247 peanuts
(Cat flutter Chinese) Xiaolong jumped from her hand and jumped onto the table.
Qiuqiu's house is not big, but there are a lot of things, and a hut is stuffed to the brim.
I didn't think there was anything, anyway, no one else came to this house except herself, and even her master didn't come over. Tables, cabinets, windowsills, bedheads, as long as you can stuff things are all stuffed. Boxes and pockets of all sizes, books, miscellaneous items......
Although Xiaolong is not a serious guest, Qiuqiu still feels a little embarrassed.
Qiuqiu pushed aside the stuff on the full table, and finally freed up a small area for Xiaolong to move.
"What do you eat?" Qiuqiu thought about it, rummaged through the cabinet, and pulled out a pocket: "Do you want to eat peanuts?" β
Xiaolong's eyes lit up.
Well, although I don't know if there is any harm in dragons eating peanuts, but the legend doesn't say that dragons can't eat peanuts, right?
In autumn and autumn, peel off the shells of the flowers, hold the peanut kernels in the palm of your hand and send them to Xiaolong.
Xiaolong happily ate the two peanuts.
Not as Qiuqiu was worried, Xiaolong didn't bite her hand anymore. If Qiuqiu's feeling is right, it should be using the dragon's lips to "puff" the peanuts.
It's so cute.
Qiuqiu peeled it while Xiaolong ate it, and it didn't take long to eat the small half bag of peanuts.
This peanut was planted by Qiuqiu himself at the edge of the flower garden, not much, and it took a lot of effort to harvest it, a total of one bag was collected, and half of it was given away, and there was only so much left.
Aunt Yan's voice asked outside, "Qiu'er, where are you in the house?" β
Qiuqiu hurriedly responded: "Yes." β
But she's not alone! If Master comes in and sees this little dragon......
Qiuqiu bowed his head. Hey, where's the little dragon?
Aunt Yan had already walked into the house, she heard a creaking sound in the house just now, and she didn't see anything else when she entered the house, but first saw a large pile of peanut shells on the table.
Aunt Yan smiled.
It turned out that the apprentice was hiding and eating.
It's nothing, the little girl's family loves to eat a snack.
This peanut was still grown by the apprentice herselfβAunt Yan was even wondering, should she let people go out to buy something newer and more delicious for the apprentice to eat?
Qiuqiu had already stood up: "Master." β
"It's nothing, sit down." Aunt Yan took out another medicine bottle. The medicine bottle is very thin, delicate and moist, and looks a little jade-like. But if you want to describe it in autumn, it's more like that old-fashioned alabaster bottle, and everyone who has used it knows it.
"Just delivered, here you go. Wake up early and take one pill every day, and remember to use the power to prescribe the medicine. β
There is no doubt who sent this medicine.
The only person in the entire Purple Jade Pavilion who cared about her was Master, and these medicines must have been brought by Jin Zhenren again. When he came last time, he said that after he went back, he would give Qiuqiu some recuperation pills, and he really didn't break his promise.
"Thank you, Master." β
"I didn't prepare the medicine, what do you thank me for?"
But if Jin Zhenren hadn't looked at Aunt Yan's face. How can you dispense medicine for Qiuqiu? The primary and secondary relationship between Qiu Qiu and Qiu will never be mistaken.
Aunt Yan came to deliver medicine to Qiuqiu and put down the medicine. also took a small money bag to Qiuqiu: "Buy whatever snacks you want, Master is not short of these money." β
Aunt Yan gave her medicine, and Qiuqiu could understand it. But give her the money bag, Qiuqiu doesn't quite understand.
After sending Aunt Yan away, Qiuqiu stood at the door and turned around, this time what she saw at a glance was a large pile of peanut shells on the table.
Belch......
Master didn't think she ate all of this, right?
Qiuqiu silently made up for it, Aunt Yan must have thought that before she entered the house. The little apprentice sat alone at the table, squeaking and chewing peanuts like a big mouse......
Qiuqiu had an urge to hide her face and moan.
What a misunderstanding.
But. Even if the master asked her just now if she ate these peanuts, Qiuqiu would probably have to carry the black pot by herself.
I don't know why, she always felt that the person she met just now, as well as this little dragon, were too unusual.
Qiuqiu didn't know if they would be in danger, and she didn't know how to tell her master......
The little dragon who disappeared just now came out from behind the peanut bag again, looking at Qiuqiu with watery eyes, looking like a cute person waiting to be fed.
"Still want to eat?" Qiuqiu looked at the pocket that had already eaten a small half of it, and then looked at the belly of the little dragon who had eaten so many peanuts and couldn't see the bulging belly, and felt that something was really unscientific.
Where did all the food go? Isn't it in the stomach?
Also, how can a dragon love peanuts? Such an ordinary thing...... I always feel that this legendary and powerful creature should also have high-end and high-grade recipes, and eat some rare and exotic treasures...... Anyway, it shouldn't be a peanut eater.
But being stared at by the big eyes of the cute, Qiuqiu really couldn't hold it: "Okay, okay, just eat it, but I can't eat it all for you, I still have to keep some seeds......"
