Chapter 125. Ginseng Fruit (1)
The provincial capital is built near the river, and the small Congjiang River rushes down from the mountains hundreds of kilometers away, crossing the entire urban area, and the surging river water provides the provincial capital with sufficient water sources, but also brings suffocating humidity and heat to the city in the middle of summer.

It is common for the temperature of the provincial capital to reach 40 degrees in midsummer, and the river water passing through the city brings a lot of hot and humid water vapor to the provincial capital.
Early in the morning, as we slowly walked out of the classroom, we seemed to have just come out of the bathhouse, our clothes were soaked with sweat, I took out a tissue and wiped my sweaty neck, and after I finished wiping it, I squeezed it hard, and a drop of sweat was squeezed out of the paper that had become a wet wipe.
"Oh my God, can I live this day!" I threw the tissue in the trash can and walked towards the school gate, not wanting to run into Millie and Wang Xue after walking two steps.
"Leyun, why don't you go to the cafeteria to eat today?"
Seeing me walking in the direction of the gate, the two asked me curiously.
These two girls usually seem to be very incompatible in front of me, but I can always see them together, is it true that they actually have a very good relationship?
"It's so hot, I don't have the appetite to eat, and I don't have any appetite at all when I think of the hot scene in the cafeteria!"
"And where are you going?"
"Of course, it's back to the tea house, Moon Dance is gone, I have to open a store, and drink some edelweiss tea to cool down by the way."
When I looked up, I saw a few thin clouds scattered in the clear blue sky, these clouds are really not powerful, but you have floated over to block me from this terrible sun!
As soon as they heard me say edelweiss tea, Millie and Wang Xue's eyes suddenly lit up, "Leyun, let's go drink some tea too, it's too hot this day!" ”
"Are you two hot? How do I see that you don't have a drop of sweat on you? ”
Hearing my words, Millie and Wang Xue puffed out their hands to me in dissatisfaction, only to see that their palms were already soaked.
"Oh, the sweat glands of cats and dogs are mainly concentrated in the limbs, I said why is there so little sweat on your foreheads in both of you!"
While making fun of the two of them, I led them to the tea house, but I didn't think that when we reached the door of the tea house, I saw an acquaintance standing outside the door waiting for me.
Seeing the visitor, Millie and Wang Xue's faces suddenly turned pale, because it was none other than their tacitly chosen number one rival, the post officer of Tianyin Painting Workshop, Luo Tianyin.
I saw Luo Tianyin, who was wearing a white dress, holding a delicate bamboo basket, standing in the shade outside the door of the tea house waiting for us.
"I thought you would have to wait a little longer before you come, this is the fresh fruit that my grandfather bought from Cheongju, and my grandfather specially asked me to bring some for you to eat" After speaking, Luo Tianyin handed me the bamboo basket in his hand.
"Oh, what kind of delicious, we just didn't have lunch, Leyun, open the door quickly, let's go in and eat fruit and drink tea!"
Millie deliberately ran up to interrupt my conversation with Luo Tianyin, and I shook my head helplessly and opened the roller shutter door of the tea house.
While I was opening the door, Wang Xue looked curiously into the bamboo basket, and saw child-like fruits lying in the bamboo basket, looking very cute.
"Wow, what kind of fruit is this, it looks so cute!" Wang Xue has never had any immunity to cute things, and when she saw that the fruit looked cute, she took out a fruit and held it in her arms and couldn't put it down.
"This is a child fruit, it is a fruit unique to Cheongju, and it is said that the probability of people who eat more of this fruit will get a big fat boy is not small!" Luo Tianyin replied.
"Oh......" Millie and Wang Xue listened, and began to unconsciously take out the fruit and eat it directly.
"Hey! Don't eat the fruit before you wash it, who knows if there are pesticides on it! Luo Tianyin hurriedly dissuaded.
Walking into the tea house, I made a pot of edelweiss tea for Millie, Wang Xue, and Luo Tianyin.
