Seeing that the watermelon in front of him was broken open, with only a piece of grape flesh missing in the middle, Su Yizhao suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth in pain.
What a waste! Only this prince could live such an extremely extravagant and wasteful life.
A watermelon costing five taels of silver each, this man actually only ate the sweetest and tenderest piece of grape flesh in the middle.
Although Su Yizhao was very grateful to this uncle for indirectly promoting her business in the village, this watermelon was an early melon, and there were not many melon seeds in the melon sac. It was tender and juicy, so it was not just delicious!
"I heard that the fruits on Yuhe Village are easy to sell, especially this watermelon, which can be sold for five taels of silver each. It's a huge profit."
The prince glanced briefly, then pointed at the watermelon and said.
Jiang Yongnian smiled and said, "Then Zhuangzi does have some skills. We worked hard at Zhuangzi for two or three months, but we only managed to grow two melons. And the taste of these two melons is far worse than these. It can be seen that
There are still some other sayings inside.”
"Oh?" The prince thought thoughtfully.
"I kind of like this melon. If I buy it often, how can I have the convenience of having it delivered to me at my own store? It's also comfortable to eat."
These words made Su Yizhao frown slightly. What did this guy mean? Could it be that Zhuangzi fell in love with her and wanted to rob her by force?
Jiang Yongnian didn't know how to answer the question. Only the prince dared to say such words.
If an aristocratic family like theirs utters wild words and spreads it, I'm afraid the officials will grab their pigtails and refuse to let go.
"Huh? Why are the cherries on this farm so big?"
The prince pointed curiously at a plate of freshly washed cherries on the table, with a look of surprise on his face.
Su Yizhao's eyes followed the direction he pointed. This plate of cherries was each the size of a copper coin and was red in color.
Because it had just been washed, my face was glowing with oil.
I saw a big white palm reaching towards the cherries on the plate. In a moment, half of the cherries on the plate were dazzled.
"Yeah! This tastes very good." The prince praised while eating.
He looked at Jiang Yongnian, "Is this also produced by Zhuangzi?"
Jiang Yongnian nodded. Anyway, there are no such cherries in their village. This one is about four or five times the size of ordinary cherries, and I don’t know how it grew.
The big cherry is a new variety cultivated by Su Yizhao and grafted by several gardeners who tend to flowers and plants.
The current Jade Hezhuang is Su Yizhao's treasure. How can he allow others to get involved?
Seeing the prince becoming more and more interested in Zhuangzi, Su Yizhao felt particularly unhappy.
Soon, the game prepared at Zhuangzi was brought out.
Su Yijue had just tasted these game meats half an hour ago, and her stomach was still a little bloated at this moment. She was a little indifferent to the aroma that came over her.
The same was true for Jiang Yongnian. How could he still eat? But the prince was in high spirits and told them not to be polite while eating.
Su Yizhao was a little speechless. Who is the master? Originally, the guest followed the host, but now he became the guest, eating and drinking without talking, and even showing off the host's money.
Seeing the attractive color and fragrant roasted suckling pig being served again, Su Yizhao no longer had the same appetite as before.
The servant cut the two tenderest pieces of tenderloin under the belly into thin slices and put them into the prince's jade bowl.
Su Yizhao couldn't help but glance at him sideways. This man even brought his own dishes and chopsticks when he went out.
Exquisitely carved jade bowls and spoons, and ivory chopsticks inlaid with gold rims. Are you eating silver? It’s really luxurious.
Seeing Zong Yuze pick up the thin piece of meat, Su Yizhao and Su Yizhao thought he was going to stuff it into their mouths. Unexpectedly, his ivory chopsticks turned and were sent in the direction of Su Yizhao.
Su Yizhao looked down and found that there was an extra piece of meat in her bowl. She looked over blankly.
Not only Su Yizhao was stunned, but even Jiang Yongnian was very surprised.
He thought that it was just the first time for the prince and Su Yizhao to meet, but this action of picking up food for each other was something that only people with good friendships would do, and he suddenly felt a little unhappy.
"Master, please use more, we have already used it just now." Su Yizhao said quickly.
However, the prince ignored Su Yizhao's words and said directly: "These two pieces of meat are the most tender parts of the roasted suckling pig. Have you ever tasted them?"
Su Yizhao was a little confused about the other party's thoughts, but he still nodded.
Unexpectedly, the prince's face suddenly darkened and he placed the chopsticks on the table with a "snap" sound.
He said a little coldly: "This meat is overcooked and not delicious at all. Take it away!"
The steward who was originally waiting aside to serve him was a little confused. When he learned that this was the famous Jing'an Crown Prince in the capital, he worked hard to serve him.
This roasted suckling pig was obviously just right, but he had been staring at it just now. How could it be that it was old?
It seems that what people say is right, this man is really difficult to serve.
A roasted suckling pig only had a few pieces of meat and was taken down again.
Then several game dishes were served one after another, and the prince was picky about them in every possible way. He only took one or two bites of each game and stopped using his chopsticks.
This made the servants who served Zhuangzi silent for a while and sweating profusely.
Su Yizhao despised the prince's extravagance and waste in his heart, while the smile on Jiang Yongnian's face was a little forced and could hardly be maintained.
Isn't this a slap in the face in public? He is now very sure that this man is here to cause trouble.
But he didn't understand when he had offended the other party.
Su Yizhao was too silent. This embarrassed Jiang Yongnian, so he took the initiative to ask: "I heard that the prince has been resting in the temple? Did you come to the suburbs to relax today?"
The prince nodded, then raised his eyebrows and asked, "What? You can go out for an outing, but I can't?"
Su Yizhao immediately shut up. Did this old man take some medicine today? So choking?
Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for more than two years, this old man's temper became even more eccentric than before.
Zong Zeming gave instructions to the steward of Zhuangzi: "Have you prepared a room? I am a little tired."
The steward nodded repeatedly, and then looked at his young master.
Seeing that his young master agreed, he asked respectfully: "You are ready, but you want to rest now?"
Only then did Su Yizhao notice that the lamps were already lit in the pavilion and it was already getting late.
She wanted to go back. After all, she was not used to living in other people's homes, but she heard the prince say: "Let's all rest early. Let's talk tomorrow."
Do you want to talk about it tomorrow? This young master thinks that everyone else is very idle, so he can only relieve his boredom, right?
Su Yizhao looked calm, but he also felt that it was getting late. He would have to mobilize troops again and tire Jiang Yongnian when he returned, so he decided to stay in Zhuangzi.
The three of them immediately separated, and under the leadership of their servants, each returned to his own room.
Jiang Yongnian looked at Su Yizhao who was about to leave, and wanted to ask Su Yijue if he and the prince knew each other, but Su Yizhao was already walking quickly towards the yard in front.
After thinking about it, he decided to ask again tomorrow and turned back to his house.
