Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Chapter 128 Lou Tan wants to tell fortunes

"Then I'm not welcome!"

As she spoke, Lou Tan picked up a sea cucumber and started to taste it. As soon as the sea cucumber entered her mouth, a satisfied smile appeared on her face. "This braised black sea cucumber is good, soft, sticky and smooth, with a rich and fresh juice. It's really fragrant and delicious. Xiao He, you have really learned a lot. The taste is really good." Lou Tan praised.

Hearing the compliment, Sha Zhu was very happy, "Aunt Lou, you are really an expert, thank you for the compliment."

"Haha, Xiao He, you're welcome. You guys can try it too." Lou Tan said.

So, in a flash, the sea cucumbers prepared according to the number of people on the plate were gone.

Everyone who ate the sea cucumber praised its taste, which made Sha Zhu very happy.

Soon, under the leadership of Lou Tan, everyone finished eating a table of dishes and learned the origin of Tan's cuisine.

"Today's meal was really worth it. Not only did I enjoy delicious dishes, but I also learned about the origins of the dishes. I will come here often in the future," said Xu Damao.

"Big Brother, you are talking without any pain in your waist. You are always like this. Can you afford it often? You have money but nowhere to buy it." Sha Zhu said contemptuously.

"Okay, I can't beat you in cooking, so I won't say anything more."

"Just admit defeat."

"Xiao'e, what about Damao and Xiaohe?" Lou Tan asked puzzledly.

"Mom, they are mortal enemies. I feel like something is missing if they don't fight over a meal," said Lou Xiao'e.

"Is that so? I thought there was something else?" Lou Tan said, "By the way, I heard they are all Xiao Li's masters, I wonder what they are learning?"

"Hey, Damao is learning martial arts, and Shazhu is learning cooking." Lou Xiao'e said casually.

"Oh? So Xiao Li knows a lot of things? I heard that you can also tell fortunes, right?" asked Lou Tan.

"Haha, I learned it for fun, it's not worth mentioning." Li Kangri said politely.

"You can't say that. My Xiao'e said you are very good at fortune-telling. Can you tell me a fortune?"

"Yes, yes, but..."

"But you have to show some respect, otherwise it won't work," Xu Damao interrupted, "right, Master?"

"Oh, I understand this, I understand. Old Lou, do you have money with you?" asked Lou Tan.

"I brought it, I brought it," said Lou Bancheng.

Under the shocked gazes of the two men, Lou Bancheng took out a gold bar and placed it in front of Li Kangri.

On the side, Yu Li opened her eyes wide with an incredible expression, "Brother Zhuzi, isn't this too exaggerated?" Yu Li asked in a low voice.

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive. I spent a thousand to test one word!" Sha Zhu replied in a low voice.

"What? Is it true? Why?" Yu Li asked in a low voice.

"Go home and tell them. Just watch quietly."

Another person who was surprised was Wang Yue. She didn't know that Li Kangri would do this, and it was a gold bar, but she didn't say anything.

"What does Aunt Lou want to test?" Li Kangri asked.

"I don't have anything else to do. I have enjoyed everything I should have in my life. The only regret is that I haven't held my grandson yet. So I just want to ask Xiao'e about having children, when she will have a child, and whether it will be a boy or a girl." Lou Tan said.

"Mom," Lou Xiao'e whispered, "Da Mao just said that Xiao Li has given the medicine, so there should be no problem. Why not test something else?"

"That's it. That's all I have to say now. Is that ok, Xiao Li?"

"Haha, Aunt Lou, you pay me to do something, just do as you like, just write!"

So, Lou Tan wrote a word on a piece of paper and handed it to Li Kangri.

When they saw the word "Zi", Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e were very disappointed. Last time, it was this word that predicted Xu Damao's infertility, and this time it was this word again. Even Lou Xiao'e felt that her mother did it on purpose, because she had told her parents everything that happened last time.

"Well, not bad. You see, the character 'zi' you wrote is very full, especially the horizontal stroke, with a slight hook at the end. This indicates that it is going to be combined with something. I think it is naturally the character 'hai'. The character 'hai' means child. You asked whether it is a boy or a girl, and 'zi' comes first, so it must be a 'zi'. As for the time of birth, 'zi' represents twelve, so it will probably be around December this year." Li Kangri said.

"December, that's still more than nine months away, Master, do you mean Ezi will be pregnant this month?" Xu Damao said excitedly.

"That's what it says, but I don't know the details," said Li Kangri.

"Really?" asked Lou Tan.

"The truth will be clear when the day comes," Li Kangri said mysteriously, "and I have figured out what the child's name will be."

"What's your name?" Xu Lou and the others asked hurriedly.

"Haha, just a single character, Xiao, Xu Xu Xu Xiao." Li Kangri said.

"No, how did you know I wanted to name myself with the character Xiao?" Lou Xiao'e was shocked. "I just thought that I could add the character Xiao to Damao's last name and call myself Xu Xiao!"

"Hey, Master is so great," Xu Damao said with a smile, "Thank you for the name, Master. My son will be called Xu Xiao from now on. That little junior brother, big brother, I am going to have a son too. Hahahaha, aren't you envious?"

As he said this, Xu Damao looked at Sha Zhu provocatively.

"My God, maybe my wife is already pregnant! Why are you showing off?"

After saying that, Sha Zhu looked at Li Kangri and said, "Master, don't you know medical skills? Can you take Lily's pulse?"

"You two! Okay, put your hands here!" Li Kangri said.

So Yu Li walked over nervously and handed her hand to Li Kangri.

After taking her pulse for a while, Li Kangri said with a smile, "Zhu Zi, it's OK! It hasn't been long, and Lily is already pregnant."

"What?" Xu Damao shouted, "No way, we've only been married for a few days! Junior brother, you're taking it too far!"

"Hey, Master, how about you tell me whether it's a boy or a girl?" Sha Zhu said embarrassedly, "I just don't have any gold bars, you see..."

"It must be a female. No need to test. She came so quickly, so she must be a female." Xu Damao said immediately.

"Go, stay aside, who do you think you are? Master has to tell fortunes!"

"Okay, your fee will be waived, but you have to teach your master, the Tan family dishes. You must learn all of them. Is there a problem?"

"Really?" Sha Zhu said with a smile, "That's no problem, Lily, write something quickly, write something about giving birth to a son."

So, Yu Li took the pen handed to her by Sha Zhu and started writing.

Yu Li quickly wrote the word "生" (birth), and then pushed it over, "Master, I also want to give Zhuzi a son, so I wrote the word "生" (birth), can you take a look at it?"

After saying that, Yu Li waited expectantly, and Sha Zhu also stared at Li Kangri, as if he was expecting a son.

On the side, Xu Damao also waited quietly, shouting in his heart, "Daughter, daughter, daughter..."
