Chapter 201: Seeds

"This vegetable works so well?" Cheng Wanyi asked curiously. ()

Gu Yaluo asked rhetorically, "Doesn't the little aunt feel it?" ”

"Yes!" Cheng Wanyi touched her face and said, "I feel that this face is a lot slippery." Then he asked, "But why, aren't they all vegetables?" How big of a difference is that? ”

"I don't use pesticides or chemical fertilizers in my vegetable garden, and it grows naturally, and its vitamins and dietary fiber are higher than ordinary vegetables." Gu Yaluo explained.

"I see." Cheng Wanyi nodded.

"Is that enough?" Gu Zhanshuo picked up the vegetable basket and handed it to her.

The rattan basket was full of tomatoes, beans, coriander, water spinach, spinach, eggplant, peppers, loofahs, and a large pumpkin.

"Big brother, cut two more bunches of grapes for my little aunt." Gu Yaluo raised her eyes and said.

"Enough, enough." Cheng Wanyi waved her hand.

"Little aunt, you see that this vine is about to crush, help solve it." Gu Yaluo chuckled.

"I thank you on behalf of my grandfather." Cheng Wanyi smiled, "I'll go down first." ”

"Little aunt, go slowly!" Gu Zhanshuo said.

"Auntie, let's just send the food down, don't bother you to come up." Gu Zhanyan looked at Zhu Cuiyun who came up and said.

"I'll take two cucumbers and mix them cold." Zhu Cuiyun came up and said.

"There's it in the basket, I'll get it for you." Gu Zhanshuo took three thorns, with a small yellow flower on his head, and handed her a straight and smooth cucumber.

"What lunch do you want to bring for lunch?" Zhu Cuiyun asked after taking the cucumber.

After eating home-grown fruits and vegetables for several months, Zhu Cuiyun felt obvious, especially the skin changes, white and red, and her complexion was very good. The gastrointestinal function is also very good.

The children complained that the food in the school cafeteria was not delicious, so Zhu Cuiyun worked hard and began to prepare bento boxes for the children and Lu Jiangzhou.

"Assorted egg fried rice." Gu Yaluo said immediately.

"Braised pork rice!" Gu Zhanshuo immediately said.

"Barbecued pork rice." Gu Zhanyan hurriedly said.

"Auntie, put more vegetables." Gu Zhanshuo said.

"Yes, needless to say, I'll put it too." Zhu Cuiyun smiled, "I'll go down first, and I'll come down for breakfast later." ”

"It's my aunt." The three of them responded crisply.

Zhu Cuiyun turned around. Seeing that Lucifer was also busy picking vegetables. He greeted with a smile, "Lucifer is also busy tending to the vegetable garden!" ”

"Yes! Auntie. Lucifer raised his eyes and smiled, "There aren't enough dishes to eat." I've got a lot here, you're welcome. ”

"You're welcome." Zhu Cuiyun smiled slightly, and then warmly invited, "Remember to go down for breakfast." ”

"Hey!" Lucifer replied dryly.

Lucifer relied on his personal charm. entered the house, and ate three meals a day at the Lu family.

Those vegetables picked in your hands. Of course, it was sent to the Yan family.

"Ding-dong...... Ding Dong ...... "Yan Hansong heard the doorbell ringing, and without waiting for the nanny to act, he ran to the door and brought the vegetable basket with his legs and feet.

He said in his heart, "This stinky boy. Even if you have a conscience, you haven't forgotten him. ”

Yan Zhenyu went downstairs and saw his father's smiling face, and he knew what was wrong.

Yan Hansong saw him coming. He said, "You've come just in time." Don't forget to put the money on his account. ”

"Dad, you don't need to say this, it's on time every month." Yan Zhenyu said with a smile.

Without a conflict of interest, Yan Zhenyu likes this younger brother more and more, especially when the supermarket first opened, it was inseparable from his advice.

This younger brother is really careful, and even the food is delivered to the door through the vegetable market, but this dish is really delicious and adds the taste of home, it is even more delicious.

