Chapter 161: Cultivating Cuties

"I don't bother to get involved, Your Majesty's body is gradually declining, it is the time to inspect the prince, at this time, if you get involved, you will definitely be involved in the partisan struggle, and you will not be able to stand in the right position, and you will not even have a small life at that time."

Du Lisheng could also understand this truth, nodded and sat beside him, "Royal affairs have been unpredictable since ancient times. ”

"Not exactly." Pei Shaojiu shook his head, "This third prince is already a foregone conclusion, his biological mother is a singer who ascended the throne, and now although she is a concubine, she has no ability to inherit the throne." ”

Du Lisheng nodded as if he didn't understand, and he didn't want to talk too much about this topic.

After a while, the topic was cut off, after all, the royal affairs should not be discussed in vain, and these things should not be studied by their ordinary people.

Originally, Zhou Xinzhi thought that the guest from the capital would not come again, after all, it seemed that she had a very unpleasant quarrel with Pei Shaojiu in her shop last time, but she didn't expect to meet her again in the store the next day.

"Are the guests looking for someone or a meal this time?"

"Dinner, today I came to try the special pot of our shop. Whatever is delicious, bring it up and taste it. ”

Qin Chaoyue didn't seem to be like yesterday, but was a little softer, as if she really just came to have a meal.

Zhou Xinzhi nodded, those who come are guests, as long as they are guests for dinner, she welcomes them.

Because Pei Shaojiu didn't quarrel with him faster yesterday, she didn't call Pei Shaojiu over today, but changed to a small servant to serve, fortunately, he didn't have much to do, and he ate quietly after the food was served.

"Not to mention, it's really different from ordinary things."

Qin Chaoyue tasted it carefully, although if it is judged by its appearance, this thing is indeed unsightly, but after all, this is something that ordinary people eat, and it doesn't matter if it looks good, but this taste is indeed good, and it is eye-catching.

Even Tan Hongjiao on the side felt that something was wrong.

The three princes have always been self-disciplined, and they don't eat much at every meal, but they will definitely put down their chopsticks if they are half full, but now the three princes have been eating for a long time, and the plates are several gone.

"Yes, it would be nice if I could also ask my father to try it."

When he said this, his eyebrows were curled, as if he was smiling, but the chill in his eyes was also terrifying.

For a while, it was very difficult to see what the relationship between the third prince and the current saint was.

"Your Majesty will naturally appreciate this filial piety of yours." Tan Hongjiao didn't know what to say for a while.

In the early years, the biological mother of the third prince tried her best to seduce Your Majesty, and then she entered the palace, and then coaxed the queen mother to give her a gold medal to avoid death.

The Empress Dowager likes to listen to music, this Concubine Liu goes to Taichen Palace every day to sing music, and over time, she is protected by the Empress Dowager, this son is considered to be sitting firmly, but it is a pity that His Majesty does not like her background, a prostitute, even if the son born is excellent, it is considered to be impure blood.

"Will it?" Qin Chaoyue hooked the corners of her lips and didn't say more, "I just don't know, if my father knows that the eldest prince he is interested in is hiding a different heart under his nose, what will happen?" ”

This time, Tan Hongjiao didn't speak, and he also knew that the third prince just needed someone to listen.

When the food was almost over, Qin Chaoyue didn't stay long, and left after paying the silver.

For several days, he came to this warm soup pot to eat, at first he thought it tasted very delicious, and when he returned to the place where he lived, the more he reminisced, the more he felt like he was hooked, and he always wanted to taste it again.

"It's really interesting, Tan Guard, you see, it's just a simple soup and dish, but with this special sauce, it immediately becomes different, it's really interesting."

"If the master likes it, I'll go to the proprietress and ask about this recipe."

As he spoke, he turned around and was about to go out, but was stopped by Qin Chaoyue.

"That's it, this is a business for people to eat, besides, although things are good, if you look at them every day, it won't be so interesting, let's have a chance to come again in the future, you go and prepare, we will go back to Beijing today."

"Yes."

Tan Hongjiao took the order and went out to prepare to return to Beijing, and as soon as he stepped out of the warm soup pot, he was clearly seen by Yinliu and Qin Shuang, who were hiding in the dark.

"What do you mean by the third prince coming to Pei Shaojiu this time?"

Yinliu leaned against the branch of the tree, with a stick of grass in his mouth, and his whole person was a little ruffian.

"I don't know, when I was in Beijing, I felt that this person was very thoughtful, and others couldn't see through what he thought, but now my father's health is deteriorating, and it is probably not because of any good thing."

For this imperial brother, Qin Shuang has always been awkward in her heart.

She had seen him beat a slave with an expressionless face, and it was natural to say that the master taught the slave a lesson, but he was only five years old at the time, and he was so ruthless when he was five years old, and he may not be a fuel-efficient lamp when he grows up.

"You too, you've been hiding in the dark for the past few days, if I hadn't reminded you quickly at the time, would you have been exposed?"

Silverstream straightened up, spat out the withered grass in his mouth, and asked with a smile in his eyes.

