I am the county magistrate in Daming

Wu Tingyun stopped his movements, but did not withdraw his sword, forcing Yao Qin to back away from Mu Qingtian.

"I didn't want to diagnose and treat adults back then, but now I do these shady things." He said in a deep voice.

Yao Qin ignored Wu Tingyun, knelt down towards Mu Qingtian, and said: "My lord, that day Yao Qin flinched before the battle and dared not seek medical treatment with your lord. Please forgive me."

"What's wrong with this, get up quickly." Mu Qingtian said, stretching out his tingling and painful tongue.

"The same goes for Ting Yun. We are all brothers, friends, and a family. Put the knife away."

Wu Tingyun saw that Mu Qingtian didn't get angry because of Yao Qin's incompetence, he gave Yao Qin a hard look, put his sword back into the scabbard, walked to the side and stood against the wall.

"Yao Qin failed my lord's expectations, and went to the mountain to pick up this medicinal material to make amends for my lord." In a few words, Yao Qin explained the reason for his disappearance for a whole day.

Mu Qingtian regained his strength, his throat and tongue didn't hurt so much, but his lips were still swollen.He fanned the red mouth with his hand and asked.

"chili?"

"My lord, what is a pepper?" Yao Qin was puzzled.

Undoubtedly, what he tasted was definitely chili pepper, Mu Qingtian was still very confident in his tongue.

Mu Qingtian realized that the names of peppers in the Ming Dynasty and modern times might be different, so he changed his method and asked, "What did you put in the medicine, can you show me?"

"Yes, my lord."

Yao Qin untied a cloth bag from his waist, poured out a few red fruits and handed it to Mu Qingtian.

Mu Qingtian picked up one and took a closer look, then put it under his nose and sniffed it. After confirming that it was pepper, he asked knowingly, "What is this?"

"My lord, this thing is called 'Pianjiao'. It tastes pungent and hot, and it can cure stomach cold, rheumatism and other diseases."

"Spicy pepper..." Mu Qingtian realized that pepper is not a local crop, but imported from a foreign country, just like potatoes.

The ancient people didn't know much about this spicy taste, and they didn't know how to use "spicy" to describe it, so they could only call it "spicy pepper", which means to come.

Wu Tingyun's fingers moved slightly.Pepper is a medicinal material tributed by Fanbang, it is extremely precious, even in the palace, only a very few people can use it.How did Yao Qin know about pepper, and how did he know that pepper can be used as medicine?

"My lord, good medicine tastes bad, and you can recover soon after drinking it." Yao Qin stepped forward and touched the bowl in Mu Qingtian's hand, "The medicine is already cold, I'll make another pot for you."

"No need!" Mu Qingtian hurriedly stopped him.

After knowing that it was pepper, perhaps due to psychological troubles, Mu Qingtian gradually felt the long-lost burning pain in his stomach, as if hundreds of worms were burrowing into his stomach.

Gan!Thinking that he has been abstaining from food for so many years, how could he still not be able to eat a spicy meal in the Ming Dynasty!

"Since it is a good medicine, my lord should bear with it." It was rare for Wu Tingyun and Yao Qin to stand on the same front.

Mu Qingtian protested, and then what?Was suppressed/suppressed, is it useful?Holding the medicine bowl with a sad face, he discussed with Yao Qin and Wu Tingyun for the last time.

"Can I stop drinking, I feel very good now, so good that I don't need to take medicine anymore." In order not to drink medicine, Mu Qingtian even did not hesitate to change his "official position".

"No." The two said in unison.

Mu Qingtian's face fell down, adhering to the belief of never giving up and never giving up, and finally asked: "Look, I was born in Suzhou and grew up in Suzhou. I eat Suzhou rice and drink Suzhou water. I must not be able to bear this kind of trouble." If you eat something that damages your body, isn’t the gain outweigh the loss?”

"Don't worry, my lord." Wu Tingyun scooped out a spoonful of concoction, "It's not bad to eat."

The medicinal materials that he and the emperor's brother and sister-in-law have used will not cause any problems.

In the end, under the "inhumane" "forced" by Wu Tingyun and Yao Qin, Mu Qingtian still drank a whole bowl of decoction, and managed to vomit and diarrhea within an hour, and became king in the latrine.

