Volume 2: Chapter 15 of the Hundred Generations of Practice

"If you want to eat well, there are many big restaurants in Longyuan City, don't you choose them all? Why come to these shops? ”

Tao Yuan stroked Tao Yi's long hair.

"Is it delicious?" Tao blinked.

"Delicious is delicious...... It can be different from the one in the restaurant. ”

"We don't pursue the meticulousness of excellence. These casual side dishes also have a different flavor, right? Tao Yi turned around lightly, "This is my world, different from yours." ”

"We were born in the same world." Tao Yuan said with a smile.

……

The city lord of Tao couldn't resist Tao Yuan, and finally agreed to Tao Yi's mother and daughter moving back to their original residence.

Tao Yuan ran to his mother twice in three days, and the matter of cultivation had been put on hold for several days.

The Tao City Lord was very dissatisfied: "What you want, I will do." Now that your sister has moved to the vestibule and you play with her all day, when will you go to practice? ”

Tao Yuan flickered: "My sister and I rarely see each other...... Besides, I'm going to Master's soon...... Right away, right away......"

The Tao City Lord was really annoyed by Tao Yi.

Tao Yi said to Tao Yuan: "Listen to your father, our days together are still very long, and there is no shortage of these days......"

"I listen to my sister."

Life is back on track.

The return of Tao Yi's mother and daughter does not seem to have much impact, which makes Tao City Lord feel a little more at ease.

But on this day, I saw Tao Yuantao talking and laughing all the way, walking side by side, followed by two servants, holding a bunch of sundries in his arms.

The Tao City Lord put his hands behind his back and stood still.

"Daddy!" Tao Yuan smiled brightly.

"Daddy." Tao Yi bowed slightly.

"Hmm." City Lord Tao nodded faintly, "Where have you been again?" ”

"Today's homework is done." Tao Yuan said, "Our family hasn't eaten together for a few days, and my sister wants to have a family banquet, so we went to the market to buy fruits, vegetables, and fresh meat......

"Family Banquet!" City Lord Tao frowned, "Do all the bells and whistles all day!" ”

Tao Yi was a little embarrassed.

Tao Yuan immediately said: "Dad! We haven't eaten together in decades! Isn't it the right thing to do as a family to have a meal together? ”

"Daddy...... I learned a lot of cooking skills from my mother, and today I will cook a meal for you......" Tao Yi said with a smile.

"Hmph." The Tao City Lord turned his head, "Learn a lot of cooking!" Women, that's all there is to it! If you have attained self-cultivation, I will look down on you. ”

Tao City Lord left, Tao Yuan rubbed Tao Yi's head: "That's what my father says!" You can't stand it, can you? You have to think about me, how pitiful I have been scolded by him for twenty years! I'm so annoyed with him......"

Tao Yi couldn't help but smile: "Shhh Don't let Daddy hear ......"

At night, the Lord's Mansion.

The Tao City Lord sat at the table, touching a book in his handβ€”"The True Scripture of Refining Spirits".

Madame sat opposite, she was nearly forty years old at this time, but she was still twenty years old, except for a few strands of gray hair on her head, and her eyes were much calmer.

Madame did not say a word, but sat upright.

For a long time, the Tao City Lord couldn't sit still, put away the book, and asked, "I haven't seen you for many days, ...... Can there be progress in cultivation? ”

"Didn't the city lord say earlier that my qualifications were mediocre? Rao is my hard work, and it doesn't make much difference. Madame smiled slightly.

"Hmm." City Lord Tao nodded, "Yuan'er and Tao Yi have a very good relationship. ”

"After all, they are biological brothers and sisters, and blood is thicker than water." Madame glanced at the city lord.

"Having said that, you still tell Tao Yi that Yuan'er's cultivation is important, don't disturb him often......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The two of them talked with each other.

The kitchen is a different story.

Tao Yi is very familiar with the kitchen, and several servants are working on the side, and everything is carried out in an orderly manner.

But Tao Yuan often made trouble: "Yiyi, what is this, do you want to add it to it?" ”

"This is salt, add it when the dish is cooked."

"Yiyi, what kind of dish is this? It looks weird. ”

"This is a bamboo shoot, haven't you eaten it?"

"Wow...... Aren't bamboo shoots white? How so? ”

"You have to peel off the skin on the outside, so that the core on the inside can be eaten."

"Oh......"

Tao Yuan no longer asked Tao Yi questions, and Tao Yi could concentrate on cooking.

But as soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, he heard the maid exclaiming, "Young Master! The fish has to be scaled before it can be put in the pot......"

Tao Yuan scooped up the fish that was still swimming happily in the bucket and threw it into the pot......

"Daddy! Mother! Tao Yuan happily served the dish, "Our dish is ready!" ”

A large table of dishes was served one after another.

"There was originally a fish soup, but unfortunately I messed it up." Tao Yuan bowed his head slightly, "But it's okay, you guys can taste the dishes made by my sister and me!" ”

"Oops! It looks delicious, thank you! The city lord's wife laughed.

The four sat down.

The Tao City Lord tasted it slowly, but he only picked up the food in front of him, no matter what, he put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, silently.

"Daddy! Is it tasty! I make the delicious food, and the bad ones are made by my sister! Tao Yuan grinned.

"Humph!" Tao Yi pouted, "You're so thick-skinned!" It's good if you don't mess around......"

"How do you speak?" The Tao City Lord suddenly spoke.

Both of them were startled, and they both lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

"Yuan'er, how do I usually teach you? Is that how you talk to people? The Tao City Lord said lightly.

"Father......" Tao Yuan shrank his head, "I'm just joking with my sister......"

"It's okay, it's okay......" Tao Yi said, "Brother and I are laughing......"

"Eat and eat, what else do you say?" The lord of Tao City ate the dishes, "Eat without words and sleep without speaking." ”

The atmosphere fell silent.

Everyone ate only two or three bites.

The city lord of Tao put down the dishes and chopsticks: "Have you eaten everything?" ”

"Eat it." The people answered.

"Madam, Tao Yi, the two of you clean up, I have something to say to Yuan'er."

The city lord's wife's face changed.

Tao Yuan hurriedly said: "Dad! It's all a family, and if you have anything to say together...... Just leave the dishes and chopsticks to the next person to clean up......"

The Tao City Lord looked at Tao Yi: "You clean up, and the people who clean up, is there any difference?" ”

"Yes."

Tao Yi nodded slightly and began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks on the table.

"Dad......" Tao Yuan pulled Tao Yi over, "What's the matter, the family can't listen to it?" It's what the subordinates do, just let the subordinates do it......"

"How?" Tao City Lord sneered, "Tao Yi is the daughter of the City Lord of Longyuan City, and she can't even clean up the dishes and chopsticks?" Tao is young, deaf and clear-sighted, and dexterous, these things should be better than those of his subordinates......"
