Chapter 57 Eat something sweet when you are tired "Thank you, sister."...

"Thank you, sister." Tina took the ice cream with both hands.

The colorful sugar particles attached to the ice cream ball are very beautiful. Liu Shu doesn’t like these little things that add taste, as she thinks they are too sweet, but as long as the child likes them, it’s fine.

Although there have been a lot of strange things happening recently, that won't make Liu Shu give up going out with her friends. She has already begun to understand Qingque's philosophy.

"You won't be able to eat this after a while." Liu Shu turned the ice cream in her hand, trying to find a place to take a bite. Her portion had no sugar grains but was sprinkled with chocolate.

"Why?" Winnie was a staunch sugar-grain fan. She and her sister both chose fruity ice cream, but that didn't stop her from raising the food in her hand to take a photo with the person who invited her to eat ice cream.

"It's almost winter, right? Don't you think the trees over there are a little bare?" For the sake of your health, it's better not to eat ice in cold weather. Liu Shu turned to look at Tina.

She vaguely remembered the Dragon Lady's instructions. Of course, they were not directed at her, but something she overheard in the bookstore. The girl was obviously very fond of the Medicine-Bearing Dragon Lady and kept describing her appearance and words to the people traveling with her.

[Don't eat ice in cold places] is a bit too simple as a prescription, but the fact that it was said by the Dragon Girl herself makes up for it.

"We can eat secretly." They are no longer children who are prone to illness. Let the adults handle this matter. Winnie plotted loudly without paying attention to the children at hand.

"There are other snacks for winter," Liu Shu said, though he wasn't familiar with Gotham's winters. "This season is perfect for candied haws."

"I know where I can buy it!" Winnie opened her phone and sent her an address.

"Isn't it a mobile stall?" Candied haws must be more delicious when sold on the streets. Liu Shu glanced at Winnie's phone.

I can watch it on her phone, so I don’t have to open my own phone.

"This shop also sells a lot of other things, all snacks from your country. I think they're delicious, but I don't know if they're authentic."

"Authenticity... Do you also care about this?" Liu Shu took a bite of ice cream with some confusion.

"It's only natural to want to know what foreign food tastes like, right?"

"That's true." But it's really disappointing to eat something that doesn't taste good.

"Then let's go now!" Winnie is very active. Fortunately, she has a driver, so this kind of instant travel behavior is not very troublesome. Her sister looked down at the ice cream in her hand and followed her skillfully.

By the time Liu Shu was ready, they were already under the Chinatown plaque.

"Three strings of candied haws, thank you."

There is something inexplicably appealing about hawthorns wrapped in a shiny sugar shell. You know without a doubt that they are delicious.

Liu Shu stared at the menu hanging on the wall. They also sold other desserts. Yes, desserts. In China, they would be called steamed buns and flower rolls, but here, they have other names.

"Do you want anything else to eat?" Winnie saw that she was staring at the menu.

"No, I'm just looking." Compared to this, the boss was actually making wontons. Liu Shu raised his hand and tapped the glass.

"Are you selling this?" It wasn't on the menu, not even the suspected one.

Even before Liu Shu opened her mouth, she was eye-catching. She looked like a typical little girl in China. The boss looked at her with a smile. As the owner of a shop at the corner of the street, she remembered all the residents on this street, and there was no such child in Chinatown.

"Selling." Her hands kept moving, still skillfully stuffing the wonton wrappers with meat filling.

"That……"

"It's by the pound, 20 yuan per pound." She pulled a plastic bag from the side. "How much do you want?"

It was a familiar scene. Liu Shu tiptoed, "Dollars?"

"No, the dollar is another price."

"?"

The boss saw her confusion and made the number three with her fingers.

Got it, it’s based on the exchange rate.

Finally, Liu Shu caught up with Winnie with a bag of wontons.

"Is this delicious?" Winnie asked, taking a bite of the candied haws that she had been holding for quite some time.

“It’s generally not bad.”

"Are you so unconfident?"

"It's rigorous." After all, she hadn't tasted it yet.

"Okay, okay, how about this," Winnie shook the candied haws in her hand, "how about it?"

"Delicious." The combination of sugar and fruit couldn't possibly be unpalatable. Liu Shu's eyes were on Tina, who was struggling with the food in her hand. As a child, she couldn't bite off the whole hawthorn in one bite, which made her look a little embarrassed.

Tina narrowed her eyes and smiled sheepishly.

As her elder sister, Winnie not only did not help her, but raised her mobile phone to take an ugly photo of her.

"us……"

"Let's go to the hospital later?"

These words made Liu Shu look up and she looked at the person who spoke.

"I heard that Detective Sherlock Holmes and his assistant were injured," Winnie raised her hand to her ear and whispered, "We must go visit them. Tina's matter is thanks to them."

"So suddenly?"

"Really? We were planning to go there today."

"Then why don't you play it out?"

