Chapter 188 I feel happy just thinking about it
The aunt and sister-in-law talked for a while, and then went for a walk in the garden together.
There are still quite a few loquats, plums, mulberries and bayberries in the garden, hanging on the branches, very tempting.
While they were eating, they each picked some with a basket, washed them and put them aside for the whole family to eat.
The wild lemons have grown to a fairly large size, as have the peaches, and also the dates, persimmons, pears, grapes, and figs.
There is also a patch of watermelons, with vines crawling all over the ground, a large area of deep green, which is very attractive.
The round watermelons are big and small, the big one is as big as two bowls. Qiao Xuan thinks that if she urges them to come tomorrow, they will be able to eat watermelons in a few days.
It makes me happy just thinking about it.
The pomegranates are also in bloom, and they are particularly bright and dazzling. No wonder there is a line in ancient poetry that goes “The pomegranate flowers in May are so bright that they catch the eyes.”
The Panax notoginseng and Psoralea corylifolia that were planted have already sprouted and grown more than two inches tall. The Gastrodia elata is even more vigorous and neatly grown.
When Shao Taotao saw these medicinal herbs, she became particularly cautious and her eyes lit up, because these were all silver!
Although it was not hers, she was happy for her fifth sister-in-law.
In the evening, everyone came back and everyone knew that a maid had come to the house.
This kind of thing is a new thing for farmers, so Liu Yan received many curious and inquisitive glances, looking at her as if they were looking at something rare.
Liu Yan was secretly proud of herself, and she held her head high and puffed out her chest unconsciously. She thought to herself that you country bumpkins, fools, naturally have never seen the style of a girl like me who comes from an official family.
You know, the maids in wealthy families are much more noble and respectable than the girls in ordinary families!
And she came from a family of officials, which was even higher than a wealthy family.
When these crude country folk saw her, they would naturally feel ashamed and envious!
Others were surprised to see that she looked smug, wondering what she was so proud of.
Only Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan could see her true intention, and they were both speechless.
There was no meat at home today, so Qiao Xuan fished out two crucian carps from the big water tank in the backyard and braised them.
There are plenty of fish and shrimps in the river. Ever since he tasted the delicious fish meat, Shao Xiaoqi would go and get some back whenever he saw that the fish in the two large water tanks that were more than half a person tall were almost finished.
So there is no need to worry about food.
Qiao Xuan is used to cooking the meat dishes at home - Xu, Shao Taotao and others are responsible for preparing the ingredients.
Seeing Qiao Xuan going into the kitchen to work, Liu Yan hid far away, fearing that Qiao Xuan would ask her to help.
She was even more contemptuous and gloating in her heart. The Second Miss's life was so miserable! She was worse than a maid like her.
At least she had never done any rough work in the kitchen.
Well, she must remember this matter and tell the young lady later. The young lady will definitely be happy.
Qiao Xuan made braised crucian carp and steamed egg custard and left the kitchen.
Xu also stir-fried yam slices and stewed green beans.
I cooked some loofah soup and then set the table for dinner.
Qiao Xuan was a little cunning, and Liu Yan was sent to the kitchen by Qiao Xuan without even having the chance to see the braised crucian carp and steamed egg custard.
"There aren't so many rules in the country. We don't need you to wait on us when we eat. You should do the same in the future. Just eat in the kitchen by yourself."
Liu Yan: “.”
Serving them a meal? What good things do they have in mind!
Please vote, sisters...
