Two days later, the second batch of fruits arrived in the capital as expected.

Yang Fan opened the letter that Wu Qinghe sent along with the car. The letter said that the stored loquats were used up and the lychees were about to be out of season. This time, the last batch picked by the villa was sent here.He also said that the caravan that went to Nanshao to purchase brought back a whole load of lucuma, papaya and coconuts, and they sent them together this time.

Lucuma is mango, which is grown in the south of Nanshao country, and the locals call it lucuma.Yang Fan tried to get people to plant it in the villa, but unfortunately it didn't work.The coconut was discovered by Yang Fan by accident earlier, and he bought it from a caravan from South Shao.Afterwards, Ji Xiyan also asked Ji Xiyan to research a lot of ways to eat it, and everyone liked it very much.

Coconut is extremely resistant to storage. Coconut juice can be used to prepare various drinks. Coconut meat can be squeezed to make coconut milk, and it can also be made into dishes. It is a very good fruit.It's a pity that the caravan went to Nanshao country so many times, but they never found it.Finally there is good news this time, Yang Fan is very happy

Wu Qinghe wrote that this time the caravan happened to come across a caravan selling this kind of fruit.After inquiring from them, I found out that this kind of fruit is only found on an island outside Haicheng.Knowing that Yang Fan attaches great importance to this kind of fruit, the person in charge of the caravan made a special trip to the island, and negotiated cooperation with the local farmers to buy coconuts from them regularly every year.

After reading the letter, Yang Fan couldn't wait for someone to unload the goods and send them to the ice cellar.

The boxes for transporting fruits are all special thick wooden boxes, with a layer of aluminum sheets nailed inside, and ice cubes are surrounded on all sides when placing the fruits. The team traveled all the way to the capital city.This mode of transportation ensures the freshness of the fruit to the greatest extent.

Boxes of fruit are sent to the ice cellar for preservation, longan, lychee, mango, papaya, persimmon, hawthorn, pomegranate, melon... and the last coconut left.Compared with the fragile lychee, longan and mango, the coconut skin is so strong that it does not need protection at all.Coconuts accounted for half of the more than a dozen carts of fruit, and a few baskets were stacked in the carriage, and a few large pieces of ice were placed symbolically to cool down.

Seeing so many varieties of fruits, the shopkeeper of the tea house couldn't help but smile.

"The old rule is that the ones that can't be stored are taken out of the warehouse first." Yang Fan asked the shopkeeper to register the number of fruits to be supplied to the teahouse the next day, and then asked people to bring a box of picked fruits back to the house.Most of the box of fruit was made of coconuts, so Yang Fan asked Qiuyue to make some desserts for everyone to try.

When Qiuyue was in Fuyuan County, she learned from the chefs of restaurants and teahouses, and soon made a poplar nectar and a coconut milk cake.After so long, I ate mangoes and coconuts again, even Yang Fan, who doesn't like sweets so much, ate a lot, let alone Lin Mozhu, who loves sweets.Seeing that he liked it so much, Yang Fan left most of the plate of coconut milk cake to Lin Mozhu, and opened a coconut to drink coconut milk himself.

After eating delicious food, Lin Mozhu still does not forget his good friend, "I will ask Qiuyue to make some for the princess to try tomorrow, he will definitely like it." Liu Yuyan also loves sweets, every time Lin Mozhu goes to the palace, Liu Yuyan They will let the kitchen make all kinds of desserts, and the two will eat while chatting, which is no different from meeting ordinary friends.

"You don't have to prepare it and send it. Tomorrow, you bring Qiuyue with you and let her teach the chefs in the palace how to make it."

Yang Fan's very generous suggestion, he got so many benefits from King Ning, but he just gave some fruit and taught him how to make a few desserts, and he still took advantage of it.Not to mention the fact that the teahouse business is thanks to having his status in charge, even he bought houses and shops thanks to the big name of Wangfu.If it weren't for King Ning, how could Yaxing, a small businessman who had just arrived in the capital, provide him with such good resources?

Now Yaxing is still helping him search for villas in the suburbs of Beijing, and he has picked a few good locations, and the prices are not expensive.Yang Fan intends to visit again in two days, and if he is satisfied, he will buy it and prepare to build an ice cellar and a greenhouse to grow winter vegetables.

Lin Mozhu didn't think too much about it, he wanted to give Liu Yuyan some food purely because he got along well with Liu Yuyan.After thinking about it, what Yang Fan said made sense. He taught the cooks of the palace, so that Liu Yuyan could eat it every day if he wanted to.

Lin Mozhu really took Qiuyue to the palace the next day. When they arrived, Liu Yuyan was feeding the fish.A few days ago, King Ning got a round tank the size of a table from somewhere, with rockeries, small bridges, bowl lotus planted in it, and a few koi carps.The fish tank is placed near the window in the living room, and Liu Yuyan feeds the fish several times a day.

Seeing Lin Mozhu, Liu Yuyan beckoned him over: "Come and see this."

Seeing such a big fish tank, and the lifelike lotus leaf pond and small bridge house inside, Lin Mozhu was surprised and said: "It's so beautiful, who thought of it so cleverly?"

