Qiao Xuan smiled. "Small tree buds are fine, or even so twigs are alright."
First Mada smiled. "Xuan, you do have good judgnt. You like nothing except these expensive ones!"
Auntie Hua laughed. "Very true!"
First Mada said, "Your uncle has been interested in those trees for a long ti. 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!"
"So of the tree buds grew up, so failed to live, but those in Southern Garden grew best!"
"I will fetch so suitable ones from the other two abbeys, and give them to you. Or I can just get Xiao to buy so back. Twigs are useless, not that I am too stingy to share so with you!"
First Mada would not turn down what Qiao Xuan asked for, though what she had asked for seed quite unexpected.
Her husband loved those things, and would not be stingy as to not share any with Qiao Xuan. He could just buy so more buds and breed so 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 Mada.
Although Qiao Xuan tried to conceal her anxiety, First Mada still sensed how anxious she was about it.
Alright then, she could get her so twigs.
Anyways, she was going to get the tree buds as well, so Xiao could deliver those to her place later.
First Mada did not believe that twigs were useful.
But she pretended that she believed her. "Okay, that sounds good. Auntie Hua, just get so twigs and tie them up for her."
"Okay, First Mada!"
"Thank you, Aunt!"
"No worries." First Mada 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 rembered 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 Mada 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 Mada was accompanying Qiao Xuan and Taotao.
First Mada 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..
