"Mmm, it tastes good," Xia Shiyu said with satisfaction.
Then I transferred the rice noodles from the casserole to a small bowl, so that they could cool down slightly before savoring them.
Xia Shiyu and her mother happily enjoyed the delicious rice noodles, while on the other side, the residents who had bought radishes also began their celebration.
Chen Aiying happily carried a bag of radishes home, and Chen Wenwen was pleasantly surprised to see so many radishes.
"Mom, you're amazing! You actually bought so many radishes."
Chen Aiying waved her hand, somewhat proudly, "Hey, I managed to snatch this by being quick! The competition was fierce back then."
"Yes, Mom is really amazing," Chen Wenwen praised.
Then she went to help peel the radishes so they could taste them today.
While the two were stewing the radishes, Chen Wenwen took out her phone and saw that someone was still posting photos and videos in the WeChat group. It was absolutely devastating!
[Xia Xia's Vegetable Selling Group]
[Oh, Mr. Xia, these radishes are absolutely delicious! I couldn't wait to cook them; they're so good even eaten raw!]
[Yes, yes, look how fragrant and sweet my stewed radish is.]
My radish pancakes were delicious too.
[These radish leaves are delicious too; they're great for stir-frying with other greens.]
Various posts about radishes started appearing in WeChat groups.
This made the others who didn't manage to buy any extremely jealous. Looking at the white radishes in the picture, tears streamed down their faces.
[You guys went too far! How could you buy so many radishes? They were all gone when I got there.]
[I don't think your radishes are of good quality. I suggest you send some over so I can take a look.]
[This is outrageous! It's one thing to eat it yourself, but to post it online is quite another.]
[It was so crowded today, I barely managed to squeeze in and only managed to grab a few.]
Sitting on the sofa, Zeng Qi saw everyone's complaints and then looked at Luo Bo next to him, and couldn't help but show off a little.
[Hehe, heroes are as numerous as carp crossing a river; I only managed to snag these carrots by sheer luck.]
After Chen Wenwen saw Zeng Qi's message, she also saw a picture showing nearly 30 radishes.
"Wow, that's a lot! That's amazing."
When Chen Aiying came out of the kitchen, she heard Chen Wenwen say this and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Wenwen handed her phone to her mother and said, "Mom, look how many radishes this person has grabbed."
When Chen Aiying saw that the young man's profile picture was of himself, she immediately realized who it was.
"Oh, I know this young man. He was really pushing hard when we were all grabbing the vegetables."
Chen Aiying was deeply impressed by this young man. After all, when she was competing with a group of people to buy radishes, most of them were middle-aged and elderly people. Only this young man, with his height and weight, squeezed in like a slippery eel to grab the radishes.
And he was also very generous, taking more radishes than she did, and his hands never stopped moving when he was handing out money.
Chen Wenwen couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, that's amazing! But Mom, you're great too, you're so strong. If it were me, I probably wouldn't have gotten anything."
"Hey, no need for all that. Let's have some raw radishes first. They look pretty good."
"it is good"
……
As expected, after Zeng Qi posted the message in the group, he received a lot of envious and jealous emojis and comments.
He grinned wickedly. "Hmph, he's the kind of guy who can beat old ladies and gentlemen. Who can compare to him? He got all these radishes by sheer force."
After his initial excitement subsided, Zeng Qi looked at the pile of radishes on the ground and thought he could eat them all for a month, one a day!
It's a pity that the radish will wilt a bit after a month, and the taste may not be as good as it was at the beginning, but it's still pretty good.
But even with that thought, he still had to send some to his mother. After all, his parents had been too busy to go to the market lately, and he bought so much because he wanted his family to eat it together.
So he packed up and went to find his parents. His parents hadn't returned yet, so he put the radish in the kitchen and went home.
When I got back to my apartment complex, I ran into my friend at the entrance.
"Chess piece, chess piece!" Zeng Qi looked up in surprise when he heard his nickname and looked around to see who was calling him.
He looked up and saw a familiar face. He exclaimed in surprise, "Huang Long, what are you doing here?"
Huang Long ran over happily and patted him on the shoulder, "I just moved here these past two days, I didn't expect to see you here."
Zeng Qi patted Huang Long on the shoulder, "That's great, then we can see each other more often and go out together."
He and Huang Long were high school classmates, and they had always had a good relationship. They even met up several times during summer vacations in college and kept in touch regularly.
So there was no awkwardness or unfamiliarity during this meeting; on the contrary, the two of them walked up together.
Zeng Qi asked, "By the way, which floor were you on again?"
Huang Long: "I'm on the 6th floor, what about you?"
Zeng Qi nodded, "That's very convenient, I'm on the ninth floor."
Huang Long then extended an invitation, "Okay, by the way, Qi Zi, why don't you come over for dinner tonight? I'm moving to a new house and I was planning to invite a few friends over for dinner, many of whom you know. Why don't you come over for dinner together tonight?"
Zeng Qi hesitated. He didn't particularly like crowded occasions, but Huang Long was his friend after all, and Huang Long said that he knew most of the other people, so he didn't know what to say.
Huang Long tried to persuade him a few more times, "Hey, it's alright, just come over. What's the problem? It's just a meal. After we eat, we can all have some fun."
Zeng Qi agreed after hearing this, "Okay then, I'll come over tonight."
"it is good"
After making their agreement, the two parted ways.
Zeng Qi returned to his room and casually picked up half a radish and started munching on it. The radish was really delicious; if the situation hadn't prevented it, he would have finished it in one go.
He ate a radish and returned to his room. Finding nothing to do, he simply sat down and played video games. After finishing the game, he took a nap.
When I woke up, I found it was already past 5 o'clock. Huanglong downstairs should be cooking, so I decided to go down and help him out.
He got up, looked around, and then took a bag, put three radishes in it, and carried it downstairs.
When they came down, Huanglong had indeed started cooking, and there were other people in the house helping.
Zeng Qi walked in, and Huang Long happily came out to greet him, "Qi Zi, you're here! Come in quickly."
Others who recognized Zeng Qi couldn't help but greet him, "Zeng Qi is here."
"Zeng Qi, come over here quickly."
"Okay," Zeng Qi agreed and walked inside, saying to Huang Long, "These are radishes I bought at the market today. They taste really good. Let's cook them together later."
Huang Long happily accepted it, "Great, it's good that you brought your own food."
