The story of Princess Lenggong's farming

Chapter 178
Shen Sisi wanted to stay a long time ago, and now it was getting late, so she naturally didn't rush home, so she agreed with a smile, and didn't ask if anyone would like to eat this lotus root.

Anyway, there is this painting, and once the reputation is spread, I am afraid that no one will come to eat it. If it is in the capital, alas...she will have to sell it for five taels of silver per plate.

Seeing her indifferent demeanor, shopkeeper Cheng felt that she was extraordinary, and he was even more awed by the painting of General Han, so he smiled and said: "We will process and sell this lotus root at Tianxiang Building, and the money will be with the girl. This year Our Tianxiang Building doesn’t make any money from it anymore…”

Zhong Gensheng was taken aback, and said: "Wouldn't that make you suffer. How did this happen?! Manager Cheng, we didn't come here to make you suffer like this."

"Brother Zhong is wrong. Our Tianxiang Building also relies on your family's bottom material for food. It only costs a hundred catties and it doesn't cost much material, so I won't make this money. If there is more next year, I will just eat it." Let's talk next year..." Shopkeeper Cheng said with a smile: "Besides, I still made money. With that painting, our Tianxiang Building will only be more sensational. I'm afraid there will be more people next year and the business will be better. I have to be grateful What about the girl, where can I earn the money of the girl..."

Shen Sisi had expected it earlier, so he smiled and said: "Then thank you, Shopkeeper Cheng." For Shopkeeper Cheng, who has earned a lot of money, this money is really not much, the most important thing is reputation, the painting attracted a lot of money. Effect, he earns more.

"I have to take this painting back in a month. It's our family's collection..." Shen Sisi said with a smile, the exhibition for a month can be regarded as selling him face, and it can also be regarded as a reputation for his base material and lotus root. The lotus root will be even better next year.

Hearing that it can be exhibited for a month, shopkeeper Cheng smiled happily and said, "Then I will be grateful..."

Shen Sisi smiled, stood up and said, "Let's put the ox cart here and come back later. Dad and I want to visit the border town, but we haven't been here yet..."

"Okay, but come back earlier, I've prepared dinner for you two." Shopkeeper Cheng smiled and called another man, and said, "Let him show you the way. The border town is bustling and crowded, so it's easy to get lost. ..."

Shen Sisi shook her head and said, "No need, we want to go shopping alone."

Shopkeeper Cheng didn't force it, so he let them go.

She mainly wanted to talk to Zhong Gensheng conveniently.Zhong Gensheng held back his words for a long time, and asked as soon as he came out: "Tu Niu, what is that painting?!"

"General Han painted..."

"Ah?!" Zhong Gensheng was dumbfounded.

"So shopkeeper Cheng is only grateful to me, how could he still take my money?!" Shen Sisi said with a smile.

Zhong Gensheng was speechless, and after a while, he said: "My dear boy, half a catty is two taels of silver, one catty is four taels of silver, and more than 100 catties is five or six hundred taels..."

"So dad, I said I would sell gold, come on, it's a pity that this year's production is a little less, next year it will be fine... Next year the big pond will also plant lotus root, and the harvest will be thousands of taels of silver..." Shen Sisi smiled road.

Zhong Gensheng was completely stunned, just a little bit of lotus root, 600 taels, actually 600 taels, his hands were shaking, this money making is too surprising...

This, this... It was something that I didn't dare to think about before, but when I thought about the tens of thousands of taels on Tu Niu's body, I felt that the house was really smoked from the ancestral grave.It's really the reincarnation of the God of Wealth. This girl, in just one year, has earned so much money and came back, but she still doesn't look like a mountain, and other people only think that they are worth a thousand dollars...

"Father, don't think about it..." Seeing him like this, Shen Sisi took his hand and said, "Let's go buy some things to bring back to mother and brothers, and Xiaohua, it's rare to come to the border town..."

Zhong Gensheng's thoughts were interrupted, he followed Shen Sisi to go shopping for a while, bought a lot of things, found a porter and went back to Tianxiang Tower, gave the porter money, Shen Sisi saw that it was already dark, and became the shopkeeper He hurried over to greet them for dinner.

This meal was really carefully prepared, with many rare ingredients that are not available here.Shen Sisi was quite moved, and felt that the shopkeeper Cheng was quite troublesome and enthusiastic, but the cooking method was really not good, but it was still acceptable.

After eating, she didn't think about anything, and went into the room arranged by shopkeeper Cheng for them to rest, but Zhong Gensheng couldn't fall asleep because of tossing and turning, just thinking that there was such a local girl who could make money at home, Alas, it was not until midnight that I finally closed my eyes and slept for a while, and woke up again at dawn.

The two returned to Tianxiang Tower.Today, Tianxiang Building was very lively before it opened. As soon as the door opened, many people came here admiringly, especially some students who were studying in the school. The famous Ai Lian said, especially those two famous lines, "Out of the mud but not stained, and in the clear water without demons", these people lost their minds for a while, and these two sentences were all in their minds, and they had to recite them every now and then, and even looked them up. Only after reading the ancient borrowings can I know everything about this lotus root.

Its lotus seeds, its stems and leaves, its lotus flowers, its lotus root...so today countless people come to visit the painting.

Tianxianglou was crowded with people, and General Han, a martial artist, finally caught the eyes of these students, and each of them said with fiery eyes: "...all martial arts are reckless and illiterate, I didn't expect General Han to be both civil and military, this painting, this word , this poem, let me who has read poetry and books really feel ashamed..."

