When Ruyi came back to Mingyue Tower from the back door with the remaining tomatoes, Yue Qingming was standing in the courtyard, she was holding the pen and paper in her hand and gesturing something to those empty places, and then recorded it on the paper she was holding in her hand.

Dong Xi came back with Ruyi, because there were only some bare tomato seedlings left in that field, and all the ripe fruits had been picked back here, so Dong Xi felt that there was no point in staying there now, so he let the guards guard there in batches, and he came back here.

Of course, he came back here not because he had something important to find Yue Qingming, but because he really didn't sleep well in that wild place, so he came back here to make up for sleep, and told Yue Qingming that he was going to stay in Mingyue Tower for the past few days, and then went back to his own room to rest.

Yue Qingming naturally agreed, after all, Dong Xi had worked hard to guard those tomatoes for himself during this time, as for the guards who were still guarding there now, they still needed to stay there for the time being to help watch those tomato seedlings, lest someone go over and steal those tomato seedlings, in addition, when the next batch of plants were planted, a group of people would be replaced, and they could also go home to rest at that time.

And when Yue Qingming and Ruyi were counting the tomatoes in the yard, Gu Shun happened to be lazy to come to the yard to rest, and when he saw the big boxes full of tomatoes in the yard, his eyes lit up, and he ran over with joy and excitement, and stood directly in front of Yue Qingming, looking at those tomatoes, he felt that he was about to start drooling.

Yue Qingming looked at Gu Shun and looked like he wanted to eat these tomatoes, so he said to Gu Shun: "Didn't you say before that you wanted to order a box of tomatoes to bring back to your family, now I can book it for you in advance, bring the money, and you can take the tomatoes home." ”

"Really? Now?! ”

"Of course, aren't all these tomatoes in front of you?" Yue Qingming said with a smile: "But the box you use to hold tomatoes needs to be brought by yourself, and the boxes in our Mingyue Building are not enough, so we have to keep them for other things, I hope you will forgive me." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I have a lot of boxes at home, so you keep one for me, I'll go back and bring the silver and boxes here now, but don't sell them to others!"

Then Gu Shun really ran back happily, he originally thought that it would be a little difficult to order a whole box of tomatoes here in Yue Qingming, but he didn't expect Yue Qingming to be so easy to talk to, of course, Gu Shun didn't feel that it was because he was pleasing in front of Yue Qingming, but because there was a Jiang Qiancheng between them, and Yue Qingming gave Jiang Qiancheng face, so he was naturally willing to be slightly better to himself, provided that he didn't step on Yue Qingming's bottom line, and other things were easy to discuss.

Seeing that Gu Shun really ran away, Yue Qingming shook his head with a smile, and then continued to count the number of tomatoes, making sure to finish counting all the tomatoes before Gu Shun came here with his things.

Almost half an hour later, Yue Qingming and Ruyi respectively counted the part they were responsible for, and the final amount was still more than Yue Qingming imagined, it seems that her current return is not only double, but also make a lot of money, after all, she still has another plan, not only to sell these tomatoes to these people in the imperial city, she also wants to let the food in her Mingyue Tower pass into the palace, and the people in it are all rich people, As long as they find it delicious, they will not be stingy with spending money on these things.

So Yue Qingming took out a box and came out, just right to put thirty tomatoes in it, and then let people send it to the mansion of the fifth prince Jiang Qianbai, the box still had a letter attached to it, which was prepared by Yue Qingming before, as long as Jiang Qianbai was willing to help, his plan could naturally be carried out successfully this time.

And Jiang Qianbai couldn't help but show some smiles on her face when she saw those ripe tomatoes and the letter that Yue Qingming had put in that box, it seemed that her worries about Yue Qingming were still a little superfluous, she was now very well arranged in the imperial city how to expand the scope of Mingyue Tower, and this first step was to need her own help.

So Jiang Qianbai took out the ten tomatoes in the box, and then took the remaining tomatoes into the palace to meet the queen mother, and the queen mother was a little surprised when she learned that Jiang Qianbai actually took the initiative to ask to see her, of course, she would not refuse to see Jiang Qianbai, but let people immediately bring him into her bedroom.

When she saw Jiang Qianbai appearing with a box, the queen's eyes were a little surprised, so she asked him, "What is in the box?" ”

"It's a gift for you," Jiang Qianbai put the box on the table, and then said, "Let someone go and prepare a basin of water, a knife, a bowl, and some sugar." ”

Although the queen didn't understand what Jiang Qianbai was going to do now, she still asked people to prepare what he wanted immediately, and when she was free, Jiang Qianbai took out the tomatoes in the box and placed them neatly on the table in front of the queen mother.

"What is this?" The queen looked at him with some puzzlement, stretched out her hand to touch the tomatoes, and asked: "These things look like they should be edible, but this palace doesn't seem to have seen this kind of thing before, what is this?" ”

"This thing is called tomatoes, a friend of mine brought it back, she is now opening a restaurant in the imperial city, these things are harvested, so she gave me some, you try it, whether it is delicious."

After the palace maids prepared all those things, Jiang Qianbai washed the tomatoes in clean water, and then cut the tomatoes into pieces and put them in a bowl according to the method taught to him by Yue Qingming before, and then sprinkled some white sugar on top, and finally handed the bowl to the queen mother.

Looking at the queen's mother's somewhat puzzled eyes, Jiang Qianbai said lightly: "Now this tomato needs two coins of silver to buy one in the imperial city, and it is only supplied in limited quantities in Mingyue Tower every day, and only ten are left in my house, and the rest are here for you, don't you think I'm teasing you with such a rare thing, right?" ”