Wu Tingyun and Yao Qin stood guard at the door of the latrine, looking up at the sky in embarrassment.

"Where did you find out about Panjiao?" Wu Tingyun asked.

"My master, he used to be the imperial physician in the palace."

Wu Tingyun tilted his head slightly in surprise, and said, "The imperial doctor? Which one is it?"

Yao Qin breathed out a turbid breath, looked at the misty sky in the distance, and said, "They are all buried in the earth, why bother to ask."

Wu Tingyun saw that Yao Qin was unwilling to say more, so he didn't continue to ask.As far as he knew, since the emperor's brother ascended the throne, there had been no personnel changes in the imperial hospital, and no imperial physician had returned home.From this point of view, Yao Qin's master should be their father's imperial physician.

Thinking of the situation of Concubine Wan Gui and the imperial physician at that time, Wu Tingyun roughly guessed what happened to Master Yao Qin.

No wonder Yao Qin knew so clearly about Yan Yin during the vegetable banquet, and even knew the names of Ye Qi and Li Guang.

After waiting for a while, Mu Qingtian leaned on the wall and walked out of the toilet in a weak state.Seeing this, Yao Qin hurried up to help him up, Wu Tingyun was not to be outdone, he set up the other side, and sent Mu Qingtian back to his room to rest.

In this situation, Mu Qingtian couldn't help himself, and weakly shouted: "The emperor spares my life, the emperor spares my life! I have been wronged, wronged!"

Wu Tingyun laughed.It's really heartless to not forget to play tricks at such a time.

Yao Qin also noticed that their postures were strange, so he stopped and looked at Wu Tingyun, and said, "I'll send you back to your room."

Wu Tingyun thought for a while, then nodded, and carefully put Mu Qingtian's arm on Yao Qin's shoulder.

"I still have some things, the adults will leave it to you."

Wu Tingyun didn't want to put medicine on Qin and Mu Qingtian to be alone, but he remembered that today was the day Xiao Qi came to report.Yao Qin's identity must be checked, as well as Zhang Fu, who is backing him and giving him the courage to commit murder in broad daylight.

On the way back, Wu Tingyun ran into Jinshan and Yinshan again, and exchanged a few pleasantries.When Jinshan Yinshan was far away, Wu Tingyun looked around again and returned to his room after confirming that there was no one else.

Xiao Qi hid on the beam for about half an hour, and finally waited for Wu Tingyun to come back, and hurriedly jumped down, spraining her foot.

"...After I go back, I will practice again with Mou Bin." Wu Tingyun began to reflect on whether there was something wrong with the way he educated his subordinates.

Xiao Qi rubbed her nose in embarrassment and said, "Yes."

"Is there anything unusual these days?"

"Returning to Your Highness, there is nothing." Xiao Qi said, "However, the matter you asked your subordinates to investigate before has some clues."

Wu Tingyun choked for a moment, stared at Xiao Qi meaningfully for a long time before speaking, and said, "What's the matter? Why doesn't this king remember?"

Xiao Qi didn't receive the hint from her master, so she cupped her fists and said, "Your Highness works day and night, it's really hard. His Highness sent his subordinates to investigate the affair of the Suzhou government's illicit shipping, and his subordinates found out that the hands and feet of several rich merchants were not good enough. clean."

Wu Tingyun wished he could pry open Xiaoqi's head to see if it was full of paste.I used to think that Xiao Qi was the smartest of the nine guards, so I asked him to do the liaison task in the middle.Looking at it now, he is not as smart as Mu Qingtian.

"That's all." Wu Tingyun sighed, "Tell me, what did you find?"

With that said, he picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea.As soon as he brought the tea to his mouth, he heard Xiao Qi say.

"Other areas of Suzhou Prefecture are not unscrupulous, nor are they open to shipping with great fanfare, but Taicang Prefecture is extremely rampant!"

Wu Tingyun almost couldn't hold back a sip of tea.

Taicang Prefecture?Isn't this Mu Qingtian's family? !

"One of them is very rampant. Not only does it do business with foreigners privately, but it also colludes with local officials to sell their officials and nobles!"

Cough cough cough!Wu Tingyun coughed frantically in his heart.

"Okay!" Seeing that Xiao Qi continued to speak with righteous indignation, Wu Tingyun interrupted him hastily.

