A jar of pepper sauce can be sold for twenty or thirty taels of silver in the capital, but when you go to Nanyang, you can exchange treasures and gems, it is a person, as long as you are not stupid, you know what to do, not to mention the shrewd businessman Yu Wangye.

At the end of October, Prince Yu's sea ship departed from the big wharf to the east of the capital, loaded with dazzling goods, including most of the pepper sauce collected from Qiao Lan and Feng Qixiang.

Zhong Yunjiao came for the second time, Qiao Lan went to Fengyang, and the third time she came, Qiao Lan was not there, but that day the landlord of Zhao happened to come over and "send" his granddaughter Zhao Qingli to Qiao's house, so he got acquainted with Zhong Yunjiao. After that, Zhong Yunjiao went to Hongxi Restaurant, tasted the pepper dishes there, and went to Zhao Landlord's pepper field to check.

Qiao Lan is now equivalent to doing exclusive business, as a businessman, Yu Wang Ye naturally does not want to be led by the nose, the mountains and rivers are far away, if you can plant peppers nearby, it is naturally the best policy.

But seeing that the quality of the peppers in Zhao's landlord's house was obviously inferior to the peppers on the West Bank and Da Zhuangzi, and the taste was also worse, he began to believe what Qiao Lan said at the beginning, "In addition to the formula, the ingredients in it are only available to me, even if you can get them in the future, the quality will definitely not be as good as the ones I produce here......"

If it weren't for those two boys, what special way of planting would they not have been?

Zhong Yunjiao asked for some pepper seeds from Landlord Zhao and Tang Wenqiang, and brought them back to the capital to try the bell, which will not be mentioned here for the time being. In November, a cold spell hit, and he set foot on the West Bank for the fourth time.

Feng Qixiang didn't go to the West Bank that day, and accidentally met Steward Tong who arranged for someone to go to Da Zhuangzi to ship chutney, and then he knew that someone from Taoyuan Restaurant in Beijing had come. It's on the West Bank.

Although he understood that Qiao Lan was not the one who suffered the loss, he still turned around and immediately rushed to the west bank, and before leaving, he left a sentence to Steward Tong, "In the future, you have to inform me of these things", which made the old housekeeper confused, "What are these things"?!"Don't bother me with these things" seems to be what you said, right?!

Steward Tong was entangled with himself, but Feng Er still couldn't see it, and told him that it would involve the Qiao family in the future. Unavoidably. Just tell the young master that it's right, and he suddenly realized.

In the small flower hall of Qiao's family, Qiao Lan and Zhong Yunjiao were greeting. Zhong Yunjiao saw Yuxi for the first time, whether he was sincere or loved Wu and Wu. I praised it a lot. also gave a jade pendant as a meeting gift.

Yuxi's eyes lit up. Hurriedly grabbed the jade pendant handed to him in his hand, however, his joy was only for a moment. He was raised by Qiao Lan with a large amount of precious jade. Non-high-grade jade is really difficult to get into his eyes.

I'll go, break a stone, just this water, I'm embarrassed to give it away, and I'm not afraid of knocking people.

Qiao Lan's eyes were quick, and she grabbed the little paw that he wanted to throw away the jade pendant, and then held him in his arms, lest Zhong Yunjiao see the disgust on his face.

After Shan Zixuan took the reluctant Yuxi away, the small flower hall was about to enter the main topic, and Feng Qixiang came in calmly, "Brother Qiao, come over for my brother to ask for a cup of tea." Yo, Shopkeeper Zhong is here to urge the goods again, and the business of Taoyuan Restaurant is good. "It's really fake.

Zhong Yunjiao smiled, "It's easy to say." It's all thanks to you and Mr. Qiao's efforts. ”

"You talk, leave me alone. I greeted myself, sat down and left. Feng Qixiang went to the side, and Feng Yi went to fetch him a tea set to make tea.

