Joe's Farming

Xie Changyu was surprised and asked, "Does the prince know Qiao Yu?"

The King of Qi sat down and said warmly, "Not only do I know him, I've also had a few meals at his house."

Then he told her about his encounter with Gu Heng.

"I see. This hot pot base is from Brother Qiao's family. My wife loves it, so the chef in the mansion can also make it. As for this dessert, it was brought back by my son Tianyu, and it was indeed made by Brother Qiao."

Xie Changyu looked at Xie Tianyu: "It's called Egg Tart, right?"

Xie Tianyu replied respectfully: "Yes, father."

"That must be delicious." said the King of Qi.

Xie Changyu hurriedly invited King Qi to taste it.

After the King of Qi cleaned his hands and ate the egg tart, the others at the table followed suit and took one.

The King of Qi bit off half of it in one bite. Although it was cold, it was still very sweet.

"Suifeng, this dessert looks easier to make than fruit tarts. Go buy the recipe for me tomorrow." King Qi instructed Suifeng who was standing behind him.

Suifeng: “Yes.”

Xie Changyu thought that this meant that the prince really liked this snack.

Xie Tianyu ate a piece and found it delicious. When he thought that Xiaoyan had specially asked his father to make it for him, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

When the county magistrate's wife saw it, she thought that she must ask Qiao Yu to sell this snack when she saw him next time.

At that time, she would buy some for her son every day and keep them at home.

The chef from Xie's mansion was helping King Qi prepare dipping sauces, which included two types: oil sauce and sesame sauce sauce.

The King of Qi loved to eat, so naturally he chose both.

Then Xie Changyu asked the cook to leave.

"Your Highness, the essence of eating hotpot is to cook whatever dishes you want. Do it yourself and you will have enough food and clothing." Xie Changyu said.

The King of Qi found it interesting, but it was not something Xie Changyu would say.

as predicted.

When asked, Xie Changyu honestly answered that this was what Qiao Yu said.

"Hahahaha, Boss Qiao is really a wonderful person, but he is very right. This is very similar to the copper pot in our north. My brother and I often eat mutton in this way in the palace in winter. However, the dipping sauce is not as rich as this."

As the King of Qi spoke, he had already put a piece of mutton into the red pot.

The mutton is sliced ​​thinly and can be cooked in just a few bites.

When the King of Qi brought it to his lips, he was already drooling at the fragrance.

When you put it in your mouth, the fragrance seems to explode in your mouth, fragrant, spicy and numb.

The King of Qi was very excited.

"No wonder those young people strongly recommended this to me. I should have eaten this on the first day!"

After saying that, he felt something was not right, so he mentioned that he had eaten at Qiao Yu's place before.

The food cooked by Qiao Yu is also delicious, but the hot pot is just another style of deliciousness.

Xie Changyu smiled and said, "When I first tasted it, I was also surprised at Qiao Ge'er's mastery of spices. If you like it, please eat more. Vegetarian dishes absorb oil and will be a bit spicy. You can blanch them in this clear soup. The clear soup base has been stewed in the kitchen for a day, and it is good for blanching vegetarian dishes."

King Qi nodded: "Let me try it."

The King of Qi pointed to a dish of vine-like vegetables and asked, "What is this?"

Xie Changyu took a look and replied, "These are the tender stems and leaves of Chayote. They taste good."

The King of Qi picked one and threw it into the soup pot.

The vegetarian dishes cooked quickly, and Xie Changyu reminded King Qi that the dishes were ready.

The King of Qi immediately took it out and ate it.

“Sure enough, it has a crunchy texture and tastes quite fresh.

It seems that Lord Xie is very familiar with the crops in the fields.

I saw a pink flower field over at Lingyun Villa two days ago, but I don’t know what it is. ” Buckwheat flowers from my hometown Upon hearing this, Xie Changyu hurriedly asked about the specific form of the crop.

The King of Qi explained them one by one.

