And at the time of the old lady, there was a shortage of grain and grass, and it was really in the gap of training, and he opened up a piece of land in the barracks to grow food, although this is not the case now, but this pepper is a good thing, can he also tell the emperor to plant a little in the barracks?

I didn't have this idea before, but now that I have thought of this layer, the Protector Marquis turned around and sat at the table a little impatiently, picked up the pen and began to write an excerpt: "This idea is good, I will enter the palace later, how long will it take for the peppers to be harvested?" ”

"It can be harvested in three months, and if it is picked in a short period of time, peppers will continue to grow on the plants."

The Protector asked a few more basic questions, which quickened the speed in his hand.

After writing the excerpt, the Marquis of Huguo got up: "Zichuan, I'll go to the palace first, and you will talk to your mother later." ”

Meng Wei was right, the Protector was in a good mood when he came back in the evening, and obviously the troubles were solved.

It's just that it was too late at that time, and Meng Wei also heard a few people in the kitchen relay.

After listening to this gossip, she was called by the little maid again, saying that the Marquis of the Protector was looking for her, but the place was Si'enju.

When Meng Wei arrived, it was rare for the four masters in the mansion to gather, especially the old lady, her eyes lit up when she came: "Xiaowei, you have made a meritorious contribution this time, what reward do you want?" ”

"Meritorious?"

"yes, you have a lot of chili peppers?"

"A lot," Meng Wei thought about the amount Xu Zhen told her last time, and then removed the amount that Xiangyunlou would use before the next pepper harvest, and conservatively estimated: "There are probably nearly six hundred catties." ”

Chili peppers are originally intended to enhance the flavor, and people who have never eaten chili peppers can add one or two rice peppers to a dish, even in a crowded place like a military camp, it is impossible to eat chili peppers as a dish.

The Protector said: "The court wants to buy it, how are you going to sell it?" ”

Meng Wei thought for a while and said with a smile: "Those chili peppers are actually not very valuable, and the slave maid asked people to help plant them, but they just wanted to wait until the number of chili peppers is large, and they can be spread, just like onions, ginger and garlic, so that more people can know and use them." And the slave maid is too young, this kind of credit should not be counted on the slave maid, if there is no appreciation of the little marquis, the slave and maid will not have the opportunity to contact the chili peppers, so the slave maid wants to ask the marquis to donate the 600 catties of chili peppers to the military camp in the name of the Hou Mansion of the Protector of the country, and he will not take a penny. ”

The Protector didn't expect Meng Wei to be so generous, but after all, he has experienced a lot of things, and when he heard Meng Wei say this, he also understood that the credit is indeed there, but when the time comes, it will be known by others, and people who want to come to this mansion will look at Meng Wei differently in the future.

Whether you think she is powerful, or you want to get almost advantage from her, in short, this kind of thing is definitely possible, and the number of people will not be small.

"Since you have asked for so, I will promise you, but there will still be a reward that deserves, and I will have someone send it to you later."

"The slave and maid thanked the Hou Ye first."

She does not refuse to come to the money, but she is not ready to sell the chili pepper for a few taels of silver or dozens of taels of silver, she sells it to the Houguo Mansion and sells it to Xiangyunlou at the same price, fifty wen a catty, that is to say, six hundred catties of chili pepper, it is only thirty taels of silver.

In Meng Wei's opinion, this is a small amount of money, but if she gets silver, she will get two taels of silver, but she doesn't want the thirty taels, but she can invisibly let the Protector Mansion accept her favor.

Then Meng Wei went back to the house and took a warm glove that Zhen'er had sewn in her spare time and prepared to go out of the Protector's Mansion, and went directly to Xiangyun Building to find Xu Zhen, because those chili peppers were originally planted in the back mountain contracted by his family, and those chili peppers were still stored in Xu Zhen's family's warehouse.

When Ye Zichuan learned that Meng Wei was going out, he also got up and said: "It's just right, the snow has melted in the past few days, and I haven't been out of the house for a while. ”

So, a one-person walk became a threesome.

When they went, it was almost noon, and if it had been before, there would have been fewer people going out to eat in the winter than before, but this time, it was unexpectedly full.

At least Meng Wei looked around, the hall on the first floor of Xiangyun Building was full of people, there was no spare table, and there were many people standing outside the door with their heads stretched out and looked around, swallowing their saliva from time to time.

"Shopkeeper, is there a private room?"

Fang Yuan spoke up, and the shopkeeper couldn't help but greet him with a happy face: "The little marquis is here, please sit down quickly, it just so happens that the prince of Chu and the fourth prince are in the bamboo private room today, I will take the little marquis there." ”

The shopkeeper smiled at Meng Wei, and then spontaneously led the way in front, and when he went up the stairs, he thanked him in a whisper without looking back: "Xiangyunlou can have such a good business in this winter, I have to thank the little marquis and Miss Meng, otherwise I am afraid that the business will be as bleak as before." ”

Ye Zichuan hooked the corners of his lips, and said 'um' without modesty, before saying: "You are indeed lucky to meet me, if it is not for me, you are afraid that this Xiangyunlou will not have so many tricks, and I don't want you to thank you, just add two pots of osmanthus brew later." ”

The reason why Xiangyunlou has become the largest restaurant in the capital is that in addition to the good taste of the dishes, the most important point is that Xiangyunlou will launch four seasonal drinks a year, such as peach blossom wine in spring, bamboo wine in summer, osmanthus wine in autumn, and plum wine in winter.

It's just that there is no bamboo wine brewed this year, and the plum blossoms have only bloomed a little, and it has not yet reached the point where the branches are full, so it will start brewing after a while, so in addition to the wine that can be usually drunk, the most popular wine is osmanthus brewing.

Meng Wei was also a little curious about what the osmanthus brewed in Xiangyunlou tasted, in fact, she could brew it herself, and she really tried to brew it a little secretly, and the taste was good, which made her regret that she only brewed a little.

However, the osmanthus has already fallen, and no matter how regretful it is, it can only be brewed next year.

The shopkeeper couldn't see his expression clearly when he turned his back on their backs, only saw the shopkeeper's body paused, then raised his sleeve and wiped his head, and nodded: "It must be, but in addition to the four princes and the prince of Chu, there is one other person in this private room I don't know." ”

Coincidentally, several people paused at the door, and Ye Zichuan didn't move the hand he wanted to stretch out: "What does it look like?" How old is it? Do you hear what to call it? ”

Ye Zichuan thought in his mind who would be the person who could get to know Chu Jingfeng and his cousin and invite them to wear, Qian Maotong was one of the few friends they recognized, although the time spent together was not much, but it was a lot, but the shopkeeper knew Qian Maotong, so who was that person?

"That person is a bit old, about early forties, he looks like an elder, and Chu Gongzi doesn't have the hip-hop he used to have, he is very serious, and I heard Chu Gongzi call that person Master Huang.".
