Chapter 26: Cut an apple into eight segments

Gu Zhang nodded: “That’s not all. Since I know there is a disaster, I will try my best to let the villagers leave together.”

He looked at the history textbook in his hand and asked: “Can you give this book to me?”

Gu Fei nodded, then shook her head: “I can’t give them all to you, I can only take this page.”

She guessed that her father wanted to use this book to make a fuss about it and persuade their relatives to leave together.

Gu Fei tore off the pages of the book without hesitation and handed it to Gu Zhang.

Gu Zhang looked at the cover of the book. There were two big characters called “history”. He didn’t recognize the first character, but he recognized the character “history”.

This was the history of the past recorded by later generations.

He wanted to see what else was written at the end.

Gu Fei noticed her father’s desire and whispered: “Father, I will show you this book later.”

Gu Zhang nodded, and stood up with the page in hand: “I’ll go find the village chief.”

He walked to the gate and met Mrs. Chen, who was walking in. Gu Zhang thought for a while and suddenly took out the apple that Gu Fei gave him from his sleeve and said: “Our daughter gave it to you, you can eat it.”

Mrs. Chen took it and looked at it: “What is this?”

Gu Zhang shook his head, “I don’t know, it’s food. I saw our daughter eats it very well.”

Mrs. Chen put it to her nose and smelled it, with a smile on her face: “It’s fragrant. It smells good even when you smell it.”

“Are you going to eat this thing just like this, or——” Before she could finish her words, Gu Zhang had already left the courtyard.

“What a damn old man, he doesn’t know to speak well.” Mrs. Chen walked in happily and waved to Xiao Cao: “Come here, there is delicious food here.”

Mrs. Chen dazzled the apple in front of Xiao Cao’s eyes. When Xiao Cao suddenly saw something novel, she grabbed Mrs. Chen’s pants and became excited: “Grandma, give it to me, give it to me.”

Mrs. Chen thought that this was a valuable thing and everyone had to try it.

Well, she better ask her daughter first. Didn’t that old man say that she gave it to her? It must be good food for the nobles in the Marquis’ mansion.

Mrs. Chen pushed the door open with Xiao Cao on her legs and saw Gu Fei lying on the kang, reading a book and gnawing on an apple.

She blinked, and it seemed that there was no need to ask. This thing should be eaten raw.

Mrs. Chen walked to the main room and shouted: “Dalang, Erlang, Sanlang, Chunhua——”

Gu Fei was so frightened by the sound in the room that her hands shook, and she almost dropped the apple.

The whole family heard the sound and came over.

“Mom, what’s the matter?”

The three young men rushed to the main room to look at Mrs. Chen.

Li Chunhua also came over soon.

Mrs. Chen took out the apple from her sleeve mysteriously: “This is a good thing your sister gave me, I want everyone to try them.”

“What is this?”

“What’s that?”

Several people asked in unison.

Mrs. Chen waved her hand: “I don’t know, don’t ask me.”

“How do you eat it?” Li Chunhua asked the most critical question.

Mrs. Chen walked to the kitchen, picked up a kitchen knife, washed it carefully, then put the apple on the table and cut it carefully.

She cut it in half and then in half. Mrs. Chen cut the apple into eight pieces: “One piece for each person!”

Gu Sanlang quickly picked up a piece and threw it into his mouth, chewed it twice, and then it was gone.

Everyone in the room looked at him, and Gu Erlang asked: “Is it delicious?”

Gu Sanlang smacked his mouth and nodded: “It’s delicious, but it’s just too little. I didn’t taste much!”

Mrs. Chen glared at him: “Who told you to eat so fast? You have to eat it slowly, like ginseng fruit!”

Gu Qing carefully picked up a piece and handed it to Xiao Cao first.

Xiao Cao took a bite and her eyes shined brightly: “Wow, it’s delicious.”

The remaining people quickly picked up their pieces and put them into their mouths to taste.

“It’s tasty.”

“It tastes delicious.”

Gu Sanlang looked at them and his saliva flowed out.

One thought on “Chapter 26: Cut an apple into eight segments

  1. I don’t know how exactly the father will convince the village chief with a random piece of paper that has the “future” written on it without explaining its origins, but it would be nice if other villages learned of it somehow so that they could also avoid such a disaster. It would be better if they could just dig out large trenches or something to bring water from the flooded areas to the drought areas so that both problems can be resolved.

    Thanks for the chapter! 😀
