The person took a look and wished he could slap himself back into his mother’s womb. Who said that their family did not have any foundation?
Huh?
Which family did not have a foundation to plant precious orchids in the courtyard so casually?
Who could take out two huge ginsengs at the same time without a foundation?
“Pardon my poor eyesight, but may I ask how old this ginseng is?
Ning Anhui threw the two of them on the table nonchalantly and said calmly, “I don’t know. About 80 to 90 years?”
The person fled dejectedly. Ning Anhui snorted coldly. He carefully picked up the ginseng and blew on it before carefully wrapping it up. Only then did he start to complain.
“There’S no end to it. Do they really think our family is easy to bully?”
He did it on purpose.
It was fine if only one or two families came, but they were like a group of locusts. Moreover, which good family’s guests came to the door with shining eyes and kept looking into the house? They started to inquire about other people’s family background as soon as they spoke. Was it polite?
After all, he had been a shopkeeper for so long and had seen all kinds of people.
These people were seen through by Ning Anhui with just a few words.
It was just showing off their wealth. It wasn’t like he didn’t know how to do it.
Ning Ansheng was even more clear-headed, but he wasn’t as angry as his second brother. He just calmly tidied up the house and specially took out the Golden Silk Royal Chrysanthemum that his sister had taught them to dry and placed it in the courtyard for people to see.
Seeing that the person had fled, Ning Anhui vented his anger. At the same time, he asked his Eldest Brother, “What if the person who came next is very thick-skinned and still wants to stay? What should I do? Can I chase him away with a broom?”
Ning Ansheng looked at him as if he was an insensible child. “They’re guests.
How can you be like this?”
Ning Anhui looked displeased. Ning Ansheng continued, “However, our family can still afford a cup of rough tea.”
He pointed at the Golden Silk Royal Chrysanthemum in the courtyard. “Didn’t Xiaoxiao send us a colorless teapot? Pick the largest flower and use that teapot to make tea.”
Ning Anhui frowned. “Are they worthy?”
Recently, he had already known the value of such chrysanthemums. How could he let those people with ulterior motives drink them?
Ning Ansheng sighed. “It’s just a pot of tea a day. It’s nothing.
One pot a day? Ning Anhui quickly understood what Eldest Brother meant.
Hence, anyone who came to the Ning Family to investigate later would discover that on the table in the courtyard, there was a completely transparent teapot that they had never seen before. Its texture was like the most transparent crystal. One could tell how precious a chrysanthemum in the teapot was. With a slight shake, the petals of the chrysanthemum would open layer by layer. It was very beautiful.
No one had ever seen such a beautiful chrysanthemum before.
What was unbelievable was that the Ning Family actually used this precious chrysanthemum to make tea!
The hand that was holding the cup trembled slightly. On the one hand, he felt that he could not waste such a treasure. On the other hand, he felt that she would have no regrets on this trip if he was lucky enough to try this tea.
No one cared if the tea was bland or hot. After leaving, no one thought that the Ning Family was a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.
When Xiaoxiao heard this, she felt that it was Eldest Brother’s idea. After asking and knowing that it was true, she sent many good things to the Ning Family.
Some were items bought with real money, while others were spatial products
that she had stuffed in.
For example, the set of exquisite glassware and snack cups with the glass tea
set.
Xiaoxiao and her family did not care about the evil deeds of the despicable people in the market. Compared to those ignorant people, they were more concerned about the examination that would come in a few months.
Other than those “social engagements” at the beginning, the Ning Family no longer interacted with outsiders. Ning Fengnian studied the farming matters on the land Xiaoxiao bought in the suburbs of the capital. Madam Song recuperated at home with her youngest sons and read to them for morning lessons—
At some point, Madam Song became interested in studying. When this matter was mentioned, no one in the family disagreed, nor did they think that a woman like her should only focus on helping her husband.
Ning Ansheng even specially picked out some basic books that were suitable for beginners to read and write for Madam Song personally. Xiaoxiao was even more considerate. She drew a book for her to read and write. Recently, Madam Song had been reading this book with her unweaned youngest sons every day. Ning Anhui stared at his mother and youngest brothers for a long time. He rubbed his chin and found a craftsman the next day to start building a study at home.
His reason was very sufficient. If his mother liked it and his younger brothers needed it, his and Eldest Brother’s future children would also need it.
Hearing this, Qian Jiao’er pinched him. Madam Song was slightly stunned before she was overjoyed. “You’re pregnant?”
Qian Jiao’er nodded with a red face and replied softly, “I just got a doctor to confirm it.”
The Ning Family happily told Xiaoxiao this good news, and the latter was also happy. Then, she thought about planting cotton, be it in the border city or the space.
Now, the youngest son of the Ning Family, Ning Anping, was wearing the clothes that Xiaoxiao had given him. They were softer and more comfortable than the clothes bought at the ready-made shops outside. Xiaoxiao had long found an opportunity to change her family’s food, clothes, and necessities.
The current General’s Residence looked the same from the outside.
For example, today’s breakfast looked like an ordinary bowl of noodles, but the actual content was huge. Gu Chang’an found something special with his first bite. “Crab?”
Xiaoxiao nodded. “Yes.”
This was the Hundred Crab Noodles made from the hairy crabs raised in the space. It was called “Hundred Crab” because it really used nearly a hundred crabs to make the family’s breakfast.
First, she peeled the steamed crabs. The crab roe and flour were kneaded into a golden dough with eggs, salt, and a small amount of alkali water in a 1:2 ratio. Then, she rolled them into thin dough and cut them into thin noodles for use.
The crab shell was used to boil the delicious crab oil. The crab noodles stir-fried at high temperatures were rich and fragrant. After everything was ready, the cooked crab noodles were spread at the bottom of the bowl. The stir-fried crab roe was used as a sauce to cover the noodles. Finally, a spoonful of crab oil was poured over the Hundred Crab Noodles that made people’s eyebrows drop.
The noodles had just been placed in the pot when the four of them, including Rong Yan, ate them all in no time.
Xiaoxiao sighed in her heart. It was a pity that the Ning Family’s parents and brothers refused to come along. Otherwise, it would be even more lively.
However, she could understand the Ning Family’s concerns. Hence, she secretly decided to send them the extra noodles later. Be it Madam Song or Second Sister-in-law, their culinary skills were top-notch. They would definitely not waste the deliciousness of the Hundred Crab Noodles.
In Xiaoxiao’s opinion, a beautiful morning should start with a delicious breakfast. Look at Mother and Little Big Brother’s satisfied expressions as they went to work. Ah, no, go to the palace court. Xiaoxiao and Gu Chang’an looked at each other and smiled, feeling happy too.
The Xiao Family was easily satisfied. If their lives were always as comfortable as this, they were willing to follow the prescribed order. However, after Xiao Ran and Rong Yan left today, a few uninvited guests came to the General’s Residence.
“The empress is holding a banquet. This is an invitation for the princess..”
