Chapter 160: Seeing Through the Heart
Bai Yingying explained with a smile: "My mother is still at your house, I came with her, she originally planned to leave, but she suddenly remembered something and went to find Cousin Heming again." ”
Xu Baoqing stood in the distance with interest, not disturbing the conversation between the two.
Xu Hening nodded clearly, it turned out that Mrs. Bai hadn't left yet, so she must have persuaded Heming.
"Cousin, where are you going? Can I go with you? Bai Yingying said with a smile.
"I'll go to the winery, you have a girl's family with you, it's inconvenient, you better stay and wait for Mrs. Bai." Xu Hening politely refused.
"Cousin, it's not like I haven't been to the winery, why can't I go with you? Don't you hate me, do you? Bai Yingying looked at him suspiciously.
"My cousin misunderstood, going to the winery really has business to do." Xu Hening is serious.
"Another excuse to get rid of me." Bai Yingying pouted unhappily.
"It's my father who wants the winery's account book and teaches Heming to take care of business, so I really didn't mean to leave you." Xu Hening explained again and again.
"Huh?" Bai Yingying frowned incomprehensibly, "Cousin Heming, he doesn't know how to learn, and his uncle taught him to take care of the winery, how can this work?" ”
"You can learn everything you don't know, I believe that with Heming's cleverness, I should be able to get started soon, and I will be able to relax when the time comes. Besides, Heming is the second son of the Xu family, and sooner or later he will have to take over part of the family business. Xu Hening said sincerely, if the winery doesn't need him to take care of it, he can have more time to take care of his own restaurant.
Hearing him say that he was more relaxed, Bai Yingying frowned lightly, and looked at him deeply with her eyes: "Does my cousin have any plans when he is relaxed?" ”
Xu Hening's eyes dodged, not wanting to talk about his private affairs with Bai Yingying.
"If you don't say it, I know that you just want to get close to Duran." Bai Yingying coldly exposed him.
"What did you mention her for?" Xu Hening retorted in annoyance.
"Hmph, I guessed it right." Bai Yingying stared at him tightly, not letting go of a trace of the expression on his face. "I'll tell you the truth, I've already looked for her."
"What? Are you looking for her? Xu Hening looked at Bai Yingying in shock.
"Look at your nervous appearance, I didn't do anything to look for her, but you care about her so much, but it further allows me to see through your mind." Bai Yingying smiled bitterly.
"What nonsense are you talking about, what do I have in mind for you to see through, you must not talk nonsense in front of her." Xu Hening's brows furrowed.
Bai Yingying looked at his frightened expression, and couldn't help but feel a burst of bitterness in her heart, and a trace of mist appeared in her inexplicable eyes, but she endured it, "You don't dare to say it in your heart, I'll say it for you, cousin, you never dodge and retreat on weekdays, this is not like what you do at all." You've changed, you've become hesitant, dodging and dodging. What exactly are you running away from? I know it's impossible, but I love her behind my back, why are you suffering? And in my opinion, she is not worthy of you at all. With a woman's face and behaving like a wild boy, what is there about her to like? ”
"Who says I like her? I just appreciate her ingenuity. Xu Hening didn't want to admit that he was already attracted to Duran.
"You are making a fool of yourself." Bai Yingying looked at him firmly.
"Cousin ......" was told the central matter, and Xu Hening looked painful.
"Cousin, you would rather like a woman who will never be possible and make yourself so miserable than accept the woman in front of you who is wholeheartedly devoted to you, you disappoint me so much. I won't be hard and persistent anymore, I won't let myself be wronged anymore, and I won't let myself be miserable anymore, goodbye! ”
Bai Yingying turned around angrily, instead of being in pain and obsession, it was better to get rid of it, at least she could retain the last trace of dignity.
"......" Xu Hening squirmed a few times, and never shouted at her back, so good.
Suddenly, he felt a lot more relaxed, and silently turned around and jumped into the carriage.
Seeing this, Xu Baoqing hurriedly jumped into the carriage.
Bai Yingying walked quickly to the door of the Xu Mansion, and the maid followed closely behind, with a concerned expression: "Miss, are you okay?" ”
Bai Yingying couldn't help crying after all, she was very sad, even if she was sad and sad, Xu Hening still didn't catch up and comfort him, he didn't have a place for himself in his heart.
"Miss......" The maid didn't dare to say much, so she could only follow Miss silently.
Bai Yingying wiped a handful of tears, turned around and looked at the back of the carriage that had left, as if something was pressing on her heart, and she couldn't breathe.
