Chapter 226 (Thanks to the Q-reading leader of the eggplant delicious brother!)
Jia Tengying lowered his head blankly, glanced at the half-empty bamboo basket, and then looked up at Zhao Rong who was eating with gusto.
He paused for three breaths, pursed his lips tightly, and stared at this new roommate with a moustache.
Zhao Rong, who was acting like a normal person, paused slightly, turned his eyes, and glanced at Jia Tengying.
I could see that there was a little bit of crystal light shining in his big copper eyes, and his face gradually seemed to be a little red from suppressing it, but it was hidden under the dark skin, so it couldn't be seen.
She looked like an aggrieved little daughter-in-law who was suffering unspeakably.
Zhao Rong curled his lips slightly unnoticeably. Zhao Rong couldn't tell what Jia Tengying was thinking. He had seen him wandering not far away before.
However, this boy let his senior Yu enter Dongli Xiaozhu without notifying him in advance.
Zhao Rong was a little unhappy.
Click——
He took another bite with relish, and then pretended to notice the dazed look on Jia Tengying's eyes.
Zhao Rong turned his head, looked at Jia Tengying with a smile on his face, and repeated: "Thank you, Brother Tengying."
In front of the stone table, Fan Yushu, who was immersed in writing, and Yu Huaijin, who was bowing his head and playing the piano, were attracted by this second thank you, and they both looked up.
Seeing this, Jia Tengying hurriedly lowered his head and responded in a dull tone, "No, you're welcome."
Zhao Rong blinked and said, "The cucumbers grown by Brother Teng Ying are cool and crispy, and very delicious. I am really lucky to be able to live in Dongli Xiaozhu."
Zhao Rong raised his hand and pointed to the east corner of the courtyard, and said casually: "Insert bamboo as a fence and leave a clump of autumn chrysanthemums, so it is called Dongli Xiaozhu."
Yu Huaijin looked in the direction he pointed and nodded lightly, "Shan."
After hearing Zhao Rong's teasing, Jia Tengying lowered his head. At this moment, seeing Zhao Rong talking to Yu Huaijin, no one paid attention to him. Jia Tengying held the bamboo basket with both hands, feeling a little at a loss.
"Zhao, as long as Brother Zhao likes it? Brother Fan? Learn from...Senior, you continue? I'll leave first."
After finishing speaking slightly hastily, Jia Tengying felt like his butt was on fire and couldn't stay any longer and wanted to run away.
Zhao Rong laughed, why did he act like an aggrieved little girl?
"Wait." He stood up slightly and immediately grabbed Jia Tengying who was about to escape.
Zhao Rong grabbed his arm and pulled him back, laughing and scolding him? "Why are you running so fast? I ate, but the guests haven't eaten yet. You don't want to welcome Brother Yushu and Senior Yu, right?"
When Jia Tengying heard this, he raised his head and was startled? He quickly shook his head.
Zhao Rong stretched out his hand and grabbed the other two cucumbers in the bamboo basket.
One was thrown to Fan Yushu and the other was handed to Yu Huaijin.
"Have a try, our Dongli Xiaozhu planted the whole academy? This is the only one, this kind of delicacy at the bottom of the mountain? You immortals on the mountain must have never tasted it? Hey, I am really taking advantage of you today."
Fan Yushu bit the penholder, raised his hand to take it, and said thank you casually. When he heard this, he said in a disdainful tone:
"Cut it, isn't it just cucumber? Ziyu said it as if no one has ever eaten it. Our fairy family on the mountain also has to supply it down the mountain. Besides, in Duyou City, except for a small number of monks in the east city, the common people still make up the majority.
This kind of melon and fruit is quite common in this season. Hey, no one in the mountain fairy family has ever seen it except those cloud beings who were born in the clouds."
Fan Yushu shook his head.
Yu Huaijin held her hands and stood by the stone table. She did not immediately accept the strange object handed over by Zhao Rong. At this moment, she turned her head slightly and glanced at Fan Yushu.
The hand Zhao Rong held out was still hanging in the air. He raised it forward and said, "Try it, Mr. Fish University. It's not poisonous and can be used for beauty. Besides, it was planted by Brother Tengying. You can't believe it."
I still can’t believe that Brother Teng Ying admires you so much?”
Zhao Rong took the word "admiration" seriously in the last sentence.
After saying this, he glanced sideways at Jia Tengying with a smile on his face.
After Jia Tengying discovered that Zhao Rong was handing something to Yu Huaijin for him, he immediately raised his head. The grievances and depression in his heart at the previous moment disappeared. He looked at Zhao Rong with gratitude in his eyes.
