When Feng Lan left for almost a month, the fruit picking period in the nightshade garden was in full swing, and Xi Yanqing now recruits at least two to three workers every day to work together. In the town, the fruit harvested every three or four days has become one every two days. The ice cream and popsicles are selling very fast, and the supply is almost in short supply. How many people are waiting in line to buy such a popsicle when it's hot.
The three workers recruited for the banquet today are all from the same family, Du Chang, who repaired the fence, and his younger brother and sister. Du Chang is capable, and his younger brothers and sisters were influenced by him. They are also very simple and industrious. Therefore, when there are not many recruits, Xi Yanqing uses the three brothers and sisters to ensure that the work is quick and not lazy.
"Brother Yanqing, how many months can this fruit be harvested?" Du Chang asked casually. It's really nice to be able to earn a steady wage every day.
"It can be harvested until the beginning of September. It's hard to say now." Xi Yanqing replanted new seedlings in the area that had been harvested in the early stage. Due to temperature restrictions, it is uncertain whether it is possible to plant two-season fruit.
"It would be great if it could be harvested all year round." Du Chang's younger brother, Du Shenghan, said with a smile.
"It's impossible to harvest all year round. But don't worry, there will be other jobs if you don't harvest it in the future. After the final harvest in my garden, all the seedlings will be pulled up and cleaned up. I'll plant it again next year. I'll have to trouble you to come and help at that time."
"What kind of trouble is this? We are too late to be happy." Du Chang carefully put aside the basket full of black nightshade fruits - this thing is too pulpy, and it is afraid of collision, so after picking which basket, he will directly use that basket to transport it to the town, Do not pour the basket in the middle.
"I hope it won't rain these few days." Xi Yanqing straightened up and looked into the distance for a while, "Let's hurry up and try to get another car today."
"Okay!" Du Chang and his younger brother and sister responded eagerly, picking up the fruit numbly.
"Brother Qing! Who do you think is here?!" At this time, Luo Fei's voice came from a distance, and the particularly loud voice of the little tiger followed closely: "Dad! Daddy!"
"Hey! Good son!" When Xi Yanqing shouted loudly, he saw Shi Shi and Li Siyuan came with one big and one small.
"Uncle Xi!" Xiao Changle led the little tiger outside, "Hello, Uncle Xi!"
"Chang Le is fine. Hey, why haven't you seen each other for half a month, Chang Le, you've grown so much again?" Xi Yanqing felt that this kid had grown fast enough, as if he had been drawn.
"My father and daddy are both tall, and my daddy said that I can grow tall too." Xiao Changle looked at the nightshade fruit in the garden, his eyes bright and excited, "Uncle Xi, can I pick the fruit? "
"Yes, just be careful not to get your body dirty."
"Thank you Uncle Xi!"
"It's really big." Li Siyuan smoothed his younger son's hair and looked at the garden in front of him.
"No wonder there are so many out every time." Shi Shi also followed into the garden, "How about Xixi? Today, I am here as a transporter myself."
"Don't, how dare I let you luck?" Xi Yanqing smiled and motioned to Du Chang and the others to be busy first, and then took Shi Shi to look around, "Why are you free today?" Very busy, sometimes he may not be able to meet when he goes to Shifu. Especially Shi Shi, who often goes out to talk about business, people are not at home.
"No, Chang Le insisted on picking nightshade. He also said that he wanted to pick grapes and watermelons, which made your big brother Li's head hurt. I said hurry up and walk around while I have some free time."
"Then why don't you just stay here for a few days before leaving? It's rare to come here. There are a lot of ripe fruits in the garden recently, so let Chang Le pick enough." Luo Fei suggested.
"Really, Uncle Luo Fei? Can I really live in your house?" When Xiao Changle heard Luo Fei's words, he turned around and ran over, his face flushed with excitement.
"Of course it's true, as long as you come, you can stay anytime!" Luo Fei pinched Xiao Changle's cheek.
"Look at Daddy! I'll just bring a change of clothes with me when I come!" Xiao Changle complained.
