Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 272 - 272 Golden Sprout

272 Golden Sprout

There was also stewed chicken with mushrooms, which was fragrant and not greasy at all. Braised crucian carp was cooked with a thin layer of gravy, the color was bright red, looking very tempting.

Loofah soup tasted light.

There was also a plate of scrambled eggs, golden and glistening red, pleasing to the eye, and it smelt a little sweet and sour, which made people feel like devouring it immediately.

Yuezheng Xiao could not help but admire and respond with a smile. “Mrs. Shao made all of these, right? Brother Shao, you are so lucky!”

Hearing the words, Shao Yunduan felt very pleased. “My wife is very good at cooking, please, eat.”

“Okay, I just can’t wait!”

“Please!”

Xie Jingrong kept praising the food during the entire time, and Xie Jingrong, who was rarely talkative, agreed with Yuezheng Xiao.

They could not help but feel emotional. How could a rude person like County Magistrate Qiao have such a smart, wonderful daughter?

Moreover, County Magistrate Qiao had no idea about this at all!

He would have regretted deeply if he had known about this.

They had never eaten tomato with scrambled eggs before, and Yuezheng Xiao could not help but ask, after he had a taste of the fresh and sour dish.

Shao Yunduan had once watered the plants, so he said, “My wife brought this plant home from a wild field. She calls it tomatoes.”

Yuezheng Xiao asked Shao Yunduan to get some more for his own garden at home.

Shao Yunduan smiled. “I will talk about this with my wife.”

Yuezheng Xiao laughed and teased. “You are so much fun! Okay, you can talk about this!”

Xie Jingrong smiled and admired Shao Yunduan. Very few people respected their wife in this way.

After lunch, Liu Yan and Yang Xiaoni came to clean up the table, whilst in the kitchen, Qiao Xuan and Taotao boiled some water and made some new tea to serve them.

Qiao Xuan brought out the tea leaves she had taken home.

After a few times, they had continued to process tea leaves at home.

Tea leaves could be sold too, and the leaves should not be wasted.

Therefore, when Ms. Fang asked Liu Yan to serve them the tea, she used the rough leaves.

But when Qiao Xuan served them, she offered the tea that had an amber, yellow tinge.

Xie Jingrong and Yuezheng Xiao’s expressions changed, as they smelled it.

Yuezheng Xiao took a sip and turned to Xie Jingrong with surprise. “Brother Xie, please, take a sip and tell me. Am I confused or something, how can this taste so much like golden sprout?”

“Golden sprout?” Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan exchanged a look between themselves and she smiled. “That seems like a nice name!”

Xie Jingrong tasted the tea, slowly put down the teacup, and gave Shao Yunyun and Qiao Xuan a complicated look. “This is definitely golden sprout, absolutely right! Is this what you found in the mountains? Unfortunately, it is not a good way to fry it. It is slightly jerky. The tea leaves are also a little browned, the color is not correct, and the fragrance is not fully soaked.”

“But it is first-class tea, and the well-processed golden sprout would cost at least 40 liang per half a kilo!”

Yuezheng Xiao could not help but feel speechless. “Brother Shao, you really have everything! The tea leaves you offer are so expensive and rare!”
