Chapter 202: Eating Melon Seeds?
No matter what the purpose of the people helped, Wen Yao was still grateful, and specially asked Li Yi what he wanted to eat tomorrow, and she made it for him.
Li Yi was also not polite, and ordered a few dishes, all of which Wen Yao had made before, and he thought it was delicious and wanted to eat it again.
Wen Yao waved his hand: "No problem, Li Gongzi will eat whatever he wants, we will do it tomorrow." ”
One sentence caused a few small screams, pestering Wen Yao and shouting what she wanted to eat, and the whole yard was full of laughter.
It was precisely because of this that no one noticed Li Yi's crimson cheeks.
After playing for a while, Xunfeng led a group of boys and Wen Ying to practice martial arts in the open space behind the courtyard, Wen Yao walked back after watching for a while, and saw Li Yi standing next to her flower bed, looking at the rows of sunflowers in a daze.
"Li Gongzi, what are you looking at?" Wen Yao walked over and looked at it, except for her sunflower, there seemed to be nothing left.
I don't know if Wen Yao sprinkled milk on her body when she was making mung bean milk ice, and as soon as she got close to Li Yi, she smelled a milky fragrance.
He subconsciously moved a little to the side and said, "It's nothing, I just think that these flowers planted by Miss Wen are a little special." ”
"That's what you say?" Wen Yao simply stepped on the edge of the flower bed and stood up, and after buttoning the flowers for a long time, Li Yi saw her break something from the middle of the flowers and put it in her mouth, and hurriedly subconsciously shouted: "Miss Wen......"
"Huh?" Wen Yao glanced at him, spit out the shell in his mouth into the palm of his hand, threw it into the soil, and then broke a few more and jumped back to the ground.
"Well, that's it." Wen Yao stretched out her hand, and there were some things that Li Yi had never seen before lying in her small palm, like the melon seeds that Grandpa Wen had eaten for a long time, but it was not very similar, this slender and long, and that kind of thing was different.
"What is this?" Li Yi had seen Wen Yao eat it, and knew that it was also edible, so he reached out and pinched one in his hand and looked at it.
Wen Yao taught him: "This is called sunflower, also called sunflower seeds, you see, just eat it like this, open the shell, and eat the kernels inside, just like the pumpkin seeds we eat." "Before the advent of sunflower seeds, the so-called melon seeds were pumpkin seeds, which were delicious and delicious, but still inferior to sunflower seeds.
And this sunflower can also be squeezed for oil.
Wait a minute!
Oil?
"Wait a minute." Wen Yao stuffed Li Yi's hand with the melon seed net, took out the small notebook he was carrying, turned a new page, and firmly wrote two words: oil extraction.
Li Yi looked at what she had written and couldn't help but ask, "Miss Wen, what does this mean?" ”
Oil?
Wen Yao put away the small notebook and smiled: "It's nothing, it's nothing, I'll tell you later, by the way, Li Gongzi, everyone is so familiar, you just call me Yaoyao." ”
"......" Li Yi paused and said, "Then don't call me Li Gongzi in the future, just call me Li Yi." ”
"Okay, okay, you taste, what are these melon seeds? It's a pity that it's not mature yet, and it is estimated that it will take half a month like this, and it will be possible to wait for the shell to grow hard. Wen Yao said while looking at him.
Li Yi swallowed a few in a row, and it did have a unique taste, that is, it was tender and delicious, and it was much easier to swallow than the previous melon seeds.
"So, you've done so much, a big circle, all for food?" At first, Li Yi only thought that these unique flowers were unique to the Wen family, so that the golden and brilliant blooms around the courtyard wall were quite beautiful, and if they were into pieces, I am afraid it would be even more beautiful.
Unexpectedly, the Wen family even ate this little flower.
Wen Yao nodded: "Yes." "I knew that there would be a lot of things, but in the end, it was the previous worry that restrained her hands and feet, and she was not bold enough.
Li Yi unceremoniously finished all the food in his hand.
Anyway, it was still early, and I couldn't sleep, the moonlight was just right, Wen Yao simply went to the kitchen to fry some pots, made two cups of tea and put them on the table in the courtyard.
"Li Yi, are you eating?" Wen Yao shouted, don't say it, this name is much more convenient than shouting Li Gongzi.
Li Yi came to the table and sat down, a plate of pots, two cups of tea, and two people in a bright moon.
"What fruit do you want to plant?" After nothing for a while, Li Yi had no choice but to provoke the topic.
Wen Yao held the cup in both hands, rubbed it back and forth, and thought for a while: "Do you know cherries?" ”
Li Yi was stunned for a moment: "Cherry? What's that? ”
Wen Yao thought about it, isn't the cherry called this here? She took out her small notebook, drew a picture of cherries, and handed it to Li Yi: "This is it." ”
After Li Yi saw it, he realized: "It turned out to be a peach, I know, it's just Yaoyao, why do you call it a cherry?" ”
Ah......h
Wen Yao took back the small book and smiled embarrassedly, and said: "What, I heard my father say this allusion before, so I said that the original meaning of this peach is the fruit eaten by the warbler, so it is called a peach, but I don't think it's good to call it like this, so I changed the name to it, called cherry, isn't it more pleasant to hear." ”
Li Yi chewed on these two names with a look I have read the book, don't lie to me, and finally said: "Indeed, cherries are better than peaches." ”
"Hehe, hehehe, huh." Wen Yao couldn't wait to give herself a big mouth.
Then Li Yi nodded: "I will ask Xunfeng to send a letter to my mother and ask her to find saplings for you." ”
Wen Yao restrained her smile and said seriously: "That's a lot of trouble Madam, thank you too, just tell me what you want to eat in the future, and I'll make it for you." Wen Yao patted her chest and reassured.
Li Yi was amused by her and said, "Then can I ask you for a favor?" ”
Wen Yao sat down obediently: "You say, as long as I can do it." ”
Li Yi smiled and said: "Actually, it's nothing, it's the thing called cake you made for Grandma Wen before, and the jam we ate ice before, can you make some, I will also bring it to my mother when I send someone to deliver the letter."
To be honest, I also have a grandmother at home, and she also likes to eat snacks. ”
Wen Yao still thinks what is the difficulty, it turns out that she likes dim sum, it is so simple, she will turn around and make ten kinds of eight kinds, and directly put together a box.
"Small problem, small problem, you have helped me so much, let alone a box of snacks, it is no problem to ask for ten boxes, wrap it on me, when do you send someone to deliver the letter, I will do it for you."
It's just that your home isn't from the capital? It's a few days from here to the capital, won't the dim sum be broken, or I'll give you the recipe directly, do you have a cook at home? It should be possible to follow the prescription. "But a few dim sum recipes for a bunch of fruit trees are still earned.
Li Yi didn't expect Wen Yao to be so generous, he had eaten the dim sum she made, which was more delicate, soft and delicious than the imperial kitchen, and it was never sweet and stuffy.
Unexpectedly, she just mentioned it, and she was actually willing to give Fang Zi away.
Thinking of this, Li Yi suddenly felt that it was a little immoral for him to eat and drink in other people's homes.
Li Yi decided not to ask for Wen Yao's recipe, so he said: "No, no, this recipe is the foundation of the craftsman, I will never ask you for this for a few trees, you just have to do it with confidence, I will let people send it, and I guarantee that it will not be broken." ”
Wen Yao is not reluctant, since everyone has said so, then maybe people have their own way.
"Okay, then tell me about your grandmother's tastes and preferences, and I'll know what to do."
In this way, the two sat in the courtyard and talked for a long time, until Xunfeng came back with a few boys.
