Chapter 15 Soothing Tea
Chapter 15 Soothing Tea
"Remember to take good care of this fishing rod after you bring it home. It's best to wipe it with flaxseed oil every month."
At the doorway, everyone was saying goodbye after seeing Sun Ran out. Sun Bolang looked at the fishing rod in his nephew's hand with a face full of reluctance.
"And you know it can't get damp, right?"
My heart hurts so much!
"Alright, you've said that seventeen or eighteen times already, haven't you said it enough?"
Liu Huiying rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.
It can't get damp. If it can't get damp, what kind of fish can you catch? If you're not fishing, can it still be called a fishing rod?
She turned to her nephew and said, "Ranran, don't mind him. Just use the fishing rod however you want!"
"If you accidentally break it, just have him make you another one!"
"Huh?" Sun Bolang was displeased upon hearing this: "Why should I?!"
"Just because Ranran cured your back, and because he kept most of that wonderful wild honey at home!"
Liu Huiying stood with her hands on her hips, exuding an air of dominance. Even though Sun Bolang was filled with grievances, he was speechless at that moment.
"Alright, alright, Uncle and Aunt, stop arguing. Don't worry, Uncle, I'll definitely take good care of this fishing rod."
Seeing this, Sun Ran quickly stepped forward to offer some advice.
After saying that, he turned to the old lady beside him and said, "Grandma, wild honey should be good for your health. You and Grandpa usually brew some tea with it when you have nothing to do."
"If you finish drinking it, just ask me for more, and I'll go up the mountain to dig some more."
"We'll just have a taste, don't go digging for honey, it's too dangerous," the old lady said worriedly to her grandson.
"Grandma, don't worry, those bees are very docile and won't sting. Look at me, I'm dressed like this and I'm fine, aren't I?"
Sun Ran shook the undershirt he was wearing to show the old lady, then smiled and said:
"By the way, if I dig up a lot of honey later, I can send some to Xiaojia too."
"Hey, why do you care about her? Just keep any extra for your parents and Xiao Hao."
Liu Huiying waved her hand in refusal.
"It's alright, Third Aunt. Xiao Jia works hard studying, so it's good for her to have some nourishment."
Sun Ran said with a smile.
Sun Jia is his cousin, the only daughter of his third uncle. She has always been a good student since she was a child. After graduating from high school, she went to a prestigious medical university to pursue a combined bachelor's and master's degree.
But when I chose this major, I thought it was pretty good. However, after starting school, I found it a bit overwhelming.
University is more tiring than senior year of high school.
So even though it's summer vacation now, he hasn't come back yet; he's still at school, spending time in the library.
This honey can calm the nerves and replenish energy, so it should be somewhat helpful to her.
Hearing that her nephew was still thinking about his daughter, Liu Huiying was overjoyed, and Sun Bolang, standing beside her, also beamed with joy.
They felt sorry for their daughter studying so hard, but they were limited in their abilities and couldn't help her much.
No matter how useful this honey is, my nephew's thoughtfulness is enough.
The family exchanged a few more words at the door, said their final goodbyes, and then Sun Ran carried his basket home.
The work on the mountain is almost half done; there's only about half a day's worth of work left.
Having already come down today, he was too lazy to climb the mountain again, so he simply gave himself a half-day off.
In the afternoon, see if there's anything we can help with in the fields. If not, then have a good rest this afternoon.
I'll also take a closer look at this newly acquired Golden Spirit Honey.
Creak~
Pushing open the door and stepping into his yard, Zhang Yang saw his mother, Zhou Yue'e, feeding the chickens with her two little ones.
Cluck cluck cluck, coaxing the chickens while scattering handfuls of corn kernels.
"You're back so soon today? Are you hungry? I'll heat up some food for you."
Hearing the noise, Zhou Yue'e turned around and saw that her son had returned. She quickly put down the chicken feeder, wiped her hands on her apron, and said.