"How do you know that I didn't bring it?" Li Siyuan smiled, "Is it really all the things in the box that you take for me to take for the little tiger?"
"Ah? Dad actually lied to me!" Xiao Changle said so, and was very happy to think that he could live in Luo Fei's house. He repeatedly confirmed with his parents that he would not leave today, so he ran over to play with the little tiger.
Shi Shi and Li Siyuan were rarely able to relax, so they also picked nightshade in the nightshade garden. But after all, this job is not easy to do on a hot day, so it’s okay to experience it.
It just so happened that Luo Fei said that he still had something fresh for them to taste, so Li Siyuan and Shi Shi were curious and took the child back to the Xi's yard together.
Xi Yanqing didn't even know what Luo Fei was secretly tinkering with at home when he was busy outside recently. Seeing Luo Fei saying that he wanted to give them a surprise, he was really confused.
"What? I don't even know about it?" Xi Yanqing smiled, obviously telling Luo Fei: "You little one, wait and see at night!"
"Tell you what surprises you have, listen to me, and quickly get me a big bowl of ice flowers." Luo Fei patted Xi Yanqing's hand.
"Okay, okay, you are the boss, it's up to you." Xi Yanqing said, and went to the ice cellar. When he came out, he brought a large bowl of shaved ice flowers.
Luo Fei took the bowl with the ice flower, turned around and entered the kitchen, then divided the ice flower into several portions and put them in small bowls, and put the honey beans he made in advance on the small bowl. This honey bean is also home-grown, with pinto beans, red beans, mung beans, and peas in it. There are not as many types of beans in modern times, but he cooks them carefully, and the taste is definitely not bad.
Luo Fei put beans in all the bowls, and then poured sweet and sour blueberry sauce on each bowl of ice porridge. It looked very appetizing!
Xi Yanqing and Shi Shi have been waiting here for a long time, and Xiao Changle is even more curious. In fact, he hadn't picked enough nightshade fruit yet, but the things Uncle Luo Fei made were always delicious, so he chose to come back first after hesitating!
Luo Fei put bowls of ice porridge on the tea tray, and then brought it to the table. This ice porridge was something he used to like to eat in modern times, but he was busy on weekdays, so he might not always be able to eat it. This time, it was because he looked at mung beans for a while while making ice water with mung beans.
"Try it and see how it tastes." Luo Fei divided the bowls, and gave the little tiger a few beans for him to toss.
"I feel like I want to eat it." After Li Siyuan finished speaking, he took a spoon to learn Luo Fei, and mixed the beans, ice flowers and jam into his mouth. Suddenly, a sweet and cool feeling spread between his lips and teeth. It's not delicious.
"It's delicious!" Xi Yanqing had eaten ice porridge before, but he really didn't think about it after arriving here. After all, it's not like ice cream that you can find in any supermarket, and it's not a common thing to buy. It really depends on fate to remember.
"It seems that I can make a lot of money before it gets cold. Luo Fei, Luo Fei, why do you think you have so many weird ideas?" Shi Shi usually doesn't like to eat this sweet food, but this ice cream The porridge is not too sweet, and the honey bean and ice flower are combined with a cool taste, which is very welcoming.
"Thinking about it. It's better if you can make money. If you can't make it, you should share new things with your relatives and friends." Luo Fei himself is the least bowl except for the little tiger, because he can't eat ice now. After this little one came, he really became more able to eat than before, but it was much worse than when the little tiger was, and he was not as afraid of heat as when he was pregnant with the little tiger. Maybe the sex of this litter is not the same as the tiger cub.
"Uncle Luo Fei, can I have another bowl?" Xiao Changle asked. If it were someone else, he would definitely not say this, but he knew that the two of them had a very good relationship. He wouldn't mind if he asked Uncle Luo Fei, and he wouldn't think he was rude.
"And, I'll get you some more. But you can't eat too much, after all, it's cold. Uncle Luo Fei will make you other delicious food for you at night." Some, Xiao Changle was very satisfied, and after eating, he took the little tiger out to play, but this time he didn't go far, just entered the back vegetable garden.
