Chapter 367 Poor Silly Brother
Xiao Jingran nodded: "Yes, it was planted last night, and it grew early this morning."
Actually, this speed is quite fast.
I thought it would be fast if it could sprout on the second day, but I didn't expect it to produce fruit so quickly.
Prince: "Didn't you ever doubt it? You planted lollipops, but what grew out were cakes."
Xiao Jingran blinked his big eyes: "I have thought about this problem. Sister Zheng said that some seeds will grow different fruits. Maybe this seed can grow lollipops or snacks. It's just that the snacks grew first."
Prince: (～￣▽￣)～
Is this okay? ?
Some seeds will indeed grow into different fruits, but what County Lady Yinghua was referring to should be the size and shape of the fruits.
And this is not the same thing at all!!
Ran Er believes that lollipops can be grown from lollipops, but why do you think that lollipops can be grown from snacks? ? ! !
Who on earth instilled such strange ideas in him?
The prince took a deep breath and said, "Then do you still want to wait for it to grow a lollipop?"
When the prince heard Xiao Jingran say that he found snacks on the ground, he guessed that someone must have put them there on purpose.
As for why it was not buried in the soil but placed on the ground.
Probably because any normal person knows that food cannot be eaten if it is buried in the soil.
Xiao Jingran shook his head, his tone somewhat disappointed: "All those seeds are gone, it should only grow this time."
The prince was stunned: "The seeds are gone? What does that mean?"
Xiao Jingran: "All the lollipops I buried in the soil are gone."
What a shame, he wanted to see what the lollipop tree looked like.
Prince: ...
He thought about it and lowered his voice.
"Ran'er, are you sure all the lollipops buried in the ground are gone?"
Xiao Jingran nodded firmly: "Yes, I had someone dig up that piece, and there was nothing inside."
However, he planned to visit it every day after he returned.
In case there are no seeds, you can still grow some food.
If it really grows out, he will definitely tell Sister Zheng.
My father said that Zheng Zheng is now an official and is mainly responsible for growing fruits and vegetables.
Anyway, growing fruits and vegetables is the same as growing snacks.
Telling this good news to Sister Zheng should be helpful to her.
Prince: (_")
Although no one knows who took the lollipop, the only ones who dared to do this in Prince An’s Mansion were Prince An and Princess An.
I guess in their opinion, they were exchanging snacks with Ran'er for a lollipop.
The prince touched Xiao Jingran's head with pity, his poor silly brother.
You'd better be more careful in the future, otherwise you might be cheated by others.
It would be fine if it was just for food, but you can't cheat for anything else.
Xiao Jingran tilted his head: “Brother Crown Prince, why are you touching my head?”
Prince: "…Because Ran'er is cute."
Looking at Xiao Jingran's innocent look, the prince couldn't bear to expose the truth behind it.
If he knew the truth, Xiao Jingran would probably be very sad.
Well, let him, as the older brother, protect his younger brother's childhood.
Xiao Jingran: "Father and mother often praise Ran'er for being cute."
The prince nodded and gave an awkward yet polite smile.
As long as you are happy.
"Brother Prince, I brought some specially for you."
Xiao Jingran looked around, then took out an oil-paper bag mysteriously, with an expression as if he was offering a treasure.
The prince looked at the oil-paper bag handed to him with mixed feelings.
I feel touched, helpless, and...can't bear it.
Xiao Jingran looked at the prince expectantly: "Try it quickly, this is planted by Ran'er himself."
This is the result of his labor, so it is naturally different from other snacks and must be distributed well.
Xiao Jingran divided the snacks into six portions, one for the prince and one for Shen Huazheng.
I kept four portions for myself, and gave some to my father and mother.
The prince took the oil paper package from Xiao Jingran and slowly opened it, revealing the snow-white and delicate pastries inside. A faint fragrance immediately emanated from it.
He held back his laughter. It turned out that there were glutinous rice balls inside. No wonder it was placed on the ground.
If it is really buried in the soil, even if it is wrapped in oil paper, it will probably suffocate.
Xiao Jingran's eyes were bright: "Brother Crown Prince, how about you try it?"
In fact, he had secretly tasted one before coming.
It's filled with fruit and is delicious.
"good."
The prince smelled the sweet aroma at his nose, picked up a glutinous rice cake and brought it to his mouth.
When you take a bite, your teeth first feel the softness and elasticity of the glutinous rice skin.
It is sweet, soft and chewy yet resilient, and its delicate texture slides gently across the tip of your tongue like silk.
When I ate more, I bit into the filling inside.
