Chapter 102: Chilled Watermelon
On a hot summer day, serving such a colorful, tempting and delicious fruit ice tray is simply the biggest test of human self-control.
The first time Aunt Yu saw it, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
You know, she has lived in the palace for many years, and she is the person who knows how to control her emotions the most.
However, now in the face of such a fruit ice tray, she can't control it!
The fruit plate was quickly placed on the table next to Aunt Yu, and Xiao Nianzhi also walked over: "Auntie, it's hot, let's eat some fruit first, and we'll see later, what do we eat." ”
The two of them ate so well at noon, that it wasn't dark today, and they hadn't digested it.
So, don't rush to think about what to eat for a while.
Aunt Yu couldn't control it for a long time, but she still tried to be reserved.
The small skewers of the fruit have been placed on a small plate on the side.
Aunt Yu picked up a skewer, accompanied by a small dish, and tied a piece of watermelon first.
On such a summer day, a piece of chilled watermelon is comfortable to think about.
Today's watermelons are a little different from the sandy fruit soils that were improved in later generations.
However, when I took a bite, it was crisp and refreshing, and now it is only lightly iced, and it has a slight coolness.
Aunt Yu felt that this temperature was just right to eat, so she squinted her eyes and took another bite.
A piece of watermelon is not large in the first place, and two bites are enough to eat.
The abundant juice bursts in the mouth, and the sweet taste and cool refreshment also swim between the lips and teeth at the same time, and then spread to every part of the body.
Aunt Yu even felt that every inch of her pores seemed to have received this faint coolness, so that she opened comfortably.
The heat was dispelled a lot, and Aunt Yu nodded and pricked another piece of melon.
This melon is very similar to some melon varieties in later generations, with a faint green color, and after removing the inner seed soil, only sweet and fragrant.
The skin of the melon has been removed, and the layer of flesh close to the skin is slightly crisp, and the more you go inside, the softer the flesh becomes, and at the same time it has a long and sweet aroma.
One bite at a time, it is directly sweet to people's hearts.
Melon is indeed like its name, it is much sweeter than watermelon, and it has a different taste.
Eating it is another kind of enjoyment.
Aunt Yu, who has a sweet tooth, almost lifted her feet excitedly!
At this time, Aunt Yu couldn't help but cheer quietly in her heart: sweet, crisp, tender, and refreshing!
Ahhh
The melon tasted too good, Aunt Yu couldn't control it, she didn't care about apricots and peaches for the time being, and picked melons to start, seeing that Xiao Nianzhi hadn't moved yet, she hurriedly beckoned: "Think about it, come here, what do you want?" ”
Xiao Nianzhi was called, nodded obediently, and then walked over and sat opposite Aunt Yu.
She was just cutely eaten by Aunt Yu just now.
The cuteness of the girl, regardless of age, Aunt Yu just looked satisfied with squinting, really like a cat that has successfully foraged for food, so cute that people can't help but want to touch their heads.
Just think about it, of course.
Xiao Nianzhi really said, Aunt Yu must be embarrassed, and she will turn her face if she doesn't say it well.
After sitting down, Xiao Nianzhi also tied a piece of watermelon first.
Chilled watermelon is simply the standard in summer.
Without it, I always feel that the taste of summer is a little less.
A piece of watermelon dispelled the slight heat on his body, and Xiao Nianzhi then pierced the apricot flesh, peach flesh, and the wild fruit that looked so purple that it was about to turn black.
Qingxing said that they call it the fruit of forgetfulness.
They don't know exactly what the scientific name is.
This kind of fruit, Xiao Nianzhi has never seen it in later generations.
There is a possibility that it was improved in the middle and then became a different variety.
There is another one, probably extinct.
Xiao Nianzhi thinks that it tastes very good, although it is not big, it tastes a little natural and fragrant, the taste is good, and the taste is okay.
If it really goes extinct, it would be a pity.
So, there's time to move it into the yard and plant some.
A fruit ice tray, two people almost half of the show.
Qingxing and Qingtao watched from the side, and their gluttonous saliva was about to come out!
They feel that they are not particularly gluttonous people, but they can't stand the deliciousness of these two people!
Especially Aunt Yu, that satisfied look is very rare.
Qing Xing's mouth almost couldn't close in surprise at first, if it weren't for the fear that her aunt would be angry when she saw it, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to react for a long time.
As the cold breath rises, the fruit is slowly soaked in a cool temperature, and the fruity aroma also drifts into the distance little by little along the wisps of cool air.
The fruit is originally cut into small pieces, which is very convenient for the fruity aroma to spread.
At this time, along with the cool air, it floated farther.
Coupled with Aunt Yu's eating and broadcasting scene, Qingxing and Qingtao had to lower their heads from time to time to swallow their uncontrollable saliva.
Aunt Yu was too happy at first and didn't know about it, but later found out and asked Xiao Nianzhi: "Is there anything else about this?" ”
Xiao Nianzhi found out just now, but she is both an apprentice and a guest, so it's not easy to be the master.
Therefore, I kept suppressing it and didn't say it, thinking that if Aunt Yu really didn't notice it later, she would remind her again.
Now that she heard Aunt Yu ask, she nodded hurriedly: "Yes, I'll get it." ”
Aunt Yu opened her mouth, wanting Qingxing and the others to prepare for their own departure.
But I was afraid that there would be some exclusive inheritance involved, and it would make the little girl embarrassed, so I didn't say anything in the end.
She had eaten a lot at this time, and she just got up and walked around, so that after digesting it, she could eat again when she came back.
Thinking of this, Aunt Yu also got up, saying that she was going to see the excitement.
Everyone went to the backyard together and made a new fruit ice tray.
Xiao Nianzhi can use saltpeter to make ice, Aunt Yu naturally knows.
Therefore, when she saw the ice tray before, she was not surprised, let alone asked.
It's just that knowing is knowing, and really watching the generation of this process, the whole person is still extremely shocked.
When she reacted, she said to Qingxing and Qingtao with a serious face: "Take care of your mouth, don't talk nonsense." ”
Aunt Yu's tone was not harsh, but the majesty of the aunt in charge was enough to deter the two of them.
Qingxing and Qingtao hurriedly said that they knew and would take care of their mouths.
Looking at the obedient appearance of the two people, Aunt Yu nodded with satisfaction, and then turned her eyes to Xiao Nianzhi, who was busy.
No matter when, as long as he is in the kitchen, no matter how busy he is, Xiao Nianzhi is like flowing water, with smooth beauty and familiarity.
Aunt Yu looked at it once and sighed once: Why is this little girl so well-behaved and cute, beautiful and capable?
She's really picked up a treasure!
Looking at it this way, her luck is still quite good.
Thinking of this, Aunt Yu straightened her chest with a little pride.
As a result, it didn't work well, and I straightened up my little belly that was slightly bulging because of eating fruit.
After reacting, Aunt Yu retracted it for a second, and at the same time looked around weakly, and then inhaled again quietly.