"Your Highness?"

"Don't investigate this matter any more." Wu Tingyun wiped away the suspicious water stains from the corner of his mouth.If Xiaoqi is allowed to continue the investigation like this, sooner or later, Mu Qingtian's family's ancestral graves will be dug up.

"But……"

"Huh?" Wu Tingyun glanced at him, and Xiao Qi stopped talking.

"Go and find out about a man named 'Yao Qin'. When the late emperor was still there, his master seemed to be an imperial physician in the imperial hospital. Find out which imperial physician it is and why he left the imperial hospital."

"Yes."

After a while.

"What are you still doing here?" Wu Tingyun frowned.

"Your Highness, there is still something about the crystal cup." Xiao Qi pressed her in a low voice.

The crystal cup is different from shipping, it is related to the face of the court.Wu Tingyun thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "This matter needs to be discussed in the long run, and it will be put on hold for now. Don't continue to investigate further."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Xiao Qi didn't understand why the master changed his mind so quickly, but his only mission was to obey orders.As for what the masters are thinking, it is not something they should consider.

After Xiaoqi left, Wu Tingyun pushed open the window, looked at the half of the string music covered by clouds and mists, and let out a long sigh.

It was the first time he had shielded others for personal reasons, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.I hope Mu Qingtian will not disappoint him.

Wu Tingyun was sleepless all night, but Mu Qingtian over there slept soundly.The amazing thing is that after venting for a day, his illness was completely cured the next morning, and he was refreshed, and he did not look weak and sluggish like yesterday at all.

Mu Qingtian didn't think it was due to Chili that he recovered, but Chili gave him another idea.He can't eat spicy food, which doesn't mean that the people of the Ming Dynasty can't eat it.When he was in Taicang Prefecture, he ate lagu in a restaurant, but it was boiled in salt water and had little taste.

Ma Xiao, who can't be rejected by modern people, will definitely be crazy for Ming Dynasty people!

Although Zimingli is remote, it has mountains, water, and good air. It is the best location for a proper natural farmhouse in modern times.Didn't the ancient literati and poets like to wander around? If tourism can be developed here and some famous people from the dynasty can be attracted to visit, it will be able to drive the development of Zimingli.

Action is worse than heartbeat, Mu Qingtian immediately called Yao Qin to the study.

"Yaoqin, where did you find these peppers? Do you have any more?"

"Returning to my lord, the master brought some pepper seeds with him back then, and planted them in the back mountain of Zimingli, in order to study other prescriptions. But after the master left, I was not interested in medical science, so I didn't continue to take care of them. It’s the only pepper left, if adults want mature ones, I’m afraid they won’t be able to find them.”

"Where are the seeds?" Mu Qingtian's heart rose to his throat.Spicy crayfish has no soul without chilli!

"My lord wants to grow peppers?" Yao Qin was surprised, "No one has ever grown peppers in the Central Plains."

"There is no way in this world. If there are many people walking, there will be a way." Mu Qingtian quoted old Mr. Lu Xun's words to bluff Yao Qin, an ancient man, without any guilt.

After hearing this, Yao Qin opened the toilet, looked at Mu Qingtian with admiration, and said, "Your Excellency is so courageous. I still have dozens of pepper seeds here. I will bring them here later, Your Excellency."

"Go and come back quickly." Mu Qingtian said excitedly.

With the chili, the next step is the main ingredient crawfish and the recipe.As a crayfish lover, Mu Qingtian also knows a thing or two about the history of crayfish.The crayfish eaten by modern people was introduced to China around the 20s. It is not a local species, nor was it originally used as food.

It is the Ming Dynasty now, so it is impossible to find real crayfish, but the local freshwater crayfish is very similar in shape to crayfish, and the meat is also very firm and delicious, so it can be used as a substitute for crayfish.

Mu Qingtian doesn't plan to make spicy crayfish by himself, but to be a provider of recipes and a supplier of raw peppers.

To grow peppers, you first need land.The land has been allocated to the common people, and the official land has been taken back, but he cannot use the official land to grow peppers.

For the next few days, Mu Qingtian tried to grow peppers with his own small flowerpots. After wasting four seeds, a thin and small sprout finally emerged from one of the pots.He was overjoyed and rushed out of the room to find Yao Qin to share his joy.

