Chapter 807: Ice Cream and Piano (4/4, Adding More to the World-Changing Winter)
Yang Yi and Murphy don't care how many attractions they can visit, on the contrary, they really play words to the extreme, and the rhythm is outrageously slow!
They walked around Murphy's elementary school, and with all kinds of photo shoots, the morning time passed in the blink of an eye. Similarly, in the afternoon, they went to the antique store that Murphy said, and by the way, they took Xixi to pick out two gifts for their grandfather and grandmother, and most of the time passed!
"Shall we go and have ice cream, and then walk around that Plaza San Lucas, and then go back?" Murphy suggested, "or we won't be back later, and it's going to be dark." ”
"Are you going back so soon?" It's fun to go shopping, and Xixi still has some unfinished business.
Of course, more importantly, she can go shopping with her parents, which is not many opportunities in China!
"It's better to go back early, so that my grandparents don't have to worry. Yang Yi patted his daughter's shoulder and said with a smile, "Didn't you say you wanted to eat ice cream?
"That's right, I want to eat ice cream!Baba, let's hurry up and eat ice cream!" Xixi reacted at this time, and immediately took her father's hand again, and couldn't wait to walk in the front.
The ice-cream shop Murphy is talking about is next to Plaza San Lucas, a small tin shop that stands on the side of the road like a newsstand, but although the ice-cream shop is small, there are many customers outside, and there are already a small queue of people waiting!
The climate in Texas in summer is relatively hot and dry, and there is less humidity in the air, especially on a hot afternoon, a spoonful of cold and delicious ice cream is definitely a fairy treat.
After queuing for a while, it was finally Yang Yi's turn to buy ice cream.
"What do you want?" said a middle-aged woman selling ice cream, but she smiled just as brightly, giving people a sense of intimacy, "There are small cups, medium cups, large cups, and super large cups." ”
"Small cup, medium cup, large cup, super large cup......" Yang Yi paused, "How big is it?"
The middle-aged woman smiled, did not compare with Yang Yi, but directly took out a few paper tubes and showed them to Yang Yi.
The small glass is similar to a normal sundae cup, the medium glass is like a water glass, the large glass is a bit like a prickly beer glass in a bar, and the extra large glass is ...... It's really super big, almost the size of a popcorn bucket, and you need to hold it and eat it.
No wonder the people of the United States are so fat......
"I want a super large cup!" Xixi couldn't see what the clerk was showing, but she couldn't wait to jump high and shout happily in English.
"The jumbo is too big for you to eat. Murphy laughed, "A small cup is just right, and it won't hurt my stomach." ”
From the extra-large cup to the smallest cup, the difference is just too big.
Xixi shook her head anxiously: "No, I want to eat a lot of ice cream." ”
Mom often pretends to be blackfaced, so Xixi turned her eyes to her father, she held her father's hand, and asked her father for help: "Baba, I don't want to eat a small cup, I want to eat a super large cup." ”
"There are so many super large cups!" Yang Yi smiled and gestured, "You can let your head get into it, how can you finish eating?"
Xixi looked at her father in surprise, her eyes couldn't move, as if she was thinking about who could eat such a big cup. However, she still wants to eat a lot of ice cream, what should she do?
"I can't finish eating, Baba can help me eat!" Xixi suddenly had an idea and said with a grin.
couldn't discuss it for too long, and there were still people waiting in line behind him, so Yang Yi thought of a compromise solution.
"In this way, let's buy two medium cups and a small cup, Xixi, you try, see if you can finish eating the medium cup, if you can't finish eating, Dad will help you eat the rest, after eating, then you can eat a small cup, okay? Dad won't eat first, a small cup, a medium cup, it adds up to almost a big cup." Yang Yi said.
In fact, the sum of the two medium cups is almost a big cup, and Yang Yi blurred this concept.
Xi Xi balanced it and felt that it was almost as if a big cup was about the same, so she happily agreed.
