Chapter Seventy-Eight: Surprised
"Your mother can still lose it, ask every day, you don't feel tired." Mrs. Lin is a little savvy now, her eldest grandson didn't like Linglong before, she was worried, but now she likes her tightly, and she feels a little savvy in her heart.
"Not tired." He likes his mother now, and his master praises him for his good learning.
Even the master was very surprised by some of the things he said, and learned that his mother had taught him, and that his mother was a wonderful woman!
"Big brother, my mother is cooking, and my mother said that we haven't eaten anything today." Erbao foodies can't wait to share it with their brother.
"Oh, is it? What's delicious? Dabao couldn't help asking.
"I don't know this very well, anyway, my mother said it was delicious." , in Erbao's heart, what the mother said must be right.
"But today we ate pineapple, my mother said that it came from a foreign land, we have all eaten it, it is delicious, I have left it for you. I'll get it for you. After saying that, Erbao stepped on his little short legs, kicked into the kitchen, and when he came out again, he came out with a pot of yellow things in his hand.
"Big brother, you see this is a pineapple, you can taste it." Erbao handed the plate to Dabao expectantly, urging him.
"Dabao, don't eat it yet, I'll start eating right away. After eating slowly, you eat pineapple. Bu Linglong came out with the dishes to stop Dabao from eating pineapple, she had made dinner this night, where could she still eat pineapple.
"Okay." Dabao agreed without refuting it, and followed him into the hall with a pineapple.
"Don't look at it, don't keep up yet." Old Lady Lin gently pushed Erbao and signaled that he could go.
Bu Linglong did not forget the scholar and mother-in-law at home, and divided their dishes separately and let them eat them on the kitchen table.
The children smelled the smell of the food, and their saliva was about to flow, and the mother had not cooked for several days.
Bu Linglong came in with the last dish, and when she heard the sound of the children swallowing saliva, she couldn't help laughing, "Don't look at it, eat it quickly, otherwise it won't taste good if it's cold." ”
Bu Linglong served vegetables to the child while eating.
"Linglong, you don't have a cooperative business with Yuelai Building, do you want to send them some round melons."
Yuelailou, Bu Linglong patted her head hard, there have been too many things recently, she has forgotten Bai Ziqing and the county lord of Chaoyang.
In the past few days, she always feels that she has neglected something, if it weren't for her mother to mention it, she really forgot everything, it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be.
"Look at me, I've been so busy lately, I've forgotten about him, Brother Ming, I'll go to town again and bring some of them over." Tomorrow's day is not expected to be easy, someone will definitely be yin and yang, but that's what she deserves, who let herself forget him.
"Do you want to prepare something else?"
"That's not necessary, just send some round melons." Bai Ziqing's identity is estimated to be not simple, the round melon must have been eaten, and maybe the people under her hands have planted it, whether it is successful or not, then she will not know, and when she sees Bai Ziqing tomorrow, she will see it at a glance.
"You just need to know." Cooperation is all about Linglong, and she must understand the needs of the other party.
The next day, Bu Linglong pretended to take the bamboo basket to the backyard, and when there was no one, he smuggled ten melons directly from the space, and the two people happened to be five per person.
When Bu Linglong arrived in the town, it was already past the meal, there were not many people in Yuelai Building, Xiao Er was a little sleepy lying on the table in the lobby and napping, and the shopkeeper was crackling in the counter to calculate the profit of the morning.
Bu Linglong walked to the counter and knocked lightly twice: "Shopkeeper." ”
Hearing the sound, the shopkeeper raised his head and saw that it was Bu Linglong, and hurriedly stopped what he was doing, "Mrs. Su, why did you come here at this time." ”
"Send something to your master, is he still here?"
"Mrs. Su is in a hurry, my young master is still here today, you wait a minute, I'll let Xiao Er run away." The shopkeeper knocked the table, waking Xiao Er, who was napping, from his sleep.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? ”
"What are you sleeping, hurry up and find the young master, just say that Mrs. Su is here."
Xiao Er woke up from the fog, "Yes, the little one will go." ”
"Hey, wait, wait." Before Xiao Er ran out, Bu Linglong stopped the person, "If you want to go to the gambling house again, just say that I will find their master to come to Yuelai Building." ”
"Okay."
"Shopkeeper, you can let this melon be cleaned, and then bring a clean knife out, and when your young master comes, you can cut it and eat it." Bu Linglong took a round melon from the bamboo basket and handed it to the shopkeeper, asking him to take it down and clean it and prepare the tools.
The shopkeeper was a little overwhelmed with a round melon holding the green skin, what is this, why does it look like this, it's so strange.
"Mrs. Su, what kind of melon is this?"
"It's from a foreign land, it's called a round melon over there, you quickly take it in and wash it first." Ask so much what to do, and you'll know after eating.
"Okay." The shopkeeper couldn't ask anything, so he simply didn't ask, and went to the back kitchen with the round melon.
When Bai Ziqing arrived, the shopkeeper just took out the round melon.
Bai Ziqing was stunned at the door when he saw the round melon in his hand, "Where, where did it come from?" ”
"Young master, Mrs. Su brought it." The shopkeeper was a little confused, why did the young master look very shocked, isn't it just a melon.
