The creditor favors the little orphan girl alone

Chapter 36 Rainbow Lake Picnic ([-])

After breakfast, Yuan Bao drove Tao Qiqi and Tao Liangliang on the simple carriage that Hongxia had already prepared, and drove slowly on the country road.

There are dense trees on both sides of the road, and the dense leaves sway with the wind and fall from time to time, echoing the broken maple leaves on the ground that have been crushed by many carriage wheels.

"Brother, why haven't you arrived yet? Liangliang is hungry." Tao Liangliang pouted and looked at Yuan Bao complainingly.They have been in the carriage for an hour, yet they haven't arrived at the destination Yuan Bao said.

While driving the carriage, Yuan Bao lightly slapped Tao Liangliang's little head with a slap. The sentence that should have been majestic was full of jokes at this moment. "Didn't our second young master call himself a man every day? Why, after sitting in the carriage for a while, he couldn't take it anymore?"

Tao Liangliang sat upright, putting on an adult face. "Hmph, Liangliang suddenly isn't hungry anymore."

"Hoo hoo hoo." Tao Qiqi was amused by Tao Liangliang, covered her mouth and snickered, her expression was so cute.

The carriage staggered and bumped again for nearly half an hour. Finally, Yuan Bao retracted his arms, reined in the reins, and the horse's hooves stopped. "Okay, here we are."

A gust of cool wind blew in front of him, Tao Liangliang couldn't help poking his head out to look around. "Wow, brother, sister, this place is so beautiful."

"It's really beautiful." Tao Qiqi jumped out of the carriage, opened his arms, and breathed in the sweet scent that belonged to all things in the world.

This lake is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the lake surface is shimmering with silver-blue waves under the sunlight.

On the green hill in the middle, there is a big white spring waterfall.The water droplets falling naturally from high altitudes scattered in the air, forming a unique beauty of a rainbow after the rain.

In the reflection of the rainbow on the water surface, many colorful little fish flew into the air, cheering and jumping, as if they were an integral part of the rainbow color.

Because of this picture-like scenery, literati and elegant guests call this place "Rainbow Lake".

This place is not some hidden paradise, but it is also off the beaten track.Even if people came to Rainbow Lake, they would all want to protect it and not tell other people what happened here.They are not selfish, it's not that they don't want others to come here to play, they just don't want people with a heart to destroy the peace and comfort here.

Yuan Bao glanced triumphantly at Tao Qiqi and Tao Liangliang. "The places I recommend are definitely worth mentioning."

"Cuckoo." An untimely growl came from Tao Liangliang's stomach, clutching his stomach, Tao Liangliang was crying. "Liangliang is going to be hungry."

"Understood, little ancestor. Wait a little longer, and brother will find something delicious for you." Yuan Bao patted his chest and assured him confidently.

Tao Qiqi noticed the meaning of Yuan Bao's words, and looked at Yuan Bao without knowing why. "Young master, you said there is delicious food here? Isn't it full of water?"

"Stupid, where there is water, there is no shortage of food." Yuan Bao took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs, and stuffed the long hem of his clothes around his waist.

Seeing Yuan Bao's movements, Tao Qiqi hurriedly stopped him in panic. "Master, what are you doing? Why do you want to jump into the water?"

"My sister is really stupid. What my brother means is that there are a lot of delicious food in the water." Tao Liangliang sat down on the soft two-layer quilt that Yuan Bao had spread on the floor just now, and looked at Yuan Bao and Yuan Bao with wide eyes. Tao Qiqi.

Yuan Bao gave Tao Qiqi a blank look, and the corner of his mouth twitched in Tao Liangliang's direction. "Liangliang understands, thanks to you, I'm still an older sister."

Tao Qiqi smiled awkwardly, and then loosened the slender hand that was tightly grasping Yuan Bao's arm. "Then you go, I'll take everything off the carriage."

Yuan Bao stepped into the cold lake water, bent down, groping for something with both hands.

Tao Qiqi took off the two bundles from the carriage, one of them was placed five steps away from the quilt where Tao Liangliang was sitting, and there were pots, pans and seasonings in it, took them out and put them in order.

Holding the small package, he approached Tao Liangliang, took out the candied fruit and snacks inside, and put them on the porcelain plates he had prepared. "Cool cool, eat something when you're hungry."

Tao Liangliang shook his head, his eyes bypassed Tao Qiqi and stared at the busy Yuan Bao. "I want to eat what my brother found."

"I found it." At this moment, Yuan Bao shouted happily, holding the big red and fresh object in his hand, he walked towards the pot and bowl that was placed aside. "Come and have a look."

"Young master, what are these?" Tao Qiqi looked curiously at the four palm-sized objects that Yuan Bao caught.

"This is called a lobster." Yuan Bao answered Tao Qiqi's question, and at the same time did not forget to direct Tao Liangliang, a little man. "Liang Liang, you dig a hole in the ground first."

Without saying a word, Tao Liangliang picked up a small wooden stick on the ground and started digging.

"Qiqi, you pick up the firewood around you." Yuan Bao threw four big lobsters into the pot, and covered the lid to prevent the lobsters from crawling out.

After Yuan Bao found two pieces of oil paper and wrapped two big lobsters, stuffed them into the small hole Tao Liangliang had dug, and buried them with soil, Tao Qiqi also brought back a pile of firewood.

Yuan Bao waved to Tao Qiqi, signaling Tao Qiqi to place the wooden stick on the small mound where he had just buried the crayfish. "Qiqi, just pile the firewood here."

Tao Qiqi did as Yuan Bao said and put the firewood away.

"Go get half a pot of water, and be careful not to let the lobster escape." Yuan Bao took out the flint and lit up a fire neatly, using a few big stones picked up around him to form a circle and serve as a small stove.

"Brother, why did you bury the lobster?" Tao Liangliang had the time to ask Yuan Bao, who was finally free.

Yuan Bao blinked mysteriously, making it a secret. "You'll find out later."

Tao Liangliang had no choice but to be patient and wait for Yuan Bao to take the initiative to reveal the answer.

"Master, here comes the water." Tao Qiqi carried the small pot and walked steadily towards the small stove built by Yuan Bao. "However, master, can this lobster be eaten like this? Will it be unclean?"

Seeing that Tao Qiqi had never seen a lobster before, he must still be a little worried that something might go wrong. He knelt down and put the pot away. Tao Qiqi frowned and looked at Yuan Bao.

Yuan Bao waved his hand indifferently. "The water quality here is very clean, and the fish and shrimps that grow in it all eat some aquatic plants and the like, so nothing will happen. Besides, it's not the first time I've done this, so don't worry."

Slowly, the smell began to overflow from the closed pot, which is different from the taste of pork, duck or other meat, and more delicious than fish.

"It smells so good." Tao Liangliang raised his sleeves and wiped the corners of his obviously moist mouth, staring at the fragrant stone pot infatuatedly.

Seeing that it was almost done, Yuan Bao wrapped the bulge on the pot cover with a soft cloth and lifted the pot cover.The rich fresh fragrance spread out immediately, lingering on the nibs of the three of them, staying for a long time.

Add a little bit of salt, stir well, Yuan Bao first filled three bowls of soup, one bowl for each person. "It's hot, be careful."

Carefully bringing the spoon close to his mouth, and sipping it lightly, the three of them put on satisfied smiles at the same time.

The two cooked lobsters were fished out by Yuan Bao one after another, put them on a plate, and put them aside to cool.
