Chapter 107: Chili Pepper Makes Money
When Qin Zhao arrived at the queen's palace, the hot dumplings had already been served on the table, and Lu Qingjin's eyes lit up when he saw him: "You can be regarded as coming, the dumplings will be cold for a while, and this bracken will not taste good when it is cold, you come and taste it." ”
Qin Zhao's expression was mild for a moment, he sat at the table helplessly, dumplings are different from other dishes, its taste will not be exuded, Qin Zhao looked at the ordinary dumplings and frowned with some resistance.
Lu Qingjin handed him the sauce mixed with chili peppers: "Hurry up and taste it, this is really delicious." ”
Qin Zhao tentatively picked up one and put it in the bowl and dipped it, and when he took a bite, the freshness of the bracken mixed with the aroma of the meat exploded in his mouth, making people feel the urge to eat even chopsticks.
Qin Zhao ate one after another without raising his head, Lu Qingjin looked at him blankly, and suddenly felt that this man was very attractive, Qin Zhao held dumplings in his mouth and said vaguely: "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”
Lu Qingjin came back to his senses and blushed a little, and hesitated for a while before saying, "Isn't this thinking about things?" I thought that the peppers in the yard were already ripe, and we couldn't eat them all if there were too many, so we might as well take them to the market and sell them, but I heard that some people in the Western Regions like peppers very much, but they can't think of it because of the poor soil, so they can sell it for a lot of money! ”
Qin Zhao ate the last dumpling, patted his stomach, and sighed in satisfaction: "You have a lot of ideas, but your garden is not that big, and there are not many chili peppers, so forget it!" ”
Lu Qingjin hated iron and said: "I'm not here for the ten-year covenant, you can't support me well." ”
Qin Zhao raised his hand and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, you can say okay, I will send a few people to follow you tomorrow, and someone from the Internal Affairs Office will be in charge." ”
Lu Qingjin looked at his tired appearance without arguing, and said gently: "You can rest assured!" I know in my own heart, it's not too early, you can go back and rest! I'm going to have a meeting with the ministers in the afternoon! ”
Qin Zhao agreed and left directly, Lu Qingjin patted the non-existent dust on his body: "Xiao Ling, quickly call the Venerable Master to go out, and we will rest when the peppers are sold." ”
Xiao Ling hurriedly followed behind Lu Qingjin with a few little guards, and Lu Qingjin whispered while looking around, "Do you know how our chili harvest is?" I've been patronizing other things for a while, and I haven't looked at them for a few days. ”
Xiao Ling said with some embarrassment: "The peppers are planted in the corner of the garden, there is something in the way, and the slave and maid haven't looked at it for a long time, but listening to the little eunuch who usually waters it seems to grow well." ”
Lu Qingjin felt a little helpless, and the group soon arrived at the vegetable garden, bypassing the shelter of a wooden plank, Lu Qingjin clearly saw the peppers hanging on the branches, and it was very gratifying to look at densely.
Xiao Ling was a little excited and stretched out his hand to pull down a chili seedling and counted: "Niangniang has nearly twenty chili peppers on this plant, it seems that we can sell it for a lot of money this time!" ”
Lu Qingjin was also very happy, she commanded the people behind her to pick all the chili peppers, and added: "Be careful, don't break it, notify the people from the Internal Affairs Office in a while, and I will personally tell them how to sell it." ”
The red peppers were picked one by one, and after a while, several bags were picked, and the land was empty all of a sudden, Lu Qingjin looked at the rice on the side thoughtfully: "This place is kept, isn't there only one rice field there?" It happened to be ripe, and I would come and plant the land in a moment. ”
Xiao Ling agreed and hesitated for a while before saying: "There is an accident in the palace, I heard that someone said that it is haunted again, and this rumor seems to be aimed at all the mothers, and you, as the queen, bear the brunt." ”
Lu Qingjin had already annoyed these people to make trouble, but after all, she couldn't take care of it with multiple uses, she let out a long sigh: "You go and tell the people in the guard office to be careful, don't let the palace people come out at night, as for the rumors, there is no way for a while, let him go!" ”
The head of the Internal Affairs Office came over at a trot, and when he saw Lu Qingjin saluting, he spoke: "The slave already knows, so don't worry about leaving this matter to us!" It certainly won't be a problem. ”
Lu Qingjin nodded and looked at the chili peppers that were in good condition: "These are all grown in this palace, needless to say, the quality is naturally needless to say, you only sell people to people in the Western Regions, remember that this bag is sold for at least ten gold, they have money." ”
The people from the Internal Affairs Office looked at the dense bags in front of them and were a little helpless, but the leading eunuch said: "Isn't Niangniang embarrassing us!" This bag can be sold for a gold at most. ”
Lu Qingjin looked at him coldly: "I know that the Internal Affairs Office usually doesn't have much oil and water, and at this time, Dayu is poor, but you have figured out what to do." ”
The leading eunuch's face was pale and he confessed again and again, and took the peppers away with people who didn't dare to take them away, Xiao Ling looked at his back and was a little puzzled: "What does Niangniang know?" But how could the slave think he had a point! This chili pepper doesn't look like it can be sold for ten gold. ”
Lu Qingjin said while checking the ripe rice: "I don't know anything, but the Internal Affairs Office has existed for so many years, and they must have made a lot of benefits when the treasury was inexplicably emptied, and the things in this palace naturally can't be sold in Dayu, so they have a lot of ways in the Western Regions and the Hu people, even if these peppers themselves can't be sold at those prices, they will find a way." ”
Xiao Ling raised a finger and exclaimed: "Niangniang is really ice and snow smart, I think I will be able to stop in this palace soon." ”
Lu Qingjin then remembered that there was still a haunted thing, she rubbed her forehead helplessly: "This is not necessarily, my ability is to grow fields and sell things, I really don't know about the affairs of this palace, especially managing these trivial things." ”
Xiao Ling pursed his lips and was a little helpless: "If you want to say that you are good at managing things or Concubine Yun, the guards in Concubine Li's palace heard that it is quite good, after all, Concubine Shu's family is safe from Shang's palace, even Concubine Xian is famous, our palace can be said to be the worst, this haunted is the first one we want to come to." ”
Lu Qingjin thought of those green-faced and fanged ghosts shivering, and he couldn't care about the rice in his hand at the moment, so he hurriedly said: "Don't say it, notify a few concubines to come to my palace, I don't believe that the unlucky one will be me." ”
