Chapter 219
At noon, more than a dozen delicious dishes with good color, aroma and taste were placed on the long table in the manor's living room, including sweet and sour pork ribs, kelp stewed pork ribs, shell soup, and green onion fried meat.
The fragrance floated in the living room.
Mina, with an excited face, lay on the table, wagging her tail, staring at the various delicacies on the table. The smell of meat drifted into Mina's nose, stimulating her keen olfactory nerves, and saliva flowed from the corners of her mouth involuntarily, dripping onto the table.
She couldn't control herself after not eating the delicacies made by Cheng Yu for several months.
At this time, Cheng Yu took out the specialty of the Holy Kingdom of Bretelles City - fruit wine from the system warehouse.
When leaving the Holy Kingdom, Cheng Yu bought more than a hundred barrels and brought them back for Mina and the others to taste.
When the lid of the wine barrel was opened, the smell of wine and fruit mixed together, and the mellow fragrance was overflowing.
"What is this? It smells so good."
With her furry ears erect, Mina was attracted by the aroma of the fruit wine. She leaned forward, put her hands behind her back, and stared at the barrel of fruit wine with curious red eyes.
"Fruit wine, a low-alcohol fruit wine."
Cheng Yu used a spoon to scoop a cup for each of them to taste.
Afra tasted it, smacked her lips, and said in surprise, "It tastes good."
The wine I drank before only had a pure wine taste, but this wine is mainly fruity and supplemented by wine.
Mina took a sip and it tasted sweet and delicious.
She raised her head and drank a full bowl of fruit wine in one gulp, slightly alleviating her desire for food.
Haisha didn't drink as unrestrainedly as Mina. She drank it slowly, one mouthful at a time, and savored the taste of the fruit wine.
After drinking the fruit wine, it was time to eat.
Mina was the first to sit at the table and took up a fork to attack the plate of braised pork...
...
A few days passed.
That afternoon, Cheng Yu and Ivennie were planting fruits and vegetables in the farmland.
Ivennie's plant growth-promoting magic can accelerate the growth of crops, which is very convenient.
"Is anyone there?"
A voice came from the entrance of the manor.
Cheng Yu looked at the entrance of the manor, and a yellow-haired young man was standing there, "Who are you?"
"Hello, I'm from the Oriental Book Society. Our boss, Mr. Bartlett, sent me to urge the manuscript." The yellow-haired young man replied.
"Rubbing for manuscript?"
"Miss Xiaofu's novel "My Years as the Queen of the Blood Clan" is very popular. Many readers sent letters to the book club, asking when the fifth volume will be written."
"That book has been published to the fifth volume?"
It was the bookseller that Cheng Yu contacted for Aphra at that time, but he didn't expect it to be a big hit.
"Well, that book sells very well. I hope Miss Xiaofu can write faster."
The yellow-haired young man came to urge for updates on behalf of thousands of book friends.
"Xiaofu."
Cheng Yu shouted to the second floor of the manor.
"What's up?"
The window on the second floor opened, and a head poked out.
Afra's hair was messy, as if she had just gotten up.
Cheng Yu: "The people from the Oriental Bookstore asked if you had finished the fifth volume."
"Not yet." Aphra said.
The yellow-haired young man stared at Aphra at the second-floor window, with a slightly surprised expression. It took him a while to come back to his senses and asked Cheng Yu: "Is that Miss Xiaofu?"
"Yes."
"I've come to urge you to write so many times, but this is the first time I've seen Miss Xiaofu in person."
The yellow-haired young man was a little excited. Every time he came to urge for more, it was Mina or Haisha who relayed the answer, and Aphra didn't show up.
In the yellow-haired young man's imagination, Aphra should be a fat and ugly girl who was afraid to go out and locked herself up at home all day to write novels.
I didn't expect her to be so beautiful.
"Miss Xiaofu, our bookstore owner Bartlett said that you need to go to the bookstore in person to collect the previous royalties." The yellow-haired young man said to Xiaofu at the second-floor window.
Aphra's novels are very popular, and the royalties for the first few volumes have not been collected, and they have accumulated in the Oriental Bookstore.
Afra writes novels purely for hobby, and is not interested in money. She said indifferently, "Let Cheng Yu go with you, I don't need royalties."
"But our boss said that you need to go in person to collect it." The yellow-haired young man said.
"If you don't want to go, then don't go."
Afra retreated into the room and closed the window.
The yellow-haired young man was a little embarrassed. Bartlett, the boss of the Oriental Bookstore, had always wanted this writer named Xiao Fu, so he asked her to go to the bookstore in person to collect the royalties.
But this Miss Xiao Fu is so eccentric and not interested in money.
Afra is not interested in money, but Cheng Yu is very interested in money, "Xiao Fu, let's go, go to Pease Harbor with me to collect the money."
The window opened again, and Aphra poked her head out, hesitating slightly, "Okay, wait for me."
She didn't give face to the yellow-haired young man, but she still had to give face to Cheng Yu.
Aphra walked to the dressing table, combed her messy long hair, took off her pajamas, put on a white dress, and jumped out of the second-floor window.Then, she landed lightly in the courtyard.
Her skin was whiter than snow, her long black hair was scattered behind her, and her temperament was like a holy fairy who was untainted by the mud.
"Miss Xiaofu jumped from the second-floor window and she was fine?" The yellow-haired young man was surprised.
"Uh... she is a magician and can use magic."
Cheng Yu found an excuse.
Aphra is really something. How could she do such an unconventional operation in front of outsiders?
The yellow-haired young man admired: "Miss Xiaofu is really amazing. She can write novels and use magic."
Afra walked to Cheng Yu and said, "Let's go."
The three of them went to Pease Harbor.
