Chapter 638 Goodbye Le Zhengting
In front of the pavilion is a small pond of about 13 or 14 square meters, in which beautiful koi and water lilies are raised. In the shallow water are clusters of unknown aquatic plants that are more than half a person tall and have golden flowers, which are full of vitality.
It can be said that this house is very much to the liking of Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan.
The two of them discussed that after Shao Yunduan finished his exams, he would go back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and then invite Fang and the others to stay for a few days, visit the provincial capital, and have some fun.
This place is not far from the small vegetable market. In the afternoon, Qiao Xuan went out with Liqiu and Lixia to buy vegetables. She planned to cook every day during the period of living here.
With Liqiu and Lixia helping out, it's not difficult to prepare three meals a day for just a few people.
I bought thirty eggs, a chicken, lamb ribs and other fresh vegetables that day. I stewed the chicken and braised the lamb ribs in brown sauce, and paired them with two vegetarian dishes.
Unexpectedly, Madam Le Zheng sent two food boxes over, which contained eight dishes and a soup.
How could they finish all the dishes? And the weather was too hot to keep them away, so Qiao Xuan simply gave half of each dish to the two maids and the doorman, who then took it home to feed their families.
The maids were very happy and thanked him.
From then on, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan settled down in the provincial capital with peace of mind.
At this time, many scholars from well-off families had already arrived in the provincial capital one after another, staying in their own villas, relatives' homes, or inns. They soon began to interact and make friends with each other, appreciating each other's articles and exchanging information. It was very lively.
Shao Yunduan would occasionally participate, but not often.
Although he did not show his relationship with Xie Jingrong openly, with Xie Jingrong around, his information was the earliest and most complete. Why should he mix with all kinds of people?
If you have more time, you might as well stay at home and study, or go out for a walk with Qiao Xuan to change your mood. Isn't that much better than this?
Qiao Xuan would occasionally visit Madam Le Zheng, who treated her as warmly and intimately as always, and they were very happy together.
Madam Le Zheng felt sorry for her hard work in cooking and even suggested that she could send a skilled cook and a maid to her place to be in charge of cooking, but Qiao Xuan declined.
Every day Lixia would go to the nearest vegetable market to buy fresh ingredients. With Lixia and Liqiu helping her, it was easy for Qiao Xuan to cook three dishes and a soup.
After all, this is the provincial capital, there is nothing missing, and she still likes cooking very much.
You can even buy beef every one or two days.
You have to know that in the county market, she had only bought beef three times in such a long time.
Nowadays, beef has become the most frequently appearing dish on their tables.
Stir-fried beef with green peppers, braised beef, West Lake beef soup, braised beef shank, beef hotpot, dry beef pot, fat beef slices cooked with sauerkraut, boiled beef, stewed beef brisket, and beef offal that can be stewed, fried or put in hotpot, etc., it's really satisfying.
When Qiao Xuan went to visit Madam Le Zheng for the third time, her good luck finally ran out and she met Le Zhengting.
Her scalp was tingling, and when Le Zhengting saw her, her pretty face darkened and she stood in front of her with a gust of wind: "Madam Shao, you still dare to come! Don't you feel guilty?"
The maid who was in charge of leading the way secretly groaned. She wanted to say something but didn't dare to, so she could only stand aside nervously.
Qiao Xuan was very puzzled: "Why did Miss Le Zheng say that?"
Le Zhengting was furious: "You lied to me again! Why? Where does Madam Shao live? Can't you tell me?"
