Chapter 204: Sugar is Sweet, Stone Is Hard
Xiantu's concern made the old man very excited, and the old man treated Xiantu as his own grandson, and naturally there was a lot of reluctance in his heart.
"The lord is very good to our second elder, even if it is his own child, we will visit the lord when we have time, and I hope that the lord will take care of himself and live every day happily."
"Uncle, I ate so many of your things this time, there are some broken silver here, what you buy is also a grandson's thoughts." As he spoke, he took out the broken silver from his sleeve and handed it to the old man.
The old man stretched out his hand and said: "Good boy, quickly put the silver back, our old couple has lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests for many years, and they have long ceased to go out, there are wild fruits on the mountains here in summer, and we have our own grain in the autumn, and we don't need silver at all, those bacon are migratory birds that the old man hunted in the mountains in early winter, and the migratory birds here can't fly out in winter and fall in the woods, and they are easy to catch if they look sluggish, so they don't have to worry about our two elders when they eat and drink." ”
Hearing what the old man said, Xiantu put away the broken silver in his hand and instructed the Li brothers: "Qingxian Qinghong, you two will give some of the grain we brought to the old man, and tell the soldiers to go to the mountains to cut some firewood for the old man to spend the winter, as well as the old man's windows and doors, you also want to repair them, so that the old man can have a warm winter." ”
"Yes, sir, our two brothers will be ordered." The Li brothers responded very positively, but the old man was extremely reluctant but couldn't resist the persistence of the first plan, so he let everyone be busy with him, and the old man who was only happy greeted him with tea and water.
As soon as he settled down, Xiantu had to leave with everyone. The old man was reluctant to leave Xiantu with a handful of snot and tears, and Xiantu was naturally very sad to say goodbye to the second old man.
"Uncle, mother-in-law. disturbed your tranquility, my grandson is really sorry, my grandson has nothing else to give, I brought a few pieces of hard candy before leaving home, and I gave it to you to taste, and it was a piece of filial piety for my grandson. After Xiantu finished speaking, he took out the candy cubes of the 21st century and handed them to the old man. I was reluctant to say goodbye to them.
The old man opened the candy wrapper with a strange expression, and asked very puzzledly: "Sir, this crystal clear thing is like a stone." Can it be swallowed? ”
Xiantu smiled indifferently and said, "This is in your mouth, you must not swallow it, otherwise it will be as uncomfortable as eating a stone." ”
"Then we still won't eat it. If you are not careful, you should not swallow a stone. ”
"It's okay. You take it in your mouth slowly, and it will slowly melt in your mouth, and it will not be as uncomfortable as a stone, and my grandson is just joking, I don't believe you can taste it. ”
Although the old man didn't believe it, he didn't doubt what Xiantu said, only to see him open his mouth wide and show an exaggerated expression, and slowly put the sugar into his mouth.
The moment the sugar is placed in the mouth. The old man was stunned, standing there motionless. The old woman was frightened when she saw the old man's appearance, and she was in a cold sweat. shouted the old man's name to make him quickly sober up.
After a while, the old man blinked his eyes a few times, and instantly said to everyone: "Sweet, such a sweet stone, this stone is sweet, my old man has never eaten such a sweet thing, even if it is a fruit in the mountains, it is not so sweet." ”
After speaking, the old man took away a piece of hard candy and handed it to the old woman, saying, "Old woman, you can taste it too, this stone is so sweet." ”
The old woman took the candy cube handed by the old man, and put it in her mouth with that exaggerated expression, and in an instant, all kinds of happiness overflowed on the old woman's face, which only surprised everyone.
"Sir, what is your stone called sugar?"
"It's called hard candy, also called candy cubes, and there are many flavors, and what you eat is sweet, and there is a sour one, which is a hundred times sour than plums."
"Did you bring it? Can you let the old man taste it? ”
"Not really, because I don't like to eat sour, so I carry sweet candy with me."
"That's a pity, my wife likes to eat sour food very much, and she always argues that the plums in the mountains are not sour enough."
After the old man finished speaking, he showed a pity on his face, and at this time, he only heard the old woman say: "What I love to eat sour, from now on my wife will love to eat sweet, this sugar stone is really sweet, it is sweet to my wife's heart." ”
After speaking, the old woman snatched the remaining pieces of hard candy from the old man's hand, and said again and again: "I will keep such a precious thing, you are so careless, what a pity to lose it." ”
Xiantu smiled and opened the second elder in front of him, regretting that he didn't put a few more pieces of hard candy in the box before crossing, so that he took out so many pieces of hard candy to embarrass people, if he wanted to taste it, then wouldn't he offend everyone.
Afraid of something, the greedy Qingxian stepped forward, looked at the two old people in happiness, and pleaded to Xiantu and said, "Second brother, is there any sweet stone?" Brother, I want to taste what it tastes like. ”
"Don't taste it, second brother tells you, this sweet stone is naturally sweet, or that kind of super sweetness, even a hundred times sweeter than sugar cane." Xiantu said to Qingxian with a smile.
Qingxian couldn't give up, and asked: "Sugar cane?" What is sugarcane? ”
Even, think about it first, isn't sugarcane still in the Tang Dynasty? It seems that he has talked a lot, and this Qingxian will definitely ask for a taste of sugarcane without reluctance, this is really a wave that has not subsided, and a wave is about to rise again.
The samurai stepped forward, looked at Qingxian with a questioning face, and bragged to everyone and said: "I have eaten this sugarcane, I want to pass through Fujian, Taiwan and other coastal areas in business, where people take bananas as the staple food and sugarcane as the non-staple food, which is really delicious, and it is very sweet, and now I drool when I think about it." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the corners of Wu Shiyue's mouth flowed a little ha, this guy is usually polite, but he didn't expect to mention food to become this bear, shame, it's really embarrassing, think about it first.
Qingxian's expression changed very quickly, at first he showed surprise when he heard that the sugar stone was sweet, and then he heard the samurai Yue say anything about bananas and sugar cane, so he came to the samurai Yue again, and shouted sweetly one brother after another, for fear that one day the samurai would forget him when the more he ate bananas and sugar cane.
"Brother? When will you go to Fujian again, but remember to bring back some special products for your brother, the banana you said sounds delicious, and I don't know what it tastes like? The Qingxian looked at Samurai Yue, and his saliva inadvertently flowed down, this thing is really a foodie, and as soon as he heard that he was eating, he immediately became an animal.
