Su Yun ate most of the rabbit by herself, Liu Xiaoyuan ate only a little of the remaining half, and Su Xue ate the rest.
It was only then that Liu Xiaoyuan realized that both sisters were foodies.
"Liu Xiaoyuan, can you teach me how to cook?" Su Xue suddenly said.
Liu Xiaoyuan's cooking skills were only so-so, and the taste of his dishes was just average. However, he was more than qualified to be Su Xue's chef.
"As an apprentice, you naturally have to be respectful to your master, do you understand?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked Su Xue with a smile.
Su Xue looked at Liu Xiaoyuan and asked, "How should we show our filial piety?"
Liu Xiaoyuan thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you give me a back massage and a shoulder massage first?"
Damn it, if I don't take advantage of this great opportunity to properly discipline you, this ice queen, it would be such a waste.
Upon hearing this, Su Xue's face immediately turned cold. Asking her to do this was absolutely out of the question.
Seeing Su Xue's face turn cold, Liu Xiaoyuan was still a little worried, fearing that this woman would take action.
"What? Don't want to furrow your brow and cook? If you don't want to learn, fine, I'm too lazy to teach you!" After waiting a while, Liu Xiaoyuan saw that Su Xue hadn't started cooking, so he knew she wouldn't, and that's when he said that.
Su Xue was having a fierce internal struggle. She really wanted to learn how to cook because the rabbit meat that Liu Xiaoyuan cooked for lunch today was so fragrant and delicious, so much better than the rabbit meat she used to roast over a fire.
However, Su Xue was extremely unwilling to serve Liu Xiaoyuan and massage his back and shoulders.
What should she do? Su Xue was caught in a deep dilemma.
"I'm going home now, Su Yun. Come visit your big brother sometime!" Liu Xiaoyuan stood up, clapped his hands, and then walked outside.
Seeing this, Su Xue grabbed Liu Xiaoyuan's hand, preventing him from leaving.
"Hey, what are you doing? Don't do anything reckless, I'm a respectable man." Liu Xiaoyuan said to Su Xue.
Seeing Liu Xiaoyuan's grinning face, Su Xue wanted nothing more than to kick him away, but remembering that she still needed his cooking skills, she had to swallow her anger.
"Sit down, I'll give you a back massage and shoulder rub!" Su Xue said with a hint of dissatisfaction.
Hehe! I thought you, the Ice Queen, wouldn't surrender. Well, look what happened, you're still completely under my thumb.
"An apprentice should act like an apprentice. If you speak to your master in that tone next time, your master will be very angry." Liu Xiaoyuan continued to instruct Su Xue. He couldn't waste such a good opportunity. Now Liu Xiaoyuan was certain that Su Xue wouldn't actually do anything in order to learn cooking skills.
Su Xue was furious, but she held back because she wanted to enjoy such delicious rabbit meat every day in the future.
"Hmph! Liu Xiaoyuan, I'll settle this score with you after I learn how to cook!" Su Xue thought coldly to herself.
Liu Xiaoyuan sat down again, and seeing that Su Xue still hadn't moved, he couldn't help but say, "Disciple, what's going on? Don't you know that time is money?"
Su Xue stood behind Liu Xiaoyuan, glared at him fiercely, and then placed her hands on his shoulders, preparing to massage them.
Su Xue had never done this kind of work before, so when she started, she used a little more force. Liu Xiaoyuan, who was sitting in the chair and was about to enjoy Su Xue's service, suddenly cried out in pain.
"You're such a tomboy, don't you know how to go easy on me?" Liu Xiaoyuan turned around and said irritably.
Although Su Xue was angry and wanted to stop serving Liu Xiaoyuan immediately, she had to hold back when she thought that she would still need Liu Xiaoyuan to learn how to cook.
"Pinch gently, yes, pinch like that, pinch slowly..." Liu Xiaoyuan learned from his mistake this time and slowly guided Su Xue.
Under Liu Xiaoyuan's guidance, Su Xue quickly mastered the technique of shoulder massage. Although her technique was not yet proficient, she made great progress.
Seeing how obedient Su Xue had become under his tutelage, Liu Xiaoyuan felt a surge of accomplishment.
After Su Xue finished massaging Liu Xiaoyuan's back and shoulders, she said, "Now can you teach me how to cook?"
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "You don't have any other dishes here, how can I learn? How about this, come to my house this afternoon, I have a lot of dishes at home, you can practice!"
"Want to learn at your house?" Su Xue seemed reluctant.
Liu Xiaoyuan nodded and said, "What? You don't want to? If you don't want to, then forget it!"
Seeing Liu Xiaoyuan say this, Su Xue had no choice but to agree again.
Liu Xiaoyuan returned home in an exceptionally good mood. Today, he had been served by Su Xue, the ice queen, and he had finally gotten revenge for the bullying she had caused him in the past.
Just then, Liu Xiaoyuan's phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that it was Zhao Qianhai calling.
Zhao Qianhai is the head of the provincial calligraphy association and also holds a position in the national calligraphy association, making him a renowned calligrapher. Last time in the provincial capital, Liu Xiaoyuan summoned Emperor Huizong of Song, whose masterful use of the "Slender Gold" style of calligraphy stunned Zhao Qianhai's student.
Finally, even Zhao Qianhai was impressed by Liu Xiaoyuan's calligraphy and invited Liu Xiaoyuan to his home for further instruction.
Could it be that Zhao Qianhai called me again this time because of calligraphy?
Thinking this, Liu Xiaoyuan answered the phone, "Hello, Mr. Zhao, what's the matter?"
A hearty laugh immediately came from the other end of the phone as Zhao Qianhai said, "Mr. Liu, this is Zhao Qianhai, do you remember me?"
Zhao Qianhai's words made it sound like a junior was calling an elder, which made Liu Xiaoyuan feel quite embarrassed.
“Oh dear! Mr. Zhao, how could I not remember you? Didn’t I call you Mr. Zhao from the beginning?” Liu Xiaoyuan said.
"Look at me, I'm getting old and my head is getting fuzzy. Mr. Liu, please don't take offense!" Zhao Qianhai said self-reproachfully.
"It's nothing," Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, then asked, "Mr. Zhao, is there something you need when you call me today?"
Zhao Qianhai said, "There's something I need to tell you..."
Then, Zhao Qianhai explained his situation. It turned out that a calligraphy conference was to be held in Beijing in a couple of days. In simpler terms, it was a gathering of calligraphers from all over the country to get to know each other, strengthen relationships, and exchange professional knowledge on calligraphy.
Zhao Qianhai wanted to invite Liu Xiaoyuan to go to Beijing to complain about this calligraphy conference.
Liu Xiaoyuan naturally refused. He knew nothing about calligraphy, so what could he do there? He just stood aside and listened to Zhao Qianhai and the others pointing and commenting on a piece of calligraphy.
"Mr. Zhao, I'd better not go. I have other things to do and can't get away." Liu Xiaoyuan refused directly.
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's reluctance, Zhao Qianhai immediately said, "Mr. Liu, you must go! I've told several of my friends about your situation, and they all said they want to ask you for advice. Mr. Liu, you absolutely must go; I'm begging you, old man!"
