Chapter 083 The Traitor Among the Green Peppers
Hei Xia Zi watched Zhang Qiling walk past him without even looking at him, as if he didn't notice there was a living person lying on the ground. Finally, he couldn't help but speak.
"Dumb! Are we still good brothers? You saw me lying on the ground and you didn't even come to help me."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Qiling paused, turned around and said to Hei Xiazi seriously:
"no."
Unexpectedly, he would stop and answer seriously. Hei Xiazi was stunned for a moment, then looked at his footsteps getting farther and farther away, with grief and anger in his eyes.
"I didn't expect you, dumb man, to be so heartless. I used to be so kind to you. Now you have family and elders to support you. I, the blind man, have become a thing of the past, right? I think I see right through you..."
Before Hei Xia Zi could continue singing, reciting, acting and fighting, Zhang Qiling, who had gone into the kitchen to put down the other dishes, came over with two bags of vegetables, squatted in front of him, and took out a type of green pepper from each of the two plastic bags.
"Which one?"
I originally planned to make a large serving of green pepper and shredded pork fried rice to celebrate the success of Hei Xia Zi's bone-shrinking skills, but there were many kinds of peppers in the vegetable market. Zhang Qiling didn't like spicy food and had never bought peppers before, so he was overwhelmed by the choices.
He called back earlier because he saw too many kinds of peppers and didn't know which one to buy, but his phone ran out of battery halfway through the call, so he had to make the decision himself in the end.
In the past, when he ate whatever Hei Xia Zi cooked, he often ate shredded pork with green peppers, but the finished product served on the table was always cut into strips. He didn't even know what green peppers looked like.
Now it seems that there are long and thin, short, thick, big, small, round and shriveled ones. Apart from having a unified name called green pepper, their only similarity may be that they are all green... No, he seemed to have seen red and yellow ones as well.
Zhang Qiling fell into deep thought, thinking that green peppers were really strange things.
When Hei Xia Zi saw the two completely different and opposite-looking green peppers he took out of the bag, he sat up in shock, almost dying.
"No, Dumb, you are deliberately messing with me, aren't you?
You have a green bell pepper in your left hand and a chili pepper in your right hand. Are you serious about making fried rice with these two things?"
Hei Xia Zi just sat cross-legged on the ground, supporting his chin with one hand, frowning pretentiously, and looking at Zhang Qiling with disapproval.
First, he took the chili pepper from the other person's right hand, pinched the handle of the pepper, and pointed the tip of the pepper at Zhang Qiling.
"Dumb, do you know there's a saying that goes, 'What's concentrated is the essence?'"
The dark green chili pepper is only the size of a little finger, which is quite short and sturdy among the pepper species.
"Let me tell you, this stuff is really spicy. One of them can stain a whole dish and make it inedible.
Of course, that's for people like you who can't handle spicy food. I, a blind man, still really appreciate this little thing. Although it's a bit spicy, it's just a piece of cake for me. I can even eat it raw."
As he said that, Hei Xia Zi blew on the small chili pepper in his hand, not caring whether it was washed or not, and ate half of it raw in one bite.
Then Zhang Qiling saw Hei Xia Zi's face turn red instantly, and his lips trembled twice.
While grinning and making an uninhibited smile, he took a breath calmly, exhaled slowly, and finally made a standard toothy smile as if nothing had happened.
"See, there's absolutely no problem. It's a piece of cake! In one word - awesome!"
Hei Xiazi gave a thumbs up, but he secretly put the remaining half back into the bag.
Zhang Qiling nodded seriously and did not comment on Hei Xia Zi's behavior of being too concerned about his reputation and suffering in return. However, the pepper did look very spicy and he was determined not to eat it.
"Look at this again! The traitor among the green peppers! The most shameful existence among the peppers!"
Hei Xia Zi took the pepper again, tossed it up and down in his hand, pointed at the pepper with his other hand, and spoke with a look of disappointment.
"Don't be fooled by its large, round, smooth, and slippery appearance, but... it's sweet!"
Green pepper is also known as sweet pepper. Hei Xiazi has always stayed away from sweet things. As a salty person, he wishes to kick green pepper out of the ranks of green peppers.
Sweet?
Now even Zhang Qiling's eyes when looking at Cai Jiao were not right.
While Hei Xia Zi was giving Zhang Qiling some basic knowledge about green peppers, Xie Yuchen had already taken a bus back to the Xie family's old house.
As soon as Xie Yuchen stepped into the gate of the old house, the young man who had been guarding the door came up to him and told him that there was a guest looking for him.
I heard a weirdo come in and say he was looking for the head of the Jie family. When he heard that he was not there, he sat in the living room of the Jie family waiting for him.
I sat there for three hours straight, during which I drank six pots of the finest Biluochun, devoured three plates of Baiyun pastries, and went to the restroom four times...
Xie Yuchen's mouth twitched, he wanted to laugh but couldn't.
Who is this guy? What a talent!
How come I didn’t realize there were such stupid people around me?
Is he here to look for someone, or to get some tea and snacks?
When Xie Yuchen learned that this weirdo who seemed to be missing a brain was Wuxie, the first (and only) person of the third generation of the Wu family, his interest grew even more.
If he remembered correctly, they must have played together several times when they were young. He wondered if Wuxie still remembered him now.
With strong curiosity, Xie Yuchen did not choose to go to the back to change clothes first, but went directly to the living room wearing a light pink shirt embroidered with crabapples.
At this moment, Wuxie was struggling with the last piece of tea on the plate. He drank and poured out the tea in the cup, and didn't know how many cups he had drunk.
After drinking so much tea at once and having to go to the toilet several times, Wuxie felt like his urinary system was not working properly. He looked at the housekeeper with a gradually resentful look in his eyes.
The Xie family's housekeeper still had a polite smile on his face, as if he didn't notice Wuxie's resentful look at all. He was holding a teapot, eager to add water at any time.
Wuxie and the butler looked at each other tacitly, and at the same time showed false smiles, creating a tense atmosphere.
Xie Yuchen came in under such circumstances. Seeing his hard-working old butler staring at a young man, he couldn't help but chuckle, which earned him a reproachful look from the butler.
Xie Yuchen carefully examined the young man in front of him. Because the young man who had just tipped off the young man had heard of Wuxie's name, the more he looked at Wuxie, the more familiar and kind he felt. He immediately smiled gently and spoke loudly:
"Long time no see, Wuxie. Do you still remember me?"
Wuxie stood up subconsciously and first glanced at the butler who had lowered his head and looked submissive after Jie Yuchen came in.
From his attitude, I knew that the handsome young man in front of me might be the famous head of the Xie family.
