Eating Grapes but Not Grape Skin

T/N: Sponsored Chapter! Thank you Daim for sponsoring! (●´□`)♡ There’s one more sponsored chapter, and it will be posted tomorrow.

In the afternoon, she used grapes as bait to let Silver slowly become familiar with its own name.

“Silver, you stay at home obediently. I’m going to go out for a while and will be back very soon.” Du Xiao Li said as she ate a piece of grape and had the last grape fed into Silver’s mouth.

Right now, the sun was about to set. The weather wasn’t as hot as in the afternoon right now. She needed to have the medical ingredients she’d dug up a few days ago delivered to Niu Jing. Niu Jing had taken them to the medicine shop to sell a few time already, and they were very satisfied. Because the medical ingredients she dug up were rather valuable and were handled very well, they came to an agreement that as soon as there’s supply to send them over as quickly as possible.

After she properly packed the ingredients, she also took two bunches of grapes, preparing to send it altogether too.

“Woowoo–” Silver came to Du Xiao Li’s side and lifted its head, whimpering at her, with worry and fear in its eyes.

“Silver don’t be scared, I’ll be back very soon.” Du Xiao Li thought perhaps being in a new environment and also having been injured, that’s why it was scared.

“Woowoo–” Silver bit onto her trouser leg, just not allowing her to leave.

“Then you come with me too.” Du Xiao Li picked up Silver in her arms, taking it together with her to Niu Jing’s house.

When Du Xiao Li went over, Niu Jing was currently making dinner. Leng Yi and Leng Er were in the courtyard sparring. Han Ming Yi was lying on the guifei couch under the eaves, and Ji Liu Feng was also leaning against the couch. The two of them were watching Leng Yi and Leng Er spar.

“Silver, you can’t go down right now, you have an injury on your leg. Wait until your injury is better, and I’ll let you walk by yourself alright?”

Du Xiao Li’s voice sounded. Leng Yi and Leng Er stopped, and the four of them looked towards the person talking outside of the courtyard.

“Leng Yi, Leng Er, don’t stop, I was just getting excited from watching.” Just now, Silver was struggling to get down. Du Xiao Li stroked its fur to coax it, and when she lifted her head again, she saw that Leng Yi and Leng Er had stopped, and hurried spoke.

Their sparring match just now was her first time seeing martial arts of ancient times. Wait no, the second time. The first time was when Leng Er showed her his qinggong. She discovered that these ancient martial arts moves didn’t lose to the modern ones in the least. She could still properly learn some.

“Who were you talking to just now?” Leng Er asked.

Du Xiao Li pushed opened the courtyard door and walked in, saying: “Silver.” With that said, she even had Silver lifted.

“Silver?” Leng Er saw the Silver in her arms and asked with a laugh, “That’s the name you gave this wolf?”

“That’s right.” Du Xiao Li first had Silver placed on the ground. Afterwards, she took out the grapes, and then placed the medical ingredients inside an empty bamboo basket.

“You really are constantly embodying your true nature of loving money!” Leng Er said.

“Silver quickly come. Silver come over here. Look, such good implications. Under the skies, who doesn’t love money. Even the monks who boast the four elements are vanity also like for others to give more incense money.” Du Xiao Li said, and afterwards headed toward the kitchen, carrying two cl.u.s.ters of grapes.

(T/N: The word silver in ancient china means the same as money.)

“Grandpa Niu.” Du Xiao Li directly placed the grapes into a basin and shouted towards Niu Jing who was making dinner inside.

Niu Jing saw the grapes in Du Xiao Li’s hands and asked, “Came to deliver herbs again? What’s this?”

“This is fruit I picked in the mountains. It tastes pretty good, so I brought some over for grandpa Niu.” Du Xiao Li had the grapes plucked and cleaned, and then brought before Niu Jing, letting him try a piece.

Niu Jing ate one, sour and sweet, the flavor indeed quite good.

“Where did you discover this? Why have I never seen this before?” Niu Jing asked as he ate another piece.

“In the valley between the two mountains just behind Wild Goose Mountain.” Du Xiao Li said.s

“You’re just a child, how can you go to a place that far a away?” Niu Jing said, somewhat disapprovingly.

“That area I’m very familiar with, nothing will happen.” Du Xiao Li said, “I even picked up a silver wolf there.”

“You really are daring.” Niu Jing helplessly looked to Du Xiao Li, “Just stay here for dinner tonight. You’d be too lazy to cook by yourself.”

Du Xiao Li thought for moment, and then agreed, saying: “Then I’ll take this out to let Leng Er and the others have a taste.” With that said, she carried the washed grapes outside.

Du Xiao Li went out carrying the grapes. She carried it next to Han Ming Yi and Ji Liu Feng and said, “Big brother Yi, this is fruit I picked in the mountains today, do you want to try some?”

Han Ming Yi glanced at the grapes in the basin and faintly said, “No need.”

Rather, Ji Liu Feng curiously picked up a piece and threw it into his mouth, saying: “What fruit is this?”

“I call it grapes.” Du Xiao Li waited for him to take a few more, before carrying the grapes to Leng Yi and Leng Er’s side, “Do you want to try some?”

Leng Yi and Leng Er both took a few. Du Xiao Li then placed the basin on a short stool under the eaves.

“Woowoo–” Smelling the grapes, Silver started crying out in the courtyard.

Du Xiao Li picked a few in her hands and stood one meter in front of Silver, saying: “Silver, open up.” Afterwards, when Silver opened its mouth, she threw one in.

When Silver finished eating it, its two front paws started digging on the ground.

“Silver, if you stay here obediently and don’t move, I’ll give you grapes to eat. If you understand, call out once.” Du Xiao Li put the grapes in her palm and said.

“You talking to it like this, how would it understand.” Leng Er walked over and said.

“How would it not understand? Our family’s Silver is very smart. Right, Silver?” Du Xiao Li placed Silver on a stool and rubbed its head.

Silver cried out twice and ate the grapes in Du Xiao Li’s hand. Afterwards, it really did lie on top the stool motionlessly.

“Dinnertime. Li girl, come over and help me.” Niu Jing stuck his body out from the kitchen and said.

“Okay.” Du Xiao Li rubbed Silver again and said, “Obediently stay here, okay?” Afterwards, she finally got up and went to the kitchen.

While Du Xiao Li went to the kitchen, Ji Liu Feng went over, got the grapes, and placed it on the stool next to himself. He said to Han Ming Yi, “You really don’t want to try one? It really does taste quite good. It tastes different from the fruits in the past.” As he spoke, he even had the skin peeled off, placing only the meat in his mouth.

Have to say, this Ji Liu Feng was born with a good mouth and knew how to eat things. Having only eaten a few, he already knew to eat by directly peeling off the skin.

Han Ming Yi looked to Ji Liu Feng and still shook his head. Ji Liu Feng picked up a relatively darker one, and after peeling the skin, directly put it by Han Ming Yi’s mouth, saying: “Look, good brother, I don’t eat alone.”
