Chapter 514: News of Chili Pepper Auction
Jiang Xingchen couldn't help but laugh, at the beginning of his cooperation with the Wang family, he drew some of the species he needed into an atlas, including potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes, corn, rubber trees, etc., and of course, the more important peppers. And now, what the Wang family said in their letter to Jiang Xingchen was about chili peppers.
In the previous life, chili peppers were native to Mexico, and Jiang Xingchen didn't know if he needed to sail around the world to find them, and he didn't expect that the Wang family would actually hear the news.
In fact, it can't be said to be an inquiry, the Wang family was also recognized by people when they saw his atlas when they went to sea to trade with merchants on Sizhou Island.
However, at that time, the man obviously said that he had leaked his mouth, and then he didn't mention the matter, and the side knock on the side of the Wang family didn't work. In the end, the Wang family was helpless, so they wrote to sù Jiang Xingchen.
Although he couldn't know the specific location of the chili pepper, Jiang Xingchen was already very satisfied, at least he already knew that the chili pepper was not far away from him, and he didn't need to wait for the time when he designed a super-large ship to sail around the world.
"Hot pot, spicy chicken, mapo tofu, spicy crab, spicy fragrant pot, boiled fish ......" Jiang Xingchen muttered one dish after another in his mouth, feeling raw under his tongue, and saliva involuntarily bubbled out.
"Boy, what's so happy, tell me about it!" the old man at the door flashed and walked in.
"I'm happy, hehe, you're definitely even happier when you hear it!" Jiang Xingchen replied casually.
"Oh?" the old man's eyes lit up, and he urged: "Then don't you hurry up and sue me!"
"It's something to eat......
As soon as Jiang Xingchen spoke, the old man swooped over. grabbed Jiang Xingchen's shoulder and asked quickly, "Did you find the chili pepper?"
"Uh!" Jiang Xingchen was dumbfounded and looked at the old man with a shocked expression. He shouted in his heart: "This old guy is a god or a prophet, how does he know?"
When the old man saw Jiang Xingchen stunned, he was a little anxious, shook him vigorously, and shouted: "Boy, tell me quickly, did you find the chili pepper!"
Jiang Xingchen's lips pursed for a long time. Only then did he speak: "Dao...... Fellow Daoist, you are already a Da Luo Jin Immortal!"
"Dao, Dao, your sister. Boy, you have a bad brain!Ask if you have found the chili pepper, why did you say something strange!" The old man said as he reached out and touched Jiang Xingchen's forehead.
Jiang Xingchen shook his head suddenly, and then asked loudly, "Old guy." How did you know about chili?"
The old man hasn't answered yet. A strong wind blew in, and Zhao Danqing's sturdy figure appeared in the room, and asked loudly in surprise: "Did you find the chili pepper?"
The old man pointed at Zhao Danqing with his hand: "It's these two goods that tell me, saying that you said that roast lamb leg tastes better if you put chili peppers!"
The old man said that he didn't know if he thought of the delicacy of roast lamb shank, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Did I tell you?" Jiang Xingchen looked at Zhao Danqing suspiciously, he didn't remember it at all.
"Hmm!" Zhao Danqing nodded vigorously and said, "When the new town celebration was held last year. I said that roast lamb shank is the best in the world, and you say that it is better to put chili peppers.
The corners of Jiang Xingchen's mouth twitched twice. secretly said in his heart: "These two big foodies, Nima just mentioned it last year, you have always remembered it, I forgot it." And as soon as I said food, this old thing immediately came to mind, it's still not a person, open my mind and look at it, it is estimated that there is nothing else in it except food.
Jiang Xingchen sneered in his mouth, nodded and said, "The chili pepper has indeed been discovered, but it's still too early to eat it!"
"Why can't you eat it if you find it?" Zhao Danqing asked eagerly, and the old man nodded again and again.
"That thing is overseas, and I don't know the specific location, and I don't know when I will ......find it," Jiang Xingchen patiently explained to them.
"I haven't found it yet, then you just laughed at a fart! snake spirit disease, wasting my feelings!" When the old man heard that he hadn't found it, he immediately turned into a careless look.
"That's it!" Zhao Danqing nodded.
"I'm ...... the next Olympics" Jiang Xingchen didn't hold back, his foul mouth burst out, and he pointed at the old man and Zhao Danqing and shouted: "Sue you, when I find it, I won't give you a bite to eat!"
"Let's wait until you find it!" The old man looked indifferent, grabbed Zhao Danqing, who was about to plead and say good things, tilted his head, turned around and left the room with a victorious look.
Jiang Xingchen was stunned for a long time at the backs of the old man and Zhao Danqing, shook his head and said: "This old guy, Xian Ning's injury has just improved, and he will be idle and painful, and it will be uncomfortable if he doesn't fight with me for a while!"
Jiang Xingchen said this, think about himself again, it's not the same, if you don't hit the old man for a few days, you will feel uncomfortable, and it will become a habit.
