Chapter 209: Reluctance (seeking a monthly ticket)
Zhou Yansheng once again shoved Xiaoxiao's hand with disgust: "Drink it yourself. If you are really filial to uncle, you will give it to your uncle what you have never drunk."
Xiaoxiao understood this time, put down the soy milk in her hand, picked up the bottle of soy milk that was not open on the table, thought for a while and hugged it in her arms, looking at Zhou Yansheng with full of vigilance.
Zhou Yansheng: “…”
Xu Qiao was so happy, the little girl was very smart.
Zhou Yansheng reached out and pointed his smiley little forehead: "Like your sister, she is a heartless person!"
Unlike the people who were traveling happily in Sichuan Province, when Gu Chengchuan saw Zhou Yansheng's text message, Zhou Yansheng and others had already boarded the plane.
Gu Chengchuan called Zhou Yansheng and turned off the phone. He tried to call Xu Qiao again, but was not in the service area.
I felt heavy discomfort in my heart, and my mind kept flashing with the smiles of Zhou Yansheng and Xu Qiao.
For the first time in my life, I know what jealousy is.
After the morning training, everyone was resting in the shade, a soldier accidentally said: "There is no stall for Xu Qiao's breakfast stall today."
"Yes, we came back from the police in the middle of the night and thought about going to eat buns, but we ended up hanging a sign for breakfast and resting for a week."
"What happened?"
After the few people finished talking, they secretly looked at Gu Chengchuan with a stern face not far away.
The breakfast stall is open early. Every time I come back from the police at midnight and when I am sleepy and hungry, I go to the breakfast stall to solve my meal.
Xu Qiao would ask Xiao Cui and the others to prepare a pot of stewed broth to prevent them from meeting the soldiers who came back from the police.
Xu Qiao's buns are not seasoned with MSG and chicken essence, and the spices are not strong, highlighting the aroma of vegetables and meat, and have a home-like taste.
This makes these soldiers who cannot go home all year round love it and feel like they can eat it from the buns.
Gu Chengchuan felt even more upset when he listened to the soldiers' comments.
The little woman who smiled and said that she would always be with him and be his family seemed to have abandoned him.
Even the most important bun shop can be closed for a week!
I felt a breath in my heart, and I couldn't exhale, and I felt uncomfortable in my chest.
It’s obviously good that this is the best result for Xu Qiao. With him, he can’t give Xu Qiao anything!
I don’t even have normal company and I have to face the bad news that I can never come back.
Yes, this is the best!
Gu Chengchuan suppressed the depression in his heart, pressed his stopwatch and tightened his hands tightly, and his expression picked up the whistle and blew it...
Zhou Yansheng will not let himself down upon his home, nor will he let Zhou Xianhua be wronged, let alone Xu Qiao and Xiaoxiao.
So I booked the most expensive hotel on Chunxi Road, and he stayed with Zhou Xianhua, while Xu Qiao and Xiaoxiao stayed.
After wandering outside for a long time, Xiaoxiao fell asleep when he returned to the room.
Xu Qiao cleaned up and saw that it was still early, so she decided to go to the market to find spices.
According to the secret recipe given by Zhou Xianhua, there is a spice called Ding Lingcao, which has a strong and strong fragrance that Xu Qiao has never heard of or seen before.
I stopped a taxi after leaving the hotel and asked the master to take her to the city's largest seasoning wholesale market.
The market is a bit biased, and you can smell various spices from afar.
The richness is mixed together, making people feel dizzy.
Xu Qiao walked in the suffocating market, smelling the dizzy and strong fragrance, and searched each family and found that there was no one selling Ding Lingcao. A merchant recommended her to her: "These two things are similar, but Ding Lingcao has a stronger taste. However, if you mix the fragrance of hot pot, this Lingcao is enough. Just put such a grass in a large pot of hot pot ingredients. Too many can easily overturn the main thing."
Xu Qiao smelled the Lingxiang herbs, and the smell was indeed a scent that hit her nose. She was a little curious: "Ding Lingxiang is similar to this one, why didn't there sell Ding Lingxiang?"
"The growth environment of Lingxiang herbs is tolerant, and it can be grown anywhere, and it is easy to breed artificially. That Lingxiang herbs cannot be planted manually and grows in deep mountains and forests. It is very troublesome to pick. It is so hard and cannot be sold at a price. It just so happens that there are similar Lingxiang herbs instead, who is still working hard?"
Xu Qiao carefully observed the appearance of Lingxiangcao: "Does Ding Lingcao also look like this?"
The boss was quite patient: "It's almost the same, the leaves of Ding Lingcao are wider than this Lingxiang herb and have a stronger smell. You can smell this smell from afar."
Xu Qiao originally thought that she might use Lingxiang herbs instead of Ding Lingxiang, but now after hearing what the boss said, she made a decision in her heart, since Ding Lingxiang's growth environment is more picky than Lingxiang's.
That must be better than vanilla in terms of fragrance.
If she can’t find Ding Lingcao in the market, she will search in the mountains by herself.
"Boss, which mountain has this kind of Ding Lingcao?"
The boss was stunned for a moment: "Little girl, this spiritual herb has similar effects. If you have to find one, it will be available in the mountains around you."
Xu Qiao finally bought a pound of spiritual herbs and went back to the store for use. After thanking the boss, she went back to the hotel.
Zhou Yansheng stood in the hotel lobby with Xiaoxiao in his arms, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xu Qiao: "Why did you run away alone? If something happened, how could I explain to Lao Gu when I go back?"
Xu Qiaobai glanced at him: "No need to explain it to him. And I left a note, so I will go around the seasoning market."
Xiaoxiao rushed over and ran to her legs. When she woke up, she couldn't see Xu Qiao. She was so scared that she cried, afraid that Xu Qiao would throw her in this strange place.
Suddenly I smelled a strange smell, frowned and pushed Xu Qiao away, pinching his little nose.
Xu Qiao reacted and smiled and handed the fragrant spirit herb in her hand to Zhou Yansheng: "I bought some fragrant spirit herbs, and the taste was a bit intense."
Zhou Yansheng also frowned in disgust: "I bought it?"
Xu Qiao shook her head: "I decided to go to the mountains tomorrow. They all dislike the low value and the trouble of picking are so difficult that no one sells it."
Zhou Yansheng hooked a bag of fragrant spirit herbs with one finger and asked in some gossip: "Old Gu said that, is it worth it that you are still so kind to him?"
Xu Qiao smiled: "It's worth it."
Zhou Yansheng shrugged: "Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow."
When Zhou Xianhua heard this, he wanted to follow him into the mountain. Xu Qiao looked at Xiaoxiao in embarrassment: "Well, Xiaoxiao, too?"
Zhou Yansheng thought for a while: "You and Xiaoxiao stay."
Xu Qiao didn't want to stay, and she would be relieved only after she did it herself.
"Or why don't you stay with Xiaoxiao and I will go into the mountains with my master. Then we'll invite a local villager to take us with you."
Zhou Yansheng looked at Xiaoxiao. It was indeed inconvenient to take the little girl into the mountain. Moreover, the mountain was wet and hot, and there were many poisonous insects. He was sick and could only nod: "Okay, be careful with the little grandfather. Don't go to places that are too dangerous. If it really doesn't work, give the villagers more money and let them go into the mountain to pick them. You can wait at the foot of the mountain."
Xu Qiao can think about it, after all, it is a bit inconvenient for Zhou Xianhua to climb the mountain.
