The Moon is Full in the Traveling House

Chapter 61 Conquering Miss Xiao 2's Taste Buds

"Miss, please try it and see if it suits your taste." Su Lun invited enthusiastically.

Xiao Anning stretched out her jade hand gracefully, picked up a small piece of the exquisite dish and put it into her mouth, chewing and savoring it carefully. She praised every dish, but the ones she liked the most were the boiled fish and taro sweet potato balls.

The aroma of boiled fish hits your nose, spicy but not dry, numb but not bitter, and the tender fish meat melts in your mouth, as if dancing on the tip of your tongue; the taro and sweet potato balls have a crispy skin and a soft, sweet filling. When you take a bite, your mouth is filled with the taste of happiness.

"Captain Su, your cooking skills are amazing. This boiled fish is so spicy and delicious, and it's really memorable. And these meatballs have a delicate texture and moderate sweetness, and are even more delicious than Tang Ji's dim sum! I wonder what it's called?" Xiao An Ning praised as he tasted the food.

"Thank you for the compliment, Second Miss. This meatball is called taro and sweet potato meatballs. There are still a lot of them in the kitchen. If you like them, I can pack some for you to take back later. Of course, if you don't mind, you are welcome to visit the Su Mansion at any time in the future. I will prepare more delicious dishes for you." Seeing that the food he made by himself was recognized by Xiao An Ning, Su Lun was filled with joy and responded enthusiastically.

"Really? That's great!" Xiao Anning's eyes suddenly lit up, and his foodie nature was revealed to Su Lun without reservation.

As soon as Xiao An Ning finished speaking, Su Zhe came over with a large plate of exquisite fruit. The fruit on the plate contained very ordinary fruits, but they were arranged into an extremely exquisite pattern, which made people happy just by looking at it.

"Miss Second, please enjoy! These fruits are all chilled. The weather is so hot, you may want to try some to cool off!" Su Zhe said with a smile.

Seeing this, Xiao An Ning rolled her eyes and said with a sweet smile, "Captain Su, could it be that this fruit plate was also made by you?"

"Uh...is there any problem?" Su Zhe asked with some confusion after hearing this.

"Oh my, this is so exquisite! It's simply a work of art. I can't bear to eat it!" Xiao An Ning said playfully.

"Haha, Miss Xiao, you are really too kind! It's not as exaggerated as you said, it's just arranged a little more neatly." Su Zhe said modestly. He muttered to himself that in his time, this way of arranging fruit plates was very common in restaurants. He didn't expect that in this era, Miss Xiao would be so surprised. It seems that people in this era still lack attention to these details!

"Wow, this fruit is delicious, but I really can't eat it. You are amazing. This is the first time I know that fruit can be eaten like this." Xiao An Ning patted his belly and sighed with satisfaction.

"In fact, fruits can also be made into other small desserts. For example, you can mix fresh watermelon, apples, pears and milk together to make a delicious and healthy fruit salad; or you can mix mango, banana, strawberry and milk together to make a smooth milkshake... If you are interested, Miss, I can make it for you next time I have the chance." Su Lun enthusiastically introduced various creative ways of eating, with a confident light in his eyes.

"Isn't that too troublesome? And what are strawberries and mangoes? I've never seen them before." Xiao An Ning asked a little embarrassedly, but her heart was full of anticipation for these novel little desserts.

Su Lun was stunned for a moment. "That's a southern fruit. Actually, I haven't eaten it. I just heard about it from merchants in Lingnan when I was a child... and these things are not difficult to make. Besides, didn't the second young lady say that we are good friends? There is no reason to find it troublesome to entertain good friends. As long as you like it, Su Lun is happy to serve you." Su Lun answered sincerely.

"How come you know everything? I'm so lucky to have you as a friend!" Xiao An Ning praised without reservation, his eyes revealing admiration for Su Lun.

This compliment made Su Lun feel a little embarrassed. He scratched his head subconsciously, and a shy blush appeared on his face: "It's not as exaggerated as you said. Isn't it said that children from poor families grow up early..."

The two chatted about family matters for a while, and Xiao Anning keenly noticed that Su Lun looked a little tired, so he stood up considerately and prepared to say goodbye. "Captain Su, thank you for your hospitality today. It's getting late, so I'd better go home first. When I have free time in the future, I will definitely invite Captain Su to tour the beautiful scenery of the capital together."

Hearing this, Su Lun also stood up and said, "Then how about I escort the Second Miss for a while?" Xiao An Ning waved his hand hastily and said, "How can I do that? I have a coachman with me this time. There is no need to trouble Captain Su. I can go home on my own."

However, Su Lun insisted and said, "I have previously declared in front of many people that I would protect the Second Young Lady's safety. I will not be relieved until I see with my own eyes that the Second Young Lady returns to the mansion safely." The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a gentle smile.

Seeing this, Xiao An Ning no longer refused and thanked softly: "In that case, I'll trouble Captain Su." Then, the two of them walked out of the hall together and came to the door. Xiao An Ning got on the carriage that had been waiting for a long time, and Su Lun watched her get on the carriage before turning around and getting on his own carriage.

Sitting in the carriage, Su Lun thought to himself: In two days, I will have to take some time to practice horsemanship. Imagine how high-spirited I would be if I could ride a strong and majestic horse through the streets and alleys... Thinking of this, a feeling of heroism surged in his heart.

There weren't many people on the street at the moment, and because the road was empty, the carriage was traveling much faster than usual. After about forty minutes, a magnificent mansion appeared in front of us, which was the general's mansion.

Xiao Anning said goodbye to Su Lun and walked into the general's mansion, looking back every few steps. Seeing her enter the mansion safely, Su Lun relaxed a little and asked someone to turn the car around and drive towards his own mansion. Along the way, the strange look of King Qi kept appearing in his mind, which made him unpredictable. The relationship between these dignitaries was very complicated and intertwined. If you are not careful, you may be killed. It seems that you need to be more cautious in the future. It is better to wait until you return to the mansion to find Qingfeng to inquire about the situation...

After Xiao An Ning entered the general's mansion, she did not return to her boudoir immediately, but went straight to the main courtyard in the center of the mansion. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she was like a happy bird, and she couldn't wait to fly into the hall.

"Dad! Mom! Sister! You are all here! Look, I brought you a lot of delicious snacks, come and try them!" Xiao Anning ran into the house excitedly, shouting loudly while putting the exquisite paper box in his hand on the table. His handsome face was flushed with excitement at this moment, and his eyes were sparkling with joy.

"Where did you go today? I've heard a lot about your glorious deeds." Mrs. Xiao looked at her daughter's smug look and couldn't help but frown and asked in a somewhat stern tone. She knew that this naughty little girl must have caused some trouble again, but her eyes still showed her love and concern for her.
