Chapter 178 Ending
Smelling the warm lotus fragrance and looking at Xiao Jinyi's back, Shen Shixu suddenly had a teasing idea in his mind.
He supported the boat with one hand, leaned out, and picked a lotus from the lake with the other hand.
This was the blooming lotus that he had carefully selected. He put his hand into the lake water and soaked it for a while, then took it out and shook some water droplets onto the lotus.
Then she stood up, walked behind Xiao Jinyi, stretched out her hand, and pinned a pink lotus on his ear when Xiao Jinyi was completely unprepared.
"Why don't you pick one for yourself? I think it will look better on you than on me. Do you want me to pick one for you?"
"OK!"
Seeing that he agreed, Xiao Jinyi stopped what he was doing and began to search the Lotus Lake.
Finally he found a lotus that he thought was very beautiful, a lotus bud about to bloom, but it was a little far away from him.
But this was not a problem. Xiao Jinyi lightly tapped the water with his toes and flew out in an instant.
Soon he came back walking on the water with a lotus in his hand.
Shen Shixu felt very refreshed listening to the sound of treading water. At this moment, he regretted that he thought it was too tiring and did not follow the martial arts master to learn light skills.
Otherwise, he could also show everyone what it means to float on water with light skills, just like Xiao Jinyi.
Xiao Jinyi put the lotus he picked on Shen Shixu's ear. Looking at Shen Shixu wearing the flower, for a moment, Xiao Jinyi didn't know how to describe it.
The saying "people are more beautiful than flowers" should be referring to Shen Shixu at this moment. Her fair skin exudes a jade-like radiance, her long black hair is draped over her shoulders, and the lotus flowers by her ears are the only decoration, giving her a feeling of a lotus emerging from water.
In addition, Shen Shixu has been reading for many years and has a scholarly aura. At this time, Shen Shixu is like a lotus in the academy, which has turned into a human form after a hundred years of nourishment from the aura of books.
It has the elegance of a lotus and the temperament of a scholarly person. In short, it is very beautiful.
"How is it? Does it look good?"
Shen Shixu touched the lotus beside his ear and asked the stunned Xiao Jinyi. He could clearly see Xiao Jinyi's psychological reaction from his expression, but Shen Shixu just wanted to hear him say it in person.
"It looks good. It looks especially good!"
When Shen Shixu heard his praise, he touched the lotus beside his ear and laughed, his laughter as sweet as a silver bell.
It was noon when we came back from swimming across the lake.
Shen Shixu and Xiao Jinyi returned to the inn for lunch. Following the waiter's introduction, they ordered the inn's specialty dishes and had lunch.
Shen Shixu remembered that when the aunt introduced it yesterday, she said that the Lin family in Zhenxi planted a lot of grapes, and they could go there to buy grapes and pick them by hand.
So after asking the waiter where the house was, he bought two bamboo baskets on the street and went to Lin's house.
There were not many people going to pick grapes. After hearing their purpose, the Lin family members collected two taels of silver and let them into the vineyard.
Shen Shixu exclaimed in admiration after entering. No wonder the aunt said that the Lin family's grapes were the best. As soon as he entered, he saw the abundant grapes.
The vines seemed a little overwhelmed. In addition to the amethyst-like grapes, there were also emerald green grapes like the glucose gourds he had eaten in the morning.
Shen Shixu cut a bunch of grapes with scissors, plucked one from the bunch, wiped it on his clothes, and then put it in his mouth.
Just as Baili Xi told him, the grapes burst into juice as soon as he bit them. He couldn't even imagine how delicious the juice would be if they were squeezed into juice.
"Mm, it's delicious! Do we have grapes planted on our farm? I want to give the grapes to Ronghua to see if he can research and develop some grape drinks."
“There are some grapes planted on the farm, but they are not ripe yet. It will take a few days.
If you are in a hurry, there is some wine stored in the house. You can try it when you get back. ”
When Shen Shixu heard the word wine, he shook his head, “I don’t like wine very much, I want to drink grape juice!”
When Xiao Jinyi heard about grape juice, an idea came to his mind: Isn’t it just turning grapes into juice? Isn’t this simple!
So Xiao Jinyi quickly cut off a dozen bunches of grapes with scissors, then went to buy a new basin that had never been used before, and then borrowed water from the Lin family to wash the grapes.
Then he picked the washed grapes one by one and put them into the newly bought basin. Then he used great force to make those round grapes burst.
Soon a layer of light purple juice accumulated at the bottom of the basin. Looking at the color, Xiao Jinyi always felt that this thing might not be very tasty. He went to Lin's house to find a cup and filtered the juice into the cup.
Then he frowned and took a sip. As he expected, it was not very tasty!
Shen Shixu saw him acting suspiciously while picking grapes. He didn't know what he was doing, so he followed him secretly and saw him making "grape juice".
“Although I don’t know how to make grape juice, it’s definitely wrong for you to do this. Everyone has their own expertise, so let’s not waste grapes here.
When we get back to the capital and look for Ronghua, he will definitely know what to do. ”
Xiao Jinyi decided to go to Ronghua for advice after he returned. He didn't believe that a mere grape juice could stump him.
The two men stopped worrying about the grape juice and soon picked two large baskets full of grapes.
Shen Shixu looked at the basket full of harvest and felt very satisfied. He would eat some today, some tomorrow, and have some left for the journey.
After picking the grapes, Shen Shixu and Xiao Jinyi didn't go anywhere else to play, but went back to rest for a while.
It was not until the next day that the two men came out. This time they wanted to experience the taste of iced watermelon.
We bought two watermelons at the stall, and each of us held one and went to play on the mountain with the well. There were quite a lot of people there.
But they were lucky, because when they went there, someone happened to take away the chilled fruits in the well, leaving an empty space for them.
The two men paid, put the watermelons in a basket, and then sent the basket to the well, and then all they had to do was wait.
While waiting to eat the iced watermelon, the two went climbing a mountain. It was called a mountain, but it was actually not very high.
Shen Shixu climbed to the top of the mountain in one breath and didn't feel tired at all. Although the mountain was not high, he could overlook the entire Chunfeng Town from the top of the mountain.
You can see the beautiful Lotus Lake, the bustling streets, and the Lin family’s fruitful orchard...
"It's so peaceful here! There are no intrigues, no complicated cases... There are only friendly neighbors who help each other and beautiful scenery. It would be great if I could live here forever."
Xiao Jinyi held his hand and said, "This place is nice, but it's not our home after all. The people we miss are not here. If you like it, just come here often in the future."
"Yeah! You're right. The most important home is the place where your heart can return to. The watermelon should be ready now, right? Let's finish eating the watermelon and go back quickly!"
Seeing that he was anxious, Xiao Jinyi took him down the mountain using his Qinggong skills.
The two men ate the watermelon and returned to the inn. After paying the bill, they got on the carriage and set off back to where they should go.
Shen Shixu pulled aside the curtain of the carriage and looked out. It was nice here, but there were more important things waiting for him.
Some people are waiting for him to redress their grievances, some are waiting for him to reunite with his family, and some are waiting for him to teach them...
In addition to these, there are still many melons in the capital waiting for him to eat!
