When they were about to go back to school to get the student handbook and the final exam results, Lan Xin finally came back! Lan Xin, who had been living in the countryside for a week, was tanned. She used to be a fair and chubby little girl, but now she had become … cough, cough, to save some face for Xin Er.
The first thing Lan Xin did when she came back was to find Xi Xi. Lan Zhou Kai and Wu Jingjing had just arrived home, but before they could pack their luggage, Lan Xin came to Xi Xi's house with difficulty, carrying a heavy bag of water chestnuts.
"Xi Xi, try this. It's super delicious! Hey, my relatives just picked it this morning. You have to eat it quickly! If it's left for too long, it won't taste good! " Lan Xin said anxiously when she saw Yang Yi put it on the table in the dining room after taking it for her.
Lanxin was very particular when it came to good food! If it weren't for the worry that it wouldn't taste good if it was left for too long, Lan Xin wouldn't have been so anxious to bring it over for Xi Xi to try. After all, it was so heavy that it took a lot of effort!
"It won't taste good if it's left for too long?" Xi Xi asked, puzzled. She felt that it was very strange. Apple, pear, and other fruits, weren't they still edible after being left for too long?
Lan Xin nodded her little head vigorously and said seriously, "Yes! When we were in our hometown, we took a boat to a very big lake to pick these! It's the best when it's just picked, but after it's left, it won't taste good anymore. It will turn black! "
Speaking of which, Lan Xin still had some regrets. She pouted her little mouth and said, "Xi Xi, you didn't go to play with me. Now it's a little black, but it's okay to eat it quickly! It's just that, just that, Xixi, if you go to my hometown with me, you can eat the most delicious water chestnuts! "
Xi Xi looked at her friend enviously. Of course, she wasn't envious of Lan Xin for having fresh water chestnuts to eat. Instead, she was envious of Lan Xin for being able to take a boat to "a big lake" to play.
"But, but my PaPa and Mom are not free … I also want to go and play!" Xi Xi's two small hands were tangled in front of her as she said with grievance.
Yang Yi had just turned around. Hearing their conversation, he shook his head and smiled. He didn't agree to let Xi Xi follow Lan Xin to the countryside to play because of this reason. Lanzhou Kai said that he wanted the children to see the big scene of water caltrop harvesting!
Although Lanzhou Kai usually trusted Yang Yi and didn't mind letting him take his daughter around the world, Yang Yi didn't trust Boss Lan! Or more accurately, he didn't trust the villagers in Lanzhou Kai's village.
Take a boat to a deep lake to play? Yang Yi didn't want his daughter to take this risk when she was out of his sight! He couldn't follow. If something happened, it would be too late for Yang Yi to rush over!
However, Yang Yi didn't say this in front of the children. Even when he told Lanzhou Kai about his worries, he didn't say it directly. Instead, he used a more tactful excuse.
"Xin Er is so thoughtful, sending the water caltrops over in such a hurry!" Yang Yi said with a smile. "But the water caltrops are actually not as delicious as stir-fried vegetables. We can stir-fry the water caltrops with chives or use streaky pork to make a very fragrant and delicious water caltrop braised pork with brown sauce! Fatty but not greasy braised pork with brown sauce. Once you bite into it, you'll be filled with the fragrance of meat … "
Actually, Yang Yi didn't really want the children to eat the water caltrops raw. This was because it was said that raw water caltrops, especially the surface, had parasites, so it was best to cook them before eating. This was also why after he received the water caltrops, he put them on the table in the dining room and didn't bring them to the coffee table for the little girls to peel and eat.
As Yang Yi described the deliciousness of the braised pork with brown sauce, he stole glances at Lan Xin. He was obviously doing this on purpose. "Of course, if it's not urgent, we can also make a water caltrop cake …"
Lan Xin's eyes were shining and her saliva was dripping. Finally, she couldn't hold it in anymore and said loudly, "I want to eat, I want to eat, I want to eat, I want to eat red water caltrop braised pork. Papa Yang, let's make red water caltrop braised pork with brown sauce, okay?"
Stir-Frying and whatnot, forget it! Besides, why hadn't she eaten red water caltrop braised pork with brown sauce in her hometown? Someone had stir-fried water caltrop with beef, but it wasn't delicious. Lan Xin was used to eating delicious food made by Papa Yang, so her mouth was already picky.
Yang Yi laughed and said, "Then Xin Er, you and Xi Xi can play at home first. This afternoon, we'll have lunch at our house!"
It was almost lunchtime. Lan Zhou Kai and the others probably just came back and didn't have time to cook. Yang Yi planned to call Lan Zhou Kai and Wu Jingjing over, but this matter didn't require Lan Xin to make the trip. Yang Yi could just call her later.
"Okay!" Lan Xin nodded her head excitedly.
…
The two little girls were playing downstairs. When Murphy saw this, she patted Tong Tong's butt and told him to go play with the two older sisters. She went into the kitchen and stood next to Yang Yi.
"Is this water caltrop? I've heard of it a few times, but this is the first time I've seen it! "Murphy said in amazement, like a curious baby.
"Really? You haven't seen it before? "Yang Yi asked with a smile.
He had forgotten that in the end, it was still his fault. Who asked Yang Yi to never buy water chestnuts to eat? In fact, in the market of Jiangcheng, water caltrops were a relatively common ingredient!
Murphy didn't care. She picked up a water caltrop and said with a smile, "Look at this water caltrop. Doesn't it look a bit like a cow's horn? And it looks especially like the horns of the African buffalo in the animal world! "
It didn't look like one now, but when it was dried and tanned, it would look even more like one!
Yang Yi smiled and said, "Are you trying to say that every time a water caltrop is produced, an African buffalo will lose its beloved horn? Please spread the word and let more people know that if there is no trade, there is no harm?"
Murphy nearly couldn't keep up with Yang Yi's train of thought. She was stunned for a long time before she reacted. She laughed so hard that tears were about to fall. She hammered Yang Yi's arm with her fist and giggled, "Wow, how are you so talented? You can even make up something like this! "
Then you don't know how much the netizens in the previous life were like!
Yang Yi was so proud that he even sang the classic "Picking Red Caltrops".
"The two of us rowed the boat, plucking red caltrops, plucking red caltrops, plucking red caltrops, plucking red caltrops, plucking red caltrops, plucking red caltrops, plucking red caltrops, plucking red caltrops, plucking red caltrops, plucking red caltrops, plucking red caltrops, plucking red caltrops, plucking red caltrops, plucking red caltrops …
This song was originally a duet between a man and a woman. Yang Yi pinched his throat and pretended to be a woman for a while, and then sang very boldly. He was like a young gentleman who was going to pick red caltrops with a girl! But under Yang Yi's superb control of singing, it was actually quite good!
Yang Yi sang while holding Murphy's waist, who was laughing so hard that she couldn't stand properly. Just like rowing a boat, he rocked, rocked …
The two of them flirted shamelessly in the kitchen. They didn't know that outside the kitchen, Xi Xi and Lan Xin had encountered a small problem.
