After I kissed the rough man Khan, I was busy farming in the grassland

Chapter 158: Khan is so attentive, the princess will definitely like it ([-]st update)
Li Xianyun led a group of people back.

The landlord said: "55 taels of silver a month, no less."

"50 taels." Li Xianyun insisted.

The landlord gritted his teeth and said, "50 taels is 50 taels."

He paused and said, "I didn't expect you to be so good at setting prices at such a young age."

Li Xianyun smiled and said, "It's not that I'm good at pricing. It's just that the price you're asking for is too high. I really can't afford to rent it."

She has always adhered to a principle of doing things: to be able to bend and stretch, to be humble when she should be humble, and to be weak when she should be.

These words made the landlord feel a lot more comfortable.

Li Xianyun and the landlord signed the contract in the presence of everyone.

In duplicate, the monthly rent is 50 taels, the term is three years, and the rent is paid annually.

Li Xianyun also specifically added that the rent cannot be increased within three years.

Many landlords raise rents when business in their shops is booming. She added this clause to avoid future trouble.

Of course, she also added several additional conditions that were beneficial to herself.

In the end, the landlord said with a wry smile: "Why do I feel like I've met an expert? Are you really only seventeen or eighteen years old?"

Li Xianyun smiled and said, "I just think you are complimenting me."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone laughed.

After signing the contract, Li Xianyun took the 600 tael of silver notes from Youlan and handed it to the landlord.

The landlord left a bunch of keys behind.

After the landlord left, Li Xianyun gave Ali the key and left him 400 taels in silver notes, asking him to find someone to decorate the shop and recruit cooks and waiters.

Ali had worked in a restaurant before and knew the cooks and waiters very well, so he was very familiar with recruiting them.

Li Xianyun took Ali to explain the decoration requirements of each room.

Ali was literate and wrote the request down on paper, very seriously.

When Li Xianyun saw this, she felt more and more that she had seen the right person.

After the explanation, Li Xianyun rushed back to the palace with her people.

She still has a lot to do when she returns to the palace.

After Li Xianyun and his party left, Ali looked at the shop excitedly. He still couldn't believe it was true.

On the one hand, he was grateful to Li Xianyun for saving his life and for finding him a friend. On the other hand, he was determined to work hard and live up to Li Xianyun's trust in him.

Sitting on the carriage returning to the palace, Li Xianyun opened the curtain and looked at the scenery outside leisurely.

After working for most of the day, I was a little tired and just took a break on the way back to the palace.

Zhuoma looked at Li Xianyun and thought to herself: The master has probably spent more than 2000 taels these days, and there should be many places to spend money in the future, but looking at the master's generous spending, he seems to be very rich.

Zhuoma couldn't help but ask: "Master, are you rich?"

Li Xianyun turned to look at her and said with a smile, "Do you think I spend too much money?"

"No."

Li Xianyun said: “If you want to make money, early investment is essential.”

When Zhuoma saw that Li Xianyun did not answer her questions directly, she knew that there were some things that Li Xianyun did not want to mention, so she stopped asking any more questions.

Although the master is very mysterious, you can enjoy the delicious food and drink spicy food with him, and the people he treats are very nice, which makes you very satisfied.

The group quickly returned to the Khan Palace, but Yeluyan had not returned yet.

Li Xianyun had been to Beidaying before, and it was quite far away. It took two hours to go back and forth. Yeluyan left late this morning, so he probably wouldn't be back so early.

Li Xianyun rested for a while and then came to the dining room. She planned to take the cooks to make candied apricot meat.

The cooks were very happy when they heard this. It seems that they will be lucky again today.Li Xianyun and the cooks broke the ripe apricots in half and removed the pits, then evenly sprinkled them with white sugar and marinated them for an hour.

Then put the marinated apricot meat in a casserole and steam it.

Li Xianyun looked at the white smoke rising from the lid of the casserole and said to the cooks: "Don't add water to the apricot meat when marinating it. The apricot meat will release a lot of water during the marinating process, which is enough." .”

She paused and said, "Also, you cannot use an iron pot when cooking apricot meat. There will be rust on it. The steamed apricot meat will be black, which makes people unappetizing."

The cooks said: "Yes."

Li Xianyun looked at them and said: "Actually, the methods of making candied apricot meat and candied peach meat are similar. Tomorrow, I will take you to make peach meat preserves. The taste is also good."

Seeing everyone's expectant looks, Li Xianyun pursed her lips and smiled.

After the water boiled, Li Xianyun brought down the casserole with two pieces of white cloth, put the cooked apricot meat into an iron basin, let it cool, marinated it for an hour, and then dried it.

When Yeluyan returned to the Khan Palace, it was already dark.

He turned over and dismounted, stepped onto the high platform of the Khan Palace in a few steps, and asked, "Where is the princess?"

The guard at the door said respectfully: "Report to the Khan, the princess is in the main building."

Before he finished speaking, Yeluyan had already walked into the tall gatehouse.

All the way to the main building, Yeluyan slowed down and straightened his clothes.

A guard handed the bird cage to Yeluyan respectfully.

Yeluyan took it, looked at the guard, and asked, "Do you think the princess will like it?"

The guard said hurriedly: "The princess will definitely like the fact that Khan is so attentive."

On the way back to Beijing from the military camp, Ye Luyan made a special trip to the "Flowers, Birds, Insects and Fish" market, hoping to bring some fresh things to make Li Xianyun happy.

But after looking around, I still don’t know what to buy.

Just when Ye Luyan was wondering what new things to bring to Li Xianyun, he heard the sweet chirping of a few birds and suddenly had an idea.

Yeluyan carried the bird cage, walked into the main building, and asked, "Where is the princess?"

A maid replied respectfully: "The princess is making toys for Prince Xuan in the ear room. I will go and invite the princess now."

"No, Ben Khan will go there himself."

Yeluyan said and walked towards the penthouse carrying the bird cage.

After hearing from Zhuoma that Yeluxuan's birthday was coming soon, Li Xianyun planned to make a set of Luban locks for him.

Youlan and Zhuoma were waiting nearby.

Zhuoma looked at the Luban locks of various shapes made by Li Xianyun and sincerely praised: "Master, your craftsmanship is really good."

Li Xianyun pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Are you hungry? Go and eat first. I will finish the last meal before eating."

She is always very serious about what she does, and once she starts doing something, it is difficult to stop. She always wants to finish it in one go before doing other things.

It is common to forget food and sleep.

Youlan smiled and said: "I'm not hungry, slave. The candied apricot meat made by the master is really delicious. I'm greedy and ate some of it."

"The same goes for my slave. I'm still exhausted now and not hungry at all." Zhuoma said with a smile.

"Master, if this continues, this slave will gain weight again." Youlan joked.

Li Xianyun smiled and said, "I plan to make candied peach meat tomorrow, but it seems that there is no need for it."

"No, no, no, I'm just joking." Youlan waved her hands hurriedly.

Zhuoma picked up a Luban lock and played with it, smiling seemingly unintentionally:

"Master, your hands are so skillful. The future little prince and princess will be very lucky. You can do whatever they want to play."