It just so happened that Wu Tingyun passed by Mu Qingtian's house and saw that his door was open, so he walked over to close the door for him, and thoughtfully helped him remove the weeds in the flower pot.

How thoughtful of me.His Highness King Qing was deeply moved by his actions.

"Hurry up, hurry up, it's really sprouting!" Mu Qingtian grabbed Yao Qin's sleeve and ran away.

"My lord, please run slowly, watch your step! Miao can't run, please be careful!" Yao Qin ran behind like an old woman and persuaded.

When they got to the house, both of them were silent.

"Ah, Miao seems to have really run away?" Yao Qin looked at the empty flowerpot, thinking that Mu Qingtian was hallucinating from a demon, and quickly comforted him.

"It's that bastard who pulled out my seedlings!!!!!!"

His Highness Prince Qing, who was lying on the roof basking in the sun, sneezed.

"Tsk, it's time for Xiaoqi to bring winter clothes over."

Although Yao Qin was not allowed to see the pepper seedlings and was misunderstood as if he had hallucinations, Mu Qingtian knew that he had indeed successfully cultivated peppers.After mastering the temperature and humidity, the next step is to find a place.

After much deliberation, Mu Qingtian gave up the idea of ​​secretly using official fields to grow peppers.If found out, he would definitely be sent to the government to be punished.

But if the official land cannot be planted, it can only be planted with the private land.But he just helped the people in Zimingli to take back their fields. At this time, asking for fields to plant something they have never seen in their life is tantamount to slapping him in the face.When Zhang Fu rushed to the door, those people were willing to help him. He was already very happy and surprised, which showed that the people were accepting him step by step.

Mu Qingtian mourned for several days, Wu Tingyun and Yao Qin asked a few times, but they didn't ask anything.

"My lord, you said that we are all one family." Yao Qin sat across from Mu Qingtian and said, "Since we are a family, we should have the same blessings and share the same hardships."

"If the adults don't say it, we will be considered outsiders." Wu Tingyun added.

"It's not that I don't want to trouble you." Mu Qingtian said weakly as he slumped on the table.

Yao Qin smiled and said, "Why are you afraid of trouble when your lord helps us?"

Mu Qingtian raised his head and looked at the two very reliable people in front of him. After thinking about it, he felt that what they said was not bad, so he told them about the difficulty of growing peppers.

"My lord, if these peppers are really planted, what do you plan to do?" Wu Tingyun asked with a bit of reason as it was related to the land.

"Sell." Mu Qingtian said firmly.

"Sell?" Yao Qin shook his head after hearing this, "My lord, although pepper is expensive, ordinary people don't even know it's precious, let alone its existence, so it's hard to sell."

Wu Tingyun also agreed with Yao Qin's statement.He wasn't worried about the opinion of the emperor's brother, because after all, the pepper was brought as a tribute from Fanbang, and it was a novelty to use it as a medicine.In terms of luxury, the thousand-year-old ginseng in the palace and the century-old Ganoderma lucidum are completely incomparable with pepper.But it is absolutely impossible to sell it at a high price in order to be "precious".

"Whoever said pepper must be rare and valuable." Mu Qingtian didn't continue to explain, leaving only a mysterious sentence.

"I know it in my heart. Given time, it's not us selling it, but someone else coming to ask for it."

Seeing that Mu Qingtian was so determined, Yao Qin did not discourage him, and suggested: "Official fields cannot be planted, and private fields are not easy to talk about, but have you forgotten, not everyone does not have their own fields."

"Lord Mu?" He Shengcai opened the door, and saw Mu Qingtian standing outside smiling with his hands in his hands.

After hearing Mu Qingtian's intentions, He Shengcai felt uneasy, but in order to repay Mu Qingtian's kindness in allocating the land, he still allocated an acre from his own land to Mu Qingtian.

Mu Qingtian asked for an egg from He Shengcai, and said: "With this egg as proof, I will only charge you with one egg as a reward. After that, the things grown in this mu of land, including the money that can be exchanged , it's all yours."

In this way, Mu Qingtian went to six more families, and made a promise with them with six eggs.

Including the egg before, he now has eight eggs in his hand, and only two are left in the task of ten!

