"A plate of small greens costs ten taels of silver?!"

"Twelve taels of leeks?!"

"A plate of cold cucumbers costs twenty taels!?"

"Why don't you go and grab it?!"

The entire hall on the first floor was boiling, and everyone could not accept such a price, and they all reprimanded the asking price for being too dark.

This scene was expected by Li Changfeng, and he had already arranged a countermeasure, and after everyone discussed for a while, the shopkeeper walked out in time.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Ladies and gentlemen! Listen to me! ”

The shopkeeper shouted again and again, and when the scene was quiet and everyone looked at him, he arched his hand and continued to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen! I know it's expensive, but it's expensive, and it's never too late for everyone to judge after listening to me! ”

As soon as the voice fell, someone at the scene spoke.

"Okay, let's talk about it, why is this plate of small greens so expensive!"

"Yes, don't be fools for us, you can be slaughtered!"

"The price is outrageous!"

The shopkeeper patiently listened to the complaints of the crowd, and when the scene was quiet again, he slowly spoke with a smile on his face.

"Let me start with the first point, in the late summer and early autumn, the Nine Emperor Princes have heard of a large number of recruitments, right?"

Everyone nodded.

This incident was spread in the capital at that time, saying that Li Changfeng recruited people to grow vegetables in winter, which attracted a burst of ridicule from everyone, which was the biggest joke of the year.

It is said that hundreds of people have been recruited, and the treatment is not bad.

Seeing everyone nodding, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "In order to grow vegetables in winter, His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes recruited a full eight hundred and seventy-three people!" ”

The expressions of the crowd moved slightly, this number is indeed amazing.

The shopkeeper continued: "Presumably someone has seen the vegetable planting base from afar, and seen rows of neat houses, do you think it is inhabited? Wrong! These are the ones that grow! ”

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper's voice raised a lot, and he said loudly: "That house is better than the homes of ordinary people, and it doesn't cost money to build so many greenhouses?" ”

"If you want to grow vegetables in winter, you must keep the temperature in the house like summer, and there are special people who take turns to burn charcoal to keep the temperature in twelve hours, and you are also burning carbon for heating in your own home, do you think about the cost of this is big?"

"These vegetables are nothing in the summer, they can grow no matter what, but in the winter, they have to be taken care of like a newborn baby, and more than 800 people don't need to spend money to take care of them?"

"Do you know how many times you have failed in order to grow vegetables in the winter, and how much time you have wasted, seeds, manpower, and material resources, and these are not silver?"

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper paused, raised his voice a lot, and said proudly: "Besides, looking at the world, who can grow so many green vegetables in winter?" This was originally planted for the royal family, not everyone is qualified to eat, but now because the production is still okay, it is sold in limited quantities, do you still think it is not worth the price? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was speechless.

Li Changfeng's recruitment is known to the world.

The vast majority of people have seen the houses built to grow vegetables from afar.

As for the issue of keeping warm, you don't have to think about it, it must be true, otherwise the vegetables would have frozen to death.

This thing wants to be grown in the winter, and no one doubts that it has to be cared for like a baby.

Plus the wasted, everyone calculated it, it seems that it is indeed worth the price!

And it's for royalty!

It would be a great honor to be able to eat tribute!

After thinking for a moment, someone immediately made a statement.

"So, it's not too expensive."

"It's such a reason, scarcity is expensive, this thing is not worth much in the summer, and it is understandable that it is worth in the winter."

"Okay, why don't you taste the vegetables in the oven today, what kind of smell it is!"

"Give me a portion of all the vegetables!"

"Here's a copy too!"

Seeing that everyone accepted the price, the shopkeeper smiled with satisfaction, and the beautiful waitresses began to introduce the guests.

Soon, one by one red soup pots, mandarin duck pots, and clear soup pots were served, and everyone was stunned by their unique fragrance and peculiar way of eating.

……

Private room on the third floor.

Li Changfeng, Emperor Qianwu, and Li Jianye sat around a round table, and plates of fresh vegetables had already been served.

Emperor Qianwu pointed to the stove in the middle of the table and sighed in amazement.

"Freshly cooked?"

"Yes, to be precise, it's called shabu, or hot."

Li Changfeng explained, and waved his hand vigorously towards Gao: "Old Gao, what are you doing standing?" Come and sit down and get ready to eat! ”

Gao Dali cast a grateful look, shook his head and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness, the old slave is serving in a plate." ”

"Whew!" Li Changfeng sighed and looked at Emperor Qianwu: "Father, what are you doing with so many rules for eating a meal?" It's all old acquaintances, how awkward is it for us to eat him and watch? ”

Emperor Qianwu couldn't help but glance at Li Changfeng.

What's so awkward about that?

He usually eats in the palace, and there are hundreds of people standing and waiting.

Still, he nodded.

"Okay, Lao Gao, let's sit down and eat together, it's not the first time anyway."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Gao Li bowed and sat down, Li Jianye urged impatiently: "What about the pot?" Serve the pot! I get tired of eating dried Chinese cabbage every day! ”

Li Changfeng joked: "Brother Jiu opened, you didn't even come empty-handed with red envelopes, are you embarrassed to eat?" ”

"Who says no?" Li Jianye smiled, took out a silver ticket and handed it over, "I can't take out 108,000 yuan, 1,000 taels, don't forget it!" ”

"Hey, you really brought a red envelope?"

Li Changfeng was a little surprised, took the silver ticket and looked at it, then looked at Emperor Qianwu and winked: "Father? ”

Emperor Qianwu was a little embarrassed, and he glared: "You still want my red envelope?" ”

Li Changfeng was not afraid, and said suspiciously: "Father, you won't come empty-handed to eat for nothing, right?" ”

"You ......"

Emperor Qianwu pointed at Li Changfeng and was speechless, Li Jianye snickered, and Gao Dali hurriedly took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve.

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty's golden body, how can you catch the smell of copper? It's in the old slave's place! ”

As he spoke, he handed it to Li Changfeng.

Li Changfeng waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, just kidding, what kind of red envelopes do your family want?" ”

Saying that, he returned Li Jianye's share, and waved his big hand and said: "Jianye, Lao Gao, in the future, you will come to my lake bottom to eat, free of charge!" ”

"Stinky boy, it's nonsense!"

Although Emperor Qianwu was scolding, the smile on his face could not be concealed.

This relaxed and happy way of getting along is like a family, which makes him feel the feeling of being a real father.

Li Changfeng is like a naughty child, and the more he looks at it, the more he likes it.
