Go back to the Admiral's youth through the book

Chapter 201 (201) The admiral moved the cheese of some profiteers
After Ji Cheng accompanied the young lady to eat the meal, he rewarded all the chefs who made her favorite dishes.

The chefs thought that such a great official must have greater official authority than the prefect of Lu.

I just hope that because of their hard work and good service, they can avoid disaster.

Unexpectedly, there is also a silver reward.

After the chefs returned to the restaurant, they praised Ji Futai and Princess Weiyang in every possible way.

For a time, Ji Futai's character was well-known.

The common people praised him as Master Qingtian one after another.

At the end of the hour, Ling Ren also arrived early to pay a visit to Mr. Futai.

Ji Cheng conveyed his order concisely.

Although Ling Ren was very surprised, he still obeyed...

The next day.

There are many vendors walking around the streets, selling ice cubes at low prices.

They were ordered by the bully, and each pushed a wheelbarrow to sell, and even ordinary people in small alleys were mapped.

Their ice cubes are big and white, and they cost one penny a penny, and ten pennies a pot, and they buy five pots and get one free.

You must know that ice cubes in summer are a luxury, and ordinary small families dare not expect extravagance.

But as soon as Mr. Futai came, he brought the ice cubes into the homes of ordinary people.

It's almost impossible to even think about it...

However, while some people are happy, others are sad.

Those "ice households" who specialize in ice cubes have almost suffered a devastating blow.

You must know that their ice households provide hundreds of carts of ice to the imperial court every year for the use of the royal family and officials and nobles.

These expenses will be borne by ordinary wealthy businessmen...

According to Ji Mianhua doing business like this, they are afraid they will drink the northwest wind!

As a result, these ice households complained to the magistrate's wife one after another.

Fifty percent of their annual income went into Gao Wenfang's pocket.

Right now, they are in trouble, so the magistrate must protect everyone, right?
Gao Wenfang hated Ji Chen so much that his teeth were itching and his mouth was covered with blood.

But even so, how dare she yell at the governor?
Because she failed to invite people to the reception banquet, she was scolded again and again by the magistrate Lu.

He also complained that she did not accomplish enough and revealed more than she did. She shouldn't have brought Jin Zikun there and angered the governor.

Gao Wenfang scolded Iceto bloody in all kinds of crying, and finally let out all the anger she was holding back.

Then, he comforted the icemen a few words, saying that Ji Mianhua would not stay here for long, so Renren passed.

Want to make trouble?

It also depends on whether she accepts the offer...

She is still holding the evidence that everyone is rich and unkind!

It is expected that these people would not dare to jump over the wall in a hurry.

In this way, the ice households were dismissed hastily, but they were so depressed that they thought about tripping up Jicheng...

Jicheng's business is off to a good start, earning a lot of money.

Seeing that the business was going well, Xia Ou thought about joining in and earning some pocket money.

How to make money?
Ice made from saltpeter is mainly used to cool down the temperature. According to the book, it can also be eaten as shaved ice. Many people feel no discomfort after eating it.

However, she always felt that ice with saltpeter added should not be eaten.

In case the people are spoiled, even if the admiral has the ability to make certain consequences invisible, but because of those dreams, she dare not ignore the ghosts.

Then I thought about accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, maybe I can live a more stable and smooth life in this life, or even in the next life...

Therefore, although money is good, she doesn't want to be money that violates conscience.

Xia Ou wanted to change her mind, so she walked out of the cool room where the ice mirror was placed.

She braved the scorching sun and walked into the garden.

There are many varieties of flowers in midsummer, and hundreds of flowers are in full bloom. The colorful flowers bloom on the branches, exuding a pleasant fragrance, which is too beautiful to behold.

"Buzzing..." A group of bees flew to the flowers, picking flowers to make honey.

Suddenly, she had a thought, since the admiral's business is Huimin, then naturally she can't steal his business, but can she make money from the rich?

Rich people have no shortage of money, but they like to be arty...

There are many flowers in this solar term.

Lotus, peony, orchid, lily, bunch of reds, peonies, hibiscus, gentian, amaranth, chrysanthemum, water lily...

She can freeze these flowers in large ice cubes while making ice with saltpeter.

After that, after a little bit of carving, it will be as translucent as jelly, and you can change the variety of flowers every day.

When the rich put ice cubes in the room to enjoy the coolness, not only can they enjoy the flowers, but they are also very elegant.

Just do what you want, she will experiment first...

She ran back to the house with a bang, picked up the small basket, and ran back to the garden with the scissors.

Her eyes are bright, and she carefully selects the flowers with good appearance.

This red rose is not bad, with the crystal clear white ice, it must be very beautiful!

"Crack!" With a sound, she cut off a string of flower branches with flowers and leaves.

Gently put it in the small bamboo basket on the arm.

Ji Cheng had just returned from the government office, and when he passed the yard, he saw a young lady holding scissors in her hand, carefully selecting flowers of good quality.

The little lady stared at the flowers with piercing eyes, and after careful selection, she cut off the buds and put them in the bamboo basket on her small arm.

Ji Cheng walked over in a few steps, stretched out his long arms, and hugged the little lady up.

"Ah..." Xia Ou exclaimed subconsciously, and almost stabbed the scissors in his hand at this fellow.

However, after seeing the handsome face of Lord Admiral, she stopped her movements in time.

Ji Cheng took a panoramic view of the little lady's movements, and said accusingly, "My lady is so cruel, she just hugged her husband, and she is going to murder her husband?"

"I'm wronged...Master Futai!" Xia Ou shouted wronged, with a cunning flash in his eyes, and said, "My husband is very skilled, he comes without a trace, goes without a trace, how does Xiao Ou know that the person who came is not a villain?"

Even if she heard in the inner house that the admiral had touched the cheese of some profiteers, she should be vigilant.

Moreover, this house belongs to the prefect of Lu, and they just rented it for a temporary stay, and it is not safe for her to live there.

For someone who "robbed the women of the people", she naturally had to act first and deal a fatal blow to the other party.

She kicked her calf, signaling to go down.

However, Ji Cheng was only gentle-looking and strong like a bull, and it was not something a weak woman like her, with a delicate body and soft body, could break free.

She tried to reach out her little hand again, grabbed Lord Admiral's armpit, and tickled him.

In the end, she spent a lot of effort, but he still remained motionless.

Ji Cheng's warm and fragrant nephrite is in his arms, how can he be willing to let go?
Just let her torment herself...

He glanced at the yard, hugged her, jumped up, and said, "Hey, don't move, the flowers on the peony tree are in full bloom, I'm going to pick her for my husband."

Xia Ou saw that he was flying with lightness kung fu, how dare he struggle?
Life matters...

She simply leaned into his strong arms, cut off the flowering branches that grew on the tall treetops, and reserved a few young leaves.

Red and green look good together!
