Chapter 301: Chapter 143: Borders and Squatting Together in Jail_2
And Gu Jiuyue not only understood but also could deduce by analogy.
"You’re definitely part of my plan," she said.
She suddenly turned her head, her eyes brightly fixed on Su Huai.
"Su Huai, are you willing to help me?"
Good lord!
How did I get dragged into this and wrap myself up in it?
Gou Huai meekly agreed, "Of course, I’m willing to help you, but it also depends on what it is..."
Your family matters are definitely a no-go!
Gu Jiuyue didn’t think too deeply, smiled sweetly, and hopped forward a bit.
"Boss, how much are you selling these candied hawthorn sticks for?"
It was clear that she was in a very good mood, bold enough to ask the price herself.
"Beauty, those over there are for 15, hawthorn and dates are 10 yuan!"
The stand owner was a middle-aged man, who couldn’t help grinning when he saw Gu Jiuyue, but that didn’t stop him from spinning his bargaining rod round and round.
"Should I try to haggle?"
She turned back to ask Su Huai, then without waiting for an answer, she gestured with her thumb and index finger to form an eight.
"I want one hawthorn stick, would 9 yuan be okay?"
The vendor looked at her gestures, then looked at her, and with a suppressed laugh, nodded, "Forget 9 yuan, take it for 8 yuan!"
She picked out a candied haw stick with big, round berries joyfully, still oblivious to the problem at hand.
Turning to Su Huai, she bragged, "Look, did I pick a good one?"
"Very good, very good!"
She carefully counted the hawthorns, quickly deciding on how to divide them.
"The candied haw doesn’t need to be cut, I’ll eat two, you eat four, and the remaining six we’ll give to Sister Wu and the others..."
Sister Wu and Andy, one in front and one behind, stayed out of the youngsters’ business; even hearing the conversation, they pretended not to and just grinned, enjoying the show.
Laughing, Su Huai continued to indulge her, "If it’s tasty, you can have three. If it’s not, just one is fine."
Gu Jiuyue’s eyes began to twinkle with stars.
Wow!
How could there be such a considerate friend?
She nodded immediately, "Okay, then I’ll have to trouble you!"
Then, without hesitation, she licked her lips and bit into the top one.
However...
The result was clearly disappointing.
Her brows furrowed, and she awkwardly asked Su Huai with her mouth agape, "Aren’t candied haws supposed to be really tasty? Why..."
Su Huai took a bite and quickly shook his head.
Indeed, it was subpar.
He could guess some of the reasons why.
"Sanya’s weather is too hot, so when making candied haws, a large amount of glass candy and gelatin must be added to make the syrup harder and less likely to melt. However, the fruit inside is still affected by the weather, resulting in a sour and astringent taste with a dull sensation.
In the North, candied haws are generally eaten in winter. At negative 20 degrees Celsius, you don’t need to add anything when coating them with syrup, making them crisp. The fruit inside freezes to a texture like granita, icy, sour, and sweet, naturally tastier..."
Gu Jiuyue listened and nodded, admiringly looking at Su Huai.
"You know so much!"
Stop flattering me, can’t you keep your emotions in check a bit?
Unable to suppress a smile, Su Huai nonchalantly took on matters: "Next time you have the chance, come to the Northeast and I will treat you to the best ice candied haws!"
"Okay!"
Gu Jiuyue didn’t waste the opportunity, promptly making a plan, "I’ll come visit you during the winter vacation!"
Su Huai’s head buzzed on the spot, wishing he could slap himself.
Damn it, who asked you to run your mouth off?!
Winter in Heilongjiang drops to nearly 30 degrees below zero, and even people from Liaoning find it unbearably cold, so why on earth would you bring a delicate chick over there?!
If anything goes wrong, even suicide won’t be enough to compensate!
Gou Huai felt like taking back his words immediately, but of course, that would not be appropriate. He could only muster a forced smile to deal with the situation: "Mm-hmm, you must visit if you have the chance, but of course, it also depends on your health..."
"Haven’t you noticed that I’m a lot healthier now?"
Gu Jiuyue might not care, but Su Huai had to.
He thought: How novel, I take you out for morning exercise every three days, and I haven’t noticed?
Of course, he couldn’t let on.
"It’s even better to be healthier. Visiting our place really requires good physical strength and endurance. You’ll need to work hard for what’s coming up."
Turn the situation from passive to active, from disadvantage to advantage, a man-god with high EQ, never stepping into pitfalls!
And then she came up with, "Then after we get back, we’ll increase the frequency. From now on, you come to my house every morning to call me."
She said it as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Su Huai certainly didn’t mind exercising with her, but why did this sinking feeling feel so familiar?
Watching the two of them, one dodging, the other chasing, the dodger brainstorming, and the chaser blissfully unaware, Andy and the little nurse in the back couldn’t help laughing to death.
Su Huai heard the laughter, which felt incredibly piercing.
But thinking of the little nurse’s skilled knife skills, Gou Huai felt as though his hemorrhoids were about to flare...
Can’t provoke them?
Even if I can’t provoke, I can’t let you guys enjoy the spectacle!
Gou Huai quickly handed over the candied haw stick, "Andy, have a taste..."
Andy’s expression dramatically changed.
The green tea Su Huai promptly came online: "This is a candied haw stick that Gugu personally bargained for, sister, you taste it!"
As Gu Jiuyue turned her expectant gaze toward her, Andy, with a martyr-like attitude, took the skewer and bit into it fiercely.
While biting, she glared at the little scoundrel’s back of the head.
Unfortunately, Su Huai was far from being scared.
Jokingly, "At the Cheng Family, I’m second in command, even Old Scratcher who fights wolves is a bigger deal than you guys!"
Laughing and joking, they continued walking forward—Gu Jiuyue and Su Huai laughing and joking, Andy and the little nurse walking forward with worried expressions.
Not far out, a commotion erupted from behind.
The previously beaten Korean, accompanied by the security staff from the night market, came looking for them.