However, when he heard Zhao Rong's somewhat meaningful tone, Jia Tengying's face turned red again, and he hesitated to explain.
Yu Huaijin on the side still had a straight face, as if she didn't notice the articulation in Zhao Rong's words. She lowered her eyes and looked at the cucumber in front of her, then turned around and saluted Jia Tengying.
"Thank you, Brother Teng Ying."
Yu Huaijin behaved in a regular manner.
Jia Tengying quickly returned the courtesy and followed the etiquette of answering all courtesy.
Zhao Rong looked at Yu Huaijin speechlessly, "Yu Huaijin, it's so troublesome for you to pick up something? We are both students of Sui Xing Hall, is this kind of pretentiousness necessary?"
Yu Huaijin stood up. After hearing this, he thought in silence for a while, and finally nodded seriously.
Zhao Rong was speechless for a moment. He stared at her and said "boring" in his heart.
With such an old-fashioned etiquette, if you get married in the future, will you have to bow to each other before holding hands?
So if you want to do something more in-depth, it won’t be more troublesome. Do you still have to kowtow?
This kind of red tape is just like the emperors and empresses of the Yamashita Dynasty. To be a good example of a country, every move must abide by the etiquette and cannot go beyond the slightest.
Is it possible that you want to be a queen who lives under the eyes of others all day long?
Zhao Rong curled his lips and glanced at Yu Huaijin who was taking the cucumber. She was finally willing to stretch out her little jade-white hands that had been hidden in her sleeves for a long time.
Zhao Rong was a little lucky. Fortunately, his Qingjun and Xiaoxiao were not such boring women, and they even sometimes called him a nerd in private.
I don’t know who will be unlucky enough to marry this piece of wood in the future.
But logically speaking, no one should want it, but...
Zhao Rong thought of the handsome face of Senior Han from the monastic hall, and turned to look at Yu Huaijin's Jia Tengying with bright eyes.
Zhao Rong had a smile on his face, there is competition for this "piece of wood"? Ahem, Brother Han, Brother Teng Ying, come on.
How could Yu Huaijin have imagined that someone would arrange her like this in his mind? However, even if she knew about it, she might still look calm and not say a word.
At this moment, Yu Huaijin lowered her head and glanced at the cucumber in her hand. Her white hands were in sharp contrast to the emerald green color. The emerald green seemed to be dripping down and dyeing Yu Huaijin's hands.
She raised her eyelids slightly, with some novelty in her eyes, and looked at it closely for a while.
Yu Huaijin suddenly raised his head and said, "What is beauty?"
These days, in Suixingtang, Zhao Rong would occasionally hear some strange words and phrases coming out of his mouth, and Yu Huaijin, who was always eager to learn and specialize in knowledge, now heard something unusual.
After hearing what he said, she asked directly.
Zhao Rong raised his eyebrows, "It means beautifying your face, and it can also be called a person with a very beautiful face."
When he said this, he looked at the woman in front of him, blinked, and said in a serious tone, "Here, taking the prefix of it can make Senior Yu look better."
"Oh." Yu Huaijin said calmly, she closed her eyes, and all the interest that was originally contained in her eyes disappeared.
The old-fashioned woman's expression remained unchanged, and the depths of her eyes were unruffled. There was no ripple at all about this potentially beautifying thing.
Yu Huaijin has a somewhat negative meaning.
He lowered his head, raised his hand, and took a small bite in an elegant manner.
moment.
There was a crisp sound between the teeth and lips.
The elegant and cool taste blooms on the taste buds.
Her eyes lit up slightly, like a pool of dry autumn water reflecting a bright peony, and the pool full of dry water suddenly lit up.
The corners of Yu Huaijin's lips gently moved back and forth, the amplitude was very small, but he couldn't help but chew a few mouthfuls.
It is fresh and sweet, thin and light, but it seems to have the smell of autumn morning, which is refreshing and cool.
This is the taste she likes.
Yu Huaijin immediately lowered his head again, opened his lips slightly, and took a small bite, but his movements still followed etiquette and he did not show his teeth.
She squinted her eyes slightly, chewed slowly a few times, and tasted it carefully.
At this moment.
Bang————
A slight sound still came out.
The corner of Yu Huaijin's lips suddenly stopped. She was biting it very lightly, but the crunching sound was still unavoidable.
The old-fashioned woman who always abides by etiquette and never breaks the rules frowned slightly. After a moment of hesitation, she continued to move the corners of her lips, but her movements were lighter and almost invisible.
