Chapter 272: Stove Sugar
Hearing what Ah Li said about Oliver's difference, Yin Bing frowned and thought about it, and then Lingtong was also asking, "Where is Oliver now?"
Ah Li pointed back, "There, dinner is being handed out!"
Yin Bing and the others looked in the direction of Ah Li's finger, and saw Oliver coming out of a tent, his face full of happy and satisfied smiles, he waved his little hand and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome, I'm not also doing it, you don't have to worry, I will always help you bring food." You really don't have to thank me!"
Yin Bing retracted his gaze and asked, "Did he come back to tell you about our coming?"
The three female warriors looked at each other, then shook their heads together, and Luna nodded sharply as if she remembered something, "Oh yes, he told me that there was a bunch of bad guys chasing him, and they might open the shutter door." I'll just come here and take a look, and then I'll meet you!"
Yin Bing sneered, "I can't imagine that this kid is not only full of lies but also very clever, he thinks we don't know Luna, and wants to use Luna to kill us!"
Ah Li listened to Yin Bing's words and asked: "Are you talking about Oliver? He is not what you say, he is very good to the people here, bring them food, tell them about the outside affairs! and help people run errands, the people here will entrust Oliver to go to their house to get some daily necessities, he does it without complaint, and it is very fast!"
Yin Bing smiled: "He is a different face in front of us, he has deceived us many times, and he doesn't plan to tell us your news, and more importantly, he doesn't want people to save the living corpses all over the city." Looks like he's a man with a lot of secrets! Let's go, we'll meet him again!"
Saying that, Yin Bing took the lead in walking towards Oliver, and when Oliver saw Yin Bing and them coming, a panicked look flashed on his face, but he soon changed back to his cynical appearance.
He leaned on a pillar, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and said to Yin Bing first: "How about it, have you found your relatives? I just happened to see them and told them that you were looking for them!"
Yin Bing smiled: "Then I thank you!"
As he spoke, Yin Bing took out a long strip of candy from his pocket and handed it to Oliver, "Then, this is for you to taste, this is our Chinese sugar!"
Oliver took the candy and saw that it was slender, wrapped in a layer of sesame seeds, and very white on the inside. Oliver had never seen such candy before, and he was a little afraid to eat what Yin Bing gave, because he had just deceived Yin Bing and them, and he didn't believe that Yin Bing would not be angry with him.
Yin Bing also took out one himself, and took a big bite with a "click".
Oliver felt that he couldn't be cowardly, so he followed Yin Bing's example and took a bite of candy. When you bite into it, the sugar is very crispy, and when you eat it, the sweetness of it comes out, and the sugar becomes very sticky and sticks to your teeth.
Oliver felt the taste of this sugar, it was very sweet, as sweet as ...... Macarons, Oliver loves to eat macarons, and before this incident broke out, he had only eaten macarons once, and that was when his mother bought them for his eighth birthday. In fact, there is really no other taste of macarons except for being so sweet, but he still thinks that the macarons he ate that day are the happiest taste in the world.
After the accident in the city, he sneaked into the cake shop and got a few macarons to eat, but for some reason he always felt that it was not as delicious as the food on his eighth birthday. The long candy he ate today was not only sweet but also fragrant, and the mouthful of sesame seeds became more and more fragrant as he chewed. Chewing and chewing, he found that the candy was so sticky that he couldn't even open his mouth, but it added a kind of fun to eating bubble gum.
Yin Bing looked at him and laughed, and simply sat down against the pillar, Yin Bing patted the position next to him, and let Oliver also sit next to him. Oliver originally wanted to refuse, but he couldn't be cowardly, so he sat next to Yin Bing as if he was gasped.
Yin Bing asked him, "Are you sticky to your teeth?"
Oliver thought that Yin Bing was making fun of him, and he didn't look at Yin Bing, but he said, "What kind of broken sugar are you in China?!" He wanted to spit out the sugar, but because it was really delicious, it was even better than the macarons on his eighth birthday, and he was reluctant to vomit in the end.
Yin Bing still smiled and said: "This sugar is called stove sugar, and it is a delicacy that our country eats before the Chinese New Year. We have a festival called Spring Festival, which is our biggest festival of the year, just like your Christmas. Many people start preparing for the Spring Festival a month or two ago. According to the Spring Festival, there are about seven days left, and we also have a festival called Xiao Nian, and after this Xiao New Year, it means that the New Year begins.
Legend has it that the Lord of the Stove is the god sent by the Jade Emperor to the world to supervise good and evil, and it is responsible for contacting the feelings of heaven and earth, and transmitting the message of the fairy land and the mortal world. Therefore, when it went to heaven, people offered it candy, firstly, hoping that it had eaten sweets and would say more good words in front of the Jade Emperor, and secondly, they hoped that it would stick to his mouth and let him not say bad things.
So, this stove candy is made sweet and sticky. I still put this candy for me before I went out, Meow Ya looked at the upcoming New Year, but now I don't know where she is, whether she is still alive!"
Young people love to listen to other people's stories, and Yin Bing's folk customs immediately attracted him, "Brother, I really didn't expect this candy to have such a quick story! But the person called the Lord of the Stove should be quite embarrassed, if his mouth is really stuck by this sugar, wouldn't he not only can't say bad things, but also can't say good things?"
Yin Bing nodded, "It's not, this moment makes people say more good things sweetly, and then they stick their mouths to prevent them from saying the wrong things, which is really embarrassing." However, this is a mythical story, and as soon as we hear and enjoy it, we will take care of it!"
Saying that, Yin Bing took another bite of candy, and Oliver was not to be left behind, he followed and took a big bite.
Yin Bing looked at Oliver and asked, "How is it, this candy is delicious, right?"
Oliver smiled and nodded, and said indistinctly, "Delicious!
Yin Bing asked again: "Do you know why everyone else is infected with this disease, but you are fine?"
Oliver was eating happily, but when he heard Yin Bing ask, his face immediately changed slightly, he shook his head, and said, "I don't know." How could I possibly know?"
Yin Bing saw that he was resisting again, and immediately pointed to the gauze on his forehead and asked, "How did you get injured here? Is it serious? It just so happens that I know some medical skills, I can help you take a look!"
Oliver still shook his head, "It's almost ready, it's been a long time, it's time to put it in the flail, it's okay and you don't need to see it." Sister Xuanya was afraid that I would be infected and asked me to bring this gauze, but in fact, it's okay if you don't have to!"
"Did you fall while running when you noticed something happened around you that day?"
