Fields of Gold

Chapter 431: Seeing Through

Told you! Yu Xiaograss turned his little white eyes in his heart and re-ordered the distant eunuch to send a pot of fresh water. He removed the colorful stone from his wrist and soaked it in fresh water for a moment before putting the purple sand pot back on the small mud furnace.

“This rock of yours isn't clean, I'll drink it, won't I?” Zhu Junfan is fine. He saw the action of the grass, automatically releasing the spiritual power of the heavenly stone as if it had to be contacted through the colorful stone and water.

Without waiting for the little grass to argue, a golden light dissipated from the colorful stone, forming the image of a palm-sized golden kitten on the stone table. Little patchwork stones prefer to look like cats to fat dolls.

“Stupid humans! The bath water of this magic stone is always good for the body, how can it make the stomach upset? If you don't want to drink, some people are waiting in line to drink!” The golden cat stretched out his lazy waist in large measure, mouth in one piece, and only Xiaograss and Zhu Junfan could hear the words.

Zhu Junfan looked at the purple sand pot on the mud stove and looked at it like he was stepping on the stool: “What? You said it was your bath water? Isn't that disgusting? How long has it been since you took a bath? ”

“Do you think this stone is as unhygienic as you humans? This magic stone bathes every day, sometimes several times a day!” Little Tianshi is naturally hydrophilic, so from time to time he runs in nearby ponds or wells. However, it is now free of spiritual power, and without the master's command, it will not let spiritual power flow out easily.

Listening to Zhu Junfan's ears, it was understood that grass, for the sake of crops, made soul stone water out of replenishing stones every day. This small stone must not be lightly spared to produce enough spiritual stone water. It doesn't look like Little Heavenly Stone is all-powerful. Since the colorful stone did not work as well as he expected, he naturally lost his desire to possess it. Look.

So thinking, the water on the stove opened up, wait a little while for the water to cool down and rewash the tea to make tea. The tea has not yet been imported, and the fragrance is pleasant and spreads away. Tea leaves are still made from the finest red robe, said to have been picked from a millennial ancient tea tree on a cliff and made through an intricate stir-fried tea process. More than two kilograms a year.

Refreshing large red robe with a richer flavor and a hint of elegance. Zhu Junyang sniffed the smell of tea water after throwing away the bath water long ago. He sipped it with a cherished sip. A glycerin was just as appealing.

“Mmm! That's the smell!” Zhu Junfan finished the cup of tea and poured it with his own hands. The third cup of tea seems to have a richer taste than the second.

Seeing the Emperor only wanted to drink tea, she seemed to forget that she was still waiting for orders. After drinking the third cup of grass, she said: “Your Majesty, you went into the palace to announce Weishen, not just for this pot of tea? ”

“Of course not!” Another drink, Zhu Junfan put down the cup unfailingly. "I saw the fold on Junyang! You told him to write this fold, didn't you? ”

“Hey, I'm not looking at the mountains near the Imperial Estate. It's a shame, I decided to use the waste! Besides, you produce fruit, and if it tastes good, can you lose one of yours?” Yu Xiaowei was very doggy with a smile on his face.

Zhu Junfan nodded almost without thinking: “There are too few kinds of fruits here, and the taste is not very good. Apples from Yantai are far from the red fuji of previous generations. The pear core is thick, the juice is low, and the sweetness is insufficient. How sweet the glucuronic acid is... and the watermelon, sweetness is quite sweet, what the melon looks like. Or the watermelon you planted, close to the way it was in previous life, big, red, sweet and juicy! That means you have a very good set of fruits! Yes, the hills near the Imperial Estate are free for you. However, in the future, the fruit in the palace will be provided free of charge! ”

“The fruit in this palace, does it not include the supplies of the eunuchs?” Yu Xiaograss frowned and bargained.

Zhu Junfan lit her up with his fingers, so angry and funny: “If all the mountains near the Imperial Estate were planted with fruit trees, let alone the palace, the whole of the capital would be indigestible. How mean are you to refuse to eat this? ”

“The eunuchs in this palace add up to hundreds without a thousand hands. How many fruits would it take if everyone supplied them? Little Ben, I can't help it!” Yu Xiaograss took the door to the end.

“All right! We only supply the master of the palace and the chief administrative officer of the eunuchs, and the total number of people is 30 or 40, so let's do this, shall we not lose?” Zhu Junfan had no good breath.

