After crossing, I was miserable.

After Qian Yi finished his work, he thought Qian Duoduo would go to rest, so he wanted to take a look. However, when he was walking to another courtyard, he heard the servant say that Chu Yan was here, and another servant had already taken him in the direction of the second young master.

"Don't be anxious. My young master is discussing important matters with the second young master Qian. It is not convenient to disturb him now. Please wait outside the door for a moment." An Ba spread his arms and blocked the door.

Chunxia and Qiudong, one holding tea and the other holding fresh fruit, looked at each other and felt something was not right.

The eldest lady clearly wanted us to bring the fruit over quickly. She must be anxious for Master Chu to taste it.

After all, these fruits are indeed fresh and rare.

This is the correct way to entertain.

"Our Second Young Master ordered us to bring fresh fruits and newly arrived tea. He must have wanted to let Young Master Chu taste them earlier." Chun Xia said to An Ba.

She could tell that these were not ordinary servants. If they had any intentions, Chunxia would be ready to take action at any time.

"Yes, look, these are not common fruits, there are grapes, lychees, cherries, pomegranates, mulberries, these are the best fruits. You can't eat them normally."

Qiudong, who had been with Chunxia for a long time, vaguely felt that Chunxia was going to take action. In order not to make things worse, Qiudong spoke up in time and inadvertently stood in front of Chunxia and moved the fruit to the front.

An Ba was about to sneer and say that his master had seen all kinds of fruits, and he had also eaten several kinds of them.

But when he saw the maid put the fruit in front of him, his eyes lit up.

I don’t know whether his master has seen it or not, but he has definitely never seen it.

But I know about grapes and lychees, I just haven’t eaten them.

No, I haven't eaten any of these.

"Ahem, it's like this. Anything my master eats outside must be inspected by me. Only after it is confirmed to be non-toxic will it be allowed to be sent over."

He wasn't lying.

Previously, a villain wanted to poison his master, but his master was kind-hearted and accidentally gave food as a reward to his servants, so the master escaped the disaster.

The servant who was rewarded died on the spot with blood coming out of his eyes.

I didn't expect it to be such a vicious poison.

From then on, the master never ate outside again, even if there was a necessary dinner, he would go to Mr. Bai's restaurant.

Of course he knew that Mr. Qian II would not harm his son, but this was a necessary procedure and he was not abusing his power for personal gain.

Chunxia and Qiudong looked at each other helplessly again.

Chunqiu handed the fruit tray to Anba,

"Please help me take it. I'll cut off a few fruits for you."

Anba rubbed his hands together, then rubbed them on his clothes, then took the fruit tray very carefully.

In autumn and winter, I used small scissors to cut three grapes, two lychees, three cherries, and picked some pomegranates and mulberries, and placed them neatly in a small plate.

Then Anba couldn't wait to take it with one hand, and Qiudong quickly took the fruit tray with both hands.

An Ba just picked up a grape and looked at the plump green grape, feeling very curious.

I have seen grapes with black skin before, but now there are green-skinned ones.

Qiu Dong looked at An Ba with a strange expression, and said in a low voice:

"This grape is called Sunshine Rose. You can eat it with or without the skin. It is crisp, smooth, and sweet."

An Ba held one in front of his eyes and said foolishly:

"My goodness, they are bigger than my eyes."

Qiudong smiled and lowered his head, while Chunxia stood there expressionlessly.

"What about these?"

"Lychees are eaten after peeling, but the skin is not edible. Cherries do not need to be peeled and can be eaten directly. Mulberries have been cleaned and can be eaten directly. Pomegranates are peeled and can also be eaten directly, but the small core inside must be spit out."

Just as Qiu Dong was explaining patiently, Qian Yi came over.

After Qiu Dong finished speaking, he turned around and saw Qian Yi. He and Chun Xia both bowed together. Although An Ba was holding a small plate of fruit, he could not lose the etiquette of a master and servant, so he bowed immediately.

"Mr. Qian."

Qian Yi felt that he looked familiar, so he asked:

"What are you doing? Where is the Second Young Master?"

Qian Duoduo and the others also heard the sound and shouted in the house:

"Brother, I'm in the house and haven't gone back yet. Let them in quickly."

An Ba stepped forward to open the door for Qian Yi, then retreated to the shadows.

Chunxia and Qiudong followed Qian Yi in.

After entering the house, Chunxia made tea for everyone and then stood silently behind Qian Duoduo.

When Qian Yi saw Chu Yan here, he was subconsciously stunned. Thinking of the door being closed just now, his brows unconsciously frowned.

"So it's Master Chu who's here. Why didn't he let anyone know?"

This almost sounded like Chu Yan had no manners, and came here directly without notifying the host family, and did not know etiquette.

Qian Yi is a gentle person, but when he thought about what happened just now, he always felt that Chu Yan had bad intentions.

Although he is a rich son of an important official family, he and Qian Duoduo are just partners.

But sometimes, the way he looked at his sister was not innocent, and he himself was probably not aware of it.

Chu Yan listened to Qian Yi's sarcastic words, but he was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said:

"I'm sorry for being so abrupt. I came here for work, and now that I'm done, I'm here to see if the Second Young Master needs any help.

After all, I think we are friends, so I didn't think too much and just asked someone to bring it here. I was a bit abrupt. I will pay attention next time." After saying that, he still looked at Qian Yi with a smile.

He is just a person who is anxious to help his friends. He is really upright.

"It's nothing else, it's just that as the host we need to welcome them in advance to avoid being impolite." Qian Yi also said with a smile.

Qian Duoduo watched the two people interacting with each other and found it quite novel.

"Okay, Brother Chu, come and try the fruits I prepared this time. I spent a lot of money to find them."

After saying that, he motioned Qiu Dong to come forward.

Use small plates that have been prepared in advance, pick out some of each fruit and put them together, giving each person a portion.

Chu Yan was also shocked when he looked at these fruits.

The Chu State is currently short of resources and is in the post-war recovery period, so many food and even fruits are in short supply.

Even though he was a royal family, he might not be able to eat some of the fruits he wanted.

I didn't expect to see it here, at the hands of an inconspicuous small businessman.

It seems that he needs to re-evaluate Qian Duoduo's ability, or is it that someone is helping her?

for him?

Qian Duoduo took out these fruits and thought of an excuse.

In fact, these fruits are here, and she has asked the system to confirm it.

It’s just that transportation is underdeveloped now and we are in the post-war recovery period, so people don’t pay attention to these things at all.

Of course, these are all from her space.

Qian Duoduo was secretly waiting for Chu Yan to ask her about the origin of these fruits, looking at Chu Yan expectantly with her big eyes.

Chu Yan thought she was afraid that he wouldn't eat it, and looked at him expectantly, so he picked up a Sunshine Rose, peeled it slowly, and tasted it carefully.

The flesh is plump, sweet but not greasy.

Well, it's delicious.
