In the eyes of Luxi, compared to the high-yield crop artichoke with a yield of thousands of catties per mu, the jar of chili sauce in front of him is more attractive. This time, without waiting for Gu Yunji's introduction, she took the initiative to ask about the origin of chili peppers, growth habits, etc., and did not forget to say at the end: "When Master Gu gives me chili seeds in the future, don't forget to give me a copy of the recipe for this chili sauce." ”

Gu Yunji explained: "Pepper seeds are no problem, I originally wanted to promote peppers and artichokes together. But I want to sell the chili sauce, and since I want to sell it, it is impossible to leak the recipe at will, so please forgive me. ”

Yu Xi didn't care, and waved his hand quite arrogantly: "That's okay, I'll give the money!" Master Gu, just like this, bring me a thousand cans of chili sauce first, and I can distribute it to the people below to taste. ”

Gu Yunji was amused by her wealthy appearance: "Don't worry, Xuanfu envoy, I can't sell you chili sauce for the time being." ”

Yu Xi was puzzled: "Why? But worried I can't afford to pay? Master Gu rest assured, I am a toast in the west, and I will not owe you money, and I can pay the deposit first. ”

Gu Yunji laughed when he heard this, and said helplessly: "I don't doubt the financial resources of the Xuanfu envoy, it's just that our store hasn't opened yet, and the chili sauce has only been tried out in a small part, and mass production has not yet begun." Even if the Xuanfu envoy wants to buy it, we don't have to sell it. ”

Extravagant Xi was instantly deflated, and in disappointment, he complained about Gu Yunji: "Lord Gu is a dignified judge, how to do a business is still grinding and chirping, and the action is so slow, I can't buy it if I want to." ”

The area under the jurisdiction of Yongning Xuanfu Division is mountainous and rugged, and the Yi people are not good at farming, so the grain production is low, and the food culture is naturally not as diverse as that of the Han people.

Luxury Xigui is a toast, and the food and clothing are the best in the Xuanfu Division, but I have never eaten such a spicy and appetizing chili sauce with rich taste. She liked it as soon as she tasted it, and she couldn't wait to use it to accompany her meal, but now she was disappointed to learn that she couldn't buy it for the time being.

Gu Yunji couldn't cry or laugh: "If the Xuanfu envoy really likes it, when the matter of the scattered Yi people is solved in the future, I can free my hands to produce chili sauce in large quantities, and when the time comes, I can directly send hundreds of cans over, and I don't need the Xuanfu envoy to spend money to buy it." ”

Yu Xi heard his voice, raised his eyebrows and said: "Take care of the adults, if I don't restrain those scattered Yi people, Lord Gu won't send chili sauce?" ”

Gu Yunji suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth and pretended to say: "This was said by the Xuanfu envoy, I didn't say it." ”

"Can't you see that Master Gu will also 'threaten' people?"

"It's just a trivial matter of a few cans of chili sauce, but it can't be called a threat, not to mention that even if I don't send it, Xuanfu has a lot of money in his hands, and he can still spend money to buy it."

"If I don't solve the matter of the scattered Yi people, will Master Gu sell it to me?"

"Why don't you sell it? Isn't it a fool not to make money if you have money. Gu Yunji took it for granted, and his eyes flashed with urgency, "It's just that whether the price will be high or low at that time, it is unknown." ”

Hearing this, Yu Xi was so happy that he almost laughed and bent over: "I didn't expect that Master Gu is such a serious and upright person, and he is actually very good at joking." ”

Gu Yunji put away the ridicule and smiled gently: "It's nothing more than a casual chat, just a couple of jokes with Xuanfu." Although it will not be possible to produce chili sauce in large quantities for a while, there are plenty of chili seeds, and in two days I will send someone to teach the Xuanfu envoy how to grow artichoke. ”

"Chili peppers are not only used as sauce, they can be used for cooking, seasoning, and even medicine, which has the effect of removing moisture and promoting digestion. What are the specific effects of eating, Xuanfu can be slowly explored when the time comes. ”

After chatting about official and private matters, the sky gradually darkened, and Yu Xi said: "It's not early, Lord Gu is tired from the journey, so let's go to eat and rest early." ”

Gu Yunji responded, and after saluting her and An Bin, he followed the attendant to the guest room prepared in advance.

Smelling the aroma of chili sauce, An Bin's saliva was about to flood into the sea, as soon as Gu Yunji left, she couldn't wait to pick up some and put them in her mouth to taste, when even her eyes lit up: "Wow! It's so fragrant and spicy! Hurry up, get some biscuits, that's all I'll have for dinner today! ”

Before Luxi became a toast, An Bin had already met her, and the two had a good relationship, fashionable in front of outsiders and would take care of identity etiquette, but in private they were not so particular, and they got along as they liked, like sisters.

Seeing An Bin gobbling up, Yu Xi knocked on the table in front of her, and said helplessly: "You are now the deputy envoy of the court, the official of the court from the fifth grade, not the little maid before, can you pay attention to your image?" ”

An Bin didn't care, the cake stuffed his cheeks bulging, and said vaguely: "...... I pay attention to my image, when Gu Yunji was there just now, didn't I behave very well, and I didn't embarrass you. ”

"Are you embarrassed?" Yu Xi laughed angrily and reached out to pluck her ear, "I just went to count the tax accounts, what did you arrange as a result?" 'Choosing a husband' and 'accepting a male pet', did you say it? ”

"Ouch!" An Bin was in pain, rubbed his ears, and showed a flattering smile, "It's that I'm right, but I'm not easy to be shy when I see Gu Yunji don't talk much, and I feel that I won't be angry when I say anything, so I'm joking with him." ”

Yu Xi didn't know what to say about her, and poked her head: "Do you think Gu Yunji has no temper?" People are too lazy to bother with you. Didn't you see that when I belittled the Xuzhou Mansion later, his face was not good-looking? In the end, is the person that His Majesty values, do you really think he is easy to bully? ”

"I see what Your Majesty means, he wants to temper Gu Yunji well, and he will definitely be entrusted with important tasks in the future, otherwise he won't ask me what his current state is."

Speaking of this, Yu Xi groaned: "However, I look at it today, although Gu Yunji has some sharp edges and corners of a young man, he is quite calm. Neither self-pity for being degraded to the southwest, nor self-esteem and arrogance, but also very protective of the Xuzhou Mansion in his words, as if he really had a sense of belonging there, which is rare. ”

"I'm afraid that even His Majesty thinks that Gu Yunji is here to gild, but what kind of high-yield crops he has made himself, if this can really be promoted successfully, I am afraid that he will have to add a good sum to the political performance book. When the time comes, he doesn't need his elders to whitewash him, he will still be able to have a smooth official career. ”

"Abin, you want me to ...... Ay! How are you almost finished! ”

Yuxi talked to himself alone for a long time, and after not seeing An Bin answer for a long time, he turned around and was about to talk to her, but found that in just a while, An Bin had already eaten most of a jar of chili sauce.

When he was found stealing, An Bin didn't have time to speak, and while stuffing the cake into his mouth, in order to avoid being "settled", he simply picked up the jar and ran, so angry that he stomped his feet behind and shouted:

"Don't eat alone! Leave me some! ”