Shaking his head with a smile, Jiang Xingchen immediately replied to the Wang family, instructing the Wang family that if the person was unwilling to say that it didn't matter, he must not cut off contact with that person, if he really couldn't figure it out, he would come forward in person......
When Jiang Xingchen wrote the letter, Zhao Danqing stood in the courtyard with some hesitation and asked the old man: "If we find chili peppers, what if Brother Jiang really doesn't give them to us?"
"Second goods, stupid you!" The old man raised his hand and gave Zhao Danqing a chestnut, and said: "You don't want to think about it, it will be the first anniversary of Xinzhen in a few days, can he not use good things, and then he will be able to eat and go to the village if he doesn't give it to us!"
Zhao Danqing was speechless for a while, can the restaurant be compared with Brother Jiang, it is completely two levels...... They were all brought by you old guy, and this time I won't be able to eat Brother Jiang's craftsmanship.
The old man looked at Zhao Danqing's expression, and smiled secretly in his heart: "Zhao boy, you are much more tender, the more angry I am now, the more he will be hungry for me in the future, and when he makes it, are you still worried that I can't get it......"
The more he thought about it, the more proud he became, and the old man laughed.
Zhao Danqing scolded the old man's heart several times before turning around and running out of the yard.
As soon as they left the Lord's Mansion on the front foot, Grandpa Fu arrived on the back foot.
"Sir, it's the end of August, whether we want to hold a celebration this year or not, it's too late if we don't prepare. Entering the room, Grandpa Fu immediately asked.
Jiang Xingchen had just finished writing a letter to the Wang family, put down his pen, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, of course the celebration will be held, but it will not be in September!"
"Uh!" Grandpa Fu was a little confused, it wasn't September, when was it. After September, is it still called the first anniversary celebration?
Jiang Xingchen knew what Grandpa Fu was thinking, and he also wanted to hold a first anniversary celebration in September. However, the piano was by no means designed in such a short period of time, and that thing couldn't give Xian Ning much guidance on its own.
One of his biggest purposes for this celebration is to thank Bauhinia fans. In several fights in a row, whether it was with overseas or with the Emperor, Bauhinia's fans did everything they could to support him.
When Anyang Kite Garden, when pirated books, when Xingchen Monthly, no matter how many people discussed, no matter how many people slandered, Bauhinia's fans stood on his side without regrets, arguing with each other, and spending money to buy things received by Xingchen. With this group of fans, Jiang Xingchen felt down-to-earth in his heart.
So this time, all he has to do is to thank the fans who have always supported him with new instruments, new music, and new forms.
In order to make such a stage, of course, the anniversary celebration of Xinzhen will not be able to do it in September, and we will have to wait until the piano production zuò comes out.
"The anniversary celebration is just a name, it's okay to postpone it a bit!" Jiang Xingchen said with a smile.
"Sir, many of the tourists who come to the territory now are inquiring about the celebration. It's okay if we postpone it, but we have to have an accurate time!If not, I'm worried that it will affect the number of tourists!" Grandpa Fu said with a frown.
"That's the same!" Jiang Xingchen said, frowning, the exact time, he couldn't be sure.
"There's one more thing!" Grandpa Fu thought for a while, and then said: "The road construction has reached the busiest time, and the Duan family has mobilized a large number of laborers from all over the country in order to catch up with the construction period. They just took another 30 million from me. Now it costs a total of 100 million to build the road......"
"You're not going to sue me for having no money again, are you?" Jiang Xingchen asked in surprise.
"Of course, there is money, 30 million in the advertisements of the teahouse and the Xingchen Monthly, and 10 million in trade with the world's commercial houses, Huajia, and overseas this year...... However, the money we earn from tourism, food, and medicine can only maintain a balance of payments!"
"No, our territory is quite hot!" Jiang Xingchen straightened his eyes.
"It's quite hot, but we need to raise too many things, so let's not talk about the personnel. You may not know it, but now the number of wild wolves has reached 3,000, and their daily meal is larger than that of the staff in the territory, and they eat all meat... And those King Kong ants, although they eat everything, but the number is too large, and the money they eat is more than that of the wolves...... And we also expanded the amusement park this year, and the research institute also costs money, and we also build a paper workshop......."
"Stop!" Jiang Xingchen only felt that his head was big for a while, and he hurriedly made a gesture to pause.
"Just tell me, is there money again now?" Jiang Xingchen asked.
"There is no shortage of money, I still have 140 million in my hand! But I just want to remind the lord that once the road is built and the expansion of the territory begins, according to your plan, this money will not be enough to invest twice. Grandpa Fu said.
"Understood!" Jiang Xingchen nodded and said, "In that case, let's change the celebration to an auction in September!"
"Changing it to an auction?" Grandpa Fu asked incomprehensibly, "Can changing it to an auction attract people?"
Jiang Xingchen said with a smile: "Since last year's Demon Beast Feast, we have already started to build momentum for the auction. Since the celebration is going to be postponed now, let's hold the auction first, and just make up for next year's construction!"
"But, do we have so many things?" After Jiang Xingchen finished speaking, Grandpa Fu showed a look of doubt. (To be continued......)
