In the hot summer, serving such a colorful, tempting and delicious fruit ice plate is simply the greatest test of one's self-control.
The first time Aunt Yu saw it, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
You know, she has lived in the palace for many years and is the person who knows how to control her emotions best.
However, now faced with such a fruit ice plate, she couldn't control it!
The fruit plate was quickly placed on the desk next to Aunt Yu, and Xiao Nianzhi also walked over: "Aunt, it's hot, let's eat some fruit first, and we'll see what we eat later."
The two of us had such a good meal for lunch that even though it was not yet dark, we had not digested it yet.
So, don’t rush to think about what to eat just yet.
Aunt Yu could not control herself for a long time, but she still tried to be reserved.
The small fruit picks have been placed on the small plate on the side.
Aunt Yu picked up a skewer, paired it with a small plate, and pricked a piece of watermelon first.
On such a summer day, a piece of refreshing iced watermelon will make you feel comfortable just thinking about it.
Today's watermelons are somewhat different from the sandy fruit soil improved by later generations.
However, when I took a bite, it was crisp, tender and refreshing. Now it has only been lightly chilled, giving it a slight chill.
Aunt Yu felt that the temperature was just right for eating. She squinted her eyes and took another bite.
A piece of watermelon is not cut into a large piece, and two bites are enough to finish it.
The abundant juice explodes in the mouth, and the sweet taste and refreshing feeling also travel between the lips and teeth, and then spread to every part of the body.
Aunt Yu even felt that every inch of her pores seemed to have received this faint coolness and opened up comfortably.
The heat of the summer had been dissipated a lot. Aunt Yu nodded and pricked another piece of melon.
This melon is very similar to some cantaloupe varieties from later generations, with a light green color. After removing the seed soil inside, only a sweet and refreshing fragrance remains.
The skin of the melon has been removed, and the layer of flesh close to the skin is slightly crispy. The farther inside, the softer the flesh becomes, and at the same time it has a long-lasting sweet aroma.
One bite after another, the sweetness directly reaches people's hearts.
Melon does exactly what its name suggests. It is much sweeter than watermelon and has a different taste.
Eating it is another kind of enjoyment.
Aunt Yu, who loves sweets, almost raised her feet in excitement!
At this time, Aunt Yu couldn't help but cheer quietly in her heart: sweet, crispy, tender, and refreshing!
Ahhhhh, this is what summer should be like!
The melon tasted so good that Aunt Yu couldn't control it. She ignored the apricots and peaches for the time being and focused on the melon. Seeing that Xiao Nianzhi hadn't moved yet, she hurriedly waved: "Think about it, come here quickly. What are you thinking about?" "
When Xiao Nianzhi was called, he nodded obediently, then walked over and sat opposite Aunt Yu.
She was just attracted by Aunt Yu's cute eating style just now.
Girls are cute regardless of their age. The way Aunt Yu was squinting in contentment just now really looked like a cat that had successfully foraged for food. It was so cute that you couldn't help but want to touch its head.
Of course, just think about it.
If Xiao Nianzhi really said it, Aunt Yu would definitely be embarrassed and would fall out if she didn't do it well.
After sitting down, Xiao Nianzhi also pricked a piece of watermelon first.
Chilled watermelon is simply a summer standard.
Without it, I always feel that the taste of summer would be a little less.
A piece of watermelon dispelled the slight heat from his body. Xiao Nianzhi then pierced apricot flesh, peach flesh, and the wild fruit that looked so purple that it was almost turning black.
Qingxing said, they call it the Forgetting Fruit.
They don't know the specific scientific name.
Xiao Nianzhi had never seen this kind of fruit in his later generations.
There is a possibility that it was improved in the middle and then became another variety.
There is another kind, which is probably extinct.
Xiao Nianzhi thinks that it tastes very good. Although it is not big, it has a natural fragrance and a good taste.
It would be a pity if it really became extinct.
So, if you have time, transplant some of it into the yard.
A fruit ice plate, two people almost showed off most of it.
Qingxing and Qingtao watched from the side, their saliva almost dripping from their mouths!
They felt that they were not particularly greedy people, but they couldn't resist these two people's delicious food!
Especially Aunt Yu, that look of satisfaction was very rare.
Qingxing was so surprised at first that she almost couldn't close her mouth. If she wasn't afraid that her aunt would be angry when she saw it, she might not have been able to react for a long time.
As the cold air rises, the fruits are slowly immersed in the cool temperature, and the fruity aroma floats into the distance little by little along with the strands of cold air.
The fruit is originally cut into small pieces, which makes it easy for the fruity aroma to spread.
At this time, together with the cool air, it drifted farther.
Coupled with Aunt Yu's eating and broadcasting scene, Qingxing and Qingtao had to lower their heads from time to time to swallow the saliva they couldn't control.
Aunt Yu was too happy to show off at first and didn't know about it, but later she found out and asked Xiao Nianzhi: "Do you still have this?"
Xiao Nianzhi discovered it just now, but since she was both a disciple and a guest, it was not easy for her to be in charge.
Therefore, she kept silent, thinking that if Aunt Yu really didn't notice later, she would give her a tactful reminder.
Now when Aunt Yu asked, she nodded hurriedly: "Yes, I'll get it."
Aunt Yu opened her mouth, intending to let Qingxing and the others prepare to go by themselves.
But I was afraid that it would involve some exclusive inheritance and embarrass the little girl, so I didn't say anything in the end.
She had eaten a lot now, and she just happened to get up and take a walk, so that after digesting it, she could eat again when she came back.
Thinking of this, Aunt Yu also got up and said she wanted to watch the fun.
Everyone went to the backyard together again and made a new fruit ice plate.
Aunt Yu naturally knew that Xiao Nianzhi knew how to use saltpeter to make ice.
Therefore, she was not surprised when she saw the ice tray before, let alone asked any questions.
However, knowing it, knowing that actually watching this process take place, the whole person is still extremely shocked.
When she came to her senses, she said to Qingxing and Qingtao with a serious face: "Watch your mouth and don't talk nonsense."
Aunt Yu's tone was not harsh, but the majesty of the former aunt in charge was enough to intimidate the two of them.
Qingxing and Qingtao hurriedly said that they understood and knew how to keep their mouths shut.
Seeing the obedient appearance of the two people, Aunt Yu nodded with satisfaction, then turned her eyes to Xiao Nianzhi who was busy.
No matter what time it is, as long as Xiao Nianzhi is in the kitchen, no matter how busy he is, he can move like clouds and flowing water, with smooth beauty and familiarity.
Aunt Yu sighed every time she looked at it: How come this little girl looks so cute, cute, beautiful and capable?
She really found a treasure!
Looking at it this way, her luck is quite good.
Thinking of this, Aunt Yu puffed up her chest with pride.
As a result, it didn't feel good. I had a slightly bulging belly due to eating fruit.
After reacting, Aunt Yu withdrew for a second, and at the same time looked around guiltily, and then calmly took another breath.
