Chapter 269 Brother Shao, you are really generous
Qiao Xuan thought about it, and told Liu Yan to kill a chicken. She went to the flower field to pick some wolfberry sprouts, and went to the vegetable garden to pick some fresh loofah and beans. She dug some yam from the cellar and cut a handful of leeks. She went home and asked Liu Yan to wash them.
I went to the garden and picked two big, round watermelons and soaked them in spring water, and also picked several tomatoes the size of eggs.
They were both in for a treat, as they hadn't even eaten the tomatoes since they were ripe.
At noon, I stewed chicken with porcini and hericium erinaceus, coated crucian carp with a thin layer of flour paste and fried it in a frying pan. Then I braised and roasted a lot of small river shrimps from the previous two days, stir-fried leeks, steamed mandarin fish, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and loofah soup.
Green beans, wolfberry sprouts and yam are all used as cold dishes.
Cut the beans into two-inch long segments, blanch them and place them neatly on a plate, sprinkle a little salt and drizzle with sesame paste.
After blanching the wolfberry sprouts, just mix them with sesame oil, salt and vinegar.
After blanching the yam slices and soaked black fungus, season them together and add some chopped green onions.
There was a table full of home-cooked dishes, a combination of meat and vegetables. The meat dishes were clean and tidy, and the vegetables were fresh and tender. For a country farmer, it was quite presentable.
Le Zhengxiao was an impatient person. After sitting for a short while, he started wandering around the yard. Shao Yunduan had no choice but to accompany him.
Seeing the spring water in the backyard, Le Zhengxiao was delighted and said with a smile: "Brother Shao, your family is really great. Where did you get this spring water from? It's so interesting to look at it!"
Shao Yunduan smiled. He didn't find it interesting, but it was really convenient to use.
Two large jars more than half a person tall not far from the spring pool inevitably attracted the attention of the two men.
Le Zhengxiao leaned over to take a look, and his eyes widened with a "Huh!" He said, "Fish! So many fish! Brother Shao, your family is really great, raising so many fish! Many of them I don't even recognize!"
Xie Jingrong also took a look and was even more surprised and surprised. He couldn't help but sighed: "Yes, I have never seen so many kinds of fish!"
This was absolutely true. The fish that the young master saw were either goldfish and koi kept in the pond in the mansion, or cooked fish on the dining table.
I have never seen such down-to-earth fish, especially with so many species and swimming in so many different ways.
Shao Yunduan said, "These fish were brought back from the river by my brothers. Since we can't eat them all at once, we keep them and catch them whenever we want."
"Great! This fish is so lively and it looks so fresh and delicious! Brother Shao's family is really nice!"
Le Zhengxiao admired sincerely and even felt a little envious.
Xie Jingrong suddenly raised his eyebrows, walked towards a courtyard wall, and stared at several pots of orchids placed on a simple wooden rack without saying a word, his expression very focused.
Le Zhengxiao was so angry that he also went over, "Oh, this is an orchid! This orchid is also growing vigorously! It exudes a spirit of energy!"
Shao Yunduan smiled: "I brought these back from the mountains. I thought they looked good, so I brought them back to grow."
Xie Jingrong sighed, "Brother Shao, you are really carefree! These orchids are not ordinary varieties! These two pots are Chunjian, this is Suban Heding, this and this one look like Chunjian, but they are different, and the ones over here look like Feicui Lan and Mo Lan, but they are not exactly the same, they should all be variants."
"Brother Shao, Chunjian and Subanheding are hard to come by, but these varieties are hard to come by. Many people cannot cultivate a valuable variety in their lifetime, but I see that these varieties, brother Shao, are top-grade in leaves, shape, and color. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are worth a fortune!"
