”Although these ingredients are ordinary, in terms of luxury, His Majesty probably can't even compare to the cook who invented this dish!” Zhuge Liang clicked his tongue.

”Of course.” Xiao Wen thought. After all, the more productive a place was, the higher the standard of living. The ancient emperors, apart from having more women and not having to do their own chores, actually lived in many places with a lower quality of life than a modern commoner.

Of course, if a commoner was too impulsive and did not plan to spend the money socially, it was not impossible for him to spend it on finding a wife and receive a harem every month.

”Hmm …” I mean the kind that's inflatable.

After inwardly complaining about the backward ancient society, Xiao Wen returned to reality.

However, in the time it took for him to fall into a trance for a few seconds, that small pot of boiled water cabbage had all been divided among the kids, not leaving a single bit for Xiao Wen.

”Hey!” Where is your respect for your teacher? I finally managed to make it. Do you know how hard it was for me to make the soup? ” Xiao Wen complained loudly.

However, everyone knew Xiao Wen's personality. Although he was complaining, he actually didn't take it to heart.

Thus, when Sun Shangxiang heard Xiao Wen's shout, she only looked at him once and said: ”The boiled cabbage mister has cooked is so delicious! ”It smells so good!”

”Thank you, sir.”

”Thank you for your hard work, sir.”

”After we finish eating, we'll give you a good beating!”

”Why did I accept you as my students?” Seeing the group of kids betraying him for the sake of food, Xiao Wen wanted to cry, but no tears came out.

But even so, Xiao Wen still turned his grief into his appetite and joined in on the feast. He swept clean the remaining delicacies in one go.

After he was done eating, Xiao Wen looked at Sun Shangxiang, who had just provoked Xiao Wen the most, and decided to let her clean up the dishes.

”I'm a young miss of a noble family, how could I do such a thing?” Sun Shangxiang had initially refused.

However, Xiao Wen's expression turned cold. He turned to Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang and asked, ”Guan Yu, where is Zhuge Liang?”

”The student is here!” Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang said in unison.

”Get ready to tickle!”

”Yes sir!”

For some reason, when the two little fellows heard about the tickling punishment, their eyes seemed to flicker with excitement.

Indeed, although Sun Shangxiang had entered the school late, she was still the most sociable student. After she had merged into the group, she had become like a big sister. Not only did she often treat Wan'er as her pillow, bullying Zhuge Liang and Li Zicheng, teasing Yang Xiu, opposing Guan Yu in all kinds of ways, but she also frequently did all kinds of naughty things.

Therefore, when they found the opportunity to bully Sun Shangxiang, although Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang didn't say anything on the surface, they were still looking forward to it in their hearts.

Looking at the malicious intent in their eyes, Sun Shangxiang could only obey.

She could only pout and run pitifully to wash the dishes.

Alas, who told her to dance so happily just now?

Fortunately, the water pipe in the Xiao family's kitchen and bathroom were connected to a boiler. The water pipe of the boiler is made of copper instead of lead.

This water pipe system was originally only a pilot type at home. But after laying it for a bit, Zhou Xian felt the cost was too high and abandoned it.

Today, Xiao Wen took some time to modify the system so that it could operate normally. Thus, there was an unending stream of warm running water in the house.

Therefore, washing dishes in winter wasn't too painful.

Just as Sun Shangxiang was pushing a pile of plates and bowls into the kitchen with a cart, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.