"I'm playing."

"Okay." This was convenient for Liu Shu, as she had wanted to go see those two people for a long time.

"I don't know where that detective lives." After getting in her own car, Winnie closed her eyes and relaxed.

"Aren't we heading to where they live now?" Liu Shu looked out the window. She knew that hospital.

"No, I'm not talking about the hospital. I'm talking about where they're staying in Gotham. I couldn't find out about it. I only found out the name of the hospital from the news because they were injured this time."

"..."Is Sherlock and the others' residence a secret?

Liu Shu didn't say much. If they didn't reveal anything, they must have their own ideas, so it's better to keep it secret.

"I don't know if I can see him." Winnie said to herself. She didn't know that the person next to her and the British detective had become so familiar with each other.

"uncertain?"

"Yes, the media will definitely be desperate to get into the ward. If they refuse all visits, we can only send them a bouquet of flowers."

"Isn't she here?" Liu Shu looked at her sister. For the sake of the child, the nurse should notify Sherlock.

Then Sherlock ignored it, and then Watson agreed to meet.

Liu Shu did not verify her guess. Relying on her contact information, she chose to go through the vvvip channel.

"Are these the flowers you were going to give?"

After getting off the car, Liu Shu stood on the side of the road and watched the driver take out a bunch of sunflowers from the trunk.

"It looks great, doesn't it?"

"Hmm." Sunflowers were also a frequent visitor to the hospital, so that wasn't surprising. What was strange was the mature sunflowers that were inserted at the back of the bouquet for aesthetic reasons. Liu Shu raised his hand and touched the raw sunflower seeds on the flower disk. "Can these be eaten?"

"Huh? I don't know."

Perhaps it was overripe, a sunflower seed fell into Liu Shu's palm. She looked up at the flower, then looked at the familiar snack in her hand.

Rather than letting it spend its life neglected in the ward, it would be better for her to fry it into spiced sunflower seeds and eat it.

"Do you like sunflowers? I have quite a few in my greenhouse." Winnie put the flowers in Tina's arms. Holding the blooming sunflowers, Tina's entire upper body was blocked by it, leaving only her feet exposed. From a distance, she looked like a bunch of flowers that had learned to walk.

"Did you plant it?" Liu Shu thought of the plants in Wayne Manor. They were living well before a certain child appeared.

"Of course, don't you think this is different from what's on the market?"

"I haven't studied this." To be honest, if the sunflower's appearance wasn't so obvious, she wouldn't have recognized it. For people who haven't studied flowers, many flowers are only different in color.

"Well, these are the flowers she and I arranged ourselves," Winnie patted her sister's head, "I have to praise them, right?"

"It looks great," Liu Shu looked towards the hospital gate, "There's one thing I don't understand."

"Um?"

"Why grow sunflowers?" Sunflowers in winter can only survive in a greenhouse. Although her family may not be short of this little money, it is still a bit rare. According to common sense, flowers like roses are more suitable for them, right?

Liu Shu saw his classmate raise his hand to smooth his hair. Winnie smiled a little unnaturally, "Well..."

"Actually, there are many other flowers, but sunflowers..."

"Many of the partners our family knows don't like scents. In Gotham, it's easy to get injured and hospitalized. If you want to visit, sunflowers are perfect."

What a magical reason! Liu Shu nodded. It was not difficult to understand. Seeing sunflowers would remind people of beautiful things like sunshine. It would also be a comfort for people in the hospital.

"I only planted a few at first," Winnie said with a hint of helplessness in her voice, "and then half of the greenhouse was covered with sunflowers."

"Can I buy it? Sunflowers." The advancement of technology has made many flowers no longer restricted by seasons. Liu Shu tilted her head. She had seen it when she was looking up information about this place online. Many flowers in Gotham were shipped from Metropolis. There is good sunshine and plenty of rain there, and it seems that plants can survive as long as they are planted.

"They have such good eyesight, I don't want to offend anyone." Winnie put a hand on Tina's shoulder and walked forward.

"Indeed." If the flowers given to them at first were flowers grown by their family, and then they were changed to ordinary ones... Liu Shu looked at the sunflower seeds in his hand. Instead of thinking about the complicated relationship between the Gotham aristocracy, he might as well think about the four ways to fry the sunflower seeds.

Liu Shu actually didn't know how to fry melon seeds, nor did she know how many ways to fry them there were. When they were brought to the ward by the nurse, she had already assumed that the sunflowers belonged to her.

"Excuse me." Winnie knocked on the door politely.

"Come in."

When he saw Sherlock in plaster, Liu Shu couldn't help but turn his head and look out the window.

"?" Sherlock sat up, looked at Liu Shu for a while, then looked down at his legs.

"you……"

"Thank you for coming to visit." Watson walked to the end of the bed and blocked Sherlock.

"You're welcome." Liu Shu said without hesitation. As long as they were still alive, that was enough.
