With that said, Jiang Hexi took out two brochures, handed them to Huo Jingchen, and said warmly: "This is the experience I summarized when planting corn and potatoes and some situations I encountered during the planting process. However, because the sweet potatoes are not mature yet, they still have to be harvested."
It’s not finished yet, I’ll show it to you when the time comes.”
Huo Jingchen held the booklet in his hand and felt that it weighed a thousand pounds and was more valuable than his tiger charm. After a moment of silence, he said gratefully: "Xi'er, thank you!"
"Yes! Xi'er, it's all thanks to you. If you promote this, you will really be a great contributor to our prosperity! This is a great good deed that saves thousands of people from disasters and disasters!" Wen Jianzhou shook his folding fan.
, looked at Jiang Hexi with a smile.
"That's right! If the people of Dasheng could plant this, people would not starve to death during the famine years in the future!" Huo Jingchen was very happy because Wen Jianzhoutao almost looked down on him.
Jiang Hexi waved her hand humbly and said politely: "Almost all these seeds were brought back by Brother Li and the people you sent. I'm just a farmer. How can I get such a big credit?"
"Actually, it's not that good. Although these sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn can fill you up, it's not easy to eat them all the time. Moreover, you can't eat these potatoes after they've sprouted. They'll be poisonous! But they can be processed. I'll do it later.
They all wrote down some cooking methods to make them taste better." For fear that they would continue to be polite, Jiang Hexi changed the topic and pointed to the booklet and added.
"Okay, we will pay attention." Huo Jingchen nodded in agreement.
Wen Jianzhou shook the cup in his hand and said jokingly: "Now can you tell us what this ice cube is about?"
"I heard from Xing Luo that rich people store their ice cubes in cellars in winter, but the cost is too high. In addition, the weather is getting hotter these days. I don't have money to buy ice cubes, so I have to
I did it myself.”
"You mean you did this yourself?" Wen Jianzhou's eyes widened immediately, and he almost jumped up from his chair, looking at Jiang Hexi in disbelief.
Jiang Hexi admitted it openly and told them the production method again.
"Think about it, how low the cost of the ice cubes produced in this way is! We can not only sell ice cubes, but also do ice juice business! Mr. Wen, this is a rare and profitable business!" Jiang Hexi looked at it excitedly.
The eyes of the two of them were full of expectation.
Wen Jianzhou put away his excitement and said seriously: "Do you know that this ice business has always been a monopoly of wealthy nobles, how dare you take food from them?"
"Of course I, a little peasant girl, would not dare to do this! However, the dignified son of Marquis Ning, the chief strategist of General Weiyuan, and the famous master of Wen, Mr. Wen, you are definitely not afraid of them!" Jiang Hexigou!
He handed over a piece of Xingluo's cut watermelon and patted her ass without any effort.
"It's easy to talk about. Who am I, Wen Jianzhou? There are only a few people in Dasheng that I'm afraid of. Naturally, I won't be afraid of little nobles like them." Seeing Jiang Hexi's approach, Wen Jianzhou took the watermelon in her hand and said,
After taking a bite, he shook his folding fan proudly, with a proud smile on his lips.
"Of course, our Mr. Wen is unparalleled in the world, a unique and handsome young man, how can he not be able to deal with those monsters! In this ice business, I will drink broth with Mr. Wen." Seeing that he was getting on, Jiang Hexi struck while the iron was hot and continued to flatter him.
With.
Wen Jianzhou nodded seriously and said, "I'm not such a black-hearted person. Let's split it 50-50! This is your idea, and I can't take advantage of you."
"Mr. Wen is indeed very generous! Let's have a good cooperation! Cheers!" Jiang Hexi's smile deepened, she hurriedly raised the juice in her hand and clinked glasses with Wen Jianzhou with a smile.
Seeing that the two of them were immersed in the plan to make money again, Huo Jingchen couldn't say anything, so he had to drink juice depressedly.
"By the way, take all these corns and potatoes away! Under the cover of night, you are not afraid of being discovered. There is still some corn in the field. I originally planned to cook it for you. Do you want to eat it?
If you want to eat, I will pick it." Jiang Hexi looked at the two of them, seeking advice.
Huo Jingchen refused: "No, there isn't much corn in the first place. It's better not to eat it. Use it as seeds. But we will take all the corn and potatoes back today."
"Okay, then I won't keep you here anymore. It's getting late. You should go back and rest early!" Jiang Hexi stood up and prepared to send the two of them off.
Huo Jingchen choked and reluctantly swallowed the words "It's getting late and I don't want to leave yet" that had already flooded his throat, and nodded silently.
Seeing Huo Jingchen's deflated appearance, Wen Jianzhou sneered mercilessly, causing Huo Jingchen to stare at him expressionlessly.
Wen Jianzhou subconsciously felt the soles of his feet getting cold, coughed slightly, turned around and pretended to be reserved: "Xi'er, let's talk about the cooperation in detail at the Chunjiang Restaurant at that time! If you are free, send someone to the General's Mansion to deliver a message
, now that it’s getting late, we’ll go back first.”
