Lu Lin had no choice but to boil more goat milk to feed his big baby and little baby.
Shen Chi always visited Dash, he would spend hours staring at Dash and fantasizing about his unborn baby.
"Uncle Chi, look at baby Dash, he's very chubby."
Shen Chi smiled, "Just like you when you were a baby."
"Look at his chubby hands," Yuan Bao said.
Shen Chi showed a doting smile.
Dash opened his eyes and smiled at Yuan Bao.
"Uncle Chi, Dash is smiling. Look at how happy he is after I said he's chubby. My baby brother is a fool, he liked to be called chubby."
Shen Chi stroked Yuan Bao's hair.
Chen Xiao Mi now walked in. "Ah Chi, there's some chicken soup stewed in the kitchen for you."
Shen Chi blushed and said, "I... Xiao Mi Ge, there's no need to cook for me specially."
They usually had three meals at a fixed time, and now it wasn't time for any meal.
"You suffer severe morning sickness, you didn't eat much for breakfast, just go enjoy some chicken soup, it's no trouble."
Chen Xiao Cai was away and Chen Xiao Mi cared about Shen Chi even more than before.
Yuan Bao was a little excited. "Daddy, do I have any chicken soup?"
"No," Chen Xiao Mi said firmly.
Yuan Bao puffed up his cheeks and said, "Why not!"
Chen Xiao Mi looked at Yuan Bao and said, "Look at your face, I want to call you Roundie."
Yuan Bao said sullenly, "Father Lin said that I look good."
Chen Xiao Mi smiled, 'Well, your Father Lin is obviously biased.'
Chen Xiao Mi paid a visit to the brewery this day. There were many employees working hard when he was there.
After the wine was brewed, some would be sent to the military camp, some would be sent to several nearby towns, while the rest would be kept for sale in Sha County.
Lu Lin and the soldiers in the military camp had a deal. The soldiers would work for Lu Lin on their days off, and Lu Lin could pay them with wine and food.
This winemaking business was the most profitable business in Lu Lin's hands.
Lu Lin zoned out this day, he was worried for the boys who had left for the capital city.
......
Chen Xiao Cai and the team had finally arrived at the capital city.
Chen Xiao Cai was very generous with money along the way. Every time he went to a county, he didn't hesitate to take care of all the team members. All the soldiers respected Xiao Cai for that.
Chen Xiao Mai opened the curtain on the carriage to look at the view in the capital city, he kept gasping!
Chen Xiao Cai looked at the people walking back and forth on the street with an odd expression on his face.
In Sha County and Forest Town, most people would wear patched clothes, you would be considered rich if there wasn't a single patch on your clothes. But people in the capital city would wear brocade gowns with jade pendants around the belt, Chen Xiao Cai had seen several valuable jade pendants.
Chen Xiao Cai and the others followed Ji Cheng Kang to his residence. Ji Cheng Kang lived separately from his parents, Chen Xiao Cai felt less uncomfortable going to Ji Cheng Kang's residence instead of his parents' house.
Ji Cheng Kang left soon after he had arrived home.
Ji Cheng Kang would be quite busy in the following days. During this period of time, he had to visit his families, contact his colleagues in the imperial court, and arrange an academy for Ji Yun An.
Chen Xiao Cai looked at Ji Yun An and said, "Your uncle has already started working, we should take action too."
Ji Yun An nodded, he was full of pride and enthusiasm. Chen Xiao Cai and Ji Yun An walked out of the gate and decided to look for the storytellers in the city first. They planned to ask the professional storytellers to tell the story of Journey to the West to promote the story.
There were many tea houses in the capital, a lot of storytellers worked there. Going to the tea house was one of the most popular entertainments for many rich people.
Ji Yun An and Chen Xiao Cai visited several big tea houses but to no avail.
Fortunately, Ji Yun An was a pretty well-known young master, they were rejected in a polite way at least!
Chen Xiao Cai said in a depressed tone, "These people don't want to talk to us!"
Chen Xiao Cai was also a respected figure in Willow Town and Sha County. Being treated so coldly at the capital city, he couldn't help but feel a little upset.
Ji Yun An blushed with embarrassment. "I think we need to talk to the less fancy tea houses."
Ji Yun An loved Lu Lin's story so much that he had hopes for it, so he aimed high and only talked to the high-class tea houses, but he had learned it the hard way, maybe he needed to lower his expectations.
Ji Yun An and Chen Xiao Cai searched for a long time and finally found a tea house called Auspicious Cloud who was willing to give their story a chance.
Auspicious Cloud used to have an amazing storyteller who was poached away by a competitor, the current storyteller in the tea house was not as great as the old one.
Recently, the business in the tea house went downhill. When Ji Yun An pitched the story to the owner Zhao He, Zhao He thought this might be a favorable turn for the business.
Ji Yun An told Zhao He the first few stories, Zhao He was completely enchanted by them.
"It'll be popular. This story will definitely be popular."
Zhao He as overwhelmed with admiration for the excellent stories, he would clap his hands and exclaim from time to time. He even coaxed Ji Yun An into telling one more chapter after he was finished.
After Ji Yun An and Chen Xiao Cai left the tea house, they found a printing house and printed a few copies of the first volume of Journey to the West.
......
Auspicious Cloud's business had gone downhill recently, but they had a big customer base.
The new storyteller had won everyone's cheers after he told the first chapter of Journey to the West.
The customers who were thrilled about the new story demanded more chapters, but the storyteller knew the importance of 'trailing a long line in order to catch a big fish', so he asked the customers to stay tuned for more chapters.
More customers showed up in the tea house thanks to the customers who were there the day before, they did a good job promoting the story by word of mouth.
Five Colored Stones that could patch a hole in the sky, a peach that could help you become immortal, the almighty Golden Cudgel that weighed one hundred thousand kilos......
The customers were fascinated by the story.
Journey to the West had become the most heated topic everywhere in the city, and so was Auspicious Cloud Tea House.
The show had a full house for every performance.
As the owner of the tea house, Zhao He became famous.
Zhao He was originally very angry about the fact that his old storyteller was poached, but now he felt like that was a blessing in disguise. If the old storyteller weren't poached away, he might not be interested in giving Ji Yun An's story a chance considering how young Ji Yun An was.
Zhao He had received so many big tips recently.
