Chapter 190 Melon Seed Candy
No, no.
Don't think like that.
Zhao Zhao once said, don’t compare yourself with others, you are the best.
Lang Ye's gaze suddenly became firm.
Yes, that’s right. If I listen to what you say, Zhao Zhao will definitely love me.
Don't let your imagination run wild.
Lang Ye was lost in thought when Bai Zhaoyan, carrying a hoe, came out and saw him. "Lang Ye, let's go out and plant the vegetables."
It is a good time to plant peppers, eggplants, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc.
"Okay, here I come."
Lang Ye came back to his senses instantly after hearing this, ran to her, took the hoe and put it on his shoulder, and held her hand with his other hand.
The two walked out of the yard side by side. The seedlings in the field had already grown. They just needed to cultivate the vegetable field, move the seedlings over, and water and fertilize them.
Bai Zhaoyan pulled out the weeds in the vegetable garden, Lang Ye moved all the vegetable seedlings over, turned the vegetable garden over, set up a bamboo rack next to the cucumber seedlings, and then went to fetch water.
Bai Zhaoyan threw the seedlings into the nest and thought it was a bad idea. He should have called Tong Xu to join them, so that it would be more convenient to water them.
Her hands were stained with wet mud, which was a bit sticky. She wiped a handful of it casually and leaned over when Lang Ye came back. "Lang Ye, help me see what this is."
"What?" Lang Ye believed it and moved closer, placing the bucket on the ground. The water rippled slightly, revealing a gourd ladle floating on the surface.
Bai Zhaoyan reached out with lightning speed and smeared the mud in his hand on his face. Then he quickly stepped back two steps, staring at his masterpiece intently, and then burst into laughter.
"Zhao Zhao!" Lang Ye nodded beside his chin, looked at the mud on his hands, and said in feigned anger: "That's too much! Stop right there and don't run away."
How could Bai Zhaoyan listen? He started running as fast as he could.
Lang Ye was tall and had long legs, so he quickly caught up with the man. He scraped the little bit of mud from his fingertips onto Bai Zhaoyan's face, "Let's get dirty together."
"Stop it, stop it, stop it." Bai Zhaoyan dodged desperately, but still couldn't escape Lang Ye's clutches.
"I am the leader of Qingyan after all. It would be so embarrassing if my tribesmen saw me like this."
Lang Ye put his arm around her waist to prevent her from moving. "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
He can make a fool of himself, but he won't let Zhao Zhao make a fool of himself.
"The water is still clean, wash your hands first."
The two of them were laughing and joking, their feet covered in mud. Their legs felt so heavy when they walked that they could hardly lift them.
Lang Ye washed Bai Zhaoyan's hands, carried her to the edge of the field, quickly watered the vegetable patch, and hung the wooden bucket on his hoe and carried it on his shoulder.
Bai Zhaoyan took off her shoes and walked barefoot on the ground, not caring about her shoes and handing them to Lang Ye.
I was having fun walking in front.
Lang Ye followed behind her, looking at her excited back, smiling silently and happily.
Being with Zhao Zhao, I am happy no matter what I do, even doing farm work is interesting.
Back in the yard, Tong Xu saw Bai Zhaoyan's muddy feet and exclaimed, "Bai Zhaoyan, why didn't you call me when you went out to play?"
"I'm not going out to play, I'm going to work," Bai Zhaoyan stood in the yard without going in, "Quick, quick, I'm going to wash my feet, please help me get a pair of shoes from the room."
"Oh, okay, I'll be right there."
Bai Zhaoyan walked to the edge of the yard to wash her feet. Lang Ye put the hoe and bucket under the corridor and went to change his shoes.
Tong Xu took the shoes and a towel and walked over to Bai Zhaoyan. He placed the shoes neatly at her feet and squatted down, holding the towel. "Hold me up, don't fall. I'll help you wipe your feet clean."
Seeing him like this, Bai Zhaoyan felt very embarrassed and was reluctant to stretch her legs.