"No problem!" Jiang Hexi naturally agreed.
After they had loaded all the corn and potatoes onto the carriage, Jiang Hexi sent them to the door. She walked slowly toward home until no one could be seen, washed up and rested.
Chunjiang Restaurant was extremely lively today, and within a short time, the restaurant was already full.
"Waiter, give me a glass of iced watermelon juice!" Han Wu, who had come early, shouted as soon as he stepped into the door, and then walked into the yard and sat down on a table and chair.
"Okay! Mr. Han, please wait a moment!" A waiter in Tsing Yi shouted and ran towards the kitchen with a smile on his face.
"I want a glass of iced watermelon juice too!" A middle-aged man shouted while sitting at a table and chair in the lobby.
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment." The maid in pink clothes standing aside respectfully replied. After ordering the menu, she walked gracefully to the kitchen.
Wen Jianzhou leaned against the railing on the second floor and watched with interest the crowds of people below. He smiled and shook the folding fan in his hand.
"Yes, the ice business is really good."
Jiang Hexi on the side turned to look over, gestured to him proudly, and said with a smile: "Of course, our restaurant made this amount from selling ice cubes on the first day."
"I have already planned to sell the ice cubes to Fucheng. The sales will start in Beijing in a few days. Just wait and collect the money at home!" Wen Jianzhou laughed while stroking his hands and raised his eyebrows proudly.
When Jiang Hexi thought that she could earn a lot of money, she excitedly punched Wen Jianzhou on the shoulder, acting like a good buddy.
"You are a woman, how can you act like a man!" Wen Jianzhou rubbed his shoulders uncomfortably and stared at her dissatisfied.
Jiang Hexi smiled coquettishly, touched her earlobe sheepishly, and said dryly: "I was so happy, I must pay attention to it in the future!"
"Forget it, I was originally going to come with me today without any problems, but he was busy with potatoes and didn't come. I will bring him some food back later." Wen Jianzhou shook his head helplessly and turned around.
Let’s talk about another thing.
Jiang Hexi accepted the message generously: "Okay, I'll ask the kitchen to bring you more delicious food later."
"Well, the simple contract has been negotiated, and it's getting late. I should go back." Wen Jianzhou nodded and shook his folding fan.
"Okay, then I'll go talk to them." Jiang Hexi immediately ran downstairs, found a waiter, and gave instructions before walking up to the second floor.
After Wen Jianzhou left, Jiang Hexi and Xing Luo sat in the private room, waiting for the food to be served, and listened to Yao Qu's report.
Yao Qu said slowly: "My boss, we have placed a maid in He Ruyi's yard. Recently, because of He Yuan's incident, He Ruyi and He Yinbao were having some unpleasant troubles. There was some slack in the He family's backyard, so we took the opportunity to place her there.
A person enters He Ruyi's courtyard, but she is just a sweeping maid."
"We have also placed a few people in other places in the He family so that we can take care of them."
"It's already good. Just let her stay inside with peace of mind. Just pay attention to what happens in the He family. Then we can find an opportunity to find a way to work in He Ruyi's house." Jiang Hexi nodded appreciatively.
Yao Qu gritted his teeth in confusion and said dejectedly: "My boss, I haven't found the former servants of the He family yet."
"It's okay, take your time, don't be in a hurry." Jiang Hexi looked at the frustrated Yao Qu funny, but in the end she couldn't bear to laugh at him, and instead comforted him.
"Also, the shopkeeper successfully transported the saltpeter to Mr. Wen last night, and no one found out about it." Yao Qu thought of something and hurriedly added.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. If anyone asks about it in the future, just tell them that you bought the ice cubes from Mr. Wen. Even if others are jealous, they won't dare to make a mistake." Jiang Hexi smiled with satisfaction and whispered.
Yao Qu nodded understandingly and said, "If there's nothing wrong with my boss, I'll go and get busy first."
"Go ahead!" Jiang Hexi waved her hand innocently, indicating that he could help himself.
After a while, a woman in pink clothes walked in holding food.
"Master, this is the meal you asked for."
Jiang Hexi subconsciously looked up, but she didn't expect it to be Fang Daya! She was immediately surprised and said, "Why is it you?"
"Fang Daya thanks my boss for taking me in. Shopkeeper Wang said it's hard for me to show up all the time for fear of being bullied by others, so he asked me to chop vegetables in the kitchen."
"But I heard that my boss is here today, and I specifically asked Chef Fang to let me deliver the food, just to thank my boss for his kindness!" As she said that, Fang Daya knelt down.
Jiang Hexi stopped her in a hurry, feeling angry and funny. She sighed helplessly and said with emotion: "You don't have to be like this. I asked you to work in the restaurant because we were short of manpower. I saw that you were a good girl, so I asked you to come over."
