Chapter 250: A Rare Gift
The front yard of the Tan family.
As soon as Xu and Kang Jin's mother and son left, Zhao immediately instructed Tan Decai to go to the town to buy some fish, the meat was already available, and asked Wu to catch an old hen and kill it, and then simmer it to make soup.
Seeing that the Zhao family stammered with the Kang family's mother and son, the Wu family was naturally sour.
can be sour, and the work that Zhao ordered to do did did not dare to be sloppy, and at the same time, he also wanted to please the Kang family.
"Old woman, you did the right thing." Old Man Tan praised the Zhao family rarely.
"I'm not doing something right." The Zhao family glared at Old Man Tan with some dissatisfaction, but soon said with a smile, "The Kang family is generous, and the relationship with them is closer, and it will not suffer a loss to us." It doesn't cost much to invite them to a meal, but it makes people feel comfortable and believe that they won't lose us in the future. ”
The Zhao family, who is good at calculation, this little abacus is 'snapping'.
"Old woman, you ...... Alas, when dealing with people, you can't just think about whether you will suffer or not, sometimes it is a blessing to suffer losses. Just like the time when the boss split the family, it seemed that he suffered a loss, but he got a pond of lotus root for nothing, which is God's compensation for his loss. So, old woman, it's better to be loyal. Old Man Tan shook his head helplessly, and he had a headache at Zhao's difficult to change his calculations.
"Zhilu Dao, Zhilu Dao, I'm doing this now, didn't I listen to what you said last time, I have to bring the hearts of the boss's family over, you dead old man, I did it, and gossip there." Zhao was angry at Old Man Tan.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that, let's get down to business. For the first time, I invited the Kang family to dinner. Then be more considerate inside and out. Otherwise, your hard work will be in vain. Old Man Tan didn't want to quarrel with the Zhao family, so he had to raise his hand and surrender.
"Don't worry, I know this, and when the time comes, the patriarch will also be called over to accompany him, which shows that we attach importance to the Kang family." Zhao nodded in response.
"Done." Old Man Tan nodded in response.
At this time, it was not yet time for lunch, so Zhao went to see Wu at work, and told Wu to cut the vegetables beautifully, and not to lose face in front of the guests at night.
Wu meekly responded.
Here, the Zhao family was racking their brains thinking about how to treat the Kang family well at night. Over there, Qiduo saw a carriage approaching, and the corners of her eyes instinctively twitched.
She was familiar with the carriage.
It's Wen Xiuyi.
Why is he here again? Isn't he afraid that his grandmother will beat him?
Even though he is married, there is still something wrong with his grandmother's eyes when she looks at him.
At the moment of Qiduo's doubts, the carriage had stopped steadily in front of her.
"Little Seven." The first thing that came to my ears was not Wen Xiuyi's voice, but Xu Youxuan's voice.
Qiduo raised his eyes, only to see Xu Youxuan and Wen Xiuyi get off the carriage one after the other.
Xu Youxuan is wearing a lake-blue robe, and Wen Xiuyi is a moon-white brocade robe, clean and refreshing, with shining black eyes.
"Brother Xu. Mr. Wen. The corners of Qiduo's lips lifted slightly, and a smile bloomed.
In fact, she really wanted to ask the two foodies. You come to my house often, is it really good?
Wen Xiuyi looked at Qiduo, as if she had seen through her thoughts, Wen Shengshou, "Xiao Qi, aren't we welcome to come over?" ”
"Hehe, Master Wen, how can it be, you and Brother Xu are distinguished guests, and if you can come to our house, it will give us a lot of face, how can you not welcome it?" Seven teeth almost bit their tongues, how could this man talk like that.
However, she did have a little weak-heartedness.
"Hehe, there's no best." Wen Xiuyi raised the corners of her lips and smiled, her dark eyes blinked lightly, and the rippling light inside made Qiduo droop her eyes.
He was laughing, but she seemed to hear him grinding his teeth.
Thinking of the last time, in order to beg him to see a doctor for Yan's father, he had made a promise to welcome him as a guest anytime and anywhere, and there was something good to eat and drink to remember him.
In that case, she didn't hesitate to accede to his request, thinking that it might just be a joke.
Now that I think about it, it was so fast.
This thing is not the kind of thin-skinned person, he actually took that word seriously, looking at his current appearance, it is obvious that he is not enthusiastic enough.
Hateful!
Xu Youxuan nudged Wen Xiuyi beside him, "Xiuyi, you guy, why did you bully Xiao Qi." Don't worry, Xiao Qi is the most hospitable, what do you want to eat, just say it to Xiao Qi. ”
Then he looked at Qiduo again and scandalized Wen Xiuyi, "Xiao Qi, Xiuyi is the most greedy, and if he hasn't eaten the food you cooked for a few days, he will die of hunger, so he has to pull me over." ”
Seven pursed lips.
Wen Xiuyi gently kicked Xu Youxuan with his toes and glared at him, "That's you." Then he looked at Qiduo, "Ahem, I'm not here today, it's not just to eat, it's to give you good things." ”
"What's good?" Qiduo's eyes sparkled when he looked at Wen Xiuyi, the good things he said should not be bad.
Wen Xiuyi took out a small purse from his sleeve cage and handed it to Qiduo, "Seeds." ”
Concise.
"What seeds?" Qiduo took the small purse and couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Lover's fruit." Without waiting for Wen Xiuyi to answer, Xu Youxuan hurriedly answered, and raised his eyebrows at Qiduo.
