Chapter 465: Let her bring her friends over for dinner(1/2)

 Then, Li You took out the things he brought from the storage basket on the rear rack of the motorcycle.

Xia Xiaoyue saw her and walked over and said, "Boss, have you brought any food?"

Li You said: "A few bowls of salty roasted white rice and a braised chicken. Bring them here for your grandparents to try."

"They must be very happy after tasting it." Xia Xiaoyue said, "I'll get some. Boss, this is too much wine. One pound is enough."

Li You shook his head and said not much. Since the old man likes to drink, he must give a little more.

Then, the two people carried their things and walked towards the door of the villa.

As soon as she walked to the door, Xia Xiaoyue's grandparents came out from the villa to welcome her.

The two elderly people are in good spirits, their faces are glowing, and their steps are full of energy.

According to Xia Xiaoyue's previous introduction, her grandfather is 69 years old this year and her grandmother is 68 years old. Although this age cannot be said to be old, she is already nearly 70 years old. But she is still in such a state, which can be said to be quite good.

"Xiao Li, welcome, very welcome." Xia Xiaoyue's grandfather, Xia Dongguo, greeted with a smile.

"Hello, old man! Hello, mother-in-law!" Li You said with the same smile.

"Okay, okay. Why did you bring so many things?" Xia Xiaoyue's grandparents said so.

Grandma’s name is Wu Suirong.

"Not much, not much. I just didn't know what to bring, so I just brought a little." Li You said.

"Grandpa, this is the wine sold by Boss Li You in his own shop." Xia Xiaoyue showed the jug to Xia Dongguo and said, "This wine is very delicious. You have never drunk such a delicious wine before."

"Really?" Xia Dongguo expressed his gratitude to Li You with a smile on his face, "Xiao Li, thank you, thank you. You are so thoughtful and brought so much."

Li You said: "Not much, not much. After the old man drinks it, if you like it, I will bring some more next time."

Xia Dongguo said hurriedly: "That's enough, that's enough. You can't bring it over anymore. Xiao Li, when you open a shop for business, you must keep the wine for sale in the shop. I brought so much this time, it's enough."

Li You smiled and said: "We'll talk about it when the time comes, we'll talk about it when the time comes."

"Boss Li You also brought salty roasted white rice and braised chicken. They are very delicious. You must have never tasted such delicious salty roasted white rice and braised chicken." Xia Xiaoyue added.

"Xiao Li is very thoughtful, very thoughtful. Thank you, thank you!" Xia Dongguo and Wu Suirong both expressed their gratitude again.

Then he invited Li You into the house.

"Girl Yue, make a cup of tea for Xiao Li." Xia Dongguo said to Xia Xiaoyue.

Li You hurriedly said: "No need, old man, no need. I don't have the habit of drinking tea, and Xiaoyue knows this. Don't be so polite, old man. Otherwise, I will feel uncomfortable."

"Okay, okay." Xia Dongguo said with a smile, "Then be casual. Xiao Li, just treat it as your own home."

Li You nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay."

"Boss, try some of this fruit." Xia Xiaoyue brought over a fruit plate. There were several fruits on the plate, which were oblong and slightly curved.

The length is about 8 centimeters and the diameter is about 3 centimeters. The peel is light purple, with a crack split open, revealing the pulp inside.

The flesh is white, somewhat like a banana. But there are many black ones visible to the naked eye.

This is August Fried. A wild mountain fruit that matures in August and September.

It is the fruit of a vine whose scientific name is Akebia trifoliata.

Li You is no stranger to this kind of fruit.

The reason why this kind of fruit is called "August Fried" is because this kind of fruit mainly matures in August and September, and will automatically split open when ripe. It seems to be calling people to eat it quickly.

There is no such fruit in Changle Village and the mountains and forests near Jiulong Gorge, at least Li You didn't find any.

I didn’t expect it to be here.

Li You smiled and said: "I didn't expect you still have this kind of fruit here. Did you pick it yourself?"

Xia Xiaoyue nodded, "My grandfather went to the mountains to pick it back yesterday."

Xia Dongguo said at this time: "This August fried food is delicious, but it is too troublesome to eat, there are too many seeds. After one bite, there is not much pulp, all the seeds."

Li You nodded. The texture of August Fried is good, it tastes soft, glutinous and sweet. But it has a very big drawback, there are too many fried chicken.

Take one bite, carefully eat the pulp, and then spit it out.

It tastes very unpleasant.

However, it’s good to eat a few occasionally.

Li You picked up one, followed the opening of the fruit to tear open the peel further, and took out the pulp inside.

Take a bite.

The taste is really good, a bit like a banana. It looks like a banana and tastes a bit like it.

