On Xi Lanting's table, there were fresh cherries placed in crystal dishes. The cherries were very small and as bright as agate.
Yun Qiao's eyes lit up.
Xi Lanting took a look and said to her: "The cherries are not in the market at this time, so we have to wait for at least two more months. They are shipped from the south. They are brightly colored and must be sour."
Yun Qiao stepped forward and hugged the crystal dish, smiling: "I'm not afraid of acid, I like it."
Xi Lanting: "If you like it, take it back and eat it."
If Yun Qiao doesn't go back, there are still two people living in her house, and Jingxin will take care of them.
She carried it to the side room.
Xi Lanting raised his head and glanced: "Are you still staying here tonight?"
"Well, let's stay for a few days first," Yun Qiao said.
She asked Xi Lanting again where she bought the cherries, but Xi Lanting ignored her.
However, Brother Zun can't hide things.
He brought in the big and small bags that Yun Qiao bought, and chatted with Yun Qiao: "Master Qi asked me to call back, and Shuangfu went to buy them.
The club where you and Qi Ye went to play cards last time sells foreign wine, garnished with two cherries. The price is quite high, so they have some stock.
But it shouldn’t be very tasty. They said it would be sour, so they put it in wine to try it out. Shuangfu took back half of their stock.”
Yun Qiao felt warm in her heart.
Xi Zun asked again: "How about I marinate it with sugar for you?"
Yun Qiao tasted one.
Indeed, it looked good, but it was so sour. She tried not to frown, but her brows were still knitted together.
She nodded: "Okay, bring some sugar."
Xi Zun brought a package over and gave her a pair of chopsticks to stir it.
Yun Qiao put a little in at first, but then she felt it was not enough, so she simply poured out half the package. The whole cherries were submerged in the sugar. She thought it would taste better this way.
Xi Lanting came over and saw this scene and felt that the child was ruining things.
After the cherries were pickled, Yun Qiao began to pack the things she bought today.
The things were not big, they were dismantled all over the floor, and they were put away bit by bit. It was tedious and boring, but she was very happy. She was spinning around like a top without getting tired.
By the time we finished packing, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
She was about to take a shower, but she was worried about the people in her room, so she quietly sneaked back to the fourth room.
The two of them fell asleep and were awakened by Yun Qiao's return.
Yun Qiao learned that they had all eaten today, and under Chang Ning's cover, she went to the toilet for them and brought water for them to wash up. Yun Qiao felt relieved.
"I'm staying out tonight, you two be careful and lock the door," Yun Qiao said.
The two said yes.
Yun Qiao said a few words again and stood up to leave.
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Yun Qiao was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the two people. The two of them had a tacit understanding and slid under the bed lightly.
In order for the two of them to hide, the bottom of the bed was swept several times and it was spotless.
Yun Qiao pretended to be asleep, and waited for a few seconds before asking angrily: "Who is it?"
"It's me." The voice that answered her outside was actually the voice of a boy, Xi Wenqing.
Yun Qiao pretended to get up, quickly changed into her pajamas, and opened the door.
She closed the front of her shirt and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Xi Wenqing glanced quickly into Yun Qiao's room: "You, do you want a midnight snack?"
Yun Qiao looked at him suspiciously: "You came here to knock on the door just to ask this question?"
Xi Wenqing seemed a little annoyed: "I mean it well, do you want to eat it? If you don't, forget it."
Yun Qiao grabbed his arm.
She pulled Xi Wenqing into the room and looked at him with a ferocious look: "Tell the truth, or I'll break your teeth!"
