Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

Chapter 28

After talking about business, Xu Huaiyi turned around and saw that his daughter had fallen asleep. She had a sweet dream, and she was smiling. She looked strange at first glance, but she still had a finger clenched in her little fist. …

Are you so reluctant to let go?

The only option was to break it apart by force. Xu Huaiyi did it as he said. He leaned over without hesitation, carefully opened his daughter's little fist, and then wrapped it gently in his palm.

After doing all this, he glanced at Gu Xiaoyu.

How to describe that look?Anyway, Gu Xiaoyu couldn't describe it, he just felt that the image of a brave and brave soldier that he had left to him when he first met Xu Huaiyi had collapsed again.

Demonstration with his eyes was not enough, Xu Huaiyi chuckled, "Are you not as strong as a baby? You can't pull out your finger if it is grabbed? Then from now on, whoever wants to bully you can do it?"

Gu Xiaoyu, "..."

He is not that weak and incompetent, and it is a matter of who is stronger?
But he didn't argue, because he always felt that it was a bit childish to do so.

Gu Huanxi had long been defeated by his childishness. She was afraid that he would say something even more childish, so she had to start chasing people away, "Okay, let's go cook, I'm hungry..."

His wife's words were an imperial edict, and Xu Huaiyi hurriedly agreed. However, when he left, he did not forget to call his son, "Xiaoyu, come with my father. My father will teach you how to cook."

Gu Huanxi's lips twitched when he heard his father's sarcastic voice. He really couldn't stand this enemy!He can compete with a four- or five-year-old child, which is really promising!
Gu Xiaoyu got off the kang with an expressionless face and followed numbly.

Very good. In addition to washing clothes, he will also learn how to cook in the future. In the future, he will not even have to learn how to cook, right?
Fortunately, the cooking shed was in the shade under the sycamore tree, otherwise just lighting a fire would have been a disaster. Xu Huaiyi rolled up his sleeves, washed pots and washed rice with dexterous hands and feet. While working, he muttered, "See me put How much rice is it? Too much is not good, it is too thick and mushy, like eating dry rice, too little is not good, the clear soup is watery, and it is tasteless and tasteless when you drink it. So much rice is just right with this much water. This is my I don’t tell most people about the valuable experience I have accumulated over the years, but now I share it with you for free..."

Gu Xiaoyu, "..."

He was not moved.

"Millet porridge is the most nourishing. Your mother is still in confinement, so it is best to drink this. Otherwise, it is hot now, so mung bean soup is more suitable, especially if it is sprinkled with sugar and chilled, it will be so refreshing..."

Gu Xiaoyu asked, "Is there an ice seller in this town?"

Xu Huaiyi said without changing his expression, "It's put in the well to cool down, don't you know? The temperature at the bottom of the well is much cooler than above. It's hot and the endless meals are put in a basket, tied with a rope, and hung It can last for several days at the bottom of a well..." After finishing his words, he clicked his tongue a few times and said with some disgust, "Not only are you weak, but your knowledge and knowledge are far from enough. From now on, you should learn from your father. ,Now you know?"

Gu Xiaoyu pursed his lips, "...Yes!"

After hitting the boy twice, Xu Huaiyi felt relieved. When the rice was boiling, he skillfully placed a grate on the pot, heated up the buns he bought at noon, and asked Gu Xiaoyu to watch the stove fire. He began to prepare for the evening Food to eat.

Tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, etc. couldn't be taken out, so he had to choose cucumbers and beans. He turned to Gu Xiaoyu and asked, "What vegetables do you like?"

Gu Xiaoyu said, "I listen to you..."

Xu Huaiyi nodded with satisfaction, "This is a good idea, and I will continue to maintain it in the future. Let me tell you, children must not be picky eaters. Picky eaters will not grow taller."

Gu Xiaoyu, "..."

He didn't know yet whether being picky eaters would affect his height, but he felt that he would learn a lot of strange knowledge from his father in the future.

Xu Huaiyi decided to make scrambled eggs with cucumbers and stir-fried bacon with beans. After deciding on the recipe, he quickly selected and washed the vegetables. When chopping the vegetables, he even showed off his knife skills, and then raised his eyebrows proudly at Gu Xiaoyu.

Gu Xiaoyu, "..."

He didn't realize that there was anything to show off and be proud of with excellent knife skills.

However, when the food came out of the pot, he smelled the aroma, and he couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect that his father was not a showman, but his cooking skills were really good?

Unable to hold back for a moment, he asked with confusion and curiosity, "Don't tell me, a gentleman is far away from the kitchen..."

When Xu Huaiyi heard this, he immediately seemed to have caught something of his pigtails, and said excitedly, "I said you are not good at learning, right? Listen, you are indeed wrong. If people outside hear your words, they will laugh at you. ..." Gu Xiaoyu blushed and bent down to salute, "Please ask father for advice."

Xu Huaiyi said proudly, "Tell me first, what does the gentleman mean by being far away from the chef?"

Gu Xiaoyu considered it and said, "It means that a gentleman needs to stay away from the kitchen chores of killing chickens, sheep, and cutting meat for cooking."

Xu Huaiyi frowned, "Don't you know this? Then why are you making a mistake?"

Gu Xiaoyu was confused.

In the room, Gu Huanxi couldn't stand listening anymore and shouted, "Is the meal ready?"

"Okay, okay, wife, are you hungry? I'll bring it in for you..." Xu Huaiyi could no longer care about the others and urged Gu Xiaoyu to help get the dishes and chopsticks.

Gu Xiaoyu, "..."

What can he do?Just obey.

The small table for eating was set up in the main room. When eating, there was no rule of not talking during eating or sleeping. To be precise, contrary to this rule, the conversation never stopped.

"Daughter-in-law, what do you think of the taste of these buns? Is it not as delicious as the stuffing I prepared?"

"Well, it's okay."

"You should eat more of these eggs, and just try one piece of bacon. The spices in it are too heavy, and you have to feed it to your daughter. We will open it up to eat later, so we should feel sorry for ourselves first..."

"I know. Eat yours quickly, Xiaoyu. Don't just eat the steamed buns, but also eat them with vegetables. Your father cooks a lot of vegetables..."

"Yes, thank you, mother..."

This was completely different from his previous days, but inexplicably, he felt that this seemed good. It was like the shackles were removed from his shoulders, and his body and mind became lighter.

When they were almost done eating, Gu Huanxi asked casually, "Xiaoyu, how many books have you read before?"

Gu Xiaoyu subconsciously wanted to stand up to answer, and then... held it back, but his voice was still a little respectful, "The Three Character Classic, the Hundred Family Surnames, and the Thousand Character Classic, I just started learning the Analects of Confucius." .”

Gu Huanxi nodded, "Well, you have read so many books at a young age. Compared with children of the same age, you are already ahead of them. It is very good..."

Gu Xiaoyu glanced at Xu Huaiyi and said, "Mother is so complimentary. My son's knowledge and knowledge are far from enough. He still needs to study hard with his father."

Xu Huaiyi, "..."

It feels contained.

Gu Huanxi suppressed laughter and asked again, "Then do you know where Junzi Yuan's words from the chef came from?"

Gu Xiaoyu shook his head.

Gu Huanxi said, "It comes from "Mencius". You haven't learned it yet. It's normal to not understand. The whole text is 'No harm is done. This is the art of benevolence. Seeing cattle does not see sheep. A gentleman is like an animal. Seeing its life, one cannot bear to see its death; hearing one's voice, one cannot bear to eat its flesh, so a gentleman stays far away from the kitchen.', what does it mean? It means that a gentleman should stay away from the killing of flesh and blood, and should have a benevolent heart. "You can't bear to see killing, so you stay away from the kitchen. It doesn't mean that a gentleman should not enter the kitchen or be ashamed of the cook."

Xu Huaiyi immediately agreed, "Yes, yes, that's what I meant before..."

Gu Xiaoyu, "..."

Why hadn't he heard it before?