Xie Changyu said hurriedly, "That's the buckwheat planted by Qiao Ge'er, which is also a drought-resistant crop. This year, the most common crops grown in Taoyuan are potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, buckwheat, millet, and sorghum. I went to see them a while ago, and they are indeed growing well."

The King of Qi nodded while eating.

"Is it also because Boss Qiao proposed it?"

Xie Changyu nodded somewhat embarrassedly.

"Since the success of potato planting two years ago, I have adopted his suggestions as appropriate. This time, it was also thanks to his reminder. Otherwise, if farmers had planted rice this year as before, the seedlings might have dried up before autumn."

The King of Qi ate another piece of meat and said solemnly, "After the autumn harvest, we will reward them according to our Great Yan regulations."

Xie Changyu understood what the King of Qi meant.

If you can really receive something, then you can give me a reward.

"I will follow the prince's order."

"Mrs. Xie, Mr. Xie, you two should start eating soon. I feel so embarrassed that I ate all the food by myself..."

-

The next day, Suifeng went to Qiao Yu to buy the egg tart recipe.

This time I gave it a red envelope directly.

Qiao Yu accepted it without even opening it.

It was not until the evening when Qiao Yu was preparing the money he was going to take out that he opened the red envelope.

"Fuck!"

Qiao Yu exclaimed in surprise.

Gu Feng frowned. Qiao Yu had said this to him before. It could be used to express great surprise, but the original intention was not very good, so he seldom used it.

"Qiao Er, what's wrong?"

Gu Feng thought that the money given by King Qi was too little.

After all, they are going to open a dessert shop soon.

If the egg tart recipe is too small, it would actually be a big loss for them, even if the other party is a prince.

Qiao Yu didn't say anything, but handed over the two silver bills, along with a letter written by the King of Qi.

It was so literary that Gu Feng had trouble reading it.

The general idea is that as a common citizen, Qiao Yu helped other farmers in the county to the best of his ability and helped the court solve its problems. His spirit is commendable and should be encouraged.

Each silver note is worth one thousand taels.

A total of two thousand taels.

"Haha, this is what we call true encouragement!"

Qiao Yu smiled very happily.

When he was a child, he received a certificate of merit in the orphanage. There was always the words "for encouragement" on it, but Qiao Yu had never seen it before.

Who knew that traveling back to ancient times would allow me to enjoy myself.

Seeing Qiao Yu happy, Gu Feng was happy for him too.

No, I am very happy too.

The last time I went to Nanyang, I didn’t bring enough money.

Now I can take two thousand taels more with me when I go out.

"Daddy, what are you laughing at~"

Gu Heng had fallen asleep, but Qiao Yu laughed so loudly that he woke up.

"Be good, Heng. Daddy is just in a good mood. Just continue sleeping."

"it is good……"

After Gu Heng finished mumbling, he turned over and continued to sleep.

Qiao Yu leaned on Gu Feng and continued counting the money.

This time he planned to leave only one thousand taels in the villa and take the rest away to avoid coming across any good stuff again.

Of course, the gold bars that were previously deposited will not be moved.

Because of the drought this year, the price of gold bars has increased.

One tael of gold can be exchanged for twelve taels of silver.

This also made Qiao Yu realize that gold has first-class value preservation ability.

He wouldn't touch it unless it was absolutely necessary.

He and Gu Feng had saved two thousand taels of gold before, and Lucas came and gave some of it out.

But they quickly put the money back after making it.

So it’s still two thousand taels of gold.

The family also stored some silver ingots, but not much, only two thousand taels, because Qiao Yu always felt that gold was more valuable.

It can be said that all the silver notes were earned this year, and have not yet been exchanged for gold and silver.

It took Qiao Yu a long time to finish counting.

The total is 16,350 taels.

Four thousand of them were given by the King of Qi.

Five thousand came from the sale of wine, and the rest was earned from all other businesses combined.

It can be seen how important it is to screen the right products to make money.
