My husband is a coward

Chapter 10

When Huo Shu went to Ji's house, it was probably after Taoyu left the incense stick.

Ji Taoyu arrived home. He had just grabbed two handfuls of rice bran and fed it to the chickens and ducks raised at home. He washed his hands and was making tea and putting it in the pergola under the yard when he heard a knock on the door.

He wiped his hands and hurriedly opened the courtyard door, and saw a man almost as tall as the courtyard door carrying the food box he had brought over.

"Isn't it to your liking?"

Taoyu couldn't help but ask.

Huo Shu lowered his eyes and saw the little brother staring straight at the food box, and said slowly: "If I say it's not to your liking, aren't you going to let me in?"

Only then did Ji Taoyu realize that he was standing in front of the courtyard gate. Hearing this, he quickly stepped aside and said, "Ah, righteous men, please come in."

"The food box will be sent back to you."

Ji Taoyu pursed her lips, closed the courtyard door, and followed Huo Shu Tutu.

Seeing that his back was turned to her, she asked, "How does it taste?"

Huo Shu sat down on the pergola and did not respond to Taoyu's words. Instead, he opened the top lid of the food box and let Ji Taoyu see it.

There were three empty dishes neatly inside, which originally contained a stack of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, a crispy bamboo shoot stewed with cured meat, and a bowl of crucian carp soup.

There is no need to mention the taste, it also entered Huo Shu's stomach.

In fact, the food cooked by Zhao's mother can be said to be delicious, but when the two of them compete, Taoyu is better, and his craftsmanship can be regarded as exquisite.

Although it is not a day's work, it is a result that can only be achieved by practicing at home.

The Ji family has no worries about eating and drinking in the village. There are abundant ingredients on the table, so they naturally have the conditions to study the taste.

Of course, I wonder if he also practiced cooking for his scholar husband.

Huo Shu raised his eyebrows, having no reason to think about this.

"They are all home-cooked dishes, not as good as those in restaurants in the city."

Taoyu suddenly became happy when she saw that the food box was empty. After saying a polite word, she hugged the food box and put it in the kitchen first.

Huo Shu looked at the man's back with his hands around the food box and walked lightly into the house, and his eyebrows stretched again.

When the person turned back, he immediately withdrew his gaze and brought a cup of tea to his mouth.

"Your parents aren't home?"

"Mom is at home. Dad just went out to record this year's autumn harvest. A mute long-term worker also went to work in the fields."

As soon as she finished speaking, Huang Manjing came out of the house when she heard the movement outside.

She greeted Huo Shu politely. Taoyu had told him early in the morning that Huo Shu was coming over to talk about something, and it was Taoyu who she asked for.

Huang Manjing asked a few questions, but Taoyu didn't say what it was. Seeing his assurance that it was nothing bad, she didn't ask in detail.

When children grow up, they always have some things of their own, which is not a bad thing. Being able to handle them on their own is also a good thing when they get married in the future.
