Chapter 267: It's Called Tomatoes
Dong Xi returned to the imperial city the next day, two days faster than before, it can be said that he really used his fastest speed to go back and forth, Yue Qingming thanked him very much, and then asked him to go back to rest quickly, he was helping himself, and his martial arts were strong, but he couldn't be tired, there may still be a lot of places that need his help in the future.
After Dong Xi came back, Jiang Qianbai found Yue Qingming, and asked her with a smile if she could tell herself why she was so confident that she could open Mingyue Tower, Yue Qingming smiled and took him to his courtyard, pointed to the big boxes placed in the center of the courtyard, and said, "The things contained in there are the reason why I am so confident." ”
Jiang Qianbai followed Yue Qingming over, Yue Qingming opened one of the boxes, and then took out a big and round tomato and placed it in front of Jiang Qianbai's eyes, Jiang Qianbai looked at the thing in Yue Qingming's hand with some doubts, this thing looks a little peculiar, I haven't seen it before.
"What is this?" Jiang Qianbai asked Yue Qingming: "Why haven't I seen it before?" Is it OK to eat? ”
"Naturally, it can be eaten, and there are still many ways to eat it," Yue Qingming said with a smile, and then took Jiang Qianbai to sit at the table next to him, took out a knife to cut the tomatoes, and handed half of them to Jiang Qianbai, and then said, "You can taste this kind of thing first to see what it tastes like when eaten raw." ”
Seeing Yue Qingming's confident appearance, Jiang Qianbai also picked up the thing and put it in his mouth with curiosity and took a small bite, and then his eyes widened involuntarily, looking at Yue Qingming in disbelief, this thing looks a little peculiar, I didn't expect the taste to be something I have never tried before, like sweet, but there is a little bit of sourness, although it is the first time to eat, but after eating the first bite, I can't help but want to eat the second bite!
Jiang Qianbai looked at Yue Qingming with some surprise and asked, "What is this?" ”
"This thing is called tomatoes," Yue Qingming said with a smile: "The seeds of this thing were obtained by accident, and the growth period is not long, and it will soon grow ripe fruits, and the time when I came to the Imperial City is just right, these things are just ripe." Moreover, this thing can be eaten raw or used to cook, Jiang Qianbai, would you like to do me another favor? ”
Jiang Qianbai continued to bite the tomatoes, looked at Yue Qingming with his eyes, and said, "If you want me to help you, just say it directly, don't be so polite!" ”
As long as he gives him a few more tomatoes later, this kind of thing is really rare, and he is not tired at all after eating half of it, and he still wants to continue to eat it.
And this tomato tastes good when eaten raw, and I don't know what it will be like when it is made into a dish.
Yue Qingming looked at Jiang Qianbai with a smile, wanting to make her Mingyue Tower's reputation in the imperial city agitated, that is not something that can be done just by sitting here and explaining tomatoes to him, now it is natural to leave some mystery, tomorrow is the official opening day of Mingyue Tower, Jiang Qianbai will definitely attend at that time, in addition, Jiang Qiancheng also needs to appear together, and then the two princes in the imperial city will appear in their Mingyue Tower, The reputation of her Mingyue Tower will spread throughout the entire imperial city within a day.
Of course, the premise is that you still have to do a good job of publicity, and these tomatoes are just auxiliary.
After Yue Qingming told Jiang Qianbai about his arrangement, Jiang Qianbai said that he was willing to help her with this, and the matter of informing Jiang Qiancheng was naturally handed over to him, but in the end, when he left from Yue Qingming, he took three tomatoes with him.
Yue Qingming smiled and told him: "Tomatoes should be washed before eating, eat less, this can't be eaten as a meal!" ”
Jiang Qianbai waved his hand, indicating that he knew, but such a delicious thing must have two more to eat, anyway, this thing seems to be not full after eating, and when the time comes, you can still continue to eat other things when you are hungry, and it is not a big deal.
On the other hand, when Jiang Qiancheng received Jiang Qianbai's message that he was going to go to the Mingyue Building opened by Yue Qingming tomorrow, he was still a little surprised, he didn't know what Yue Qingming was going to do, he remembered that tomorrow was the day when Mingyue Tower opened, what did Yue Qingming do when he found both of them?
Then Jade returned to the Seven Kings' Mansion and stood in front of Jiang Qiancheng.
Jiang Qiancheng immediately asked her: "Jade, what has Yue Qingming been doing recently, why do you want to call me and Jiang Qianbai to her Mingyue Tower tomorrow?" ”
Jade was stunned for a moment, and then remembered what Yue Qingming told him, before Jiang Qiancheng went to Mingyue Tower tomorrow, she couldn't tell him what she was going to do, so Jade just shook her head at Jiang Qiancheng and said, "When you go to Mingyue Tower tomorrow, you will know what's going on, anyway, it's not a bad thing." ”
Jiang Qiancheng looked at Jade with some puzzlement, when did she actually listen to Yue Qingming's words like this? But if Jade didn't come back here to report on Yue Qingming, then what is she doing here now?
Seeing Jiang Qiancheng's eyes, Jade suddenly realized the purpose of her return, so she hurriedly said: "By the way, the fifth prince asked his subordinates to come back and report that the prince was busy dealing with the tasks assigned by His Majesty the Emperor recently, and it seems that he is also trying to win over the prime minister, so for the time being, there will be no time to take care of your affairs, so if you have to, you can complete all the things you have to do in the recent period, which can well avoid the eyes and ears of the prince." ”
Jiang Qiancheng nodded, he also knew that the prince was busy with other things, otherwise, with the prince's temper, he would definitely not hesitate to appear in front of him quickly to find trouble when the news of his return to the imperial city reached his ears, and he didn't show up for several days, which proved that he now has more important things to deal with than solving himself.
Did the emperor give him a task? And on the other hand, he is still wooing the prime minister...... What is this prince doing now, the prime minister is doing things according to the emperor's wishes, and so far he has not stood in the ranks of any prince, he wants to win over the prime minister at this time, should he be preparing for what he will do in the future?
It's still early, I didn't expect him to start waiting so soon!