Humming a little tune, Mu Qingtian first sowed all the remaining chili seeds in the field of He Shengcai's family, and squatted on the ridge of the field every day to take care of them. After seven days, he got a row of vigorous and strong pepper seedlings.

However, moments of joy are always interrupted by people who don't have eyes.

Zhang Fu waited in the mansion in fear for half a month but did not see Wu Tingyun move. He was so angry and impatient that he finally couldn't sit still and sent Nian Shun to Lizheng/Mansion to inquire about the news.

After Nian Shun brought the gift to Lizheng's mansion, the door was turned away, and he never saw Mu Qingtian.He didn't dare to go back, afraid of being punished by Zhang Fu, so he could only arrest people in the village and interrogate Mu Qingtian's whereabouts.

"Morning Mu, look, what a coincidence." Nian Shun saw Mu Qingtian who was sitting on the ridge of the field, and trotted over.

"Stop!" Mu Qingtian yelled, "Back!"

Nian Shun withdrew his feet, and took a few steps back in a daze.

If it weren't for Mu Qingtian's quick reaction, the few pepper seedlings would have been ruined by Nian Shun's boots.

"grown ups……"

"Hush—" Mu Qingtian didn't give Nian Shun a chance to speak, stretched out his fingers, and tapped left and right.

"good morning, good night."

Then, he lowered his wrist, pointed to the ground, and said, "It's better to be buried in the ground."

Nian Shun's face darkened in an instant, staring at Mu Qingtian's hand and asked: "The grass people have no malicious intentions, why did your lord insult me?"

Mu Qingtian clapped his hands indifferently, and said, "The butler Nian misunderstood, I was talking about rice seeds."

"Instead of saying 'good morning' and 'good afternoon' to the rice seeds every day, wouldn't it be best to bury them in the soil?"

Nian Shun smiled stiffly and said, "So that's what your lord said."

No matter how flattering Nian Shun was, how cleverly he tried to tempt him, it was as if a wall of iron and steel had been erected around Mu Qingtian, completely invulnerable.He also didn't accept gifts from Zhang Fu, and never gave Zhang Fu a chance.

He had already paid back the emerald cabbage with a crystal cup, and now they owed nothing to anyone.Ah—no, speaking of it, Zhang Fu owes him his life.

After hearing Nian Shun's report, Zhang Fu became furious and smashed everything in the house that could be smashed.Nian Shun ran out before Zhang Fu got angry, so as to avoid disaster.After Zhang Fu finished smashing, a sneaky figure flashed past the corner.

"You mean, Zhang Fu became very angry?"

"Yes, yes, I have seen it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears."

"Take it, get out."

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!" The servant greedily looked at the sling of money in his hand, carefully hid it in his pocket, thanked him and ran away quickly.

Wu Tingyun turned around with a calculating smile on his face.

The person who tipped him off just now is one of Zhang Fu's servants, he likes to gamble.Once he stole Zhang Fu's money to /gamble/shop, but was caught by Xiao Qi.Since then, this person has become an eyeliner they planted in Zhang's residence.

"Little Qi."

A white figure fell from the tree, "The subordinate is here!"

"Go spread the news, say that Mr. Mu from Taicang Prefecture bribed people from Suzhou Mansion to escort his son. Don't spread too much, just let Zhang Fu know."

"Yes, my subordinate understands."

Dogs jump over walls when they are in a hurry. Zhang Fu's fox tail has not been exposed yet, how can he just step down like this?He hasn't seen enough of this good show.

"Oh, wait a minute." Wu Tingyun called Xiao Qi to stop, "Bring me three eggs."

???

"Go soon?" Wu Tingyun glanced at Xiao Qi.

"Yes, my subordinates will go now."

Mu Qingtian feels refreshed after finishing the Nian Shun, and can eat eight bowls of rice in one sitting!The growth of the pepper seedlings is also very gratifying, and they should bloom soon.

He hummed "My Motherland/Country" and walked home against the setting sun, when he suddenly felt three round objects not far away calling him.

egg! ! !

Mu Qingtian put down the basket and flew over, plopped and knelt down in front of the three eggs, picked them up with tears in his eyes, wiped them carefully on his clothes, as if treating some kind of treasure.

