Chapter 473: Tomatoes

"Lord, Lord, you see this thing ......is cute," Fluttershy happily runs into the house, holding a fist-sized red object in her hand. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What, what excites you so much?" Zhao Shuo chuckled and turned around, his gaze falling on the red object in Fluttershy's hand. "Tomatoes?"

"Tomatoes?" Fluttershy looks at the tomato in her hand. "Is this thing called a tomato?"

"Fluttershy, where did you get this?" Zhao Shuo couldn't help but ask.

In Zhao Shuo's cognition, tomatoes were only introduced to China in the Ming Dynasty, and in the late Qing Dynasty, they were really eaten as vegetables. But now that Fluttershy is holding a tomato in her hand, and the date is 1132, how can he not be shocked.

"Molda brought it back from Sichuan, and I thought it was fun to take a ......," Fluttershy whispers with her head down. Don't tell him, lord, or he will definitely talk about slaves. ”

Seeing Fluttershy like this, Zhao Shuo knows that the tomato must have been stolen by Fluttershy from Molda. But this theft, not only is there no fault, but it is obviously meritorious.

"Forget it this time, but there will be no next time." Zhao Shuo said softly.

"I know that the prince is the best, don't worry, the slave is not the kind of person who steals, but this time, seeing that this thing is relatively fresh and fun, I quietly took one." Fluttershy gives a promise and an explanation.

"Where's Molda? Take me there. Zhao Shuo said with a smile.

"Lord Wang, didn't you say to forgive the slave this time? Take the slave and maid to the place of Lord Mo, and he will definitely punish the slave and maid. Fluttershy pouted, feeling like Zhao Shuo was fooling her.

"You're thinking too much!" Zhao Shuo gestures to the tomatoes in Fluttershy's hand. "It's a good thing, I'm afraid he'll waste it, so I'm going to hurry over and take a look."

"What the prince said is true?" Fluttershy stares at Zhao Shuo with a half-believing expression.

"It doesn't count when this king speaks." Zhao Shuo put on a high-minded look.

"Hehe......" Zhao Shuo's expression made Fluttershy cover her mouth and laugh lightly, then turned around and left the mansion with Zhao Shuo.

After Zhao Shuo's control area stabilized, he began to promote and encourage commerce, and it was at this time that Molda was proposed by Zhao Shuo from Zhaocai Restaurant to take care of Zhao Shuo's business. It can be said that Molda is the spokesperson of Zhao Shuo's business and is responsible for all Zhao Shuo's transactions.

This is Zhao Shuo's other source of income in addition to Zhaocai Restaurant, and it is also the main reliance for the construction of Keju Field.

The commodity transfer station set up by Zhao Shuo for Molda is in the east of the city and is a large courtyard.

When Zhao Shuo came, life was boiling here, and he was constantly carrying goods.

The goods here are everything from vegetable Daoshu brocade, but for such a prosperous business, Zhao Shuo is quite dissatisfied in his heart.

Because in addition to food, it is used, to put it bluntly, most of them are daily necessities for the common people and nobles.

As for the industrial supplies that Zhao Shuo wants to see, there is no at all.

"Lord Mo, the prince has come to see you." Fluttershy beckons to Molda from afar.

Overexcited, Fluttershy completely ignores the tomatoes in her hand. There are too many people and the sound is noisy, and Molda and Ben don't hear what Fluttershy is saying, but they see the tomatoes in Fluttershy's hand.

His heart tightens and he walks over in a few steps to ask where Fluttershy's tomatoes come from.

"Fluttershy, where did you get this thing from?" Molda approaches Fluttershy, points to the tomatoes in Fluttershy's hand, and coldly speaks.

Fluttershy is startled and takes a few steps back, hiding behind Zhao Shuo. "The prince said, forget it this time, just don't do it again in the future."

"Alright, alright." Zhao Shuo sees Fluttershy seeing Molda like a mouse sees a cat, and chuckles and helps him out. Fluttershy didn't mean to, I asked him to come over and see if you had anything interesting, and he saw it, so he took it back to me. That's why I came to see you. ”

Molda looked at Fluttershy again before turning to Zhao Shuo. "If the prince likes novelty things, he can order them to come down, and every time the minister comes back, he will send the things. Send someone over and take things away without saying anything, this minister thinks ......"

Molda said it implicitly, but it was dissatisfied. If Fluttershy comes to tell him that Zhao Shuo asked him to take something, he will also give it to Fluttershy, but whether Fluttershy took it secretly or was ordered by Zhao Shuo means that Zhao Shuo doesn't believe him.

Looking at Molda's appearance, Zhao Shuo guessed that Molda might have a crooked understanding. Thinking about what I just said, there are indeed some problems.

I thought I could help Fluttershy out of the siege with a casual word, but I didn't want to forget to take care of Molda.

"Hehe......" Zhao Shuo smiled a little helplessly. Alas~! I knew that Brother Mo had misunderstood, and I might as well leave her alone......" Zhao Shuo pulled Fluttershy out from behind him. "Just let her tell you about it."

"Lady Mo, that's what happened...... Fluttershy knows that she is in trouble, and she doesn't dare to hide it, and tells her all the causes and consequences.

After she finished speaking, she held the tomato in both hands and handed it to Molda. "Master Mo, I know it's wrong, you can take it back."

"Lord Wang, do you know what this thing is called?" After Molda listens to Fluttershy's words, her attention shifts from Fluttershy to Zhao Shuo. And, his eyes sparkle with curiosity.

"Brother Mo, let's talk about where you got this tomato." Zhao Shuo asked the question he was most concerned about.

"It's called a tomato." Molda glances at the tomatoes Fluttershy holds in her hand before revealing where the tomatoes came from. "This is when I bought Shu brocade in Shudi, I found it in a small mountain village, although I don't know what this thing is, but I think this thing looks good, maybe someone will like it, and the price of this thing is quite cheap, so I bought some back."

After finishing speaking, Molda didn't wait for Zhao Shuo to speak, and continued. "Since the prince knows this thing, is this thing worth it? Did it work? ”

As a businessman, the value of tomatoes is what Molda cares about the most.

After listening to Molda's words, Zhao Shuo pondered for a while, and he thought of the introduction to tomatoes he had seen before. Tomatoes are native to South America and were introduced to China during the Ming Dynasty, and began to be eaten in large quantities as a vegetable during the Qing Dynasty. But after that, there are some records. An ancient tomb more than 2,000 years ago was discovered in Sichuan, and some unknown seeds were found in the ancient tomb, and after archaeologists cultivated it, it was found that it was actually tomato seeds.

"It seems that the record is true!" Zhao Shuo looked happy and muttered to himself.
