Chapter 57
Li Yuezhu ran out of her room, holding a plate in her hand. When Chen Jiuying came in just now, she was setting the plate and had not had time to take it to the living room.
This morning she bought a lot of dried fruit preserves and some apples from the shopping system.
She has already inquired about it. In a month or two, the apples will be ripe. Now when she shows them out, she can only say that she bought some early-ripening apples. It will not raise any suspicion at all. Even if she does, they will only wonder why her apples are ripe.
The apples are so big and red.
Chen Jiuying was sitting in the living room, listening to her mother talking to Aunt Zhou. She never expected that such a powerful Li Yuezhu would have such a gentle mother.
"Come on, come on," Li Yuezhu shouted as he ran: "Xiaojiu, I guarantee you will like these things."
"Miss, I haven't seen anything before, so I don't believe it. What else can you come up with?"
Chen Jiuying looked at Li Yuezhu running in from outside, and immediately jumped to her feet, stretching her head to look at what she was holding.
When Mrs. Chen saw her daughter being so careless about her image, and seeing how cheerful the little girl from the Li family was, Mrs. Chen, who had always been very strict with Chen Jiuying after leaving home, stopped caring about her.
"Take a look, do you like it?"
Li Yuezhu brought a wooden tray with four bowls on it. Chen Jiuying stretched her head and saw that there were some rare items inside, some of which she had never seen before.
"Hey, little girl, didn't you say you just moved into the city? Where did you get so many good things?"
Chen Jiuying watched eagerly as Li Yuezhu took out two portions and divided them between her mother and Mrs. Chen.
Chen Jiuying immediately took a bowl and put it on her lap. She was very greedy when she saw the red and green colors in the bowl. She grabbed a few sweet ones and put them in her mouth. As soon as she put them in her mouth, her eyes lit up.
"Zhu'er, you are so mean. Where did this stuff come from? It's so delicious!"
Li Yuezhu took a look, raised his little head and said: "I got this thing with great difficulty. This is the only one. There is no semicolon."
"Then you have to tell me what I am eating. Don't let me eat it in a daze without knowing what it is!" Chen Jiuying pouted and said to Li Yuezhu.
"This bowl is candied fruit, the green one is dried kiwi, the red one is dried strawberries, and the yellow one is dried mango. I got these from a merchant I met by chance."
Chen Jiuying became more and more enthusiastic as she ate. She felt deeply regretful when Li Yuezhu said that she could not find the merchant.
Li Yuezhu watched Xiao Jiu eating happily. She picked up a red apple, stuffed it in her mouth, and took a big bite.
Although Chen Jiuying is usually carefree and doesn't follow the rules at home, she has never been as bold as Li Yuezhu, opening her mouth so wide. You know, her mother has taught her since she was a child that even when she laughs, she will be reserved like a woman.
Chen Jiuying put down the candied fruit in her hand, reached for a big apple, stuffed it in her mouth, and imitated Li Yuezhu and took a big bite. Hey, not to mention, this apple is really crispy and sweet.
"Well, I like your apples too. There must be somewhere to buy these apples." Chen Jiuying looked at Li Yuezhu like a curious child.
Li Yuezhu was unambiguous and directly gave her a place name and asked her to find it.
Mrs. Chen looked at the plate on the table. It was a pile of dried fruits. She really couldn't underestimate anyone. This bowl of dried fruits alone would cost at least one hundred taels of silver.
Let's just talk about this walnut. The yield is extremely low. Moreover, the walnut is not easy to peel. It has a hard shell on the outside and not much pulp inside.
Mrs. Chen picked up a walnut kernel. The walnut kernel looked very plump, and she knew it was a good product at first glance. Madam Chen had never seen such high-quality walnuts.
There are many kinds of dried fruits in this bowl. In addition to recognizing the walnut kernels, Mrs. Chen has also seen the hazelnuts. Seeing the hazelnuts reminds her of the imperial offerings that she ate when she accompanied Mr. Chen in the palace.
"Little girl Zhuer, there are a lot of good things here. Girl, come here and introduce them to Aunt Chen. What is the name of this crooked thing?"
Li Yuezhu was talking to Chen Jiuying when she heard Aunt Chen's call. She raised her head and looked slightly embarrassed. She thought the dried fruits she took out were very common. Aunt Chen knew that she had seen the world at a glance.
Yes, I don’t even know her...
"Aunt Chen, those are cashew nuts." Fortunately, Li Yuezhu stood up and walked to her mother's table: "The white ones with shells are called pistachios, and the ones with two pointed ends are called pecans."
Li Yuezhu pointed to the last thing and said, "You should have seen this before. It's the pumpkin seeds in the pumpkins we eat. If you fry them, it's this kind of food."
Chen Jiuying also gathered around curiously. She really underestimated this stinky girl Li Yuezhu. She originally thought that Li Yuezhu's family must be in trouble, and she could tell by looking at her clothes yesterday.
"Okay, you stinky girl, you have so many good things hidden at home, what else can you bring me here?" Chen Jiuying tasted the candied fruits and dried fruits. She simply loved the taste of them. She didn't know where the businessman bought them.
.
Seeing that both mother and son liked it very much, Li Yuezhu simply packed up all the things on the table and put them in Chen Jiuying's hands.
"Well, don't say I'm partial, I'll pack all the food in the house for you."
Chen Jiuying immediately held the baggage in her arms and smiled happily.
"I knew Zhu'er was the best. It's not in vain that I made you my friend. If you go to my place tomorrow, I will have many treasures to share with you." Chen Jiuying said very frankly.
Mrs. Chen shook her head and looked at her daughter. She saw that Li Yuezhu was also a kind person. It was better for her daughter to play with the group of ladies who didn't have a good family. That's not to say that those ladies from famous families were not good.
, but they are too stereotyped, as if they were carved from the same mold as her. How can this little girl be as smart, interesting, and lovable?
Li Yuezhu is also very happy today. This is the first friend she has made in ancient times, and she has been recognized by her parents. Li Yuezhu is happy and excited.
"Xiaojiu, sit here and wait, I'll get a baby to show you." After Li Yuezhu said to Chen Jiuying, he ran outside.
Back in the bedroom, Li Yuezhu immediately opened the shopping system. The dried fruits she bought today also cost her a lot of money. She had managed to save a little money in the past few days, but it was all spent today. Li Yuezhu frowned and looked at the only items in her account.
The remaining twenty-one dollars, if you say you don't feel bad, you'd be lying.