No, no!Mu Qingtian turned his head, with a pained expression on his face.It is a fine tradition of the Chinese / Chinese / nation / nation to pick up money without shame, he can't do this!

But the eggs are really delicious!Only need two!He can complete the advanced task!

Mu Qingtian turned his head back, put down one egg, and only took the two he needed.No matter whose eggs it is, he is just "borrowing" two now, and after the task is completed, he can change the props, he can go to the county to buy hundreds of chickens, and send a few to every household!It is not difficult to borrow and repay.

After Mu Qingtian left, Wu Tingyun came out from the shadow behind the tree and came to the place where Mu Qingtian was standing just now.He bent down to pick up the egg left by Mu Qingtian, and smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Although he didn't know why Mu Qingtian liked eggs so much, he didn't mind using a little trick to make Mu Qingtian happy.Seeing Mu Qingtian's smile, his mood improved unconsciously.

Back in Lizheng/Mansion, Mu Qingtian couldn't wait to call out the mall, and the advanced task turned gray as expected, and the points increased by 150.He opened the warehouse and clicked on the latest props.

[Crop ripening potion.How to use: Mix the medicine and fertilizer at a ratio of 1:100 to accelerate the growth of various plants. 】

[Congratulations on completing the advanced task [-], and now the advanced task [-] is released: Greed for a hundred catties of tea.Task duration: six months. 】

Mu Qingtian was dumbfounded before he could finish his joy.A hundred catties of tea leaves, winter is coming soon, where can he get a hundred catties of tea leaves? !

"Forget it, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge. There are still six months left, so slowly figure out a way." Mu Qingtian thought happily.

He opened the mall and found that the third and fourth pages were open, and hurriedly looked for something good that could be exchanged for points.

"This is it!"

[Do you want to use 110 points to redeem "One Hundred Home Cooking Dishes"? 】

Mu Qingtian chose "Yes" without hesitation.

A thick cookbook appeared in his hand out of thin air, almost crushing his delicate wrist.

"As expected of a system, it's true and sincere." Mu Qingtian held the book in his hand and began to flip through the catalog, and found the recipe of spicy crayfish after a while.

Mu Qingtian's good news came one after another, and Zhang Fu, who had been worried for a month, finally received his good news.

The county magistrate of Chongming County was very satisfied with the crystal cup he presented, and hooked up with him.Zhang Fu didn't care how proud Mu Qingtian was, so he packed up his luggage and went to Chongming County to visit the county magistrate.

Hmph, when he climbs up to the county magistrate, you, Mu Qingtian, will be the one to look at!

When he arrived in Chongming County, Zhang Fu waited outside the county government for an entire hour before he finally met Yao Jingdao, the magistrate of Chongming County.Zhang Fu was dissatisfied, but his face was full of flattery.

"Hey, Master Zhang." Yao Jingdao walked over, "Master Zhang has been waiting for a long time."

"Where is it. Master Yao has a lot of work to do, and he took the time to meet with Zhang. It is really lucky for Zhang."

"Hahahahaha." Yao Jingdao laughed loudly, "Don't talk about these polite things, Mr. Zhang please."

"Don't dare, my lord please."

With their own ghosts in mind, the two walked into the county government office of Chongming County one after the other.

After drinking for three rounds, the two are already brothers.Zhang Fu was the first to ask: "Brother Yao, have you ever heard of the character 'Mu Qingtian'?"

"I've heard of it, why haven't I heard of it! Speaking of which, he is now doing Lizheng on Brother Zhang's territory, right?"

"Hey, it's good that you know." Zhang Fu showed embarrassment.

Yao Jingdao was unhappy when he saw it, and said, "Why, did he offend Brother Zhang?"

Zhang Fu turned black and white, described Mu Qingtian as a bully who oppressed the people, and complained to Yao Jingdao.

"Beside him is a young man named Wu Tingyun, who actually has the token of the prefect of Suzhou Prefecture in his hand!" Zhang Fu pretended to be afraid.

This is his real purpose.A few days ago, people in the mansion heard rumors that Wu Tingyun was not from Prince Qing at all, but a thug sent by Mu Qingtian's father to protect Mu Qingtian.

"What bullshit token!" Yao Jingdao was completely drunk, and almost hit Zhang Fu in the face with a wave of his hand.