This is a common thing, Qiao Lan is not surprised, and she really should use him as a background wall, and start to beckon Zhong Yunjiao to talk about things.

Zhong Yunjiao knew that Qiao Lan was young and had her own set of rules for doing things, such as not liking people to beat around the bush, so after greetings, he bluntly said a few words about asking for seeds from Landlord Zhao and Tang Wenqiang, and then went straight to the point and asked about the planting method of pepper.

Zhong Yunjiao didn't expect Qiao Lan to know everything, but Qiao Lan said everything clearly except for not saying anything about breeding in advance, and he had already heard about these from Landlord Zhao, and the score was exactly the same, and it was even more detailed.

"Master Zhao also grows peppers as you said, however, what he grows is not as good as that grown by you and Feng Gongzi, so there should be something else. I hope you will be unrelenting. ”

Of course, Qiao Lan knew what this "something else" was, but at this moment, she wouldn't say it, so she said, "Well......

Zhong Yunjiao looked at Qiao Lan eagerly, wanting to get some valuable hints from her, but he didn't expect ......, "It should be that the West Bank and the Yang family's big Zhuangzi are particularly diligent in respecting the land gods." Qiao Lan said.

"......" Zhong Yunjiao's lips moved, but he didn't respond, he thought to himself, if you don't like to talk about it, don't say it, what nonsense, deceive ghosts!!

Qiao Lan knew what Zhong Yunjiao had in mind, and she generously took him to visit the pepper field on the west bank, and she was a mess.

Feng Qixiang continued to play the role of his moving background wall, accompanying him throughout the process.

Zhao landlord's pepper field and the pepper field on the west bank at a glance, there is no difference, whether it is the opening line or the spacing, but take a closer look, the difference is obvious, the pepper on the west bank is growing well, not only the pepper seedlings are red, the pepper is also generally bigger, and it is also spicy......

Zhong Yunjiao was thinking about how to set Qiao Lan's words, Feng Qixiangshen, who had been a foil, made a stroke, and poured a basin of cold water on his head, "Brother Qiao, it's cold this day, and the growth of the pepper is also worse, I estimate that it won't be long before it will wither, let's keep the remaining pepper sauce for ourselves to eat, and don't sell it, how?!"

Qiao Lan thought about it seriously, "It is estimated that there will be two thousand altars, and I can't eat so much, leaving eight hundred thousand children enough." ”

"Or are you thoughtful. ”

"......" Qiao Lan was embarrassed, this has nothing to do with thoughtfulness!

Compared with Qiao Lan and Feng Qixiang who wanted to intercept some of the goods, Zhong Yunjiao was more concerned about the growth of the pepper, and his little eyes were full of astonishment, "What's the matter, this thing still picks the climate?"

Feng Qixiang looked at Zhong Yunjiao coldly, "It's cold, you big man are still picking and shrinking, don't you want the pepper to die?"

Qiao Lan hurriedly pulled Feng Qixiang, who was choking inexplicably, aside, "He's been in a bad mood lately. Don't take the bell shopkeeper to heart. I don't know if the pepper picks the climate, but when it was cold last year, the pepper didn't like to grow......" she pointed out matter-of-factly, "Don't worry, although the capital is north, the pepper can also grow." But being able to grow and growing well are two different things, and she guesses that it may be much worse than what is planted by Landlord Zhao's family, which is one of the reasons why she has no fear.

What Qiao Lan could think of, how could Zhong Yunjiao not think that when he got here, his face was a little bad, and he regretted mentioning this matter to Qiao Lan a little, digging people's walls and smashing his own feet, stealing chickens and rice.

Next year's trial planting of peppers in Zhuangzi, a suburb of Beijing, still needs to be carried out, but Zhong Yunjiao no longer has much hope. Since the quality of peppers planted in the north is poor, the relationship between the Qiao family and the Qiao family must be tightened, and after that, Zhong Yunjiao will never mention the matter of planting peppers, and treat the transaction with the Qiao family more carefully.
