Chapter 1074 Bird's Nest
Now the Ministry of Finance called, actually they were asking about Lu Miao's opinion.
Asked if she should give her direct contact information to the cotton mill.
After Yu Hong explained the situation truthfully, she asked:
"Senior, should we give it to him?"
Lu Miao smiled faintly and asked:
"What do you think?"
Yu Hong said uncertainly:
"You won't give it to me?"
Then he analyzed:
"Work matters should be handled during working hours. If I give out my contact information, won't I be blocked at the door for every little thing in the future?"
Lu Miao nodded, poured a cup of scented tea and pushed it in front of Yu Hong along the glass table on the terrace:
"So that's how it's handled."
"ah?"
Yu Hong was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to understand what he meant. She hurriedly asked:
"Then Senior, what should we do next?"
It didn't seem appropriate to allow people from the cotton mill to stay and guard the Ministry of Finance.
Lu Miao naturally took this into consideration.
After taking a sip of tea, Lu Miao smiled calmly and said:
"It's not a big deal. Just rest up and enjoy the holiday today. We can deal with the rest after we get back to work in two days."
"This is."
Lu Miao was confident about this matter, so Yu Hong didn't ask any more questions.
While they were talking on the terrace, they heard footsteps coming from the stairs on one side.
Lu Miao glanced down and saw that it was Xu Xiangcao who was carrying something up. He turned around and called out to Minmin who was watching TV in the small living room:
"Minmin, come here."
"Aunt."
Minmin put down the remote control, put on her slippers, and came over from the sofa. "What's the matter?"
Just then, Xu Xiangcao also arrived on the second floor.
Lu Miao waved and asked Xu Xiangcao to put the tray on the table. She hugged Min Min and said:
"Take this and eat it."
There were two porcelain cups on the small tray. Lu Miao took one and placed it in front of him, while Lu Miao picked up the other and handed it to Minmin.
Minmin took the thing, stirred it with a small spoon and asked:
"Aunt, what is this?"
"This is bird's nest, a nourishing food. It was just sent from Guangzhou a few days ago. I had someone stew two cups of it. This portion is for you."
Children should not eat too nutritious food, but Minmin is an exception.
Minmin's health had been poor in the past, and Lu Miao wanted to slowly nurse her back to health. It was okay for her to occasionally eat some ginseng and deer antlers with the adults.
Minmin wondered if this swallow's nest was the same as the one under the eaves of her hometown.
If it is a thing, this swallow's nest doesn't look like mud, right?
Although she was confused, Minmin believed her aunt because she said it was a nutritional supplement.
Minmin nodded, took the small porcelain cup to the coffee table in the small living room, sat down and ate while watching TV.
Xu Xiangcao slowly moved towards the stairs.
During this time, Xu Xiangcao glanced sideways at the hazy figure behind the screen door of the small hall. Her eyes were complicated, and her envy and jealousy were almost unable to be concealed.
A small bowl of bird's nest requires five grams of dry bird's nest to be soaked before it can be stewed.
The price and value of bird's nests were something Lu Miao had unpacked that day, and Xu Xiangcao overheard Lu Miao talking about it with Tang Mei.
Just that thin piece of bird's nest weighing five grams costs fifteen yuan!
All in all, it costs three yuan per gram!
Such a precious thing, which required so much effort to handle, just ended up in the mouth of an outsider?
Xu Xiangcao felt as if she was being pricked by a needle.
Thinking of something, even though she had gone downstairs and could not see what was happening on the terrace, Xu Xiangcao still frowned and turned her gaze towards the direction of the terrace parasol.
It happened almost in an instant.
Lu Miao stirred the spoon and asked Yu Hong with a smile what her plans were for today's break.
While chatting, he lowered his head and took a mouthful of bird's nest, but he had no time to swallow it. The spoon in Lu Miao's hand fell back into the porcelain bowl, and he stood up, covering his mouth, and went into the house.
Yu Hong was startled and immediately stood up and shouted:
"senior?"
When I walked through the small hall, I saw Minmin with a frown on her face, struggling with the bird's nest in the porcelain bowl.
Lu Miao took a few steps back, knocked the spoon out of Minmin's hand, and then went into the bathroom to vomit everything out.
Overwhelmed by nausea, Lu Miao lay on the sink and retched, his eyes red from the discomfort and irritation.
The sensible Minmin followed her to the bathroom, patted her back to soothe her breath, and asked:
"Aunt, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Miao rinsed his mouth, quickly wiped his hands with a towel, and touched Minmin's head and said:
"Auntie, it's okay. Go watch TV. Don't eat the bird's nest on the table yet, okay?"
Minmin nodded, but still asked worriedly:
"Auntie, are you really okay? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Nothing, go quickly, ok?"
Lu Miao smiled faintly and pushed Minmin out of the bathroom.
She retched again in the bathroom and it took her a long time to recover.
When I walked out of the small hall and onto the terrace, Yu Hong was still standing there.
Yu Hong also wanted to go into the house to take a look, but when she saw the shiny marble floor tiles, she really didn't know where to start, so she didn't follow in.
Seeing Lu Miao coming out of the house with red eyes, Yu Hong hurried forward and asked:
"Senior, are you okay?"
Lu Miao smiled lightly and shook his head:
"I just asked you what your plans were for today, and told you to go out with us if you had nothing to do. Now that you're busy, I won't keep you any longer."
Patting Yu Hong, Lu Miao continued:
"Rest well at home these two days, we will be busy again in a few days."
Lu Miao said these words sincerely, but at this moment they also contained the intention of sending someone away.
The situation just happened suddenly, and Yu Hong was somewhat aware of it.
Thinking that she must have something important to deal with, Yu Hong understood and did not stay any longer.
After saying a few more words, Yu Hong bowed slightly to Lu Miao, then carried her things and went downstairs.
Lu Miao watched Yu Hong walk out of the inner courtyard, then turned his gaze and shouted to Xu Xiangcao below:
"Vanilla, come up here for a moment."
"Why!"
Xu Xiangcao wiped her wet hands from washing clothes on her body.
Looking up, Xu Xiangcao's eyes flickered slightly, and she took a step forward and walked up the stairs to the terrace.
"What's wrong, Miss Lu?"
Lu Miao sat under the parasol on the terrace, pointed at the small porcelain bowl of bird's nest on the small table and asked:
"How did you make this bird's nest?"
"ah?"
Xu Xiangcao was stunned for a moment, then blurted out:
"Just do as Sister Lu said. Soak it first, then tear it into small strips and stew it in water..."
"Yeah?"
Lu Miao used to eat bird's nests frequently.
Even though he had only taken a small spoonful, Lu Miao still noticed something was wrong.
If there is just a fishy smell, then it may be a problem with the bird's nest itself.
Of course, it may also be due to inadequate handling.
But if there is a fishy smell and a foreign object, it can only mean one thing.
This bird's nest has never been processed seriously at all.
Moreover, from a psychological perspective, when people use interjections such as "ah" and "ya" when communicating, they will reveal part of their psychological state.