"His idiot father has no other skills. It's really good to make money, and it's really good for his only son. Haha, brother Zhang, to tell you the truth, it took Mu Yushi 100 taels to buy one for his son. Li Zheng, are you stupid or not, are you stupid! Hahahahahahahaha..."

"Stupid! Stupid! It's hopeless!" Zhang Fu rolled his eyes quickly, echoing Yao Jingdao.

"What Wu, what is Wu?"

"Wu Tingyun." Zhang Fu reminded.

"Oh yes, Wu Tingyun, Mu Yushi must have hired him with money. Money can make ghosts turn the clock, not to mention Suzhou Mansion, but Shuntian Mansion!"

Seeing that Yao Jingdao's words were getting more and more outrageous, Zhang Fu was afraid that the walls would have ears, so he quickly stopped him and said, "Brother Yao, you are drunk, you are drunk."

"Hi." Yao Jingdao hiccupped, "I'm not drunk! Drink! Let's continue to drink, if you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

With Yao Jingdao's guarantee, Zhang Fu's heart fell to the ground, and he was not afraid of Mu Qingtian, so he drove back to Zimingli without staying in Chongming County for a few days.

Before leaving, Yao Jingdao assured him that within a few months, he would definitely send someone to Zimingli to support him.

After returning to Zimingli, Zhang Fu kept Yao Jingdao's words in mind and did not act rashly.But seeing Mu Qingtian having a happy life, he felt unhappy and always wanted to find some little troubles.

Mu Qingtian was surrounded by flies all day long, it was impossible to say that he didn't bother him.But now is a critical period for the growth of peppers and rice, and if nothing else, they will mature at the same time.In order not to conflict with Zhang Fu and affect the growth of peppers and rice, Mu Qingtian could only bear with it and settle accounts after autumn.

It was not only Mu Qingtian who was holding his breath, but also everyone in Lizheng/Mansion.Especially Wu Tingyun, who hated Mu Qingtian being bullied the most, wanted to take out the prince's badge several times and send troops to raid Zhang Fu's house.

"Calm down, don't worry about everything." Mu Qingtian calmly said to everyone, "Those who achieve great things have a broad mind and don't care about trivial matters."

Two months later, the chili planted by Mu Qingtian finally matured and bear fruit.Thanks to Mu Qingtian's careful care, every fruit is so full that it is about to swell, and the color is also bright red one by one.

"It smells so good." Fu Bao sniffled, and the saliva immediately filled his entire mouth.

"Ah Choo." Cui Zhu, who was carrying the laundry tub, sneezed loudly after smelling the strange smell in the air.

The fragrance wafted from the kitchen of Lizheng/Mansion, and was carried by the wind to every corner of Zimingli.

"What is this smell? Why is it so fragrant."

"Ma'am, are you cooking?"

"Mom, I'm hungry."

……

Everyone came following the scent, and finally all gathered at the gate of Lizheng/Mansion.

"My lord, this, this is amazing." The old woman in charge couldn't believe that such a delicious dish was made by her.

"Haven't tasted it yet." Mu Qingtian blinked, "Out of the pot!"

That night, everyone in Zimingli was immersed in the dream of "spicy lagu".

Sure enough, as Mu Qingtian expected, people in the Ming Dynasty ate light food, and they had never eaten such delicious food, and they were immediately fascinated by the taste of spicy crayfish.

He called Wu Tingyun and Yao Qin to the study, proudly pinched a chili fruit, and said, "Now, how much do you think it can sell for?"

Both were silent.They never imagined that Mu Qingtian actually added hot pepper as a condiment to the dish, and made a peerless dish.

"My lord, don't make fun of us." Yao Qin smiled ashamedly.

His Royal Highness Prince Qing, who thought he was well-informed, had the feeling of looking at the sky from a well for the first time.He looked at Mu Qingtian and his bright side face, his heart beating like a drum.

Ma Xiao has done it, but it's not over yet.Now only the people from Zimingli know the charm of Ma Xiao. He needs to promote this dish and open up the market of chili peppers.

Who to promote?

Mu Qingtian carefully converted the grams of seasoning on the recipe into units of measurement that the ancients could understand, and then dictated the recipe to Wu Tingyun for him to record.

