Chapter 80 Walking the Dog
Chapter 80 Walking the Dog
Xia Shiyu returned to her room and studied the Ice Flower.
The moment Xia Shiyu was brought out, she felt as if the indoor temperature had dropped, as if the air conditioning had been turned on.
Xia Shiyu picked up the pot of ice flower and looked it over. It turned out to be an indoor air conditioner.
Perhaps because of the frigid environment of the Arctic, polar bears did not discover this function of the ice flower and only regarded it as an ornamental food.
Xia Shiyu put down the Ice Flower, feeling a little regretful that it wasn't summer anymore; if it were hot, it could be used as an air conditioner.
Xia Shiyu curiously plucked off a petal and put it in her mouth; the petal melted instantly in her mouth.
The sweet-tasting ice water felt refreshing as it went down my throat.
"Phew, it's so cold." Xia Shiyu exclaimed. It was already quite cold at this point, so drinking this water would be quite icy.
She ate one piece and then stopped; it was getting too cold. She rubbed her arms and realized that her body was also feeling cold.
So this can also cool you down? That's amazing!
After playing for a while, Xia Shiyu put the ice flower back into the fairy tale world.
Then all we have to do is wait for the potatoes to arrive and plant them.
Xia Shiyu went downstairs and took a few steps when she suddenly received another phone call. "Hello, is this Xiaoyu?"
She asked curiously, "Yes, Auntie, what's wrong?"
Aunt's cheerful voice came out, "Hi, isn't it your sister Xia Wen who's back? She'd like to come visit you in a while, so thank you for your help."
Xia Wen also spoke into the microphone, "Xiao Yu, I'm coming to visit you for a while, and I'll bring you a gift then."
Xia Shiyu said with a smile, "Okay, Sister Xia Wen, just come when the time comes."
"Okay, don't worry, I'll be there."
Xia Shiyu ended the call after chatting with Sister Xia Wen.
She thought that her place might actually be developed into a farmhouse inn in the future, which would be great. After all, although it was remote, the scenery was quite nice and the vegetables were delicious, so she figured there would still be people willing to come and eat there.
I shook my head to stop thinking about it. There's still a lot of farm work to do. I've planted radishes and citrus, but I still need to keep an eye on the planting and make adjustments as needed.
But overall, she could leave all of this to her family, so she didn't need to worry about it much. She thought that she finally had some free time and wondered if she could go out and have some fun.
Just then, the owner of the "Royal Chef" steamed bun shop called her.
Minghua sat in his office feeling quite good, radiating joy.
"Hello, Mr. Xia. Have you been busy lately?"
Xia Shiyu patted the two puppies that ran over, "It's alright, just some farm work to do."
Minghua laughed heartily, jokingly saying, "Boss Xia's business is booming! If you develop any new products, don't forget me! We really need excellent suppliers like Boss Xia."
"Don't worry, I will, Mr. Ming. Is there anything I can help you with today?"
Xia Shiyu knew perfectly well that these bosses were usually very busy, and they would never suddenly come to chat with her if it weren't for business matters.
"Haha, Mr. Xia, you're still in a hurry. But I really have something to do today. We're going to hold a special food competition this Saturday, and our shop will be participating. So we hope you can come and have some fun when you have time."
After thinking for a while, Xia Shiyu readily agreed, "Oh, a food competition? That does sound interesting. I happen to have some free time lately, so I'll accept Mr. Ming's offer."
"Alright, alright, you're welcome to come visit us then, Mr. Xia!"
Xia Shiyu hung up the phone, feeling quite excited. It was a food competition, but she didn't think there would be many delicious dishes.
Xia Shiyu was filled with anticipation and even ran out to ask her family.
"Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Grandma, Mr. Ming, who I used to work with, invited me to participate in the city's food competition. I can go and have a look around then."
Yu Juan was quite surprised, "Really? That's really good."
"It's really good." Xia Lihua nodded as well.
However, despite saying that, neither my maternal grandparents wanted to go.
Grandma chuckled and said, "Xiaoyu, why don't you go play with your parents? We'll look after things at home."
Grandpa nodded, "Yes, you should go. We'll skip it."
The elderly weren't too keen on going, which troubled Xia Shiyu. However, she really wanted to go herself, so she could only say, "Alright then, I'll take Mom and Dad with me. I'll bring you some delicious food when we come back!"
"Okay, okay, I'll be waiting for your good news."
Xia Shiyu nodded happily. The day after tomorrow is Saturday, and she can go out and play soon.
Overjoyed, Xia Shiyu thought she could finally take her dogs for a walk. She had been busy recently, and the dogs had been either walked by other people or left to play by themselves. Now that she had some free time, she could take them out for a stroll.
"Let's go, Nuomi and Huangdou, let's go play."
Upon hearing their names, the two puppies immediately sat up and ran over.
Xia Shiyu took her two dogs out for a walk, and everyone she met greeted her along the way.
"Oh, Xiaoyu, are you going out to play?"
"Wow, these two dogs have grown so big."
"Where is Shi Yu going to play? Are you short of people to do work lately?"
Previously, most people in the village only knew her as someone's child, and some didn't even recognize her at all.
Now, everyone in the village knows her.
Some people find her food delicious and become loyal customers after just one bite, so they are very enthusiastic.
Some people felt they could find work there, so they treated her very well.
Of course, some people may disapprove of their behavior, but they generally won't give them a hard time unless things get really ugly.
Xia Shiyu nodded in agreement, and she would occasionally run into people going to her house to buy groceries along the way.
"Shiyu, are you going out for a walk?" Wang Xiu asked with a smile.
"Yes, Aunt Wang, you're back from the city."
"Yes, my daughter-in-law finished her postpartum confinement and I came back. But they still love the vegetables you grow, so I just went to buy some and send them to them."
"Okay, then you can just go there. My family is home, you can ask them to buy it for you."
"Okay, you go ahead, I'll just take a look around."
After Xia Shiyu finished speaking, he continued walking forward with the two puppies. The two puppies were grinning foolishly with their tongues hanging out, especially Nuomi, who wanted to taste everything she saw, and even wanted to swat at the little bugs on the road.
"Don't go too far, you two, especially Nuomi, you're too greedy."
Nuomi's ears drooped slightly after hearing the lecture, and it looked at its owner pitifully before continuing to run around and dig in the dirt, making no attempt to improve.
"Sigh," Xia Shiyu shook her head. Oh well, what could she ask the puppy to do?
