Ren Yaoqi hurriedly smiled and said, "Grandfather, the dishes on the table today are all my granddaughter's favorites. Don't you like them?"
Li Gan took another careful look and said, "Well, glutinous rice stuffed duck, first-class tofu, three-immortal meatballs, golden mushrooms and pickled mustard greens. These are quite good. Since you like them, I won't change them. Your mother didn't come back today, so we'll do it next time."
So, finally nothing went wrong and we finished the meal peacefully.
After dinner, Ren Yaoqi sat next to Rong and drank tea with Li Gan and Li Tianyou in the main room.
Li Gan said, "Rong, remember to give Qiu Sheng three thousand taels of silver later."
Rong paused while holding the teacup, then asked calmly and gently, "Is there anything you need to buy?"
Li Tianyou heard this and began to speak excitedly, "Mom, Dad and I have our eyes on a fighting cock. It's a very majestic cock, said to have never lost a battle and has been dubbed the ever-victorious general. We finally managed to negotiate the price down to three thousand taels and agreed to buy it this afternoon."
Rong smiled and said, "Oh, so you want to eat chicken. I'll ask the kitchen to make it tonight. Crispy chicken or stewed soup in a pot?"
Li Tianyou was stunned for a moment, then said, "Mom, this chicken isn't for eating, it's for..."
Rong placed the tea bowl in her hand on the kang table neither lightly nor heavily, and the crisp sound made Li Tianyou subconsciously pause.
"Oh? Not for eating? Then what is it used for?" Rong's voice was still gentle, with a hint of persuasion.
Li Tianyou swallowed his saliva and was speechless. He could only secretly wink at Li Gan.
Rong also followed Li Tianyou's gaze and looked at Li Gan.
"Master, if chicken is not for eating, what else can it be used for? Can you tell me about it?" Rong said with a gentle smile.
Li Gan looked at his son, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then said: "Rong's..."
"Um?"
"For eating, make soup and don't forget to add some sea cucumbers." Li Gan continued calmly.
Li Tianyou was stunned, his eyes almost cramped, but his father didn't seem to see him, just lowered his head to drink tea.
Rong smiled and said softly, "Yes, sir, I understand."
Li Tianyou looked at his father and then at his mother, and finally covered his face with his hands twitching miserably.
Ren Yaoqi wanted to laugh but felt it was inappropriate, so he could only lower his head.
When coming out of Rong's house, Ren Yaoqi happened to meet Li Gan and Li Tianyou, father and son, who were hiding in the corner and talking while trying to urinate.
"Dad, you have already promised Master Wen San to buy the chicken. What should we do now? If we go too late, it will be bought by someone else." Li Tianyou was a little anxious.
Li Gan's voice remained calm, revealing a hint of elegance from his bones: "You'er, you're obsessed."
"What?"
"It's just a chicken, the difference between stewing it in soup and braising it. If someone else bought it, then they bought it. Why be so stubborn?"
Li Tianyou paused for a moment, then finally exploded, pointing at Li Gan and angrily saying, "Dad! You've never believed in Buddhism in your life. Who are you pretending to be? At least I, your son, have a mistress who's a nun. I'm closer to the Buddha than you are! Admit it, you're just afraid that Mom will make you kneel down and calculate in the middle of the night!"
"How dare you!" Li Gan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Li Tianyou. "How dare Rong! I will divorce her!"
Li Tianyou’s response was to roll his eyes and walk away.