"Ah, Lover's Fruit? What is this? Qiduo was a little confused for a while, is there any fruit called this name in the world?
Wen Xiuyi's face quickly flashed an imperceptible red, squinted at Xu Youxuan again, and then said to Qiduo, "Don't listen to his nonsense, this is a tomato seed, I believe you should be able to use it." ”
Ahh
Seven flowers are a little excited, tomatoes don't seem to be here, this is a rare variety.
At the same time, she suddenly realized, in fact, Xu Youxuan called the tomato a lover's fruit is not wrong, in the previous life I had read an article about the tomato, it is an alien variety, when it was first discovered, people saw it colorful, did not dare to eat, worried that it was poisonous.
After that, it gradually evolved into a gift between lovers, only for ornamental purposes, so there is and called it love fruit or lover's fruit.
It wasn't until much later that some kind of great power salivated at the beautiful appearance of the tomato and tasted it with a mortal heart.
After this taste. Everyone knows that tomatoes are not only non-toxic. On the contrary, it tastes great. Finally, it was made to the Hall of Elegance and was made into a variety of delicacies for people to taste.
Tomato seeds were not surprising in previous lives, but here, they are really rare and precious.
After all, this thing was passed from abroad, where can ordinary people get seeds?
When Qiduo was about to happily thank Wen Xiuyi, he suddenly thought of one thing, he was just a small village girl at the moment. Where do you know what a tomato is?
Since you don't know anything, how can you show that you are particularly happy?
She hurriedly put back the smile that was about to overflow, looked at Wen Xiuyi and Xu Youxuan, blinked her big eyes a few times, and asked blankly, "Young Master Wen, Brother Xu, what is this tomato?" Can you eat it? ”
Wen Xiuyi looked deeply at Qiduo's eyes, and the corners of his lips hooked, revealing a perfect arc. Smile on your face.
Qiduo was a little weak by him.
This question doesn't need to be answered by Wen Xiuyi, Xu Youxuan is already talking quickly. "Xiao Qi, let me tell you, this tomato seed is not easy to come by, it was brought by Xiuyi from the capital, as for whether it can be eaten, I don't know very well, but I heard Xiuyi say that the fruit produced after this thing grows is very beautiful, and the taste will be very special.
Xiao Qi, you hurry up and plant them, I'm still waiting to taste them. ”
Wen Xiuyi specially asked someone to bring me tomato seeds?
How could he be so kind?
Why did he do this?
How did he know that Tomatoes could be eaten?
The previous thought rose in his heart again, and the more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became.
Originally, it was just a simple seed, but now the seven flowers weigh more than a thousand catties in my hand, and I don't know whether to accept it or return it.
Although these seeds are really precious, and she really wants them, but after thinking about it, she still handed her purse to Wen Xiuyi, "Young Master Wen, listening to Brother Xu say this, I can't ask for these seeds, they are too precious." ”
Wen Xiuyi first glared at Xu Youxuan, and then smiled at Qiduo, "Xiao Qi, you think too much, I'm just hungry for the taste of tomatoes, it just so happens that your family has land to plant, plus your cooking skills are good, in order to make it easier for you to make tomatoes then, I will bring it to you to help plant it." I just don't know if this season is still good now, and I delayed some time on the road, otherwise it would have arrived a long time ago. ”
Saying this, Wen Xiuyi walked towards the courtyard with his hands behind his back and a leisurely expression, as if he had entered his own yard.
Qiduo pursed his lips, he said so, and the seed had to be accepted.
But she knew that it was too late to plant tomatoes.
However, she is confident that she can grow well.
"Xiao Qi, plant it well, whether we can eat fresh tomatoes or not, everything depends on you." Xu Youxuan added, and then also entered the courtyard.
Qiduo sighed lightly, put away the purse, and did not enter the courtyard, but went to call Zheng Wanru first.
Wen Xiuyi and Xu Youxuan entered the courtyard of Qiduo's house, only to learn that there were other guests in her house.
However, the Kang family is also known to each other, and Kang Jin is very happy to see them, and finally has a man as his companion.
Especially Second Aunt Kang, when she saw Wen Xiuyi, she was so excited that she couldn't say anything, and she was busy saying thank you again.
Wen Xiuyi thanked the most annoying people, and after coping with two sentences, he and Xu Youxuan went into Tan Debao's house with Kang.
Of course, Wen Xiuyi and Xu Youxuan came to Qiduo's house, although they said that they were sending tomato seeds, they still brought some gifts to Xu and Tan Dejin, which was a basic courtesy, and they didn't dare to slack off.
When Xu saw Xu Youxuan, his mood was a little complicated, he was both happy and worried, worried that he would attract the rest of the Xu family.
At the same time, for Wen Xiuyi and Xu Youxuan coming so frequently, Xu and Tan Dejin both thought that it was because Xu Yixuan knew Xu's true identity, so they would often come and go.
In fact, where did they know that Xu Youxuan came to Qiduo's house several times, but he was brought by Wen Xiuyi.
Just like today, Xu Yixuan was stopped by Wen Xiuyi on the way back to the county seat.
Xu Youxuan didn't dare to see the Xu family, because the relationship between the Xu family and the Xu family had not yet been reconciled, he knew that the old lady Xu had a temper, if he annoyed his old man, don't talk about himself at that time, maybe even the Xu family will be affected.
Because of the addition of Xu Youxuan and Wen Xiuyi, Qiduo later added a few dishes.
The Zhao family and Old Man Tan also came over, and when they saw Xu Youxuan and Wen Xiuyi, they were overjoyed after being surprised. (To be continued......)