"What's the matter, this palace took you out of the palace to get rid of your slavery, just to make you tease me?" Qin Shuang glanced at him.

After waiting for a while, I saw Qin Chaoyue swaggering out of the shop and getting into the carriage.

"Keep an eye on him, and if there's a problem, come back and tell me."

Waving his hand, Yinliu responded to this matter and then dodged away, and Qin Shuang also appeared from the shadows and entered the shop.

"You're back, Qin Shuang." Zhou Xinzhi had just finished collecting the money and was fiddling with the abacus to settle the accounts, when she saw Qin Shuang coming over.

Originally, after coming back from Yuancun last time, she still wanted to find Qin Shuang to send the saber out, but she didn't expect that the next day she would ask someone to say that she had something at home and left for a while.

"I've been in trouble these days." Qin Shuang nodded, stepped forward and said with a smile.

"What's the matter, you can just go and get busy." Zhou Xinzhi didn't care, she was watching in the shops on the left and right, and there was nothing wrong, "Oh yes, it just so happens that I have something for you." ”

She suddenly thought of the saber she had placed in the backyard.

"Lisheng, you help me calculate the account book, and Qin Shuang and I will go to the backyard to get something." She raised her hand to greet Du Lisheng on the side.

wiped his hands and pulled Qin Shuang to the backyard.

"What's that?" Qin Shuang smiled faintly, this is really strange, what does Zhou Xinzhi have to give her?

"I'll tell you, it's a good baby." She said with mysterious eyes in her eyes, walked to the backyard and pushed open the door of the storeroom directly, walked to the side and took out the sword she had wrapped, "Oh, this is it." ”

Seeing this sword, Qin Shuang's eyes tightened.

She is a royal person, so she naturally knows that this sword is in Tan Hongzhi's hand, how is it in Zhou Xinzhi's hands now?

"How did you get this sword?"

"I met a man on the way to Yuancun before, I saw that his sword was good, and it happened that he came to find our stubble, so he shot to come over, and it was a pity that this sword was a pity, I thought that your skills should be able to use this, so I thought about coming back and giving it to you."

Qin Shuang couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

This is remembered, and my heart is really warm, but this thing is Tan Hong's, if she takes it back so openly, I am afraid that someone will think that the three princes of the things she supports will be in the same vein, and there will be a big incident at that time, but this gift is also expensive, and she said that if she doesn't like it, it must be fake.

"Then Qin Shuang thanked the proprietress for that, it just so happens that I also have a gift for you, you see, let's go together."

After speaking, she took out the jade in her arms, and engraved a machine word on it.

"You keep this brand, if you encounter danger that you can't get rid of in the future, you can take it out and die."

Zhou Xinzhi was stunned, she naturally knew that Qin Shuang hadn't prepared any gifts at all, this thing was much more valuable than its saber, so she waved her hand and confiscated it.

"This thing is really valuable, you know, I can provoke anyone as a little woman, besides, I can snatch such a good sword, and who can hurt me? It's much more useful for you to keep this for yourself than for me. ”

She pushed back the jade card and took the lead in speaking while Qin Shuang was about to speak.

"This thing suits you, but it may not suit me, if this piece of jade has no effect on me, then it loses its value, you keep it, besides, I gave you this sword, I don't want you to give me a gift back."

She waved her hand indifferently, just after noon, and there were guests again, she made a random excuse and left first.

Qin Shuang, who was left in the backyard, was stunned for a long time, and suddenly burst out laughing.

This little lady is really funny, before I just thought she was temperamental, but now I think she has more than so many secrets.

After the episode, the warm soup pot is open again as before, and there are more and more people, and this hot pot base and shrimp slip also need more, these two are second, the most important is this shiitake mushroom.

Some people were addicted to eating before, one passed two, two passed three, and this shiitake mushroom was still popular among the guests, but now they don't have time to go to the mountains to pick them.

As soon as the business is busy, the problem will come out.

"Xiao Tongzi, do you have any seedlings that can grow shiitake mushrooms?" Zhou Xinzhi sat behind the counter, holding her chin, and took a rare breath.

"Yes, there are mushroom seeds, does the owner want to exchange them?"

"Give me some exchange, how much is the F-value?" She rubbed her temples, and the herbs at home didn't seem to be able to keep up with the supply, and it couldn't go on like this.

"Master, there are less than fifty left in the F-value, so it's better to replenish it as soon as possible."

"Got it, help me exchange the seedlings first, as much as possible."

Because the cultivation of shiitake mushrooms and leeks has high requirements for temperature, as well as moisture, Zhou Xinzhi also deliberately vacated a house in the backyard to cultivate her little cuties.

In the daytime, the sun is abundant, and the sunlight can be obtained by opening the wooden window, and the temperature can be guaranteed by burning charcoal in the house at night, and the water can be poured frequently.

She took the exchanged seedlings and planted the mushrooms first, and the house was warm, and she was covered with sweat after only staying for a while.

As for the herbs, Zhou Xinzhi sighed, it seems that this still has to find Mr. Wei.
