Feng Zhaozhao wiped his hands, raised his feet and went out happily, handing over the work of making shrimp to Qian Fugui.

Coming to the back door, Feng Zhaozhao greeted the black-faced man in front of him warmly. Last time she bought fresh lychees, she was interested in the caravan transporting lychees, and privately entrusted someone to investigate, and learned that the man who led the team was surnamed Xu, and Xu was a big surname in Lingnan.

"Boss Xu's journey is good, it's not easy to go from Lingnan to the capital, and it's difficult for your caravan to go back and forth."

Feng Zhaozhao was very sympathetic when he saw the crowd, the status of businessmen in this era was low, and even if they had a lot of money, they were not respected. In addition, it is difficult for small businessmen to do business, and if they want to make money, they must be able to endure hardship.

Xu Kerong bowed his hand, this middle-aged man was exposed to the wind and sun every day, his complexion was darker than that of ordinary people, and his white teeth were very conspicuous.

"There are two young people who are worried, there is no danger on this road, the mountain roads in Lingnan are not easy to walk, and the bamboo basket is carried out carefully by a donkey. Along the way, the boat and carriage sat all over the place, just to send the fresh fruit to the capital and sell it for a few more money. ”

It's not easy, Feng Zhaozhao sighed faintly, and was glad that she had crossed over to become a noble lady in Shangshu Mansion, and she didn't have to worry about firewood, rice, oil and salt.

"I've bought all your goods, everyone come in and rest, I'll let the kitchen prepare a meal and eat a little more." The price of goods in the capital is expensive, and you waste money by going to the restaurant for a meal. It just so happened that I had a few new ingredients and was about to let the people in the house try them. ”

Xu Kerong thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, and had the heart to have a good relationship with Qin Ershao, who was wealthy. Although he has been with Er Shao for a short time, Xu Kerong has a good sense of Qin Er Shao, at least Er Shao did not snatch the fruit and did not give money, and the amount of money given was sufficient.

This time he hurriedly led a team to sell fruits, and Xu Kerong planned on the way to sell fruits to the generous Qin Ershao.

Entering the Guogong Mansion, the breathing of the big men became nervous, this is General Qin's home, and they feel magnificent when they look at everything.

Qian Fugui walked over to look at Xu Kerong, and was speechless when he saw a basket of fresh fruits. This Qin Ershao is really, he is willing to buy fresh fruits from Lingnan, why is he not willing to give a good gift to the old man.

Feng Zhaozhao explained: "The fruit is bought for your own people to eat, you don't know that the Guogong Mansion is used to saving, poor Qin Steward, a housekeeper of the Guogong Mansion, has never eaten lychees in most of his life." I have money in hand, so naturally I can't treat my own people badly, so I can rest assured that I have your share. ”

instructed the family to prepare a meal for Xu Kerong and his party, and Feng Zhaozhao found a wooden bench for the guests to sit down and chatted about the scenery of Lingnan.

Chatting about the scenery on his mouth, Feng Zhaozhao was more concerned about the situation in Lingnan, there was a prince of the opposite sex in Lingnan, and that was the soil emperor of Lingnan. If the king of Zhennan rebelled, the court would definitely let the Qin family soldiers go to suppress it.

In the book, did the king of Zhennan rebel, Feng Zhaozhao had no impression at all, and vaguely remembered that the hero and heroine went to Lingnan together. If there is no major event, how can the emperor go to Lingnan, it can be seen that in the future, what big things will happen in Lingnan.

Xu Kerong heard Ershao praise the good scenery of Lingnan, and said with a wry smile: "It's just that there are many trees and flowers, and in Xu's opinion, the people of Lingnan are too hard." There are many mountains and forests and few cultivated fields, many people do not have enough to eat, and there are too many fruits to eat, and the fruit trees in the wild cannot bear delicious fruits. ”

Xu Kerong talked about the suffering of the people in his hometown, and his eyes were red as he spoke.

