Chapter 657 657. Houttuynia cordata tea
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 feels that hospitality is hard to refuse, but Houttuynia cordata...
This is one of those things where you have to put on a mask of pain whenever 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 food——
Whoever keeps blaring for hours like him would be surprised if he doesn’t feel thirsty? 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 smoky throat were instantly restored to life!
Not to mention my forehead, which was still hot just now, it felt as if my whole body had been immersed in cool well water. It was thorough and refreshing. It was so refreshing!
He couldn't help but widen his eyes, and 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 that 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.”
This was all delivered 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 uncomfortable.
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 be there. Wrap the gauze net with marinade, add rock sugar, crushed tea leaves, etc. and wrap it in portions. This makes a pot and tastes very good.
For the two Tian Tian sisters who were doing the work, it was a great relief from the heat. They even had a big drink before leaving.
Because of this, Wu Landu planned to discuss the price with Song Tan and sell it in Taotaobao shop! After all, in this summer, there are so many Houttuynia cordata sprouting by the pond! It's just 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 packing 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:…
“Brother Xiao Zhu can’t do it.” He smiled, showing two small 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 oil... That would be too wasteful.”
Without waiting for Qiao Qiao to show his disappointment, he asked again, "... but there is a model of a fire truck in his brother's house, do you want it? Wait for my brother to go back and send it to you if you want it."
oops! It's easy to become sweet when chatting with children. Even his tone seemed to be sweetened with honey, and his whole person was very willing -
After all, that fire truck model cost several hundred yuan.
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 saying this, 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 at home."
Zhu Xin even drank Houttuynia cordata tea, and now he is even more looking forward to watermelon. After taking one sip, I felt the sweet taste burst into my mouth. I quickly sucked the juice that almost leaked out and ate a piece in two or three times!
He thought to himself, no wonder the dog just ate it so deliciously. Looking at the looks in their eyes, he knew that the rind of the melon must be 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."
But she really didn't think 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..."
This is so sentimental! Zhu Xin's heart was broken into pieces.
But... His mother has always annoyed him with his bad words since he was a child, 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.
“I don’t sell watermelons, and there aren’t many in the fields. But I can give you one.”
Zhu Xin ate the third piece again, and said with a false politeness: "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, do 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, there is not much money.
But...he's here, the tea is delicious, and the melons are delicious.
He sighed: "I'll see you soon..."
Before I could say the rest of my words, my 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 is no hope for martial arts, but I have to wait for you to figure it out before I can be reliable!”
Good night…Good night. I’ll try again tomorrow (the end of every month is like ddl, procrastination is more likely to break out at this time, and life and death will happen quickly...)
Come on, come on, don’t let your monthly pass expire...
…
…
In our place, when the groom comes to pick up the woman when she gets married, the woman has to "block the door" and pass some small games and tests to stop the groom, which is quite lively.
