Chapter 372 A Different Book
"Oh my! It's been a long time since I tasted such a fine wine!" Zheng Huaming couldn't help but sigh after taking a sip. His slightly narrowed eyes revealed his deep love and nostalgia for this wine.
"Who says it's not?" Mr. Qi at the side echoed, his face also filled with intoxication, "Back then, we could drink this wine from time to time. Now time flies, it's rare to have the opportunity to taste it again!"
At this moment, Zheng Huaming suddenly turned his gaze to Xiaocao'er, and said with a smile on his face: "Sister Xiaocao'er, do you have any stock of this wine? Can you give me another small jar? Hey, I'll take it home and let grandpa have a taste!" After saying that, he winked at Xiaocao'er mischievously.
"No problem, I'll prepare it later and you can bring it back to Mr. Zheng when you go back." Xiao Cao'er looked at Zheng Huaming with a sweet smile and winked at him playfully.
Qi Xingyun looked aside and saw that Xiao Cao'er's lively eyes seemed to be able to speak, and he couldn't help but feel fond of her.
At this moment, there was a slight noise coming from the kitchen, and then the cook laboriously carried out a bucket of steaming monk fruit flower tea.
He put the bucket on the table and said loudly to everyone, "Everyone, this is what our girl asked me to cook! She said that eating barbecue can easily cause internal heat, so she asked me to cook such a big bucket of monk fruit flower tea. You can enjoy it with the barbecue, and you don't have to worry about getting internal heat!"
Hearing this, Xiao Xing, who was standing by, immediately walked over quickly, picked up a pot of monk fruit flower tea with nimble hands and feet, and steadily brought it to Old Lady Yang. Then, he carefully filled a cup for everyone present.
Old Mrs. Yang took the cup and took a sip of the monk fruit flower tea in the cup. Instantly, a sweet taste spread in her mouth.
She couldn't help but drink a few more sips, a satisfied smile on her face, and praised: "Oh, my dear granddaughter, you are such a thoughtful child! Grandma wants to ask, how do you know that this monk fruit flower tea is not easy to get angry when eaten with barbecue?"
Xiao Cao'er smiled slightly and replied in a sweet voice: "Grandma, I read all this in a book."
She thought to herself that this knowledge did come from the books she had read in the bookstore in her previous life, but she naturally couldn't tell the truth here, so she just attributed it all to the books.
"That's right. This child has become more knowledgeable as she reads more!" Old Mrs. Yang looked at her granddaughter with a smile on her face. She did not hide her inner joy and pride, and kept praising her.
Then, she turned her gaze to Simao, and her friendly face suddenly became serious. She said with a little dissatisfaction: "Look at you, Simao. You have also studied for so many years, but why haven't you learned as many useful things as your sister? Could it be that the books your sister reads are not the same as what you read every day?"
Hearing what his grandmother said, Simao felt so wronged that he quickly explained, "Grandma, please don't wrongly accuse me! The books my sister reads are indeed different from the ones I usually use for study. She likes to read some random books that she got from nowhere, which contain all kinds of strange and bizarre contents. Most of the books I read are serious books related to the imperial examination."
At this time, Qi Xingyun, who had been listening quietly, couldn't help but interrupt and said, "I agree with what Simao said. Many of the books that Xiaocao reads are indeed travelogues, which are very different from the books that Simao and his friends use to prepare for the imperial examinations."
Master Qi nodded slightly after hearing this, expressing his agreement: "Yes, Xingyun is right. You know, travel notes often record in detail the unique customs and habits of each place, people's daily habits, and many novel and interesting things, etc. These contents are naturally very different from the books on the imperial examinations."
"Is that so?" Old Lady Yang cast her eyes towards Xiao Cao'er, her eyes revealing a hint of doubt and curiosity. She frowned slightly, as if she wanted to get a positive answer from Xiao Cao'er.
Xiao Cao nodded vigorously, and then said obediently: "Grandma, that's it! I usually read a lot of books, and the types are very diverse, and the knowledge involved is also varied!
If I see anything new, interesting or useful in the future, I will come to tell you as soon as possible! " After saying this, Xiao Cao'er's face was filled with a bright smile, and that smile was as bright and moving as a flower blooming in spring.
Hearing Xiaocao'er say this, Grandma Yang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. She gently waved her hand and replied with a little shyness: "Oh, my dear granddaughter, even if you tell me these things, I may not understand them. But it doesn't matter, I like to listen to you, even if it's just for listening." Then, Grandma Yang touched Xiaocao'er's head lovingly.
