<span style="font-weight:400">"You understand you got a thud, right?" Long Qiqiang muttered.
<span style="font-weight:400">"A thud?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"That fruit tastes horrible; it''s impossible to sell as well." That seller definitely got the better end of the deal right here.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hehe! I got something incredible!" I can''t believe it was like a fruit! He thought it would be from a bean. But this works as well!
<span style="font-weight:400">"..."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Let''s go get some more!" Keith waved his hand! There were more things he needed to buy! This was not the end. As the group continued to walk around,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Also, I need to ask, what''s this about Cadmus being an ancestor?" He wanted to ask, but there was no chance to do so.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s because we''re descendants of Cadmus."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Say what?!" Keith paused before ncing between Ayaka, "You as well?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yes," Ayaka nodded.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I get Lihua; how are you guys rted to him?" Ayaka and Shinzo were fox people; it was surprising to see them being offsprings of Cadmus.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"We''re descendants, but we take on the traits of our other ancestors." It took two to make a baby.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…I see." Keith nodded.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Also, why do you call him grandpa?" That was something they wanted to figure out as well. When that was said at the opening ceremony, Long Lihua and Ayaka''s faces almost dropped.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Are you actually rted to the headmaster?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"What? No!" Keith waved his hand, "I only call him that because he liked the name." It was a slip of the tongue. He continued, "And he''s a grandpa, you know. But he acts more like a child." Dragon would get angry for a cookie.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…I don''t want to hear that from you." Carolyn retorted. This man was just as bad as that guy!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank goodness, I thought I would have to call you elder or something," Long Lihua sighed in relief.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m not that old," Keith scoffed and added, "So we''re going back to the temple?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Heck no!" Long Qiqiang retorted.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"After what you did, we need to take a breather." You want to go back there when you caused all of that trouble?
<span style="font-weight:400">You are one crazy dude!
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith shrugged, "Well, if they can''t decide, then I''m just going to keep running around and buying things!" This really didn''t matter so much for him.
<span style="font-weight:400">…
<span style="font-weight:400">"Did you all go to the markets?" Long Aotian watched the group return home. Keith nodded, "Mmhmm! It was so wonderful!"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…If you don''t ount for how you tried to buy everything that was around by throwing coins," Long Lihua mumbled. Unlike the happy expression he had, the rest were tired.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s great." Long Aotian pretended he didn''t hear at the end.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Can I borrow your kitchen?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sure, you can do so," Keith nodded as he followed one of the maids. "You guys can wait; I''ll prepare something really delicious."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Okay!" "Don''t mind us!" They quickly headed to the living room to rest up. As they did so, Keith grinned. I should make ginger milk curd. It was a great treat to make.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">First up was the ginger. He just needed to grate the ginger first. As he did so, the ginger was slowly shredded. That was when he used a cloth and started to squeeze. That was when the ginger juice came out. The next thing was to boil the milk.
<span style="font-weight:400">It was simple enough as he just needed to figure out the temperature.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">The enzymes were the things that would make it so. Using a spoon, Keith figured out the heat. Slowly, he poured it into the bowls. The curds slowly formed.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Good," It''s solid. Turning, he saw that Zhu Liqin was staring at the boy.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hello, Ms.Long."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Do you want to try it?" The woman was eyeing the thing quite hard.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…Yes," Zhu Liqin nodded.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Then pleasee to the living room. I''ll bring it over there," Keith smiled as he carried it over.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mother?" "Aunty?" Long Lihua and Long Qiqiang were surprised that Zhu Liqin was beside the boy.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, what did you make for us today?" Carolyn''s eyes brightened as she stared at the bowl.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"I made ginger milk curds. It''s simr to pudding. Try it out." Keith ced it down for each one. That was when everyone took a bite.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"It has a kick!"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"What do you think about it, Long Hao?" Keith turned to the child. He was sipping on the custard like a drink, "Delish!" The child was content as he continued to drink it.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"More?" Zhu Liqin looked up at him.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, I don''t have any more." Keith made one for everyone. But that was about it.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, you''re going to make more, right?" Everyone eyed him. It was saying a lot of things to him.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Understood; I will make more; give me a second." Keith sighed as he got back up: it was time for him to make more again. That was only a few seconds, but he understood the hierarchy here.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">Zhu Liqin was at the top, while the rest were at the bottom.
<span style="font-weight:400">Zhu Liqin drank five of them before stopping. She got up and headed out.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"How did you get my mother to get here?!" Long Lihua blinked. This was something she couldn''t fathom.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Uh…I don''t know." That was something he didn''t know either.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Lady Zhu is quite the spacy one," Ayaka muttered.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, I''m going to be cooking for dinner as well, if you don''t mind."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"But you''re a guest?" Did he forget about that?
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m quite happy about doing things like this." Keith grinned.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Then good luck!"
