Chapter 343 Going Home for the Holidays
The two of them had a very happy lunch.
After all, this is the lunch that my parents asked me to prepare, and it would be very disrespectful not to eat it!
After lunch, the two said goodbye and left.
Mr. Qiao had disappeared long ago, so of course he wouldn't see us off. The others were even more disappointed.
The two of them got what they wanted and left the Qiao family smoothly.
As for Liu Yan? She disappeared after they entered the mansion, and Qiao Xuan seemed to have forgotten about such a person.
Shao Yunduan gently held Qiao Xuan's hand, suppressed his anger and said softly: "I will definitely pass the imperial examination and then become a Jinshi. From now on, I won't let them bully you like this anymore!"
Qiao Xuan smiled: "They are just strangers to me now. Since they are strangers, I don't care whether they are good to me or not! I believe you will do well in the exam, but don't be too obsessed, just keep a normal mind, keep a normal mind!"
Sometimes haste makes waste!
Shao Yunduan smiled, feeling a little relieved, "Don't worry, I know my limits!"
After a pause, he said, "Let's go home!"
Qiao Xuan raised the corners of her lips slightly, and looked at him with bright eyes: "Well, go home!"
The Mid-Autumn Festival is just two days away. My family made mooncakes and cooked many delicious dishes on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
I killed a duck and made crispy duck, bought lamb chops and made pan-fried lamb chops, and also had braised pig trotters that were so tender in my mouth, and crispy roast pork with a golden and crispy skin.
The fish and shrimp in the river are plump at this time of year. Two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qiao Xuan, Shao Xiaoqi and others went fishing specially. They had a good harvest, catching all kinds of fish. They were lucky enough to catch a two-legged fish.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, there was a large table filled with braised eel slices, prawns with tomato sauce, boiled fish fillets, and crispy river fish.
The family celebrated the festival in a lively manner.
What Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan didn't expect was that Le Zhengxiao actually sent someone to give them a holiday gift.
The provincial capital's dim sum shop sells carefully crafted mooncakes, six jars of fine wine, and several other dim sum, candied fruits, seasonal fruits, fresh lotus roots, and water chestnuts.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan both accepted them, especially the lotus roots and water chestnuts, which Qiao Xuan was particularly satisfied with.
Lotus root is delicious whether it is made into a cold dish, stewed in soup or stir-fried. Water chestnuts can also be stir-fried, but they taste better when steamed. They are original, tender, soft, fresh and delicious.
Coincidentally, many of the fruits in Qiao Xuan's garden had ripened.
Dates, pears, grapes, and pomegranates were common fruits, and Le Zhengxiao probably wouldn't be interested in them, so she picked four big Buddha's hands.
The Buddha's hand that grew up under the care of the supernatural power is particularly stylish and beautiful, a huge one, with long and straight claws, and it looks very majestic at first glance. The golden color is flawless.
Holding it in your hand, the strong orange scent makes you feel relaxed and happy.
This is a good thing for offering to Buddha. It is a must-have for wives and old ladies in wealthy families. However, it is not easy to buy one of this size and in such good condition.
In addition to Buddha's hand, figs were also ripe, with densely packed fruits on the branches. Qiao Xuan picked two full baskets and gave them to Qu Shan.
In addition, there are fresh mushrooms and fungus.
They are all home-grown products, but they are also not often available.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather gradually becomes cooler and the rice in the paddy fields enters its final growing period. In less than a month, it will be time for the autumn harvest.
I collected honey from the flower fields again and got about 20 kilograms of beeswax, which is enough for making lipstick at the moment.
