Li Xiaoyao listened attentively, said a few more words to his mother-in-law, stood up, bent down to help her up, and said goodbye to her. He watched her go back happily, then breathed softly and turned around.

Turning around, she looked at Su Zicheng who had been looking at her and said with a smile: "Look, your people are so good! You must cherish them!"

Su Zicheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why don't you just reward her with a few taels of silver!"

"No wonder... look at grandma, she is so old and she still makes sachets and digs wild vegetables. She is a strong person. It is better to just reward her than to buy her things. Alas, you don't understand what I am telling you!" Li Xiao

After explaining a few sentences, he waved his hands and was too lazy to explain to Su Zicheng any more.

Su Zicheng only stared at her and asked, "What's the reason?"

"No wonder some people say you only know how to kill people." Li Xiaoyao answered readily.

Su Zicheng raised his eyebrows angrily, looked at Li Xiaoyao, and concluded directly: "Shui Yan said that?"

"I originally said this to praise you, just to praise you. When we were talking, we all mentioned that although the second master is young, he is invincible in battle. As for the poems and lyrics, the second master is not incapable of writing.

Okay, I'm just too lazy to write. Otherwise, if the second master is gifted with talents, what can he not do? You think so?" Li Xiaoyao answered speciously with a smile.

Su Zicheng looked at her and snorted softly: "You all, Shui Yan and Lu Feng are indispensable. You are the only ones who dare to be so presumptuous. You can do nothing but kill people, right? Pretend I don't know.

?”

"I am a talented person. How can there be anything in the world that you don't know? There is really nothing. I am just praising you. Shui Yan, you still don't know. I regard you as an idol and respect you. I respect you very much. Lu Feng.

You are his junior uncle, if he dares to be disrespectful, you will beat him! You are afraid that you will not be able to obey him if you beat him!"

"You treat me like a clay puppet?" Su Zicheng laughed angrily.

Li Xiaoyao pulled down his sleeves and pulled him back while smiling: "The clay puppets are either gods or saints, which is incredible. Okay, let's go back quickly. I know that Hui Huicai.

It's best to blanch it in boiling water when you go back and serve it cold. This is the first time I heard about what pig mother vegetables are. I went back and asked Dayu if he knew him. Hey, do you know?" Li Xiaoyao said, turning around.

Ask Nanning et al.

Nanning hurriedly smiled and said: "This pig mother vegetable is the common name in Beiping. This vegetable can be used as medicine, and it is also called purslane."

"So it's this thing! Then I know, this purslane is such a good thing. I went back and asked Dayu to add more eggs and a little bit of wheat flour. It will be fried until it's yellow and crispy. It's delicious!" Li Xiao

Yao turned his head and looked at Su Zicheng, smiling like a flower.

Su Zicheng was made to feel relaxed and comfortable by her smile and the family's gossip. He smiled and nodded: "If you eat this, there is nothing you don't know!"

"Yes, the world is big, but there are only a few. Food is the most important thing for the people. This is a big deal!" Li Xiaoyao said and laughed in a relaxed mood.

Luo Yan was right. He said it openly. At least he no longer had any scruples. Only then could he live a life of ease and ease. He wanted nothing in this life but to be free and at ease.

Li Xiaoyao's relaxation made Su Zicheng also relaxed and happy, and the two of them chatted and laughed all the way back to the inn.

Li Xiaoyao entered the second door, asked a woman for directions, and went straight to the kitchen. Nanning followed closely with a basket, and Su Zicheng followed at the end, waving the folding fan, and walked to the kitchen.

.

The boys behind him naturally didn't dare to talk to themselves and dispersed. They followed him to the kitchen and stood in a large group at the door of the kitchen.

Nanning carried the basket into the kitchen, came out, and quickly waved away all the boys, leaving only two boys outside the door waiting to be summoned.

Haitang didn't know what it was at all, and Dayu hesitated for a long time before he recognized it.

Li Xiaoyao had no choice but to talk haphazardly about the cooking methods that he could tell at a glance, and then described the taste in detail and how it tasted.

After all, Dayu is a master of a very high standard. After trying the cold gray vegetables for the third time, he could feel the orthodox taste that Li Xiaoyao said. The fried purslane with eggs is much simpler.

Li Xiaoyao withdrew from the kitchen with satisfaction. Su Zicheng stood behind Li Xiaoyao. Only then did he understand how Li Xiaoyao directed the cooking. He finally managed to endure it until he left the kitchen, laughing so hard that he almost couldn't hold a folding fan.

live.

Li Xiaoyao ignored him and went back to wash up and change into a bright yellow dress. After cleaning up and coming out, Nanning was already waiting at the entrance of the courtyard and took Li Xiaoyao into the main courtyard. Dongping hurriedly directed the boys to come in.

Had vegetable rice.

Su Zicheng took a piece of purslane egg pancake and looked left and right for a while before taking a tentative bite. After tasting it for a while, he was surprised and praised: "It's really delicious and rare!"

Li Xiaoyao ignored him and filled a bowl of clear chicken soup. He soaked a few purslane cakes, which were slightly larger than copper coins and fried to brown on both sides, and ate half the bowl with cold gray vegetables.

Su Zicheng saw that her food was delicious, so he also soaked half a bowl and ate it. The two of them finished a plate full of purslane cakes and cold vegetables, and drank a bowl of chicken soup without touching the dishes next to them.

.