Everyone responded one after another, and then studied the menu next to it. When they learned that the lotus root fruit cost two taels of silver a plate, no one called it expensive. …

The clerk had already received the order from the shopkeeper, and cleverly took out a long strip of lotus root. He was very careful, and it was still covered with dried mud. He cleverly said: "...it grew at the bottom of the river, so there is mud. Let's see..."

He rinsed it with water and scrubbed lightly, and the white color of the lotus root came out. The eyes of all the students were bright, and they agreed: "...It really comes out of the mud without being stained. This lotus root is really..." He didn't know how to describe it. He couldn't say what to say for a long time, and finally said proudly: "...I want a plate..."

"I want a plate too..."

"I want it too, I want it too..."

Tianxiang Building was full of noise, and the clerk was clever. He knew that these students were not short of money, so he smiled and said: "We limit the sale of ten dishes a day. Since you are classmates, why not share a table, order one dish for each table, and then recommend ours. Hot pot, order more other dishes, everyone will eat around, and it will be lively, get in touch with classmates, and then appreciate our paintings..."

Everyone responded one after another, and they fell into the trap, ordering a lot of dishes, which made the shopkeeper laugh from ear to ear.

A group of students watched the lotus root slices being served, smelled the fragrance, tasted sweet in their mouths, and immediately worshiped them. They were careful with their chopsticks and tasted slowly.

Someone looked at the painting and whispered: "This painting is so beautiful, I just don't know when the lotus will bloom. If I can appreciate the scenery in this painting, I will be convinced for the rest of my life..."

Everyone dropped their hands and sighed.

This painting and this lotus root became a hot spot in the city, and no one said it was expensive.

Shopkeeper Cheng was convinced by Shen Sisi. She had agreed on ten dishes a day yesterday. If people couldn't get them, she could only stare at the dishes on other people's tables. When she ordered them, she deliberately ate them slowly. People are really jealous...

Shen Sisi only gave a thumbs up to Shopkeeper Cheng, and said with a smile, "The guy you're looking for is really smart, not bad..."

Shopkeeper Cheng smiled and said: "How can it compare to the girl's great wisdom..." He can wake up laughing at night from his dreams, and I'm afraid Xianglou will become famous all over the world...

After all, there are a lot of businessmen coming and going in the border town, and some people will be arty when they are rich. Naturally, when they come to the border town, they will definitely come to Tianxiang Tower. Naturally... one can imagine this magnificent scene.

Shen Sisi had expected it earlier, so she smiled and said, "This 100-jin supply is estimated to be enough for a month. When the lotus root is sold out, remember to send the painting back..."

"Definitely, I'll deliver it myself when the time comes..." Shopkeeper Cheng said with a smile.

Shen Sisi smiled, and no longer cared about the crowds of people in Tianxiang Tower. She brought the things she bought yesterday, and the gift that shopkeeper Cheng gave her, which was almost half an ox cart, and the two went home.

Anyway, Zhong Gensheng was quite shocked by what happened in the past two days. He only felt that he had learned a lot, although he didn't quite understand why, after all, it was a scholar's business.But he didn't ask. Last night, after struggling all night, he figured it out. No matter how much money a local girl earns, no matter how rich she is, isn't she still his daughter? !

There's nothing to worry about, I feel relieved after thinking about it.

Shen Sisi looked at the lotus root money given by shopkeeper Cheng, which was an integer of 600 taels, which was considered too much by shopkeeper Cheng, but Shen Sisi was not polite to him and put it away early.

The white silver is really a good thing, Shen Sisi smiled, but the better thing is some precious dried seafood ingredients given by the shopkeeper Cheng.This is what she likes best.

This is inland, not near the sea, so these things are extremely expensive here. I think the shopkeeper also spent a lot of money, probably because of the face of the painting. He thought about it and smiled. All he paid was money. , but what he got was an elegant reputation that money cannot buy...

In the future, Tianxiang Tower will become a gathering place for scholars, and this hot pot will naturally become the most elegant thing.This Cheng shopkeeper is quite good at settling accounts, but he is still very witty.

Han Ji didn't know anything about this.When Shen Sisi returned home, she didn't mention it, she would only mention it when she was out of her mind, so after several days, Han Ji felt that something was wrong, especially when he returned to the barracks, there were always people laughing talking about him.

He didn't care about it at first, but later he felt something was wrong, so he asked Chang Sheng to ask, and Chang Sheng only found out about it after asking his own soldiers.

The master and servant went to Tianxiang Tower in plain clothes.

When he saw the painting with his own seal hanging in a conspicuous place in the hall, Han Ji almost vomited blood... His face turned dark immediately, but it was his own niece who committed the crime. If it was someone else, he would have A whip whipped up...

"Master, you can..." Chang Sheng is also very embarrassed, he knows this painting, but he didn't expect the general to be posed by that weird little girl.

When the two of them saw what Ailian said in beautiful handwriting, their expressions immediately became complicated.

Changsheng was stunned, opened his mouth wide, and said, "This, this..."

Han Ji was quite calm on the surface, but his heart was not calm for a long time. He paused and said, "...Changsheng, she said she couldn't read?! Right?!"

"Yes, yes..." Chang Sheng couldn't respond in a daze.

Han Ji laughed loudly, and said: "...we were both deceived by her..." But after reading this poem, why is he so happy? !Why! ?Han Ji felt that he was suffering from masochism. Anyway, he was not seriously ill, but he was very happy...

This girl, what should he say about her? !Taking his painting to sell lotus root, the effect is so good...
