All the saplings in Yunwu Mountain survived, and none of them withered. This is a shocking thing for everyone who saw this scene.

Especially for many years, the geologists and botanists who explored here have brought instruments to explore here. After a series of on-site visits and detections, they found that the mountain really slowly evolved from a dead mountain. Recovered, and especially the soil around the watered saplings is extremely active. As long as the mountain is given a period of time, these seedlings will grow very lush.

Because it was designed by Huixian Yang personally with painstaking efforts, it is certain that in two years this Yunwu Mountain will be a two-step view and become a leisure place that is counted in the imperial capital.

These experts even visited those involved in tree planting and asked if there are any tricks in it.

But what tricks can they have? They just planted trees just carrying the shovel, and the soil is the soil of Yunwu Mountain, and the water is also the water of Yunwu Mountain. Where can there be any tricks? What tricks are there to pay attention to when planting trees? Such as handstand or dancing ballroom dance?

After asking a lot and getting no useful information, these experts can only stop cooking. It is probably the reason why Yunwu Mountain has been abandoned for so many years, but now it is suitable for plant growth. These years should be used to quietly accumulate energy, right? .

In the next time, Xu Ning did not worry about anything else. After finishing the six-level oral exam, she took the accountant certificate and the lawyer's certificate. , There are not many who can even come out of the university gate, but Xu Ning enjoys the process very much.

Every time she got a certificate, she felt as if she had captured a high mountain.

There is still a month to go abroad. All of Xu Ning's documents have been processed, and James bought her the air ticket. It will be mailed to her home about a week before she leaves the country. After that, Xu Ning will be lazy at home. Every day she went to school to pick up Xu Rui, or accompany her grandparents, and then when the plane ticket was delivered to her home, Qin Xuejuan made a special day to take Xu Ning out to buy clothes.

Although he knew that Xu Ning was about to leave, Xie Zheng did not ask for leave to accompany her.

Even if he is reluctant, Xie Zheng also wants to take advantage of the past few years to develop his career, even if he has made strict plans for the future, but rebirth does not mean that the development trajectory in this life is exactly the same as in the previous life.

Now both of them are working hard for the future, and Xu Ning does not hesitate to go abroad. Naturally, he will not always be in the atmosphere of children's love.

At the end of the day, Xu Ning returned tiredly with his mother. This time, he bought a lot of clothes. Xu Ning thought that these clothes were packed in boxes, and there were at least three.

Not to mention there are other things to prepare, she really can't walk without five suitcases.

Fortunately, when he arrived in the United States, James would drive over to pick her up.

Xu Ning's plane was in the afternoon. After Xie Zheng had lunch, he talked to the professor and took a taxi to the airport.

Today, all the Xu family came to see Xu Ning. After searching in the waiting hall, Xie Zheng found Xu Ning's figure.

"Brother Zheng is here." Xu Ning waved his hand to greet him, "Are you asking for leave?"

"Well, it's okay, I'll go back when I see you on the plane."

Looking at Xie Zheng, Xu Ning, who had nothing to do before, suddenly felt sore in her heart.

It feels less uncomfortable to separate when you were young. Why do you become more pretentious when you get older?

"Actually, I don't really want you to send me off." Xu Ning said with a tangled eyebrow.

Xie Zheng nodded, "I know, but you won't be able to come back until the end of the year. I don't feel relieved if I don't send it."

Parting is bitter, how Xie Zheng doesn't understand.

But Xie Zheng is not happy not to send it off. He was busy before and didn't care about being with Xu Ning. Now he is leaving, he must be here to see him off.

His girlfriend went abroad, and he was absent as a boyfriend. This is a nonsense.

Only Qin Xuejuan knew that the two children were in love, and Yu Chunhua and Old Yao Shu probably knew in their hearts, but they didn't name them.

Old Uncle Yao stood up and said to Chunhua, "Shall we go around in the airport?"

"Okay!" Yu Chunhua got up and winked at her daughter-in-law.