"Fourth sister, let's set the meal!" Yan Hansong was on the main seat of the restaurant, and while the meal was setting, he said, "You kid, you are much better now, where did I see you accompany my bad old man for breakfast before!" ”

"Dad, it's my son who is not filial, and I will accompany you in the future." Yan Zhenyu said seriously.

"Humph! It's not that the food he sent is delicious. Don't be you, my old eyes are dizzy. Yan Hansong wrenched his face and said, "If you are really filial, marry me a few serious women and come back, I am waiting to hold my grandson!" In addition, send me all your warblers and swallows. ”

The corners of Yan Zhenyu's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he lowered his head and said, "I'll think about it seriously." ”

The mafia brother who is majestic outside is just a filial son in front of the old man.

Grandpa Cheng, who got the vegetables, was happy! This old face smiled like a chrysanthemum.

"Old man, if we go on a trip, we won't be able to eat this dish." Grandma Cheng patted his arm and said, a little reluctant to leave.

"Say what? I've already said hello to the children, how can I not believe what I say! Isn't it just a year? Endure it. Grandpa Cheng said boldly.

"Wanyi's mother, hurry up and wash these two bunches of grapes." Grandpa Cheng said with grapes.

"Here, please wait a moment for Dad, Mom, and Grandma." Cheng's mother ran over with the fruit plate, washed it and brought it out.

"Wanyi's mother, don't worry, we'll leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival." Grandma Cheng peeled a grape and stuffed it into Grandpa Cheng's mouth.

"Oops! Mom, don't go if you don't like it, it's tiring to travel. Cheng's mother squatted beside the coffee table and said, "What if I get constipated after I go out?" ”

"It's hard to change the journey that has been arranged." Grandpa Cheng waved his hand and said, saying that he began to peel grapes and eat them by himself, "Wanyi's mother, we miss your brother-in-law and sister-in-law very much." ”

In a word, what is Cheng's mother not saying? It's just that how to deliver this vegetable? Even if there is a way to send it, it is estimated that it is rotten, and it is not easy to pass the safety quarantine.

Cheng's mother thought for a while and said, "Dad, Mom, in this case, I'll pull out all the flowers and plants in the back garden!" Let's plant vegetables too, and I'll ask Wanyi for some vegetable seeds! ”

She always felt that she was in a hurry to go to her son-in-law's house to see that the vegetables in the heavenly realm were inferior to them, although the gifts were still exchanged, and they all gave some meat products such as steak and sea fish, which were much more expensive than vegetables.

But after all, it was he who opened his mouth first.

"Good, this good!" Grandpa Cheng nodded hurriedly. "I'm calling." He said impatiently.

After listening to Cheng Wanyi's words, the corners of Gu Yaluo's mouth twitched, and it seemed that the magic seed had to bubble in the magic water.

Although it can't be compared with the vegetables in the rooftop vegetable garden, it is much more vitamin and dietary fiber than the vegetables sold in the market.

Three days later, the seeds were delivered to Cheng's house along with vegetables.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the "Tree Mid-Autumn Festival" activity will be carried out. "Tree" is also known as "vertical", that is, the meaning of erecting the lanterns high.

With the help of their parents, the children of the Lu family also used bamboo paper to tie rabbit lanterns, star fruit lanterns or square lanterns.

The sweetness of moon cakes, the tenderness of lotus roots, and the fragrance of water chestnuts, eating water chestnuts during the Mid-Autumn Festival can make children grow smart and smart. Therefore, Zhu Cuiyun always uses water chestnut to make porridge during the Mid-Autumn Festival. After eating the sweet and greasy moon cakes, drink a bowl of water chestnut porridge, and remove a lot of greasy oil in the stomach on the spot. It can also be cooked in water or salted water and then shelled and eaten as a snack.

Folk believe that the Mid-Autumn Festival snail can be eye-catching, and it is the fattest at this time. The old man who is familiar with the customs said that on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the family got together, took the snail, raised it to the moon, and then sent it to the mouth for a sip, which is "sipping snail meat on the moon, the more you sip your eyes, the brighter it is".
