Traveling through the mountains and fields to be leisurely

Chapter 172

"Your Highness, the Second Prince, some of these fruits come from the south, and they bear fruit at different times, so there are some that the Second Prince has never seen. My father also took a lot of effort to get them on Zhuangzi. Successful cultivation, temperature, humidity, soil, sunlight, fertilizers, etc., they need a lot of conditions. My father has studied for more than two years before these fruits finally grow. It is not easy and the cost is too high. So our family uses it in our own shop, not takeaway."

Lan Lingxue kept an eye out, in case the second prince wanted to pay tribute to the palace, he would have to pay a high price, and he couldn't just miss the opportunity to earn royal money. I heard that in the palace, a fish would It costs five taels to ten taels of silver. If you buy it in the outside market, it means thirty or fifty taels. If they dare to sell bananas for a catty of one hundred taels of silver, they are considered powerful.

"Your home doesn't take out food?"

Look, it really came, Lan Lingxue is very proud of her prediction,
"Of course it can't be sold outside. How can ordinary people afford such an expensive thing? If you make drinks in the shop, customers don't know how they are made, but they can be sold at a good price."

Quickly tell me you want to buy it, I will sell it, Lan Lingxue murmured in her heart,

"If it goes to the palace, can your family's production be enough?"

Although he hasn't eaten it yet, the second prince is already salivating just looking at it. If these fruits can be offered to the palace, the father will definitely be more sure of his ability, although this cannot be compared with the frontier. In comparison, it is actually more difficult than that. Think about it, the crops that should not be produced in this area are produced, and the fruits that should not be produced at this time are produced. What does this mean? Shelter, and the things are produced in the suburbs, which means that the dragon veins are prosperous and protect future generations. This little girl really can't be viewed with the eyes of ordinary people. It would be strange if she didn't see some novel things here.

"Oh, if we donate to the palace, then our family will not be a tribute merchant? We can earn money, no, we grow our own fruit, and we should be called Yu Nongcai. Your Highness, Second Prince, am I right? "

Lan Lingxue tilted her head innocently, expressing her own doubts, but the second prince stretched out his finger angrily, as if wanting to tap her forehead, An Zhiyuan immediately stood in front of Lan Lingxue, blocking the second prince from stretching out. With the hand that came out, the second prince clenched his fingers and rubbed them in the palm of his hand in embarrassment.

"You girl, you never forget to look for benefits for yourself."

How can the second prince fail to guess Lan Lingxue's thoughts? Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are ranked last. If the Lan family becomes a tribute merchant, then the entire family will be ranked last in terms of rank. Farmers are different, and their status is relatively low. Merchants are not only one level higher, and the children of pure merchants are not allowed to take the imperial examination. Lan Hongze is currently studying at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Once he is appointed as a tribute merchant, his future will be ruined. In that case, the little girl should be It is hard to destroy the orchard, and it is impossible to pay tribute to the royal family with the fruit. He knows the temper of this little girl, she looks soft, but she is very hard-hearted.

"What's the name of this imperial farmer? Our Wuxia Kingdom has never heard of such a title."

Because the second prince was in a good mood, he deliberately teased Lan Lingxue,
"Yinong is the farm bestowed by the emperor. From now on, the produce on the farm will be available to the royal family. Ordinary people will not be able to buy things from our farm. The grade is not enough. If the emperor wants to reward the ministers, he doesn't know how much to reward. At any time, you can also name and reward meritorious ministers to come to our farm to buy fruits, this is a fruit shed exclusively for the royal family, if they can come here to buy fruits, it is their honor, right?"

Calculated in this way, in addition to providing for the royal family, there will be a large amount of income. This money will be reserved for the little hoe to study and spend, which is enough for him to go to a higher position, at least before the imperial examination. The flowers are enough, Lan Lingxue has always been confident about the future of the little hoe,

"I don't know what's in your little head. You change your mind. I haven't discussed with you whether to pay tribute to the palace. You have already counted all the money of the ministers."

The second prince really admired this Miss Lan once, and there is no other girl who is smarter than her.

Lan Lingxue doesn't care what the Second Prince is thinking, she deserves her height, and she will never let it go.

"I'm doing it for Your Highness's sake, isn't it? You have found such a face-saving reward for the emperor. The emperor should appreciate you a lot. You know, the production of my family's Zhuangzi is not only in the whole capital, but also in the entire north." Unique, Your Highness the Second Prince, you should make a ten-faced exquisite jade tablet, and then give it to the emperor, and tell him what a rare fruit farm you have found for him, and he will have countless strange fruits to eat in the future. When the future ministers make meritorious service, they will be rewarded with a jade tablet, telling them that they can come to this village to buy fruits and vegetables. Those ministers will not be grateful. This is a fruit that only the emperor can eat. What the emperor can eat is so honorable and favored. If a minister does not do well, he will take back the sign and let him be happy. You see, how good my method is. The emperor came up with a good way to clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments, which can serve multiple purposes."

