Chapter 1322 Half Day in the Mountains
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "There are quite a lot of things to do. If you are too busy, just tell me and ask Qingyan to run errands and help out. We still have plenty of time now, so don't be too anxious!"
Songshi was about to perform, so why would he let Qingyan interfere? Even helping out was not an option!
"I can do it myself, Madam, don't worry!"
Qiao Xuan smiled and nodded, and said nothing more.
Let's wait until next year and plant more fruit trees around this farm, such as pomegranates, persimmons, grapes, apples, peaches, loquats, walnuts, dates, pears, hawthorns, etc. If she wasn't afraid that it would be too shocking, Qiao Xuan would have wanted to plant longan, lychee, mango, and grapefruit!
However, it doesn’t matter if it can’t be arranged, because she has it in her space.
We can also raise some chickens, ducks and geese on this manor. If conditions permit, we can also raise a few goats so that we can drink goat milk when it is produced.
With chickens, ducks and geese, we can be self-sufficient in eggs and meat.
In this way, even if we live in the capital, we have to be self-sufficient and have no shortage of vegetables and meat.
At present, the main courtyard of the manor has not been fully decorated yet. Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan met the people, explained the things clearly, and prepared to leave.
It was still early, and Qiao Xuan was eager to climb the nearby hills for a stroll.
Autumn is the best time for mountain climbing.
"If you're lucky, you might even be able to find some mountain mushrooms! There are more mushrooms in the northern mountains in autumn than in spring, and they're especially plump and delicious!"
With her around, our luck will definitely be very good!
Shao Yunduan smiled and said, "In that case, why don't we just have lunch here before going up the mountain! Just ask Lixia and Liqiu to cook us a bowl of noodles."
It’s been half a day, I can’t go climbing on an empty stomach.
Qiao Xuan smiled and agreed, then let Lixia and Liqiu borrow the servants' kitchen to cook something to eat.
There is also a kitchen for the owner in the main courtyard, but it has not been properly decorated yet. After everything is purchased slowly, it will be no problem for Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan to come and stay for a few days when they have nothing to do.
Soon Lixia and Liqiu came with the prepared noodles. The freshly rolled noodles were thin, white, and exuded an enticing noodle aroma.
There is no broth, but there is meat, which is chopped and fried with garlic, scallions, and chilies and poured over the noodles. A handful of coriander is sprinkled on it. It is served steaming hot and fragrant.
After eating the noodles, they asked Lixia, Liqiu and Qingyan to wait at the farm, and then went up the mountain carrying a basket.
The beginning of summer and the beginning of autumn are nothing new to me, and the master doesn't want them to be an eyesore!
Qingyan was a little uneasy, and couldn't help but secretly ask his two sisters: "Sister Lixia, Sister Liqiu, isn't it inappropriate for the master and the mistress to go up the mountain by themselves? We can help carry the baskets if we follow them! If it's a difficult place to walk, we can also explore the way first."
Lixia laughed, "You are quite clever and thoughtful! However, you don't have to use your cleverness and thoughtfulness on this. The master and mistress like to climb mountains, so they don't need anyone to serve them."
Li Qiu also smiled and said, "Our master and mistress are not powerless. If they say they don't need it, then they don't need it. We can just wait here. This farm is pretty good. It would be nice to go around and have a look!"
After hearing what they said, Qingyan smiled and felt relieved.