He seemed to be aware of the gazes of several people around him.
Yu Huaijin's Adam's apple rose and fell slightly, then he slightly raised the cucumber with his hand, raised his head and said, "Excellent."
Her expression was serious and her tone was affirmative, as if tasting a cucumber was a serious matter that should be taken seriously.
As old-fashioned and solemn as ever.
But at this moment, Yu Huaijin's eyes were brighter, but they were also very different from the calmness of the past, which was very rare.
Zhao Rong, Jia Tengying and Fan Yushu, look at me and I look at you.
Their eyes widened a bit, obviously they didn't expect that a small cucumber from the mountain would cause such a reaction from Yu Huaijin, making this senior student of Suixing Hall seem to have opened the door to a new world.
"Ahem," Zhao Rong coughed lightly and exchanged glances with the other two.
He looked at Yu Huaijin and spoke with a smile. Of course, he was not telling her that this thing could also open the door to some other new worlds, and Zhao Rong was very sure that if he dared to tell the truth to Yu Huaijin in a bad way, he would definitely not
Fa Zhuzhu left Dongli Xiaozhu, and he might have to be eradicated by Yu Huaijin on the pretext of doing justice for heaven.
"If Senior Yu likes the cucumbers from our Dongli Xiaozhu, you can take some back. If there are no other things, our Dongli Xiaozhu still has a lot of trouble with this stuff. Are you right, Brother Teng Ying?"
Next to him, Jia Tengying, who had already been excited and gearing up, nodded his head as if he was pounding garlic. As soon as Zhao Rong finished his words, he ran away quickly and went to the vegetable garden to pick cucumbers without waiting for Yu Huaijin's reaction.
Zhao Rong's mouth twitched slightly as he looked at Jia Tengying's back, and he became less optimistic about him.
Zhao Rong shook his head, came back to his senses and looked at Yu Huaijin who was eating cucumber in small bites. He saw that she was eating with a straight face, a serious expression, and a gentle manner.
Zhao Rong smiled and said: "Senior Yu, this is the right way to eat cucumber. You won't be able to experience the pleasure of your mouth and tongue like this."
After saying this, he picked up the half-eaten cucumber in his hand, took a big bite, puffed out his cheeks and chewed it until it was crunchy.
Yu Huaijin, who was slowly eating this novelty, looked slightly stunned, but in the eyes of Zhao Rong and other outsiders, she still looked expressionless, because she always had a straight face. At this moment
The slight pause was the same as the little face with a straight face, unable to wait.
Yu Huaijin pursed her lips as she looked at Zhao Rong, who was eating casually, smiling brightly, and with dazzling white teeth.
She was quiet for a while, shook her head slightly, and did not follow Zhao Rong's example. However, under the influence of someone's rattling voice, the corners of her lips twitched a little more unconsciously, and she was not afraid to eat again.
The cucumber made a slight crisp sound when chewed.
While Zhao Rong was eating, he glanced at Yu Huaijin, waited for a moment, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he spoke with a sincere smile.
"Senior Yu, not only can you eat this thing directly, there are actually other better ways to eat it."
Zhao Rong's eyes were bright and clear, and he kept his words to himself.
Yu Huaijin looked at him with a calm expression for a while, then asked softly: "How to eat it?"
Zhao Rong Zhao Rong became even more brilliant, showing his neat white teeth, "For example, for cold salad, first peel and crack the cucumber, put it in a basin, add some appropriate minced garlic, chili pepper, salt, stir evenly, and finally add
Fried peanuts... mix well again... add coriander to add flavor and garnish..."
Zhao Rong raised his head and sighed slightly, "Hiss...that taste."
He squinted at Yu Huaijin and coughed twice.
But although Yu Huaijin was brighter, she just looked at him intently and didn't answer or ask for help.
Zhao Rong felt that the time was almost here, so he couldn't help it anymore and looked at her sincerely.
"Senior Yu, the ingredients for making cucumber salad are not available here. It is difficult to find. But if you want to eat it, senior, I will definitely make it. This is my unshirkable responsibility as a student of Sui Xing Hall. I cannot do anything for seniors.
If you want to share your worries, then you have to share your worries for the senior’s belly.
Ahem, so, you get rid of this obstructive formation first, I will go out to buy some ingredients, and I will be back soon. When I come back, I will make you stirred cucumbers, how about it?"
Yu Huaijin looked at Zhao Rong expressionlessly, without even thinking:
