Quick travel: the leisurely life of cannon fodder

"Bang!"

"Daiyu, that's sugar, you didn't put it in."

"Sister, I only downloaded a little bit, really just a little bit."

"Hey! Be careful!"

"Oh!"

......

After a period of chaos, the smell of rice and medicine finally wafted from the kitchen.

"Hu~~"

Mu Xi let out a deep breath.

I was so tired, but I finally finished cooking a meal. I thought that since it was Daiyu's first time cooking, I would teach her a simple stew. I just stewed the ingredients in one pot and adjusted the flavor myself, and it would be done.

Who knew that this girl would insist on coming by herself.

Now, the rice smells good, but I don’t know what Daiyu secretly put in it when I wasn’t paying attention. The most obvious thing is that the color is wrong. What the hell is this colorful rice?

Anyway, I won’t be the first one to try it. As for my father, I’ll just have to wish you good luck!

"Crack!"

"Come in and prepare tonight's meal, and serve the stewed rice and medicinal food we made."

Mu Xi opened the door and spoke to the cook, then left.

Daiyu smiled and left with Mu Xi. She was so happy in her heart. It was great that her sister was back and there was someone to play with her.

When the cook came in and saw the steamed rice already on plates, he breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately this rice was not for them.

I also prayed silently in my heart!

Good luck to you sir!

night!

Lin Ruhai, Mu Xi and Daiyu sat in front of the dining table which was filled with dinner.

"You two did all this?"

Lin Ruhai was puzzled. How come there was nothing different from usual, except for that unknown new dish?

"Dad, what are you thinking about? These are all made by the cook. Daiyu only made one dish."

Mu Xi said with a smile.

"Dad, please try it. I see this rice has five colors, so I named it Five Blessings."

Daiyu introduced the stewed rice with great interest, and at the same time did not forget to serve a large bowl to her old father.

Lin Ruhai swallowed his saliva, feeling a bad premonition, and spoke softly.

"Yu'er, have you ever tasted what this stewed rice tastes like?"

"No, I want Dad to have the first bite. This is all from my daughter's heart. I will cook often in the future to show my filial piety to Dad."

Lin Daiyu said gently, her eyes urging Lin Ruhai to have a taste.

Lin Ruhai saw his little daughter's expectant look and took a small bite.

The expression on his face paused and slightly twisted. Why is this so sour, salty and bitter?

In order not to hurt his daughter's feelings, Lin Ruhai reluctantly swallowed the food in his mouth.

"Daddy, isn't it delicious?"

Lin Daiyu looked at Lin Ruhai nervously and asked softly, with a somewhat sad expression.

"Yu'er, it's great that you can make it successfully for the first time!"

"Yu'er must be hungry too, so you should eat soon!"

Lin Ruhai quickly denied it and changed the subject.

Mu Xi looked at Daiyu, who seemed a little sad again. Her sensitive personality was really hard to describe.

She wants to cry at the slightest provocation and lacks the beating of life. I will arrange martial arts lessons for Daiyu in a few days!

Mu Xi looked at the dark dish and didn't want to try it herself, so she helped to change the subject!

"Sister, you've been busy for so long today. You must be hungry, come and eat!"

Mu Xi spoke gently as she picked up a few dishes for Lin Daiyu using the public chopsticks.

Lin Daiyu wanted to say something but stopped herself, stunned by the sudden concern from her father and sister.

Then I started eating happily, thinking I would eat after I was full!

Seeing that Lin Daiyu had given up on letting them try, Mu Xi and Lin Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief and started eating as well. From time to time, they picked up some food for Lin Daiyu just to shut her up and stop talking about the braised rice!

After dinner, the servants brought two bowls of black medicine.

"Master, this was prepared by the eldest lady. I have asked the court physician to check it according to your instructions. It can indeed strengthen the body." Butler Lin said.

Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu looked at the health-preserving soup and became nervous unconsciously.

"Xi'er, is this really effective? You didn't remember the prescription correctly, why is it so dark?"

Lin Ruhai asked loudly.

"That's it, drink it quickly, while it's hot..."

Mu Xi said firmly that she did not lie, but the original herbs were out of stock in the warehouse, so she had to find some substitutes, and then it turned out like this.

It just looks a little ugly and may taste a little bitter, but it's not a big problem, the medicinal effect is still great.

Seeing that her sister kept urging her, Lin Daiyu decided not to waste her sister's kindness, so she picked up the spoon and took a small sip. The bitter taste at first made Lin Daiyu, who had been taking medicine for many years, frown.

This is too bitter!

But I can still accept it. I'm used to the bitter taste.

Seeing that Lin Daiyu had started drinking, Lin Ruhai took a sip himself.

"cough!"

The bitter taste spread on the tip of his tongue and Lin Ruhai choked slightly.

"The storeroom didn't have the herbs I was looking for, so I used other herbs instead. That's why it's a little bitter. Can I give you some sugar next time? It won't be so bitter if you swallow it in one gulp. It really makes me anxious to see you spoonful after spoonful."

Mu Xi explained.

And next time?

Better say goodbye!

After hearing what Mu Xi said, Lin Ruhai and Daiyu quickly rinsed their mouths after drinking it in one gulp.

"Father is in good health, Xi'er, please don't prepare anything for him."

Lin Ruhai said to Mu Xi solemnly.

Daiyu heard this and looked at Lin Ruhai dimly. She didn't expect her father to be afraid of hardship. Then he abandoned her and let her bear the love of her sister alone.

"Sister, I also..."

"There is no room for negotiation. You two must drink. Look at your faces, so pale..."

Mu Xi interrupted Daiyu and started talking in a rambling manner.

Seeing that he couldn't dissuade Mu Xi from making health-preserving soup, Lin Ruhai had to give up. Since he couldn't argue with his daughter, he could only obey her.

I don’t know when these days will end.

Upon hearing this, Daiyu could only be submissive and accept her sister's care.

The next day, when Lin Ruhai got up, he felt light and he slept well last night. It seems that Xier's health-preserving soup is really effective, but it would be better if it tasted better.

After Lin Ruhai finished breakfast with his two daughters, the servants brought up two more bowls of medicine. This time it was even more excessive, as the medicine was dark green in color.

"Xi'er, why is it different from yesterday?"

Lin Ruhai asked.

Lin Daiyu looked at this strange health-preserving soup, her face turned pale. She didn't know what the medicine tasted like, but she could smell the sour taste from a distance.

"Dad, this is another kind of health-preserving soup, which is used in conjunction with the bowl from last night. This time, my daughter specially added sugar, so it shouldn't be too bitter."

Mu Xi replied with a smile, and at the same time urged the two to drink quickly.

Lin Ruhai glanced at Mu Xi suspiciously. Was his daughter sure she didn’t want to make trouble for him by cooking such a disgusting drink?

But when he saw Daiyu's face had become a little rosier, he took the medicine and swallowed it.

As soon as the dark green medicine entered his mouth, Lin Ruhai's facial features wrinkled vividly.

This time it was indeed not very bitter, but it was sour and mixed with sweetness. The sour, sweet and bitter tasted blended together and the taste was very strange.

"Water, send some mouthwash over here."

After Lin Ruhai finished drinking, he immediately ran to rinse his mouth, and he couldn't even maintain his usual calmness.
