Chapter 103 Come to the door

"What, ask lotus root? I want to ask my lady, you can wait." Chunhe turned around and went to find Qiao Qiao.

"Little girl, is it you?"

When Mr. He saw Qiao Qiao coming out, wasn’t that the little girl who sold fungus in the free market last year?

"Uncle?" Qiao Qiao also recognized her, just the purchasing manager who bought her four bags of dried fungus.

"It's really you. I haven't seen you for a year and I've grown a lot taller, little girl."

As if he met an acquaintance, the housekeeper was so happy that he wouldn't ask this way.

"Uncle, I heard you asked me where I bought this lotus root?"

Qiao Qiao was eating, but before she could take a few bites, she quickly asked the uncle to leave and leave.

"My old man is in poor health all year round, and this period has become even worse. I haven't eaten anything in a few days. Now, the unique fragrance of lotus roots in your house has come and made him smell it. If you want to eat it, I'll come over and ask where you bought it, so I can buy some."

Alas, you are another good foodie, your old man is so timid!

After hearing what Uncle He said, he helped him with four bags of black fungus, and he was the one who helped him repay his affection. Thinking of this, Qiao Qiao told the truth.

"It's not sold here. It was built by my village by myself. Uncle, let's do it. We are also an old acquaintance. Come with me."

Qiao Qiao led Butler He to the kitchen. As soon as he approached the kitchen, the fragrance was so fragrant that he didn't eat much for a few days, even he was so hungry that he wanted to eat.

Aunt Mu found a big bowl of sea, lotus root and pig trotter soup, and left a large bowl of sea, and put it in a food basket for Uncle He to take it back.

"Uncle He, please send it to your old master first and eat it first. Tell me which one it is. I will send you some raw lotus roots later."

Seeing Qiao Qiao's generous and easy-to-talk spirit, Uncle He was so grateful. After thanking her for her, he walked away with the bowl and said, "Little girl, don't bother. I'll come here later to get it myself. Don't I have to send you a bowl back."

"That's fine." Qiao Qiao never rushes to do something that is not troublesome.

After the person left, Qiao Qiao quickly picked up the bowl of lotus soup and ate it. Before the meal started, she tried a bowl in the kitchen first, and then served it seriously.

"Miss, please slow down and be hot."

Aunt Mu, who was busy cooking, was worried that her lady would be scalded when she looked at it.

"Aunt Mu, when the uncle comes back, you can just take him a small bundle of lotus roots away."

"OK."

This lady was kind-hearted and generous and easy to talk to. Aunt Mu knew about it shortly after she came. The lady didn't take good things seriously. The food she gave to those people last time was all good noodles.

She really didn't take this lotus root seriously. She planted it at home. When Qiao Qiao was about to forget about it, Uncle He helped his old man come to the door.

When a guest visited, Zhang Hongyu was inconvenient to show up. He went into the inner room to see Da Qiao's homework. Chen Geng received the reception in the main room.

Neighbors and neighbors, the old man came to the door in person, so he had to have a parent, and he could not just let his grandchildren make trouble.

"Old Master He, please wait."

Chen Geng came out of the main house to pick him up. His etiquette and style were clearly the old man in charge, and he was not as slutty as a bandit who usually played chess and cards with Mr. Zhang.

"Oh, it's Mr. Qiao, why do you want to welcome me personally? Thanks to your magical lotus root a few days ago, I was able to come down from the ground and I had to come to my door and thank you in person."

Mr. He said this long sentence so that his face was not blushing, his heart was not beating, and he was not like a person lying on the hospital bed.

"Old man, my surname is Chen, Qiao is my son-in-law's surname. Please sit down."

Mr. Chen helped the person to the seat and asked Aunt Mu to give him tea.

"Oh, it's Mr. Chen, I'm so respectful."

After saying that, the old man He glanced at Uncle He beside him. Uncle He was carrying a box with exquisite packaging in his other hand and handed it to Chen Geng.

"It's all neighbors, why do you bring gifts when visiting a door? You can't accept it."

Mr. Chen pushed him back, Uncle He brought him up and pushed him several times.

"You don't want to accept this, so what am I going to be? After eating your lotus root, I'm cured. I don't need to see the doctor. I haven't gotten out of bed for half a month. Now you look at it, my legs and feet are neat."

Mr. He said that, he stretched out his legs and slapped them twice. Look, they were very strong.

Chen Geng said nothing more. Since that's the case, let's accept it. Otherwise, it would be a bad feeling if he accepts the favors from others.

"I came to disturb you today. I mainly wanted to ask, in addition to being delicious, fragrant and fragrant, the lotus root planted in your home has something magical. I'm much more effective than taking medicine."

Mr. He took a sip of the tea brought by Aunt Mu, moistened his mouth and went straight to the topic today. Chen Geng told him that this was the little granddaughter and found out, and then asked Aunt Mu to call someone.

The little girl wearing a light blue dress and a pink and white face came into the house and bowed to Mr. He, then retreated to Chen Geng.

"Your granddaughter is really popular." After Mr. He said to Mr. Chen, he turned to Qiao Qiao, "Little girl, tell me, are there anything strange about this lotus root?"

Qiao Qiao started talking.

According to the fact that Jingtang lotus root can only grow in specific water quality soil, let’s talk about the taste first. The soup made of lotus root is rich in fragrance, lotus root powder is slightly glutinous and sticky, and leaves fragrance in the mouth and teeth. Then, it is known as the plant deer antler, and has medicinal effects such as nourishing qi and replenishing blood.

Drinking a bowl of lotus root soup or two will make your whole body feel comfortable and your energy will be completely different.

"No wonder, it is fragrant and has many benefits, which is much more useful than taking medicine. Mr. Chen, I'm so shameless and want a few more, can I?"

Not to mention, it’s really shameless. I ate a bundle and asked for it again. This is called thanking me? I’m going to ask for it again!

"Also, I pulled a lot from the village and came back."

Mr. Chen told Aunt Mu to tie another bundle of them. Now I can send them away. Let's go quickly and we still have to play cards.

Then the two old men praised and commented on a bundle of lotus roots. The old man of the He family reluctantly said goodbye and went home, and invited Mr. Chen to have time to have tea and chat.

After the person left, Zhang Hongyu came out and talked to Chen Geng about this old man of the He family. He Mingzhu, the only son of the old man of the old man, served as a small official in Shangjing. If he remembered correctly, he should be a minister of the Ministry of Rites. If Zhang Hongyu was there just now, he would definitely be recognized.

"Grandpa, Mr. Zhang, I'm going back to Xiaolou. You guys play cards well." Qiao Qiao turned around and left.

Mr. Chen shook his head at the background of his granddaughter and said to the child that the cards in his hand had been washed.

As soon as the sign was sent, someone knocked on it outside the gate. Fortunately, Aunt Mu ran in and out to open the door, otherwise the old man would not be angry.

"Aunt Mu, who is that?"

Mr. Chen asked outside loudly, and he wondered, it was not that Mr. He who just went out and turned back, we really had no acquaintances in Xilin Mansion City.

Aunt Mu walked in quickly and said to the two old men quietly, "The person who came said it was from the Zhao family's young master, would you please let it go?"
