Chapter 564 Different Waters
"Please sit for a while. I'll go wash up. Take care of yourself."
After bringing Xu Damao into his home, Li Qin casually spoke to him.
After saying that, she went straight to the washbasin without even waiting for Xu Damao's response.
Xu Damao, completely oblivious to politeness, casually waved to Li Qin.
It's as if they're saying Li Qin doesn't need to interfere.
Without even needing Li Qin's permission, Xu Damao excitedly took out a can of tea from the cabinet at home.
Then she carefully brewed a cup of tea for herself and Li Qin.
Xu Damao really liked the tea from Li Qin's family.
When Xu Damao first arrived at Li Qin's house, he was a little reserved because he knew that these teas were the best.
He felt it was very precious and dared not take it casually.
After Li Qin persuaded him many times, he stopped being so careful.
Later, after they became more familiar with each other, he completely relaxed and would even make tea for himself without Li Qin having to ask.
"You're really getting more and more skilled now."
When Li Qin came out again, he saw Xu Damao already holding a teacup and skillfully drinking tea, and a helpless look flashed across his face.
Xu Damao showed no reaction to Li Qin's teasing, as if he hadn't heard it at all.
Upon seeing this, Li Qin's face flashed with a speechless expression once again;
Looking at Xu Damao now, Li Qin had a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
Where is it?
After thinking for a moment, a glint of light flashed in Li Qin's eyes.
He finally remembered that he always had a similar expression whenever he got something good for free from his cheap uncle Li Huaide.
At this moment, Li Qin couldn't help but feel some doubt.
"Is this what they call retribution, or fate?"
He used to get Li Huaide's things for free, but now Xu Damao is getting his for free.
Moreover, Li Qin's mentality is similar to Li Huaide's, whether it's Li Qin taking advantage of Li Huaide or Xu Damao taking advantage of Li Qin.
Neither Li Huaide nor Li Qin felt any aversion to it.
Moreover, Li Qin felt that this method was very familiar. This casual and unpretentious way of getting along gradually made Li Qin's emotions, which had become somewhat indifferent after his divine status was upgraded, become more human.
This is exactly what Li Qin needs.
It was through these events that Li Qin discovered he wanted to stabilize the humanity affected by divinity due to his divine advancement.
Besides paying more attention to yourself, you might also be able to strengthen your connections with those around you.
By forging deeper connections with those around us, we enrich our humanity.
In simpler terms, it means deepening one's own humanistic anchor.
Since realizing this, Li Qin has begun to make some changes to his daily life.
Of course, this change will be carried out slowly. Li Qin doesn't want to make too many changes at once, as that would only make people feel uncomfortable.
Compared to such drastic measures, Li Qin prefers to gradually and subtly change his lifestyle.
However, it was only a slight change.
Li Qin had never considered completely changing his life.
"By the way, I've always felt that the water in your house seems a little different."
Xu Damao, who was drinking tea, suddenly said something as if unconsciously.
Upon hearing this, Li Qin's expression faltered for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal.
Li Qin gave Xu Damao a strange look, then pretended to see right through him.
"You just want to drink more of my tea, is it really necessary to go to such lengths? And what's with the different water? We all get it from the Central Court."
Xu Damao's face showed a look of doubt, then he smiled and nodded: "That makes sense, it's probably because of the tea."
He then put the matter out of his mind.
Xu Damao didn't actually take what had just happened to heart; he had only subconsciously uttered a remark.
He simply assumed he was imagining things.
In reality, only Li Qin himself knew that Xu Damao was right.
The water he used at home, whether for drinking or cooking, was indeed different from that of the people in Beijing.
All of it was water he summoned using the "Clear Water Like a Spring" spell.
This is not Li Qin being pretentious or showing off.
This is mainly because Beijing is a northern city, and the water quality here is not very good. In addition, there was a lack of equipment at that time.
The groundwater cannot be filtered efficiently, so it tastes very bad to drink.
This was something that Li Qin, who was used to modern life, found very difficult to accept.
Therefore, all the water that Li Qin drank after transmigrating was summoned by himself.
This is very different from the water in Beijing, and Xu Damao actually noticed it.
Li Qin was somewhat surprised by this, but not too worried.
There's no need to worry about this; it's just a minor issue.
In addition, he usually drinks tea, so even if someone notices something is wrong, he can use tea as an excuse to cover it up.
"Alright, I'm almost ready here, we can head to the market now."
Li Qin glanced at the time and realized it was already past nine o'clock, so he prepared to set off.
This was something he and Xu Damao had agreed on several days ago: to go to the market together to prepare the ingredients needed for today's hot pot.
This is why Xu Damao came to see him so early in the morning.
"Let's go then."
Xu Damao had no objection to Li Qin's arrangement. He finished the tea in his cup in one gulp, then put down the cup and stood up.
The two then went out.
Because it was still snowing outside, both of them were dressed very warmly.
Even though Li Qin didn't actually need it, he didn't refuse.
Because of the snow and the weekend, there weren't many people on the streets.
Even those who come and go are always in a hurry.
Li Qin rode his bicycle quickly towards the vegetable market with Xu Damao on his back.
Even though it's winter now, there are still plenty of things for sale at the market.
"Li Qin, what ingredients are you planning to buy?"
Xu Damao was a little confused when he arrived at the vegetable market.
It's fine to let him eat, but if Xu Damao is asked to cook, it's not exactly a disaster, but it's certainly not a good thing either.
Xu's mother has always been the one who cooks in the family since he was a child. It's considered quite good if Xu Damao can cook a bowl of noodles.
Now that they're having hot pot, Xu Damao really doesn't know what to buy.
Although Li Qin's actual cooking skills were not particularly good, his experience from the future and his knowledge of recipes made him far superior to Xu Damao.
"Hot pot is actually very simple. Anything you think you can cook in a pot is fine."
Both meat and vegetables are fine; if all else fails, just cook it like you would in a traditional copper hot pot in Beijing.
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, Xu Damao immediately understood.
Seeing Xu Damao's reaction, Li Qin seemed to understand, and then spoke again: "Then you can wander around the market first and see if there are any vegetables you want to eat. Just buy them directly. I'll go to the meat stall to buy some things first."
Li Qin then parted ways with Xu Damao.
