Chapter 757 About Winning an Award
Shen Xue Ning did not argue with Qin Yaoyao. She walked to Qin Zizhou's side and asked, "How many fish did you catch?"
Qin Zizhou pointed to Grandpa Qin's bucket and said, "I didn't catch anything, but Grandpa caught a big yellow croaker weighing more than three kilograms. I'll ask the chef to cook it later."
Shen Xue Ning walked over to take a look and couldn't help but praise: "Grandpa is really amazing."
Mr. Qin immediately laughed and said, "Fishing requires a calm mind and patience. Young people nowadays are too impetuous. It's difficult to catch fish."
Qin Zizhou took over the conversation: "Grandpa, I feel that my heart is quite calm."
Old Master Qin glanced at Qin Zizhou and said, "Why didn't you catch the fish? Why did you let it run away?"
Shen Xuening looked at Qin Zizhou: "Did your fish run away?"
Qin Zizhou coughed softly: "Yes, he ran away. He was clearly hooked, but he still ran away. It's a pity."
Shen Xue Ning comforted: "It's okay, it's still early, you can fish slowly."
Qin Zizhou drank a cup of tea: "After hearing what you said, I feel much better." He said to Old Man Qin, "Grandpa, don't always hit me down. I will definitely catch more fish than you in the end."
Old Master Qin did not argue, but said with a smile: "Then I will wait and see."
Wei Shuyu's voice came over: "Xue Ning, I want to ask you something."
Shen Xuening turned her head and asked, "What's the matter?"
Wei Shuyu asked directly: "Did you pick this tea from the mountain?"
Shen Xue Ning replied: "I picked them on the mountain, but I didn't pick them. My grandfather picked them. You should drink them. How is it? Is it delicious?"
Wei Shuyu praised it highly: "It is not only delicious, but also full of fragrance. I knew it was good tea before I even drank it."
Shen Xue Ning said: "This is what my grandfather picked in the mountains and roasted it himself after picking it. My grandfather's craftsmanship is very good, and everyone likes to drink the tea he roasts."
Wei Shuyu was a little surprised: "Did you really pick them from the mountain?"
Shen Xue Ning said: "Yes, there are many mountains around our village. There are many wild tea trees on the mountains. Many villagers go to the mountains to pick tea leaves."
Wei Shuyu became more interested in tea: "Do you pick a lot? Do you sell it to others?"
Shen Xue Ning shook her head: "Normally not, I always keep it for myself."
Wei Shuyu's regret was visibly evident: "You're not selling it?"
Shen Xue Ning said truthfully: "Yes, no one sells it to me, I eat it all myself."
Wei Shuyu said regretfully: "Such good tea, I wanted to buy some, but I didn't expect you guys wouldn't sell it, what a pity."
Seeing Wei Shuyu's disappointed look, Shen Xue Ning couldn't help but say, "I'll give you an idea, do you want to listen?"
Wei Shuyu pretended to listen attentively: "Go ahead."
Shen Xue Ning said: "You can buy nightshade flowers and add them to tea. The tea brewed this way will taste delicious no matter what kind of tea it is."
"Really?" Wei Shuyu was skeptical. Could a flower be so magical?
Qin Zizhou couldn't help but interrupt: "Will Xue Ning lie to you?"
Shen Xue Ning continued: "In addition to adding nightshade flowers to tea, they can also be used to make soup. The soup made from it is also very delicious. If you don't believe it, you can try it."
Old Master Qin said, "What Xue Ning said is true. We now add a nightshade flower to soup, and the soup tastes much better than normal."
Wei Shuyu nodded: "Then I'll try."
Shen Xue Ning said generously: "I will send you some dried nightshade flowers when I get back. You can try it first."
"Shall I buy it from the online store?" Wei Shuyu said as he took out his cell phone.
Shen Xue Ning pursed her lips and said tactfully: "You usually can't buy nightshade flowers in online stores. They are all snapped up, and they are gone after midnight."
Wei Shuyu paused: "Is it so tight?"
Qin Zizhou interjected: "It has always been in short supply."
Wei Shuyu opened the online store and found that the nightshade flowers were marked "sold out", so he compromised: "Then you can send it to me."
Shen Xue Ning nodded: "I will go back tomorrow and send it to you when I get back."
As soon as she finished speaking, Grandpa Qin caught another fish, a yellow croaker that was bigger than the first one and was jumping around. Qin Zizhou hurried over and put the fish into the bucket.
Wei Shuyu looked at the fish and said, "Old man, this is enough for you to eat."
"How can there be enough to eat?" Grandpa Qin continued to bait and then threw the fishing line into the water. "Zizhou's parents will be here soon, I will catch another one."
Wei Shuyu immediately said, "Can I have dinner with you guys later?"
Old Master Qin smiled and said, "Okay, let's go pick some dishes later?"
Wei Shuyu hurriedly said, "No need, I'll have someone bring it over. Why would I bother the old man to choose the dishes?"
As she was speaking, Qin Yaoyao came over with a fruit platter. She gave the first plate to Shen Xue Ning and the rest to the others. Then she sat next to Shen Xue Ning and ate the fruit with her.
Qin Yaoyao said: "Sister-in-law, you don't usually have much time to play, right?"
Shen Xuening nodded: "Yeah, I'm busy with work every day."
