Of course, Jiang Fan didn't ask this question for no reason.He came to town with Guan Xiujin today, and when he entered the seed shop, he smelled a familiar smell, but he couldn't remember what it was for a moment.

When Boss Xiao was asked by Jiang Fan, he immediately smiled and said, "Boss Jiang really hit the mark, and I just wanted to show it to you."

Then Jiang Fan saw Boss Xiao carefully bringing over a flower pot with lush green plants in it.

Boss Xiao said: "This is a seed that my people bought from merchants from other countries. It is said to be coriander, a kind of seasoning vegetable."

After the flowerpot was brought over, Jiang Fan didn't feel anything, and Guan Xiujin couldn't help but frown.

Boss Xiao noticed it, and said with a smile: "This dish tastes really weird. Those who like it think it smells good, and those who don't like it think it smells extremely bad."

Jiang Fan looked at Guan Xiujin and laughed twice, "If you don't like to smell this, just stand by the door."

Guan Xiujin said: "Are you used to smelling it?"

Jiang Fan said: "I think it's quite fragrant." Isn't the coriander that Boss Xiao mentioned is the coriander that Jiang Fan used to eat in his previous life.This thing is indeed divided into two extremes, those who love to death, and those who hate to death, Jiang Fan happens to belong to the former.

Boss Xiao smiled and said: "It seems that Boss Jiang and I are of the same kind. I also think the smell of coriander is good."

Jiang Fan said, "Has Boss Xiao ever eaten?"

Boss Xiao said: "That's not the case."

"But there are still seeds?"

"Yes, I know that Boss Jiang loves the ones I haven't seen before, so I specially reserved them for Boss Jiang."

Jiang Fan thanked him with a smile: "Boss Xiao has a heart."

Boss Xiao has constant temperature trees in his store, which are like spring all year round. He has planted several pots of coriander, and the coriander that comes out is tender and good.Boss Xiao gave Jiang Fan two pots, Zhang Shumo hugged one pot, and Feng Yi hugged one pot.

Because Guan Xiujin was not used to the smell, Jiang Fan didn't torture his nose, and the two walked ahead, leaving Zhang Shumo and Feng Yi behind.

Zhang Shumo also felt that the smell was nothing when he held it, Feng Yi was just like his master, his brows furrowed unconsciously.

"Does it smell that bad?" Zhang Shumo asked Feng Yi curiously in a low voice.

Feng Yi frowned and said, "Do you know Jiuxiang Chong?"

Zhang Shumo shook his head.

Feng Yi said: "I'll catch one for you some other day, it smells even worse than it." Feng Yi paused, "Forget it, I guess I caught it for you, you can smell it, too."

Zhang Shumo: "..."

Today is a rare cloudy day, the temperature is low, and there is a strong wind blowing, people will not feel unbearably hot when walking outside. Taking advantage of this weather, Jiang Fan came out for a trip.The main reason is to go to Hongjia Village to look at the two small hills. Now in mid-August, it has been more than a month since I bought it, and it is about to be finished.Jiang Fan just went to plan and see what kind of flowers are planted in which fields.

Then a distillation room will be built at the foot of the mountain, relevant distillation equipment will be prepared, and experienced people who understand this industry will be recruited.These are all going on at the same time, and Jiang Fan asks about the progress from time to time.

When Jiang Fan and the others were walking from the small town to the village, they happened to meet Miao San and the others who came back this time.

This time, there were many more people who came back with Miao San and the others, and they had to rent several carriages to carry them all.Among these people were those selected by Xiu Jin, as well as boatmen and sailors Jiang Fan recruited from the outside world with experience in sailing.

After they sign the contract, they will stay in Lishan Village for a period of time, and Jiang Fan will give them some food to recuperate their bodies, so that when they go to sea in the future, their bodies will be much stronger and they will not get sick easily.