Lan Lingxue is full of excitement now, the second prince should be hooked, right?I will definitely take the bait, Lan Lingxue murmured in her heart.

"Hmph, you get more than one move, isn't it true that you get more than one move? You've made a lot of money, and even a reward jade medal has to be made for you by His Highness. It's easy for you."

This is the answer, Lan Lingxue wanted to jump up and celebrate, it took a lot of effort to stabilize her mind,

"That's a must. The imperial royal card is not something we can make from a small family like ours. Besides, our family deserves to earn a little money. The family has a family and a family. If you produce people, you also need to produce technology, how can we not let our family earn some money, the second prince, if you leak a finger, it is enough for our family to live."

Lan Lingxue smiled flatteringly,

"You said you girl, my hot pot shop, if you accepted the share back then, it would have been money rushing in, but you refused quickly, and I didn't see you being reluctant at all. Now my son knows that money is good something?"

After hearing what the second prince said, Lan Lingxue changed her face.

"Your Highness, a human being is a human being, so one should do something and not do something. Minnies only take what they deserve, and it doesn't matter if they work hard."

This is really Lan Lingxue's style, she never shakes her bottom line for unnecessary benefits.

"Okay, okay, my highness has answered everything you said, let's eat quickly, my highness is hungry."

The second prince picked up the chopsticks, and Chunhua immediately stood beside the second prince, watching where his eyes went, helping him serve vegetables. Seeing her winking, the second prince understood why she was able to follow Lan Lingxue all the time , Qiuyue also stood beside General An. General An didn't use a girl to prepare vegetables. He took chopsticks and picked whatever he wanted to eat. He ate very quickly. The food will be so delicious. It is also the first time for the second prince to eat the food of the Lan family. He is also a big surprise. He grew up eating the food cooked by the imperial chef. When he is out of the palace, he rarely tastes better than the food in the palace. He was overjoyed by the craftsmanship of the Lan family's meals.
"Girl, how do you make this dish so delicious? Is there any secret?"

Since the second prince came here, he has been yelling at each other, calling An Zhiyuan so badly that the food doesn't taste good, but he can't bear to eat it.

"Yes, my vegetables are produced by myself. Think about it, Your Highness, my father can grow all the fruits from other places. Of course, the vegetables that come out are much more delicious than other people's. You can eat my vegetables. , you are lucky, people outside want to eat my family's vegetables, if they don't spend a lot of money, they will definitely not be able to eat the vegetables produced by my family."

As soon as Lan Lingxue finished speaking, the second prince had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly thought of what he said when he asked Lan Lingxue to cook the hot pot for him,

"Aren't all the vegetables in my hot pot shop produced by your farm?"

Lan Lingxue gave him a thumbs up, and the reaction was quite quick,

"Of course, otherwise, why do you think hot pot shops are so popular? It's just a pot. Others can cook it at home. Why go to your shop to eat it, and it costs such an expensive price? Isn't it because The ingredients are different, and the taste is different.”

"My Fulu Restaurant is full of customers every day, what do you say?"

The second prince's words made Lan Lingxue giggle even more, she couldn't stop, she suppressed her laughter with great difficulty, and turned to the second prince with a blushing face,
"Your Highness, in your restaurant, all the dishes from my family are used, which are earlier than those used in the hot pot shop. You are a nobleman who forgets things too much. If Uncle Meng hadn't ordered dishes from my family first, the business in the restaurant Soaring into the sky, there is no chance for a girl to recognize you."

It sounds like a compliment to the second prince. It is really not an ordinary thing for a commoner to know the heirs of the royal family, but the second prince heard that Lan Lingxue was boasting about herself in disguise, and even soared into the sky. It's all thanks to this little girl that my restaurant is able to make a lot of money!

"I've never seen you with such a thick skin. You can put gold on your own face no matter what you say."

Lan Lingxue was still giggling,
"Of course, if you don't put money on your face, why don't you put it on the wall?"

These words made the second prince choke, and he didn't answer for a long time. At this time, Lan Erzhuang was not worried anymore. Even An Zhiyuan could see that the second prince and Lan Lingxue really hit it off, no matter what Lan Lingxue was. Respect or disobedience, the second prince doesn't really care much, maybe, he really only thinks of Lan Lingxue as a little girl, coaxing her, or teasing her, but he doesn't really care about what she does They guessed the same. The second prince really didn't really care about Lan Lingxue's attitude. After all, there are not many people who dare to talk to him like this. Even if it is General An or An Shizi, you should be careful when talking to him. Words cannot be so casual.
