Daddy's Gourmet Shop-Chapter 334 - 324: Competing for Honor

Early the next morning.

Huang Tao and Xuanxuan got up together and washed up together.

While washing up, he deliberately entered the system interface with a simple thought.

That’s right!

He wanted to see how many points he had accumulated in the system so far!

To his surprise...

He was so shocked that his toothbrush almost fell onto the sink.

Wow, I’ve broken through a million points so quickly!

These points have reached over one million five hundred thousand!

He’s not in a hurry to redeem for skills.

After all, these points are not too few, but not too many either, and if he wants to redeem for a more advanced skill, they’re still not enough.

Moreover, he needs to save these points to redeem one or two traditional dishes for New Year’s Day, to bring glory to Xuanxuan’s class!

In short!

These points still need to be used wisely for now.

Just when he was about to see what traditional dishes he could redeem with these points, Xuanxuan’s sweet and soft voice came to his ears: "Daddy, I’ve washed my face and put on lotion..."

"Wow, you’ve finished washing up so quickly! My Xuanxuan is really great."

While praising her, Huang Tao also sped up his actions.

Finished with washing and combing his hair!

Father and daughter went one after the other to the shoe cabinet by the door, ready to change shoes and head out.

"Meow~"

Hearing the commotion, Mimi quickly dashed out from the cat’s nest, following tightly behind her master, meowing. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

It’s as if she’s scared of being forgotten by the big and small hosts!

Xuanxuan stopped, turned around, and bent down to pick up Mimi.

Hmm, a bit heavy!

She was struggling a bit to hold Mimi, her pretty little brows furrowing slightly, and she pouted: "Mimi, have you gained weight again? I can hardly hold you anymore!"

Mimi stared with her round eyes, looking bewildered: "Meow~"

Little master, what are you saying, this cat doesn’t understand~

"She eats about as much as you each time and then just lazes around in her nest without moving, it’s no wonder she’s gaining weight!"

Huang Tao chuckled, remembering the saying "Nine out of ten ginger cats are fat, and one is exceptionally fat," he thought he should set a regular feeding schedule for Mimi, otherwise, at this rate, she’ll definitely turn into a ball.

He couldn’t help but suggest to his cherished daughter: "We can’t let her eat like this anymore. We need to control her diet and help her lose some weight! Xuanxuan, remember not to always give her food just like that."

"Meow~"

Mimi cried out in a complaining tone, as if to say: Master, this cat is not fat at all, no need to lose weight...

"Okay, okay, Daddy, I got it!"

Agreeing with her dad’s reasoning, Xuanxuan nudged Mimi’s nose with her own nose and said, "Mimi, from today, you’ll have to eat less and lose some weight!"

No, no...

Mimi whimpered in Xuanxuan’s arms.

Too distressed to notice Mimi’s sorrow, Huang Tao reminded Xuanxuan: "Xuanxuan, put Mimi down and quickly put on your shoes."

Xuanxuan obediently nodded, put Mimi down, and slipped her sock-clad feet into her pink snow boots.

Seeing that she had put her shoes on the wrong feet, Huang Tao couldn’t help but chuckle and reminded her: "Xuanxuan, you’ve got your shoes on the wrong feet."

Upon hearing this, Xuanxuan quickly looked down at her feet...

Looking left, looking right, she felt nothing was wrong!

She scratched her little head, blinking her pretty big eyes, and wondered, "Daddy, I didn’t wear the wrong shoes, these are my feet!"

Dazed~

Well... it seems like she’s got a point...

Huang Tao suddenly felt he hadn’t explained clearly, which led to his daughter not understanding. He quickly corrected: "Xuanxuan, your shoes are on the wrong feet."

Saying this, he bent down, letting her lean against his chest, and then switched the shoes on her feet.

Now, Xuanxuan understood she had put on the wrong shoes!

"Thank you, Daddy..."

Xuanxuan smiled and gave Huang Tao a kiss on the cheek: "Daddy, you’re the best!"

Receiving a soft, sweet kiss from his precious daughter, Huang Tao felt a burst of sweetness in his heart. He grabbed the keys from the shoe cabinet and said, "Let’s go, Daddy will take you to the shop..."

"Let’s go..."

Xuanxuan said in her cute baby voice, not forgetting to wave to her furry friend Mimi: "Mimi, let’s go..."

Mimi could no longer afford to be sad and quickly followed along.

Better to have some food than none at all!

A big one, a small one, and a cat, out the door, down the stairs, and into the car, heading towards West City Old Street.

Xuanxuan sat obediently in the backseat in her child seat, feeling bored, she reached out to pet Mimi sprawled on the car seat.

Huang Tao felt the atmosphere inside the car was a bit dull, so he reached over to turn on the car stereo.

Instantly...

Music echoed inside the car.

He hummed along as he drove: "No longer in touch, life’s stories I hear from others, they say what you’ve been like, and how you’ve been, the one who can’t let go is me..."

This song is by one of his favorite singers, but clearly, Xuanxuan didn’t like it. After listening for a bit, she whined, "Daddy, I want to listen to ’I Won’t Fall for Your Tricks’. Can you sing that one, please?"

"Singing that song again?"

Huang Tao was a bit at a loss.

Last night coming back from the shop, he had accompanied the little one in singing and dancing to "I Won’t Fall for Your Tricks" several times.

He was almost sick of singing it, and he had listened to it so much his ears were growing calluses.

"Yes, yes~"

Xuanxuan smiled with her eyes squinting, nodding vigorously like a pecking chick.

Alright then, Huang Tao could never say no to his precious daughter.

He had to clear his throat and began singing: "I won’t fall, won’t fall, I won’t fall for your tricks, I won’t fall, won’t fall, I won’t fall for your tricks. On Sunday morning, I accompany Mom shopping, Mom says I’m so well-behaved, I’m becoming more obedient..."

Huang Tao’s rendition of such a children’s song wasn’t particularly melodious, mainly because it was hard for him to capture that joyful, childlike spirit.

Luckily, he had a good sense of pitch and sang on key.

Didn’t go off-tune.

Xuanxuan batted her sparkling eyes, and with her tender child’s voice, hummed the next part of the song: "Mom had to step away, told me to wait, after a while, a stranger approached."

To be honest, she sang even better than Huang Tao!

Huang Tao smiled, then lowered his voice, using a deep tone for the man’s part: "Little girl, I’ll give you candy, come play with me."

Xuanxuan’s little hands danced along as she sang: "I won’t fall, won’t fall, I won’t fall for your tricks. We have nothing to say to each other. I won’t fall, won’t fall, I won’t fall for your trick. You look like the Big Bad Wolf..."

Father and daughter sang in harmony.

The playful and cheerful song floated out of the car, softening the winter along the road leading to West City Old Street.
