Chapter 240 Cutting the Melon
Doctor Sun also finished reading his letter. There were two letters in total, and the other one was indeed written to him by Mr. Zhao.
He looked at Xie Wanxing who was sighing and asked, "Yes, is it the letter that Prince Chen wrote to you?"
Xie Wanxing nodded. Seeing the familiar tone in which Mr. Zhao mentioned Chen Zhifei, he knew that they had a special relationship. Doctor Sun and Mr. Yu were also good friends of Mr. Zhao, so it was not surprising that they knew Chen Zhifei.
"Old Zhao mentioned it in the letter he sent me, asking me to give you this letter from Prince Chen." Doctor Sun was also curious. "I didn't expect you actually knew him."
Xie Wanxing said: "It was just an accident."
Doctor Sun still looked confused.
"He was injured, and my father accidentally ran into him and saved him, so I am familiar with him. This time we came to Zhongzhou because he showed us the way."
Doctor Sun frowned slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "So that's how it is, this is really fate."
Doctor Sun did not ask any more questions. He rang the bell, and the crisp sound echoed in the clinic, starting today's consultation. Xie Wanxing also quietly sat back in his old seat.
By noon, the morning's consultations had been completed. Usually at this time, Xie Wanxing would have lunch with everyone in Baohe Hall, but today, for the first time, she went outside.
Doctor Liu was surprised to see this scene. He stopped what he was doing and shouted, "Xiaoxing, aren't you eating here today? We have your favorite fried small yellow croaker today!"
When Xie Wanxing heard this, he paused and a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.
The fried small yellow croaker made by the uncle in the kitchen of Baohetang is her favorite. It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fresh and delicious. After hesitating for a long time, Xie Wanxing turned around and went back, took two fried small yellow croakers and left.
Xie Wanxing took two small yellow croakers and gave one to Xie Ning, and the two of them went to the Frappuccino shop together. The Xingbao Pavilion next door to the Frappuccino shop had also opened, officially taking over all orders from the two workshops. A wide variety of small items were neatly displayed on the shop's display shelves.
Passing by the door, I saw Xie Songyang busy shuttling between the counters. He was agile and his eyes were focused. At this time, he had recognized a lot of words and could skillfully apply what he had learned when looking at the account books. When he met customers who came to ask questions, he had a warm smile on his face and seemed at ease when communicating with others.
"Second uncle!" Xie Wanxing called out.
Xie Songyang turned around when he heard the voice, a friendly smile on his face, and said, "Hey, Ah Xing is here. How was your study this morning?"
"Very good. I came to see my father and happened to see that Xingbao Pavilion was open for business, so I wanted to say hello to you. Uncle, you are busy. I'll go in."
Xie Songyang nodded and said, "Okay, if you have any questions, just go find Second Uncle."
Xie Wanxing and Xie Ning walked into Frappuccino. It was no longer as crowded as when it first opened, but there were still many customers.
She looked around the store and didn't see Xie Songlin, so she walked to the counter and asked Manager Zhuang.
Shopkeeper Zhuang said with a smile, "Yes, young lady. The boss went out today and bought a watermelon. It's in the backyard now."
"So fast?" Xie Wanxing couldn't help but be a little surprised, thinking that her father was really efficient. He just said last night that he would buy it today.
In the backyard, there was a large basin in front of Xie Songlin. There were a lot of ice cubes in the basin, and a green watermelon was frozen in it.
He heard footsteps and looked up. Seeing Xie Wanxing and Xie Ning, he smiled and greeted them, "Axing, Aning, you're here just in time. Come cut some watermelon and have some."
Xie Wanxing quickly stepped forward, looked at the melon in front of him and blurted out: "Such a small melon?"
Xie Songlin curled his lips, reached out to pick up the watermelon knife beside him, and said slowly: "It's a little small, but do you know how much it cost me?"
Xie Wanxing's heart skipped a beat, thinking Xie Songlin would come up with a scary number. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but ask, "How much?"
Xie Songlin's face remained calm: "Fifty taels."
"How much???" Xie Wanxing's eyes widened instantly, his face full of shock, he could not believe his ears.
She pointed at the small watermelon chilling in the wooden basin and raised her voice, "That's it! Such a small watermelon, and you want fifty taels? Are you robbing me? I could have just robbed you, and I'd give you a small watermelon as a gift."
"It's indeed a bit outrageous, but I just knocked it, it should be sweet." After saying this, Xie Songlin took the watermelon out of the ice basin, held it in both hands and placed it on the table in the yard, then picked up the watermelon knife beside him and began to prepare to cut the watermelon.
As soon as the blade touched the skin of the watermelon, there was a "click" sound, and the watermelon naturally split in the direction of the knife, splitting into two halves.
Xie Wanxing moved closer. The flesh of the melon was bright red and so juicy that it was almost overflowing with juice.
"It's a little small, but the quality is okay." Xie Wanxing clicked her tongue twice. This quality wouldn't be outstanding in modern times, but it would have been acceptable in ancient times. However, her tone was still full of dissatisfaction with the price. "But it's still expensive! Fifty taels! That's enough for several families to eat for a year. This watermelon has really become a luxury."
"Try it." Xie Songlin smiled and skillfully cut the watermelon into several pieces. He first picked up a piece and handed it to Cheng Hui, who had just walked into the yard.
He took another piece and handed it to Xie Ning, saying, "Come, Aning, try this rare thing."
Cheng Hui took the watermelon and said, "Fifty taels for a watermelon is really too expensive, and you bought two!"
"You bought two more, Boss Xie?" Xie Wanxing was shocked again. She widened her eyes and looked at her father in disbelief. "You are really generous. It seems that you have really made some money."
Xie Ning didn't care about these things. For him, he would always accept anything Xie Songlin gave him without hesitation, and he would not care how expensive the watermelon was.
It looked delicious indeed. He, who usually didn't talk much, gave a rare evaluation at this moment: "It's delicious."
At this moment, Xie Songlin's voice was heard: "No, I bought three." Everyone looked in the direction of his voice and saw him laboriously carrying out two large watermelons from the private room. These two watermelons were truly astonishing in size, much larger than the small one everyone had just eaten, and each weighed more than ten pounds.
Xie Wanxing understood it at a glance. These two were moved out from the space, and the small melon he just ate was probably bought outside. He probably wanted to compare the difference between the two.
"Take one back with you later, and put some ice in the carriage. Take it back and let Mr. Yu and Lan'er taste it."
Xie Wanxing responded: "Okay, but I came here to talk about something."
Xie Songlin also took a piece of melon and ate it. After taking a bite, a satisfied expression appeared on his face. He asked casually, "What's the matter?"
Xie Wanxing said, "My cousin wrote me a letter."
"Cousin, where's your cousin?" Xie Songlin paused in his melon-biting motion, as if suddenly realizing something. "Chen Zhifei?"
Xie Wanxing nodded slightly.
