Qiao Xuan smiled. “Small tree buds are fine, or even some twigs are alright.”
First Madame smiled. “Xuan, you do have good judgment. You like nothing except these expensive ones!”
Auntie Hua laughed. “Very true!”
First Madame said, “Your uncle has been interested in those trees for a long time. He has bred many of these just to make wonderful furniture. He was worried that they would not be enough, so 30 years ago, he planted many tree buds in the Southern Garden, as well as in other gardens of ours!”
“Some of the tree buds grew up, some failed to live, but those in Southern Garden grew best!”
“I will fetch some suitable ones from the other two abbeys, and give them to you. Or I can just get Xiao to buy some back. Twigs are useless, not that I am too stingy to share some with you!”
First Madame would not turn down what Qiao Xuan asked for, though what she had asked for seemed quite unexpected.
Her husband loved those things, and would not be stingy as to not share any with Qiao Xuan. He could just buy some more buds and breed some more.
Qiao Xuan simply could not wait tor the tree buds, but smiled. , “Aunt, you don’t have to make such a fuss. I am very good at planting trees and flowers. You can just give the twigs, I can definitely breed them well. Tree buds are not needed.” First Madame.
Although Qiao Xuan tried to conceal her anxiety, First Madame still sensed how anxious she was about it.
Alright then, she could get her some twigs.
Anyways, she was going to get the tree buds as well, so Xiao could deliver those to her place later.
First Madame did not believe that twigs were useful.
But she pretended that she believed her. “Okay, that sounds good. Auntie Hua, just get some twigs and tie them up for her.”
“Okay, First Madame!”
“Thank you, Aunt!”
“No worries.” First Madame smiled. “Oh, what kind of twigs do you want, tell
Auntie Hua about it.”
Qiao Xuan thought for a while and smiled. “They don’t have to be too big or long, also, no withered twigs.”
She made a gesture. “This size will do!”
Auntie Hua nodded. “I have remembered it all!”
The turn of events pleased Qiao Xuan a great deal.
Done!
She had a feeling that after this, the space would definitely give her a lot of surprise.
After walking for a while, First Madame took them back to the house for tea, snacks and a casual conversation.
At lunch, Yuezheng Xiao stayed with Shao Yunduan and Qi whilst the First Madame was accompanying Qiao Xuan and Taotao.
First Madame had made a lot of efforts for this lunch. She transferred the chef from the mansion and started to make preparations the night before. The dishes were made with a lot of effort, and they were, of course, exquisite and delicious.
Almost every noble family had their private dishes and special pastries. So did the Yuezheng Family.
The Yuezheng Family’s famous dishes were clear soup cubilose and abalone knuckles.
The clear soup was extracted from chicken, duck, elbow, scallops, ham, and the soup was clear as water. The cubilose was smooth and soft but did not break when eaten. The freshness in the mouth was just indescribably wonderful.
The abalone knuckles were flavored with a special broth, and the sauce was thick and bright, as oil and fat were removed, so the whole dish was soft and delicious..
