Chapter 288: Eating secretly for a while
Just now, when Yin Lingyou heard some noise in the yard next door, he urged Mao Sanli to come over and take a look to see if Xia Mingyue had any new food.

After Mao Sanli arrived here, he got a plate of green rice dumplings very smoothly.

There are six green dumplings in this plate.

After carefully examining the plate in his hand, Mao Sanli took a green dumpling from the plate first, and then arranged the remaining five a little loosely.

In this way, at first glance, there is nothing strange, but it seems more harmonious.

So, this green rice dumpling was specially prepared for him, Mao Sanli!
Mao Sanli put the green dumpling into his mouth with satisfaction and enjoyed its deliciousness.

The soft, glutinous and sweet taste spread in the mouth. When the fragrant and delicious filling was swallowed, the aftertaste was strong, which made Mao Sanli feel that he was still not satisfied. After licking his lips, he finally couldn't help but picked up another Qingtuan.

There's actually nothing wrong with arranging the remaining four green dumplings!
Mao Sanli thought so and put the second green dumpling into his mouth with peace of mind.

In fact, if there are only three, it’s nothing. No one would make so much food at once. It’s normal to only give three to try!

Two doesn't seem to be an option. After all, these two can be considered approximate numbers or very accurate quantities. The number of green dumplings made is small, so it's normal to only give two as a token of your appreciation!
Anyway, there is only one left. If I take it back now, Master will probably ask me in detail why there is only one green dumpling left. So it is better to just put them all into his stomach!
……

So, Mao Sanli got an empty plate and a satisfied burp.

But after the sweet smell associated with the burp dissipated, Mao Sanli began to feel a little annoyed.

It feels good to cheat on someone, but I’m afraid I’ll end up in the crematorium tonight!

The master sent him to get the Qingtuan, but now he can't get any back...

How to do how to do?
Mao Sanli held the empty plate and paced anxiously at the door, but in the end he did not dare to take a step.

Until Yin Lingyou couldn't wait any longer at home and wanted to go out to see why Mao Sanli hadn't come back yet, he saw Mao Sanli, who looked depressed, wandering around the door with an empty plate in his hand.

"Master..." Mao Sanli exclaimed and subconsciously hid the empty plate behind him.

Yin Lingyou's expression suddenly darkened, "You haven't been to Madam Xia's house yet?"

"No...right, right, I haven't gone yet." Mao Sanli nodded hurriedly, "I'll go right away."

At worst, I can just be thick-skinned and ask for some more.

Who can blame this Qingtuan for being so delicious?

"Wait a minute." Yin Lingyou stretched out his hand to stop him, walked quickly to Mao Sanli, and grabbed his arm.

Without waiting for Mao Sanli to react, Yin Lingyou had already inserted the silver needles in his hand into the acupuncture points on Mao Sanli's body with lightning speed.

In an instant, Mao Sanli burst into deafening laughter without any warning.

He laughed so hard that tears started streaming from the corners of his eyes, but he couldn't stop laughing. Instead, his laughter became louder and louder, attracting everyone who was working at Xia's office next door to come out to see what was going on.

"Master, hahahaha, I know, hahaha, I was wrong." Mao Sanli laughed so hard that he couldn't catch his breath. He felt very uncomfortable and kept begging for mercy.

"Two hours." Yin Lingyou snorted coldly, "If there is no Qingtuan, then add another two hours!"

He couldn't wait any longer, so he climbed over the wall to have a look. The girl next door, Xia, made green dumplings, which looked green and refreshing, with plenty of fillings inside. There were several types, and each one looked delicious.

Even Wu Jin was enjoying the meal there!
He even cleaned up the table at home, brewed a pot of good tea, and prepared a full sense of ritual for the green rice dumplings that were about to be eaten. But now, all these green rice dumplings have been eaten by other people!
Angry.

He was so angry that his beard was about to stand on end and he couldn't even eat dinner.

After saying this, Yin Lingyou turned away and went back to the yard, closing the door angrily.

If there is no Qingtuan, don’t come back!

Mao Sanli watched the door close while laughing. After staggering back and forth for a while, he squatted on the ground with difficulty and rubbed his belly which was a little sore from laughing too hard.

In the end, he had to hold on to the wall and go to Xia Mingyue's house next door.

Xia Mingyue was checking the account book of Xiaji at this time. She saw Mao Sanli walking in with a hunched back and a look of pain on his face. She was startled at first, then she understood immediately, "You ate all the Qingtuan because you were greedy?"

Mao Sanli nodded with some difficulty, and then gave a reason, "I, hahahaha, no hahahaha, I did it on purpose, it was mainly hahahaha, the green rice dumplings made by Madam Xia hahaha, hahahaha, they are so delicious!"

"So Ning Ken got stabbed in the laughing hole again?" Xia Mingyue held her forehead helplessly, "It seems that she didn't learn much from the last incident."

When she saw Mao Sanli once before, he looked like this. Now thinking about it, it must be because he stole the meat pie.

Mao Sanli was still laughing, but there was not much shame on his face.

This has happened again and again...

There must be repeated times!

The laughing point was pierced for only two hours, and the delicious food was gone for real!
Mao Sanli patted his cheeks, which were a little sore from laughing, and said to Xia Mingyue with difficulty, "Madam Xia, hahahahaha, are there any more hahahaha Qingtuan?"

"This is really out of stock." Xia Mingyue spread her hands helplessly.

It was a bit laborious to grind the mugwort mud, so she simply made more at one time, thinking that she would save the extra ones to eat later. However, because the green rice dumplings were so delicious, she couldn't help but eat a few more, so that the green rice dumplings had been divided up cleanly by now.

Such an answer made Mao Sanli nervous.

Although he could endure two hours, if it were to be extended by two more hours...

It's about to die!

Seeing Mao Sanli's expression changing again and again, Xia Mingyue raised an eyebrow and guessed, "Could it be that if you can't get the Qingtuan, Doctor Yin will not be willing to unblock your laugh point?"

Mao Sanli nodded heavily, "Almost the same."

After four hours, most of the people were there.

"This..." Xia Mingyue was suddenly a little troubled.

All the mugwort has been used up, and we have to go look for it now. Besides, it is still some time before the Dragon Boat Festival, so mugwort is not common and it is probably not sold on the streets.

"I'm going to go to Aunt Han's house later. I remember that Aunt Han's family seemed to like to grow mugwort. If she has some later, I'll bring some back?" Jiang Zhuguo suggested.
