Strange love across time and space

Following King Jin to the place where the servants lived, Su Qing discovered that there were indeed many houses here. According to the steward's introduction, there were four courtyards and more than fifty rooms for the servants to live in. One room could accommodate four people. Personally, there is also a large kitchen and a small kitchen. The large kitchen is used for cooking by the servants, and the small kitchen is used by the owner when he occasionally comes to stay in the village. There is also a small courtyard for the owner to live alone. Su Qing also saw a dozen granaries, which were also very well built.

After reading the whole thing, Su Qing felt very satisfied and said to King Jin, "Your Highness, I think this Zhuangzi is pretty good. I wonder how much your Highness wants to sell it for?"

King Jin smiled helplessly, "I told you a long time ago, no money is required."

Su Qing blinked, looked at the steward brought by King Jin and said, "Steward, I asked someone to find out the next market price. A village of this size costs almost five hundred taels of silver. What do you think, steward?"

The manager knew the market conditions very well and nodded immediately, "The county leader is right, this..."

"Ahem..." Before the steward could finish his words, he was interrupted by King Jin's cough. He glanced at King Jin and saw that King Jin winked at him, so he quickly shut up and stepped aside.

King Jin smiled again and said, "Didn't the County Lord say you have something to tell me?"

"Yes! Yes, Your Highness, please step aside." Su Qing nodded and said.

Prince Jin led Su Qing to the small courtyard where the owner lived. After entering the house, Su Qing took a small cloth bag from Phantom and handed it to Prince Jin, "Your Highness, take a look at what's inside."

King Jin glanced at Su Qing, opened the bag, took out a handful of corn and a potato, and asked curiously, "What is this?"

"These are potatoes and corn." Su Qing told King Jin again what he had introduced to his family. Then he said, "I have already cooked these potatoes for my parents, and they all said they were delicious. If Your Highness doesn't believe it, I can cook them for you once."

King Jin naturally believed in Su Qing, but he was still looking forward to tasting the food made by Su Qing himself, so he nodded and said, "Okay, do you want to do it now?"

Su Qing nodded, "Yeah, but there's nothing in the kitchen here. Why not go to my restaurant next door to cook."

King Jin nodded and followed Su Qing to Xiaozhuangzi. When Chen Zhuangtou saw Su Qing coming, he knelt down and coughed. Su Qing excused him and introduced, "Chen Zhuangtou, this is His Highness the King of Jin. Your Highness is tired. Come to our Zhuangzi to have a rest. You can take a bath." A pot of tea.”

When Chen Zhuangtou heard that the man with the jade tree in front of him turned out to be the famous King of Jin, he was so frightened that his knees weakened and he knelt down to kowtow again. King Jin asked him to get up, and he stood up tremblingly and led everyone into the house. Then I asked Aunt Chen to serve tea and said sheepishly, "There is no good tea in Zhuangzi. Please don't blame His Highness Prince Jin."

King Jin waved his hand, "It's okay, you can go down first." After Chen Zhuangtou went down, Su Qing also stood up and said, "Then I'll cook for His Highness."

King Jin nodded, "Okay. I'm here to serve the county master."

After a while, a fragrant plate of fried shredded potatoes was brought up. Su Qing handed the chopsticks to King Jin, "Have a try, Your Highness."

Prince Jin smiled tenderly at Su Qing, took the chopsticks, and was about to pick up the food when Qian Feng behind him immediately stopped him, "Master!"

King Jin glanced at Qianfeng, his face a little unhappy, and said, "It's okay."

Su Qing immediately understood what Qianfeng meant, and immediately snatched the chopsticks from King Jin's hand, took a chopstick of shredded potatoes and put it into his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it, then stuck out his tongue to show King Jin, Expressing that he had really eaten, he said, "Your Highness, please rest assured."

Prince Jin was a little angry at Qianfeng's meddling in other people's affairs, which made him embarrassed in front of the girl he liked, but he still smiled on his face, "Of course I trust the county master." After saying that, he took it from Su Qing's hand. He passed the chopsticks and was about to pick up the vegetables. Unexpectedly, his wrist was held by a hand. King Jin looked up and saw a ghost with an iceberg face standing beside him, holding a new pair of chopsticks and passing them to him with a cold tone. He said, "Your Highness, Prince Jin, the chopsticks in your hand were used by my young lady. You'd better get a new pair." After saying that, before Prince Jin could speak, he took the chopsticks away from Prince Jin and gave him a new pair. Chopsticks.

King Jin was angry and regretful. He was almost, just a little short of being able to kiss Qingqing indirectly! When did this stinky guard get the chopsticks? Can he predict the future? He had no choice but to pick up vegetables and taste them. As expected, King Jin took a few bites and was full of praise for the shredded potatoes. I couldn't help but ask Su Qing doubtfully, "Is the yield of this potato really similar to that of sweet potatoes?"

"Of course it's true! It's more real than pearls!" Su Qing affirmed without hesitation.

King Jin was amused by Su Qing's expression and asked, "These two crops have not been successfully planted yet. Why did the county master tell me?"

Su Qing smiled slyly, "I only told my family and His Highness about this matter. No one else knows about it. I also ask Your Highness to keep it a secret for me. When the autumn is ripe, Your Highness can report this matter to the Emperor and take the initiative to take over the whole country." When the time comes for the task of sowing seeds, the Emperor will record a great contribution to His Highness."

After hearing this, King Jin was moved and asked, "Why has the county master helped me so many times?" He wished that Su Qing could say that he helped him because he liked him.

Su Qing said, "His Highness has a kind heart and will definitely become a wise king in the future. To put it bluntly, I hope that the next emperor will be His Highness."

King Jin was shocked. He didn't expect Su Qing to speak so boldly, but he was also happy that Su Qing could trust him so much. From Su Qing's words, King Jin understood that the Su family was on his side. Although Su Qing didn't help him many times because he liked him, it was a comfort to King Jin to be on his side.

Thinking of this, King Jin stood up and bowed his hands in a bow, "Thank you so much, Lord County, for being honest with me. I will definitely live up to the Lord's expectations!"

Su Qing also quickly turned sideways to avoid King Jin's salute, "Your Highness is of great status, how can you salute me as a little county master? It really offends me."

King Jin said, "Since the county lord has given me such a great gift, if I accept any more money from the county lord, it would be too much. Besides, I have many Zhuangzi to my name, so I am not short of this. Just treat it as a thank you to the county lord in advance." Be polite."

Su Qing shook his head. He didn't want to waste words with King Jin about money. He also knew that King Jin didn't want to take advantage of him, so he said, "I won't get this village in vain no matter what, not to mention that the crops haven't been planted yet. If something happens to me on the way, If there is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, the success may be ruined. So, let me buy your highness's village at half the market price. What do you think of your highness?"

King Jin still felt something was wrong, "A village is only a few hundred taels, and it is nothing compared to the great gift the county master gave me. The county master should not shirk it from me."

Su Qing rolled her eyes, "If Your Highness does this again, I will buy Zhuangzi elsewhere."

King Jin sighed and had no choice but to compromise and said, "Two hundred and fifty taels doesn't sound good, so just two hundred taels."

"Deal!" Su Qing was not polite and asked Qingzhu to take out the banknote and hand it to King Jin's steward. The steward immediately took out a land deed, signed it, pressed his fingerprints, and the transaction was completed in one go.

The King of Jin asked Su Qing, "When I go back, I will arrange for a group of servants who know how to farm to come to Zhuangzi to help you."

Su Qing shook her head, "No, leave the rest to me. Your Highness, please go and do your own business."
