Unfortunately, the person at this moment was particularly enthusiastic and cheerful, so he reached out directly.
The basket is covered with a lid to prevent it from getting cold. So the moment you open it like this, the fragrance hits your nostrils.
For a moment, expectations were high, and then there was sluggishness...
"It smells so good...eh...yes, it's roasted sweet potatoes."
This ups and downs of tone could not hide his disappointment at all.
Lin Zhaoyu was not angry: "There are not many things at home. I will bring you some delicious food next time I go to the city to set up a stall."
As soon as these words came out, the young police officer who had 'Li Guofa' written on his badge subconsciously disliked it: "Don't bother. I hate eating sweet potatoes the most, so don't count me in."
The other one was named Zheng Guoqiang: "You kid, people were worried that you would be hungry, but you picked the sweet potato! What happened to you?"
Perhaps he realized that his words had caused misunderstanding.
Li Guofa quickly said: "My family was poor when I was a child. I was really tired of eating sweet potatoes three times a day. I don't dislike your roasted sweet potatoes..."
As he said this, he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and finally said: "Comrade Lin, I'm sorry..."
Lin Zhaoyu shook her head and was about to speak...
At this moment, a slender hand fell down: "Can you eat it?"
Lin Zhaoyu hurriedly said: "Okay, I was originally worried that I would pull you over and prevent you from eating. I was also worried that everyone would be hungry because of their busy schedule."
"Thank you." Huo Qiyao said with a smile: "I will pay you back later."
Lin Zhaoyu quickly refused, but Huo Qiyao ignored Lin Zhaoyu's words.
Because he focuses on tearing open the skin of the sweet potato.
The sweet potatoes are a little dry when roasted. When you peel off the blackened skin, the roasted sweet potatoes inside are orange-red, as if they have been smeared with oil!
This is because after baking, a shiny layer of sugar hangs on the surface.
Just looking at it with the naked eye makes people appetite.
Without the covering of the skin, the sweetness of roasted sweet potatoes seems to be fully unleashed!
Even Li Guofa, who was a 'hate' person, couldn't help but move closer and sniffed exaggeratedly.
"The roasted sweet potatoes are just like this. They smell delicious but taste just average." Li Guofa said firmly.
Zheng Guoqiang, on the other hand, although he didn't think sweet potatoes could be very delicious, the taste was really tempting. After all, he is not a young newcomer, so he speaks so freely.
At this moment, following his eagerness, Zheng Guoqiang quickly picked up a sweet potato: "It's so delicious, Comrade Lin, I don't mind it. Xiao Huo and I will eat all of Xiao Li's share!"
Lin Zhaoyu's eyebrows were amused by the other party's reaction: "If you think the sweet potatoes are too dry, I'll boil some tangerine peel water on the bottom layer."
However, at this time, the two public servants of the people had no time to respond.
This sweet potato is soft, glutinous and sweet in the mouth. After roasting, the sugar content is extremely compressed, and it is so sweet that one wonders if sugar has been added.
"It's so delicious! The roasted sweet potatoes in the past always smelled delicious and tasted just average!" As he spoke, Zheng Guoqiang ate most of the roasted sweet potato in several bites, and then showed a satisfied expression on his face.
Although Huo Qiyao's actions were not so urgent.
But Li Guofa and his colleagues naturally knew that this well-connected person ate everything in a leisurely manner.
At this moment, the two colleagues were devouring their food.
He was already greedy because of the scent, and now he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. His hand, as if it had an idea of its own, reached over silently.
"Brother Li doesn't want to eat?" It was Huo Qiyao who said this. His smile at this time was no longer as serious as before. A little more relaxed.
This somewhat playful ridicule made Li Guofa blush: "I'm hungry! Although I don't like sweet potatoes, I'm hungry!"
Lin Zhaoyu reconciled with a smile: "I'll eat them all. The sweet potatoes are too heavy on my stomach, so Officer Li won't eat them. I'm worried that the two officers will burst in order to comfort me."
"No, no, it's really delicious. I think I can finish it!" What Zheng Guoqiang said now was completely sincere.
Li Guofa couldn't help but said: "Can it be so delicious? You haven't seen the world before!" As he said this, he tore open the sweet potato and took a bite of it nonchalantly.
From Li Guofa's point of view, although he was greedy, he really didn't expect much from the sweet potatoes he had grown up eating.
But this sweet potato still tastes like sweet potatoes in my memory, but it evokes another unique memory.
Not that childhood filled with sweet potatoes that was suffocating. It's the parents and elders who, even if they don't have enough to eat, take out a bite for him to eat.
After this sweet potato became famous, all I recall is the bitter taste of poverty...
But if you really think about it, he can become a police officer now. Is it not the sweet potatoes that his family saved that made him what he is today?
Because Li Guofa took away the last sweet potato, Lin Zhaoyu opened the compartment and poured a bowl of tangerine peel water for each of them.
Sweet and sour, appetizing, refreshing. Even the tangerine peel water makes people want to stop.
After they had eaten and drank enough, the two of them discovered that Li Guofa's eyes were red.
Zheng Guoqiang took a breath: "You have such a serious childhood shadow, don't force yourself..." As he said that, Zheng Guoqiang's eyes rolled around. Drinking the tangerine peel water was really appetizing.
Ever since, Zheng Guoqiang was ready to snatch away the remaining half of the sweet potato.
Unfortunately, as soon as he stretched out his hand, Li Guofa dodged away: "Brother Qiang, are you a human? You can even snatch sweet potatoes from your younger brother!"
"I feel sorry for you. It's not that you don't like to eat. Food is so precious, and I don't even dislike your saliva!"
"Why don't I like eating it? Sweet potatoes are my favorite from today on!"
The two people's words proved how amazing the food made by Lin Zhaoyu was.
Huo Qiyao turned his head and said to Lin Zhaoyu: "We have obtained all the evidence here, and we will detain him for a few days. You see what your plan is."
"If the compensation proposed over there is appropriate, we don't have to pursue it here." Lin Zhaoyu looked at the destroyed loquat forest.
Crops are the lifeblood of the villagers, and this incident can be regarded as a reminder to Lin Zhaoyu.
Huo Qiyao didn't ask Lin Zhaoyu if he could make the decision. He just nodded: "Don't worry, this matter will be handled impartially."
This is a promise.
Lin Zhaoyu knew that the other party's identity was unusual. The value of this promise was far higher than she thought.
I felt even more grateful from the bottom of my heart: "What happened this time is really thanks to you."
"Even other police officers will not be partial."
"I know, but the existence of the other party, even if it is not partial, may be in conflict." Not to mention, there are some things that the other party has the capital to hold back, but they have no capital to hold them back.
Huo Qiyao was surprised that the person in front of him could see so clearly.
The three of them ate all the sweet potatoes and tangerine peel tea before preparing to leave.
Huo Qiyao wanted to give him "meal money", but Lin Zhaoyu naturally refused again and again.
The other party looked helpless: "I'll have your tricycle brought back to you later, so you don't have to make a trip."
Lin Zhaoyu did not refuse the other party's words.