"The strawberry flavor is delicious, and the blueberry flavor is also delicious, and of course, the purest milk flavor, you can also try it. The rest was for Murphy to pick, and she explained to Yang Yi with great interest while telling the clerk her choice.
After a while, Yang Yi carried an environmentally friendly cardboard box, took Murphy who was pushing a stroller, and Xixi, who couldn't wait to jump around his father, to a stone table with shade and sat down.
When I opened the carton, the snow-white milk ice cream was like a snow-capped mountain, and the small cup was raised high, and some finely chopped peanuts were sprinkled on it, like a few more craggy stones on the snow-capped mountain, which did not destroy its original beauty at all!
And the other two ice creams are beautiful!
The bright red jam of the strawberry ice cream is as fresh as running water, divided into several strands and embedded on each side of the snowy mountain, and the blueberry jam of the blueberry ice cream is kneaded into the ice cream, and the whole snow-capped mountain is light purple, and a few blueberries with frost are also dotted on top.
"Wow! I really want to eat!" Xi Xi snuggled up to her father's side, looked at the real thing in surprise, and couldn't help but lick her lips, revealing a small pink tongue.
Xixi picked the most colorful strawberry ice cream, and the little girl was reluctant to sit down, so she stood at the table, dug a little with a small spoon, and put it in her mouth.
"Hmm!" the little girl's big beautiful eyes were bent, and the sweet taste of ice cream was expressed in her expression.
"Is it delicious?" Yang Yi asked with a smile. He was not in a hurry to eat, he promised Xixi to reserve a small cup of ice cream for her, and Yang Yi actually didn't have much desire for ice cream, not as much as Xixi and Murphy.
"Delicious, delicious!" Xixi dug up a big spoonful again, this time, after she finished eating, she grabbed the small spoon and jumped up in place excitedly, her two little hands were still shaking there, as if she was about to fly up.
"Husband, you can eat with me!" Murphy used his spoon to dig a piece of blueberry ice cream and handed it to Yang Yi's mouth.
Or my wife loves herself!
Yang Yi didn't care about Murphy's spoon at this time, and lowered his head and swallowed it. As he tasted it, he looked into Murphy's eyes, his eyes full of love,
"I'm delicious, isn't it?" Murphy laughed, "Blueberry-flavored, it's my favorite with strawberry-flavored!"
"Your ice cream is good, it should be all handmade, it has a fine sand texture, with a clear sense of layering, and the taste is also great!" Yang Yi said with a smile.
"I also want to eat blueberry flavors. Xixi was eating her strawberry-flavored ice cream, and when she heard her father's praise, she looked at it again.
"You taste it!" Murphy handed over.
Xixi happily took a bite and tasted it: "It's also delicious, but it's still mine!"
But it seems that inspired by the interaction between mom and dad, the little girl did not eat alone, she also generously pushed out her own ice cream, and said, "Baba Mama, you can eat my ice cream too!
In the end, it was decided that everyone would eat together, Xixi could still happily dig east and west, feeling that all the ice cream was hers, this kind of enjoyment was indescribable, anyway, she bit the little spoon, and she could grin at her father for a while!
Of course, Xixi actually couldn't eat much, the little girl's stomach was full after a while, and there was still half a cup left, she pushed it to her father, and then sat on the stone chair contentedly, enjoying a moment of silence.
Yang Yi cleaned up the mess, looked down at his daughter's shy and satisfied appearance, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
On this hot summer afternoon, it is really nice to sit in the square and eat ice cream leisurely with your beloved family!
It would be nice to have a little more music with you!
Yang Yi looked at the stage of the performance in the middle of the San Lucas Square, Murphy had introduced to Yang Yi before, this is a municipal square, and there are usually some performances, not only cowboy activities, but also performances by some community elderly art troupes held by citizens themselves, etc.
There are people on the stage right now working on some sets and equipment, and it is estimated that there will be some performance activities in the evening. However, what attracted Yang Yi's attention more was a piano that was displayed on it early. Just now, Murphy and he saw that although it was only an upright piano, it was a piano after all!
