After the wood spirit root awakens, you will reap what you sow and bring it to the motherland

Chapter 37 First meeting

The man followed Minghua, his steps calmly and gracefully, as if every step was on the node of time.

The first thing that caught Gu Mingzhu's eyes was that gentle yet extremely handsome face.

His skin was as white as mutton-fat jade, delicate and smooth, exuding a warm luster.

Two sword-like eyebrows slanted into the temples, as black and thick as ink, and the slightly upward arc just added a bit of heroic spirit.

A pair of long and narrow eyes, like a deep lake, calm and mysterious.

Under the high nose bridge, the lips are slightly thin, but the lines are beautiful, the lip color is pink, with a faint natural blush.

His fingers were long and slender, with distinct joints, like carefully carved works of art.

When he raised his hand and pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, Gu Mingzhu felt that time had stopped in an instant.

But the next second, she frowned slightly again.

The original owner was not a flower maniac, and neither was she.

Why did her brain seem to crash when she saw him?
Just when she was a little confused, the man strode over and extended his hand to her like a gentleman:
"Hello, Miss Gu. My name is Song Ze. I am the deputy section chief of the Ministry of Agriculture. Section Chief Sun asked me to come here to record the growth of the seedlings."

When Gu Mingzhu heard this, she quickly said, "I'm sorry, I was busy planting strawberries today and didn't pay attention to the seedlings over there."

In fact, she has been either selling vegetables or supervising the progress of the new greenhouse these days, and has no time to take care of anything else.

But Wang Xiulian would help her check on the situation in the greenhouse every day.

She said that the seeds have not sprouted yet, but the seedlings have recovered.

Now that Song Ze wanted to record it, she didn't waste any words and said directly: "It's so late, let's eat first, and then we can go to the greenhouse to check the seedlings after dinner."

Gu Minghua nodded quickly after hearing this: "Yes, if I don't eat, my stomach will start to growl."

Song Ze was a little embarrassed at first.

But Liu Xi also said he wanted to stay for dinner. He was not very familiar with Liu Xi, but they had met several times.

With Liu Xi around, he felt much more relaxed.

Gu family.

Gu Minghua was doing his homework, while Liu Xi and Song Ze were helping Gu Mingzhu in the kitchen.

Originally, Gu Mingzhu asked the two of them to sit in the living room and wait.

But Liu Xi is a person who can't sit still.

He either comes over to help pick vegetables or help wash the pot.

Seeing that he was spinning like a top, Song Ze felt embarrassed to just sit there and do nothing, so he went straight to the kitchen to help light the fire.

At first, Gu Mingzhu was worried that he wouldn't be able to use the rural wood stove.

After all, he is well-mannered and looks like a rich kid from the city.

But to her surprise, Song Ze's movements were very efficient, whether it was lighting the fire or adding firewood.

Seeing her looking at him in surprise, Song Ze explained briefly, "We had a lot of picnics in the past."

What's more, the Ministry of Agriculture has been doing all the work itself in order to solve the food problem in recent years. Is there anything he doesn't know?
Gu Mingzhu discovered that he was a man who spoke concisely and acted decisively.

Seeing that he could adapt, she confidently left the task of lighting the fire and adding firewood to him, and she concentrated on cooking.

There were two more people having dinner tonight. In addition to the ginseng chicken soup, she also took some kimchi and roasted ginger from the jar and planned to stir-fry some chicken offal.

Then there were stir-fried carrots with Chinese sausage, stir-fried lettuce, and steamed spareribs.

There were four dishes and one soup, and she was very good at cooking each one.

The fragrance from the kitchen wafted in waves. Not to mention Liu Xi who had been busy all afternoon, even Minghua who was sitting in the next room doing homework started drooling at the smell!

He rushed into the kitchen as fast as a monkey, "It smells so good! Sister, when is dinner ready?"

"Wash your hands!" Gu Mingzhu took the last dish out of the pot, "We can eat now!" "Great!"

The dinner table.

Gu Mingzhu said to Liu Xi and Song Ze: "These are just some home-cooked dishes. I don't know if they suit your taste. You can try them first."

Neither Liu Xi nor Song Ze are picky eaters.

One of them was busy for the whole afternoon, and the other was waiting for the whole afternoon. To be honest, their stomachs were already empty.

Earlier, when Gu Mingzhu was cooking, their stomachs became rumbling louder than each other.

Now the food was on the table and the host had spoken, so they both began to eat.

As soon as the food entered his mouth, Song Ze was stunned.

Although he knew that Gu Mingzhu's cooking skills should be good when he was in the kitchen just now.

But now that he really had it in his mouth, when he looked at her, there was surprise and confusion in his eyes.

This little girl is good at growing vegetables, how come she can also cook so well! ?
Just when he was wondering, Liu Xi had already finished half a bowl of sweet potato rice.

Seeing Song Ze in a daze, he thought the food was not to Song Ze's liking, so he lowered his voice and said to him, "Nowadays, most people only receive ten kilograms of rice a month. After eating it all, you have to buy it yourself."

Rice is extremely expensive these days.

Not to mention that people in the country are reluctant to eat it, even people with better conditions in the city don't dare to eat plain white rice every day.

Although he was not very familiar with Song Ze, he had heard from Lao Sun that this kid came from a very well-off family.

He probably has never eaten rice cooked together with coarse grains.

But Mingzhu and her brother are very authentic.

Afraid that the two men wouldn’t have enough to eat, she cooked a big pot of sweet potato rice.

These dishes are not only delicious but also have large portions.

"If you don't want to eat, just eat the vegetables. I'll help you finish this bowl." Liu Xi's voice became lower and lower.

But even if his voice was low, Gu Mingzhu heard some of it.

From Liu Xi's words, Song Ze's dress and temperament, even if she was stupid, she could tell that this guy came from an extraordinary background.

Just when she was about to get an empty bowl for Song Ze, Song Ze, like Liu Xi, started to eat the sweet potato rice in big mouthfuls.

When Liu Xi saw this, he grinned, then rolled up his sleeves and continued to eat.

There were four dishes and one soup, and they were all gone in the end.

Even the kimchi in the fried chicken offal was used by Liu Xi to mix with rice.

If the dishes had not been eaten up, Gu Mingzhu would have been a little worried that these three would eat up the bowls and chopsticks as well!
Liu Xi patted his belly contentedly, "Mingzhu, you can open a restaurant with your cooking skills, it will definitely be a big hit."

Gu Mingzhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I can't even grow enough vegetables, and I'm still opening a restaurant..."

Speaking of growing vegetables, Liu Xi sat up straight, "By the way, don't you guys still need to go to the greenhouse? I'll go with you. When you're done, Song Ze and I will go together."

"Okay." Song Ze nodded.

Ten minutes later, in the greenhouse.

Liu Xi saw that Song Ze started working seriously as soon as he entered the greenhouse and had no intention of caring about anything else, so he pulled Gu Mingzhu to the side.

"Mingzhu, Song Ze's family is well-off and he has never suffered. Just now..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Mingzhu shook her head: "Brother Liu, I don't mind this."

Not to mention Song Ze, when she first came here, she herself was not used to eating mixed grain rice.

And compared to this, what she cares more about is that Song Ze is obviously not her type, but her attention always falls on him uncontrollably?