I washed the fruit from the bamboo basket and brought it to the tea table to share with everyone, and the four of us sat together, eating the fruit and drinking tea, the coolness of the room contrasted sharply with the scorching heat outside.
"Sister Moon Dance, why didn't you see her?" Luo Tianyin looked around and found that there was no one missing, so he asked me.
"Uh...... She's out of business and won't be back for a while," I replied, glancing my eyes at the Moon Dance Sword hanging on the wall.
"Sister Yue Wu is gone, won't your store be taken care of?"
"That's no way, you know that my store is very special, and I don't invite ordinary people to work, and they don't dare to come, so I can only open it during my break."
What I'm saying is also the truth, the Moon Dance mana was robbed of its ability to transform into a human form, which is equivalent to breaking one of my arms, and the old lady and Lily are tired of being together every day and are not far apart, so I haven't opened here for several days.
"I have Luo Li and Grandpa to take care of me, or I'll come to you to help!" Luo Tianyin took a sip of tea and said lightly.
There was a deathly silence in the tea house, and even the sound of mosquitoes flapping their wings as they flew through the air.
Millie and Wang Xue stared at Luo Tianyin blankly, their faces turning pale.
"Oh, little post officer, you finally opened the door, but the Sprinkle family has come to look for you several times!" A rough voice reached my ears, breaking the stalemate in the tea house.
The person who came was my old acquaintance, the great monk Zen Master Xuanming, to be honest, I was quietly relieved to see this guy walk in with a big grin, Luo Tianyin took the initiative to apply for help It was unbelievable for me, but for Millie and Wang Xue, it was to smash the field and grab the turf, I was really afraid that they would not agree and start to do it, I would be difficult.
Since the guests came to the door, I immediately put on my signature smile, rubbed my hands and led the Zen Master to sit down and said, "I'm really sorry, Sister Moon Dance has something to go out, and she can't be here for a while, because no one is looking at the store, so my tea house will only open when I have free time."
Zen Master Ming took out a handkerchief, wiped his big head full of beads of sweat and said, "I said, why did your tea house suddenly close down?"
"I wonder if the Zen master came to my shop today and wanted to buy something?" I asked with a wicked grin.
Instead of answering my question, Master Hui Ming looked at the child fruit we were eating, and his face was a little weird...... Where did you buy it from, it can't be locally made, right? ”
Hearing the words of Zen Master Huiming, we all laughed, "This is the child fruit brought by Luo Tianyin from Qingzhou, how can we sell it in Zhongzhou!" ”
The great monk Zen Master Xuanming breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, little post officer, you don't know, I didn't come to you today to buy tea, but to ask for advice."
"I don't know what advice Master Ming has?"
Zen Master Ming's face became serious: "Have you ever heard of ginseng fruit? ”
"Ginseng fruit? Is it Zhenyuan Daxian who ate the ginseng fruit that can live forever? Millie, who was nibbling on fruit, interjected.
Zen Master Ming shook his head and smiled, "That's fiction in the novel, I'm talking about the fruits that look like children sold in supermarkets now."
The ginseng fruit mentioned by the Zen master is actually a model for some artificially processed fruits, people will prepare a child-like mold in advance to put on the growing fruit, and when the fruit is ripe, remove the mold, and the fruit inside will look like a child, because the fruit is similar to the description of ginseng fruit in "Journey to the West", so this kind of fruit is called ginseng fruit, and the price is not cheap.
I smiled and asked, "I wonder why Zen Master Ming came to ask me about ginseng fruit?" ”
Zen Master Hui Ming took out a small fruit that looked like a child from his coat pocket and said to me, "This looks like a very ordinary fruit, but it ......."
The Zen Master opened his hand, took out a white object from the crushed flesh and handed it to me.
"This is the core of this ginseng fruit, Xiao Yiguan, look at it, what is this?"
I looked at the white object in my hand, and my brows curled up sharply, the white object was none other than a human tooth!
