Chapter 285 Lotus
Su Jinjin was completely unaware of the farce in her hometown.
She, Cheng Guyu and Ling Yun played in the living room for a while, and when they felt sleepy, they went for a nap.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, they got up, washed their faces and went to pick up the express delivery.
Comrade Su Beian and Ms. Bai Mengyan sent them freshly picked lotus pods.
These lotus pods are collected from people who grow lotus roots in my hometown. My family's shop buys a lot of lotus pods to make seasonal dishes.
Because these lotus pods were of good quality, Comrade Su Beian and Ms. Bai Mengyan thought of sending some to her and Guyu.
Su Jinjin only found out that the two elders had sent them something when she received a message on her mobile phone.
I sent five small boxes in total.
These are not just for Su Jinjin and Cheng Guyu, but also for others.
Comrade Su Beian and Ms. Bai Mengyan asked Su Jinjin to send one box to Teng Yiyi, one box to Zhang Yuanjie, and one box to Ling Yun. The remaining two boxes were for her and Guyu.
When Su Jinjin, Cheng Guyu, and Ling Yun went to pick up the package, they first called Teng Yiyi and Zhang Yuanjie to ask them whether they should have their share of lotus pods delivered to them immediately or leave them at her house first.
Because Su Jinjin didn't know whether they were at home and whether it would be convenient for them to receive the package, so she had to call and ask first. If it was convenient for them to receive the package, she would directly ask the courier to deliver it to them at the express delivery station.
Teng Yiyi and Zhang Yuanjie both chose to leave it at her house first, and go to pick it up tomorrow and visit Cheng Guyu by the way.
Su Jinjin, Cheng Guyu and Ling Yun took all five boxes of lotus pods back home.
Ling Yun's mother will come to pick him up in the evening, so the box of lotus pods given to him will be put aside for now and he can take it back when the time comes.
Su Jinjin opened two boxes for her and Guyu.
Cheng Guyu and Ling Yun had never seen a lotus seed pod before. After Su Jinjin opened the box, they picked it up curiously and observed it.
Ling Yun murmured as he watched, "This is what a lotus seed pod looks like."
"How do you eat this?" Cheng Guyu asked.
"Eat it like this. Break it open, take out the lotus seeds inside, peel off the outer skin, and then you can eat the flesh." Su Jinjin demonstrated to Cheng Guyu and Ling Yun.
She peeled out a white and plump lotus seed and stuffed it into Cheng Guyu's mouth: "Try it."
Cheng Guyu was stunned for a moment, then started chewing, and a faint sweet taste spread across his taste buds.
"Is it delicious?" Su Jinjin asked him with a smile.
Ling Yun also looked at him carefully as he savored the flavor.
"It's delicious." Cheng Guyu said after swallowing the lotus seeds in his mouth.
Seeing Cheng Guyu said it was delicious, Ling Yun immediately started peeling the lotus seeds himself.
The green outer skin was a little difficult to peel, so Ling Yun bit into it directly. After eating the sweet lotus seeds, his eyes lit up with joy.
I have never eaten anything with this flavor. It is sweet and refreshing.
Cheng Guyu also opened the lotus pod himself and peeled out the lotus seeds hidden inside one by one.
Su Jinjin went to the kitchen to get a vegetable basket, placed it next to the opened express box, and then sat down on the floor.
"These lotus pods can not only be eaten raw, but also used to make soup. We will use these lotus seeds to make soup tonight. So, when you peel lotus seeds to eat now, peel some and put them in this vegetable basket."
After hearing this, Cheng Guyu and Ling Yun nodded in agreement.
Seeing that the two little guys agreed, Su Jinjin took out the lotus pod she had just opened from the express box and peeled it.
After peeling a few lotus pods, Su Jinjin took out her cell phone, took a photo of the lotus pods in the express box, and sent it to Shang Fuzong.
Su Jinjin: Lotus pods sent from my hometown [Picture] [Picture]
Su Jinjin: We're going to have delicious lotus seed chicken soup tonight.
In the office, Shang Fuzong, who was listening to the director of the company's planning department explaining the directional development of the company's products, lowered his eyes and looked at the mobile phone beside him after hearing the message alert tone.
When he saw on the phone screen that the person who sent the message was Su Jinjin, he picked up the phone.
The head of the planning department didn't know whether to continue speaking for a moment.
Seeing Shang Fuzong making a stop gesture to him, he quietly exhaled and relaxed his shoulders which were tense from reporting work.
Then, he saw his boss, who always had an icy face, smile after picking up his phone.
Did they reach a deal with that big foreign company they were discussing recently? He wondered, seeing the boss was so happy.
But before, when we successfully discussed a bigger cooperation, the boss hadn't seemed so happy. What could be going on? The director of the planning department stole a glance at Shang Fuzong's facial expression, then looked down at his own leather shoes.
He hoped that Shang Fuzong would put down his phone quickly, let him finish explaining the next work to be done, and then let him leave the office quickly.
Although my boss is a nice person, I always feel it is difficult to report to the office every time.
Shang Fuzong was so focused on his phone at the moment that he didn't notice the series of small movements and psychological activities of the employee in front of him.
He thought carefully about how to better respond to Su Jinjin.
Every time Su Jinjin sent him a message, he would think carefully before replying.
His mother often said that he was a very serious person, always looked cold and distant, and gave people the impression that he was difficult to approach.
He didn't want to give Su Jinjin this impression, so he learned some humorous ways of replying on the Internet and replied to Su Jinjin's message.
After thinking carefully, Shang Fuzong's bony fingers typed quickly on his phone: I'm starting to look forward to it.
After sending this message, Shang Fuzong opened the emoticon package again, selected a suitable emoticon for free meals and sent it over.
Su Jinjin looked at the dog holding a bowl on the phone screen, laughed, and then typed: I guarantee you will be satisfied.
Then, she posted a photo of Cheng Guyu and Lingyun diligently peeling lotus seeds: Guyu and Lingyun are diligently peeling lotus seeds [Picture]
Shang Fuzong: Give them chicken legs in the evening.
Su Jinjin: Plus, give them bigger ones hahahahahahahaha.
After sending this message, Su Jinjin quickly typed another sentence: I want to join them too, you work hard first.
Su Jinjin knew that Shang Fuzong was in the office at this time and it was not appropriate to chat for too long.
She sent the message, not expecting Shang Fuzong to reply quickly. She just wanted to share it casually to show her presence.
Shang Fuzong replied and they chatted for a few more minutes.
After reading the latest message sent by Su Jinjin, Shang Fuzong was a little disappointed. Su Jinjin didn't want to chat anymore.
But thinking that he could go home from get off work after working for more than two hours, and tomorrow was the weekend, so he would have plenty of time to see Su Jinjin, he felt much better.
Putting his phone aside, Shang Fuzong raised his head and asked the director of the planning department who was still standing in front of him to continue reporting on his work.
