[Recite the Situ website silently three times. Do you remember it? If you don’t remember, I’ll ask again in the next chapter. It’s best to share it on Facebook for me]

Du Mengnan, Guan Bingtong, and Liu Fengying who came over also saw changes in the villagers' expressions. In their understanding, people choose fully ripe tomatoes when buying tomatoes, but now Zhao Xinyu wants tomatoes that are not fully mature and have a specific shape. This Let them wonder too.

"Zhao Xinyu, are these half-ripe tomatoes really delicious?" Liu Fengying whispered from behind the wheelchair.

As soon as Zhao Xinyu raised his head, their faces touched each other instantly. Liu Fengying's pretty face blushed slightly, but she did not move away.

Zhao Xinyu smiled faintly and looked at Du Mengnan and Guan Bingtong, "You must have always thought that tomatoes taste best when they are fully ripe, right?"

"When tomatoes are raw, they are sour and astringent. When they are ripe, they are sour and sweet. When they are ripe, they are even sweeter. Everyone buys ripe tomatoes. Some people buy half-cooked tomatoes. Half-cooked tomatoes are used for cooking and cooking. It’s all sour.”

Zhao Xinyu chuckled, "Have you ever eaten tomatoes that are 70% or 80% ripe?"

Zhao Xinyu asked this question, and the three of them were shocked. Tomatoes are an indispensable vegetable in people's daily lives. Before they met Shipei, because tomatoes have the effect of losing weight and beautifying, they used them every day. They all eat a few tomatoes, but they only eat ripe tomatoes. They have never eaten seven- or eight-ripe tomatoes.

When the three of them were surprised, a villager came out of the tomato field carrying two bags and said, "Xinyu, what do you want with so many tomatoes that are 70% or 80% ripe?"

Zhao Xinyu smiled, took the bag, and took out a tomato from it. The tomato was slightly triangular in shape.

He picked it up and took a bite. Although it was not as sweet as ripe tomatoes, it was juicy and refreshing. Although it was slightly sour in the mouth, there was a hint of sweetness in the sourness and a unique flavor. The most important thing was that the tomatoes contained There is a trace of vitality that tomatoes did not have in the past.

"Delicious?" Du Mengnan looked at Zhao Xinyu and asked with a hint of surprise.

Zhao Xinyu laughed and pointed at the bag, "You'll know after you try it."

Du Mengnan, Guan Bingtong, and Liu Fengying took a tomato with a hint of surprise and took a small bite. The sweet and sour juice made all three of them's eyes light up at the same time. The taste of these half-cooked tomatoes was really special, although it contained a hint of sourness. But it gave them the urge to take another bite.

After finishing a half-pound tomato, the three of them stared at the red juice on their hands. They were all surprised, how could they eat a half-cooked tomato, and they seemed to have an urge.

Watching Du Mengnan and the other three eat a tomato, the villagers who had just picked tomatoes were also surprised, and their eyes fell on the bag in Zhao Xinyu's hand.

Zhao Xinyu just hurriedly covered the bag and said, "If you want to eat, you can pick it from the fields. I have to take these back."

The villager laughed and turned around to enter the tomato field. Not long after he entered the tomato field, several other villagers also came out of the field carrying two large bags of tomatoes.

Several villagers were slightly startled when they saw the two bags in Zhao Xinyu's hands, "Xinyu, these ripe tomatoes don't taste fresh."

Zhao Xinyu laughed and asked Du Mengnan and the others to take the bags and hang them on all the hooks of the wheelchair. Du Mengnan and the others could carry the bags.

Seeing Zhao Xinyu and the four people leaving surrounded by a pack of wolves, the villagers shook their heads. Suddenly they heard movement in the field, turned around and saw their companions munching on a tomato, and holding several more in their arms. This made them stunned.

"Jianguo, you..."

Cao Jianguo laughed, "It's delicious, it's really delicious. No wonder Xinyu picked half-ripe tomatoes. These tomatoes taste better than ripe ones."

In Wenying Pavilion, Luo Xiao and the others were eating the half-ripe tomatoes that Zhao Xinyu and the others had brought back. Their eyes were full of disbelief. They really didn't expect that Ou Zhe's half-ripe tomatoes tasted no less than ripe tomatoes, and The taste seems better.

"Zhao Xinyu, how do you know these half-ripe tomatoes are delicious?" Du Mengnan took a bite of the tomato and said softly.

Zhao Xinyu blushed and scratched his head with a strange expression, which made Liu Fengying immediately notice something different.

She sat next to Zhao Xinyu, put her arm around Zhao Xinyu, "Talk."

Zhao Xinyu chuckled, "Actually, not all the half-ripe tomatoes taste good. Only the triangular ones we picked taste the best. The other half-ripe tomatoes are really sour and not as delicious as the ripe ones. "

"Then how did you know?"

Shipley looked a little embarrassed, "Is it okay if I don't tell you?"

"No." Du Mengnan and the others also saw the clues this time and said softly.

"When I was a child, my family was poor. What fruits were available in the village at that time? They only had sour apricots. If there was nothing to eat, I would go to other people's yards to secretly pick tomatoes. If I picked a lot of tomatoes, I would know which kind of tomatoes taste good and how ripe the tomatoes taste. most."

