Chapter 33: How can I not suck?

The dry fish is dry, the ammunition is exhausted, and the food is exhausted.

Lian Jingxiao looked down, then turned around and asked, "Why did you send this thing?"

Qiao asked with a look on your face: "This is the polar snow fox! It's an extremely rare species, I promise you can't find more than five in this world..."

Lian Jingxiao narrowed her eyes: "Tell the truth."

Joe asked: "I'm afraid..."

Lian Jingxiao: "..."

Qiao Wenzhi said discouragedly: "I wasn't afraid at first, but when Tuoba Yi sent someone to send them here, the eunuch said that this thing is a great tonic, and eating it can prolong life. After that, these two stupid things kept looking at me He stared at me coldly, and this time he came here, he stared at me all the way."

The fox itself is a bit of an evil animal. If you stare at people with some emotion, it is indeed a little creepy, but the two in front of you are obviously more humane. Chi Canghai understands Qiao Wenzhi's fear, but... ... Chi Canghai had a strange expression on his face: "Actually, you don't need to eat and live with them..."

Chi Canghai looked at the expression on Qiao Wen's face struck by lightning, and suddenly felt a little sympathetic that maybe this sentence hit him harder...

After thinking about it, he finally said helplessly, "Leave it, it looks pretty." Anyway, if Qiao Wenzhi took it back, he would definitely not want it.

Lian Jingxiao frowned inaudibly, but smiled faintly: "Okay, if you like it, then keep it."

After Qiao Wenzhi left the things behind, he ran out secretly, as if he was afraid that the husband and wife would go back on their word and ask him to take the fox away again...

On the second day after receiving the secret letter, Lian Jingxiao sent a letter to Lin Qiuqing, the left guard of the Huainan Army. The news that the third prince led the troops to Kangju should be let them know in advance, and he also wanted to know the recent What happened to the Yuezhi Army?

Although Lian Jingxiao and Qiao Wenzhi didn't show any nervous reactions to yesterday's letter, Chi Canghai always felt that things would not be that simple, especially when thinking about the relationship between the third prince who was about to lead the army and the Xiao family. Even more uneasy, they just pissed off that Young Master Xiao...

He didn't know anything about leading the army to fight, or arranging troops. The only thing he could do now was to make money, so after Lian Jingxiao left, Chi Canghai asked someone to prepare a carriage and headed to Yinglin Pavilion.

Everything in the pavilion is operating normally. Fortunately, the matter of the wood has no effect on Yinglin Pavilion. I heard from Ginkgo that after the incident spread, more people became interested in Yinglin Pavilion. The guests in the past two days Even more.

While flipping through the account books, Chi Canghai nodded casually while listening to Ginkgo's report.

Although it is a good thing to have a stable source of customers, he also knows that he can't stick to these current projects all the time. He must come up with new things to make money, otherwise the income will only decrease, let alone help Lian Jingxiao make up for it. Army expenses.

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard someone asking outside the house: "Is the master here? I have something to ask him."

Hearing this voice, Chi Canghai knew who was outside, and hurriedly said, "Come in, please."

The girl and Mu Mu that Chi Canghai brought over by himself still called him young master, and everyone else basically called him Shizifei, only Wang Lianquan called him master.

Wang Yuchu looked rich as always, and entered the house one after another with Mu Mu. When he saw Chi Canghai saluting, he spoke directly without talking nonsense: "Master, there are not enough materials in the pavilion, and the dishes can no longer be made."

Chi Canghai frowned: "Not enough materials? What's missing?"

The wood on one side pondered for a while and said: "Mr. Wang has been developing dishes based on your wishes. Flowers, milk, and fruits are the main ingredients. The other two flavors are sufficient, but this fruit will be gone." Wang Lianquan thought about it Thinking about it, I also said a little annoyed: "If I don't use fruits, I can make more dishes for the other two types."

Chi Canghai narrowed his eyes slightly. He was indeed negligent about this matter, and then he couldn't help smiling wryly. He wanted to start some new projects, but the old ones haven't been settled yet...

The reason why he proposed these three things at the beginning was that women like to eat them, and they all have the effect of moisturizing and beautifying. He only thought that flowers and cows were in short supply, so that Lin Danyang could buy more, but he forgot that in western Myanmar, fruit It is also scarce.

Most of the official and aristocratic families here have greenhouses, which are houses built directly on the ground. The heating method is the same as that of human houses. Leave a vent on the head, so that when firewood is burned in winter, the heat will flow into the gap, and the room will be warm. This kind of design is not available in ordinary homes, and it cannot be used, and even people cannot enjoy it. Come, let alone get a greenhouse.And because the greenhouse is filled with land, some vegetables can be grown, and some people even build a special room to grow flowers and grass, which is extremely extravagant.And Chi Canghai actually spent a time extravagantly for the series of flowers and plants in his pavilion...

But this method is suitable for growing vegetables and flowers, but it is not suitable for growing fruits. To preserve fruits and vegetables here, you can only use the cellar, and you can only store non-perishable ones, such as sweet potatoes, cabbage, apples and pears, and you will not save a lot. , Just to survive the winter for the family.Wang Lianquan hadn't come to talk to him about this before, and he was afraid that he had been using the apples and pears he had brought in. Now that winter is almost halfway through, he probably won't be able to receive these two.

