Chapter 229: The Chen Family, Chen Jiu'er
Updated: 2013-01-26
"Huh, you...... It's very unusual!"
Chen Xin'er looked at Tang Ning in surprise. What she said was very unusual, not only surprised that Tang Ning could accurately tell the ingredients in the iced tea after tasting it, but also had another level of meaning, as for what it was, only she knew it. Tang Ning felt something, but he didn't know if it was accurate. I just felt that the girl named Chen Xin'er in front of me should have something to say to herself, but she had scruples, or it was difficult to speak.
This made Downing curious. At the same time, there is also some faint expectation in my heart. He is not in a hurry, if Chen Xin'er really has something to say to himself, or is it ...... If she asks for something, she will definitely say it, and surely before she and the others leave here.
"Yes, I have some powder made from ice core lotus seeds and snow hibiscus petals. Nourish yin and moisten the lungs, clear away heat and fire, and prevent heat stroke, I have tried it, and the effect is better than Huoxiang Zhengqi water. In the summer, it is the best way to make iced tea. But I have a question, and I don't know whether to ask it or not. At this time, Chen Xin'er was like a curious baby, under the good-looking willow eyebrows, the pair of clear eyes were full of strong curiosity and desire for knowledge.
"You're welcome, please. Tang Ning said with a smile, but thought in his heart, this girl should also be good at pharmacology, if she and the scorpion girl Tao Qianqian of the Tao family are put together, it is estimated that ...... Well, that exchange scene should be good!
"As far as I know, all lotus seeds taste almost the same, how can you be sure that I use ice core lotus seeds? And the origin is still Fujian? As for the snow hibiscus you can taste, it is even more surprising. Snow hibiscus is a very rare variety of hibiscus flowers, which is difficult to see by ordinary people, and the taste is much lighter than other similar flower species. It is used to make tea, and after being scalded and diluted in boiling water, the unique floral aroma is basically covered by other ingredients or the aroma of tea. If you are not an expert nutritionist with specially trained taste buds, it will be difficult to tell. But you only taste a small bite, and you taste it. I can also tell the exact place of origin. Can you tell me why?"
Sister Xin'er, who had a good impression, spoke, and of course Zhou Yu had to help. He then echoed: "Yes, Ningzi, oh, no, Da Neng, Tang Da Neng! This thing is slightly bitter in the mouth, but the taste is really good." And after swallowing, there is still a residual fragrance at the base of the tongue. But how do you come up with the ingredients? You seem like you're drinking this kind of iced tea for the first time, right?"
"Uh-huh, this stuff tastes better than cold water. Old...... That Chen Xin'er, do you have anything more? Pour me another glass. β
"Sister Xin'er, take care of him. Not even a person can be called. Zhou Yu said, reaching out to hold down the teapot. But Chen Xin'er took a step ahead of him and picked up the teapot and poured a full cup for Jiang Tao. "Don't worry, I'll go back and fill it up when I'm gone. There's a lot of it in the freezer. β
This time it was Jiang Tao's turn to be embarrassed. "Thank you...... Thank you, Sister Xin, Sister Xin'er ......"
He had to work hard to say that Sister Xin'er called him, and his face turned red. Under the playful eyes of Tang Ning and Zhou Yu, he was sitting on pins and needles, holding a cup in both hands, and he didn't drink it, and he didn't drink it. glared at Tang Ning fiercely and said, "What are you looking at? Didn't you hear Sister Xin and Sister Xin'er ask......?" IβI'm going to go somewhere else. β
Unable to stand the teasing eyes of the two buddies, Jiang Tao ran away and took the cup full of iced tea with him. I didn't ask the owner if he could wander around the yard casually. Is there a secret that should be hidden or not, and is there a private forbidden place that outsiders cannot trespass. Just disappeared into the front yard.
Chen Xin'er's expression did not change, and she did not mean to stop it, indicating that this huge courtyard could be walked around casually. Tang Ning was relieved, he didn't have to worry about Jiang Xiaozi's accident, so he could save him.
Back to the topic. He picked up the cup and shook it gently in front of the two people who were staring at him. Smiling, he said, "It's actually very simple. I can taste this iced tea that Sister Xin'er, you have mixed with ice core lotus seeds and snow hibiscus, because I have seen this kind of thing before and used it. As for knowing where they come from, it's even simpler. Because in the whole of Chinese mainland, only near the Shaolin Temple in Putian, Fujian, there is such a thing. The ice core lotus seed itself is a hybrid breed cultivated by Master Dehui of Shaolin Temple in Putian, I don't remember the specific year. Anyway, it was the two years before and after liberation. Snow hibiscus is a foreign product, and the origin is in Australia. Because it is different from other varieties of the same kind, and it is not easy to cultivate, and the pharmacological properties are relatively narrow, so only those who specifically like to use snow hibiscus will breed them, and the yield is extremely rare. β
Saying this, the smile on Tang Ning's face became stronger. said: "Sister Xin'er, I have to admire you. Whether it's ice core lotus seeds or snow hibiscus, it's not something that is easy to get your hands on, and you have it all here. Hehe, you're the real extraordinary!"
