Chapter 461: Can Only Watch Others Act So Courageously
"Our Yunduan is really capable! This is what a scholar should do! Since we are friends, we should return the gift properly."
Qiao Xuan nodded and smiled: "Mom is right."
Now there were plenty of empty rooms in the house, and there was room to park the carriage and tie up the horses, so Qu Shan and the coachman stayed in the big house for one night and left the next day.
There were so many gifts, and Qiao Xuan and Fang distributed them one by one. Xu, Yang Xiaoni, Taotao and everyone else got one. Everyone knew that this was thanks to Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan, and they all thanked them with a smile.
Mrs. Xu was once again thankful that she did not have the heart to haggle with her fifth brother's wife, otherwise she would not be able to live such a comfortable life today!
Fresh lamb is the most delicious. For dinner, Qiao Xuan made pan-fried lamb chops, braised lamb ribs in sauce, and lamb soup stewed with yam.
The roast suckling pig was also cut in half and served on the table. The skin was rosy in color, the meat was tender, fat but not greasy, and every bite was an excellent enjoyment.
The whole family praised it highly, and Qiao Xuan also loved this dish very much.
You should know that this is a dish that is not easy to make. It is not sold in ordinary restaurants. Only famous restaurants will make it if their regular customers pay a deposit in advance. You can't taste it easily.
However, roast suckling pig is not easy to get, but you can try to use pork belly to make roast pork at home, which has the same crispy skin and tender meat!
The next morning, Qiao Xuan and others loaded the prepared return gifts onto the carriage and asked Qu Shan to take them back.
There are homemade bacon, sausage, and cured fish, as well as fresh mushrooms, black fungus, and white fungus picked from the mushroom shed, dried chestnuts and honey brought back from the mountains, as well as some winter bamboo shoots, dried radishes, dried beans, and other dried vegetables, all of which are produced here.
Qu Shan thanked him with a smile and accepted the food on behalf of his master. He left at daybreak with the hot mutton and scallion dumplings in his pocket.
The people in the eldest branch of the Shao family are very kind. They specially made and steamed buns last night, and heated them up early in the morning for them to eat on the way. They also boiled several eggs and packed a lot of candies, melon seeds and other snacks for them to eat to relieve their boredom on the way. Before they left, they also gave each of them a red envelope of two taels of silver.
So even though the journey was long, they never disliked the task. Instead, they looked forward to it every time.
Because there is always something delicious to satisfy my cravings.
Not to mention the big buns with thin skin and rich fillings, last night's lamb ribs and lamb chops were really delicious.
The villagers have become accustomed to seeing another horse-drawn carriage going to the Shao family's main house. Besides, the Shao family's main house is so big and has such a large yard that it is not convenient to just watch the fun.
Second Uncle Shao and Third Uncle Shao had just said something they shouldn't have said a few days ago and asked Fang to be kicked out, so the two families didn't dare to come to the house at the moment.
I can only complain a few words at home.
Widow Sun was even more jealous than them. Every time she saw the eldest wife of the Shao family getting better and better, the poisonous snake called "regret" gnawed deeper and deeper in her heart.
If she had taken the initiative and married Qingqing to Shao Yunduan, how proud she would be today!
Now I can only watch others being proud!
Widow Sun felt that she could no longer tolerate this, so she met with her lover in private, and used both soft and hard tactics, acting capriciously and insisting that her lover find a way to deal with the people in the eldest branch of the Shao family.
"That Fang, she's so angry that she's turned her nose up to the sky when she sees me. She's making me so angry! I can't get over it if I don't let her anger out!"
Widow Sun was troubled by her mistress, so she had no choice but to agree: "Okay, I'll think about it, I'll find a way, don't worry."
"Well, you must remember this! Otherwise, I won't forgive you!"
"Okay, okay, I'll remember it, I'll remember it"
