Chapter 165 This is such a waste of money
Although she was envious of her fifth brother's wife for making a lot of money, she knew her own limitations. After the Gastrodia elata incident, she realized that some things were not something she could do on her own.
So although I am envious, I am also more happy.
After all, if my fifth brother's wife is well, it will definitely benefit my family.
Besides, my fifth brother's wife said that there will be more work in the future, and the wages will be paid to me. For example, today, I took 40 coins. If I hand in 20 coins, I can still have 20 coins left, which is not a small amount.
To celebrate the good thing that happened today, Qiao Xuan cooked again in the evening.
Well, there was no meat or game in the house, but there was a duck.
I bought two a few days ago. I killed one for meat during the Dragon Boat Festival and kept the other one, which I can kill and eat today.
Chop the duck meat, chop the garlic sprouts and green peppers, fry the peanuts in a pan until crispy, then crush them, stir-fry them together, mix them with the flour to make some steamed buns, and eat them with the fried duck meat.
Cut the rest into pieces and stew them with the dried bamboo shoots.
Take two crucian carps from the large water tank in the backyard, fry them until both sides are slightly browned, then add water, chopped sauerkraut and dried chilies and cook.
Then catch a fat catfish and stew it with fresh eggplant. The catfish is fat but not greasy, and the eggplant is fresh and fragrant, which complement each other.
Add some stir-fried green beans and some cold-mixed garlic lettuce, which is light and refreshing and just the right amount to relieve the greasiness.
Every time Qiao Xuan cooks, it is the happiest time for the whole family. Even the two children, Shao Junyan and Shao Qing, who are still ignorant and don’t know anything, will be delighted when they see their fifth aunt cooking.
When Uncle Shao saw that the family was filled with fish and meat, he felt a little sorry for the money. The fish was fine, but why would they kill a duck when it wasn't a festival?
When will people in the countryside be able to live like this!
This is such a waste of money!
But he only looked at Qiao Xuan and didn't say anything. Qiao Xuan would say that this was bought with her dowry and she was happy to buy it for her family. What could he say?
So Uncle Shao could only eat while feeling guilty towards the second and third wives.
The next day, Qiao Xuan asked Shao Xiaoqi and Taotao to accompany her into the city and refused to let Shao Yunduan go.
Shao Yunduan’s main task is to review her lessons, so it’s not possible for him to accompany her to the city every few days.
I had already agreed with Le Zhengxiao and the others that this time I would just bring the lipstick to him to see. It didn't matter if Shao Yunduan didn't go.
Her attitude was firm and Shao Yunduan had no choice but to give in.
He repeatedly told her to cover her face and not let anyone from the Qiao family see her.
The three of them entered the city and went straight to the inn.
Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao had never seen such a handsome and wealthy young man before. They were a little reserved and timid, and their whole bodies were stiff when they sat down.
Qiao Xuan comforted the two of them softly.
There will be many times in the future when she will need their help. If she takes them out to meet more people and experience more things, things will naturally get better over time.
It is normal for country people to feel restrained and at a loss when they first meet a rich young man from the city.
No matter how much you talk about things like worldly experience, it is useless. Only by seeing it with your own eyes and experiencing it personally can you improve.
"I wonder what good things Mrs. Shao brought me. Take them out and let me open my eyes!" Le Zhengxiao joked with a smile.
He is really curious!
The second young lady of the Qiao family is so interesting!
Xie Jingrong was there too. He was also full of curiosity, but not as unrestrained as Le Zhengxiao.
Qiao Xuan smiled: "If it's not a good thing, I wouldn't dare to show it to Master Le Zheng!"
