"Well, it's still the original recipe, and it's still a familiar taste."

"Of course it's the original recipe. Originally, there was only Fufu to eat, and if Fufu didn't eat it if he changed the recipe, then he didn't have to do it at all. ”

Sitting next to Fufu's inner room, Shang Luo also finished eating a fist-sized nest.

"Anyway, it turned out that there was only Fufu to eat before? So what do other bears eat? ”

"We prepared other snacks. In addition to the chef, there are bamboo shoots as a staple food such as fruits. Anyway, pandas don't eat meat, and if they don't eat meat, they won't be able to spend a few dollars, so it's good to provide a little more different types of fruits. In addition, there are many pandas who love to eat pumpkins. ”

"Oh yes, there's pumpkins."

"You know what? I thought there weren't many people who knew. Pandas are quite suitable for eating pumpkin because there is fiber in it, which can promote the digestion of pandas. In addition, although there is sugar, the sugar content is moderate, and eating a lot will not exceed the recommended intake. And sometimes, animal mood is also a welfare that needs to be taken care of, and it is not a big problem to eat a little more sugar. ”

"It's good to be a panda." Shang Luo sighed, "Every day, as long as you sit there, someone will come and deliver something to eat. ”

"I think you're about the same, right? Didn't you sit there and someone came to give you exercises? ”

"That's exactly what I used to think. But after meeting Daozu some time ago, I knew that Daozu meant that he was raising swords, and he was counting on me to come in handy at that time, but it wasn't for nothing. It's you, are you also sitting there and someone will deliver food? ”

"Me? Ah yes, indeed. Although it is said that it is going to be a 'show' or something, it is much busier than that of pandas. However, I have a very clear understanding of what I do – and my work is nothing compared to the people who actually work. So you see I'm not doing an internship? In the future I will try to support myself. ”

"Is it enough to have pandas?"

"Enough, the wages of the Imperial Garden are very good, and it is no problem to support yourself. Well, unless"

"Unless what?"

"Unless." She shook her head, "Actually, you see, I eat the money of the imperial court, but I don't want to go psychologically." I'm actually very lazy, if I can eat the court's money with peace of mind, then I'll eat it. Anyway, the elders eat a lot more than me. Not one more than me. ”

"That's true. So how can you have peace of mind? ”

"It's okay to just treat the princess as a career plan, and the breeder can be part-time."

"Good fellow, princess is also a profession, isn't it?"

"Count. A full-time princess is not the same as a part-time princess. If pandas are also divided into full-time pandas and part-time pandas, then part-time pandas should only come to the zoo to eat bamboo during working hours, and do what they should do when they go back after work. For example, there are full-time monks and part-time monks. ”

"Indeed. There are part-time monks. What does a part-time princess do? ”

"It's just a name, not fulfilling royal responsibilities, and not taking money. That's the case with my aunt, she has her own property out there – because to be honest, there's just so much going on. If they have a way to make money, many people will choose to leave. ”

"Then do you have any princes in your family who would be part-time princes?"

"Yes, after all, you also know the rules of the old Zhu family, the royal family is not allowed to participate in politics, and you can't touch the slightest. The work of the prince was also ceremonial, social, and tedious. It's not the year of Hongwu now, it's not about taking money directly, it's about taking Lu coupons, and the amount is very small. ”

"Lu coupons? What's that?"

"A state bond to be paid indefinitely, which is used to replace the former fiefdoms. In the past, whether it was a prince or a princess, they all had their own food estates. There are also gone, only Lu coupons. Like me, because I am the eldest princess, I should be able to get about 50,000 taels of coupons when I am 20 years old, and then get 3% interest every year, which is 1,500 taels. Then deduct 75% of the interest tax, and the amount in hand is about 800 taels, which is about thirty-four per month. ”

"That's it? I thought that the royal family could take a lot of money, how could it be about the same as salary? ”

"That's a lot, after all, it's paid unconditionally. And if you are really short of money, you can sell it, and the Lu bond is negotiable as a bond that can be redeemed indefinitely, and it is quite popular in the market. In addition, although the cost of thirty or forty in Beijing is still too little, if you find an additional job, 10 taels plus salary money, which is quite good. If it's about 50 taels a month, you can live well even in the capital. ”

"Wait." Shang Luo asked her, "Do you lack some awareness of the consumption of daily expenses to maintain yourself?" ”

"Huh? For example? ”

"How much does your dress cost?"

"Wait. I really didn't ask. ”

"I see you wear overalls occasionally? Then you still wear a skirt when you go out, right? Where does the fabric of your dress come from? ”

"Of course it's from the Weaving Bureau."

"Do you know how much the material from the Weaving Bureau is?"

“.” Zhu Ling was stunned for a moment. She pulled out the jade card and dialed the phone.

"Hello? Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, it's me. Don't look for you, is Song Shanggong here? Let her answer the phone, Sister Shanggong, how much is the clothes I usually wear? ”

It was counted over there. Zhu Ling was stunned for a moment.

"20 taels and one piece? What? It's my cargo pants??? How much is the brocade I wear? ”

It was counted again. Zhu Ling was completely stupid:

"More than a hundred taels for a horse? Plus the manual fee costs 150 taels??? Or just wear it once? ”

"That's right." He replied, "My eldest princess, haven't you noticed that the splendid materials you wear for the New Year and festivals have always been worn only once." Because it can't be washed, the gold thread, embroidery, etc., on it, will be discarded after washing, so it can only be worn once. Usually, I will buy you clothes, and I will have to pay more than 1,000 taels a year. ”

"Then where did my aunt get the money? Isn't she out? How could she still have the money to wear these? ”

"You said that the eldest princess of Ningguo, she speculated in stocks. She pawned her Lu coupons to speculate in stocks, and then made a fortune, and now she often subsidizes the use of the palace. Have you forgotten that she brings you clothes when she often looks at you? She gave it to you at her own expense. She also paid for the equipment for the Son of Heaven. ”

"What about my brother?"

"Your Majesty the Son of Heaven, in addition to the new dragon robe every year, there are only eight sets of regular clothes for the four seasons, and he has indeed saved this silver. But he built a few small centrifuges in Changchun Palace, and they didn't turn off when they were on, but they directly pulled industrial cables, and the electricity meter turned like a marquee. Of the few of you, you are the one who saves the most money. Just raise pandas and wear cargo pants. ”

"But I don't need such expensive cargo pants! Isn't there more than a hundred pieces of money outside? ”
