Chapter 1461: Chapter 1461 Boating on the Lake 4
“Lady Moon, eight zhang tall; rides a white horse, carries a foreign sword; the foreign sword is swift, chopping cabbages; the cabbages old, chopping cotton coats; the coat’s cotton, chopping purple lotus; the purple lotus is purple, chopping hemp seeds; the hemp seeds are hemp, chopping bean sprouts; the bean sprouts are beans, cutting cured at; the cured at is cured, cutting bitter lon; the bitter lon is bitter, cutting a tiger; when the tiger glares, four plates and eight bowls!”
Lu Erxiong was twisting his butt and waving his little hands, now and then making ghost faces to scare Dundun and Zhuangzhuang as a rowing boat slowly approached them, carrying hearty laughter.
Qingxue turned her head and saw Luo Cheng, accompanied by Luo Xiaobao and Luo Peng, with a guard following them.
“Fubao!” Luo Peng waved energetically, his face beaming brightly with very white and bright teeth.
Fubao muttered, “stinky rogue,” and turned her back on him.
Supporting himself with a cane, Luo Cheng leaned forward and laughed: “Erxiong, what are you singing? It sounds really nice, sing it again for grandpa, and grandpa will take you to Quanjude for Peking duck, I’ve already reserved seats. Xiaoxue, no refusals, once we finish this al, I need to take Xiaobao to stay at his uncle’s place for a while.”
Lu Erxiong looked at Qingxue and only repeated quickly after seeing her nod.
His speed was comparable to rapid-fire.
“I’ve finished singing, Grandpa Luo, rember your promise to treat us all to Peking duck!” Lu Erxiong didn’t hesitate at all and charged straight at Luo Cheng, his hands open with only his thumbs curling up, shaking them, “Grandpas, grandmas, mom, and aunt, we have nine people, we can eat nine ducks!”
Luo Cheng smiled and said, “Alright, whatever number of ducks you eat, grandpa will buy!” One Peking duck costs eight yuan, ten would only be eighty, not even half a month of his pension.
“Let’s go!” Lu Erxiong said cheerfully.
The boatman also followed Luo Cheng’s instruction to bring their boat to the shore.
The boat had been floating on the lake for nearly an hour, the children were thoroughly enjoying themselves, now all they could think about was eating Peking duck since the Quanjude Restaurant is always crowded, they never really got to enjoy a good duck al.
Luo Cheng caught onto this, he rembered hearing about it from Xibao once when he fell ill and was saved by Qingxue.
He had already booked a private room, surrounding a big full table.
One duck three ways, among the triplets Dundun and Erxiong ate the at, Zhuangzhuang drank the soup, but seeing his siblings enjoying their food, he finally asked Qingxue to roll him a pancake with duck at and sweet sauce, no spring onions added.
Although Lu Erxiong repeatedly said he wanted nine ducks, in reality, four Peking ducks were enough to fill everyone up, including several guards, and there were even two remaining duck fras not used for soup.
“Lu Erxiong, we only ate four, what about the remaining five?” Luo Cheng teased him.
Lu Erxiong waved his little hand, “Take them ho to eat!”
Qingxue wouldn’t indulge him, she hurriedly told Luo Cheng: “Quanjude’s Peking duck is in great demand, we really shouldn’t do such a frowned-upon thing, I’ll just take one duck fra back to make soup for them.”
They originally planned to eat out at noon, thus they brought their lunchboxes with them.
Luo Cheng laughed and said, “We’ll take everything with us, we’ll leave this afternoon.”
While Qingxue was packing up the two duck fras, Luo Cheng signaled a guard with his eyes; the guard excused himself for a mont, and when he ca back, he brought a glossy, freshly roasted duck.
“Old comrade, look at you!” Qingxue was exasperated.
“No worries, no worries, take it back for the kids to have an extra al tonight!” Luo Cheng chuckled cheerfully.
As they walked out of the private room, a few people from the room next door also ca out, one middle-aged woman imdiately fixated her eyes on Feng Qingyun, who was walking at the front with his niece, “Are you Feng Qingyun?” her tone and attitude were quite unpleasant.