Suddenly he remembered another one, and he went on: "And what you said about growing vegetables in a warm shed, in glass terms, is too expensive to grow on a large scale. In previous years, when I was messing with rubber wheels, I pulled a plastic film out of my hand, with good toughness and transparency. Because it's not very important and it pollutes the environment, it doesn't go on. If you're going to grow a large area of vegetables for the season, I'm going to ask the workers to work overtime to get it out for you. ”

Yu Xiaograss overjoyed, nodded like garlic, and said: “With plastic film, that would be better! It's just summer, we're not in a hurry, why don't you let the workers improve it and see if you can develop a more transparent plastic film? ”

“Yes! Isn't that a word? Don't underestimate the ancient people's abilities. Sometimes I just put forward an idea and a preliminary idea, and they can quickly come up with a workable solution. No time is short of talent! ”

Zhu Junfan exclaimed. Because of his technical origin, he attached great importance to some artisans with special skills, and the Ministry of Industry grew with his intent to cultivate them.

“Hey, hey! If you succeed in growing the vegetables in your palace, I will pack them!” Yu Xiaocao patted his chest, a big bag of tunnels.

Zhu Junfan glanced at her and said: "Serve only vegetables used in the palace? That's too cheap for you!! Huangzhuang first plotted out 200 mu for you to try out the big cabin dishes, earning four or six, I'll four or six! ”

Yu Xiaoxue just wanted to protest, he stopped her and continued: “Don't ask me yet, I'll settle your bill! The fields, the plastic film, the artificial, are all out of court, you only occupy the technology unit, not all the benefits are packaged by you, right? ”

Yu Xiaograss calmed down and thought about it. Indeed, besides the technology of the big shed, and the spirit stone water, she really can't help much. However, plain white is divided into 40% of the profits, it is very unpleasant, the mumbling: “The fields are ready, the manpower is also on the royal estate, you are only out of plastic film, but you have to take 40% of the profits, is it too dark? ”

“Without plastic film, how many acres can you plant if you warm the shed with glass? What's the profit? Have you counted? Now you have over 200 acres, which is the first year, and if you succeed, there will be more big sheds. You count. How much did you make when you got down in a year? What kind of deal is that? ”

Besides, this 40% profit, though, went into his private vault. But since his arrival, he has been given light rest and recuperation. For the first two years, tax revenues have been overstretched, and the pressure has only decreased slightly until business has been vigorously revitalized for almost two years. The Golden Mountain Silver Mountain that he earned from sailing in the early years was gradually shrinking due to subsidies to the treasury. If he doesn't add any more, what he passes on to future generations is an empty shell!

Yu Xiaoxue had already figured it out in her heart. If you grow vegetables in glass heated houses, you can produce tens of thousands of kilos of vegetables a year, and if the price sells well, it's just thousands of taels of silver. If you replace it with a big shed of plastic film, there are millions of kilograms in over 200 acres. In silver, that's tens of thousands of taels or more, and even if you give the emperor 40%, there's a minimum income of 34,000 taels a winter. Profits don't make money, silly! Yu Xiaograss responded decisively to His Majesty's request.

Before leaving, Zhu Junfan sent her to the royal dining room and hung the colorful stone in a bucket into the well in the royal dining room. The little girl snuck around the royal dining room last time, and the taste of royal dining improved dramatically over the next period. I thought it was the royal chefs passing through the little girl's fingertips, the reason for the culinary improvement. After a while, the meal that came out of your dining room returned to its former state.

Now he finally figured out the way out. It had nothing to do with the craftsmanship of the royal chefs, but with the quality of the well water. Just like just making tea, the little girl must have snuck this stone into the well water last time, which will lead to an excellent meal.

Now that he has arrived in the royal dining room, Yu Xiaograss has revealed his hand and made two specialty snacks. One is honey cake and one is crispy tart, which kids love to eat. When the royal garden met the little prince, he was promised the opportunity to make him good food, and now he has finally fulfilled it!

As she taught the cooks to make desserts, the Emperor's innermost eunuch quietly put the colorful stones into the well. Wait for her to leave before retrieving it. In fact, even if the colorful stone forgot to retrieve it, the small patchwork stone will automatically retrieve its body.

This time into the palace, Yu Xiaograss came back after lunch in the palace. The royal chefs are able to enter the royal dining room and naturally have their own dishes. Plus, there's spiritual power in the well water, and the taste is even higher. Yu Xiaograss was satisfied with his mouth and oil in the palace.

Even the princes of the palace were satisfied and gave good things to come. Little princes and princesses are said to be very satisfied with today's dessert after dinner, especially tarts. He also sent a small eunuch to make this dessert.

Little Prince even bets the Empress that today's snacks must have come from Yu Xiaograss's hand. After questioning him, he had to take his mother's bet with pride, and pleaded with her often to declare the remaining grass into the palace. The meaning is obvious...
