Chapter 216: The Divine Gift Cannot Be Wasted
Holding the strawberries in his arms, Zhang Dayi was so excited that he couldn't express it in words.
"Young General, this... I have only done my humble part. How can I be worthy of accepting such a generous gift from the gods?" Hanlin felt that what he had done was not worth mentioning, and he felt ashamed and unworthy.
However, it was a rare gift from God, so he was very happy.
This complicated feeling made it difficult for him to calm down, and he couldn't help but blurt out humble words.
"Sir, you are too kind. In the current situation, it is very rare to make a map. If it were not for your vast knowledge and profound experience, even if the family god asked me, I would not be able to fulfill my wish. Sir, you deserve the honor for this righteous act." Xie Yuchuan said with a faint smile.
"That's right! Sir, you are very knowledgeable and there is no need to be too modest." Xie Wuying on the side followed closely and agreed.
After saying that, her eyes were glued to the box of strawberries in Zhang Dayi's arms, unable to move her gaze away.
Someone touched his elbow lightly. Xie Wuying turned his head and saw Xie Wenjie using his elbow to remind him to pay attention to his manners. He couldn't help but chuckle and blinked silently, moving his impolite gaze away from Zhang Dayi's arms.
He turned his head and whispered into his brother's shoulder, "Why are all the gifts from the household gods so magical?"
Xie Wenjie smiled and said nothing.
How can something from outer space be like something from the mortal world?
In fact, it is no wonder that He Zhi is curious. Even he, who has always been self-restrained and steady, became excited and could hardly suppress his curiosity after taking a look at the box of naked fruits called "Strawberries".
Having just had a delicious breakfast fed by the household god this morning, how could his mouth not be watering when he saw this holy fruit?
Tu Huan was sitting on the sofa, studying the map of Laos drawn by Zhang Dayi in confusion. She had never expected that the box of strawberries she casually fed would cause such a strong reaction on the other side.
Comrade Zhang Hanlin, in particular, held a box of holy fruit awarded by the gods, as if he owned the whole world. He felt as if he had been stamped and certified by fate and had found a certain home.
What made Zhang Dayi inexplicably excited was that the oracle relayed by Xie Yuchuan specifically stated that this box of holy fruit was given to him alone!
Ah, this, this, this...
He tried very hard, but still couldn't suppress the slight excitement rising in his heart.
When I look back on the books I have read and the words I have heard, I am glad that it was not in vain.
Although he was happy, even though Xie Yuchuan repeatedly stated that this fresh fruit was indeed given to him by the family god himself, Zhang Dayi would never take credit for it and accept it all.
Who wouldn't be happy to receive a reward? Especially a gift from the gods. Isn't it more fulfilling than a gift from the emperor?
Sharing happiness with others is worse than enjoying it alone. Zhang Dayi ignored Xie Yuchuan's advice and insisted on sharing the box of strawberries, which were said to be unable to be stored for long, with everyone in the Xie family to enjoy together.
Zhang Dayi knew very well how much care he and his mother had received from the Xie family since they were exiled.
What's more, in the early morning scene when the gods clearly fed them, the Xie family gods did not exclude them, mother and son. This must be because Xie Yuchuan was not shy with them. How could the old Hanlin not know the affection therein?
The holy fruit is precious, and friendship is priceless.
Zhang Dayi gave Xie Yuchuan another box of strawberries as a gift, and said solemnly, "Major General, please let me distribute some to everyone to enjoy."
Xie Yuchuan lowered his head, then raised it again: "Sir?"
Zhang Dayi was very open-minded. "It was the opportunity given to me by the Major General and the Xie family that made me realize that there are always better things. Since sacred items cannot last forever, why not share them? Isn't that the greatest joy in life?"
Xie Yuchuan smiled and nodded, and distributed the strawberries to everyone as Zhang Dayi wished.
Zhang Dayi couldn't help but marvel at the transparent packaging box of strawberries. Even after Xie Yuchuan found a gap to open it, he was so curious that he started to twist it a few times.
"This thing is unbreakable, thin and hard, and can be said to be of the best quality!" Zhang Dayi liked it very much.
Xie Yuchuan and his brothers had some experience with the magical things sent by the family gods, so their expressions were relatively calm. The things hidden in the basket were even more eye-catching than this transparent packaging box, so it was not easy to show it to others.
Tu Huan brought back strawberries from the supermarket. When buying them, she picked only the sweet and big ones. They were really fresh, but there were only 15 in a full box!
There are twenty-seven people in the Xie and Zhang families together, which is not enough to go around.
Zhang Dayi felt that one was just right for two people.
Xie Yuchuan did not agree and asked Xie Wuying to find an opaque paper bag that could be sealed freely, put the six largest and best ones in it, and give it to Zhang Dayi.
The rest could be shared among the Xie family members, and that was the best thing to do.
Zhang Dayi couldn't refuse, so he accepted the six strawberries and excitedly gave them to his mother to taste. He only held one in his palm.
Soon, word spread among the Xie family members, and the news spread secretly that fresh strawberries fed by the family god were quietly passed into everyone's sleeves. Except for Mrs. Xie and Xie Jiarui, one old and one young, who each got one, the rest of the people ate one together in groups of three or four.
Even so, everyone was very happy.
Fresh fruit that had never been seen before was already rare, let alone in this season! Where else could such delicious things grow under the winter snow? Perhaps only in the blessed land of Futian Cave, the Xie family thought.
Such good stuff, no one is willing to eat it.
Clearly, there was a delicious delicacy hidden under his sleeves, but everyone's eyes met in the air and no one opened their mouths.
Zhang Dayi thought for a moment and then asked what everyone else was thinking: "I wonder...how long can strawberries be kept?"
Xie Yuchuan pondered for a moment, then concentrated on asking a question to another distant time and space.
On the sofa, Tu Huan studied the map drawn by Zhang Dayi for a long time, but was still confused.
It's really not her fault. After being used to seeing modern, precise and detailed maps, it's really a bit of a technical barrier for her to figure out the specific terrain, location and territory of Laos from these simple lines.
She turned on her phone and took a picture of the map to save it.
Then I looked up online how to understand ancient map markings. Just as I was studying how the ancients generally used lines and graphics to represent mountains, rivers, etc., a message from Xie Yuchuan was pushed from the top of the screen.
Tu Huan:?
"Xie Yuchuan: ...I wonder how long can strawberries be stored?"
Tu Huan was stunned for three seconds and asked:
"You haven't eaten yet?"
Xie Yuchuan was slightly embarrassed when he heard the voice. Zhang Dayi, who was standing beside him, noticed his strange expression and asked quietly, "What's going on?"
Xie Yuchuan shook his head and was about to answer when the voice of the family god sounded in his ears again.
“Strawberries don’t last long. Eat them while they’re fresh. They only get worse the longer they sit.”
Xie Yuchuan truthfully relayed the reminder from the family god, but when Zhang Dayi heard it, it had a different meaning.
The holy item is delicate and precious. If it is delayed for a moment, its spiritual energy will decrease sharply.
Hanlin thought to himself that the gift from the gods should not be wasted.
Open your mouth and bite off half of it!
Zhang Dayi: ………
Zhang Dayi: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A sweetness that I have never experienced before hits my soul directly.
Oh my god!
What a divine delicacy this is!
So delicious! So delicious! So delicious!
He had never eaten any fruit that was so delicious!