Chi Canghai lightly tapped the handrail with his fingers, his face remained calm, but he was very worried in his heart. This place is not as modern as it is. Fresh fruits and vegetables are available all year round. In addition to growing in greenhouses, they can also be transported by air. Riding on the red dust concubine and laughing, no one knows that it is the right to come from the lychees. Besides, the kind of delivery from post station to post station, if the horse runs away to death, a box of lychees will be brought over. In Yinglin Pavilion, it is not enough to fit between teeth.The winter in Huainan is too cold. There are places where there are fruits in this season. The nearest one is to go to Qinbei, but it will take more than 30 days to ship a large number of goods every time. about there……

Wang Lianquan probably thought of this too, so he took the next best thing to comfort him if he didn't have any fruit, otherwise, with his serious attitude towards cooking, he would never compromise easily.However, this series of projects cannot be cancelled.

The reason why he dared to sell the items at Yinglin Pavilion at such a high price was because they were not available anywhere else. They were so scarce that they were sold in Haikou on the opening day. How could he cancel them now?Tell the guests, I'm sorry, it's winter, and Yinglin Pavilion can't get any fruit. Please start spring early?Thinking of this, Chi Canghai sighed and said, "How long will the fruit last?"

Mu Mu thought for a while and said, "It will take less than ten days for the ones in the pavilion, but I can go to the surrounding villages and towns to collect them. If the price is high enough, I should be able to collect a lot."

Chi Canghai nodded: "Collect it first, the price doesn't matter, you have to pay the customer after ordering, and you can't smash the signboard. This matter... I will figure out a way."

On the carriage back home, Chi Canghai leaned against the window and muttered: "Banana, apple, pear, pineapple, sweet orange, cantaloupe..." How can we keep it from rotten...

Laixi outside the car listened to Chi Canghai repeating these two lines, and felt admiration: The concubine Shizi is really talented, and these two lines of poems rhyme so much...

In the next few days, Lian Jingxiao has been very busy, busy paying attention to the movements of the palace and Yueshi, and discussing the current possible situation with the people in the mansion, and Chi Canghai is also very busy, busy sleeping with Lian Jing every day. Flipping through books in Xiao's study.

The Zhennan Palace has received several secret letters from the palace, most of which are about the preparations for the [-]-strong army and the day when the army is about to leave. These are nothing special. Since ancient times, when sending troops, food and grass go first, especially this time. As a prince, the various ministries will naturally have to prepare everything properly, but this time the departure date has been set, and the lieutenant of Zanjun has been set, but Emperor Zhengde has not yet made a decision on the candidates for the left and right lieutenants.

Lian Jingxiao tapped on the desk with his fingers, and gently rubbed the center of his brows with the other hand. When he looked up, he saw the person leaning on the soft couch in his study, the coldness between his brows and eyes subconsciously softened.

He had discovered before that Chi Canghai liked to be quiet. Apart from playing chess and making tea, he would read books in his hands when he had nothing to do in his spare time. Take what you see.It's just that in the past few days, it's obvious that he's not just killing time.

Lian Jingxiao has seen him with firm eyes, unflinching in the face of other people's aggression, he has seen him a little complacent, with a sly and calculating look, but now his black hair hangs down behind him, concentrating on reading a book quietly His appearance attracted his attention even more.

The man on the soft couch is undoubtedly beautiful, but although beautiful men are rare, there are some, while Chi Canghai has two characteristics of childishness and calmness, and there is no contradiction at all. Everywhere reveals a kind of calmness and composure, the slightly raised corners of his eyes did not make his beauty seductive, but instead gave people a kind of cold and alienation, but made people even more unable to move their eyes away.

Chi Canghai probably saw the important point, suddenly turned over and sat up, crossed his legs and continued to read, without taking his eyes off the book for a moment.Lian Jingxiao chuckled, seeing his snow-white feet exposed outside the hem of his clothes, shook his head, got up and covered his legs with a raccoon blanket.

Chi Canghai was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he stretched out his hand to touch the blanket, then raised the corner of his mouth and looked up at Lian Jingxiao: "Your Majesty."

Lian Jingxiao sat beside him: "What book are you reading?"

Chi Canghai raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "It's just miscellaneous books." Then he closed the book and handed it to Lian Jingxiao.

Lian Jingxiao looked at the title of the book and realized that it was a travelogue about novelty objects from various places. He usually read more about military books. If Chi Canghai hadn't been reading it, he probably wouldn't have known that there was such a book in his study.

Lian Jingxiao put down the book: "If you like it, I'll ask Lai Xi to find some more for you."

Chi Canghai smiled happily: "It's okay, anyway, I have found what I was looking for."

Lian Jingxiao's fingers lightly stroked the bruises under Chi Canghai's eyes, and frowned slightly: "What happened in the pavilion? Why is it so hard?"

Chi Canghai was stunned for a moment, but Lian Jingxiao's gaze made him a little embarrassed: Was it hard?He really didn't feel it... Then the corners of his mouth curled up: "Do you feel distressed?"
