Chapter 613: Lunch in Qinxiang Garden
Fubao kept pushing aside the curtain to look outside all the way, so Wanquan simply lifted the curtain to let her see enough. Anyway, it wasn't very cold for both of them, and it was a sunny day today, so it was a good time to bask in the sun.
To go to the Delicacy Garden, you have to pass through some of the gardens in the twenty-four solar terms.
These gardens are not surrounded by red tiles and white walls. Some of the gardens have many green plants planted on the borders, and some are decorated with bamboo. The plaques of the gardens are casually placed next to these green plants, and the shapes of the plaques are directly engraved with the names of the gardens. The fonts are different, but each one is free and elegant. It can be seen that the owner of the font must be a free and unrestrained person.
"Wow, big brother, it smells so good, it's wintersweet."
Fubao has a very sensitive nose. When he passed by Lichun Garden, a fragrance penetrated his nostrils.
"I have smelled this flower, it smells really good. How many wintersweets do we need to plant to have a fragrance that can spread ten miles?"
Fubao was full of curiosity at this time and wanted to go in to take a look at the beauty of the garden, but she wanted to go to the Food Garden to eat delicious food more, so she held back.
Wan Quan looked at Fu Bao and said with a low laugh, "After dinner, let's take a good walk around the garden."
"Okay."
The carriage came all the way to the Gourmet Garden and stopped at the gate.
"Big brother, I can already smell the aroma of roasted chicken, it's really delicious!"
Fubao couldn't wait to crawl under the carriage, but was pulled back by Wanquan.
"Brother will carry you there, don't worry."
Fubao was carried down from the carriage by Wanquan. The Jiayao Garden was different from other gardens. It was a large house like a palace, with a simple and elegant shape, and green trees shading the red walls and golden tiles.
When the two stepped into the food garden, they saw many people coming and going inside. Some of them were carrying food boxes, while others were holding plates full of food and finding a place to eat with a few friends.
In this garden, there are many pavilions, scattered at different heights, as well as rockery, flowing water, and towering buildings.
Fubao looked up and saw someone sitting by the window in the attic on the second floor, drinking and chatting happily.
The two walked into the hall and as soon as they entered the door, they saw a very long rectangular dining table in the middle. Fubao had never seen this table before, and it was completely different from the dining table at home.
The table is not flat, it has two layers on top, and each layer is filled with steaming food. Guests can take whatever they want to eat. It is very convenient and innovative. Because there are so many guests and everyone has different tastes, all the famous dishes from Daqi are cooked here to take everyone into consideration.
Even Wan Quan was deeply moved. No wonder those old antiques liked to come here. He already knew the reason. There were so many good wines here.
The top layer of the dining table is filled with famous wines from all over Da Qi. You can’t buy them outside, and only here can you find such a complete selection.
Those old guys just love to drink, no wonder they come to Qinxiang Garden whenever they have a day off.
While Wan Quan was looking at the drinks, Xiao Fubao's hands had already reached out to the table. He was holding half a roasted chicken in his left hand and a chicken leg in his right hand, and his mouth was full of oil from eating.
Wan Quan looked down and saw Fubao gnawing on a chicken leg while his eyes were searching for something he liked. His expression perfectly demonstrated the saying "eat from the bowl while looking at the pot".
Wanquan smiled helplessly and doted on him, took out a gray handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the corner of Fubao's mouth.
"What else do you want to eat? Brother will get it for you. Let's find a place to sit down and eat. What do you think?"
"Hmm, umm..."
Fubao had a big mouthful of roasted chicken in her mouth and was mumbling something, so it was impossible to hear what she was saying. However, Wanquan knew that she agreed, so he held her in his arms and found a seat by the window on the first floor so that it would be convenient for her to pick up the food.
After settling Fubao down, Wanquan went to get the plates of food that Fubao had just been looking at with her feet up, took a little of each, and got some other pastries for her according to his memory of Fubao's preferences.
The two of them filled the table.
"If these aren't enough, I'll get more."
Fubao quickly waved his hands and swallowed hard, then he spoke clearly: "Big brother, that's enough, no need to take more, we can't finish it, we can't waste it, many people at the border don't have enough to eat."
After hearing this, Wan Quan couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He could do his best to protect the border of Da Qi from being invaded, and this was his goal in his life, but he couldn't fill the people's stomachs. This was not his strong point.
Fu Bao saw Wan Quan's expression change slightly, and knew that his elder brother must have overthought, so he quickly explained: "Brother, I know that you and Brother Mo are doing your best to protect Da Qi, but the food and clothing of the people are not your responsibility. Don't worry, when my husband and I return to the border, we will definitely make sure the people at the border have enough food."
"Sister, I know you are different from other children since you were young. You are born with good fortune. I hope your good fortune can bless the people and let everyone no longer suffer from hunger and cold. Your husband is very capable. Brother Mo wrote to me and told me that your husband is actually from the Jia family in Jiangnan. Your brother Xingchen has told this to your brother Mo. He wrote to me and told me not to worry. He has arranged people to help Mr. Jia get redress. But the best result may be redress. The lost property may not be recovered, but Mr. Jia should be able to continue doing business."
"That's good enough. As long as you can continue to do business, I believe you can definitely revive the Jia family. You have a little lucky treasure like me."
Fubao patted his chest with a smile.
"Yes, we all have you as our little blessing."
Wan Quan looked at Fubao with a smile on his face.
The two of them ate quickly. After Fubao was full, she felt sleepy, but she still had tasks to complete today, so she couldn't fall asleep.
"Brother, shall we go for a walk in the garden and take a look at the Herbal Fragrance Garden?"
"Okay, brother will hold you."
Wanquan picked up Fubao and walked out.
The Yaoxiang Garden is located in the northwest corner of Qinxiang Garden. It is remote and only open to people who are interested in medicine and doctors. It is difficult for ordinary people to enter because there are some precious medicinal materials in it. Ordinary people do not know how to enter and it is easy to destroy them. In addition, some flowers and plants are poisonous. If tourists accidentally touch them, they may die.
"Big brother, Yaoxiang Garden is a bit far, can you make it? Fubao wants to walk, can we not take the carriage?"
"What's this distance? If you want to go, let's go. There's no point in taking a carriage."
"Big brother is so nice." Fubao hugged Wanquan's neck and giggled and flattered him.
Wan Quan was so charmed by Fu Bao's flattery that he could no longer tell the directions. He just followed Fu Bao wherever he was told to go. After all, he had no memory of the map at all, but Fu Bao could remember it clearly.
