't look at him! ”

"Huh?" Cai Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and immediately smiled, "Puff hahaha, Xianggong, were you jealous just now?" ”

Zhao Kangcheng blushed, but readily admitted: "Hmm! ”

"Hahaha, Xianggong, you're so cute." Zhao Kangcheng, who readily admits that he is jealous, is too cute to poke Cai Xiaoxiao.

"Huh? What's wrong, what's wrong? Are you talking about any interesting things? The voices of the two attracted Zheng Yi's attention, and he hurriedly asked.

"No, read your book." Zhao Kangcheng didn't wait for Cai Xiaoxiao to speak, so he preemptively said it.

So Cai Xiaoxiao just smiled and said, "Yes, no, I just smelled a sour smell." ”

Zhao Kangcheng's face turned even redder, and he simply lowered his head and ate his own food silently, Cai Xiaoxiao saw it, and couldn't help but deepen the smile on his face.

"Huh? Acerbity? It was Zheng Yi who didn't understand the meaning of Cai Xiaoxiao's words, blinked in confusion, and then looked at the dishes on the table, but he didn't see any dishes with a sour taste, nor did he see vinegar, and he didn't understand where Cai Xiaoxiao's sour smell came from.

I wanted to ask, but seeing that the two of them were concentrating on eating, I could only swallow the curiosity in my heart and continue to read.

Finally when the two of them finished eating, the shopkeeper also sent someone to remove all the dishes and chopsticks, Zheng Yi began to ask impatiently: "Sister-in-law, you just said that you smelled a sour smell, why didn't I smell it?" Where did you smell it? ”

"Huh?" Cai Xiaoxiao didn't expect Zheng Yi to be still entangled in this matter, so he had to say perfunctorily, "No, maybe I smelled it wrong...... By the way, you asked me if I was going to open a restaurant in the capital, what's wrong? Is there anything you'd like to say? To avoid Zheng Yi from being entangled all the time, she hurriedly changed the topic.

"Ah, that, well, I want to ask my sister-in-law, can you let me cooperate in it when the time comes?" Zheng Yi was successfully diverted from the topic and said, "I'm thinking, the world's No. 1 restaurant can become a famous restaurant in the capital, so with my sister-in-law's cooking skills, it must be even more famous than that restaurant at that time." ”

"Should you say that you really deserve to be a businessman? Seize the opportunity so quickly. Cai Xiaoxiao was helpless, "Of course you can, besides, we were originally partners, aren't we." It's just a restaurant, and I think it's not too late to wait for the title of the Xianggong Gold List to be established. ”

Zhao Kangcheng smiled slightly, but he was slightly worried in his heart because of Cai Xiaoxiao's unreasonable trust in him: in terms of talent, he was confident that he would definitely be able to win the gold list, but if he was obstructed by the Taifu again this time...... At that time, he really didn't know how to face Cai Xiaoxiao's disappointment, and even began to vaguely worry about whether Cai Xiaoxiao would look down on him because of this?

Thinking of this, Zhao Kangcheng's heart was very heavy, but no matter what happened, he still had to fight for the imperial examination this time!

Cai Xiaoxiao didn't notice Zhao Kangcheng's heavy thoughts, she smiled and said to Zhao Kangcheng: "Xianggong, I want to go tomorrow to see if there are any cheap shops that can be rented, and then they can be used to sell some breakfast or some simple snacks." ”

"Well, I'm with you." Zhao Kangcheng said.

Cai Xiaoxiao: "No need, I'll just be alone, Xianggong, you can just stay in the inn and read a book with peace of mind." ”

"Can you do it alone?" Zhao Kangcheng looked uneasy.

Cai Xiaoxiao smiled: "Of course you can, I'm not a child." ”

"But ......"

"Brother Zhao, don't worry, I'll accompany my sister-in-law." Zheng Yi said suddenly.

"Huh?" The two frowned and looked at Zheng Yi together, "Why do you want to accompany you?" They asked.

Zheng Yi blinked and said, "Because I still want to visit other places in the capital......

"That kind of thing, you can go alone." Cai Xiaoxiao hugged her chest and said, "I came back after going to see the store, and I didn't plan to visit the capital." ”

"Don't you read the book to solidify the contents?" Zhao Kangcheng said, "I will try it in ten days." ”

"That kind of thing doesn't matter, I don't really care if I can be on the list, and now I finally don't have to be forced to read by my mother, I don't want to work hard anymore." Zheng Yi waved his hand and said with a very indifferent expression.

"But your mother really hopes that your Zheng family can produce an official." Cai Xiaoxiao said.

"That being said, but unfortunately, I'm not an official." Zheng Yi shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't like to be an official either, being an official feels too constrained in my eyes, although the status of a businessman is very low, but I like to do business very much, not to mention, being a businessman can also run all over the world, see all the beautiful scenery in the world, eat all the food in the world, it's just happy!" ”

This is true, if Cai Xiaoxiao wants to say, she is also willing to choose to be a free businessman, rather than an official who is bound by various rules.

But Zhao Kangcheng is here, she can't say anything, she can only say: "Okay, then I wish you not to be on the list as much as possible." ”

"I like this blessing." Zheng Yi said with a smile.

"But—then you don't need to stay with me tomorrow, you can just go shopping on your own tomorrow." Cai Xiaoxiao said.

"Don't be so disgusted, I just want to see the shops in the capital, and I also want to see if I can do some small business in the capital." Zheng Yi said, "After all, sister-in-law, you also said that if you don't build a restaurant now, I won't go back in a short time, so I have to find a way to earn some money for myself." ”

Having said that, there really doesn't seem to be a reason to stop him.

Cai Xiaoxiao and Zhao Kangcheng glanced at each other, and finally Zhao Kangcheng said, "Then let him go with you, so that I can rest assured." ”

"Hmm." Cai nodded slightly.

Zheng Yi breathed a sigh of relief on the side: I feel that there is really no one else who can do this job, and it is just disliked by others, and I have to step forward and not leave. I don't know what evil I have fallen into.

Zheng Yi shook his head helplessly and smiled silently.

The next day, after Cai Xiaoxiao said goodbye to Zhao Kangcheng, he began to inquire about where the rented shop near here was.