After the two of them had finished eating, Beiqing had set up the red clay stove and was preparing to make tea. Li Xiaoyao hurriedly asked, "Can Beiqing know how to make Pu'er tea?" Beiqing nodded with a smile.

Li Xiaoyao hurriedly ordered: "I have some good Pu'er tea here. Let people bring it. Don't grind it into powder. Those muddy tea soups are the worst to drink. Among these teas, I think Pu'er tea is the best."

Su Zicheng raised his eyebrows, wondering if all the good teas he had in the past had become dark?

The two of them sat in the yard, drinking tea slowly. Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaoyao and thought for a moment. It would be better to tell her about this earlier.

"This spring, there was a severe drought in several counties on the Yangtze River in South Africa. It has not rained for more than a month. I transferred Rucheng guard Yao Mingguang to station troops at the Liangyue border area and asked him to pretend to charge up for an attack. For a while,

They often invaded South Vietnam with skirmishing troops to test the situation. South Vietnam has now transferred its troops from the south to the north, and the pressure on Chizhou has dropped sharply.

Now the Chizhou Prefecture has ordered Concubine Wu to murder the late emperor and tamper with the imperial edict. The eldest prince has proclaimed himself emperor and is deploying troops to attack Taiping Mansion. Over at Taiping Mansion... "Su Zicheng laughed softly,"

Empress Dowager Wu wrote me a letter, and she was very affectionate, and at least we were relatives, so she could use her troops to test her."

Li Xiaoyao listened intently to Su Zicheng's words.

Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaoyao and said with a smile: "I replied to the letter. With her strength, the eldest prince is not a problem, and she did not give her any confidence. Your trip to Taiping Mansion has made a great contribution."

Su Zicheng suddenly turned to Li Xiaoyao. Li Xiaoyao looked at Su Zicheng in surprise and waited for him to continue.

"My eldest brother and I have discussed it several times. If you do not receive a generous reward for your contribution, it will not be justified in any case. But if you do, you are a woman after all, and you cannot be an official. Moreover, your trip to the Taiping Mansion is secretive. I

I want to discuss it with you first, and I will reward you with gold and silver, what do you think?"

Li Xiaoyao's heart beat wildly when she heard that, she was rewarded with gold and silver! This was a good thing she had been dreaming about! Li Xiaoyao bit her lip, suppressing the surprise and surprise in her heart, and was silent for a moment, then looked at Su Zicheng and tried:

"How much can I reward?"

Su Zicheng hesitated for a while, "Golden gold?"

Li Xiaoyao's eyebrows suddenly rose, a smile spread across his face, and he kept nodding: "Just ten thousand taels of gold! Then ten thousand taels of gold! I don't want anything else, I just want this ten thousand taels of gold!"

Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaoyao with an ecstatic expression in astonishment.

Li Xiaoyao danced his arms and was excited for a while before gradually calming down. He grabbed the cup and drank more than half of the cup of tea. The smiles all over his body were flowing out. He looked at Su Zicheng and sighed at the same time: "You don't know.

I have so many plans, but I can’t do any of them because I have no capital!

Now it’s good, with these ten thousand taels of gold, you have everything! Just three to five years, you see! These ten thousand taels of gold can be turned into one hundred thousand taels, two hundred thousand taels! My business

It can be spread everywhere and even overseas.

I have long wanted to build a fleet, the largest and most powerful fleet, and sail across the ocean to make a lot of money. To the south of Lukang, not far from the mainland, there are many islands with lush forests. When I make money,

Hire more bodyguards and live on Zhanzhi Island! Oh! We must plant peach blossoms on the island and call it Peach Blossom Island!"

Li Xiaoyao was talking to himself, laughing as he talked to himself.

The corners of Su Zicheng's eyes twitched slightly. Looking at Li Xiaoyao dancing happily, he suddenly felt a strong sense of regret. This reward of ten thousand gold was given to the wrong person!

Hearing Li Xiaoyao's messy plans made him feel a little upset, angry and increasingly tormented.

"Ten thousand taels of gold!" Li Xiaoyao patted the armrest of the chair and sighed excitedly again, leaning back in the rocking chair: "If it were exchanged for silver, it would be one hundred thousand taels! After all, the royal family is rich! We have agreed

, just ten thousand taels of gold!"

Li Xiaoyao raised his head slightly and looked at Su Zicheng for confirmation. Su Zicheng gave a specious 'hum': "But let me hear what you mean first."

"I mean ten thousand taels of gold! How wonderful!" Li Xiaoyao stretched out his fingers one by one, "We have to do things one by one. First, go back and take a look at the goods in the weaving workshop. If it is not better than Taiping

If you are a government official, I will add 10,000 taels of silver to it. If you want to do it, you need to make it bigger and open a shop in Kaiping Mansion. Now that you have the money, this shop must be opened in a more grand manner. In the second half of the year, the semicolon will be opened in Huainan.

Road and Liangdi go!

Second, Luoyan spends the most money here. Buying a house is a big expense, and there are other things, which cost at least 20,000 taels of silver. Be generous and give her 25,000 taels.

Build another fleet, forget it, the money for building a fleet is still a drop in the bucket, let's build two ships first, and go to sea with both ships, so that we can take care of you if anything happens..."

Su Zicheng was confused by Li Xiaoyao's calculations like a dream, and his face became more and more gloomy. He couldn't help but interrupt Li Xiaoyao angrily: "You are a girl, do this business, do that business,
Chapter completed!
