People in Datang, start with a golden hoe

Fang Xuanling was shocked, "Young lady, you must have recognized the wrong person!"

"Isn't it Mr. Fang who was sitting in front of the saint that day?" Cai Xiaolan asked in return.

"You have sharp eyes!" Fang Xuanling sighed, "I've finished eating too! This time I'm here to give you something good. Your paper "Cotton Cloth Enriching the People" caused quite a stir, Your Majesty I will make you a Marquis of Huabu, with a reward of one thousand taels, ten thousand copper coins, and a benevolent heart monument. The gold and copper coins are in the big box outside. The benevolent heart monument will be implemented by the engineering department of the government. I will hand over the documents to them later. . It’s a pity that the Marquis only has a title, not a real title.”

"However, based on your background, you are the first person in history to achieve such an achievement!"

"Thank you, sir! Xiaolan is satisfied with these. I just hope that the people in the world can live easier." Cai Xiaolan thanked her, but she was "laughing" in her heart. If only the founding ministers of the Tang Dynasty had lived longer and lived in the same court as the only empress in the ages, then they could have stabbed their butts with a knife - it would have opened their eyes!

"Hahaha, you have a good heart!" Fang Xuanling laughed.

"My lord, please stay here for a day. The little girl will cook tomorrow!"

“How does it compare to these dishes on the table?”

"I guarantee that your words will be fresh and new!"

"We have an agreement!"

Cai Xiaolan once again reached an agreement with the old man. Poor Lu Qingyun spent his own money to prepare a ceremony for Cai Xiaolan to become a marquis, but he sat on the bench in a private room. Cai Xiaolan didn't enter the private room until the prime minister raised his butt and left.

"The daughter of the people has met three adults!" Cai Xiaolan was about to salute again, but was held back by Judge Lu.

"I don't dare take it seriously. Xiaolan, you have been made a marquis by His Majesty. We have the same status, so there is no need to be polite." Lu Xingye replied.

"Yes, go outside. The government's edict must be handed over to you, and there are still some ceremonies to go through."

……

The bustling edict activities lasted for a whole day. This is still a situation where there is no allocation from above and Cai Xiaolan does not take any money from outside. Otherwise, if the host family invites some musicians and beautiful girls to create a troupe and make it lively, ten days and a half month will not be enough.

The three senior officials only appeared for a moment during the conferment, and left directly after it was over.

Thousands of taels of gold and tens of thousands of dollars cannot be hidden in a deep house covering an area of ​​more than ten acres. Cai Xiaolan asked her roommate to send the Buddha to the west, deposit it directly into a bank in the city, exchange it for a deposit check, and hand it over to Xu Yinlian who was traveling with him.

During the playful scene, Cai Xiaolan asked Fengcang to handle it on his behalf. He hid out of the house in the afternoon and took three guys to Yangzhou City.

When they arrived in the city, the three guys went to various markets to buy ingredients for tomorrow's dinner. And she went straight to Yaxing.

"Boss Cai, why are you free today?" The manager of the dental shop came to the door.

It's not that Lord Caihou was granted the title in the morning and became famous in Yangzhou in the afternoon. It's just that people who work in the tooth shop pay special attention to the study of human relationships. They live by cannibalism, and every steward has a lot of lower-class blood on his hands. Once he offends someone and falls into the lower class, those who have eaten flesh and drank blood from him will definitely swarm Come up, take revenge if you have a grievance, take revenge if you have a grudge!

And Cai Xiaolan is now considered a respectable person in Yangzhou. Worthy of his smile.

"I want to buy a piece of land, can you give me some ideas?"

If you have money, don't spend it. You bastard. If you don't spend the money rewarded by the emperor, it won't be called money.

The steward's eyes rolled around in a circle, and his whole body was full of interest. The land-related transaction had the highest commission. He grabbed the map in the cabinet and said, "Here, tell me which piece you want?" He looked as powerful as I could in the world.

Cai Xiaolan ignored the other party's thoughts and stared at the map carefully, finally pointing to a small piece of land in the southwest corner of the map, "I want this piece! It's the land near Tianfu Jucai Residence."

"This -" the steward's voice was drawn out. After waiting for so long, it turned out to be a dull voice. Yahang has no right to sell this piece of land next to the official road.

"Isn't it easy to sell?" Cai Xiaolan frowned, "Or do you need a lot of money?"

The steward stood there in confusion for a long time, holding back half a sentence, "This is a lot of money, and a thousand taels may not be enough! We still need to manage things up and down, and we need another sum of money." His meaning was very clear, and he persuaded Cai Xiaolan had long since given up this desire.

"This is the bank's deposit check, please check it!"

"No need!" The steward said politely, and his hands were not idle at all. He took the deposit ticket and looked at it carefully, making sure that the deposit ticket in his hand was from the largest ticket number in Yangzhou City.

"This large amount of business cannot be decided in a day or two. I need to report to the general manager. Just wait for my letter!" The manager finally said something that was not true or false, and sent her away.

Lord Cai left Yahang and went to the government office again. Everyone in the government office knew the newly promoted Marquis and enjoyed extraordinary treatment. Menzi led him all the way to the living room. The steward inquired about the location of the governor and immediately took him there.

Not even a report is needed.

"Xiaolan, we just met this morning, why are you so anxious to see me again!" Lu Qingyun asked in confusion.

"Master Lu, I am here at Tianfu Jucai Residence today. The little girl has something to hide from you. At that time, there was a distinguished guest from Chang'an sitting in the lobby. I was entrusted by others and did not tell you about him." Cai Xiaolan's The words reveal that this person has a very high status.

"Oh? Then come now..." Lu Qingyun asked very cleverly. If someone doesn't let you say it, why come here to say it again?

Lord Cai said slyly: "I invited him to my house for dinner tomorrow. I didn't say I wouldn't invite others!"

"Then who is that distinguished guest? Tell me first so that you can be prepared!" Cai Xiaolan had already prepared her words for this reason, so Governor Lu took the initiative to ask for the name of the distinguished guest.

Regardless of etiquette, Lord Cai took a step forward and leaned into his ear, "Xiao Chao Tang, surname Fang!"

"That's all! Mr. Lu, the dusk clouds and spring scenery will bring you happiness and wealth tomorrow!"

……

What kind of banquet can make a deep impression on a wealthy person?

Delicacies on a jade plate? Delicacies from mountains and sea?

Neither count.

Some might say, home cooking!

Not also!

Treating distinguished guests with home-cooked meals and earning money is just like what is shown in TV dramas.

No matter how luxurious the homes of ordinary people are, they can't compare to the royal family. Cai Xiaolan still uses the old method, the dishes are not exquisite enough, and the poems are used to make up.

Zheng Yisong and Wang Ji were added to the guest list.

At night, she searched through her memory for half a night before she found the right incision: the twenty-four solar terms.

Beginning of Spring, Rain, Jingzhe, Vernal Equinox, Qingming, Grain Rain, Beginning of Summer, Xiaoman, Ear Grain, Summer Solstice, Minor Heat, Major Heat, Beginning of Autumn, End of Heat, White Dew, Autumnal Equinox, Cold Dew, Frost Descent, Beginning of Winter, Light Snow, Heavy Snow, Winter Solstice, Minor Cold, and Major Cold.

She wrote twenty-four poems in the name of the twenty-four solar terms, and designed twenty-four dishes based on the poems to represent the solar terms, and then fell asleep with satisfaction.
