return of the king

The sound of washing and cutting vegetables came from the kitchen, and Yin Li was very happy when she heard it.

The boys are cooking in the kitchen and they are waiting outside to eat, it feels so good!

Compared with Yin Li's excitement, Li Xiumei seemed much calmer.After all, Li Xi was already used to them in the kitchen.

After a while, a scent wafted from the kitchen, and Li Xi praised: "It smells delicious, and I feel that Dafu's cooking is also great!"

Seeing Yin Li smiled, Li Xiumei and Cao Dagui also laughed, but their smiles were forced.

They were ashamed to tell Yin Li that even they disliked the dishes made by Dafu, and it is estimated that Yin Li would not like them either.

Having said that, but this scent... feels a little different from the scent that Dafu usually emits when cooking. It seems that Lixi's hand is not the same.

After a while, Dafu brought out the dishes.

Zhou Lixi also came out and carried Yin Li to the dining table to sit down.

"It looks really good." Yin Li praised again.

Not only does it smell good, but it also looks good, and the taste is definitely not bad. Yin Li has plans to steal it first.

Li Xiumei and others who came over felt strange when they saw the dishes on the table.

This seems to be "a little bit" different from what Dafu usually cooks. The fried dishes of Dafu will be tangled together, looking messy, and I am not even in the mood to eat.

But this time when the dishes were served, they seemed to have been deliberately handled, and they were presented in a pleasing shape, which was like Zhou Lixi's style.

correct!Li Xi gave Dafu a hand, this may be the result of Li Xi's guidance!

Thinking of this, the doubts in Li Xiumei's heart finally dissipated.

After putting Yin Li down, Li Xi went into the kitchen to help bring out the dishes.

Seeing that Li Xi was still setting up a set of bowls and chopsticks in front of everyone, she couldn't help sighing, "This is the first time I've seen Li Xi so obediently helping in the kitchen, serving dishes and arranging the bowls and chopsticks. It’s a matter of great fortune.”

She had heard Li Xiumei mention Li Xi's cooking at their house before, and she was surprised at that time, but she did not expect to be mentally prepared.She was still amazed to see it with her own eyes.

Only Dafu can make Lixi change and do this.

She praised Dafu for her words, but in the ears of Cao's family, it seemed to be a complaint of blaming Dafu.

Li Xiumei broke into a cold sweat immediately, and hurriedly explained: "It's none of Dafu's business, we asked Li Xi to do this." Li Xi had already done this before Dafu came back.

He put the responsibility on himself, lest Yin Li blame Dafu.

Feeling Li Xiumei's carefulness, Yin Li had a headache.

"You really don't need to think too much. I said that if I agree with Dafu, I won't embarrass him. What I said to you is literally. Don't get me wrong that I have other ideas. I need to always be on the alert." Yin Li smiled wryly .

In business and at Zhou's house, she always spoke insincerely, but she decided to relax when she came to Cao's house. She didn't expect that what she said outright would be misunderstood. She really couldn't laugh or cry.

"Is that so, haha..." Li Xiumei smiled dryly to hide her embarrassment.

"Stop talking, we can eat." Zhou Lixi's words completely ended this meaningless conversation.

The three elders of the Cao family, Dafu, she and Lixi, there are five people in total, but there are seven bowls and chopsticks on the dining table.

Yin Li said pleasantly: "The two children can eat by themselves?!"

Lao Wang and Xiao Hui, who were going to sit down, froze after hearing this, and did not dare to sit down.

In the Cao family, they always eat together as master and servant. The Cao family doesn't care about these details, but the Zhou family is a real "big family", and it's normal to have "strict rules".

In this case, Yin Li eats with them, and those hired people cannot eat with them in the past.

Li Xiumei paused, and after understanding Yin Li's meaning, she smiled apologetically at Lao Wang and Xiao Hui who were standing aside: I'm sorry, I have wronged you for the time being.

The meaning of her smile was to tell Pharaoh and Xiaohui not to go to eat. With her hint, Pharaoh and Xiaohui were relieved, otherwise they didn't know what to do.

Noticing that the atmosphere became very strange, Yin Li asked strangely: "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Knowing that the Cao family was "cowardly", Yin Li could guess what she had said before they became so cautious.

Not only the three elders of the Cao family, but even Dafu agreed with Li Xiumei's decision, and he also planned to keep Lao Wang and Xiaohui from eating at the same table during this period of time.

It's not that Dafu looked down on them, but he was afraid that Yin Li would think it was an insult to her when the servants had dinner with her.

"Zhiri and Xinyu are full of milk, but Li Xi doesn't know." Li Xiumei borrowed Yin Li's words to imply that these two bowls and chopsticks are no longer needed.

As she spoke, she winked at Dafu.

I probably understood what she meant, and was about to pack up the two bowls and chopsticks.

Zhou Lixi reached out and grabbed Dafu, preventing him from putting away the bowls and chopsticks.

He made it clear that he wanted to tell the truth, Dafu winked at him and shook his head desperately.

But Zhou Lixi still insisted on his own opinion, intending to say what he wanted to say.

