Mu Qingqing had a clear direction and quickly walked towards the young traffic policeman.
"Dadada" Mu Qingqing stood one meter in front of the traffic policeman and didn't move forward.
Because at this time, the young traffic policeman was commanding a car to stop and then doing a routine inspection.
During working hours, Mu Qingqing naturally couldn't go up and disturb him.
Carrying her bag, Mu Qingqing stood there and waited. About ten minutes later, the young traffic policeman finished his duty and walked to the side of the road to rest.
At this time, Mu Qingqing walked towards the traffic policeman again.
When she walked over, the young traffic policeman was drinking water. Seeing Mu Qingqing walking over, a trace of doubt appeared on his sweaty face.
In fact, he saw Mu Qingqing standing there just now. Although he was puzzled, he didn't have the intention to ask. After all, she might not be looking for him. But now it seemed that she was looking for him. The young traffic policeman then looked at Mu Qingqing with a puzzled look.
"Hello, my name is Mu Qingqing. I'm the granddaughter of the old man who picked up scraps." Mu Qingqing stood in front of the young traffic policeman and introduced herself at an arm's length.
However, Mu Qingqing's words made the traffic policeman's brows furrow even more.
The young traffic policeman looked up and down at Mu Qingqing. His eyes showed more disapproval and dissatisfaction, but he didn't say anything.
"It's like this. I'm the grandniece of the old man. I used to work abroad all year round and only recently returned to China." Mu Qingqing didn't get angry when she saw the traffic policeman's expression and explained gently.
"What's the matter?" The dissatisfaction on the young traffic policeman's face faded slightly and he asked.
"My grandfather is not in good health and has gone to Shanghai to recuperate. But because I sent him away in a hurry, he didn't have the time to say goodbye and thank you. So I want to thank you solemnly." Mu Qingqing didn't beat around the bush and said directly.
"You're welcome …" Before the young traffic policeman could finish his words, he was interrupted by Mu Qingqing's action.
Because after Mu Qingqing finished speaking, she bowed deeply to the young traffic policeman. Her back was bent at a 90-degree angle and her head was lowered. She looked very serious.
"Thank you for your help." Mu Qingqing thanked him sincerely.
"There's no need. Get up quickly. Anyone can take this bottle away," said the young policeman.
"Well, thank you for giving my grandpa such an opportunity." Mu Qingqing stood up and smiled at the young, tanned traffic policeman.
"Ahem, I have to go on duty. I'm sorry," the young traffic policeman said as he scratched his cheek in embarrassment.
"Then I won't bother you anymore. If you need anything, you can call me. I'm working in Chengdu recently." Mu Qingqing said and put her business card at the place where the young traffic policeman took the water just now.
This time, the young traffic policeman didn't say anything. He just nodded, then walked to his post and started his duty seriously again.
Mu Qingqing looked at the young traffic policeman's back and smiled. She didn't say anything and turned to leave.
In fact, the young traffic policeman didn't help much. He only collected plastic bottles from himself and his colleagues. He didn't help collect other bottles.
Firstly, as he said, these bottles would be taken away anyway. But he gave them to the grandpa willingly. Secondly, he didn't collect other bottles because it wouldn't affect the other sanitation workers who earned extra money.
It could be said that each took what he needed and gained something.
That's right. The sanitation workers who usually cleaned the streets would also pick up some waste that could be exchanged for money to supplement their meager salary.
Helping one person shouldn't harm the interests of another person.
On the other side, Mu Qingqing was very happy after she finished what she had set out to do. Even her footsteps on the way back were much lighter.
…
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was late May. At this time, Chengdu also became hot. The bright sun hung high in the light blue sky.
Yuan Zhou, who got up early for a jog, looked at the blue sky and muttered, "It's time to prepare some cool snacks."
For breakfast, Yuan Zhou chose the Flaming Noodles from Yibin. It was hot and spicy, but the taste was spicy, which increased one's appetite.
Since he had the idea of making cool snacks to stimulate the appetite, Yuan Zhou started to get busy after breakfast.
"Hua La", Yuan Zhou opened the cabinet door and started to take out the raw materials.
The system displayed, "This is Pseudo Physalis, also known as Crystal Starch Jelly. It's an annual herbaceous plant of the Solanaceae family. The main root is long and cone-shaped with fine fibrous roots … "
"Stop. I know this plant very well. After all, I'm also a native of Sichuan Province and have eaten it since I was a child. You don't need to introduce it to me." Yuan Zhou grinned and his voice sounded like he was gnashing his teeth.
After laughing, Yuan Zhou didn't want his worldview to be overturned by a tiny ice powder seed. Who knew that the system would tell him how he had cultivated this plant meticulously?
"Maybe you lived a much better childhood than I did." Yuan Zhou looked at the dark brown ice powder seeds in his hand and muttered to himself.
Luckily, the system was always a tactful little comrade. After Yuan Zhou stopped it, it didn't say anything more.
That's right. The dessert that Yuan Zhou prepared to provide at noon today was the hand-rubbed ice powder.
It couldn't be more suitable to relieve the summer heat. After a bowl of cold ice powder entered the stomach, it would cool down no matter how hot it was.
Especially with the sweet brown sugar water, it tasted like a bowl of soft ice cream on a hot summer day when the cicadas were chirping when they were little.
It made the memory of summer become both memorable and expectant at the same time.
"It's done. Have a bowl of it first to see if my craftsmanship has deteriorated." A smile appeared at the corner of Yuan Zhou's mouth. However, his hands didn't slow down and started to knead the ice powder carefully.
The small dark brown sesame-sized ice powder seeds were wrapped in a burlap bag. Yuan Zhou kneaded them in a regular pattern in the wooden basin filled with water skillfully.
"Hua La, Hua La", along with the kneading of Yuan Zhou, waves appeared one after another in the water and some transparent liquid slowly blended into the water.
With his head lowered, Yuan Zhou stood in front of the azure stone countertop and rubbed the ice powder seeds earnestly with both hands. As he made a lot, Yuan Zhou would change the ice powder seeds from time to time so that the ice powder in the wooden basin could solidify smoothly.
Kneading the ice powder seeds was a repetitive and boring task. However, the expression on Yuan Zhou's face was serious and meticulous.
After the ice powder in the basin was kneaded and put into a slightly bigger wooden bucket at the side to let it solidify, Yuan Zhou started to boil the brown sugar non-stop.
Yuan Zhou didn't use lime, toothpaste or alkali to help solidify when kneading the ice powder with his hands. Instead, he let it solidify naturally.
In this way, the ice powder wouldn't have any impurities when eaten and the original taste of the ice powder could be better tasted.
Without the coagulant, the time for the ice powder to solidify would be longer, about two to three hours. That was the reason why Yuan Zhou started to make it after the breakfast time ended. That way, it would be just in time for lunch time.
"Pa Da", Yuan Zhou threw a piece of brown sugar into the earthenware pot and started to boil it.
"Hua La, Hua La", when the brown sugar started to melt, Yuan Zhou, wearing a face mask, started to stir the dried sugarcane in the pot.
Every stir was done evenly and slowly. Meanwhile, Engineer Cheng watched him carefully at the side.
That's right. Engineer Cheng was taking notes at the side while watching and studying earnestly.