Feng Zhaozhao frowned and said: "Lingnan doesn't have a king of Zhennan, the prince manages the Lingnan court without interference, why doesn't he think of a way to let the people of the fiefdom live a good life." ”

Feng Zhaozhao knew that in order to appease Lingnan, the court had made the king of Zhennan, and no official was willing to go to Lingnan, which was a poor and remote country, so he simply let the king of Zhennan manage it himself. The prince has the right to appoint the magistrate, and the right to give it is very large.

Xu Kerong said with a tangled face: "Lingnan is too poor, our prince is not rich, everyone is poor, and no one is willing to be an official." The prince doesn't even have a decent palace, to be honest, the prince has been looking forward to the emperor calling him to Beijing, and he is worried that he will be laughed at by hundreds of officials if he doesn't have good clothes. ”

Feng Zhaozhao smacked her tongue when she heard it, in her opinion, Lingnan is a cornucopia, the four seasons are like spring, and the scenery is good. I didn't expect that the king of Zhennan had no way to make money, and he wanted to come to the capital to fight the autumn breeze.

In the world where Feng Zhaozhao lives, Lingnan is a good place for tourism and vacation. Feng Zhaozhao went to Lingnan several times with his classmates when he was in college, and was deeply impressed by the trees all over the mountains and fields, and was fascinated by the special snacks.

Raising his eyes and looking at the expressions of the people around him, Qian Fugui's expressions remained unchanged, as if they thought that Lingnan was a place where birds didn't. In their minds, Lingnan is probably only a few points stronger than the border passes, and they are all poor places.

Handing Xu Kerong a cup of tea, Feng Zhaozhao comforted and said: "Boss Xu, don't be sad, I believe that there is no bitter place, and the hard days of coming to Lingnan will pass." ”

Xu Kerong took a sip of tea and said helplessly: "I don't know if I can see it that day." Lingnan is my hometown, and I have always dreamed of its prosperity. ”

Seeing the family coming with the food, Feng Zhaozhao said with a smile: "Put the wooden table on the table, you eat first, and drink a bowl of hot soup all the way to eliminate your fatigue." The suffering will eventually pass, and I believe that Lingnan is a treasure land, and the mountain gods will protect its people. ”

The group traveled tirelessly, and rushed all the way to the capital without eating a hot meal. Seeing the steaming rice in the stoneware bowl, Boss Xu couldn't help but swallow.

Feng Zhaozhao asked the family to put a few folding tables, beckoned Xu Kerong and his party to eat, and treated the guests very kindly.

Speaking of folding tables, this is a good way that Feng Zhaozhao accidentally thought of a few days ago, and it just so happened that there was a family in the house who was good at carpenter work and skillfully made folding tables.

Beckoning Qian Fugui to sit down, Feng Zhaozhao handed Young Master Qian a bowl of kelp pork rib soup, and said with a smile: "This is pork ribs, Young Master Qian don't dislike it, I think pork ribs taste good." Rest assured that the pigs bought by the Guogong Mansion are clean and can be imported. ”

Knowing that the rich and noble people are exquisite, they love to eat beef and mutton, and pigs are inferior animals in their eyes.

Without much persuasion, Feng Zhaozhao handed two bowls of soup to Qingping and the others, and asked them to eat under the tree. Outsiders are not allowed to let them eat at the table, and of course the two Lime and Lime will not sit at the same table with the young lady.

Steward Qin has a different status, he can sit down to eat, he does not dislike pork ribs, and the delicious taste of soup fills his mouth.

"Ershao's taste? The first time I tasted it, I didn't expect seaweed and pork bones to be so delicious. ”

Feng Zhaozhao praised Steward Qin for his taste, and glanced at Qian Fugui, who did not move chopsticks, Feng Zhaozhao said happily: "This aquatic plant is called kelp, to put it bluntly, it is a vegetable that grows in the sea, and it can be freshened when placed in the soup." You can try the seaweed egg drop soup again, with dried shrimp in it, and it tastes good. ”

Steward Qin tasted the egg drop soup and was very satisfied with the taste of seaweed. The key is that these ingredients are cheap and easy to obtain, and can be supplied to the border in large quantities.