Qin Xuejuan understood her heart, and looked down at her son in her arms, "Mom will take you to eat ice cream?"

"Okay." Xu Rui was very happy to hear that there was ice cream, and took his mother to the cafe in front.

Xie Zheng held Xu Ning's hand, and Xu's family next to him was gone, so he could talk to this girl in a whisper.

"You remember everything I told you before, right?"

"Well, Brother Zheng, don't worry about me, I will be very careful."

"If you meet friends over there, you can also go out and visit, and don't always stay in school."

"good!"

"My job generally doesn't have the opportunity to go abroad, so I will wait for you at home."

"Which one?" Xu Ning suddenly asked with a cramp.

Xie Zheng smiled slightly, "Our home."

"My mother is going to build a villa in Yunwu Mountain and keep a set for me and my brother, so I don't think you need to buy a house."

"Are you planning to support me?" Xie Zheng said.

Xu Ning: "Can't it?"

"Yes, you can do whatever you want." Xie Zheng looked at his watch, and Xu Ning was about to check in and board the plane in about ten minutes. "Want a car?"

"...I don't think the current model is very good-looking." Xu Ning thought for a while, "but the cars are all consumables. Anyway, they start to depreciate the moment they buy them. Brother Zheng can buy them."

"There are also good-looking ones. What kind of car do you like?" Xie Zheng thought that it is still convenient to buy a car. Usually, people who go to school or work do not need to ride a bicycle in the wind and rain. The key is to save time.

"Cross-country." Xu Ning said: "There is a lot of space, it's safe to do, and it's comfortable."

"good."

After talking about the meeting, Qin Xuejuan and the others came back, and Xu Ning also started to check the ticket and board the plane.

Xie Zheng didn’t move forward. Auntie San and Grandma Yu kept telling Xu Ning to take care of themselves when going out, and to call home often. At this time, he was still very winking. Xu Rui stood behind.

It was not until the plane to the United States rushed into the sky that Xie Zheng took them home by taxi.

Xu Ning was not at home, and the Xu family always felt that something was missing. Although Xu Ning had lived on campus before, he was psychologically uncomfortable at first.

In the afternoon of the next day, Xu Ning called. She has a separate dormitory over there. The environment in the dormitory is pretty good. There is also a place for cooking alone. It belongs to one bedroom and one living room. Of course, there are two student dormitories here. Personal, but not so spacious. Xu Ning can have the current accommodation conditions and applied to the school at the very beginning. She means that you can pay for the accommodation and also have a separate room, of course, it also includes a place for cooking. Because Xu Ning is not used to the meals here, she can really go crazy if she eats American fast food for several years.

Bread, milk, beef salad and so on. She might think it’s okay to eat it once or twice a month, but three meals a day are definitely not enough.

Hearing what Xu Ning said, the family members were relieved, at least Xu Ning arrived safely.

Before Xu Ning got on the plane, Yu Chunhua's heart was always hanging. She knew about planes, but she was thinking that planes were very unsafe. How dangerous would it be to encounter wind, rain, thunder and lightning? I really don't know why I can't go as a bus.

Later, the old man told him a lot, and the old man knew that he could not get to the United States as a bus. Fortunately, the granddaughter arrived safely, and she did not continue to struggle with this issue.

Xu Ning did not feel lonely here. The teachers and classmates here were very enthusiastic. After Xu Ning introduced herself in proficient American English on the first day of class, many clubs invited Xu Ning at noon. , Such as tennis, such as music, such as cheerleading and so on.

Xu Ning met two girls on the first day at Harvard. One black girl was named Ash, and the other white girl was named Donna. Of course, Donna was not surnamed Tang.

These two girls are both cheerleaders, and Xu Ning joined the tennis club according to his own preferences.

The schoolwork is not too much. In many cases, it depends on your own wishes. However, Xu Ning came to learn advanced Western medicine knowledge this time. Of course, in his spare time, he will also take three out with the company of Ash and Donna. Traveling in many places in the United States in two days.

