Zhao Xuanyi used a bag to load all the freshly made dehydrated vegetables, and then handed them to the purple kite, "Take it, this is the most important item to negotiate the price!" ”

"Negotiate the price?" Purple Kite didn't understand what Zhao Xuanyi meant, who did she negotiate with?

Zhao Xuanyi didn't explain, but turned his head to look at Shen Wei, "These utensils are not bad, you can go home and get the silver and send it directly to the attack and defense, and then book eighty more in case of emergency!" ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand!" Shen Wei smiled and nodded, today's historic scene, you should be happy!

"Also, buy a few catties of pork to improve the food of the soldiers who are busy working inside, and let them eat a meal of meat every three days in the future, so that the entire military camp knows that the person who gives me Zhao Xuanyi will definitely not suffer!"

"Understood!"

"If there is nothing else, I will go back to the capital first and meet my father-in-law!" Zhao Xuanyi said with a smile.

Shen Wei looked left and right, then stuck to Zhao Xuanyi's side and asked, "Isn't it time to show off the bargaining knife?" ”

"Understand me! You go first, and when you're done, go back to Piaoyun Pavilion directly! ”

"Yes, the young master is safe all the way!" Shen Wei said respectfully.

Zhao Xuanyi and Purple Kite left the barracks with a bag of dehydrated vegetables, and when they arrived at the General's Mansion, it was already after noon, and when they returned to the General's Mansion, all the guards saw Zhao Xuanyi and saluted, "Uncle is back!" ”

"Hmmm! Everyone has worked hard, is my father-in-law in the house? Zhao Xuanyi greeted with a smile.

"In! The old man is drinking tea in the front hall! ”

Zhao Xuanyi nodded, and then followed the purple kite into the general's mansion, and after coming to the front hall, he saw Li Yukun drinking tea with a depressed face, Zhao Xuanyi walked over with a smile, "Father-in-law." My son-in-law has said hello to you! Zhao Xuanyi knelt down after speaking.

Li Yukun glanced at Zhao Xuanyi with slanted eyes, and snorted coldly, "Hmph!" Do you still know to come back? Have you been happy living in your mansion these days? ”

Zhao Xuanyi understood at a glance, this Li Yukun was complaining that he had left the General's Mansion without permission, and he was angry, Zhao Xuanyi smiled and slowly stood up, "Father-in-law Rongyu, although this General's Mansion is good, but after all, there are many people and many things, and there are many things that the son-in-law can't spread his fists and feet, and it is not very convenient to do things!" ”

"Excuses!" Li Yukun glared at Zhao Xuanyi and shouted.

Zhao Xuanyi was not angry, and brought the cloth bag in Zi Kite's hand, "Father-in-law, don't be angry, my son-in-law is here to bring you a delicious meal today!" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he put the bag on Li Yukun's tea table!

Li Yukun glared at Zhao Xuanyi coldly, "Don't come with me, what delicacies haven't you eaten?" What are bribing me? ”

Zhao Xuanyi laughed: "How can it be a broken thing?" O you mountain eyes! Zhao Xuanyi said and opened the bag, and the dehydrated cabbage and dried radish inside looked broken.

Li Yukun frowned, picked it up and looked at it, "What is this?" ”

Zhao Xuanyi smiled and said nothing, "Purple kite, bring a basin of water!" ”

"Yes!" The purple kite turned around and went out, and after a while, a basin of clear water came, Zhao Xuanyi put all the dried vegetables in the water, leaving a few pieces in the bowl of noodles, "Father-in-law, this is the cabbage and radish I bought, but after a special method, they have become what they are now!" ”

Li Yukun picked up a vegetable leaf and looked at it, it seemed that he could still see the original appearance of all the ingredients, but how could he do this? When I put it in my mouth and bite it, it all turns into crumbs, and it doesn't taste very good. Li Yukun said bluntly.

Zhao Xuanyi laughed and fell down, "Father-in-law, this thing is not eaten like this!" Wait a minute! ”

Two quarters of an hour later, the vegetables had already soaked, and Zhao Xuanyi picked up the vegetables in the pot, "Father-in-law, look, this is what they look like!" ”

Li Yukun came closer, picked up a piece of radish and looked at it, his eyes showed a surprised look, "This...... What's going on? "The vegetables that used to be dried have now changed back to their original appearance, but the shape has become a little distorted!

"Don't worry, father-in-law, let's talk slowly! Sister Purple Kite, take these vegetables to the room, make me two dishes and one soup, a cabbage fried meat, a cabbage super radish, and a radish soup! Just so I was hungry! Zhao Xuanyi said.

"Yes!" The purple kite took the basin and left.

There was not much time, two dishes and one soup were served, and a few bowls of white rice were served, "Father-in-law, let's eat some together?" Eating and chatting? ”

Li Yukun looked at the dish that had just been made, wasn't this the vegetable that Zhao Xuanyi brought? After the two of them, Li Yukun picked up the vegetables and put them in his mouth and took a bite, the fragrance and sweetness of the green vegetables instantly filled the entire mouth, and Li Yukun showed a satisfied expression.

Zhao Xuanyi took the opportunity to say, "The son-in-law used a special method to turn the vegetables into this way, so that they are not afraid of drying, even if they are exposed to the sun, there will be no accidents, especially in the cold winter, no matter how it freezes, it will not be damaged, as long as it is not soaked by rain, it is not a problem to put it indoors and store it for three or five years, so that even in winter, it is very convenient to supply it to the soldiers at the border gate!" ”

After hearing this, Li Yukun put down his chopsticks, looked at Zhao Xuanyi with excited eyes, and gently patted Zhao Xuanyi's shoulder with his big hand, "Son-in-law, do you know what you did?" ”

"Huh? What's the matter? Zhao Xuanyi put down his chopsticks and asked.

