Once magnificent, now brilliant

Now that he was determined to open a pickle shop, Qi Xiang immediately wrote a letter to Master, asking in detail about the pickles that Master Okawachi had eaten, and marked out those that would suit the tastes of people in Beijing.Because the pickles in some places are very popular in the local area, but the taste will be very strong. If they are sold in Beijing, the customers are limited, so it is not worth the trouble.

For Cai Luo's new store, Qi Xiang and Xian Xuan have booked a few places together, and finally it depends on whether the rent is suitable.I didn't pick those cities that were comparable to Jingzhong, but picked the next level.There is no shortage of good clothing stores in the bustling city, and the competition is too great.They were able to gain a foothold in Beijing because of their family relationships, and the families of various officials were willing to support them, which was Cailuo's main source of income in the early stage.But if you put it in other places, I am afraid it will not be so popular. Instead of head-to-head, it is better to operate with a small capital and make money steadily.

In addition to these, Qi Xiang and Bai Junyu also left Xianzhen in the courtyard to watch the land as they said before, and the two of them went to the surrounding towns to play for a few days.

It's not easy for Xianzheng to join in the fun, it seems that he is too in the way, and he occupies their yard to live freely, it seems that it is right to show them the door for a few days.He also seriously considered whether to ask the old farmer to help him look at the vegetables while Qi Xiang was away.But thinking of Bai Junyu's words, he still gave up—as long as Qi Xiang is happy.It might not be what Qi Xiang wants for him to toss about, but it's boring.

Xian Xuan lived here for more than a month before returning to Beijing.If he didn't need him to go back and look at the storefront of the pickle shop in advance, he could still stay for a while.

After Qi Xiang came back, she still took care of her dishes meticulously every day.The climbing frame is also put on, it is not beautiful, but compared with the result, this kind of detail is not important.

The maturity time of vegetables is relatively short, and some of them can already be harvested in more than three months.Originally, I wanted Bai Ru to be sent to the middle of the capital for the elders to have a taste of, but Xianzheng has found a shop there, so Qi Xiang needs to go back and make a reservation, and then name it so that it can be used as a plaque.

Qi Xiang thought about it, more than half of the former Pathfinder soldiers entered the barracks of Zhongning Hou, which was the barracks of General Fengbei before, and the rest wanted to leave the capital and live a more leisurely life, so Qi Xiang also gave it to them. He paid enough money so that they could come back to him anytime they needed.Some of them continued to follow him into the Qi residence to do chores.The Qi residence is not big and the population is simple, so there is nothing to be busy with, but those people are used to being busy, and they are not used to being idle all of a sudden, so they go to the house where the master is away to help grow herbs when they have nothing to do.Qi Xiang plans to arrange for his own people to be the shopkeeper, waiter and helper in this shop, so that everyone has something to do, so that they don't have to find something to do every day, which is quite troublesome.

Bringing their own vegetables and hiring a temporary worker to help look after the vegetable fields, Qi Xiang and Bai Junyu set off for Beijing.

Qi Xiang has already discovered that the vegetables he grows are much smaller than those sold in the street market, and he also feels that they are a little too much to handle, but he has brought them all, so it is not easy to waste them.Of course, he didn't blame Bai Junyu for not telling him earlier that Bai Junyu was the one who agreed on everything now, and it was impossible to hit him.This was also Bai Junyu's kindness, and he had no reason to be dissatisfied.

"How about... let's buy some decent vegetables and take them home? Don't they look better?" Qi Xiang rarely feels that he can't make a deal, and this time counts it as one.

Bai Junyu said: "It's not necessary, what's important is your heart. If you look good on the outside, you may be even more uncomfortable in your heart."

Qi Xiang hammered him, "Aren't I afraid that my uncle and aunt will look at my face and see this dish and really don't know where to boast, and it will only increase the embarrassment?"

"It's all a family, what's the embarrassment? Don't think too much. Anyway, what you give to the elders is just a heart, and we should eat more. We can just do what we think is good."

"Are you trying to comfort yourself?"

Bai Junyu laughed, "I really think it's good. And when we eat it, don't we also think it tastes good?"

"That's true." When the dish was just ripe, they couldn't help but eat it a few times, and the taste was really good.

Back in Beijing, Qi Xiang went back to Qi's house first.Seeing the dishes Qi Xiang brought back, Shi Zhou nodded and said, "Not bad, it's quite decent. Let the kitchen cook it tonight. Butler Pan pickled dried radishes yesterday and said to serve you with porridge. You should eat more today. "

Qi Xiang smiled, "Okay, I'll give it to the Houfu in a while.

After delivery, come back to eat. "

Butler Pan looked at the vegetables Qi Xiang brought back, and said with emotion: "Young Master, you can grow vegetables, and you are getting more and more capable."

Qi Xiang felt that Steward Pan had exaggerated a bit, "The planting is not good, it's far from good."

"I can't say that. I think it's pretty good. The leaves are fresh and tender, and the fruit is plump, and the small ones are firm and firm. They must be delicious."

Qi Xiang felt that sometimes the praise given by the elders was blind, which gave him blind self-confidence.

When they came to Zhongninghou's mansion, Bai Guanyou and Mrs. Bai were already waiting for them.

Seeing the two of them enter the door, Mrs. Bai hurriedly pulled Qi Xiang over to look at her, "Not bad, not skinny, not dark."

Qi Xiang smiled and said, "The air over there is good, the scenery is good, the mood is good, and the body is well maintained."