This glutinous rice ball is filled with fruit bean paste, filled with sweet and sour berries and delicate and dense bean paste.
Berries have a special fragrance. When you take a bite, the sweet and sour juice gushes out, and your mouth is immediately filled with fruity aroma and fragrance.
The red bean paste is sweet but not greasy and melts in your mouth.
As you chew, the soft, chewy texture of the skin, the crispy and tender flesh, and the delicate and smooth bean paste form a sharp contrast.
The sour and sweet taste of berries and the fragrant sweet bean paste intertwine in the mouth, like a carnival for the taste buds.
With every bite, you can feel the various aromas lingering between your lips and teeth, showing wonderful beauty on the tip of your tongue.
People can't help but indulge in this wonderful taste experience and linger on.
It was the first time for the prince to taste glutinous rice balls with fruit filling. After he swallowed the glutinous rice balls in his mouth, he could still smell the fruity fragrance between his lips and teeth.
He was stunned. He always thought that berries were too sour and tasted bad, but he never expected that when made into glutinous rice cake filling with red bean paste, they would be so delicious.
It can even be said that the presence of berries is the finishing touch of this glutinous rice ball.
The aroma of berries adds a fresh flavor to the whole taste of glutinous rice balls, making people feel as if they are surrounded by fruity fragrance while tasting them.
It’s like being in an orchard in midsummer, feeling the beauty of nature.
A smile appeared in the prince's eyes: "Thank you for the New Year's gift, Ran'er. Prince brother likes it very much."
Just for this affection, he would protect Raner and make her worry-free in this life no matter what.
Let Raner live happily and heartlessly like this forever.
Xiao Jingran also grinned: "What does the prince plan to give me as a return gift?"
Since the prince likes this gift, I will definitely give him something better.
Hehehe~~~
Prince: ━━(￣ー￣*|||━━
I really shouldn't be too moved.
I forgot that this little brother is cute, but he has some irritating qualities.
"Come to my place later. Father gave me a lot of gifts yesterday. If you like anything, just take it."
Xiao Jingran cheered: "Brother Crown Prince is the best."
Since it was a reward from the Emperor’s uncle, it must be a good thing.
He will have to choose carefully later.
The prince smiled and then carefully wrapped the remaining glutinous rice balls.
These glutinous rice balls are so delicious that I have to go back and make a pot of good tea to slowly savor them.
The prince quickly took Xiao Jingran's hand and returned to the front hall, sitting obediently beside his elder.
The Queen Mother held the teacup with a smile on her face, looked at Emperor Jingning and Prince An who were talking, and then looked at Xiao Jingran who was muttering something to the Crown Prince.
She blew on the tea and took a sip.
It turns out that when people get older, they like to be lively.
Especially during the Chinese New Year, when the children come, I always feel that the festive atmosphere is more present.
*
After eating a sumptuous breakfast, the Shen brothers and sisters took turns to wish their parents a happy new year.
Shen Zhaonian and Zhou had already prepared the New Year's money. After Shen Huazheng and his four siblings paid their New Year's greetings, each of them received two red envelopes.
In previous years, they gave purses, but this year Shen Zhaonian and Zhou gave red envelopes.
The red envelope was thin and contained what should be a banknote of unknown denomination.
Shen Keheng estimated in his mind that the New Year's money he would get this year should be more than in previous years.
No, it should be a lot more than in previous years.
He came to Shen Kesi and lowered his voice: “Second brother, why do you think our parents gave us silver notes this year?”
Could it be that the family has some extra income, so the parents are so generous? ?
Shen Kesi: "Of course it's not because of you."
Chen Keheng: ???
Why are you speaking so harshly on New Year's Day?
Wait, second brother wasn’t talking about him.
That's because of others.
Shen Keheng seemed to realize something and looked at Shen Huazheng who was talking to Zhou over there.
Could it be that their parents gave them more New Year's money because of Zheng'er? ?
The more Shen Keheng thought about it, the more he felt it made sense. This must be the reason.
Before, Zheng'er was still childish and would ask her mother to save the money for her after she got it.
Now I can save money and make money.
I make a lot of money.
"Yes, Zheng'er can save money on her own now. So mom and dad plan to give her more money to save."
Shen Keheng squeezed the red envelope in his hand. This extra money was equivalent to the money Zheng'er earned for him.
He had to think carefully about what gift to give Zheng'er as a thank you.
Shen Kesi looked at Shen Keheng who was lost in thought and smiled imperceptibly.
As his younger brother, whatever he thinks is shown on his face.
But that's fine, he also wants to give Zheng'er a gift. Then they can choose together and have something to discuss.
