225 Lotus root
"What kind of tea is this?" Xu Enling looked at the black and red tea in the tea cup, and there was a wolfberry floating on it, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it.
"This is sour plum soup, the best drink in summer!" Shen Tuantuan also poured himself a glass, took a dry mouthful, and then began to pour a second cup.
As soon as I looked up, I saw Xu Enling still on the tip of her nose and smelled, "Why don't you drink it?" ”
Xu Enling took a small sip, this sour plum soup was sweet and sour, very delicious, better than the sour plum soup she had drunk. "This is also matched by Brother Nanxing?"
"With such a little thing, how can I use Ning Nanxing to help me match it, but the things here are brought by the Ning family. I asked Grandpa Ning for it. In return, I brewed herbal tea and brought one to Grandpa Ning. "Shen Tuantuan and Xu Enling have known each other for a shallow time, although Xu Enling is innocent, but Shen Tuantuan always feels that those little ladies from big families should not be fuel-efficient lamps one by one.
Therefore, after pouring the sour plum soup for Xu Enling, Shen Tuantuan also poured it for himself, and drank it in a big gulp while Xu Enling was still smelling.
"I thought that Brother Nanxing was so powerful, and I thought that he was a doctor, and the sour plum soup he prepared was much better than other people's. I almost changed your opinion of the doctor because of a cup of sour plum soup. ”
Shen Tuantuan smiled, "My family doesn't like to drink sour plum soup, I just think that the sweet and sour is not enough, hehe, in fact, I know that they don't like to drink, every time I drink sour plum soup, it's like drinking medicine, but I can't see it, I have to watch them drink it." ”
When Shen Tuantuan said these things, he squinted his eyes happily and evilly, like a little mouse enjoying himself.
Xu Enling knew that this innocent appearance outside was just pretending, but looking at Shen Tuantuan's defenseless appearance, it looked like he was pampered by the family, otherwise he would not have developed such a temperament.
Xu Enling deliberately mobilized the atmosphere, and the atmosphere was really eager.
Shen Changzhi had to come out of the room, glanced at the two people sitting under the porch, and left silently.
"Your brother, do you not like me? Didn't I mean that your brother didn't like me to come to your house? Xu Enling's feelings were clearer this time. It's disgusting, that's right.
"No, my brother is such a person, he doesn't like to be too noisy. I guess the two of us were talking too loudly and arguing with him. Shen Tuantuan was afraid that Xu Enling would mind, so he deliberately pulled Ning Nanxing into the water, "Have you seen it, my brother doesn't have any good eyes on Ning Nanxing." But Ning Nanxing still eats when he should eat and drink when he should drink. In short, don't take it to heart. ”
Xu Enling listened to Shen Tuantuan's explanation, although she was a little relieved, but she was still a little unpleasant.
I think she Xu Xiaoniang has been in the academy since she was a child, even the mountain chief is smiling when she sees her, how can she be deflated here by Shen Changzhi!
Xu Enling also knew that the Shen family had a lot of affairs, so she sat down for a while and then left. When Xu Enling left, when he passed by the pond, he deliberately glanced at Shen Changzhi, and saw Shen Changzhi standing by the pond, not knowing what he was talking about......
Because the lotus root in the pond is unattended, and it has been abandoned for so many years, it is already good to be able to dig out five or six baskets of lotus roots.
When they climbed up from the pond, these people had already become mud figures, and Jiang Xiaohai was so careful that he had already asked these people to prepare a set of clothes, so after the people came up, Ning Nanxing beckoned people to go to his yard to wash themselves, and then put on clean clothes.
Because it is not a meal, Shen Tuantuan also made the simplest noodles, but the ingredients are sufficient, and even the newly dug lotus root has also been cut a lot.
Miao Li had eaten noodles at Shen's house, so looking at the bowl full of noodles, almost half of which was meat, Miao Li couldn't help but swallow his saliva, "Every time I think about coming to help, I don't expect to ask for a bowl of food." ”
The few people who came with Miao Li had never eaten such good noodles, and they were hesitating whether to eat the meat or the poached eggs on it first.
Jiang Xiaohai had been running for a long time, and he was already hungry, so he said at this time, "I'm welcome." Then he took a big sip of soup and took another bite of the lotus root, "This sweet and crunchy lotus root is really fresh." ”
Miao Lizheng also saw the lotus roots laid out on it, and was grateful to the Shen family for their attention, but he couldn't help it in his heart, "What a pity we have eaten so many lotus roots." ”
Shen Tuantuan happened to come out, and when he heard Miao Lizheng's words, he said with a smile: "It's not a pity at all, Uncle Miao, you guys dug it up, and you have to try it first." The slender tube is full, and I still have a big pot boiling in the pot. ”
Shen Tuantuan knew that those who were used to doing farm work had a large amount of food, so he deliberately made a lot of noodles.
Miao Lizheng's son had eaten such delicious noodles for the first time, and he couldn't spare his mouth to praise Shen Tuantuan's cooking skills, so he could only give a thumbs up and praise. Shen Tuantuan smiled and took it.