Hearing Lin Mozhu's words, Liu Yuyan felt a little embarrassed.The maid on the side pursed her lips and smiled, she was Nanny He's daughter, the big maid next to Liu Yuyan.Because Liu Yuyan loves her very much, she is also much bolder in front of her master than ordinary maids.Seeing that Liu Yuyan was embarrassed, she smiled and said to Lin Mozhu: "The prince was worried that our princess would go to the pond to feed the fish to dry in such a hot day, so he came up with such an idea, made this and sent it here."

Hearing what the maid said, and seeing Liu Yuheng still blushing, Lin Mozhu couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled.

Liu Yuyan felt more and more embarrassed seeing them joking so much, so she wanted to change the subject and asked Lin Mozhu, "I haven't seen you for a few days, did you give me any delicious food today?"

Because Liu Yuyan loves to eat fruit, and because of the fruit Yang Fan and the others sent him, this summer he has more appetite than in previous years, he can eat and sleep well, and looks more energetic.After knowing this, Yang Fan simply sent a basket of fruit to Prince Ning's Mansion every two or three days. He usually sent someone to deliver it, but if Lin Mozhu wanted to see Liu Yuyan that day, he would take it with him.Seeing the basket in the hands of Qiuyue who was following Lin Mozhu, Liu Yuyan asked this question.

"It's the newly delivered fruit from my hometown." Lin Mozhu signaled Qiuyue to open the basket, and let Liu Yuyan look at the fruit inside

There were a few big coconuts in the basket, as well as some papayas and mangoes, which Liu Yuyan had never seen before, so she couldn't help but ask, "What kind of fruit are these?"

Lin Mozhu introduced the fruits in the basket to Liu Yuyan one by one, and then said: "I will ask Qiuyue to make some desserts with these fruits for you to try."

Liu Yuyan found it very novel, and quickly asked the maid to take Qiuyue to the kitchen to make it.Lin Mozhu stayed in the room and told Liu Yuyan where these fruits came from, how to eat them, and how they found them.

"Because the pulp is as yellow as the egg yolk, the locals call it lucuma, which is only found in Qiongzhou and Jingzhou in Nanshao. This fruit is very delicious, but many people's skin will itch and develop rashes when it comes into contact with its outer skin , so at first people thought it was poisonous and could not be eaten. Brother Yang said it was called allergy, but in fact it was the mucus on the lucuma peel that would cause allergic reactions in some people.

It's fine when someone peels the skin and doesn't touch it.But for the sake of safety, please take a bite first to see if there are any adverse reactions

"



In fact, this kind of fruit shouldn't be brought to Liu Yuyan who is in poor health, but Lin Mozhu thinks it's a pity that Liu Yuyan can't eat such a delicious fruit.Moreover, Liu Yizheng also said that even if he ate mango allergies, it was only a small problem. He also specially made a detoxification pill, and the rash would disappear within an hour after taking one pill.This time when mangoes were sent to Beijing, a box of detoxification pills made by Liu Yizheng was also sent along with them.

Hearing what Lin Mozhu said, Liu Yuyan was not only not unhappy because Lin Mozhu gave him the fruit that he might not be able to eat, but was very happy.Over the years, due to his poor health, he has always been restricted from doing this and that from eating. It is a joyful thing for him to try something that he has never done before.

"It's okay, I'll try it in a while."

"Princess, don't worry, we started selling desserts made of lucuma in Chihu County last year, and only one or two out of a hundred people will be allergic. And today I also brought the detoxification pills made by the master. It's okay to keep them." .”

When he decided to buy mango desserts, Yang Fan thought about allergies.When the teahouse started selling it, it was clearly stated to the outside world that some people would develop rashes after eating it, so customers who come to eat for the first time must try it first.If you are allergic, not only will you detoxify for free, but you will also be given a tael of silver as compensation.At the beginning, everyone was afraid of death and dared not try, but there were always a few brave ones who liked to try something new, and some came to compensate for the one tael of silver.If someone is the first to eat crabs, more people will follow behind to try.It didn't take long for the mango dessert to become one of the teahouse's signature desserts.

Not long after Lin Mozhu had given Liu Yuyan some fruits, Liu Yuyan came over with Brother Guan.Liu Yuyan's body has been carefully recuperated, and now it is much better. Apart from being prone to lack of energy, there is no serious problem, and now she is still living in the palace with her brother Guan.Brother Guan likes Lin Mozhu, and when he heard that he came to the palace, he felt pretty good today, so Liu Yuyan simply brought Brother Guan over here.

Lin Mozhu often came to the palace, Brother Guan was familiar with him, and whenever he saw someone, he opened his little hands with a smile and called "Daddy".

Lin Mozhu hugged him with a smile, and corrected him: "Wrong, I should call him godfather."

Brother Guan didn't seem to understand, hugged Lin Mozhu's neck, and called out again intimately: "Daddy!" The voice was clear and loud.Everyone present laughed, Liu Yuyan looked at Brother Guan dotingly and said: "He is a small person who has his own ideas, so he can call him Daddy if he likes."

Liu Yuyan also nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, anyway, Brother Guan's first father has been given to the prince, who made his father never come back since he was born."