Chen Xin'er is really not used to being praised in person, and she blushes at every turn. The shy appearance is cute, and the little hands are waving, anxious to justify: "Where is it, I'm just ......"
"Sister Xin'er, I heard Uncle Lao Qing say that you brought the guests back. It's still three handsome guys, where are they...... Oh, here! Is that them? Huh? What's the two? Didn't you mean three people?"
The voice was crisp, lively, like a bell ringing, mellow, sweet, and pleasant, and what appeared with the voice was a little girl who was jumping and running over, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a double ponytail. The bangs in front of the forehead are neat and level with the eyebrows. Pink round face, big eyes, straight nose, small mouth, shiny and delicate skin, the same white crewneck short-sleeved shirt, a big toothed Bugs Bunny printed on the chest, cropped pants. is different from Chen Xin'er's dress except for the pattern on the chest of the two. Everything else is basically the same.
It's just that one is beautiful and beautiful, the other is eccentric, and there is a lively and agile atmosphere everywhere.
The little girl smiled at the corner of her lips, and stood beside the stone table prettyly, close to Chen Xin'er. Tilting his little head, he looked at Tang Ning and Zhou Yu curiously. Sweet and lovely, delicate and innocent, a fresh fragrance unique to a girl permeates the surroundings.
"Sister Xin'er, who is she?" Zhou Yu's eyes lit up, and he asked in a daze.
"My name is Chen Jiu. You can call me Jiu'er or Jiujiu. The little girl hurriedly replied.
"She is also a member of your Chen family?" Zhou Yu blinked irrepressibly, and asked Chen Xin'er again.
"Oh, she's ......"
"Big brother, you look very smart, why are people so filed? I appeared here, and told you that my surname is Chen, if you are not from the Chen family, who else can you be? stupid to death. The little girl wrinkled her nose and rolled her eyes, and her expression was very cute and cute. The two ponytails also flicked back and forth with the movement of the head.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's stupid enough, because Sister Jiu'er, you are so beautiful, you blinded my brother's eyes, and my brain was blank, so I don't remember what you said. β
"Hmph, lie again, you call someone Jiu'er sister. Dare you say you didn't remember? You must have deceived a lot of girls. β
"Aha, yes, yes. Zhou Yu smiled dryly, he was just surprised by this girl's beautiful appearance. A typical little beauty embryo, in a few years, when the body grows up, and all aspects of physiology and psychology are matured, it will definitely be a first-class beauty!
The girl snorted, not paying attention to Zhou Yu, but looked at Tang Ning again, her long eyelashes fluttered twice, her big eyes blinked, and she said crisply: "This big brother, what's your name? Is it Sister Xin'er's boyfriend? It doesn't seem to be as big as her? Are you sisters and brothers?"
Chen Xin'er blushed suddenly, and said urgently: "Jiu'er, don't talk nonsense!"
At this time, Tang Ning suddenly stood up, raised his hand and stretched out his hand towards the face of the little girl in Jiu'er. Reaching out to her eyes, to be exact.
His sudden action startled Zhou Yu. Chen Xin'er was also stunned. I was about to open my mouth to stop it. But Downing's next action made her swallow back the words that almost burst out of her mouth. She knew what Downing was doing. It's just not clear how he found out. There was a strange light in his eyes. This child is really not ordinary! He can perceive things that are difficult for ordinary people to perceive, and he is meticulous in observing things around him, and he is extremely subtle and acute. It can be said that it does not correspond to its age. Thinking of this, the thought in her heart flooded violently again.
Tang Ning's hand stopped about an inch or so in front of the little girl's eyes, and then swung from side to side a few times. The little girl was still smiling and groaning on her face, not dodging or dodging. It seems that he didn't see the palm that was blocking his eyes. But you can feel the temperature of the palm of your hand.
The little girl giggled and raised her hand to remove the palm in front of her, but Tang Ning took it back first. whispered: "Sure enough, ......"
"Sure enough, Tang Ning, you were so rude just now, apologize to others. β
The little girl walked around to Tang Ning from behind Chen Xin'er, and stood still about two meters away, Bai Shengsheng's two little hands repeatedly rubbed the two jade and non-jade on the wrist, and they did not look like jade agate, a kind of white transparent glass-like bracelet, with an innocent smile on her face, and her feet stepped on small broken steps, and walked slowly towards Tang Ning.
"No, this big brother is testing me. Right?"
"Test you, test you?"
"You ask him?"
"Tang Ning?" Zhou Yu turned his head to look at Tang Ning and said loudly.
"She really can't see it!"
"What can't you see? can't you see...... What?" Zhou Yu's mouth opened and closed, and he jumped up from the stone bench in shock. He turned his head to look at the little girl who was as cute as a porcelain doll. Especially her big clear, black and white eyes.
"Giggle...... Stupid big brother, you don't have to stare at people, that smart big brother is right, I ...... It's blind!"
The footsteps did not stop, and continued to walk towards Tang Ning, raising his hand to stroke the bangs in front of his forehead, and asked as he walked: "Smart big brother, can you tell the sΓΉ family, how did you find out?"
"Hehe, it's actually nothing, I'm just ......" Tang Ning suddenly paused, and his body flashed to the side. ^-^^-^