It’s just that there are too many beans and it’s troublesome to eat.

After carefully eating the pulp, spit out at least twenty pods.

He took two more bites, finished the whole fruit, and said, "It would be great if this fruit didn't have any seeds. It would be much more enjoyable to eat that way."

Xia Xiaoyue nodded, "Indeed. But now there are people on the Internet who are hyping this fruit and turning it into an internet celebrity fruit. It is quite expensive, costing twenty or thirty yuan per catty."

Li You said: "I've seen it too. What can I say? For those who have never eaten this kind of fruit, it's okay to buy some and try it out. But it's not cost-effective to buy more. This fruit is not only rich in fruit, but also the peel.

It’s also very thick. I bought a pound of fruit and once I removed the peel and seeds, there really wasn’t much pulp.”

Xia Xiaoyue said: "It is indeed okay to try it. After all, the taste is good. And the nutritional value seems to be quite high."

Li Youdao: "The nutritional value is indeed good. It not only contains a large amount of essential nutrients for the human body, but also has beauty and anti-cancer effects, and has a significant alleviation effect on diabetes."

Xia Xiaoyue's eyes lit up and she added: "In that case, this kind of fruit still has high edible value."

Li You nodded, "Indeed."

Xia Xiaoyue added: "Boss, pick more and eat them. We have more of this kind of fruit here."

"That's okay." Li You said, "We don't seem to have this kind of fruit over there. At least I haven't found any yet. But it's only a few dozen kilometers apart, but the difference is quite big."

Xia Xiaoyue said: "This is normal. Some of the fruits you have there are not available here. For example, there are many black tigers there, but we don't have them here. At least as far as I know, there are none."

Li You lamented, "One side of water and soil supports another side of wild fruits. Not to mention the differences between provinces, we belong to the same county, but we are not the same."

Xia Xiaoyue smiled and said: "Boss, do you want to get an August tree to plant in your wild orchard?"

Li You nodded, "I really have this idea. Find a tree of suitable size, dig it out, and then I will take it back."

The August tree, Akebia trifoliata, is a vine that mainly grows by twining and climbing. Therefore, the main trunk is basically not very thick and can be easily taken away.

Xia Xiaoyue said: "Then I will accompany you to look for it this afternoon to see if there is anything suitable. You can pick some fruits and take them back."

Li You nodded again, "Okay!"

Xia Dongguo was very happy to see that Li You was so interested in August fried rice. He said with a smile: "Xiao Li, I will go pick some more and bring them back for you to eat."

Li You said: "The old man is too polite. Xiaoyue and I can just pick it. You are the elders, so I dare not bother you to pick it."

Xia Dongguo waved his hand and said it was nothing, telling Li You to be welcome.

At this time, the time had reached 10:40 in the morning, and Li You said: "Old man, you still have to go to the wedding banquet. It's getting late now, so you can just go and don't worry about me."

Xia Dongguo apologized: "Xiao Li, look at this... I can't even entertain you properly."

"Where, where." Li You said hurriedly, "This has been a good reception."

Xia Dongguo apologized again, and then said: "Then Grandma Xiaoyue and I will go there first. Xiao Li, you have fun here and treat it as your own home."

Li You nodded, "Okay, okay."

"Yue Yatou," Xia Dongguo said to Xia Xiaoyue again, "stay with Xiao Li. Let's see what we can eat at noon. There are sausages and bacon in the refrigerator. Also, prepare the dishes..."

"Okay, Grandpa, we will get it ourselves to eat." Xia Xiaoyue said, "You guys should leave quickly."

"You girl..." Xia Dongguo shook his head helplessly, and then said to Li You, "Xiao Li, let's go first."

Li You nodded, "You guys walk slowly."

"Okay, okay."

Xia Dongguo and Wu Suirong went out.

After the two people left, Xia Xiaoyue said: "Boss, what are we having for lunch? I'm going to prepare the ingredients."

Li You brought salty roasted white rice and braised chicken, which he originally planned to eat at noon today. But since the two old people were not here at noon today, he decided not to eat them and left them to eat them tomorrow.

What else should I eat at noon today?

Li You said: "Let's go to your vegetable garden and see what ingredients are there?"

Xia Xiaoyue nodded, "Okay."

Li You took another August Fried, then stood up, planning to eat while going to the vegetable field.

"Boss, red envelope, you dropped it." Xia Xiaoyue picked up a red envelope from the chair where Li You just sat and handed it to Li You.

Li You stretched out his hand to take it and said with a smile: "It's the red envelope given by the groom earlier. I just wanted to do a favor, but I didn't expect to get a red envelope."

Xia Xiaoyue said: "In a situation like this, if the groom knows etiquette, he will give him a red envelope. How much is it in?"