The three sea-going ships under construction have come to an end, and they will be able to receive the ships in October. Miao San and the others have made preparations in advance. Once October comes, they will be familiar with the sea-going ships and they will be able to go to sea.

Miao San was the same as before, the first thing he did when he returned to the village was to hand over the account books of Shangjing to Jiang Fan.

The account book records the details of the income of various goods, skin care products, silk fabrics, various fruits, new teas, and after May of this year, a large amount of income from white sugar was added.

Just as Jiang Fan thought, once white sugar appeared, it was favored by customers who love sweets. Even though its nutritional value is not as high as sucrose, people still prefer it over sucrose.

The things in Baizhen Pavilion are not wholesale, except for the occasional "discount event", other times you buy more or less, and the price is the same.Many businessmen now have figured out the rules of Baizhen Pavilion's merchant ships arriving in Beijing, and they often prepare bank notes and tools before the goods disembark.A few times, when the goods got off the ship, many people rushed to buy them before they were put on the counter. Fortunately, none of the people Jiang Fan invited were ordinary people. Miao San and the others were all tall and strong. There are crowds of people rushing to buy, and the goods are sold on the counter.

Because of the color of the white sugar, it became a hot commodity as soon as it was on the counter. Miao Santou brought several thousand catties of sugar at a time, but the consumption of the people in Shangjing and the purchases of merchants from all over the place were far from enough.

As soon as the white sugar came out, ordinary people were amazed at the beautiful color of the white sugar, and the smart ones set their sights on the sucrose decolorization technology.What these people were able to do at first was just to try out from the clerks of Jiaoyan Pavilion and Baizhen Pavilion. Later, someone deliberately followed the address to find Lishan Village, and secretly contacted those who signed a contract with Jiang Fan, mainly responsible for the decolorization technology. work.

It was clearly written in the contract signed between these skilled workers and Jiang Fan that if the decolorization technique is successful, not only will each of them receive a bonus of thousands of taels, but they will also get a commission every time they sell a prescription.Before this technology is broken by others, their income is steady and steady.

The most important thing is that they were revealed by Jiang Fan in a small way. They researched this recipe, and the people above already knew about it. When the right time came, their names would be recorded in the annals of history.

What an honor to be recorded in the annals of history, to have a positive reputation!If you break the contract and miss out on this glory just for that little profit, isn't that what a fool would do?

So no matter how hard those people tried, these workers refused to let go.Those people dare not come to be tough, as long as they know Jiaoyan Pavilion and Baizhen Pavilion, who doesn't know that the owner behind this store is a good friend of Wang An, and he dares to pull out the tiger's beard blatantly when he is impatient.

These people stayed in Belvedere for a while, seeing that nothing was going to work, they left disappointed, but some changed their strategy and came to visit Li Jiangfan on their own initiative.

Naturally, these people's petty actions couldn't be hidden from Jiang Fan's eyes. He was already on guard against this aspect, and the technicians they found even took the initiative to tell him about it.

It's also fortunate that these people didn't do anything excessive, otherwise Jiang Fan would have made a note of it.Those who came to visit him, he didn't close the door. He kept the prescription to sell money for business. If the other party wanted to sell it, then he sold it.

Not long after that, the cane sugar room in Fushui Village stopped pressing, and the restart will have to wait for the harvest of sugar cane from various places this year. Although the quality is not as good as that grown by ourselves, but with the decolorization technology in hand, even ordinary white sugar is more expensive than ordinary cane sugar. Make a small profit.

People from Fushui Village were hired to manage the sugarcane fields in Fushui Village. After such a long time, the sugarcane stalks that hadn't moved before had begun to germinate again.This is because Jiang Fan has nutrients. The sugarcane he grows has a short growth time and high sugar content.Guan Xiujin took the tops of sugarcane from Jiang Fan to make seeds at that time, and they were also affected to a certain extent. Compared with sugarcane from other places, the growth period was shorter.I received a letter the other day, saying that there was a severe drought this year, but the sugarcane in the field was growing well. It is estimated that it will be harvested in three or four months, that is, in November or December this year.

