Chapter 147: Borrowing Flowers to Offer to Buddha
Qiao Xuan smiled and agreed, and gave the sister-in-law three taels of silver.
The eldest sister-in-law happily went to the neighbor's house, gave him thirty cents and said a few words. The neighbor's two children, who were about eleven or twelve years old, immediately ran out.
The sister-in-law came back and killed a rooster, and then went to the vegetable garden to pull garlic sprouts, onions, cabbage and eggplants as Qiao Xuan had asked.
After the chicken was plucked, cut into pieces and blanched, and all kinds of vegetables and seasonings were prepared, the two neighbor children also came back.
Three eels were delivered.
In this kind of weather, the water in the field ditches rises, and loaches and eels are the most abundant, and they can be easily caught.
The two children went to the ditch beside the fields at the entrance of the village to catch eels.
In addition to the eels, we also got a dozen loaches and gave them to them as a gift.
After all, this thing is worthless and is only suitable for feeding chickens and ducks.
Qiao Xuan likes it very much. There are many ways to cook loach, but the host's sister-in-law doesn't have all the seasonings and ingredients, so she can only coat it with egg batter and fry it in a pan to make a dry-fried dish.
With the help of the host's sister-in-law and Shao Yunduan, lunch was ready quickly.
Eel and chicken cubes, stir-fried loach, garlic eggplant, shredded cabbage, fried egg with green onions, and a light cabbage soup.
The boss's sister-in-law looked heartbroken and stunned, just like Qiao Xuan had when she was cooking at home before, but when she thought about the three hundred coins in her arms, she held back and said nothing.
This meal, including the chicken, only cost a hundred coins. I made a fortune. Let the guests waste as much as they like.
What surprised her even more was that Mr. Shao actually had to wash the pots, wash the vegetables, and light the fire, doing all the dirty and miscellaneous chores, while Mrs. Shao only had to move the spatula in the kitchen, which was really easy for her.
The boss's sister-in-law was extremely envious: "Mrs. Shao is so lucky! Mr. Shao is so considerate and hardworking."
Mr. Shao looks gentle and kind, and he is willing to work. Men in his family don't like to go into the kitchen to do these chores.
After hearing this, Qiao Xuan glanced at Shao Yunduan, who seemed a little embarrassed, pursed her lips and smiled at the boss's sister-in-law, with curved eyebrows, obviously agreeing with her words.
Shao Yunduan secretly looked at her once, and then looked at her again, pretending to be calm and composed, but in fact his heart was churning, and there was also a little sweetness.
Before the meal was served, Qiao Xuan asked for a clean bowl and gave some eel slices, roast chicken pieces, green onions and eggs to the host's sister-in-law.
The boss's sister-in-law and her family went out to work, leaving only her and her little daughter and son at home. The two children were only a few years old. They watched Qiao Xuan cooking and smelled the food, secretly swallowing their saliva with their eyes wide open, but they were sensible and didn't make a fuss.
I know that these are things that the guests paid for and are not my own products.
How could Qiao Xuan see it like this?
"Sister-in-law and the children, please have a taste!"
"Oh my, how can I say this!" The boss's sister-in-law was surprised and happy, but also felt a little sorry. Seeing the light in the two children's eyes, she did not refuse in the end. She said a few polite words, then thanked them with a smile and accepted it.
When the food was served, Le Zhengxiao and Xie Jingrong were both stunned.
Le Zhengxiao looked at the food suspiciously, then at Qiao Xuan.
Those narrow peach blossom eyes were full of doubt: Did you really do this?
Even Xie Jingrong was secretly surprised. He couldn't help but think of Le Zhengxiao's words. She was really different from all the concubines they had met.
Any concubine's daughter is either favored or spoiled by her stepmother, becoming overbearing and stupid.
