"Inside please, inside please."

The warrior Xun smiled, "Li Qiu, it seems that it has not been half a month since I came to your place last time, right?"

This sentence almost choked Li Qiu to death.

Fortunately, Samurai Xun's main focus is on the back.

"We're here this time, and I want to trouble you with a small matter."

"It's the cherry tomato you gave Wu Jue last time, it's broken."

"So, this girl has been sad for a long time."

"I just don't know if you can give her a few more, will it affect you..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Qiu hurriedly bowed and saluted with a smile.

"My lord, what's the point of trivial matters?"

"Later, I'll pick a few more fruits and give them to Miss Wu Sui."

"And if Miss Wu Jue wants to be more interesting, she can go to the backyard and pick the cherry tomatoes from the seedlings by herself."

"It's more interesting that way."

After hearing what he said, Wu Jue also raised his head curiously and in surprise, "Li Qiu, is this really okay?"

Li Qiu smiled and nodded.

Chapter 30 Li Qiu and Wu Jue, the secret place of two people

Originally, before coming to Li Qiu's place, the warrior Xun was still muttering in his heart.

Worried that this request of his would involve the secrets of Li Qiu's shop, Li Qiu would shirk it.

Seeing Li Qiu being so generous now, he also laughed out loud.

"Haha, just right, I'm also curious about how your holy maiden fruit came out."

"We can go and have a look together in a while."

Li Qiu smiled and said it was natural, and invited their father and daughter in, asking what dishes to order today.

After a while, the food and drink were served at the warrior's side, but the warrior's expression was a bit sleepy.

The wine and dishes are complete, but there is a lack of someone to drink and chat with!

Although Wu Jue is clever and likable, she is not very interesting to talk to about her family.

Ever since, he also set his sights on Li Qiu.

"Li Qiu, I don't think your store is busy."

"Then sit down and have a drink or two with me and chat."

Li Qiu is not a precedent for the business of sitting there to eat and chat with him.

So Li Qiu didn't pretend, he sat down generously, poured wine for the warrior Xun, and started chatting with him.

This samurai Xun was born as a timber merchant in his early years, and he also traveled all over his life for most of his life, so he has a wide range of knowledge.

Therefore, most of the conversations he talked with Li Qiu were about the customs, scenery and landforms of various places.

And what surprised him greatly was that Li Qiu was able to keep up with the rhythm of what he said.

This is too unbelievable. The samurai Xun has traveled all over the world for more than half his life, and only has these insights and experiences.

But what about Li Qiu, how old is he?

Moreover, the samurai Xun mostly talked about the scenery and customs, while Li Qiu mostly talked about the fruits and delicacies of these places.

In this way, the small talk between the two of them complemented each other, and the more they chatted, the more speculative they became.

Until the end, the samurai Xun couldn't help being curious and emotional, "Li Qiu, I can't believe that you, like me, have traveled all over these regions."

"But where did you learn about this, and know so thoroughly about the delicacies of various places?"

Li Qiu smiled, "As the Duke said, I have not been to many of these places in person."

"However, in these years, I have come into contact with a lot of people from these places."

"Whenever I was chatting with these people, I paid more attention to the specialties of cuisines in various places, and some even asked them for advice to make these specialties by myself."

"In the early years, the kid was plagued by old illnesses, didn't go to private school, and had nothing to do, so he spent all his time on it."

After hearing this, the samurai Xun suddenly realized, "After a long period of time, you learned the best of hundreds of families, and you have this small restaurant today?"

"Your experience and insights are really interesting, interesting!"

"Speaking of which, there is one thing I want to tell you."

"About ten years ago, there was no girl named Wu Jue at that time."

"Once when I was leading people walking in Mobei, I saw a fairyland!"

"Hey, that's a wonderland!"

"Cloud steps and moon land, yao grass and strange flowers, Xuanxiao Danque, and fairy mountain pavilions are really amazing."

"The beauty of that fairyland is simply indescribable in words."

"Since I saw the fairyland that time, my luck has changed, and I have been prosperous ever since."

"This is an auspicious sign!"

Wu Jue has also seen many times about his father showing off the fairyland with his friends.

Every time, the Metropolis will attract some surprises and questions.

But under her careful observation, Li Qiu had no such reaction at all.

"Grandpa Guo is right. Seeing this beautiful fairyland is definitely a good omen."

"However, the kid has a different, very interesting view of this fairyland."

Hearing Li Qiu's words, the warrior Xun also became interested.

"Huh? What do you think, Li Qiu, tell me."

At this time, Li Qiu organized his language and spoke slowly.

"My lord, when it comes to this fairyland, although it is very difficult to find, there are still related records in the history books."

"It is said in the Tianguan book of Shiji that the mirage by the sea is like a tower, and the wild air is like a palace."

