Chapter 25 Persian Cuisine

 Oriole Garden is close to Baobao Lake. During the day, there are countless tourists who come to enjoy the lake and go boating. The streets along the lakeside outside the garden are full of merchants and sellers, making it a lively scene.

The sun was at the top of the sky, the sun was shining brightly, and the vendors were hawking loudly and wiping sweat with their sleeves.

The wild boar stood on the attic in the garden, looked away from a vendor selling dried pears on West Street, went downstairs, and went straight to the study.

"Military advisor, we've been watching all morning, and no one is watching us around!"

Zhang Yangquan sat behind the desk, waved his hands and said: "Thank you for your hard work, go and have a rest!"

After the wild boar left, he raised his head and looked at the ceiling, with thousands of thoughts in his mind.

Using the identity of a fake envoy to deceive the King of Zhennan into a stronghold in the city is an excellent start.

However, pretending to be an envoy is taking advantage of his unique advantages as a time traveler, and this method can never be repeated.

If we want the cottage to continue to earn a stable income, we need to find ways to continuously sell the vegetables produced in the cottage!

While thinking, there was a "bang" sound, and Qin Lingsi pushed the door open and said angrily: "Zhang Yangquan, please help me judge, my sister is too bullying!"

Zhang Yang sat up straight and said with a smile: "What happened to the leader of Dazhai?"

"Humph, she won't buy me a horse!" Qin Lingsi sat at the corner of the table and said with her arms crossed.

Zhang Yangquan spread his hands: "Then there is nothing we can do. She is the leader of the village, and we all have to listen to her!"

"I don't care, if you promise to buy it for me, you must keep your word!" Qin Lingsi said fiercely.

"Little sister, stop fooling around! Didn't I promise to buy you five horses?" But hearing the sound of footsteps, Qin Lingjun walked in from outside the door.

Zhang Yangquan stood up in a hurry and said with a smile: "The leader of the village is here, please take a seat!"

He walked forward and pulled Qin Lingjun to sit on the chair behind the case. Qin Lingjun did not resist and just whispered: "You are the owner of this garden, you don't have to be like this."

Zhang Yangquan waved his hand and said: "Oriole Garden is just a small stronghold in the village. If the master of the village likes it, he can always live here!"

"I just came here to discuss things with you. After the discussion, I will return to the village."

"Whatever the leader of Dazhai wants to do, do it!"

Seeing his dog-legged appearance, Qin Lingsi put her hands on her hips and said angrily: "I know how to please my sister. Don't forget who rescued you back to the village!"

Zhang Yangquan glanced at him and said expressionlessly: "Are you 'rescuing'?"

"You..." Qin Lingsi was furious.

Seeing tears rolling down her eyes, Zhang Yangquan hurriedly changed his words: "However, there are indeed too few horses in the village, which is not conducive to transportation. My subordinates think it is better to buy ten horses. What does the village owner think?"

Qin Lingsi suddenly turned from sadness to joy, wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "Yes, by pretending to be envoys this time, my babies have also done a great job, so I should find more brothers and sisters for them!"

"In that case, just buy ten of them!" Qin Lingjun nodded.

Qin Lingsi cheered, asked Qin Lingjun for money, and happily went to buy a horse!

"Master Dazhai, what's the matter with you coming here?"

After Qin Lingsi left, Qin Lingjun sat there silently without saying a word. Zhang Yangquan had no choice but to take the initiative to ask.

Qin Lingjun actually had nothing to do, he was just grateful for Zhang Yangquan's contribution to the village, and came over in agitated mood.

After seeing Zhang Yangquan, he felt calm again and felt that there was no need to express his gratitude, so he returned to the topic and said: "Military advisor, what should we do next? Do you want to stay in Jiangdu forever?"

Zhang Yangquan said with a smile: "I will only be a fake envoy for more than a month. During this time, I want to help find a good buyer for the vegetables in our village!"

Qin Lingjun asked: "Is he the King of Zhennan?"

Zhang Yangquan shook his head: "With so many vegetables, it is impossible for the Zhennan Palace to eat them all. We need to find a big businessman from Jiangdu to make this business sustainable!"

Qin Lingjun nodded and said: "We don't understand these things, so we can only trouble the military advisor. I will send more people over to help you. I will also help you take care of the greenhouse during your absence!"

Zhang Yangquan smiled slightly, sincerely appreciating Qin Lingjun's character of the bright moon.

She can completely entrust you with things she doesn't understand, and she won't interfere indiscriminately. She only concentrates on doing what she can.

"On the other side of the greenhouse, please leave it to the owner of the village!"

In the next few days, everyone in the village became busy.