Bai Ziqing came to Bu Linglong and looked her up and down several times, "Mrs. Su, what a wonderful person." I kind of know where the round melons in the county come from. ”
"Mrs. Su, Mrs. Su, why don't you know that you have good things and think of me for the first time, and you secretly sold them." Su Ziqing's tone was full of resentment, shouldn't good things be shared with him.
"I was so busy that I didn't think about it for a while. You see, I came when I thought about it. Bu Linglong was stared at by Bai Ziqing and turned her head slightly, not looking at his depressed face.
"Okay, okay, this time I was wrong, hurry up and taste it." Bu Linglong took the knife from the shopkeeper's hand, clicked a few times on the round melon, and divided it very evenly, taking into account Bai Ziqing's usual eating habits, he went to get a clean plate again, and cut the round melon into pieces and put them into the plate.
"Here, taste." Push the dish in front of Bai Ziqing.
Bai Zi glanced at her lightly, picked up the skewer and was about to eat, when the voice of the little witch Chen Mingyue sounded at the gate!
"Okay, you're stingy, I haven't come yet, so you're ready to eat." Chen Mingyue saw the red flesh on his hand, and he could already smell the fragrance when he stood at the door.
Bai Zi cleaned up and ignored Chen Mingyue, "Mrs. Su still has any good business for Bai to get involved." ”
"Young Master Bai is a big business, I'm just a small business, it's not worth mentioning."
"What kind of small business is this, Mrs. Su should not be presumptuous."
"You guys don't play dumb riddles, it's boring, let's talk about what is delicious." Chen Mingyue couldn't see that these two people talked about business as soon as they came up, and they couldn't talk about anything else when they got together.
"You don't see that?" Bai Ziqing glanced at Chen Mingyue with a little surprise, she didn't eat less of this round melon, as soon as there were good things in the palace, they would be sent to the Qin Palace, and even the queen and the concubine couldn't get it.
"See what? Could it be that this is something I still know. Chen Mingyue looked stingy for some reason.
"You taste, taste and you'll know." Bai Ziqing remained mysterious and asked her to hurry up.
"Oh." Chen Mingyue didn't worry that he could eat it, picked up the skewer and forked a piece, and as soon as he ate it, his eyes widened, and he swallowed it quickly like a cow chewing a peony, "Where, where did it come from?" Where did it come from? ”
This is a round melon, an exotic tribute, how can it appear here? Who is so bold that they dare to rob even the tribute, and they are not afraid of being beheaded.
Chen Mingyue would not have written that it was planted by someone, because the first person to try to plant it was right in front of him, and he ended up failing, and this matter was once used as a joke and talking point by those people in the capital.
"Grown by your good sister." Bai Ziqing dropped a bomb lightly and heavily, blowing Chen Mingyue into pieces, and the whole person was dizzy.
"Sister Linglong, is this true? Did you really grow it? Chen Mingyue grabbed Bu Linglong's wrist and asked anxiously.
Before Bu Linglong could answer, Bai Ziqing's voice sounded again, "Don't you know that the county is crazy." I went to inquire before, but I didn't inquire about the person who sold the melon, and I didn't know for sure until Mrs. Su brought the melon today. ”
"The county is selling crazy? When was this? "She has been in the gambling house recently, in order to raise money for the person above, she has not heard anything outside the window for a long time, and if someone didn't come today and said that Sister Linglong saw herself, she wouldn't have been able to go out.
"You really don't know, and the people under you didn't say it." It's strange what this girl has been up to lately.
"I'm busy, I don't have time to care. I really don't know. Chen Mingyue's face was speechless.
From the grievances on Chen Mingyue's face, it can be seen that there is only one person who can stump her, and that is the one above, who is also a difficult little girl.
"You make trouble for me, go aside." Chen Mingyue pushed Bai Ziqing, moved to Bu Linglong and sat down, looked at Bu Linglong aggrievedly and said, "Sister, when did you plant it, you didn't tell me, you don't treat me as a sister at all, I'm going to be angry." ”
Bu Linglong pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I really don't know about this, I thought that round melons in the capital were very common, because exotic merchants said that this is not easy to transport." ”
She had to pay for her forgetfulness, and in order not to be pestered and complained by Chen Mingyue, she had to find a reason to send it away.
"How could my sister be deceived when she is so smart, the exotic merchant is fooling you, and the round melon is a tribute, and there is not much left in the end when it is sent to Dayu every year." Chen Mingyue was furious, this is because my sister doesn't understand intentionally, "Oh, he, he was stingy and planted it at the beginning, so he also caused a joke, and he was talked about for a long time." ”
"Don't talk about the good and say the bad, you don't have anything else to say, right?" Bai Ziqing glared at Chen Mingyue, he didn't want an image, how could he expose his shortcomings in front of Mrs. Su.
"Why can't I tell the truth?" Chen Mingyue didn't care whether his face was stinky or not, and glared back.
"Sister, how many do you have? I'll buy it from you, I want to try it for my father and brother and my brother. "The main thing is to take it back and give it to the one to taste, so that he will be happy.
"There is still a stubble to harvest, probably more than a thousand catties." The backyard can't receive so much, but it's okay in the space, but she doesn't dare to report this amount, after all, what is the situation in her family, these two are very clear, and they can't show their faces.
"Then I'll do it." Chen Mingyue is arrogantly all-inclusive.
"Hey, hey, hey, why don't you leave some for me, don't go too far." Bai Ziqing jumped out immediately, why did he fall behind, he couldn't let her take it all.
