Chapter 386
While Hua Banzhi was talking to Zhou Guangming, Lin Xiyan pushed the cart and ran back again.
Hua Banzhi looked at him sweating profusely and said, "Look at you sweating, why are you running away? We won't leave." As he said that, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to him.
Lin Xiyan put down the cart, took the handkerchief from her hand and wiped the sweat, "I'm afraid you're afraid, so I ran back all the way."
Hua Banzhi smiled and shook her head, "I'm not that disobedient and soft-eared Tang Monk." He looked at him with concern and said, "I'm not thirsty, I forgot to bring water."
"It doesn't matter, there are many herbal tea stalls on the street." Lin Xiyan looked at Hua Banzhi with a handkerchief and said, "It's dirty, I'll put it on." Without waiting for her to react, she put the handkerchief in her pocket and walked straight into the herbal tea shop.
"Mom, let's go and have a look." Zhou Guangming pulled Hua Banzhi and followed Lin Xiyan, standing outside the shop.
The herbal tea shop is very small, with a small shop with an area of only two or three square meters simple facilities. There are several porcelain bowls or glass cups, several iron kettles, and several small brands with herbal tea types on the counter.
Lin Xiyan took out two cents from his pocket and put them on the counter, picked up a cup of thick black herbal tea, and drank it all without frowning.
"This taste is really nostalgic." Lin Xiyan licked his mouth, satisfied!
"Uncle, what's this dark?" Zhou Guangming asked curiously.
"Herbal tea." Lin Xiyan lowered his head and looked at Zhou Guangming with a smile.
"Is it delicious? Look at you drinking it all in one go, it's delicious!" Zhou Guangming asked, blinking his face and looking at him.
Lin Xiyan simply took another cup, poured it into the cup he had just drunk, looked at Hua Banzhi and said, "Do you drink it? If you drink it, I'm taking a clean cup."
"I'm not thirsty." Hua Banzhi waved her hands, looking like she was in a respectful way.
Seeing this, Lin Xiyan pursed his lips and smiled, poured the herbal tea into his cup only a large mouthful, and then handed it to Zhou Guangming, "Let me have a drink first."
Zhou Guangming took the glass, looked at the dark soup, and smelled a strange smell, "It seems a bit bitter. Can I not drink it?"
"Yeah!" Lin Xiyan shook his head and said, "I'm used to drinking it, and I don't feel bitter at all."
I heard you make a fool of yourself, Hua Banzhi complained in her heart: Just like I can't believe that the hot pot is not spicy at all, nor can I believe that the herbal tea they say is not bitter at all. You know, they have been drinking it since they were young, and their taste is different from people in other places.
The taste of herbal tea is like walking into the cemetery where you sleep in spring. The taste is very ecstatic.
"Really?" Zhou Guangming said in deep doubt.
"Nothing I said is useless, you can try it yourself." Lin Xiyan said seriously.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Guangming slowly poured the cup into his mouth, and squirted it out "Puff..."
Lin Xiyan and Hua Banzhi were prepared and hid far away.
"Uncle, you lied to me. It was so bad, it was so bitter." Zhou Guangming stuck out his tongue and said sadly.
"Your uncle is right. He is used to drinking it, so he doesn't feel bitter at all. The first time we drink it, of course we can't bear the smell." Hua Banzhi looked at him and smiled, "How does it feel when I first drink it?"
"I won't drink it even if I beat it to death." Zhou Guangming looked at the herbal tea ceremony in Lin Xiyan's hand with disgust.
"Don't talk so much. If you stay for a long time, you will fall in love with it." Lin Xiyan said confidently, and slapped the herbal tea in the cup and pressed the money under the cup.
"Impossible." Zhou Guangming shook his head like a rattle.
"You will know then. If I don't force you, your mother will force you to drink." Lin Xiyan looked at Hua Banzhi and said with great confidence.
Hua Banzhi smiled when she heard this, "I heard that your tone was often forced to drink herbal tea at home when I was a child."
"Yeah!" Lin Xiyan nodded and said, "There is a saying that goes: Here, there is a kind of irritation that my mother thinks you are getting angry. My mother is dragged to the street to drink herbal tea stalls, which is something everyone here has experienced. When one day you start looking for herbal tea on the street by yourself, it means you have grown up."
"I will never drink it." Zhou Guangming shook his head firmly.
"Don't drink the bitter ones, don't drink the sweet ones." Hua Banzhi looked at him and said with a smile.
"Is there something sweet?" Zhou Guangming said deeply, "Mom, don't lie to me like an uncle."
"I won't lie to you!" Hua Banzhi looked at him who was afraid of being cheated and smiled, "There are also non-bitter herbal teas, including chrysanthemum pear water, bamboo cane, and the arbor fruit and five-flower tea, which tastes very sweet. Oops! Listen to the ingredients, it won't be bitter."
"It's better for my mother." Zhou Guangming looked at Hua Banzhi and said coquettishly.
"Oh! That's the uncle is not good." Lin Xiyan said deliberately as he looked at him.
"It's a bit." Zhou Guangming said unhappily, "but you won't know how bitter it is if you don't taste it."
"Little clever guy." Lin Xiyan looked at him and shook his head and laughed, "I will make sweet herbal tea for you when I come back." He suddenly clapped his hands, "When it comes to making herbal tea, we still lack a casserole for making medicine." He immediately said, "I'll buy it now." Then he went directly to the local Japanese store. In a blink of an eye, he came over with a casserole for making medicine and a casserole for making rice.
This fast-moving Hua Banzhi didn't even have time to speak.
"Why did you buy two casseroles?" Hua Banzhi asked looking at him.
"This is for making porridge." Lin Xiyan put the casserole on the cart and helped it up and said, "Let's go! Let's go buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar." Looking at Zhou Guangming, "Come up."
"Oh!" Zhou Guangming got into the cart obediently and held the casserole in his arms.
The three of them went to the side food store, bought all the condiments, and went directly to the rice store.
Hua Banzhi looked at the noodles bags and rice bags on the cart, "Where did you find these? I haven't prepared them yet?" Nowadays, the grain is in bulk, so when you come to buy rice and flour, you have to bring your own tools to hold the grain.
"Brother He has it in the kitchen, so borrow it first." Lin Xiyan said with a smile at her.
"Actually, we can buy the whole bag of grain. After eating this way, the bag will be available." Hua Banzhi said simply and easily.
"No, I can't finish eating too much. Not only do I get worms, but it's also easy to break down." Lin Xiyan said immediately, "The rice shop is different. They have a way to store it."
Hua Banzhi would not believe that there was any solution in the rice shop. If insects grow in the grain, they will still be sold.
She bought a lot of food for insects. After she got home, she took a sieve basket and sifted out the insects herself.
Nowadays, every household does this.
"Just like rice, white flour, let's get ten kilograms first!" Lin Xiyan said to the staff.
