148 Intention
Otherwise, they were often those types of ladies who could not stand up because of the strike from the madame of the family and dared not say a thing.
Or, they were barely-seen but were cautious and dull.
Second Miss seemed to be really different.
Shao Yunduan was displeased. He said calmly, “I wonder if the dishes my wife has made are catering to your tastes. We have limited ingredients in the village and I apologize for that.”
His wife had taken so much effort to make a table full of dishes, and they were even suspecting if they were tasty?
How could a random lady make such dishes?
“What?” Yuezheng Xiao smiled. “Young Master Shao, you have been too modest. The smell has told us that the dishes are definitely going to be tasty, let’s just sit down and eat! We are starving!”
“Please!” Shao Yunduan smiled and asked Qiao Xuan to sit as well.
The eel chicken nuggets wrapped in the thick soup were salty and delicious, the eel meat was tender, and the chicken nuggets were fragrant, whetting everyone’s appet.i.te the moment they were eaten.
The eggplant dish was rich in garlic, and the eggplant meat was delicate. Vinegar had been added for a more unique flavor.
Shredded cabbage and dried loaches also had their own characteristics.
The lunch consisted of simple and ordinary dishes, but they grasped people’s heart, leaving unforgettable taste in people’s mind and mouth.
What surprised Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong was that the dishes were made of ordinary ingredients, but the way they were made had never been presented to them before, apart from the scallion egg and cabbage soup.
It was a huge surprise!
“Second Miss, you have cooked such great dishes, excellent!”
Yuezheng Xiao could not help but speak highly about the lunch.
Xie Jingrong was calmer than him, but he looked as if he agreed with what Yuezheng Xiao had said.
Qiao Xuan smiled and replied calmly, “These are just ordinary dishes, not really that amazing!”
Qiao Xuan had never been a good cook. She could make some ordinary dishes with not so outstanding tastes as before, but after she was equipped with the superpower, she seemed to be better at making dishes! She could control the fire well, and had developed a sharp culinary skill.
It was a subconsciously sharp sense.
Especially when it comes to vegetables.
Yuezheng Xiao laughed. “Second Miss, you are really modest!”
Food could definitely form a relationship between people. After lunch, the four people seemed to feel more relaxed among themselves, and talked a lot more.
The rain had ceased, and the clouds went away. It was sunny again, casting its light all over the land.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan were ready to head back soon.
The four of them waved goodbye to each other.
Yuezheng Xiao could not help but say. “We are staying in the county for some more days, you can come visit us when you have time, so we can treat you back.”
Shao Yunduan lowered his head slightly and replied politely. “The landscape is very beautiful, and there are paG.o.das, waterfalls to see, and we can travel by boat in the lake. We will definitely visit you, when we have time.”
Yuezheng Xiao laughed loudly. “Sounds good! We will all go there for a trip! See you around!”
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan left, as Yuezheng Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at Xie Jingrong. “It is worth the visit, isn’t it? We have met such interesting people here.”
Xie Jingrong threw a look at him, saying nothing more.
He had not expected that Yuezheng Xiao had opened his mind and admired so openly, whilst he was the one who kept falling into the pit…
On the way home, Shao Yunduan looked at Qiao Xuan and could not help but ask. “Do you intend to establish a relationship with them?”
