"Do you have a kitchen knife here? Cut this pumpkin open and show it to me." Mingruo picked up a pumpkin and it was quite heavy when he weighed it in his hand.
"Girl, this pumpkin is different from watermelon. It must be cooked before it can be eaten." The shopkeeper thought he wanted to cut it open and taste it.
"I'll do it." Si Haochen held the pumpkin and broke it open. It was quite a big pumpkin and was broken open like an apple.
Mingruo twitched the corner of her mouth, was this the legendary boyfriend with overwhelming power? Mingruo looked at the 'melon seeds' inside, they were quite plump and could be used as seeds: "Shopkeeper, how many melons do you have here?
"
"It's the same as this one, and weighs over two hundred kilograms. It's smaller than this one, and it's probably a few dozen kilograms, maybe less than a hundred kilograms."
"No matter the size or appearance, it costs ten cents per catty. I want it. Do you want to sell it?" Mingruo wanted the seeds inside, but he didn't have too many requirements on the size.
"Sell!" the shopkeeper gritted his teeth and immediately decided, "Girl, do you want carrots? I'll give you a cheaper price."
If you dig out the carrots and plant them back, they probably won't survive. However, if you plant them in space, maybe you can?
"I want a hundred pounds, how much cheaper can you give me?" It can't grow in space, so it can be eaten by Lie Yan and Xiao Mo Mo as a supplement of carotene for them.
As for why she doesn’t take supplements for herself, ahem, the little fairy Mingruo said that she has never liked eating carrots since she was a child, haha.
"It's ten cents a pound, what do you think, girl?" the shopkeeper gave the price.
"Okay." Mingruo took out a five-tael silver ingot and gave it to the shopkeeper. "We weigh it and send it to Yunyan Pavilion."
"Ah..." The shopkeeper's heart trembled when he heard the reputation of Yunyan Pavilion, and his face was full of smiles, "Don't worry, girl, I will take care of it for you."
"Thank you." Mingruo nodded slightly.
After wandering from the west to the south, Mingruo couldn't walk anymore. Si Haochen had someone carry the carriage over and bowed to the lady of the pavilion to return to Yunyan Pavilion.
Si Haochen led Mingruo up to the carriage and sat down. The gauze curtains fell down and the carriage walked leisurely along the street. Mingruo tilted her little head and leaned on Si Haochen's shoulder.
"Having bought so many pumpkins and radishes, do you want to sow seeds?" Si Haochen stretched out his long arms and stopped the princess's waist.
"Well, carrots and pumpkins can be stored for a long time if the conditions are right. Moreover, pumpkins, like potatoes, can be eaten as food."
"I see." Si Haochen thought for a moment, "If you want to try planting some first, let me do it."
"Okay." Mingruo felt that if her boyfriend could do more "reform through labor" in the space, the mighty and domineering God of War Prince would turn into a hard-working peasant uncle.
We walked to an open area, where many workers were working, looking like they were building a stage: "What is this?"
The guard carrying the chariot said: "To tell you what, madam, tomorrow is the Qiao Qiao Festival, and a magpie bridge will be built here for people to play."
"Oh." Ming Ruo complained in her heart - if we build the Magpie Bridge on Chinese Valentine's Day, then we should also build the Moon Palace on the Mid-Autumn Festival? You city people are really good at playing.
"The street will be very lively tomorrow. I will bring you here to play." Probably because I am bored from staying in the heart of the mountain all day long, no matter what festival is held in Yongye City, it is much grander than outside. My little princess seems to like it very much.
Visit the night market.
"Are you dating me?" A sly smile appeared on Mingruo's lips.
"Yes." Si Haochen nodded seriously, his eyes full of endearment.
"Hahaha." Mingruo held Si Haochen's arm, "My bamboo horse is so cute."
The two returned to Yunyan Pavilion and found that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
When Xingyao saw his master coming back, he quickly stepped forward and reported: "Master."
"What's the matter?" Si Haochen turned his head and looked at Xingyao.
Xingyao lowered his head and reported: "Not long after you left, someone came to buy your life and offered 200,000 gold to prevent Prince Dong Huanyun from returning to the imperial capital..."
"Hmm." Si Haochen sat down at the main seat, looking very interested, "Have you found out who the visitor is?"
"This subordinate is incompetent. That person left Yongye City immediately after leaving Yunyan Pavilion. This subordinate was thrown away." Xingyao's head lowered lower and lower, and finally he almost held it in his arms.
Si Haochen banged the table repeatedly: "What are your plans?"
"The other party left half of the gold ticket as a deposit. I thought... if I keep silent and keep so much gold in Yunyan Pavilion, that person might come again..." Xingyao also knows that this is a bit risky: very risky
Maybe, not only would the other party not come to the door, but they would also speculate on the relationship between the master and Yunyan Pavilion...
"If the Yunyan Pavilion operation fails, will the deposit have to be returned?" Mingruo heard that one hundred thousand gold was deposited into his account, and his eyes were full of small change.
"..." Xingyao was dumbfounded by the question, is there something wrong with Madam's focus?
"The killer goes on a mission and after completing it, he gets the other half of the reward. Even if the mission fails, the deposit is non-refundable." Si Haochen told the little girl the rules of the killer profession.
"Then just send someone to assassinate you. It won't be a loss if you make a deposit." Mingruo spread his hands.
Her boyfriend's small money is her small money. Once the small money goes into my sister's pocket, it can't fly away again.
"Ahem." Xingyao was really choked by his own saliva, "Madam, the signboard of Yunyan Pavilion costs more than 100,000 gold..." Are you a devil? You came here specifically to smash your own sign!
"Oh." It seems that we still have to practice martial ethics, and we can't directly use the black people's small money. "Why don't they ask Jinlou to do this task?" Isn't it said that Jinlou is a professional killer gang?
"Jinlou has rules and does not accept assassination missions from nobles of the first rank or above." His princess's thoughts jumped so fast that Si Haochen felt that he could not keep up.
It turns out that the boyfriend's level is too high, so Jinlou won't accept this task.
"That's easy!" Ming Ruo said with a smile, "The Jinlou killer and the palace's secret guards protect the prince together, but you only prepared the manpower to deal with the soldiers and secret guards. Isn't it justifiable that the mission failed?"
Xingyao's eyes lit up, this is a solution. If Yunyan Pavilion seems to be going all out, the chance of that person appearing again will be higher: "But Jinlou is a killer organization..."
You can’t smash the Yunyan Pavilion’s sign, and you can’t smash the Jinlou’s sign either!
"Just think of developing a new business - if you feel that you are being targeted by your enemies, just find a killer to protect yourself. After all, colleagues in the industry know each other's tricks best, and they may be more useful than bodyguards!" Ming Ruo said.
Straightforward.
Little did they know that soon after, this ‘new business’ became a hit, and Jinlou’s revenue increased several times compared to before.
"Master." Xingyao thought this idea was wonderful, but in the end it was his master who made the decision.
"Go to Tan Lang to discuss specific matters." Si Haochen waved his hand.
"Yes!" Xingyao turned around and went out, heading straight for the Golden Tower.