Tong Xu looked up, confused, "Bai Zhaoyan?"
His eyes were filled with doubt, "Your feet are wet, and wearing shoes is uncomfortable."
Bai Zhaoyan knew of course, and reached out to pull the towel from his hand, "I'll do it myself."
Tong Xu blinked, but didn't say anything else. He stood up and held Bai Zhaoyan's waist to prevent her from falling.
Bai Zhaoyan quickly wiped his feet and put on his shoes, then turned to look towards the main hall. "Where are they? Are you home alone?"
"It's not just me, there's also Ye Zheng and Xuan Shuo." Tong Xu counted seriously. Ever since Bai Zhaoyan returned to Qingyan, he rarely went out to play with the kids in the tribe. He only wanted to play with her.
But she has her own things to do and can't always be with me.
Tong Xu wondered if he should find something to do in the tribe so that he wouldn't look like an idler.
But he seemed to know nothing and was still thinking.
Bai Zhaoyan nodded, and the two returned to the main room. Lang Ye made some scented tea and poured a cup for Bai Zhaoyan to cool.
The scented tea was very fragrant. Tong Xu added honey to his cup before pouring the tea in, so that the tea would become sweet.
He likes it very much.
Bai Zhaoyan saw him holding the teacup and drinking from it in small sips, his eyes slightly narrowed, looking extremely satisfied and comfortable, like a cat that had successfully stolen some fish.
"You like sweets?"
Tong Xu nodded repeatedly, "It's sweet, I like it."
Bai Zhaoyan thought of the melon seeds and sesame seeds stored in the cupboard, and an idea struck him. "Then let's make some melon seed candies."
I would also like it if I felt peaceful and happy.
"Peanut candy? How to make it?" Tong Xu tried to imagine it, but couldn't figure it out.
"Let's go now." Bai Zhaoyan became interested and started to work, taking Lang Ye and Tong Xu into the kitchen.
The melon seeds and sesame seeds were roasted. She instructed the two animals to peel them while she put the pot in to boil syrup.
Put sugar and water into the pot and boil, stirring constantly until the sugar liquid becomes viscous, then pour in osmanthus flowers, melon seeds, and sesame seeds and stir together with the syrup so that each ingredient is evenly coated with syrup.
Lang Ye spread a layer of oil on the clean chopping board, and Bai Zhaoyan poured the unformed melon seed candy on it and rolled it flat with a rolling pin.
When the candy had completely cooled down, Tong Xu couldn't wait to pull Bai Zhaoyan and asked her to cut a piece for him.
Bai Zhaoyan cut the melon seed candy into small pieces, picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth to stop him from chattering.
Then he divided the melon seed candy into several portions, some for the kids to eat, and some also to be sent to Yun Qian's family.
Tong Xu was amazed as he chewed the melon seed candy. The malt sugar mixed with the fragrance of sesame seeds and osmanthus enhanced the taste.
"This is really delicious, Bai Zhaoyan, you have to leave more for me." He pestered Bai Zhaoyan, watching her give away the limited melon seeds and candies, his eyes full of heartache.
Bai Zhaoyan tilted her head slightly to look at him. Tong Xu was holding half a piece of candy in his mouth and leaning slightly against her shoulder.
"I'll make you something else next time."
After hearing what Bai Zhaoyan said, Tong Xu suddenly didn't feel so bad anymore. It didn't matter if he ate it all, because she would make more for him anyway.
It’s good to have Bai Zhaoyan.
Tong Xu ate the candy, his mouth felt sweet and his heart felt even sweeter.
Lang Ye couldn't bear to see this, so he pushed the person away and took Bai Zhaoyan in his arms as if to claim the initiative. "Zhao Zhao, I want to eat too."
Bai Zhaoyan had no choice but to pick up the last piece of candy and put it behind her shoulder without even turning her head. Lang Ye held the melon seed candy in his mouth and kissed her fingertips.