In Shanwa Village, Du Lan took the big guy to work at home, Du Mi came early in the morning to learn from Du Lan to boil tomato sauce, Du Lan used to make it, she watched. Today, let Du Mi personally boil it, and she will guide her.
"Duran, do you think that's right?" Du Mi asked while observing the viscosity of the slurry in the pot. She is very diligent, learns and cares, and can teach as soon as she teaches.
Duran stood aside, watched the juice become sticky and thick, scooped up a small spoonful and drank it, and slurped, "Yes, that's the taste, my honey is so smart, I can learn it as soon as I learn it." ”
"Great, I finally made it." Du Mi cheered happily.
"Of course, if you produce in large quantities in the future, you can also supply it to my Shilixiang Restaurant."
"Haha, great, thank you, Sister Duran." Du Mi's eyes lit up, she was not much younger than Du Lan, she was usually called by her name, this time she was so excited, it was rare to call Du Lan a sister.
Du Lan nodded happily, but the ancient antiseptic technology was limited, she had considered the shelf life of various sauces before, and now since she helped Du Mi to do the ketchup business, she still had to solve the problem of preservative.
"Mimi, do we have a fragrant fruit tree on this mountain?" Duran turned his head to look at Du Mi, fragrant fruit has the effect of increasing fragrance, antioxidant and antiseptic.
Du Mi grew up in this generation since she was a child, and she has followed her parents to the mountains to collect firewood since she was a child, and she is familiar with what is on the mountain.
Du Mi looked at Du Lan in confusion: "What is the fragrant fruit tree?" ”
Duran suddenly remembered that the plants here might be different from her own name, and she remembered that it was recorded in the book Shiweiji, that there were fragrant fruit trees on the mountains of this generation.
Soon, Du Lan squatted on the ground, picked up the blackened firewood stick and drew the general shape of the fragrant fruit tree on the ground.
"We have this kind of tree on this mountain, and there are a lot of them, but what are you looking for these fruits for?" Few people pick that thing, only the medicine pickers pick some and sell them in the medicine hall for money.
When Duran heard that there were many fragrant fruit trees on the mountain, his eyes immediately lit up.
"Great, I'll find some villagers to go up the mountain to pick fragrant fruits, and come back to buy them, I believe I can harvest a lot of fragrant fruits."
"Huh?" Du Mi was a little confused, but soon understood that Du Lan must be useful for making spices, but she was still not very sure, "Du Lan, I'm not sure if those fruits are the fragrant fruits you said in your mouth, maybe they just look alike, in case they are just similar in shape but have different effects, in case they ......."
Knowing what Du Mi was worried about, in case someone was poisoned and lost his life, in order to make sure that it was just in case, Du Lan smiled: "In this way, I will take everyone to go there personally, if everyone picks it after it is confirmed, I will not need to go in the future." ”
Du Mi looked excited, "Okay, okay, take me with you when the time comes, and I'll give you all the picks." ”
"Then I have to give you money, I can't let you work for a day in vain, besides, you are in the entrepreneurial period, and you also need money to buy tomatoes, you save it yourself, how easy it is to do things."
As he spoke, the ketchup in the pot had been boiled, and Du Mi took the pot down with a cotton cloth, extinguished the fire in the stove, and waited for it to cool down before loading the jar.
"I'll go out and take a look, you'll be busy yourself." After speaking, Duran walked towards the courtyard.
Aunt Zhang was busy in the yard, constantly picking pepper seeds from the branches in her hands, and then looking at Aunt Lao Gen for a while, she fanned a few times slowly with her free hands, and turned her head to look around from time to time, but she didn't concentrate on her work.
Seeing Duran coming out, she hurriedly greeted with a smile: "Yo, Duran, is the house busy?" ”
Duran nodded with a light smile, and turned his head to look at the two sons of Aunt Lao Gen who were grinding, one was sitting on the bench resting with a snort, and the other was pulling the grinding disc bitterly.
Duran quickly made a judgment in his heart, the two sons of Aunt Lao Gen are down-to-earth and willing to work, and Aunt Lao Gen is a bit cheating and slippery.
Probably the two children knew that work was not easy to come by, so they took it seriously.
Aunt Zhang's head was boring and dry, and Du Lan said with a smile: "Aunt Zhang, you stop and rest, and go into the house to drink saliva." ”
Aunt Zhang said with a smile: "No, I'll do more, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, finish it early and free up your hands to prepare for the festival early." By the way, is your mother ready? ”
Mid-autumn festival? There's also the Mid-Autumn Festival here?
Duran pondered for a moment, came back to his senses and hurriedly responded: "My mother should be prepared." ”
She wondered in her heart, why didn't she come to the house to help today?