The hungry caravan men at the next table were eating with their heads down. White rice is not often eaten on weekdays, and a few plates of side dishes stir-fried in lard make people feel good, and a few bowls of hot soup taste even more beautiful.

The hungry man's eating appearance is unsightly, which makes people look good at it. Feng Zhaozhao's delicious gnawing ribs, without the discipline of the old mother, can use his hands to grab the ribs and eat.

Qian Fugui looked left and right, and saw that the man at the adjacent table was rushing to eat fried pork slices, and Boss Xu was worthy of being the boss of the team, and his efforts to grab vegetables were not lost to young people.

Seeing that Feng Zhaozhao and the housekeeper were eating well, Qian Fugui couldn't hold back, and picked up a small spoon to drink pork rib soup. This drink leaves all kinds of thoughts behind, and the umami of the sea is a delicious element that freshwater cannot match.

Lime took a sip of the soup, her eyes were shining, and she said with a big heart: "Miss is really amazing, she can eat seaweed with her eyes, and it tastes really good." ”

Qingping nodded and said with a smile: "I guessed for a while, the price of these ingredients will increase." ”

Lime smiled and said: "It's good to raise the price, Miss didn't say that the people on the seaside are suffering, and there are often fishermen who die in the belly of the fish." You can earn money by fishing for seaweed near the coast, without having to venture into the deep sea. ”

Sighing that the lime has a good heart, the lime looked at Feng Zhaozhao, who drank the soup elegantly, and thought that the second lady was also a kind person. understands the people's sufferings better than those eldest ladies with fine clothes and fine food, and it is rare that the second lady is willing to let the people make profits.

On this day, the Kokuni Mansion went up and down, and tasted a delicious soup, the pork rib soup is more popular than the seaweed soup, and of course, the small shrimp in the seaweed soup is also popular.

Qin Shu, who was dissatisfied with Qin Ershao's indiscriminate purchase, after eating a meal, no longer mentioned Qin Ershao's illegal sale of his grandfather's old things. It is a good thing that the soldiers at the border can taste the sea.

Outsiders don't know the deliciousness of a few ingredients, and after listening to all kinds of rumors, the people say that Qin Ershao is too much. Eating high-priced fruits by himself, the gifts given to the old man are worthless, and he will pretend to be a filial son.

Xu Kerong was dissatisfied with the criticism of Qin Ershao from the outside world, and had the heart to come forward to explain that he was stopped by Feng Zhaozhao and talked to him about a business.

"Your caravan can endure hardships, and you are not afraid to come to the capital to do business over the mountains and mountains. Why don't you run a little farther, how about going to the border pass, you have enough experience in traveling, I can trust it. ”

Boss Xu looked embarrassed, the road to the border was far away and the suffering was unknown, and the unknown road was not at ease.

Feng Zhaozhao promised: "Boss Xu, you drank kelp soup, don't you have any ideas." Boil kelp or seaweed in water and add a little salt to taste, you can also make a delicious soup. The few ingredients I need are easy to dry and store, so I can leave them for a few months. Why don't you understand that Lingnan is not backed by the sea. ”

Xu Kerong's mind flashed, and he had a sense of joy to see the bright moon through the dark clouds. Behind the mountains in Lingnan is the endless ocean, when I was a child, Boss Xu often went to the beach to play, and he had a deep affection for the blue sea.

"Qin Ershao, what do you mean? Let's buy seaweed and dried shrimp. ”

Feng Zhaozhao nodded happily and said with a smile: "I have the heart to let the soldiers at the border pass eat better, they have left their hometowns to guard the country, at least they should eat well." I can't afford to supply other good ingredients, I can afford shrimp and sea vegetables, Bihai Pavilion is backed by the Jiangnan family and looks down on small businesses, I want to find a reliable partner. ”

Feng Zhaozhao knew that the batch of goods sent by Bihai Pavilion was all about Qian Fugui's face. The Jiangnan family is a behemoth, and the Qian family does not need to give Qin Ershao face.