"By the way, Big Brother Li, is there any news from Young Master Feng?" Luo Fei asked not only the question of Feng Lan and General Ye, but also about the longevity fruit. Before Xi Yanqing said how to make auspicious characters on the fruit, Shi Shi also accurately conveyed it, and Feng Lan also asked someone to do the same. But don't know how it went. This season, it is reasonable to say that the sun is full, which is a good time for the fruit to color.
"If you want to ask about Feng Lan and General Ye, then I'm not sure right now. As for the fruit, this is definitely no problem. Not long ago, Feng Lan sent a letter saying that he had seen the fruit with the words. It will be the saint's birthday soon, and he should bring the fruit to Prince Heng's mansion."
"Hope him all the best," Rofe said.
However, at this time, Feng Lan was a little confused.
On the day he left from Luo Fei, Feng Lan still thought that he must go to see Ye Feng, but when he walked on the road, he was a little discouraged, and when the news came from the orchard that he was asked to visit, he Has entered procrastination mode again.
Knowing that this is the last year and the last chance, in a few months, he will really be powerless, but he just doesn't dare to express his thoughts in front of Ye Feng.
Why is he so daring on weekdays that he is cowardly towards Ye Feng? !
Feng Lan, Feng Lan, you deserve to be laughed at and can't get married!
"Master, you have taken these fruits from the orchard for two days. If you don't go to the General's Mansion, these fruits will not be fresh." The housekeeper Rong Bo looked at Feng Lan and was worried for him. These fruits with characters have been picked for two days, and they are always held in their hands like this, so they will wilt sooner or later, right
"Uncle Rong, if he really takes me as his younger brother, then, what should I do?" Feng Lan's fruit has characters on it, which is confusing and confusing, but Feng Lan doesn't know what to do. Knowing what it is, and he can conclude that Ye Feng can also guess it at a glance. But it is precisely because of this that it is particularly tangled. When I did it, I didn't think it would really be successful, so I used a very obvious sentence, which is really unpretentious when I think about it now.
"What are you afraid of? You don't even think about it. If you can't marry yourself this year, you won't be able to marry yourself next year. No matter how bad the result is, can you still have this bad?"
"That's right. If I don't let him know, I will have no way out." Feng Lan took the cut paper, wrapped the apples one by one, and put them in a cloth bag embroidered with the word "Fu"!
"Master! Are you planning to go now? How can this be done!" The steward saw Feng Lan riding on the horse, and was about to sit on the ground and cry, "Why don't you wait until tomorrow!"
"I can't wait!" With a whistle, Feng Lan left the house, and regardless of whether Ye Feng was at home or not, she held a bag of apples and knocked on the door of the General's Mansion.
The doorman came out quickly. Seeing that it was Feng Lan, he was stunned for a while, and then said, "Young Master Feng, wait a moment, the little one will report."
Feng Lan came all the way, and was in no hurry. Well, he's cowardly again, and now his mind is full of: Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! He won't eat you! If he really wants to eat you... then you just lie down with your belly exposed!
The servant quickly ran back after entering, motioning Feng Lan to go in and saying, "The general is in the study now, please come with me."
Feng Lan thought that the study was good, and if it was the study, anyone could enter. Since he was let in, at least he didn't take him too much as an outsider.
Apple hugged tighter and tighter, Feng Lan took a deep breath, and listened to the little servant opening the door with a "squeak": "General, Young Master Feng is here."
Feng Lan thanked him and heard that the door was closed again behind him, and in front of him, was Ye Feng, the general of Zhenbei, who was busy writing something.
Ye Feng is brave and good at fighting, and his reputation is far-reaching, let alone a foreigner, there are many people in Yuqing who are in awe of him, and some people use Ye Feng's appearance to scare their disobedient children, saying you If you dare to make a fool of yourself, General Ye will come and take you away, making you look like Ye Feng has three heads and six arms.
But in fact, Ye Feng himself is not scary at all, on the contrary, he is very handsome. This man is tall but not burly. He has bronze skin that many men envy, and the firm and powerful muscles perfectly cover the skeleton, giving people a sense of momentum. The feeling of waiting.
