Chapter 267: Eating Watermelon
A feast, the guests and the host are happy.
Jia Mu and the others played in Ningguo Mansion for a day, and then returned to Rongguo Mansion.
The next day, Jia Cong came to the door with a craftsman, first measured Jia's mother's yard, and then went to other people's yards.
The size of these doors and windows is basically the same, and you only need to confirm the size.
In the end, even Jia Yu's East Road Courtyard and Jia Zheng's side also measured it together.
Worthless things, leaving one or two people alone, on the contrary, everyone is uncomfortable, there is no need for that.
Jia Cong came to the Lin Mansion again and asked for the opinions of Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu.
"Father-in-law, the doors and windows on my side have been replaced with glass, whether you can change them here, if you change them, I will change them for you."
Lin Ruhai said suspiciously: "Glass? What's that? I've never seen anything like it, so what's the use of you asking me? ”
Lin Daiyu said: "Daddy, glass is the same thing as glass, very transparent. ”
Lin Ruhai said: "Liuli? That kind of stuff should be expensive, right? ”
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Father-in-law, I got some glass plates, which are very transparent, embedded in the doors and windows, and the room is brighter, countless times stronger than the window paper." ”
Lin Ruhai thought for a while and said, "If you say that, I can't imagine what it looks like, you and Yu'er can discuss it." ”
Jia Cong nodded and said goodbye with Lin Daiyu.
"Brother Cong, what have you been busy with these days? Haven't come to see me in days. ”
Jia Cong said with a smile: "Isn't this about the New Year, busy receiving gifts at home, there are too many people who come to give gifts during this time, and the hands that receive gifts are weak, and they can't get out of their bodies directly." ”
Lin Daiyu said: "Brother Cong, are you considered to be corrupt and bribery?" Aren't you afraid that people will say that you are a corrupt official? ”
Jia Cong said: "Sister Lin, you don't understand this, this is not corruption and bribery, it can only be regarded as human relations, if these people want to make money safely and steadily, it depends on my attitude, I accept their gifts, they will feel at ease."
If I don't take it, they will be cranky, and if I do, both sides will be happy, why don't you do it? ”
Lin Daiyu said: "It's really crooked, is there anything good?" ”
Jia Cong said: "It's either New Year's goods or silver, what good things can there be, aren't they all the same?" ”
"Cut, it's boring, it's not fun at all."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Why don't I kiss you, will you try it?" ”
Lin Daiyu glanced at Jia Cong and said, "you, this is in my house, you dare to mess around, I will let people knock you out of the door, and I won't let you come to the door again, so I asked you if you are afraid?" ”
Jia Cong cooperated: "I'm afraid of death, I can't see Sister Lin, what should I do if I miss you?" What if you miss me? ”
Lin Daiyu snorted and said, "You are so beautiful, I don't want you." By the way, Brother Cong, the old lady's house, have you installed glass for her? ”
Jia Cong said: "I just measured the size today, and I have sent it to Zhuangzi to cut glass, I came here this time, just to help you measure it together and install it for you together." ”
Lin Daiyu said: "Since the old lady is all pretended, let's pretend too, Brother Cong, you can take someone to measure the size." ”
Jia Cong nodded, went to the front yard to get a carpenter, took him to measure the dimensions of all places, and sent him to the Zhuangzi to prepare glass.
Lin Daiyu asked, "Brother Cong, when will you be able to put the glass on?" ”
Jia Cong said: "Cut the glass today, and it can be installed tomorrow, the day after tomorrow at the latest, soon." ”
Thinking of the watermelons planted in the greenhouse on Zhuangzi, they should be almost ripe, Lin Daiyu should like it, watermelons are really rare in this season.
"Sister Lin, do you want to eat watermelon?"
Lin Daiyu glanced at Jia Cong and said, "I want to eat, do you have it?" ”
Jia Cong smiled: "Brother really has watermelon, just ask if you want to eat it, right?" ”
Lin Daiyu looked at Jia Cong and blinked her eyes.
My mind began to spin, could it be that Brother Cong really had a watermelon? It is said that there will be no watermelons in this winter.
"Brother Cong, sister wants to eat watermelon."
Jia Cong smiled: "Let's go, take you to eat." ”
Lin Daiyu said: "Do you want to go out?" Where are you going? Is it impossible to go to Ningguo Mansion? ”
Jia Cong said: "Brother took you out of the city, go to the Zhuangzi outside the city to go shopping, the watermelon I planted in the greenhouse, it should be ripe, I haven't eaten it yet, we are definitely the first to eat watermelon now." ”
Lin Daiyu suddenly realized that it was a watermelon grown in the greenhouse, and Brother Cong seemed to have said it before, and he forgot it.