Driven by Ash and Donna, the three of them drove to see the White House, drove around the Capitol, visited museums, took photos under the Statue of Liberty, went to the Opera House to listen to songs, and enjoyed concerts. Every time when Xu Ning came back, he would write down what he saw and thought during the trip, thinking about showing it to Brother Zheng after returning home.

During this period, Xu Ning also took the driver's license locally. When he returns to China, he can change to a domestic driver's license. In short, the procedures after returning to China are not as troublesome as afterwards.

"Ningning!" Outside the bedroom, Ashe's voice came through the door panel.

After getting acquainted, Ash and Donna both called her Ning Ning, but the accent was very foreign, while the professor called her "Ning", a very simple single tone.

Xu Ning had just finished the shower at this time, her hair was still wet on her back, and she stepped forward to open the door when she heard the sound, and saw Ash and Donna standing at the door with a fat fast food and wine in their hands.

"Let's have a party tonight, Donna broke up with her boyfriend, and she is in a bad mood." The two came in and sat down directly on the small sofa.

In fact, the two did not often come to Xu Ning's dormitory, except of course that they were broken in love.

Xu Ning came to Harvard less than two months ago. Among them, Ashe talked about beating three boyfriends, and Donna was even more powerful, and she directly talked about beating five boyfriends. This is the sixth one, twice as many as Aishe. .

As for Xu Ning, not in that mood, of course, it is not that no one pursues it. There are both domestic and foreign. Now Harvard has many Chinese students studying here.

"Didn't Donna and her boyfriend just talked for five days?" Xu Ning stood on the carpet at the bathroom door and wiped her hair. "Why break up?"

"Hank kissed a **** from the art department and saw it." Donna said angrily, "I slapped Hank twice."

"Very good." Xu Ning nodded, "So you hit someone, so why are you still angry?"

"He betrayed me. He said before that he only liked me. He kissed other women in a blink of an eye. I would definitely get angry." Donna can't actually understand Xu Ning's thoughts. Isn't this something to be angry with?

Xu Ning combed her hair neatly, because she usually maintains her hair well, and when she washes or combs her hair, she hardly loses her hair.

At this time, it was almost seven o'clock outside, and the sky was not completely dark yet, but it was already very blurred.

"Since they have broken up, there is no need to be angry. And it’s not a good thing to be able to see Hanke’s true face earlier?" The reason why Xu Ning likes these two girls is not only because of their good personalities, but also Xu Ning liked the concept of the two people very much. "You have to think from another angle. Merry now is better than waiting until after you get married. It hurts less, right?"

"..." Donna suddenly felt that this sentence made sense, but she felt that she was obedient, but it was indeed true when she thought about it, "Ningning, you are right."

"So, don't be sad, the weather is a little bit cold now, don't eat these fast food tonight, let's eat hot pot."

"Hot pot?" Ashe's eyes lit up, "I have eaten it. Back when my grandfather went to do business with you, he had hot pot. When I was young, I often talked about the food on your side. Ning Ning also Can you make hot pot?"

"Yes, it's not troublesome. If you are interested, I can teach you." Xu Ning greeted the two of them to the kitchen, "Let's go together, you won't have food if you don't help."

"Come here." When Donna heard that there was a delicious mysterious food, she didn't care about the love that died out in less than a week. She jumped up and followed Xu Ning to the kitchen.

Ashe and Donna are both poor and delicate girls. Although the family conditions of the two families are very good, Ashe’s father is a veterinarian and runs a large ranch, while Donna’s father is a lawyer and mother. It is a pediatrician. The two are neighbors. They both live in villas with lawn yards, which are particularly spacious.

When Xu Ning was a child, the conditions at home were not good, and some foods were good, and he didn't pay attention to anything.

Besides, eating hot pot is called lively in one pot. One person has one pot, and it doesn’t look like eating hot pot.