Zhang Yangquan, on his side, goes to Zhennan Prince's Mansion early every morning to present the promised Yingtao radish seeds and personally demonstrates the planting method.

He also saved some money and only sent fifty seeds, and deliberately taught several wrong planting tips. With such planting, the seed germination rate was extremely low, and it would take at least a year to establish a large scale.

This arrangement is just a precaution to prevent the Zhennan Palace from mass-producing Yingtao radish and squeezing the selling price of its own Yingtao radish.

Qin Lingsi took the wild boar and other mountain bandits to pull out all the flowers and plants in the oriole garden and planted some radish and radish.

Guo Niansheng is responsible for purchasing grain, poultry, cloth, various daily necessities, etc., and also supervises the construction of warehouses!

Fang Yuan has already led his people to Haozhou, bringing thirty elite bandits and a huge sum of one hundred gold, pretending to be a caravan.

Qin Lingjun is the busiest, often running back and forth between the village and the Oriole Garden. At first, he spent more time in the village, but as time went by, he spent more time in the Oriole Garden.

The happiest people are the villagers. Some received chickens, some received ducks, and more than a dozen households received piglets.

Everyone feels that life is getting better and better. After eating three meals a day, they have endless strength. The mountains and fields are not enough for them to serve, so they are opening up new fields in the back mountains.

On this day, Qin Lingjun came to Oriole Garden from the village, her face was filled with joy. She had always been calm and composed, and she rarely lost her composure like this.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Qin Lingsi asked doubtfully.

Qin Lingjun did not answer, but asked: "Where is the military advisor?"

"Reading in the study room!"

Qin Lingjun nodded, walked all the way to the study, and shouted outside the door: "Commander, I'm coming in." He opened the door and went in.

Zhang Yangquan was familiar with ancient Chinese writing behind his desk. He stretched out his hand and made an invitation gesture, saying: "The leader of Dazhai is here. Please take a seat."

He placed two chairs opposite the desk. At first, the Qin sisters thought it was strange, but later they found that it was very convenient to talk to the desk like this, so they got used to it.

Qin Lingjun walked to the table, put her hands on the table, and said with a bright light in her eyes: "Military advisor, another vegetable has matured in the greenhouse!"

"Oh, what dish?" Zhang Yangquan asked quickly.

Qin Lingjun smiled and said: "The name you recorded on the side of the pottery pot is spinach, but we have another name here, called Persian grass!"

Qin Lingsi jumped up in surprise and shouted: "It's actually Persian grass?!"

Zhang Yangquan didn't quite understand why the two sisters were so excited, and wondered: "What's wrong with the Persian grass?"

Qin Ling said happily: "Persian grass is a very expensive vegetable. When our family was young, we could only eat it three or four times a month!"

Zhang Yangquan was stunned, no way, a mere spinach was so expensive in ancient times?

Qin Lingjun pulled up the chair and sat down, and said slightly strangely: "Don't you know, military advisor? Persia grass is a wild vegetable introduced from Persia in the Tang Dynasty. Due to the harsh growing conditions, the output has always been very small. In the Tang Dynasty, the price was higher than gold. Even now, the output has increased

It’s still an expensive dish!”

"...harsh growing conditions?"

Zhang Yangquan was stunned for a while, and soon thought that the ancient spinach varieties must have weak adaptability, so there were fewer places to grow, so they were expensive!

Qin Lingsi couldn't bear it anymore and asked: "Zhang Yangquan, how come you have so many weird seeds, and each one is better than ours? Are you... really Australian?"<

/p>

Zhang Yangquan said seriously: "I told you, I am a Han!"

"Then you..."

"That's enough, little sister!" Qin Lingjun stopped and said, "The military advisor will naturally say what he wants to say."

Qin Lingsi pursed her lips and remained silent.

Zhang Yangquan changed the subject and asked: "Does the spinach grown in greenhouses look similar to the Persian vegetables here?"

Qin Lingjun nodded and said: "It's almost the same, except that the leaves are bigger, and I believe the taste will be better! Military advisor, do you want to give these Persian dishes to King Zhennan?"

Seeing her expression, Zhang Yangquan knew that she wanted to use the vegetables in exchange for Bo Luo's reward. He laughed and said: "It's hard to squeeze any more money out of that Mongolian prince. Our next target is the wealthy businessman in Jiangdu City."

!"

Qin Lingsi smiled and said: "Are they the businessmen who came to visit these days?"

"Yes, these people are rich and have a low social status. It is the hardest for them to resist such good food. Once you have a good relationship with them, you can cooperate with them!"

Qin Lingjun said brightly: "The next batch of cabbage and Yingtao radish will grow soon. This time the quantity is so large that we are just missing a good buyer!"