"Brother Cong, did you really grow watermelons? I thought you were just talking. ”
Jia Cong said: "Of course it's true, when did I lie to you, if there is no watermelon there, wouldn't it be a gang?" Do you want to go? ”
Lin Daiyu smiled: "Go, of course I went, now that no one cares, why don't you go?" ”
The two put on mink coats, took Erya and Zijuan, Jia Cong did not ride a horse, several people crowded in the carriage, and they talked and laughed out of the Shenjing City.
Zijuan lifted the curtain and looked out, and asked, "Grandpa Guo, are we really out of the city?" ”
Jia Cong said: "That's still fake, and it will be Zhuangzi in a while." ”
Lin Daiyu said: "Brother Cong, is your watermelon ripe?" Don't let us go, there is no familiar one, let us run for nothing. ”
Jia Cong thought for a while and said: "Count the days, there should be ripe, don't worry, even if it's two or three days away, you can eat it, and you can definitely eat watermelon." ”
Hearing Jia Cong say this, Lin Daiyu also put her mind at ease.
In fact, even if you can't eat watermelon, it's not a big deal, just wait a few more days.
Brother Cong was able to go out to play alone for a day without being disturbed by others, which is quite happy.
These days, a person is indeed a little bored at home.
In the past, there were sisters with me every day, talking and playing, but when I returned to my own home, I was alone.
Some time ago, it was quite good, Brother Cong came to accompany him every day, the two read together, practiced martial arts together, played together, and were very happy.
However, a few days ago, after Brother Cong was suddenly called away, he came less often.
I haven't been here for the past few days, and I don't have anyone to accompany me.
Thinking of this, he pouted and said, "Brother Cong, if you don't come to see me, no one will play with me?" ”
Jia Cong was amused by her cute appearance, picked up her little face, and kissed her little mouth.
"Ah, what are you doing? Be careful if this woman beats you up, it's all my people in this car. ”
Jia Cong smiled: "I'll take the time to come over to see you, but I'm busy at the end of the year, so I can't come over every day, or I'll take you back to live for a few days and then send you back?" ”
Lin Daiyu said: "Then forget it, I have to toss back and forth after a few days, and after the New Year, I will go back and live for a while." ”
Jia Cong said: "Okay, you have the final say, I will try to accompany you as much as possible in the past few days, and I will play with you until dark today and then go back, and I will take you to ride a horse later." ”
While speaking, the carriage came to the Zhuangzi.
Liu Quan saw Li Biao escorting the car into the villa, and hurriedly greeted him.
"Commander Li, why are you here? Didn't Grandpa Guo come? Who's in the car? ”
Li Biao said: "Manager Liu, Grandpa Guo is in the car, let's go in first." ”
The carriage went directly into the courtyard, and Jia Cong got out of the carriage.
"Little Liu Quan, please say hello to Grandpa Guo."
Jia Cong said: "Get up, don't be polite, Manager Liu, is the watermelon in the greenhouse ripe, I'm here to eat the watermelon today." ”
Liu Quan smiled when he heard this: "Grandpa Guo, it's really a coincidence that you came, there were two of them yesterday, and five or six of them are today, so I wanted to make up ten of them, and then send them to the house for you to try." ”
Jia Cong smiled: "It's a coincidence, let people send me all the cooked ones after a while, and I will take them with me when I leave." ”
"Knowing Grandpa Guo, I'll arrange it."
Liu Quan agreed, turned around and went down.
Jia Cong came to the carriage and said with a smile: "How is it, now you can rest assured?" Come down and rest and eat watermelon for a while. ”
Lin Daiyu jumped out of the car and said with a grin: "Brother Cong, your date is really accurate." ”
The house here has always been cleaned by a maid, and the stove is lit in the house, which is very warm.
After the tea, Liu Quan brought back eight large watermelons.
"Grandpa Guo, these eight are all cooked, and the others are almost hot, you eat them first, and when those are the day, they will be sent to the house immediately."
Jia Cong said: "I know, I will have dinner here at noon, and you can arrange it." ”
Liu Quan saw that there was a female roll, and he didn't stay any longer, so he agreed and retreated.
Lin Daiyu, Zijuan, and Erya looked at the eight big watermelons placed in the room, and they were also amazed.
It's one thing to hear about it, it's one thing to see it with your own eyes, it's another thing, after all, it's a cold winter wax moon, and it really grows a big watermelon, which is really incredible.
