90s: Koi beauty reborn and became rich

To be honest, not only is the flesh of honey pomelo delicious, but it is also "a treasure from the inside out." This gift from nature really shouldn't be treated like this.

Yi Congxin tilted her little head, picked up another whole pomelo and smelled it carefully.

The bitter aroma of grapefruit peel made her mind clearer.

"Sister-in-law, if you don't mind, I'd really like to trouble you to send some more..." Yi said from the heart.

Chen Xuemei was stunned.

To be honest, I was really surprised.

She was just being polite, but Yi Congxin was so rude?!

It was no wonder that she was surprised. Yi Congxin's words did sound like he was taking advantage of the situation.

Yi Congxin smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to send it to me, send it to Zheng's shop. There's a lot of potential in making this pomelo. When I'm done, I'll let you try it first."

She had a lot on her mind.

Besides the grand plan of making every penny count, there was also the question of how to undermine Yan's business, and how to use actual objects to train the young men in cutting skills this afternoon. And then there was Sister Xuemei's grapefruit, which might have otherwise been wasted on the mountain...

All four combined!

Got it!

Yi Cong secretly wanted to do something new.

Chen Xuemei and her three companions left, and Yi Congxin went to the kitchen holding two big grapefruits.

Xin Yu gave the old man a few peeled pomelo slices and followed him in.

strangeness--

Instead of cutting the peel to get the flesh from the center, you should spread salt on the washed grapefruit peel over and over again?

Is she going to make... cold-mixed grapefruit peels?

Yi Cong didn't even raise his head. "Please buy me two bottles of honey. Only acacia honey, nothing else. The money is in the drawer on the right side of my desk."

A habit she developed since childhood - making medicine often involves secret recipes and requires concentration, so she prefers to work quietly alone.

This is very similar to the old man.

Although she was not making medicine at the moment, but just making a tea, she casually assigned the task to Xin Yu and sent him out.

I have ready-made rock sugar at home, so I just need to buy some acacia honey.

Xin Yu raised his eyebrows, did not take Yi Congxin's money, but walked out directly.

When he came back, a faint sweet smell was already wafting through the yard.

He walked into the kitchen and saw that the two large grapefruits were still on the chopping board, but their "clothes" had been peeled clean, leaving only a layer of white membrane protecting the flesh. What was cooking in the pot was -

Finely shredded grapefruit peel?

The pomelo peel that had been simmered over medium-low heat had gradually become sticky. Yi tore the pomelo flesh into small strips and threw them into the pot. Half an hour later, she sprinkled a handful of washed honeysuckle into the pot, stirred it a few times, and turned off the stove.

Only after she had quietly finished her work did Xin Yu speak: "What is this for?"

Yi Congxin winked at him and said, "It tastes good, even better than honeysuckle tea."

She knew that although Xin Yu appeared aloof on the surface, he was actually a hidden sweet foodie. He would definitely like this "Honeysuckle Honey Pomelo Tea".

This tea is mainly lightly sweet, supplemented by sourness and bitterness. It is perfect for relieving heat and dryness in the hot summer, and it is suitable for men, women, young and old.

Not to mention that grapefruit peel contains naringin, acacia honey contains robinin, and honeysuckle contains chlorogenic acid. These ingredients can be antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial, and can clear harmful substances in the blood, which can help the elderly clear lung phlegm.

Looking at Yi Congxin's smug expression, Xin Yu became a little expectant.

By the time Yi Congxin took him to Zhengji in the afternoon, his expression had changed from anticipation to pride, and... reluctance.

After all, even drinking two big cups was not enough.

Looking at the two cans of "Honeysuckle Honey Pomelo Tea" in Yi Congxin's hand, Xin Yu really couldn't bear to give them to others.

Xin Yu half-peeked out from behind the woven bag and muttered weakly, "Can you please not take so much?"

"Ah? It's a bit heavy for you to hold, right?" Yi Congxin asked.

She thought Xin Yu was talking about the big bag of grapefruits.

The two of them did bring a lot of things today. In addition to a basket full of medicinal herbs in each backpack, Yi Congxin was holding two cans of boiled tea paste and training materials, and Xin Yu was holding a large woven bag of grapefruits.

Xin Yu glanced at Yi Congxin and turned away.

Who do you look down on?

He was talking about grapefruit tea!

Wasn’t the pomelo tea she worked so hard to make specially prepared for him... ahem, grandpa?

She only left a small bowl for her family!

Who's drinking enough?!

"If it's heavy, let's go to the roadside to rest before we continue." Yi Congxin suggested seriously.

Xin Yu's ears turned red from being choked. He was so angry that he didn't want to look at her and walked forward with big strides.

Yi follows his heart: "..."

baffling.

I have never met such an awkward person in my life.

Just showing off!

The Zheng family father and son waited for Yi Xin to come to their door.

After the "Training Oath-taking Ceremony" was held yesterday, Yi Congxin talked about the key points of learning and the inspection methods. The two were more looking forward to it than the boys.

Zheng Ji has no head manager, and Zheng Donggen has always been in charge. He has great ambitions and always wants to expand the business. Unfortunately, the young men in the "rear area" are not capable enough, and he is "willing to kill the enemy but unable to turn the tide."

Now that he has Yi Congxin...it has really solved a lot of his worries.

The two men thought that Yi Congxin would be dressed formally today, holding teaching materials and a blackboard pointer, with the demeanor of a "teacher".

Unexpectedly, she looked even more tired than usual. Such a thin girl was carrying so many things on her back and in her arms, her face was flushed with heat.

Seeing that she didn't even take a break, but instead placed two glass jars on the table with a smile, the father and son of the Zheng family were confused.

what is this?

Newly prepared medicinal materials?

Zheng Mingcai has been in the industry for decades and has seen countless pills, powders, pastes, pills, dew, and tablets... But what is this in front of him?

However, Chinese medicine culture is extensive and profound. Perhaps it is a new prescription developed by Yi Congxin and her grandfather, who was known as the "number one in Southern Ming Dynasty"?

Or is this a "teaching material" used for training?

The thing in this glass jar looks familiar.

It looks like a grapefruit sent by my daughter-in-law’s hometown?

"Is this pomelo...paste?" Zheng Donggen's tone was not very sure.

"It's almost there. You two can try it first." Yi Congxin smiled and made two bowls for them.

Seeing Xin Yu staring at her greedily, she threatened him calmly, "You can't drink anymore today. If you drink too much, you'll have diarrhea."

The father and son of the Zheng family took a bite skeptically, and their eyes suddenly widened!

The refreshing sweetness and sourness of grapefruit, the floral aroma of acacia and honeysuckle, and the sweetness of honey linger in the mouth for a while, with a hint of bitterness at the end that makes people linger...

It’s really a different kind of thirst-quenching experience.

Refreshing! So refreshing!

After finishing a bowl of rice, the father and son both relaxed their expressions.

The expression of satisfaction was too obvious.

Xin Yu raised his eyebrows. If it weren't for his manly dignity and Yi Congxin's warning, he would have turned into a hungry wolf and rushed over to snatch the food.

Yi Congxin watched the changes in the two people's expressions and felt happy.