Because it was the first time for the two of them to eat, Xu Ning was going to make a clear soup pot bottom. She went out this afternoon and bought two fresh lambs. After returning, she arranged them and put them in the refrigerator. The main reason was that fresh lambs were difficult to slice. It is inevitable that the two do not like mutton. She also bought pork and beef. Although Xu Ning has never eaten beef hot pot, she is still skeptical.

The vegetables are all in her space, and the fruits don't worry, wait until after the meal.

Ashe and Donna arranged the vegetables next to them, while Xu Ning fried peanuts in a frying pan, and then sprinkled a thin layer of salt on them, which can be used for wine and vegetables.

Half an hour later, there were nearly twenty large and small plates on the table.

Xu Ning said to Ashe: "Don't make too much tonight, will you still have morning class tomorrow?"

"Well, don't worry, I drink very well."

Xu Ning brought the chili sauce, garlic, chopped green onion and other seasonings. Of course, sesame sauce is essential for hot pot.

When she went abroad, her mother brought him dozens of catties of sesame sauce, which she stuffed directly into the space. In fact, there were a lot of things in her space. Even the tofu mom took her to buy some, as well as domestic Oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc., anyway, the girl’s space is kept fresh forever, so there is no need to worry about it being broken. When the purchase was made that day, the consumption was not low.

Seeing the bowl of yellow things, Donna's eyebrows frowned, but as Xu Ning slowly adjusted it, a strong fragrance floated out, and both of them felt that the smell was very good.

"Ningning, what is this?"

Xu Ning poured some into the two bowls separately, "This is sesame sauce. It is a seasoning made of sesame seeds. It is indispensable when eating hot pot."

The bottom of the pot is a seafood pot of scallops, oysters, clams and shrimps.

As the pot gradually heats up, steam is constantly pouring out of a small hole in the lid of the pot.

She turned down the alcohol stove below, opened the lid, and a strong seafood smell came out. The bottom of the pot was made of space water, and the taste was absolutely amazing.

The window of the kitchen was half open, and the scent wafted out of the kitchen. People outside almost didn't need to look up to know that this must have been caused by Xu Ning, an international student.

Since Xu Ning came here, they often smelled the hungry scent, and because they were not familiar with Xu Ning at all, they would not cheekily knock on the door to eat and drink.

Aixi and Donna added chopped green onion to the sesame sauce under Xu Ning’s guidance. Because they did not reject the chili sauce, a little bit of chili oil was added to it. Of course, the chili oil was fried by Yu Chunhua for Xu Ning. The taste is very mellow, but the spicy taste is not too strong.

Dip the oyster meat in a bowl with some sauce, then blow it into your mouth.

"Oh my God, what is this? Ningning, what is this?" Donna chewed twice. The deliciousness of the oysters was accompanied by the mellowness of sesame sauce and the slight spiciness. The three flavors were mixed together to form a more wonderful one. Donna’s whole body is bad for the taste, she was excited while eating and fussed in admiration, "Oh my God, it's really delicious."

Ashe could not calm down, because her grandfather had eaten Chinese hot pot and copied it after returning. The young Ashe liked it very much. After the death of her grandfather, although her mother had done it, it was a pity that the taste was always the same. wrong.

Now that I eat hot pot made by Xu Ning, I have forgotten the taste of hot pot made by my memory grandfather. This is not a level at all.

Not only oysters, but also scallops, plump clams and palm-sized shrimps, the two of them also ate with smiles. Of course, the shabu-boiled vegetables are dipped in condiments and the taste is unparalleled.

To the two of them, their vegetables are usually salads, and it is really the first time to eat them like this.

It is undeniable that when returning to China together, the two girls instantly became disgusted with their own country’s fast food and simple meals. No wonder Huaxia cuisine is world-renowned, and even a hot pot is so delicious. ?

Thinking of this, the two of them looked at Xu Ning in unison.

------Off-topic ------

There is nothing that can't be solved by one hot pot, if there are two meals!
