Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 266
"Brother, what do you think?"

"Haha, have you guessed it? No one in the world can grow out-of-season vegetables. Now that our family has grown them, we have a head start. This winter is the first time they are on the market. The higher the price is set. , the greater the chances of a good start. In the next few years, whether our family expands the planting area or sells this patent to others to grow, there will only be more and more off-season vegetables on the market. If you want to buy It is probably even more difficult to set a high price for the first time. If we don’t make a profit this time, how long will it take? Naturally, we will sell as much as we have. Besides, these vegetables are not special. Yes, even though it won’t go bad if left in the ground for nothing, it will eventually become old and unpalatable, right?”

Xue Hong was shocked after hearing this. After Jia Lian, even Xue Pan's opening method was no longer right. Is it poisonous?Is this still the ignorant, stupid Xue Pan?Compared with the original work... no, this is a bit whimsical compared to the original work. He is far, far away from the image of the silly boy in the memory left by the original owner. He doesn't even understand such philosophical things as value determines price. I understand that it is not simple.

"Brother, I..."

"By the way, Hong'er, how did you grow such good-looking vegetables? Why didn't I know you could farm before?"

coming!

In just a few breaths, Xue Hong felt that he had spent all his energy to mobilize all the cells he had into his brain, and he could barely make up for the brain cells of the martyrs who had suffered heavy casualties.However, the time was too short, and what he came up with at such a cost was just a lame excuse. Fortunately, no matter how Xue Pan changed, his qualities of being open-minded and not doubting others were still perfectly passed down, otherwise Xue Hong would not be able to make it. It's over.

"It turned out that before I planted vegetables, according to the book, I spent a lot of effort to select the seeds, and the seeds that were planted were all high-quality products that would germinate. This greenhouse has been carefully calculated, even watering and fertilizing. Everything is very particular, which is why we have today's results. I think we should apply for a patent for off-season vegetable cultivation before we sell vegetables. This thing has been produced with such painstaking efforts, so others can't get it. "

Xue Pan was also very satisfied with this point: "This is easy to say. I just want to trouble you to write down the specific planting method and so on. It can be regarded as a secret recipe so that I can report it to the court."

Xue Hong shrugged, "I can't do anything else, isn't it hard to write a paper full of absurd words?"Anyway, he will write this article in an extremely tedious and nonsensical way. Even if someone who cares about it gets it, it's either because they are afraid of trouble and don't love it, or if they follow their words, it still doesn't have half the effect.

This time, Xue Pan actually ripped off the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Even if the vegetables are out of season, they are still vegetables after all, but Xue Pan has the ability to sell vegetable leaves at such high prices.The cheapest cabbage, for example, sold for eighty cents per catty.Oh my god, for eighty cents, I can sell several kilograms of meat back home.

And no matter how expensive the Xue family's bid is, if it is reported to the emperor in the palace, an egg costs an inflated price of one tael of silver. Fresh and delicious vegetables, those who handle them will definitely be rewarded, so whether it is the House of Internal Affairs or the Imperial Dining Room, the fresh vegetables brought in by Xue's family are not too much at all, as much as there is, as much as you want.

Therefore, for the rest of the twelfth lunar month, the Xue family spent every day in a mechanical and pleasant rhythm of picking, transporting, marking prices, and collecting money.

On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, the work of delivering vegetables to the palace came to an end.Emperor Kangxi felt that he had fulfilled his filial piety towards his elderly aunt because he could eat fresh vegetables during the [-]th birthday of the Empress Dowager in the first month of this year. He even more praised the Xue family for their purchase of fresh vegetables. Not only did he greatly praise the Xue family, The Xue family was also allowed to enter the palace to have a banquet with the emperor's relatives and stay up late.

For the Xue family, they had occasionally received the honor of giving banquets from the palace several times when the internal funds tasks were completed well. However, this was the first time for them to hold a banquet on New Year's Eve, which made everyone in the Xue family extremely happy.

On New Year's Eve, the only ones who were lucky enough to enter the inner courtyard of the palace for the banquet were Xue Yi and Xue Wang.

For the royal family's New Year's Eve dinner, all relatives of the royal family and heroes and generals were invited. The people who came were either born with high status or with meritorious service. Xue Yi was probably the most insignificant existence among these people.During the whole process, not only did he dare not take the initiative to greet others, but he and Xue Wangshi secretly hid in a corner trying to hide their sense of existence.

Emma, ​​I can't help it. It's impossible for him, a sixth-rank official, to understand these high-ranking people's open guns and dark arrows. It's safer to be honest and honest than to be used as a gun, rather than foolishly gaining a sense of presence or being used as a gun.

This was before the start of the New Year's Eve dinner, and after the start of the New Year's Eve dinner, Master Kangxi thought of Xue Yi as soon as he moved his chopsticks.

"Where is Xue Yi, the head of the Ministry of Industry?"

Xue Yi's throat didn't even have time to swallow a sip of wine. He was so frightened by this summons that it was like going to court. He tried hard not to cough out, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart: Long live the Lord, long live the Lord, we Didn’t we agree to have dinner today?Why are you acting like you are in court again?How addictive?
With tens of thousands of beasts racing through his mind, Xue Yi still couldn't help but strike a thousand: "Xue Yi, head of the Weichen Ministry of Industry, pays his respects to the emperor, and congratulates the long live Lord on the New Year's joy."

Kangxi nodded: "Yes, I love you."

Although Xue Yi stood up to thank him after hearing this, his heart was still beating. Under everyone's unreasonable speculation, Emperor Kangxi continued: "Xue Pan, the son of Xue Yi, the head of the Ministry of Industry, donated fresh vegetables, which won my heart. I will give Xue Pan a gold medal for his inner money, and his mother, Wang Xue, will give me a six-grade Anren imperial edict. I will receive a reward of 1000 taels of silver."

Whoops~ a gold medal in the country.With this thing, the Xue family is tantamount to a prominent figure among the imperial merchants. Not only do they have the priority to choose internal money tasks, but they also have the priority to set prices when dealing with the royal family. This is simply for you. A privilege to swindle money from the emperor's pocket.

There is also Xue Wang's Six-Rank Anren Imperial Book which also has a great background.Generally, it was a respectable official in the capital. No matter how high the official rank was, if the emperor wanted to reward him, he would also reward his mother or his wife with a royal title. It was rare for the emperor to personally say that he wanted to reward him.On such a special occasion, Prince Xue was able to steal the show by having the emperor personally appreciate this edict.

And that 1000 taels of silver is a real benefit, heh, who would have thought that the Xue family could get such an honor just by selling vegetables?
