Without waiting for Zhu Xin to refuse, Ulan served the freshly cut watermelon on a whole plate:
"Come on, come on, you're welcome. After drinking tea to quench your thirst, let's eat watermelon. This watermelon is so sweet!"
Zhu Xin really felt that hospitality was hard to refuse, but Houttuynia cordata...
This is one of those things where you have to put on a mask of pain when you hear the name! Why do some people like this taste?
But... he is indeed thirsty and dry, and it is not easy to resist such dark cuisine——
Who wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't feel thirsty after blaring for hours like him? A bottle of mineral water on the road is of no use at all.
At this moment, I gritted my teeth and drank a sip of herbal tea. The cool and slightly sweet moisturizing feeling went down my throat. My dry mouth and smoking throat were instantly restored to life!
Not to mention that my forehead, which was still hot just now, feels as if it has been immersed in the cool well water, which is thorough and refreshing, so refreshing!
He couldn't help but widen his eyes, then he raised the cup and looked at it. The light yellow herbal tea was taken from the vat in the corner, but he couldn't see the material clearly.
But it didn't stop him from giving a thumbs up: "Auntie, your herbal tea is really good for relieving the heat!" The strange smell of Houttuynia cordata seemed to have been neutralized, and it didn't taste uncomfortable at all.
"Really?" Ulan also said proudly: "There are a lot of them by the pond. I'll bring you two bags later."
These were all brought by Dr. Xiao Guo at noon - she went to the fields to pick vegetables every day. Although she was given money, she was the only one in the village who could buy them, which made her feel quite sad.
No, I smoked alone for several days, picked a bunch of Houttuynia cordata around the pond in the back mountain, dried it and processed it before sending it over.
Song Tan was not at home this morning, so they happened to wrap the gauze net with marinade, add rock sugar, crushed tea leaves, etc. and wrap it up one by one. This made a pot, and it tasted very good.
For the two Tian Tian sisters who did the work, it was a great relief from the heat, and they drank a big drink before leaving.
Because of this, Wulandu planned to discuss the price with Song Tan and sell it in Taotaobao shop! After all, in this summer, the Houttuynia cordata beside the pond are endless! It is really too lush.
Zhu Xin didn't know about these trivial things. He just heard Ulan's words and thanked him without saying anything.
However, Qiao Qiao just finished cleaning up and walked in. When she saw Zhu Xin, her eyes lit up: "Brother Xiao Zhu, can you show me your fire truck? It must be so cool!"
Zhu Xin:……
"Then Brother Xiao Zhu can't do it." He laughed, showing two little tiger teeth, which was also a bit cute:
"Brother Xiao Zhu is responsible for driving the fire truck, but that car is in Ningcheng. The car is very big, and Ningcheng is far away. If you drive here, it will take a lot of fuel... It would be too wasteful."
Without waiting for Qiao Qiao to show his disappointed look, he asked again: "...but my brother has a fire truck model at home, do you want it? If you want, I will send it to you when my brother returns."
Oops! It’s easy to become sweet when chatting with children. Even his tone seemed to be sweetened with honey, and he was very willing to give up——
After all, that fire truck model cost hundreds of dollars.
Qiaoqiao was instantly pleasantly surprised: "Really? Really? Thank you, brother, I want it! I'll treat you to some tea eggs, they're so delicious! I can even show you my Ultraman!"
After he finished speaking, he stood up suddenly: "Brother, wait a minute, I'll get you a baby!"
Then he went upstairs like a gust of wind.
Here, Song Tan took a piece of watermelon and handed it to him: "You're welcome, try it, I grew it myself."
Zhu Xin even drank the Houttuynia cordata tea, and now he was even more looking forward to the watermelon. After one sip, he felt a sweet taste burst into his mouth. He quickly sucked the juice that almost leaked out, and then ate it in three or two gulps.
Together!
He thought to himself, no wonder the dog's food tasted so delicious. Looking at the looks in their eyes, he knew that the rind of the melon was probably delicious!
This time he was really rude. He quickly took another piece and asked, "Do you sell your watermelons? Before I leave, I want to buy two and take them to Ningcheng for my girlfriend to try."
"Ouch!" Song Tan was quite surprised: "Do you really have a girlfriend? Then you have been chatting with me via voice chat for so long without stopping... Do you think this is appropriate?"
But she really didn't think that Zhu Xin was the kind of person who didn't pay attention to distance - after all, he said from the beginning that he had a partner, but the conversation was so lively that Song Tan thought he was talking nonsense.
Zhu Xin:……
His expression fell instantly.
"My girlfriend is a teacher, and she said I'm not allowed to talk to her for more than ten minutes in a row."
To be precise, my girlfriend’s original words were: “I’m tired of listening to children chattering every day. After get off work, you have to chatter non-stop, noisy like an old bird. I really can’t stand it. You Let me go please……"
How hurtful this is! Zhu Xin’s heart was broken into pieces.
But...since he was a child, his mother has always annoyed him, and now it doesn't matter if his girlfriend annoys him again.
He is already grateful that his girlfriend is willing to fall in love with him...
So he is also very free and easy: "My girlfriend said that as long as it's not dark, I can talk to anyone and it doesn't matter all day long!"
"This will leave her with a lot of peace and quiet at night, and she will be happy."
Song Tan: ...She doesn’t quite understand the way contemporary young people fall in love.
She decisively changed the topic - watermelon.
"We don't sell watermelons. There aren't many in the fields. But I can give you one."
Zhu Xin ate the third piece again, and when he heard this, he was pretending to be polite: "How embarrassing..."
"Nothing to be embarrassed about." Song Tan also smiled fakely: "I also have tea, tea egg marinade bags, hand-woven straw mats, and a link to the Taotaobao store that is out of stock now... The price is very expensive, you want it
?"
Zhu Xin:……
He silently bit into the third piece of watermelon, thinking that the taste of this melon was worth it no matter how expensive it was!
But when it becomes expensive, the problem is not with the melon, but with him - after all, we don't have much money.
But... come here, the tea is delicious and the melon is delicious.
He sighed: "I'm sorry to see you..."
Before the rest of the words could be said, the phone rang——
"Xinxin, when will you come back? Your sister is waiting for you!"
The caller was my aunt. Her daughter, Zhu Xin's cousin Zhu Lan, is getting married tomorrow.
"Lan Lan said that you have always been the most agile-minded, full of ideas, and eloquent... We, my mother-in-law, have to stop the group of officers coming tomorrow!"
According to local rules, the groom must undergo a "test" before receiving the bride.
This is a happy event, and my eldest aunt was all smiles when she said it on the phone:
"There's no hope for the martial arts one, but I'll have to wait for you to think about it before it's reliable for the literary one!"
