Chapter 44: Finding the Chili Pepper!
In a small pot, a special plant is growing tenaciously in it.
The most surprising thing is that this plant unusually bears fruit in such cold weather.
And it's not one or two fruits, but red, green, and green fruit hanging from the branches!
The people in the warm house never took their eyes off this special plant, they looked at it several times, but they didn't see anything strange about this thing except for its strange appearance, so that their own young lady could spend so much manpower and material resources to find it.
Among them, Steward Qiao was even more amazed: "You must not guess how much money is spent on this small pot of things." ”
When the rest of the people heard this, they all looked at him curiously.
Steward Qiao took everyone's expressions into his eyes, and after seeing Steward Song looking at him expectantly, the pride and sorrow in his heart were finally satisfied, and only then did he speak in the urging of everyone: "For this little thing, the master spent a total of 1,000 taels of silver!" ”
The sound of gasping continued to sound, and the people present had actually handled a lot of money these days. Not to mention a thousand taels, even if it is a silver ticket of 10,000 taels, they have all seen it.
But the whole 10,000 taels of silver was spent on such a thing that the flower did not look like a flower, and the grass did not look like grass, which still shocked them.
Ru Jun, who was in charge of kitchen affairs, was called over by Su Hengyu this time, she looked carefully at this pot of plants called chili peppers, and asked curiously: "What is the taste of this thing, does it taste more fragrant than meat, why does the master like it so much?" ”
Ru Jun can be regarded as well-informed, many ingredients that even Su Hengyu doesn't know, she has not only seen, but also cooked.
But this little fruit, Ru Jun saw it for the first time.
In this regard, Steward Qiao was also a little confused: "I just listened to the master's instructions to go out to find this chili pepper, and I don't know more about it." I've just heard that this thing is outside, and it seems to be used to make medicine. ”
When everyone heard this, there was another discussion, but it was a pity that Su Hengyu was not present at this time, otherwise she could explain it to them somewhat.
Speaking of Su Hengyu, Steward Song was a little curious: "Where is the master now?" After she got the news from the eldest princess today, she left with Mama Qin and Ziyun, but she hasn't seen anyone until now, do you know where she went? ”
The rest of the people shook their heads: "We don't dare to read the letter from the eldest princess, and the master only asked us to take good care of this pepper before leaving, saying that when the time is right, it will be planted in our manor." ”
didn't get the answer he wanted, Song Zhien was not disappointed, he only told the rest of the people: "You all know how much effort our master has put into this chili pepper, and now he has specially made a warm house for the chili pepper." Not many people outside of this thing know about it, and you should keep your mouth shut on weekdays, so don't leak the news. ”
"Do you hear that, no one is allowed to reveal anything about chili peppers? If I let me know who has done that betrayal, I will be the first to drive him out of Zhuangzi! Steward Qiao also said sharply.
He was originally in charge of the people in Zhuangzi, and if someone really dared to reveal the matter of chili peppers, he would definitely not make the other party feel better.
The people who were repeatedly beaten nodded hurriedly, and one by one they wanted to sew their mouths together.
The life in Zhuangzi is many times better than before, and Su Hengyu, the master, is even more kind and generous, and will reward them every New Year's Day.
And as long as you don't make any big mistakes on weekdays, there will be extra red envelopes on your birthday.
On such a good day, they are crazy to betray Miss.
Just when everyone in Zhuangzi secretly swore that they would take good care of Su Hengyu and follow her for the rest of their lives. As the object of allegiance, Su Hengyu's situation at the moment is not good.
She and Wei Zining were sitting in one of the most elegant private rooms in Fenghe Building, and the two young girls were sitting upright, and a cup of hot tea was wafting from the table in front of them.
And sitting directly opposite them was a middle-aged man who looked a little similar to Wei Zining.
The middle-aged man was wearing a plain dress, and if he didn't look closely, he wouldn't be able to see the delicate embroidery on the dress.
Su Hengyu took a careful look and found that the other party's clothes showed a sparkling texture in the sunlight, as if this dress was made of some precious scales.
With just this glance, Su Hengyu lowered his head again, not daring to look directly at the other party's appearance.
Perhaps sensing Su Hengyu's nervousness, the middle-aged man showed a kind expression: "Don't be afraid, I just came out for a walk today, and I happened to pass by Zining's restaurant, so I just came up to take a look." ”
He looked at Su Hengyu and said seriously: "Su family girl, I just came to see my daughter's property as a father today, you don't have to treat me as a great person, just treat me as an uncle." ”
Although having said that, the middle-aged man's attitude was also very kind, but Su Hengyu, who knew the identity of the other party, still found it difficult to suppress the tension in his heart. After all, this is not someone else, but Wei Zining's father, the current emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty!
Su Hengyu exhaled lightly, and replied thoughtfully: "The master is right, but the matter between me and the eldest lady has been almost dealt with today, and the rest of the tomorrow is enough to deal with the accounts together." ”
When Emperor Wei heard her address, he felt a little satisfied in his heart.
He said that he didn't let Su Hengyu care about his identity, but as the emperor's arrogance, he naturally didn't allow Su Hengyu to really put on an disrespectful appearance.
Previously, Emperor Wei always heard Su Hengyu's name from his daughter's mouth, and he also knew how much his daughter valued this partner. But the news that he arranged for the people to bring back was mostly negative rumors about Su Hengyu.
This made Emperor Wei feel like this girl in general.
But now that I look at it, although this child's reputation in the outside world is not good, she is also a smart girl who understands proportion.
In addition, Su Hengyu also offered himself two good recipes for free, and Emperor Wei's impression of her was much better.
Since both of them said that they were busy with the things at hand, Emperor Wei also asked unceremoniously: "I heard that these days, the 'Hua Xiangrong' you opened is very hot in Beijing, and many people have to queue up if they want to enter the store?" ”
"Where do you still need to hear about this, you might as well go out and take a look, my 'Hua Xiangrong' is so popular that everyone in Beijing knows it." Wei Zining naturally did not have such restraint as Su Hengyu in the face of Emperor Wei, and she spoke generously.
Emperor Wei listened with a smile before saying, "It is said that the popularity of that rouge shop is because there is something called soap." This thing should be the same as the soap sent by the Su family's girl, right? ”
Emperor Wei had also seen the soap recipe, and he was very clear about what was inside. Even after he got this recipe, he deliberately asked people to test it.
As a result, although the finished thing is not as beautiful as the soap that the queen is using, it is not much the same in terms of practicality.
However, Wei Zining didn't know much about this matter, so he pushed Su Hengyu out to answer.
At this moment, Su Hengyu was no longer as nervous as she was at the beginning, and she said very freely: "As the master thought, these two things are indeed of the same origin. However, soap has a little spice added to it, which makes it more expensive than soap, so it is not suitable for ordinary people. That's why we're only offering you soap. ”
When Emperor Wei asked about this, he didn't mean to rob the two of them, but he was just curious.
After listening to Su Hengyu's explanation, he also nodded appreciatively: "Yes, you are right." Counting this soap recipe, you have already given two good things for the benefit of the country and the people, what do you want me to reward you for such a great achievement? ”
Su Hengyu raised her head slightly, but she was not very excited when she heard this, she thought for a while before replying: "I hope that the master can give me a few skilled craftsmen, I have other powerful recipes in my mind, and I need capable craftsmen to achieve them." ”
