Chapter 90 Xia Wen Arrives
Chapter 90 Xia Wen Arrives
After returning to his hometown, Xia Shiyu only went up the mountain occasionally to check on the crops. The rest of the time, he freely played all over the mountains and fields. However, it was already winter, and there was nothing fun to do on the mountain.
While she was casually strolling around, Xia Wen was on the train to her home.
When she returned from abroad, she had planned to eat a lot of delicious food with Shen Ge. They had already made a long list on the plane.
But who would have thought that as soon as they got home they would be eating vegetables grown by Xia Shiyu. They had originally just wanted some light porridge and side dishes, but this meal suddenly became a state banquet. After eating this meal, they always felt that other delicacies they ate when they went out always lacked something.
However, they couldn't just give up eating because of that, since it was still the domestic food they had been longing for for a long time. So Xia Wen took Shen Ge to try all the local delicacies in the city. They even went to the previous food competition, but Xia Shiyu was no longer there at the time, so they didn't know they had run into her.
After playing for a while, Shen Ge took the high-speed train back home the day before yesterday.
She was quite reluctant to leave, partly because she was reluctant to part with Xia Wen, and partly because she was reluctant to leave her family's vegetables.
"Xiaowen, when you go this time, you must make sure to get my sister to add me on social media. Also, remember to bring a gift, and buy some vegetables for me too."
Xia Wen's face darkened. "You, you glutton, you call everyone 'little sister,' but Xiao Yu's surname is Xia."
Shen Ge covered her mouth and chuckled, "Hey, you can't say that. Isn't your sister my sister too?"
"Alright, alright, go ahead and take the high-speed train. I'll make sure to pass on the message to you and make sure you can eat vegetables from my hometown anytime."
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news." Shen Ge said and left happily.
After seeing Shen Ge off, Xia Wen boarded the train to Xia Shiyu's house, filled with excitement and anticipation.
Of course, she had informed Xia Shiyu in advance. Xia Shiyu knew she was coming, and since it happened to be the day her father went to sell vegetables, he asked him to pick her up while he was there. She and her mother could just cook at home.
As soon as Xia Wen got out of the car, she saw Xia Lihua.
She raised her hand in greeting, "Third Uncle, I'm here."
"Hey, Xiaowen, I'm here." Xia Lihua stepped forward to take the luggage.
Xia Lihua asked with concern, "How was it? Did you feel any discomfort while riding in the car?"
Xia Wen shook her head; she wasn't carsick. "It's alright, Third Uncle. I feel fine, after all, it was only a little over an hour's train ride."
"That's good. I've just finished selling my vegetables. Let's go home together. Xiaoyu and your aunt are cooking."
Xia Wen's eyes lit up. "That's wonderful, Third Uncle! Your family's food is especially delicious. I've been waiting for this moment."
Xia Lihua laughed heartily, "Haha, then don't worry, I guarantee you'll eat your fill."
When Xia Lihua brought Xia Wen home, the meal was already prepared and waiting for the two of them.
As Xia Wen rode back, she kept looking around, because she hadn't seen this road for three or four years and it felt somewhat unfamiliar.
After getting off the car, she happily ran down and hugged Xia Shiyu who came out.
"Xiao Yu"
Xia Shiyu hugged her back, saying, "Sister, welcome!"
Yu Juan happily came out to greet her, "Xiao Wen is here! Come in, come in! The food is ready and waiting for you to eat."
"Haha, Uncle and Aunt, don't worry, I even brought a gift."
As she spoke, Xia Wen opened her suitcase and took out a lot of things.
"Here, this is for your uncle, this is for your aunt, and this is for Xiaoyu's maternal grandparents. And this is for Xiaoyu. Oh, and my friend Shen Ge also brought you a set of skincare products as a gift. She hopes you can buy some vegetables for her often in the future."
The gifts Xia Wen brought out filled the entire table, surprising Xia Shiyu and his family.
"Xiaowen, you're spending too much! Why did you buy so many things?"
"Yes, you're welcome to come, but you don't need to buy so much stuff."
Grandpa and Grandma were also surprised. "Oh my, why are you bringing this girl to us? You're too kind."
Xia Shiyu hadn't expected her cousin to be so generous, even bringing along her friends.
"Don't worry, sister, I'll mail it to you later. Don't worry."
"Haha, everyone, no need to be so polite, we're all relatives... I've been waiting for you to give me that affirmative answer."
After Xia Shiyu and the others finished packing, they asked Xia Wen to wash her hands and then eat.
After Xia Wen washed her hands, she sat down. There were many dishes on the table. Yu Juan had specially brought out all the good food and meat from home, and Xia Shiyu had even brought out fruit honey and poured some for each of them.
Although it's impossible to send it to every relative, I can still let them try a little when it arrives at their home.
Xia Wen looked at the abundance of dishes in front of her, but didn't linger on the other meats; she went straight to pick up some vegetables to eat.
After taking a bite, she nodded repeatedly, "Mmm, it's so delicious! This is exactly the taste! Xiaoyu, you're amazing! This dish is really delicious."
Xia Shiyu shook his head as he looked at Xia Wen. "Sister, try the stir-fried eggs with chives and the chicken stew with mushrooms. The chickens and eggs are from our own farm, fed with rotten old leaves. They taste much better than what you can find in the market."
The chickens and ducks we raised at home haven't fully grown yet, but we had two or three chickens that we fed with vegetables for a while before, and they're all grown up now. Today, Xia Wen is coming to our house, so we specially slaughtered them to entertain her.
As for eggs, they are much easier to obtain. They have been eating them before, and the taste is indeed quite good. Although they are not as amazing as vegetables, they taste much better than the carefully cultivated ones on the market.
Xia Shiyu thought that he should find the pasture seeds as soon as possible so that he could improve the meat quality of chickens and ducks.
When Xia Wen heard that the chickens and ducks were raised on vegetables cultivated by Xia Shiyu, she immediately became interested.
She first picked up a piece of scrambled eggs with chives, and indeed, after taking a bite, she could tell that the eggs were different from those she had eaten before. Even though they were both free-range eggs, the ones in front of her tasted better and were more delicate.
I picked up another piece of chicken, and after taking a bite, I was pleasantly surprised. The chicken was not dry and had a good chewy texture. The juices were well absorbed, and there was no fishy taste at all.
The tender and juicy chicken melts on your tongue, its aroma permeating every strand.
Even the mushrooms served as a side dish are infused with the aroma of meat, creating a rich and mellow flavor.
Xia Wen was delighted by the food; it was a true feast for her taste buds.
With these delicious dishes, she even ate two large bowls of rice. She was particularly satisfied with the chicken and mushroom stew broth mixed into the rice, and only stopped when she couldn't eat anymore.