"No need, Mom, I already ate at my uncle's house."
Seeing this, Sun Ran quickly called out to her, then reached out and took out a water bottle, handing it to her: "By the way, Mom, I found some wild honey on the mountain today."
"I left some for my grandma, and the rest I'll keep at home. You can use them to make tea or something when you have some free time."
"Wild honey? You didn't go raiding a beehive, did you?"
Zhou Yue'e was somewhat surprised when she heard this, and quickly got up and pulled him to look him over carefully from head to toe.
Sun Ran felt a warm glow in her heart at his nervous expression.
So he had no choice but to repeat the same excuse he had given to his aunt and grandmother before.
Although Zhou Yue'e still looked worried, fortunately, he didn't have any sting wounds on his body, so he managed to get away with it in the end.
However, Zhou Yue'e was extremely worried because of her connection with her son, while the little foodie girl on the other side was quite different.
Upon hearing that there was food, Sun An'an immediately came over.
Standing there, a pair of big, dark eyes stared at Peppa Pig's water bottle without even blinking.
"Uncle, what is honey? Is it delicious?"
"Honey, it's the honey that bees make, it's sweeter than sugar."
Slurp~
Upon hearing her uncle's words, the little girl's mouth immediately watered: "Is it really that sweet? Can An'an have a bite of bee?"
"Hahaha……"
Hearing her say that, the mother and son were stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"You little glutton, it's the honey that bees make that's sweet; bees themselves aren't sweet at all!"
Seeing the bewildered little girl, Zhou Yue'e suppressed a laugh and picked her up, explaining, "Do you remember what Grandma used to say about bees?"
"Yes, bees buzz when they fly, and they can sting."
Sun Ping, who had been quietly listening to them, nodded vigorously and said earnestly.
"Yes, Grandma also said that it would hurt a lot if An'an got stung."
The little girl added, then looked terrified: "Then An'an shouldn't eat honey, or her tummy will hurt."
That childlike voice made Zhou Yue'e and Sun Ran burst into laughter again.
In the end, the little one laughed so hard her face turned red, and she started to blush when she hugged her grandma.
But shy as she was, she still craved food.
After Zhou Yue'e patiently explained the difference between bees and honey again, the little girl's eyes were glued to the kettle.
Seeing this, Sun Ran simply found a few cups, and then found some dried lemons that Zhou Yue'e usually used to make fruit tea.
He scooped out a spoonful of honey, put two slices of lemon in a cup, and then poured in warm water mixed with spring water...
Hey~
He heard a soft sound beside his ear, and another notification message popped up in front of his eyes.
Congratulations on successfully concocting a low-grade spiritual tea: Tranquilizing Tea.
Calming Tea: Contains a small amount of spiritual energy. Although it is not very beneficial to cultivators, it can help ordinary people calm their minds and regulate their energy.
……
Sun Ran, who was pouring warm water into the cup, was momentarily stunned.
He never expected that his simple intention of making a cup of honey lemon tea would result in such a miraculous tea.
Although this explanation doesn't seem very sophisticated, and it says it's not very useful for cultivators.
But he didn't care at all.
Anyway, I never thought about cultivating immortality.
This tea is said to help ordinary people calm their minds and regulate their emotions, so that's perfect.
He just wanted to live the life of an ordinary person.
Be filial to your parents, play with your nephews and nieces, earn some money, and live a happy life.
Isn't this much better than any cultivation of immortality?
Glug glug~
Pour warm water from the kettle into the cup.
Carrying several cups of freshly brewed spiritual tea, Sun Ran walked out of the kitchen with a smile.
He then distributed cups of spiritual tea.
Listening to my mom praising how delicious this honey tea is, I realized that wild honey is definitely the best...
Then look at the two little ones, sitting on the stools on either side, holding cups in their hands, sipping tea little by little, and shaking their short legs.
Sun Ran couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
This cheat code is getting better and better!
