1484 The Taste of Spirit Rice
“Shenglin, why did you buy rice? Isn’t there enough at home?” Yang Kun asked in surprise. The others were also surprised by the rice in the box.
There was some disbelief in the eyes of Yan Zhengming, Song Yanru, Song Chu and Cao Zhengsong. Song Chu chuckled and said, “Brother Ruan, if you don’t have enough rice, tell me. I’ll get my family to bring you a big bag. The rice from my hometown is much better than what is on Taobao!”
Cao Zhengsong immediately echoed, “That’s right! That’s right!”
Yan Zhengming deliberately said, “Shenglin, is Kun’er brainless enough to make you buy rice from Taobao?”
As Yan Zhengming spoke, he deliberately glanced at Yang Kun and said, “Kun’er, you’re too unprofessional as a manager. A great film emperor actually has to personally go on Taobao to buy rice?”
“Brother Ruan, the rice from my hometown is especially delicious. Why don’t I bring you a bag tomorrow? The rice from Taobao really isn’t good and is especially hard. Shall I carry this box out and give it to someone else?” Song Chu was quick and got to work.
At that moment, Xu Tong was also staring blankly at the contents of the box. However, she and Song Yan were women and were more meticulous. They realized that apart from the rice, there seemed to be something else in the box. There was an exquisite little white bottle squeezed into the corner next to the rice. Song Yanru was quick and took it out first. “What’s this?”
As Song Yanru spoke, she subconsciously opened the stopper curiously. Soon, a very pleasant fragrance of medicinal herbs wafted out and immediately filled everyone’s noses. Everyone who smelled it perked up; the more they smelled it, the more familiar the scent was.
Everyone here had seen the world. When they smelled the fragrance of the herbs, they immediately confirmed that this thing wasn’t ordinary, and that it was definitely good stuff.
“What on earth is this?”
As soon as Song Yanru asked the question, Ruan Shenglin finally reacted.
Wasn’t this what he had bought from the Master’s shop last night?
He actually received them so quickly?
He thought that he would only receive them tomorrow or the day after, so he hadn’t reacted for a moment. At the thought that it was something from Master Chi, Ruan Shenglin was excited. Afraid that his good friends would damage his good stuff, he immediately walked over and slapped Song Chu’s hands away. He took the white bottle from Song Yanru’s hand and plugged it up again. The light scent of herbs immediately decreased, which disappointed everyone.
“Go, go, go. This box is all the good stuff I just bought. Boys, scram back to where you came from. Don’t damage my good stuff. You can’t afford it!”
Ruan Shenglin looked excitedly at the rice in the box. When he picked it up and saw the talismans under it, his hands shook with excitement.
Sure enough!
These things were all from Master Chi. What Ruan Shenglin cared about the most were these talismans. He hurriedly picked them up one by one and had his wife put them away in a small box.
The others also saw Ruan Shenglin’s actions. Their eyes immediately widened and they suddenly reacted. Yan Zhengming was the first to speak and asked excitedly, “So fast, Shenglin. Did you buy this from the Master’s shop? Why haven’t I received mine yet?”
After saying that, Yan Zhengming immediately crouched down to look at the sender’s address on the box. After confirming that the sender was surnamed Chi, Yan Zhengming was excited, happy and apprehensive. When the others thought about how Ruan Shenglin had already received the things from Master Chi while they hadn’t, they couldn’t help but feel a little anxious.
Yang Kun was also a little worried at that moment, and wasn’t in the mood to think about work.
Ruan Shenglin’s thoughts were all on the talismans from Master Chi. Seeing this, he could only say perfunctorily, “It should be soon. I called the Master this morning, and she said that I would receive them tomorrow or the day after!”
Only then did Yan Zhengming and the others relax.
Compared with Ruan Shenglin, who had bought a lot of rice and a bottle of Nourishment Pills from Master Chi’s online shop, Yan Zhengming, Yang Kun, Song Yanru, Song Chu and Cao Zhengsong mostly bought talismans and Nourishment Pills. However, there was a purchase limit on the Nourishment Pills, and very few people managed to grab them. Only Yan Zhengming and Song Chu had been quick enough to grab a bottle each.
Song Yanru, Yang Kun and Cao Zhengsong grabbed spirit tea.
As for the spirit rice, apart from Ruan Shenglin, no one specially bought it. The other main reason was that most of them went to snatch talismans, and by the time they came back, the spirit rice was gone. However, Yan Zhengming, Yang Kun and Song Yanru were still satisfied after grabbing talismans. They didn’t feel much about the rice and just felt that it was similar to normal rice.
Seeing that Ruan Shenglin had bought the spirit rice, not to mention Yan Zhengming, Song Yanru and the others, even Yang Kun was a little curious about the taste of the rice. Yang Kun immediately urged, “Shenglin, it’s rare for everyone to be here, and we’re a little hungry. Why don’t we cook some porridge for everyone to try?”
Xu Tong also nodded and expressed that she wanted to try the rice. Ruan Shenglin didn’t hesitate. Although this spirit rice from Master Chi’s online shop was expensive, that bit of money was nothing to him.
Ruan Shenglin immediately nodded. “Okay, I’ll put away the other things first and cook porridge for everyone later!”
“Okay, okay, okay… That’s great!” Everyone clapped happily, but Yan Zhengming asked, “Shenglin, is the porridge you cook edible? Don’t you have a housekeeper?”
Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun and Xu Tong subconsciously thought of their last housekeeper and shuddered. After that, they didn’t dare look for another housekeeper, no matter how reliable they were.
Ruan Shenglin was about to speak, when Yang Kun feigned anger and retorted, “If you’re looking down on Shenglin’s cooking, Brother Yan, why don’t you do it yourself?”
“Okay, I won’t say any more. Hurry and get Shenglin to cook porridge for everyone to eat. No matter how bad it tastes, I’ll still eat it!” Yan Zhengming immediately adapted to the situation and hurriedly corrected himself, causing everyone to laugh!