In the evening, Uncle Zhang cooked boiled fish, which he learned a long time ago through Jiang Fan's guidance.A lot of fresh and tender coriander was placed under the boiled fish this night, topped with fish fillets, and the coriander at the bottom was scalded at a low temperature, which tasted the most suitable.

Jiang Fan felt very sorry for Guan Xiujin. He couldn't eat coriander in the first place. How could this kind of vegetable exist in this world? Is the meaning of life just to revenge the society?After trying it a few times, I like it more and more each time, and then I like it so much that if I go to a small restaurant to eat some beef noodles, I must add more coriander.

Although it was a pity that Guan Xiujin might miss a delicacy, Jiang Fan did not force Guan Xiujin to try it.

Jiang Fan found that Guan Xiujin is much more self-willed now than when he first met him, and it can't be said that he is willful, but casual.Jiang Fan remembered that when they had just met, Guan Xiujin once stayed at his house for dinner, and that meal included boiled fish.There is no way to boil fish here. Jiang Fan thought it was delicious, so he warmly recommended Guan Xiujin to try it. Guan Xiujin didn’t like fish at that time, and Jiang Fan’s family had no place to raise fish. The fish I bought were all ordinary river fish, with a strong earthy smell, so I didn't like it even more, but he didn't say anything at the time, and took two bites with his chopsticks... the side dishes inside.

It's not like now, Jiang Fan's mouth is watering before he smells the aroma, but Guan Xiujin's eyes are very indifferent, he has no intention of poking his chopsticks over there, and the delicious side dishes in the past are not worth mentioning to him interest.

Jiang Fan thinks this is pretty good. Being a person with obvious emotions should be happier than a person who seems to be neither sad nor happy.

It was just getting dark, and suddenly it began to rain heavily.

It was raining and the wind didn't stop. Jiang Fan and Guan Xiujin sat in the Rain Watching Building, and found a window where the rain couldn't reach. The well-lit Lishan Village said to Guan Xiujin, "I'm determined to breathe a sigh of relief."

The little emperor had been in correspondence with Guan Xiujin in the past, but after meeting Jiang Fan, Jiang Fan was added to the list of correspondents. The two of them saw in the little emperor's letters more than once that he was worried about this year's autumn harvest.

Although the little emperor stockpiled a lot of food in advance, the drought this year was nationwide. The food he hoarded was still a drop in the bucket for the huge food-deficient population, so it could only be postponed for a while. I thought this day would last forever It's the autumn harvest, but tonight's heavy rain can be said to be timely rain. Not only did the people who were anxious about the autumn harvest breathe a sigh of relief, but so did the little emperor. With this rain, at least the crops in the fields will not fail.

While everyone was cheering for the rain, a boat carrying people docked in the heavy rain at a wharf near the Belvedere River, and a tall man walked out of the boat, walking very slowly , obviously walked very carefully, but just like that, when he lifted his foot to the shore, his raised right foot tripped over his left foot, his body tilted, and with a bang, the whole person fell headlong into the river, and when he fell into the water, Unfortunately, his head bumped against a nearby rock.

"I really can't come to this place..." The man was thinking in a daze before fainting.

"Someone fell into the water!"

This scene in the heavy rain, in anyone's opinion, was only caused by this person's careless walking. After the pedestrians hurried, causing a brief commotion, only the sound of the wind accompanied by the rain fell.

The author has something to say:

Jiuxiang worm, we call it a fart worm, it really stinks!I didn’t like cilantro when I was in junior high school. At that time, seeing cilantro was like seeing a group of spankers.Then I thought, why do I not like it when others like it?Obsessive-compulsive disorder forced me to eat a few times, and I loved it when I came back.There is also Zheergen, which is also the same process. The only thing I can’t beat now is bitter gourd. I force myself to eat it every time. It can be said that I cried while eating...