Li Yukun sighed, looked at the dishes on the table, and looked proud, "From the Spring and Autumn Period to the modern era, after thousands of years of changes, the change of dynasties, there has never been a military camp that can eat vegetables in winter, you have created a miracle!" ”

Zhao Xuanyi was a little embarrassed to be praised, and gently scratched his hair, "Is it so powerful?" ”

"The surprises you bring to your father-in-law are endless! So、How many of these vegetables do you interrupt to make? Li Yukun asked.

"Originally, I wanted to harvest all the vegetables in Haitang Town and make this kind of vegetables for the winter, but I don't feel very enough, our own army has 180,000 people, so I have asked my subordinates to go to other provincial cities to see where the vegetables are cheap, buy them all, and then make them all!"

After Li Yukun heard this, he couldn't help but nod, "It's still my son-in-law who is smart, in this way, the barracks give you full authority to use, so the warehouse is dispatched at will, and if there is no place to store it, it will be placed in the barracks warehouse, and if you can do as much as you can, if it is not enough, I will immediately set up a warehouse!" Be sure to store more! ”

"Yes! That...... Father-in-law, do you still have an appetite for eating my vegetables? Zhao Xuanyi asked with a smile.

"Not bad! If you can eat this in winter, you won't change it for a fairy! Hahaha! Li Yukun said with a smile.

Zhao Xuanyi saw that Li Yukun was so happy, and he no longer concealed it, showing his fangs, "Father-in-law, what ......is it?" Let's talk about the price! ”

"Talk about the price? What price to negotiate? Li Yukun asked.

"You see, I bought this vegetable with my own money, and I made it myself, you just provided the venue, and my son-in-law accepted your affection! But you can't let my efforts go to waste, can you? Didn't I get this money from the wind? You see winter, how much do you buy this dish? ”

Li Yukun looked at Zhao Xuanyi, although his current face was very bad, but Li Yukun was extremely happy, "Hahaha!" You're really going to find the right time to open your mouth! But you've done a great job! Every year, the military salary sown by the imperial court is not to buy those pickles, but to buy your vegetables! But son-in-law, don't worry, let's talk about it when the court gives the military salary! ”

"Wait, I know that in the military salary given by the imperial court for winter every year, the food cost is about 200,000 taels, you are not reluctant to spend money, right?" Zhao Xuanyi asked with a smile.

Li Yukun made a straight face when he heard this, "Son-in-law, you're wrong, it's true that there are more than 200,000 taels, but I can't buy all the vegetables?" Without rice, all my soldiers will starve to death? ”

"Naturally! And I don't plan to make so many vegetables, and I may not be able to put them in the barracks, but father-in-law, we are in business, and my price will definitely satisfy you! Zhao Xuanyi said with a smile.

Li Yukun's face was full of doubts: "Oh? Tell me about it! ”

"Father-in-law, settle accounts! For a tael of silver, I'll give you eight catties of vegetables! ...... me? ”

Before Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, Li Yukun took the case [Smack! The wine glasses on the table were all knocked down, and the purple kite on the side saw that Li Yukun was so angry that he hurriedly knelt on the ground in fright!

Li Yukun stood up, his eyes glared like copper bells, "My son-in-law, do you really think your father-in-law is stupid?" A cabbage outside is up to six copper coins, even in the cold winter, a cabbage is only a dozen copper coins, one or two silver for a thousand copper plates, you sell me eight catties for one or two silver? Are you really so good at fooling me? ”

Zhao Xuanyi was also frightened by Li Yukun's anger, and hurriedly stood up and smiled, "Father-in-law, why are you angry?" Have you ever calculated the profit in between? ”

"What profit?"

Zhao Xuanyi pointed to the vegetables on the table, "Father-in-law, do you know that I have a pound of dried vegetables, but I have five catties of vegetables, and without water, how many taels do you think there are left?" And as you have just seen, after soaking my dried vegetables, I can produce at least five to six catties! ”

"Let's calculate that every catty of dried vegetables can be soaked in five catties, and my eight catties of dried vegetables can become forty catties! You have 40 copper plates for 1,000 pounds, and I only sell you 20 copper plates per catty of vegetables, of course! That's a lot of money in the season! ”

"But have you ever thought that my vegetables can be stored for a long time, not afraid of the cold winter and heat, not afraid of seasonal replacement, as long as the water can be used, it takes a month to transport the border from the capital, are you sending frozen vegetables in the cold winter, or sending rotten vegetables in the hot summer? No matter how much you send, do we want to ensure that the vegetables can be eaten at the border? You tell me? ”

Zhao Xuanyi's speech in the textbook shocked Li Yukun, this is true, no matter what season it is, it is a problem to eat vegetables at the border, and you can still eat all frozen pork in winter, and vegetables are in short supply all year round!

Thinking of this, Li Yukun had no words, sat down slowly, and began to think seriously!

Zhao Xuanyi saw that Li Yukun was no longer angry, and a smile appeared on his face, "There is one more thing!" Father-in-law, do you dare to say that our barracks are full of loyal people? If someone tells us about our vegetables in the winter, don't you want to try the fresh vegetables in other soldiers? ”

"Let's not say how many soldiers will defect to our legion, even if you sell the vegetables you buy to other armies, the profit in between...... Of course, I sold you one tael of silver and eight catties, as for how much you sold to other armies? You say it! After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he showed a treacherous expression!