The next day, Wu Tingyun escorted Mu Qingtian and a basket of peppers to Chongming County.

"Mu Lizheng!" Fu Shou Tang was resting, and the steward saw Mu Qingtian at the door at a glance, and hurried out to greet him.

"How's the manager doing?" Mu Qingtian smiled kindly.

Wu Tingyun stood behind Mu Qingtian and helped him take off the fur cloak, folded it and put it on his arm, his fingers touched the rabbit fur with Mu Qingtian's body temperature.

"Thanks to you, everything is fine." The steward quickly cleared a table, and invited Mu Qingtian and Wu Tingyun to sit down.

"Jiqing, serve Mu Lizheng a few good dishes and a jug of good wine!" He shouted to a waiter not far away.

"okay!"

After finishing speaking, the steward turned back to Mu Qingtian and said, "Are you here on business in Chongming County today? If you still haven't booked an inn, why don't you stay in our building and don't charge you, it's cleaner and more comfortable than the inn outside .”

Mu Qingtian smiled unabated, and said, "That's how I thank the steward. But I'm here today not for business, but for private matters." He lowered his head and waved to the steward, "There's a big deal, I don't know if Fushoutang would like to unwilling to do it."

"Ah, this..." The steward hesitated.

"Don't worry about being in charge, it's a serious business."

Because he had worked with Mu Qingtian before, and because Mu Qingtian was kind to them at Fushoutang, the manager decided to accept this favor after careful consideration.

"Mu Li is coming later, I'm going to invite the boss."

The boss of Fushoutang was also very happy when he heard that Mu Qingtian had come.He is a businessman, not as cautious as a manager, so he asked directly: "I don't know what business the young master is talking about?"

Mu Qingtian blinked, and said, "I don't know if there are fresh crayfish in the boss's shop?"

"Yes, I just fished it out of the stream this morning."

"Then ask the boss to give me a stove, and we will see the result when we have dinner."

At the second quarter of the day, the number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased, and the Fushou Hall began to entertain guests.

"What is this smell? Why is it so fragrant!"

All the people who pass by Fushoutang will stop for a while and smell the smell in the air.

The guests sitting in the Fushou Hall shouted: "Xiaoer! What kind of food are you cooking in this restaurant? Why is it so choking!"

Xiao Er ran over quickly, and replied according to what Mu Qingtian told him: "Guest officer, this is a new dish in our restaurant, called 'Spicy Laguna'."

"Strange name, hahahahahaha." Everyone laughed.

Xiao Er scratched his head and continued, "The name is a bit strange, but the taste is not. Today, our shop is giving away a free laxative. You might as well try it."

One of the men snatched up a gizzard, and burst into tears immediately.Seeing him like this, the others thought there was something wrong with the dish, and just about to ask for responsibility, the man picked up the wine jar and took a big gulp of wine.

"Ah - cool! Very cool!"

"It's really so delicious?" Others didn't believe it, and picked one from the plate and put it in their mouths.

The owner of Fu Shou Tang stood at the entrance of the shop and watched the queues lined up to the street corner, crying.

This is an industry handed down from his ancestors, and it has declined somewhat in his generation.If Mu Qingtian hadn't helped him, he would have sold this restaurant a few months ago.

He also said that he had never seen the Fushou Hall full of seats.

"Boss, boss, don't cry." The steward ran out of the room in a hurry, with tears in his eyes from the hot pepper.

"What?" The boss of Fushoutang wiped away tears in embarrassment.

"There is no place in the lobby, and the team outside is not short at all, so what should we do?"

At this time, Mu Qingtian came out from the backyard wearing his own fur cloak, and said to the boss of Fushoutang, "How, is the boss willing or unwilling to do this business?"

"Yes! Yes!" The boss held Mu Qingtian's hand tightly and nodded repeatedly.

Wu Tingyun stared at the boss's hand, feeling uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it, and raised his hand to separate the two hands.

"Benefactor, please come inside!"

In the backyard, the excited heart of the owner of Fushoutang calmed down a little.

Mu Qingtian took out the recipe copied by Wu Tingyun and handed it to the boss, saying: "This is the recipe for spicy laguna, I will only sell it to your family."

The boss thought that Mu Qingtian wanted him to make an offer, so he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, benefactor,