"Mom, do you think you shouldn't change the 'habits' of the Cao family when you come here?" He didn't say this directly, but used a question to draw out what he was about to say.

"Of course, I live here on loan. Of course, I can't ask them to accommodate me and change their habits just because I exist!"

With Yin Li's words, Zhou Lixi finally said what Li Xiumei and others wanted to hide: "At Cao's house, Lao Wang and Xiaohui they hired were eating with us. Although they took money from Cao's house , they are servants of Cao’s family in name, but neither of us treat them as outsiders. If you feel that this is downgrading and you don’t want to eat at the same table with them, I can take you back to your room and send your share of food to your room."

Yin Li eats alone in the room, so she won't see such a situation where master and servant are not separated.

"So it turned out that the two bowls and chopsticks were prepared for them?" Yin Li was taken aback.

She heard from Li Xi that the Cao family didn't treat them as outsiders, and she didn't mind eating at the same table with them.

During this time, when she was playing with the children in the park, she discovered that the two of them had a very good relationship with the Cao family, and also saw that there was no distinction between them as master and servant. This time, listening to what Li Xi said this time, it was very important for Li Xi to give Given the two choices, she didn't hesitate at all.

She turned her head and greeted Lao Wang and Xiao Hui who were standing aside, "Come and have dinner together, since the Cao family regards you as their own family, for me, you are also my family."

Xiaohui said timidly: "No need, Mrs. Zhou, you eat first, we are not hungry, we will eat later."

Lao Wang echoed, "Yes, yes."

"I said, you really don't need to change anything just because of my appearance, you are what you were before." Yin Li reiterated her thoughts.

"Old Wang, Xiaohui, come here." Zhou Lixi also spoke.

Although his tone seemed to be giving them an order, everyone knew that he only said such words to take care of them.

Despite Zhou Lixi and Yin Li's words, Lao Wang and Xiaohui still dare not go over.

Seeing Yin Li's determined expression, Li Xiumei gritted her teeth and said, "Old Wang, Xiao Hui, come over to have dinner with me. Yin Li is a good person, she will do whatever she says, and she won't embarrass you afterwards."

Li Xiumei's words made Yin Li feel ashamed.

She does not embarrass others afterwards, but she can't bear the title of "good person".

Lao Wang and Xiao Hui plucked up the courage to sit at the same dinner table with Yin Li after everyone persuaded them.

Yin Li didn't make a move, and the others didn't dare to put down the chopsticks, but Yin Li saw that the master didn't set down the chopsticks, so she didn't start, so she remained in a stalemate, and no one moved the chopsticks.

"Yin Li, you are a guest, you use it first."

"It is precisely because I am the guest and you are the hosts, so let's start first."

"Do not……"

The two women shied away for a long time, Zhou Lixi sighed, he stood up and put something for Cao Dasheng, another for Li Xiumei, and another for his mother, and finally he looked at Dafu gently and put it in the Dafu bowl. After eating something that Dafu likes, he sat down with a smile on his face.

Obviously, Dafu is the person Zhou Lixi most wants to pick up food.

Cao Dasheng picked up what Li Xi put in the bowl, and said with a smile, "Eat them all, let's eat together, you're welcome!"

Seeing Cao Dasheng moved his hands, everyone put down their chopsticks.

After tasting the taste, the members of the Cao family, including Lao Wang and Xiao Hui, paused.

This taste is obviously made by Zhou Lixi's craftsmanship, but today's standard is just a little bit worse.

Yin Li didn't know what they were thinking, and after eating, she happily said: "It's not bad, it tastes like Li Xi's cooking! It seems that Li Xi's cooking is so good because of Dafu's teaching."

Although Dafu's cooking skills are a little worse than Li Xi's, Yin Li believes that Li Xi's cooking skills are learned from Dafu, but her son is so good that he is better than blue.

Li Xiumei lowered her head and ate silently, without speaking.

She thought to herself: Dafu's credit was right when Li Xi knew how to cook, but it wasn't the credit of Dafu's teaching.

Dafu lowered his head in shame, and said frankly: "Actually, I just wash and chop the vegetables, and stir them a few times. Lixi can decide when the seasoning can be added, and he is the one who does the cooking, and the one who serves the dishes." People are also him."

This is what Zhou Lixi gave at the time, but unfortunately his family soon saw through it, and he was embarrassed to hide it from Yin Li, so he had to confess.

"Oh." Yin Li responded lightly, without saying much.

But from her happy expression, everyone can see that she is not only not angry, but also seems to be very excited.

Li Xi was worried that Da Cai's cooking would be disliked by her, so she helped her. Her son has learned to pamper others. Can Yin Li not be excited? !

Seeing that Yin Li didn't blame himself, Dafu felt even more guilty. He would have known that no matter how unpalatable the cooking was, he would not have used Zhou Lixi's idea.

Zhou Lixi ignored what they thought, anyway, he was the one who benefited the most this time.Not only did he fulfill his dream of cooking with Dafu, but he also exchanged the condition of helping to cook for Dafu to take the initiative.
