Chapter 208 Giving Watermelon
However, when Tiantian's eyes fell on the plate of fruits, she was surprised to find that there was actually one last watermelon left in it!
This big, round watermelon with green skin and red flesh instantly reminded her of the Mu family.
So, Tiantian blinked her bright eyes, looked at Old Lady Yun expectantly, and asked softly, "Grandma, can I give this watermelon to my godfather and godmother? I want to give one to my little brother, too."
Old Lady Yun smiled slightly upon hearing this, lovingly reaching out her hand to gently touch Tiantian's little head, and nodded tenderly in response, "Of course, my dear granddaughter. However, the journey is a bit far, so let your uncle go pick another watermelon and accompany you."
After saying that, Yun Tingshu walked over quickly, picked up the exquisite bamboo basket containing watermelon from the table, then took Tiantian's little hand, and the two of them walked towards the Mu family together.
Along the way, although the sun was setting this time, the land that was scorched by the sun was still emitting heat, but this did not affect Tiantian's sweet and cheerful mood at all.
After a while, they arrived at the gate of the magnificent Mu Mansion.
When the doorman saw that it was Miss Tiantian, his face immediately filled with smiles. He hurried forward to greet her and quickly sent a servant to take Tiantian to where the master and mistress were.
"Godmother, godfather!" From a distance, Tiantian ran over like a light and agile bird, and in the blink of an eye she fell into Mu's mother's warm embrace.
"Oh, why are you here, baby Tiantian? It's so hot, don't get sunburned!" Mother Mu looked at Tiantian's rosy little face with distressed eyes, and gently wiped the fine beads of sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief.
"Godmother, I'm not hot at all! Look, Tiantian specially brought you some big watermelons to cool you down!" As she said that, Tiantian turned her head to look at Yun Tingshu who was walking slowly behind her. The latter smiled and handed over the basket in his hand.
"Watermelon?" Mu's father and mother exclaimed in unison, their faces filled with confusion and surprise, their eyes fixed on Tiantian. In their long lives, they had never heard of such a thing.
"Well, watermelon is a fruit, and it's very delicious!" Tiantian explained excitedly, reaching out to pull her uncle next to her, motioning him to take the watermelon out of the basket. The uncle carefully opened the basket, and a huge, lush, green watermelon appeared before everyone's eyes.
"How do you eat this?" Father Mu looked at the chubby thing curiously, then turned to Tiantian and asked. Tiantian blinked and smiled and replied, "You can cut it into small pieces, or cut it in half and eat it with a spoon."
"Go to the kitchen and get a knife." Father Mu turned and instructed the maid standing beside him.
"Okay, Master." The little maid responded and ran out like a gust of wind. Not long after, she returned to the living room, panting, holding a sharp and clean kitchen knife in her hand, and respectfully handed it to Father Mu.
Father Mu held the watermelon steady with his left hand and gripped the kitchen knife with his right. With a slight push, he heard a crisp "click" as the blade sliced easily into the rind. As the blade slowly moved, the watermelon was instantly split in half, revealing the bright red, juicy flesh. A sweet aroma immediately filled the air, making everyone salivate.
"My wife, please try it!" Father Mu smiled and carefully handed the first piece of watermelon he had just cut to his wife's slender and fair hands.
Tiantian, who was standing aside, opened her big watery eyes and looked at her godmother with anticipation, secretly wondering whether she would like to eat this sweet and delicious watermelon.
After Mu's mother took the watermelon, she first gently sniffed the fresh fruity fragrance, then took a small bite with her cherry lips. After chewing and savoring it carefully, a satisfied smile suddenly bloomed on her face: "It's so delicious! Not only is it sweet and juicy, but it also quenches thirst. This watermelon feels cold, it must have been taken out of the well not long ago?"
"Yes, godmother, you guessed right. This watermelon was indeed just taken out of the ice." Tiantian nodded obediently and answered crisply.
Hearing the word "ice", Mu's father and mother couldn't help but look at each other with a hint of surprise in their eyes.
You know, in their opinion, it is not easy to afford ice.
This ice must either be stored in your own ice cellar last winter, or you have to spend a lot of money to buy it from a special ice room.
Given the Yun family's current situation, being able to possess ice was somewhat beyond their expectations.
However, Mu's father and mother are people with a sense of boundaries. Since this is someone else's private matter, they naturally won't ask too much.
"Tiantian, and Uncle Tiantian, you two should not be polite, and try this refreshing watermelon. It's so hot today, you must be very hot after walking all the way here, right?" As he said that, Father Mu picked up two pieces of cut watermelon and handed them to Tiantian and Yun Tingshu respectively.
Seeing this, Tiantian and Yun Tingshu no longer refused. They took the watermelon generously and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
For a moment, the whole yard was filled with the sweet aroma of watermelon and everyone's cheerful laughter.
Tiantian took a big bite of the watermelon, and with a "puff", the sweet juice instantly burst in her mouth. The coolness and sweetness seemed like a spring flowing through her throat, nourishing her heart.
Tiantian's eyes narrowed into slits, and she happily enjoyed the wonderful taste, secretly sighing in her heart: "I really love the taste of watermelon!"
At this moment, various images of delicious food made with watermelon flashed through her mind like a movie.
There is the cool and refreshing watermelon juice, the delicate and smooth watermelon double-skin milk, and the crystal clear watermelon jelly... just thinking about it makes people salivate.
However, Tiantian also realized a problem - the names of certain ingredients and cooking methods in ancient times were different from those in modern times.
Therefore, if she wants to make these delicious dishes by herself, she has to spend some time and effort to study them carefully.
At this moment, the watermelon had been eaten up by Tiantian.
She patted her belly contentedly, then followed her uncle to the Mu family next door.
At this time, a gorgeous sunset appeared on the horizon.
Yun Tingshu, standing at the door, looked up at the sky and found that it was indeed getting late.
He turned to Tiantian and said, "Tiantian, give your brother's watermelon to the doorman. It's time for us to go home."
Tiantian nodded obediently, handed the remaining watermelon in her hand to the Mu family's doorman, and then followed Yun Tingshu on the road back to the Yun family.
Along the way, Tiantian was still immersed in the wonderful taste of the watermelon she had just tasted, and at the same time she was also looking forward to successfully developing those exciting watermelon delicacies as soon as possible.
