As soon as the food was served, Ling Xue couldn't wait to pick up the stir-fried pork with green peppers with her chopsticks.
Shen Zhen was not in a hurry when he saw Ling Xue's impatient look. He had already arranged for the kitchen to taste the fruit. Although they could not stand the spicy taste, they were sure that the fruit was not poisonous.
This dish is very delicious. Ling Xue took a bite of the stir-fried pork with green pepper almost every time. Even though it was so spicy that she looked like she was eating it, she ate it desperately. Many beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
It seems that this kind of fruit is very much to the taste of this young lady, otherwise she would not have eaten it so happily.
Shen Zhen also tried to pick up some food with chopsticks. It was so spicy that he drank a few mouthfuls of soup and ate a few big mouthfuls of rice before the burning taste in his mouth could be stopped.
However, strangely, he actually wanted to take another bite. This dish really has magic!
"Isn't it delicious? This dish goes really well with rice!"
Ling Xue laughed when she saw Shen Zhen wanting to eat but not daring to, and finally picking up his chopsticks again and again. The charm of this rice-eating artifact cannot be underestimated!
"Yeah, now that I'm not tempted anymore, it really goes well with rice!"
After a few bites, Shen Zhen was completely hooked on this dish.
The two of them ate up the whole plate of food, taking turns taking bites, and both ordered an extra bowl of rice than usual.
The other dishes on the table were hardly touched. It was only Ling Xue who usually paid more attention to balanced nutrition that picked up a piece of vegetable with chopsticks. Shen Zhen also did not touch any of the dishes except those he ate at the beginning.
After a few days, the news that this foreign fruit was edible spread throughout the village.
Because this thing was specifically requested by Ling Xue, no one dared to steal it. Everyone just privately asked Shi Zhuangtou for a few seeds to take back and plant.
Every time a pepper turned red, he would pick a peach, for fear that someone would steal it away secretly.
After picking them, Xiao Taozi placed the peppers in a winnowing basket and dried them in the sun according to Ling Xue's method. The young master said that it is easy to preserve them.
Everyone in the village knew that Xiao Taozi had won the favor of the young master, and they all wanted to follow Xiao Taozi's lead and serve him.
Xiao Taozi didn't refuse, but she didn't agree either. She was just checking secretly. She would not introduce people with bad intentions to the young master.
Xiao Taozi was a bit stubborn. She had decided that Ling Xue was her master, and she wanted to give her the best. Although Ling Xue had told her that she didn't need anyone to serve her, Xiao Taozi still believed that Ling Xue couldn't be left alone. This was because Xiao Taozi had told Ling Xue several times, but unfortunately, Ling Xue refused every time.
Ling Xue's actions made Xiao Taozi believe that no one could replace her position. Look, only she, Xiao Taozi, could serve the young master, and no one else was qualified.
For this reason, I wonder how many people are jealous of her little peach!
The villagers said all kinds of things, but Xiao Taozi didn't take them to heart. As long as the young master asked her to follow him, no matter how much others said, it would be useless!
They picked what needed to be picked and collected what needed to be collected. Ling Xue and Shen Zhen quickly packed up all the harvests from the farm.
However, upon hearing that the fighting at the border was intense and it seemed that the border town could not hold on any longer, Ling Xue and Shen Zhen quickened their pace to collect supplies.
Ling Xue and Shen Zhen were very busy and really needed someone to take care of the household chores, so Xiao Taozi stood out and finally officially took up the job as a full-time employee.
But she was so happy that she seemed to have grown up and became more organized in her work.