"That's good. Our mansion has changed from being a marquis' mansion, and there are more and more people wanting to visit every day. We can't just ignore it, we have to deal with it, and it's also a mess. I won't leave you in the mansion. Stop, I'm afraid I won't be able to rest well."

"It's close, I can come over at any time, it doesn't matter if I stay overnight or not."

"It's the same thing. Living close is also beneficial. In the past few months, we, your master and Butler Pan, have nothing to do and will walk around more. These few more people listen to my long-winded words, and I feel better."

Qi Xiang smiled and said: "It is true that today is different from the past. You have to deal with a lot, and there is nothing you can do. You have to continue with these follow-up things after receiving the emperor's grace."

"Yes. Let's not talk about that, let me see the vegetables you grow." Madam Bai reached for the basket, "Why do you want to grow vegetables all of a sudden? It's too hard."

Qi Xiang said earnestly and modestly: "Don't mind if the planting is not good. It's just a wish."

Madam Bai opened the basket, and immediately sighed: "Oh, the planting is really good. You don't need to be so modest, this kind is so fresh. Hou Ye, take a look, is it very good?"

Bai Guanyou also came over and nodded sincerely, "That's right, Wen Jing can learn everything at once."

Qi Xiang said helplessly: "It's really not as good as the ones sold on the street."

"It's normal for you to be a little bit worse the first time you plant, and I don't see much difference." Mrs. Bai will say, "If I plant it differently, maybe nothing will grow."

"Actually, it's okay, it's not that difficult." Qi Xiang didn't know what position he was using to say this, but compared to Mrs. Bai, he was somewhat experienced.

Mrs. Bai handed the basket to the servant girl, "Let the kitchen make it, Master Hou and I will taste it tonight."

"Yes." The little maid went out holding the basket.

Qi Xiang sighed in her heart—Master Hou and his wife also had a share in their blind recognition.

But when I think about it again, it is because they all regard themselves as family members and children, so they agree and praise more. This is also the source of their recognition and trust in him. In fact, it is very heartwarming for him. thing.

The next day, Bai Junyu went to the palace to have an audience. He had only returned to Beijing after a few months, and he was definitely going to the palace to face the saints. He also brought the vegetables they had grown by the way.

Rong Cang really treats them as usual, but they are all cautious and don't want to cause trouble for Rong Cang.If there is one less thing, it will be easier to maintain their former classmates.

"Do you think I haven't seen the world? Even if I haven't bought vegetables, I have seen them. I'm definitely bigger than you." Rong Cang didn't dislike it, but Bai Junyu looked very proud. He really didn't know it was What made Bai Junyu present these to him so confidently.

"For the first time, smaller ones are unavoidable. Your Majesty, please understand." Bai Junyu said confidently, "We didn't have many. Qi Xiang said that I should give you some, so I picked some good ones." Come into the palace."

He used to call Qi Xiang "A Jing" in front of Rong Cang, but now his identity is completely different, he can only call Qi Xiang by his full name.

"Is this not bad?" Rong Cang didn't know what to say, this is what they gave, if it were someone else, he would think it was to fool him.

Bai Junyu said: "Your Majesty, I can make Qi Xiang move

Hand farming is already a big concession.It is very rare for him to grow like this, and he should be praised.Of course, it's fine to encourage him. It's better for him to let go of such a hard work in the future. "

Rong Cang was so speechless that he couldn't help laughing, "Then I still have to reward him with a plaque, writing 'Dachuan Caiwang' or something like that?"

"The emperor's favored minister has taken the lead on behalf of Qi Xiang, so there is no need for that, so as not to make him feel ashamed, he has really started to learn how to grow vegetables seriously."

"I understand, you just want to tell me how good your relationship is with me this time, right? I already know it, so I don't need to go into details." Rong Cang joked with him.

The atmosphere was good, and Bai Junyu let himself be rude once, "Because it will be better, so I want to talk to the emperor."

Rong Cang laughed loudly, "I am also convinced. Show your love to the emperor, you are probably Okawa No. 1."

"Because it is you, I dare to say it." This is true.

Rong Cang was very happy, "Then Qi Xiang will feel better some other day, you can bring him into the palace for dinner, and then call Shang Xianxuan, we haven't been together for a long time."

"Abiding by the order. Will the emperor bring the queen?"

One month after Rongcang ascended the throne, he married the current empress.The queen is a woman from the Hou family, with a straightforward personality but not domineering, and she gets along very well with Rong Cang.

"Why do you ask this?" Rong Cang also had a gentle face when he mentioned his queen.

"The empress is here, Qi Xiang will be embarrassed, and the minister is also embarrassed to show off." Bai Junyu said frankly.It's one thing for a few of them to talk about it, but it's another thing to have a woman around.

Rong Cang smiled cheerfully: "If you don't take her, it's just the four of us."

"That's good, it's better to obey orders than to be respectful."

Rong Cang then handed a booklet to Bai Junyu, "Look at this, Gongxi always wanted to play in the middle of Beijing, and was afraid of being inconvenient, so he came here to ask for an order. Qi Xiang is the best friend of him, and they have always been in harmony with Dachuan. I didn't expect that Reject. Please pay more attention to the reception. "

Last time I wanted Gongxi to come straight, but this person didn't come.Now that it's here, Bai Junyu naturally can't let go of this opportunity, and immediately said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely make proper arrangements for Prince Gongxi."

The author has something to say: Thank you for your support!The family's filter is so thick!In addition, today is a show for Rongcang~
