Grandma Wu’s visit was not announced publicly.
But once soone heard the news, it spread from one person to another until many people knew about it.
After all, "I’ll tell you sothing, but don’t tell anyone else" is as unreliable as "I’ll tell you a fishing spot, but don’t bring anyone there."
Even before Grandma Wu arrived at the lon field, people were already standing on both sides of the road waiting to greet her.
Everyone quietly stood there in anticipation, gazing eagerly at the end of the road.
Soon, a very ordinary gray bus drove up, and seeing the convoy trailing behind, the people realized that the guest of honor must be coming!
As the bus window rolled down slowly, and the elderly lady with a head full of white hair appeared, a huge cheer erupted instantly.
To everyone’s surprise, this elderly lady, who was clearly suffering from dentia, waved cheerfully at the crowd!
So emotional people were even moved to tears.
As the elder got out of the bus and was seated in a wheelchair, she continued waving cheerfully as she was pushed towards the greenhouse. After the initial cheers, the scene turned quiet again, and everyone waved hard at the elder with silent smiles.
The staff had already promptly cut open so waterlons, ensuring they were simply refrigerated to reduce the heat for the elder’s health. The bright red pulp showed no trace of seeds.
Without needing any help, the elderly lady picked up a piece of waterlon and took a bite.
Based on her research, this latest variety grown this ti has higher sweetness, larger yield, and better taste. After just one bite, the elder cheerfully said, "It’s fragrant, sweet, and the color is beautiful."
To the researchers in the greenhouse, this praise sounded like heavenly music, as if they had received recognition from the grandmaster.
In fact, the elder could indeed be considered the grandmaster of this field.
The elderly lady put down the waterlon, her slightly cloudy eyes fixedly looking at the greenhouse, "I like Great Border’s lons, my life’s wish is to have more lons ripe, to offer their sweetness to the people."
The old lady’s energy was limited after all, and after trying the waterlons and cantaloupes, the day’s schedule ca to an end.
...
"Mr. Wang, can we start preparing the al?"
Bai Zongchen’s secretary, Shayif Khan, had returned to the guest house ahead of ti to monitor Wang Fan’s progress.
Wang Fan nodded, "Just let know two minutes before the elder enters."
Shayif Khan replied, "In 5 more minutes."
Wang Fan said no more, opened the fridge, and brought out so old-style Waterlon Juice that had already set.
The Waterlon Juice in the bowl was crystalline like jelly, and as Wang Fan moved, it wobbled rhythmically.
Shayif Khan glanced at the Waterlon Juice in the bowl and nodded to himself; beneath Mr. Wang’s great reputation, indeed lay true skill.
Wang Fan checked the bowls on the tray, picked out the best one, and using a knife, evenly cut the Waterlon Juice into small cubes.
He stirred a long spoon in sugar water with mint, scooped out a spoonful, and drizzled it over the Waterlon Juice, as if dressing it in a cooling silk garnt.
The sugar water seeped down into the Waterlon Juice, leaving a thin layer on top after finishing, with the pink Waterlon Juice adorably shining through the transparent sugar water. Wang Fan placed a small tuft of mint at the center of the bowl, causing ripples to spread across the surface.
Wow!
Shayif Khan couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
Are you performing magic tricks here?!
When you first brought it out, I already felt that it looked fancy, how did you manage an ultimate transformation at the end?
Moreover, as I watched the pieces you cut, the gaps disappeared after you poured the sugar water over - are you doing magic for ?
Wang Fan said, "Mint Waterlon Juice, you can serve it to the elder as a refreshing dessert before the al."
Shayif Khan shook his head internally, brushing away his scattered thoughts, "Okay, the weather’s indeed very hot today, the elder is physically frail, and we can’t set the air conditioning too high. This bowl of Waterlon Juice should make her feel better."
So things may look delicious but aren’t, while others may not look appealing yet taste great, but this one before , both visually and in sll, I know for sure is scrumptious. The only pity is that there doesn’t seem to be a portion for myself.
Carrying the Waterlon Juice on a wooden tray out of the kitchen, each step made ripples in the sugar water atop it, so Shayif Khan slowed his pace to avoid spilling any.
The elder in the room seed a bit weary, with sweat on her wrinkled forehead. The attendant beside her gently wiped away the sweat from ti to ti.
Shayif Khan reached the door to find his boss waiting there, quickly handing over the tray, "Boss, this is the Mint Waterlon Juice as a pre-al dessert. It’s not too cold and can help cool off. The main course will be ready in 3 more minutes."
It took him about two minutes to walk from the kitchen.
Bai Zongchen nodded and took the tray, "Please go fetch Mr. Wang over here once more."
Shayif Khan nodded again and headed back towards the kitchen, while Bai Zongchen entered the room carrying the tray.
The elder curiously glanced towards the tray, finding the clear and bright red color very appealing, and a faint smile returned to her face.
Bai Zongchen placed the tray on the table in front of the elder and smiled, "Teacher Wu, try this Waterlon Juice; it’s also made from the waterlons you cultivated."
The elder nodded with a smile, "Good, good."
She then reached out, picked up a spoon, and gently scooped a spoonful from the bowl.
Though the Waterlon Juice resembled jelly, it was even softer. With a slight pressure, a small piece was scooped up, sugar water flowed down wrapping the Waterlon Juice on the spoon, the sparkling surface bead faintly alluring brilliance.
The elder raised the spoon to her mouth and lightly sipped, sending the Waterlon Juice and mint sugar water instantly into her mouth, a cool, refreshing sensation spread from her mouth to her entire head, seemingly clearing her thoughts.
The refrigeration temperature wasn’t too low, but the addition of mint indeed was the perfect touch.
The Waterlon Juice, surprisingly smooth, directly lted under a gentle press with the tongue, its delicate and sweet flavor causing the elder’s eyes to slightly squint in sheer bliss.
The minty’s crispness seamlessly blended with the Waterlon Juice’s honeyed taste, intertwining and dancing joyfully on her tongue. The combination of coolness and sweetness felt like standing where a cool breeze blew atop a mountain, bringing about a touch of refreshnt and ease.
"It’s really delicious."
After saying so, the spoon again reached into the bowl.
The elder’s words lifted the spirits of everyone in the room as, ordinarily, she did not have a good appetite, yet today she seed willing to eat a bit more than usual.
