You all sit first, I’ll go get the dishes out.
Lin Jing said, walking toward the kitchen, and soon came out with the dishes in hand.
Immediately after, the three of them sat around the stone table. Lin Jing served the rice, and Luo Luo sensibly placed the first bowl in front of Ning Yue.
“Mother, here.”
Ning Yue, with a smile on her face, took the bowl.
“Mom, the food Uncle Lin makes is really delicious. Try it and see.”
“Okay.”
Ning Yue nodded and picked up a piece of green vegetable to taste.
Instantly, the delicious flavor filled her mouth. Ning Yue’s eyes lit up, and she took another piece of egg, silky and tender, still incredibly tasty…
“Mom, how is it? Uncle Lin’s cooking is much better than yours, right…”
Luo Luo, unintentionally, spoke her mind.
Upon realizing what she said, she quickly covered her mouth and then buried her head in her bowl.
Ning Yue shot her a glance.
However, she didn’t say anything, as it was evident that her own cooking skills were worlds apart from Lin Jing’s.
She knew herself well and naturally didn’t blame Luo Luo.
“Lin Daoyou, I didn’t expect your cooking skills to be so good.”
Ning Yue praised him during the meal.
“My mother passed away when I was young and my father was always busy, so I had to develop these cooking skills.”
Ning Yue hadn’t anticipated that this would touch upon Lin Jing’s family history, and she quickly apologized.
“I’m sorry, Lin Daoyou.”
“It’s fine, it’s all in the past.”
Afterward, there was a pause of silence…
“Ning Daoyou, why do you need to go to someone else’s home to practice alchemy?”
Lin Jing broke the silence first in an attempt to change the subject.
“That family is rather special. They grow their own Spirit Grass and want to turn all the harvested Spirit Grass into Elixir Medicine in response to the recent beast tide.”
“They don’t want to cooperate with other powers and share the benefits, so they decided to hire Alchemists to come and process the Spirit Grass into Elixir Medicine.”
“I see.” said Lin Jing.
“Daoyou, I looked at your alchemy book during my free time today and made some amendments, though due to time constraints, I haven’t made many changes.”
“I estimate that it will take over half a month to complete all the revisions.”
“You have worked hard, Ning Daoyou.” Lin Jing expressed his gratitude.
“Mom, are you going to teach Uncle Lin alchemy? Didn’t you say Grandfather’s Alchemy Technique should not be readily passed on to others?”
At this, Ning Yue glared at Luo Luo.
“Eat your meal, don’t interrupt adults when they are talking.”
“Oh…”
Under Ning Yue’s stern gaze, Luo Luo bowed her head and shoveled rice into her mouth, seemingly channeling her dissatisfaction into the food.
Then, Ning Yue resumed discussing alchemy with Lin Jing…
The sunset painted the sky, and beneath the trees, two adults and one child sat at the table, enjoying their dinner.
If a stranger were to see this, they would certainly envy this seemingly blissful family…
Perhaps because Lin Jing’s cooking was too delicious, Ning Yue ate two more bowls today than usual.
After dinner, as the evening darkened, Ning Yue did not leave but instead began to explain the Alchemy Technique to Lin Jing.
Luo Luo was also there, but soon found it boring and ran off to count stars.
The two continued talking until it was nearly Zi Time, with Luo Luo nearly unable to keep her eyes open, before they both left.
And Lin Jing, after their departure, did not go to the System Space either.