It's all gone, and if you want to plant it next year, you'll have to look elsewhere for another seed.
Looking at the little dragon chewing peanuts vigorously, Qiuqiu's heart was full of questions.
"Where did you come from? Who is your master?
Why did they suddenly appear in front of her?
Xiaolong won't answer her question. Qiuqiu didn't expect it to answer, she just talked to herself.
Qiuqiu felt that the person did not seem to pass by by accident, but rather to ...... I made a special trip to look for her.
Qiuqiu's fingers dotted at the dragon's horns, and Xiaolong's head was shaken.
Not only is it not annoyed, but it seems to be enjoying it, and continues to sell cute peanuts.
"I can't eat it anymore, I'm really going to eat it all again."
Peel off the last peanut, there are two peanut kernels inside, Qiuqiu fed one to Xiaolong, and the other she put into her mouth.
Raw peanut kernels have a natural sweetness and sweetness.
Qiuqiu chewed peanuts and looked at the little dragon on the table.
What a strange experience it was this afternoon.
Purple Jade Pavilion in order to welcome distinguished guests. Everywhere was sprinkled and tidyed, flowers were blooming, and the girls found bright and beautiful clothes and dressed themselves up in a showy way.
It's like the New Year.
No, it's more lively than the New Year.
I heard that the Purple Jade Pavilion has not been so lively for a long time. It seems that more than 100 years ago, the Purple Jade Pavilion would have such a festival-like day every few years, and the people of this gate called it the Flower Festival. On this day, there will be many guests in the city, and the disciples of the Purple Jade Pavilion are unrestrained during the day of the Flower Festival.
There are many people who will find a love match during this time. Just behind the rocks, by the stream, under the shadow of the flowers, there are many pairs of figures.
But then the flower festival stopped for some reason, and it hasn't been held again for so many years.
At first, there were only people whispering, and then more and more people were talking about it.
Could it be that the Purple Jade Pavilion is going to start again and continue the tradition of the Flower Festival?
This news is really not true, Qiuqiu does not know. Anyway, Master didn't tell her about it.
However, it is true that a lot of outsiders have come to the city.
The air is filled with the scent of some sweet flowers.
It's intense, but it's not annoying.
Qiuqiu secretly feeds Xiaolong - this little guy is very easy to feed, he eats what he wants, and he doesn't mess around if he doesn't eat.
In the evening of the next day, Qiuqiu met Xiaolong's owner again.
At this moment, the man appeared directly in her house.
Qiuqiu came in from outside with a large roll of paper. At a glance, I saw a person standing in front of the bookshelf, quietly concentrating on the messy bookshelves.
"Ah......" Qiuqiu didn't feel surprised. She put the paper in her hand on the box first: "When did you come?" β
"Just here."
Xiaolong poked his head out of Qiuqiu's sleeve, nodded at him, and looked like a very casual greeting, then retracted his head again.
It's so heartless. Seeing the owner on this, the typical likes the new and hates the old.
But as a newcomer who is loved now, Qiuqiu has no position to accuse it, and even thinks that Xiaolong's behavior is quite heartwarming. For the old man in front of him who was neglected and disliked. Qiuqiu was not very sincere and silently gave him some wax to show sympathy.
"Is Huo'er still obedient?"
"Very obedient." Except for almost eating her peanuts, she didn't do anything too out of the ordinary.
The man's gaze was tender.
Qiuqiu turned her face away a little uncomfortably. Cough gently.
Fortunately, the man also diverted from the topic, and the strange silence just now was broken and diluted.
"What are these papers for?"
"It's used to cover flowers."
"Cover flowers?"
Qiuqiu nodded.
Controlling the timing of flowers by controlling the light is the secret recipe for raising flowers in the Purple Jade Pavilion. These papers are used to make cover paper. However, Qiuqiu picked up some bits and pieces and brought them back for waste utilization.
Paste the windows, pad the cabinet, cut it and make it into a letterhead. Qiuqiu is used to saving, before he came to Ziyu Pavilion, he did this at home, Xiucai's family is not a rich family, and the needle, thread, brain, paper, and ink blocks can be fully used again when they are collected.
The man helped Qiuqiu unfold the paper rolls and flatten them one by one. The wrinkled ones are picked out and put aside, and the more intact ones are placed on the other side. None of them made a sound, except for the slight rustle of paper scraping against each other.
It's really strange, obviously this person is a stranger, but staying alone in the room with him, Qiuqiu didn't feel the slightest unease.
She is very down-to-earth.
Even...... More down-to-earth and calm than ever.
The little dragon lay quietly on the paper that had been arranged, and his slender body cast a ribbon shadow on the paper.
Its golden eyes looked at Qiuqiu, then at another person, and let out a low whining sound from the depths of its throat in satisfaction.
It should be a pleasure to look at, but the sound it makes people feel a little sad.
Qiuqiu looked up at it.
She felt that this situation was familiar, as if it had been a long time ago, in a far away place...... It happened the same. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