Miao Jiazhai was full of food, and was sent out of the gate of the academy by Shen Changzhi. Jiang Xiaohai didn't pick it this time, he drove the carriage over, and without waiting for the refusal of Miao Lizheng and a few people, he sent the person back to Miaojiazhai.
"Brother Nanxing, you can get me a little more water."
Shen Tuantuan wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, the lotus root dug up was full of mud, and several people in the seedling were men, even if they washed the mud indiscriminately with water, they didn't wash the lotus root clean, and there was a lot of mud on it.
Ning Nanxing unhappily fetched another bucket of water, "Don't wash it." Didn't Miao Li say it? This lotus root is still fresh with a little silt. ”
Of course, Shen Tuantuan remembered what Miao Lizheng said, "These are for other people in the academy, after all, the lotus root in this pond is not ours, and we always have to give it to others to taste when we dig it at this time, so as not to be talked about behind our backs." ”
Ning Nanxing thought that Shen Tuantuan had washed it for his own family to eat, and he thought it was going to be given to others. At that moment, he snatched the lotus root in Shen Tuantuan's hand, poured all the lotus root into the bucket, stirred it with his hands, and scooped it up.
"You can't wash it like this, this sludge hasn't been cleaned." Shen Tuantuan stretched out his hand to recapture the bucket, but was blocked by Ning Nanxing's outstretched hand.
"Let's dig up the lotus root and send it to others ready-made, can't we even wash it? What a big face! Ning Nanxing's face was gloomy.
When Shen Changzhi came in, he saw Ning Nanxing with a bad face and put the lotus root with silt into the wooden basin, and Shen Tuantuan grabbed it on the side. "What are you doing here?"
"Ask Tuan Tuan to go, I'll give these lotus roots to other people's families, the things that our family has worked so hard to dig up, if you want me to see, it's almost enough for one person to divide six lotus roots." Ning Nanxing said, and walked out without waiting for Shen Tuantuan to speak.
Shen Tuantuan couldn't help but stomp his feet, Ning Nanxing, who was stubborn, Shen Tuantuan had nothing to do. "Brother, stop Ning Nanxing, this lotus root hasn't even been washed with mud."
"Is it necessary to wash it and send it to someone? We don't know the gentleman in the academy well! "If it weren't for the abundance of books in the academy, if Old Man Xiao wanted to live in the academy, Shen Changzhi would have been unhappy to stay a long time ago.
Now Shen Changzhi has come into contact with several families, none of which he likes him.
Don't talk about the Lin family, they just came and set up a beam. Although Shen Changzhi doesn't like Ning Nanxing very much, but if he likes it himself, the little lady of the Lin family is like a madman, so she has to pester Ning Nanxing.
As for the Meng family, although Shen Changzhi has not been in contact with it, because of the Yang family's style, Mr. Meng's family is also disgusted by the way.
As for the Xu family, Shen Changzhi has nothing particularly to be picky about, but he really doesn't like the little lady who talks babbling, and he doesn't even have a good impression of the Xu family.
In the end, it was the mountain chief's family, for the mountain chief who rubbed his own two meals, he asked himself, how can Shen Changzhi be happy?
"Except for the mountain chief's family that you promised to come down at the beginning, I don't think I need to send other people." Shen Changzhi still thinks that Ning Nanxing has a good temperament, and if she wants her to say, she doesn't have to listen to Shen Tuantuan at all, and she still thinks about washing it clean, what to wash it clean!
Shen Tuantuan looked at Ning Nanxing's back as he disappeared at the gate of the courtyard, and could only sigh.
"I just don't think it's uncomfortable to look at if I don't wash the mud off it, but I don't think I'm trying to please anyone. Left and right, our family is also living our own days behind closed doors, and we will go home if it's a big deal, I really don't want to please anyone. "It's probably obsessive-compulsive disorder, but Shen Tuantuan has no way to explain it.
"Also, Ning Nanxing directly took a wooden basin and sent it door to door, isn't it inappropriate? This delivery is all particular, and it has to be delivered from house to house. If someone else's family saw so many lotus roots, but only gave them so little, maybe they should be unhappy. It is possible that all good things have turned into bad things. ”
Shen Tuantuan didn't stop Ning Nanxing, and could only babble in the courtyard.
"The left and right were sent by Ning Nanxing, don't worry, it won't be your head." Shen Changzhi was not worried at all, Ning Nanxing could feel sorry for his family, and Shen Changzhi was satisfied with this.
The work of sending lotus root is obviously a hot potato, and if Shen Tuantuan sends it, it will definitely cause trouble. But Ning Nanxing's words, whether they are good or bad, Shen Changzhi doesn't care at all.
Ning Nanxing didn't think about avoiding suspicion, the principle of proximity, the first one was the Lin family.
Lin Miaoyu had already heard that the Shen family had dug up the lotus root, so she waited for Shen Tuantuan to come and deliver the lotus root, so that she could stab Shen Tuantuan.
Waiting left and right, I didn't expect that the person who was waiting for me was Ning Nanxing.
Although he couldn't express his grievances because he couldn't see Shen Tuantuan, Lin Miaoyu felt a little pity. But being able to see Ning Nanxing, that's the best thing.