"It's really hard." Qin Yaoyao said again, "Actually, you don't have to work so hard. The money your cousin earns is enough for you to spend."
Shen Xue Ning shook her head: "He earns what he earns, and I earn what I earn. If I rely on her for everything, then I feel that there is no point in living."
Qin Yaoyao couldn't understand: "Is it so serious?"
Shen Xue Ning looked at the calm water and said, "I think everyone needs to achieve a certain value in life. My business is my value."
Qin Yaoyao thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "You are right."
Shen Xue Ning patted Qin Yaoyao's shoulder and said, "You are young now, so play more when you have time. When you graduate in the future, you won't have so much free time."
Qin Yaoyao said: "My major is business administration. When I graduate, I will go to work in my family's company."
Qin Zizhou's voice came over: "Have you thought about it?"
Qin Yaoyao said: "Yes, I have already thought about it, but cousin, if you have any better arrangements, you can tell me and I can listen to you."
Qin Zizhou hadn't considered Qin Yaoyao's affairs: "Let's arrange it this way first."
Qin Yaoyao responded: "Yeah."
……
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Qin's mother and Qin's father came together. Half an hour later, Qin Dianwen's parents also came.
I heard that the two elders were here, so I decided to come over and have dinner with them.
Father Qin was a very elegant and handsome uncle. He put down his things and immediately walked towards the river: "Dad, how much did you catch?"
Mr. Qin said cheerfully, "I caught four."
"Not bad, let's prepare a fish feast later." Qin's father stretched his head to see that they were all big fish. "Dad, what flavor do you want to eat?"
Mr. Qin replied: "I can do either."
Wei Shuyu said: "I have called the chef, and they will bring the food over soon. Just tell the chef what flavor you want and he will make it for you."
Qin Zizhou said: "Since it's a fish feast, just cook whatever you want. Anyway, all the fish that Grandpa caught will be eaten."
Father Qin walked towards Qin Zizhou and said, "You said your grandfather, where is the fish you caught?"
Qin Zizhou looked helpless: "I didn't catch any."
Father Qin couldn't bear to look at Qin Zizhou's tragic record, and couldn't help but say, "You give way, let me do it."
Qin Zizhou gave up his seat to Qin's father: "Dad, come on."
Father Qin was very confident: "I will definitely not be like you and not catch any fish at all."
Qin Zizhou didn't say much, and soon he knew: "Dad, if you catch a fish, I'll ask the chef to fry it for you later."
Qin's father was puzzled: "Why fry it?"
Qin Zizhou didn't intend to explain. He said, "Don't worry about it. Just fry it and eat it."
Father Qin was too lazy to ask any more questions: "You don't have the final say." He asked Shen Xue Ning, "Xue Ning, what flavor do you like to eat?"
Shen Xue Ning quickly replied: "I'm fine with anything. I'm not a very picky eater."
Qin's father thought Shen Xue Ning was embarrassed, so he said, "Xue Ning, feel more comfortable at home. We are all family, so there is no need to be so reserved and restrained."
Shen Xue Ning smiled slightly: "Uncle, I understand."
Father Qin said to Qin Zizhou: "The dishes for dinner will be based on Xue Ning's taste. It's a rare visit. Zizhou, did you hear that?"
Qin Zizhou responded: "I heard it, Dad."
While they were talking, the chef arrived. As the boss, Wei Shuyu went to the kitchen to make arrangements himself.
For dinner tonight, in addition to the fish they caught, there were also many precious ingredients that Wei Shuyu asked the chef to bring. He had to prepare a delicious meal to entertain the guests.
Qin Dianwen's father didn't like fishing, so he sat aside and drank tea: "This tea is delicious."
Mr. Qin asked, "Do you like this tea too?"
"I like it." Qin Dianwen's father took another sip, "Dad, where did you get this good tea? Why haven't I tasted it before?"
Old Master Qin was slightly proud: "This is what Xue Ning brought me."
"Xue Ning?" Qin Dianwen's father looked at Shen Xue Ning, "Xue Ning, is Dianwen still obedient to you?"
Shen Xue Ning smiled and said, "He is very obedient and works hard. He even won a prize in the previous competition. Didn't he tell you?"
Qin Dianwen's father raised his eyebrows, obviously curious about his son Qin Dianwen who was not doing his job properly: "He participated in the competition? And he got the prize money?"
Shen Xue Ning nodded: "Yeah, didn't he tell you?"
Qin Dianwen's father shook his head, a little puzzled: "No, he hasn't called me recently."
Shen Xuening looked at Qin Dianwen’s mother. His mother was a judge and knew about this. Didn’t she tell anyone?
Qin Dianwen's mother saw what Shen Xuening meant and explained, "I thought Dianwen had told his father, so I didn't mention it."
Qin Dianwen's father glanced at his wife and said, "Why didn't you tell me such an important thing?"
Qin Dianwen's mother quickly said, "It was my negligence for a moment."
Qin Dianwen's father took out his cell phone and called Qin Dianwen: "Dianwen..."
Qin Dianwen was suspicious: "Dad, why did you take the initiative to call me?"
Qin Dianwen's father coughed awkwardly and said, "I'm fishing with your grandfather and his family in the villa. I just mentioned that you won the award. Is that true?"
