Volume 6: Summer Chapter 53 Sweet and Salty
Jiang You stuffed the blanket and pillow into Tang Butian's arms and said, "Okay, do as you please."
After saying this, he felt himself getting sleepy, so he turned and walked into the bedroom, threw himself on the bed, hugged the quilt, and felt himself sinking into the mattress.
Tang Butian walked downstairs carrying a blanket and a pillow and returned to the yard.
The sky was getting slightly brighter.
Tang Butian walked to the pomegranate tree and put the blanket and pillow on the swing.
Then she raised her head and saw clusters of red flowers swaying gently in the breeze. She stood on tiptoe slightly, reached out her hand, and picked a pomegranate flower.
She sat on the swing.
The body swayed slightly with the swing.
Raise your head.
The morning light shone gently through the leaves and flowers and fell softly on her face and body.
She suddenly felt a little sleepy.
At this moment, she saw something falling from the wall in the direction of the courtyard gate out of the corner of her eye. She turned her head and saw Jiang Mo standing by the wall.
He discovered that Tang was not sweet.
Tang Butian's body suddenly tensed up, she stood up, pomegranate flowers fell from between her fingers to the ground, and she clenched the wooden sword in her hand.
She saw a flash of red in Jiang Mo's eyes.
Jiang Mo walked towards her slowly. He walked very slowly, and seemed to be walking unsteadily. He stopped about two meters in front of Tang Butian. Tang Butian noticed that his eyes fell on the wooden sword in her hand.
Just as she was about to say something, the sky suddenly darkened. She subconsciously dodged to the side, but was still too slow. Countless spider silks entangled her wooden sword. She pursed her lips, turned her wrist, and pulled the wooden sword back. The wooden sword suddenly became illusory, and at the same time, the spider silks broke one by one.
Jiang Mo's fingers moved.
At this time, Tang Butian turned his body, and the wooden sword regained its physical form, with a dark light floating on the blade.
Tang Butian pressed the tip of the knife down and stabbed towards Jiang Mo.
Jiang Mo reached out and grabbed the wooden sword.
Tang Butian felt the wooden sword suddenly become hot. She looked into Jiang Mo's eyes, and the red pupils were beating.
excited.
She suddenly understood Jiang Mo's eyes.
Su Bai's fingers clenched the hilt of the knife, she closed her eyes, and sank into the air. The blade became illusory again, she jumped back, pulled the knife out of Jiang Mo's hand, and after spinning half a circle in the air, she leaned back to avoid a spider silk that shot towards her. She changed her moves, dodging the spider silk while cutting off the spider silk strands with the wooden sword.
The sword energy is overflowing.
Pomegranate flowers are falling.
Tang Butian opened her eyes and saw Jiang Mo standing in front of her. His eyes were fixed on her wooden sword...
Crunch.
She heard Yi Xueyuan, and then she saw Jiang Mo blink, the red in his eyes disappeared, and the spider silk around him also disappeared. She turned around and saw that the window of the master bedroom was pushed open.
Then a round-faced man poked his head out and yelled at them.
"I say, are you done yet? Are you going to let me sleep?"
Tang Butian was about to say something when he saw Jiang Mo yawning. He rubbed his eyes, stomped his feet lightly, and disappeared from the yard.
She thought for a second, picked up the blanket and pillow on the swing, rushed into the greenhouse, and lay down on the bed.
Peace returned to the yard.
Jiang You closed the window. He threw himself on the bed again, hugged the quilt, and fell asleep.
…
Five hours later, Jiang You finally woke up. After washing up and going downstairs, he found Lin Yu was already in the store. Tang Butian was sitting at the long table, chewing a black glutinous rice ball. He walked to the long table, rummaged through the food bag, and took out a rice ball and a bag of soy milk. He looked at Lin Yu and asked, "Have you eaten?"
Lin Yu said: "I have eaten."
So Jiang You sat opposite Tang Butian and started to eat breakfast with peace of mind.
"Next time you buy this rice ball, put a spoonful of sugar in it." Jiang You said while chewing.
"Do you want to buy something sweet?" Lin Yu was a little confused.
"No, just salty," Jiang You swallowed the food and drank a sip of soy milk. "Don't put pickled mustard tuber in it, just put fried dough sticks, and then put a spoonful of sugar, and you can put a salted duck egg yolk in it."
Tang Butian looked up at Jiang You.
"Really, it's delicious," Jiang You said to Tang Butian, "Why don't you try it? Sweet pancakes wrapped in fried dough sticks are also very delicious."
"Heresy." Lin Yu commented.
"Heretics always go to extremes. I eat both salty and sweet food together, which is called tolerance and harmony of yin and yang." Jiang You ate the rice ball in two or three bites, and drank the soy milk in one breath. Then he asked Tang Butian: "How are we going to go later? Should we go to the unit first, or go directly to the research institute? Do you know where the research institute is?"
"Let's go directly to Laojinshan." said Tang Butian.
"That's fine, we can have lunch before we go," Jiang You turned to Lin Yu, "I have something to do this afternoon, so I won't run."
"I understand." Lin Yu said.
Jiang You asked Tang Butian again: "Are the others going?"
"Guan Nuo moved with the institute."
"I'm kind of looking for some talent. I haven't seen you in a while."
After Tang Butian finished eating , Jiang You cleaned up the table, then went to the kitchen, heated a cup of milk and placed it on the counter. When he came out again, he stood by the door of the store for a while.
The yard was covered with fallen pomegranate flowers.
The sun was very strong and the flowers were a little shriveled.
He turned around and asked Tang Butian: "Isn't my courtyard gate good?"
Tang Butian walked up to him and said, "Very good."
After a few seconds, she asked again: "Have you been working on the courtyard gate recently?"
"I'm very busy," Jiang You looked at her and said, "Sister Nan's bookstore is going to hold a cultural street forum event. It's summer vacation now, and the first session was originally planned to be around July 10th. In the end, the contract was signed almost half a month later, and this was done through a backdoor. Mr. Xu has been busy recently, and there are so many things to do with promotional materials. I originally planned to try to summon Jiujiu again in early July, but I'm too busy and can't spare the time."
"Is the time set now?"
"Lecture hall? Let's schedule it for the 25th. As for the Chirp Chirp matter, we'll see. Fortunately, Boyang is busy recently, otherwise it would be hard to explain."
"What is the content of the forum?"
"It's about the history of Cultural Street. It's called history, but a lot of it is celebrity gossip. It's quite interesting. Do you want to come and listen?"
"On the afternoon of the 25th?"
"In the evening, from 7 to 8:30 p.m., an hour and a half."
"Okay," Tang Butian thought for a moment and added, "After listening to this, we can go to the basement of Jinguang Temple to practice swordplay."
"Then I will go to the park less often recently," Jiang You said.
"Why?"
"I'll take you there," Jiang You leaned against the door, "What if he holds a grudge against me and trips me while I'm running, and I end up falling flat on my face?"
