The curiosity of the guests was completely aroused by this rice dumpling, and they all lost energy while eating. They were always thinking about the same question: "That rice dumpling looks so beautiful, and smells... It smells so good, I don’t know how it tastes…”
Seeing Xie Dongsheng go out, everyone turned their attention to Xie Dongsheng's son Xie Zhen.
The man in the flowered shirt said, "Xiao Xie, it was my uncle who was wrong just now. Can you give me that rice dumpling to try?"
Xie Zhen was stunned for a moment. He was not there just now. When he came in, he happened to see Xie Dongsheng stuffing the rice dumplings into the refrigerator. As for the previous one, I have no idea. Moreover, the people in front of him were all regular customers, and he didn't take it seriously even though it was just a rice dumpling. What's more, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, so it's appropriate to give two rice dumplings.
Thinking of this, Xie Zhen took out the rice dumplings again and asked: "How many of you, how many do you want?"
The man in the flowered shirt looked at the others and asked, "Is there anyone else eating?"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one said anything. They were all quite curious, but with the recent news about poisonous rice dumplings flooding the screen, they really didn't dare to eat this very coquettish-looking guy, so they all shook their heads.
The man in the flowered shirt smiled bitterly and said: "You guys, if there is a problem with this, can Lao Xie eat it? If you don't eat it, I will eat it. I will eat it. Xiao Xie, give me one."
"Don't act blindly..." The wife in the colorful shirt pinched him secretly.
The man in the flowered shirt didn't care. He took the rice dumplings handed over by Xie Zhen and opened them. Immediately, a fragrance spread. Everyone took a deep breath subconsciously. The sweet smell made everyone feel intoxicated. . Xie Zhen was a chef. When he smelled the smell, he immediately became energetic and opened one. He ate it without waiting for anyone to say anything. After one sip, I felt like I was possessed and kept stuffing it into my mouth. As a result, I ate too fast, choked, and ran out to find water to drink.
Seeing this, the woman laughed and said, "It's true, Lao Xie, that his own son doesn't even have enough to eat? Seeing that the child is hungry, he wolfed down the rice dumplings and even choked..."
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard someone next to me saying: "Old flower, please slow down! No one is trying to fight you! Slow down... Hey, you're choked anyway, drink some water quickly."
The woman heard the sound and looked over, only to see the man in the flowered shirt wolfing down the rice dumplings, but refused to drink water, holding it in until his face turned red. Finally, he couldn't help it, so he took a sip of water, and then let out a long breath. He shouted: "Xiao Xie, Xiao Xie! Xiao Xie! I want all the remaining rice dumplings you have!"
"Old flower, sit down, why are you crazy? I almost choked you to death, and you still eat it?" said the wife of the man in the flowered shirt.
The man in the flowered shirt chuckled and said nothing. This rice dumpling was so delicious that he almost swallowed it with his tongue! And he could see clearly that there were not many rice dumplings, only seven or eight. If others knew about this, would they be able to give him the leftovers? So he didn't say anything, went to the ground to put on his shoes, and went to find Xie Zhen.
Others are not stupid. The reaction of the man in the flowered shirt clearly shows that there is something wrong with the rice dumpling! So they followed out one by one.
Xie Zhen finally took a sip of water and pushed down the rice dumplings, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. He heard the man in the flowered shirt shouting from inside, asking for all the rice dumplings! What the hell is Xie Zhen doing? He can't even eat such delicious rice dumplings, so he's giving them away? He still feels bad for the one he just sent away! He finally understood why his father put the rice dumplings in the refrigerator. He wanted to eat them alone!
So, Xie Zhen hurriedly hid the rice dumplings in the kitchen, and when the man in the flowered shirt came running, he said, "Uncle Hua, what's wrong?"
The man in the flowered shirt looked around but didn't reply. After a while he asked, "Where are the remaining rice dumplings?"
"Running out of food." Xie Zhen lied.
"Come on, you haven't eaten yet. There are so many rice dumplings that it's enough for you. Hurry up and take them out. How much do you want? Just give me a price and I'll buy it." said the man in the flowered shirt.
"Laohua, you can't eat alone. You just ate one, and we haven't eaten it yet." Other people's voices came from outside.
The man in the flowered shirt was anxious: "Don't you dislike the presence of chemicals? I don't dislike it!"
"I just disliked it, but now I don't dislike it anymore. Xiao Xie, tell me how much we bought it for." Three other men also came in, and the woman who had been shouting that the rice dumplings were poisonous asked curiously: "Old Flower" , is it really that delicious?”
The man in the flowered shirt thought that this matter had already been discovered, and there was no point in hiding it anymore, so he said: "The most delicious rice dumplings I have ever eaten in my life! This rice dumpling, how can I say it, has a very special smell! That rice It's delicious, and the bamboo shoots in Mili are also delicious. Put them together, it's just amazing..." At this point, the man in the floral shirt subconsciously licked his lips.
"Stop talking, I'm already hungry from what you're talking about. Xiao Xie, look, your father promised to give it to us before, but now..." the woman asked shamelessly.
Xie Zhen was just thinking about how to politely refuse, when he heard Xie Dongsheng behind him shout: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, everyone, this rice dumpling is no longer for sale."
"Lao Xie, don't be so stingy, right? I'll pay you a hundred yuan, how about one hundred yuan?" The man in the flowered shirt was anxious.
Xie Dongsheng smiled bitterly and said: "Old flower, do you know what I just did? These rice dumplings were given to me by the abbot of Yizhishan. I wanted to ask for more, but they didn't give them to me at all. Based on my knowledge of him. , this is the only time I eat these rice dumplings this year. There are ten in the family, how many more... There are so many of you, I only have these few rice dumplings, who do you think I should sell them to? We all have a good relationship, and it’s not good to sell to anyone. I will die and keep it for myself. Hey, otherwise, who wouldn’t want to make money?”
"Ten of them a year? Isn't this monk too stingy?" the woman said in surprise.
The man in the flowered shirt also said: "Yes, this is too stingy. By the way, let's go to the monk to buy it. Can we buy it?"
Xie Dongsheng said: "You can go and try. He will be back soon."
When everyone heard this, they immediately ran out.
Not only Xie Dongsheng's family, but also several families had guests. After eating the square rice dumplings, everyone clamored to buy them.
However, these people ran out and stood on the street, basking in the sun for a long time. Some of them were about to suffer from heat stroke, and they did not see the monk delivering rice dumplings back and forth. Some people were impatient and couldn't wait any longer, so they started searching in the village. As soon as he searched, some people who had not tasted rice dumplings became curious. After tasting the rice dumplings, they immediately joined the search for Fang Zheng.
As a result, after searching the village, there was no trace of Fang Zheng. However, everyone did not give up, but became even more interested!