"Usually at the seaside or in the desert, it is easy to see fairyland-like castles in the air."

"As for this phenomenon, I also got an explanation from another angle from a businessman from the Western Regions I had contact with."

"It's probably a change in light called refraction."

Hearing this unfamiliar word, Wu Jue couldn't help frowning, "Refraction?"

Li Qiu nodded, then took his bowl full of wine, and put a chopstick in it.

"Miss Wu Jue, please look at the shape of this chopstick."

Wu Jue then stood up and watched carefully, and said in surprise, "The chopsticks are bent?"

At this time, Li Qiu took out the chopsticks again, and they naturally returned to their original shape.

Afterwards, Wu Jue shook his head in disbelief, and tried a few more times himself, and it was really like Li Qiu.

At this time, Li Qiu also explained to her, "Businessmen in the Western Regions are more exposed to glazed products, and many of their thinking and views are quite different from ours."

"Sometimes our eyes really can be deceiving."

Hearing Li Qiu's remarks and seeing his little experiment, the warrior Xun also smiled and expressed emotion.

"Li Qiu, it's really interesting that you understand by analogy."

"It's no wonder that your unnamed shop in a secluded location is getting better and better..."

In this way, with Li Qiu's company and chatting, the samurai father and daughter had a very comfortable meal.

At the end of the dinner, it was finally time for Wu Jue's long-awaited visit to the back house to watch the cherry tomatoes.

But at this moment, several officials and nobles who were familiar with the samurai Xun walked into the shop.

So he chatted with the warrior Xun.

There was no other way, the warrior Xun smiled and patted his daughter, telling her to follow Li Qiu to watch the cherry tomatoes first.

Ever since, it became Li Qiu and Wu Jue, getting along alone and going to the back house.

Li Qiuqian walked half a body forward politely, and Wu Jue also followed behind him silently without saying a word.

Originally, at the dinner table, when the samurai Xun was present, Li Qiu and Wu Jue also talked and laughed from time to time, which was quite natural.

But under the current atmosphere, for some reason, Li Qiu, who was walking in front, only felt that his throat was a little dry.

I want to speak and break the silence, but I always feel that it is difficult to speak.

And Wu Jue, who was behind him, unconsciously saw beads of sweat on his forehead.

Chapter 31 An Incomparably Correct, Wise and Martial Decision

After arriving at the backyard, Li Qiu gently opened the door and made a gesture of please.

"Miss Wu Jue, all the saint fruits are here, please."

Under Li Qiu's signal, Wu Jue walked slowly into the courtyard curiously, and was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him.

In the eyes, there are all green plants that are scattered and orderly, very neat and never seen before.

On top of these green plants, there are clusters of ruddy and crystal-clear cherry tomatoes.

"Wow, so many cherry tomatoes are really beautiful!"

While sighing, Wu Jue walked closer, and carefully touched the fruits and leaves as if they were treasures.

At this moment, she even felt that her eyes were shining.

At this moment, Wu Jue was much beyond his expectation, seeing Li Qiu's abrupt appearance, he stepped forward and grabbed a fruit from the holy girl's seedling.

The strength used is also a bit large.

It made Wu Sui feel distressed and exclaimed with some dissatisfaction.

At this time, Li Qiu took out a white silk handkerchief and handed it to Wu Jue together with the cherry tomatoes.

"I think cherry tomatoes that exude the smell of sunshine are the most delicious on sunny days and in the afternoon."

"Miss Wu Jue, you can try it."

Wu Jue took the silk handkerchief and holy maiden fruit, and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it as Li Qiu said. It really had a very unique fragrance.

Then, she hesitated for a moment, and she took a small bite gracefully under Li Qiu's gaze.

Immediately afterwards, it was delicious, showing a happy smile.

In the early autumn, in the afternoon, under the bright sunshine, holding the bright red cherry tomatoes, the beauty shown by the cardamom-aged Wu Jue deeply penetrated into Li Qiu's mind.

This picture is really beautiful.

How wonderful it would be to have a camera to freeze this moment forever.

On the other side, Li Qiu's very brief daze was still successfully captured by the keen Wu Sui.

Then she gave him another coquettish look.

"Although the cherry tomatoes are delicious at this time, I'm still a little bit reluctant to eat them."

Li Qiu smiled, "Although the flowers are beautiful, they will be gone in the blink of an eye."

"If it is made into dried petals, fine wine, sachets, etc., its fragrance and beauty may be remembered longer."

"The same is true for this cherry tomato. Only when people who love it eat it can they remember its deliciousness."

Later, under Li Qiu's suggestion, Wu Jue chose four or five of the most ruddy, most crystal clear, and favorite cherry tomatoes.

Then wrap it with the silk handkerchief Li Qiu gave her.

At this moment, Wu Jue suddenly raised his head to look at Li Qiu, with a hint of cunning in his clear eyes.