Hearing what Zhao Xinyu said, the whole family couldn't help but feel happy. Du Mengnan and the other three were laughing so hard, while Meng Lie and Meng Feiyan had very complicated expressions. If there hadn't been that accident, why would Zhao Xinyu be in the village? Suffered so much.

"So you burned potatoes last year too..."

Zhao Xinyu laughed and said, "This is called accumulation of experience. If you do it more, you will naturally master the tricks. You must have learned from the oil seller."

Du Mengnan chuckled, "It turned out that you were not honest even when you were a child."

Zhao Xinyu shook his head, "Children of poor people have long been in charge. At that time, they had no food, so they had to find their own solutions. Not to mention me, at that time, even girls were just like us."

Everyone was stunned again. People have always known that children in rural areas mature precociously, and no one knew the reason. Only today did they know that it was not that someone was teaching them, but because of their living environment, they had never matured very early. From an early age, he began to do things that city children would never do. Perhaps when Zhao Xinyu and the others were burning potatoes and stealing tomatoes, city children were still in the arms of their parents.

"Isn't there anyone who cares about you?"

"The adults in the family are busy doing farm work, so they don't have time to take care of these things. Besides, tomatoes and potatoes are grown at home and are not valuable. In many cases, even the adults won't say anything when they see it."

Hearing what Zhao Xinyu said, everyone immediately thought that in recent years, no matter what the price is outside, the first people to eat Xihanling's products are often the villagers. Many times Zhao Xinyu will say something, What he grows at home is not valuable. It turns out that he got these from the villagers.

"What else do you know?"

Zhao Xinyu laughed, "Burn corn, potatoes, beans, eggs, wheat ears..."

Zhao Xinyu spoke very calmly, but Du Mengnan, Guan Bingtong, and Liu Fengying all opened their eyes wide with curiosity. Even Wang Qing and Meng Feiyan, who were in their forties and fifties, had eyes full of surprise. People have always looked down on rural areas, but what Zhao Xinyu said is really a life that city people have never experienced before.

"There are no beans or corn in the village this year. Let's bring some back and burn them."

Zhao Xinyu chuckled, "It's not the time for corn these days, nor for pods. When it's edible in a few days, I'll teach you how to cook it."

Liu Fengying chuckled, "It's not time for corn and beans yet, and we don't have eggs at home. Let's boil some eggs to try."

"How to burn eggs." Du Mengnan looked at Zhao Xinyu.

"You need to mix the eggs with puree."

"Go and make mud quickly, just do what you did when you were kids." Du Mengnan pushed Zhao Xinyu.

Zhao Xinyu was shocked and looked at Du Mengnan with a strange expression, "Mengmeng, you also know that there is water in the mountains over there, but there is no water outside the mountains. When we were young, there were wells, and we didn't dare to go to the wells. Many times They all use urine and mud, so you must cook the eggs the way we did when we were kids."

"It's disgusting. How can we eat it?" Du Mengnan spat, her pretty face turned red. She couldn't imagine how to eat the eggs wrapped in mud in urine and finally cooked.

"Mom, I have to pee." Zhao Huaian ran to Du Mengnan and raised his little face to look at Du Mengnan.

Du Mengnan's head darkened, and he glared at Zhao Xinyu speechlessly, "Look, you taught me this."

Liu Fengying and Guan Bingtong held their stomachs and laughed, "Mengmeng, Huai'an is a child's urine."

Looking at Du Mengnan's pretty face full of anger, Zhao Xinyu laughed and said, "Huai'an, Mingcheng, Mingzhi, Wanting, let's go, I will take you to Heni."

Du Mengnan's pretty face turned cold, "How dare you."

Zhao Xinyu laughed. He opened the door and went out without saying anything. The four little guys were like four little tails, jumping up and down and followed Zhao Xinyu away.

"This guy really won't let Huai'an and the others..." Guan Bingtong's eyes widened, filled with disgust.

Liu Fengying chuckled and said, "He is teasing you. He just said it. At that time, the conditions were limited and there was no running water. Now it is more convenient. How could he use that thing with mud? Come on, let's go out and have a look."

When the three of them went out, they saw Zhao Xinyu making mud. When they got closer, the three of them smelled a strong smell of herbs.

After seeing the three people coming, Zhao Xinyu laughed and looked at Zhao Huaian, Meng Mingcheng, and Meng Mingzhi, "Is there any urine left?"

The three little guys shook their heads and said, "Dad, I just finished peeing and can't pee."

"Zhao Xinyu, you really mixed mud with urine." Du Mengnan looked at the mud in Zhao Xinyu's hand with a cold face, his eyes full of disgust.

Liu Wanting, who was squatting next to Zhao Xinyu, raised her head and looked at Du Mengnan, "Mom, dad didn't use urine and mud, brother and the others were all peeing over there."

Du Mengnan couldn't help but was speechless. He walked up to Zhao Xinyu and kicked Zhao Xinyu on the butt. Liu Fengying and Guan Bingtong laughed so hard that this guy teased Du Mengnan.
