When the Great Dao Dies, I Remain; When Spiritual Energy Withers, I Endure

Everyone sweeps the snow in front of their doors.

The snow scene is indeed moving.

But when you clean it up, you realize what is annoying.

Li Changxiao was no longer clearing the snow in front of the door on his first day.

I already have some experience, but I still feel that this is a chore.

The most terrible thing is the "Lai Xiang" on the opposite side. She gets up early every day and sweeps the snow in front of the door, intentionally or unintentionally, to the door of Lai Xiang.

Li Changxiao argued with the other party several times about this matter.

But all in vain.

There was also a vicious dog across the street, tied at the door. Whenever Li Changxiao came near, he would bark incessantly.

Not only that.

Sometimes, they will bark deliberately at night to disturb people's dreams.

Li Changxiao expressed disdain for this unfair competition method.

However, he was accompanied by wine, which did not bother him. He only suffered from the boss's wife and often suffered from insomnia.

Although Li Changxiao didn't care at all, he would still fight back in his spare time. Think of it as helping the boss lady vent her anger.

比如给那恶犬编织梦境，让它幼小的心灵，体会到什么叫爱而不得，又比如暗中操控几名江湖客，把虎来香当家揍上一顿。

At that time, he would hold the bench and sit at the door to watch the show. The proprietress would also bring a stool, sit next to him, and kindly give him a handful of melon seeds.

Longlaixiang is a time-honored restaurant in Longcheng.

Passed down from generation to generation.

The food is delicious but not expensive.

The most important thing is that there are many officials in the city who often come to Long Laixiang for dinner before they get rich.

So on the surface, Long Laixiang is just a dining hall. In fact, it has some old relationships with many officials.

But now.

Times have changed.

Li Shanhe delegated power and staged the drama of seizing his son and his legitimate son.

Those princes and princesses all want to establish their own foundation.

I don’t know how many officials have undergone major changes. Officialdom was in turmoil.

The little background of Long Laixiang disappeared in this dispute without war.

Yang Xiuhua didn't know this.

She could only see that Tiger Lai Xiang's business was getting better and better, but she couldn't see the root cause behind it.

Every day I still think about how to come up with better dishes and regain those lost customers.

On this day, the proprietress plans to cook herself.

The food is extremely demanding on the ingredients.

Ingredients must be fresh.

Yang Xiuhua got up early, woke up Li Changxiao, and accompanied her to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

Li Changxiao asked her why she had to call herself.

Yang Xiuhua frowned and couldn't explain why. Finally, after thinking for a long time, she gave a reason: she felt it would be safer to call Li Changxiao.

No matter how miserable this guy is, he can still be considered a swordsman.

Yang Xiuhua may have subconsciously sensed the subtle changes in the situation recently.

The world... is in chaos.

Just like a mouse knows in advance that an earthquake is coming.

Li Changxiao readily agreed.

Yang Xiuhua glanced at Li Changxiao.

To be honest, sometimes she really couldn't understand what this swordsman was thinking.

It kind of subverts her stereotype of charlatans.

Generally, people who like to drink have bad tempers.

However, this swordsman has a good temper and always has a slight smile on his lips. It fits his name.

The two of them walked to the vegetable market one after the other.

There was a huge crowd and it was still so lively.

However, the food prices have increased a lot, and there are more homeless people in ragged clothes in the corners.

I heard that some villagers from the fishing village had no choice but to flee here after their village was flooded.

When passing by them, Yang Xiuhua felt uncomfortable all over and felt that there were more than ten pairs of eyes stabbing at her at the same time.

Fortunately, the swordsman behind him coughed twice, and then the sights of the refugees turned away.

She exhaled softly.

Then she felt sad again, and she realized that she was alone, a woman. In many things, we are still unable to do anything.

Spent a long time shopping in the vegetable market.

Yang Xiuhua carefully selected a lot of ingredients and planned to develop new dishes when she went back.

Li Changxiao expressed that he was very looking forward to being a judge.

While the two were talking.

Several refugees sitting on the ground looked at each other and surrounded the two of them.

"Okay, okay, we haven't eaten for several days." The leader of the refugees begged.

Yang Xiuhua frowned, not wanting to be troublesome, so she took out the remaining copper coins and distributed them to several people.

unexpectedly.

After the refugees took the coins, they looked at each other and still refused to leave.

Instead, he wanted to take action against Yang Xiuhua.

One of the refugees also said: "The girl is so kind. I heard that the famous Long Laixiang Restaurant nearby is run by the girl."

"I'll help you to the end. Why don't you ask us to stay with you for a few days?"

The refugees approached step by step.

Yang Xiuhua looked ugly and became angry, "Bah! Don't know what's good, I'll count to three, you'd better get out of here!"

"Hahaha." The refugees laughed.

Yang Xiuhua looked fierce on the outside, but she was secretly beating her heart.

She comes from a weak girl's family. If these refugees want to come hard, she really has no choice.

Thinking of this, her legs trembled slightly.

However, she held on to her fierceness, and it seemed that if those people came closer, she would roll up her sleeves and fight with all her strength.

Just then.

Li Changxiao held a wooden branch in his hand, approached the refugees in a few steps, and took action without saying a word.

The wooden branch slapped one of the refugees on the face with a sound of snap, leaving a red mark.

Then, snap, snap...

The wooden branch disappeared quickly, and in a few breaths, it knocked all the refugees to the ground, making painful howls.

Li Changxiao solved everything in a casual manner.

Then, he turned around and looked at Yang Xiuhua with a playful look.

"What...what?" Yang Xiuhua pretended to be angry and choked.

Li Changxiao smiled and said, "Nothing, I just want to see if the boss lady is so fierce to everyone."

"You want to be beaten, right!" Yang Xiuhua was so angry that she punched Li Changxiao in the chest.

She felt that Li Changxiao had seen through her, that she was just strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

The two stepped over the refugees and returned to Longlaixiang Canteen.

Yang Xiuhua was sulking, walked into the kitchen, and started cooking.

...

At the same time

The refugees got up from the ground in a panic and sneaked into the Hulaixiang Canteen from the back door.

"Did it work?" The head of the Hulaixiang Canteen was a young man with narrow eyes and a slightly protruding mouth.

His name was Liu Ba.

The refugees shook their heads again and again, and the leader said, "The white-clothed swordsman is very skilled in martial arts. He only used a branch to beat the brothers so hard that they couldn't fight back!"

"Boss, your plan is probably going to fail!"

Liu Ba frowned, "It shouldn't be like this. If that guy is so powerful, he should have fought back when I kicked him out, right?"

At this point.

Liu Ba sneered, "The world will become more and more chaotic recently. If it doesn't work this time, then wait for the next time."

"No matter how tough Yang Xiuhua is, she is just a woman!"

"And I, Liu Ba, have the support of not only the big families behind me! How can she beat me!"

...

Li Changxiao smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen and his appetite moved.

He deliberately drank a few sips of water to wash away the alcohol in his mouth. Apart from anything else, he was very impressed with Yang Xiuhua's cooking skills.

Although he was detained here because of eating a free meal and wasting the daughter's red wine that was handed down for hundreds of years, he did not get paid for his work.

But in contrast, his two meals a day were covered.

So Li Changxiao could always eat the boss's wife's food, and he was very satisfied with it, thinking it was more real than money.

Just as the fragrance was wafting in the house.

Suddenly, Li Changxiao was stunned, and then a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

His figure flashed, and he disappeared out of thin air.

Li Changxiao had been looking for Fu Tao's younger brother Fu Ren.

However, his way of looking for people was different from others.

He was looking for people in dreams.

And now, it seems that he has gained something.