Zijuan said: "It's really a big watermelon, it feels so unreal." ”
Jia Cong said with a smile: "It's real when you eat it, today the master personally came to cut the watermelon for you." ”
Picked up the watermelon knife, wiped it, brushed it, and with a crackle, cut a watermelon into leaf by leaf.
picked up a leaf of watermelon and handed it to Lin Daiyu.
"Sister Lin, you taste it first and see how it tastes? You two eat too, you're welcome. ”
Lin Daiyu took the watermelon, looked at the red melon, and suddenly her appetite increased, she opened her mouth and took a bite, her eyes narrowed with a smile.
"Brother Cong, this watermelon is too sweet, so delicious, it's better than the summer watermelon, you can try it too."
Jia Cong smiled, put down the watermelon knife, picked up a piece of watermelon, and took a bite, it was so sweet.
At this time, the temperature difference between day and night is very large, and it is strange that it is not sweet, plus in this watermelon greenhouse, a batch of soybean cakes are used as fertilizer, and each watermelon has grown a head, how can it not be delicious?
"This watermelon is really delicious, and this year's New Year is a blessing."
Lin Daiyu nodded her little head and said, "Well, well, it's so delicious, Brother Cong, how many watermelons have you planted?" How long can we eat it, but don't just eat it a few times and then it's gone? ”
Jia Cong said: "It is said that we can eat for a month, but there are too many people in Rongfu and can't afford it, send a batch to the old lady during the New Year, let her share it, and we will stay and eat it ourselves, we should be able to eat for more time."
Don't worry, remember that you eat first, these will be brought to you when you go back, you go back and eat slowly, and when it is cooked in a few days, I will send it to you. ”
Lin Daiyu smiled when she heard this: "Brother Cong, you are really good, but why don't you take one for the old lady first and let her try it?" ”
Jia Cong thought for a while and said: "Forget it, this thing is too cold, the old lady estimates that she can't eat a few bites, it must be cheaper than others, if you let them know that the watermelon is ripe, they must think about it every day, and even think about giving favors."
If you don't give it then, it won't be beautiful, and if you give it, we won't have to eat, and we can't grow it ourselves, and it's cheaper than others, right? I'm not that great, so when the Chinese New Year's Eve comes, just send a batch to the old lady, and keep the rest. ”
Jia Cong's answer made Lin Daiyu very satisfied, with a smile on her face, Brother Cong was really good to herself.
However, Xiaozui was not idle, and when he ate watermelon, it was not slow at all.
Zijuan and Erya, seeing that they both had eaten, picked up a leaf of watermelon and ate it.
After a while, the four of them solved a big watermelon.
Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "Brother Cong, I really enjoyed eating today." ”
Zijuan said: "The girl is right, this watermelon is really delicious, it is really much better than the summer watermelon, Grandpa Guo, how did you grow it?" ”
Jia Cong said: "I'll take you to the greenhouse to see, watermelon, the greater the temperature difference between day and night, the better the taste of this watermelon, in summer, the watermelon over there in Turpan is the best."
The climate over there is very abnormal, wearing a cotton jacket in the morning, wearing yarn in the afternoon, and eating watermelon around the stove, which is the climate over there. ”
Lin Daiyu said: "Brother Cong, is it really as mysterious as you said?" Wear a padded jacket in the morning, wear yarn at noon, and have to sit by the stove to eat a watermelon? ”
Jia Cong said: "Of course it's true, the temperature difference between day and night over there is very large, and the melons and fruits over there are very delicious and sweet, and when it comes to summer, I will let the caravan run alone, pull a batch of melons and fruits back, and let you taste them." ”
After eating the watermelon and taking a breath, Jia Cong took them to the watermelon greenhouse to have a look.
took Lin Daiyu to ride a horse on the mountain road, and took her to the mountain road and galloped around.
This season, the horses are galloping, it's too cold, but fortunately, the two of them are warm, plus they exercise all year round, but they don't feel very cold.
Back in the yard, it was warm for a while, and the meal was ready.
The two had a hearty lunch, there were no outsiders, the atmosphere between the two was better, and Lin Daiyu was very satisfied.
There is really nothing fun in this winter, there is really no place to play in the afternoon, so I took Lin Daiyu to train for an afternoon.
Let Lin Daiyu see the training process of herself and Erya.
Watching Jia Cong and Erya climb up from the cliff to the top of the mountain, and then rushing down again, Lin Daiyu completely knew what the gap was.
On the way back, Lin Daiyu also looked very interested, Jia Cong accompanied her all day today, and she was really in a very good mood.