Although the smile is a little less, it can't hide the fact that his facial features are extremely good. Especially those eyes, sharp and energetic, they looked like they were about to be sucked in, they couldn't stop at all.
"Feng Lan, Feng Lan?" Ye Feng saw that the person opposite him did not respond, so he could not help but stand closer and waved his hand to Feng Lan's face, "What are you thinking?"
"Ah?" Feng Lan was stunned, "Oh, sorry Big Brother Ye, I-I'm lost."
"It doesn't matter, it's me who should apologize. I don't like pauses when writing letters, so I'm sorry to make you wait for a while."
"I came too suddenly." Feng Lan remembered that when he first came in, this person was indeed writing something at the desk, and he just stood at the door and watched for a while. It was only when he saw the candle on Ye Feng's desk that he realized it. It was getting dark... So how nervous was he that he couldn't even react to such an obvious thing! No wonder Rong Bo asked him to wait for tomorrow.
"Sit down." Ye Feng poured tea for Feng Lan himself, "The last time I stayed in my house for more than half a year, did you find what you were looking for?"
"found it."
"Then you came to my house so late..."
"I-I'll bring you some apples." Feng Lan put the apple bag on the table with difficulty, "Here are the apples I planted in my own home. Brother Ye, you and you keep it for you."
"Apple?" Ye Feng raised his eyebrows, wondering for a while what Feng Lan thought of giving him apples at night. This season, there are already ripe fruits in the south, and the civilians in the north may not be able to eat them so quickly, but he still has them in his general's residence.
"This is different from ordinary apples. You'll know after you eat it anyway." Feng Lan gritted her teeth secretly and decided to go for it. He shoved Apple over in one go, and then stood up, "Then Big Brother Ye, if you continue to work, I, I will go back first."
"Wait!" Ye Feng stopped the flustered Feng Lan, "Are you here alone?"
"Um."
"It's so late, and it's not safe outside. If there is an emergency on your way, how should I explain to the Marquis?" Ye Feng hesitated for a while, "Just stay at my house for one night."
"Ah? This... No, no! I, I'd better go back. If I don't go back, Uncle Rong will talk about me to death." This is still a small matter. The big thing is that if Ye Feng saw the words on those apples and didn't want to respond to him How much he has to! embarrassing! embarrassed!
"I'll send someone a message in a while, Uncle Rong won't say anything." Originally, Ye Feng felt that it was not suitable for a single man to keep an unmarried brother, but Feng Lan's way of looking at it was a problem. There was something wrong with coming here to deliver apples at night, but he was curious, what did this kid want to do? Ye Feng took a hint of doubt to solve the big blessing bag.
"Don't! Brother Ye, you, you should wait until I leave." This time Feng Lan didn't wait for Ye Feng to say anything, and turned around and ran out.
What a shame!
How could a little brother take the initiative to go to someone's house to confess to someone!
After Feng Lan came out, she whistled casually, thinking about asking his horse to come and pick him up, but the horse that used to run over with a whistle didn't come for a long time!
No way, Feng Lan had to ask someone to ask questions.
After the servant came, he said very embarrassedly, "Master Feng, your horse is in the stable right now."
"Then why doesn't it come out?"
"That's right. Although I don't know who sent your horse to you, it is indeed a horse raised in our general's house. The husband of this horse is still in our stable here. Long time no see, young couple. reminiscing."
"Ah?" Feng Lan was dumbfounded. This Ma was obviously given by his cousin. But that's right, my cousin didn't say who sent the horse to the palace, "How, how am I going to get home? Or, would you take me to the stable?"
"Okay, this way please."
"Wait!" The servant just made a gesture of invitation, and Ye Feng came over with an apple in his hand. He waved his hand for the next person to leave, and then walked across to Feng Lan who was stunned.
Feng Lan was so breathless that he didn't dare to breathe, and his head was so low that it seemed to touch his chest.
At this time, Ye Feng raised his chin very gently.
"May I be like a star and a king like the moon, and the lights are bright every night..." Ye Feng paused, staring at Feng Lan, "Feng Lan, tell Brother Ye, what does this mean?"
The author has something to say:
