With her dual plant and beast-mastery superpowers, Lu Wanyin is reborn back to her wedding night. Her husband is a general, strong and well-built. Unfortunately, the next day the new emperor orders...
Chapter 338 You two are robbing
When in Fanzhou, Mu Linyuan ate rice grown in the space.
The ordinary meals in Zizai Building are now grown in the black soil of Zizai Peak.
Of course it’s different without the nourishment of spiritual energy.
Mu Linyuan's casual sitting posture suddenly changed, and his eyes looking at Xie Jingci became sharp.
"Thank you, General, for coming so quickly."
Di Er was very proud.
He straightened his back imperceptibly.
All my credit, all my credit.
Xie Jingci smiled and poured tea for himself and Lu Wanyin: "Of course, as a husband, I must pay attention to my wife's business."
He opens his mouth with "my wife" and closes his mouth with "as a husband".
There's something wrong with this atmosphere.
Di Er lowered his head and tried to suppress his laughter.
Apart from anything else, judging from the speed at which the master came, I'm afraid he could have ridden even the fastest eagle.
Lu Wanyin placed her hand under the table and secretly poked Xie Jingci.
Talking about business is not the time to be jealous.
"Ahem."
Xie Jingci cleared his throat and turned serious. "Mr. Mu, you can consider the price. The quality of the food with special effects is much better than before."
As he spoke, Xie Jingci looked at Lu Wanyin and said, "Madam, bring out some corn."
"good."
Lu Wanyin nodded, reached under the table, grabbed a handful of rice from the space, and placed it in front of Mu Linyuan: "Take a look."
Mu Linyuan's attention was instantly drawn there.
As soon as you put this handful of corn on it, you can immediately smell a faint and refreshing scent at the tip of your nose.
This is the taste.
Mu Linyuan pinched a grain of rice and twisted it lightly between his fingertips.
The rice was easily crushed, and the light yellow powder disappeared without a trace with a gentle blow.
“It looks fresh.”
He pinched another one and put it in his mouth to taste it lightly.
The familiar feeling is back.
"good!"
Mu Linyuan leaned forward slightly, his palms pressed on the edge of the table: "If it's corn like this, it's totally fine."
Shui Yu is close to the sea, and there is little land available for growing crops.
No country is willing to sell food, which is the most fundamental thing for a country, to other countries without measuring it.
Due to lack of food, Shui Yu's ambitions were severely restricted.
Every day the army sets out, it needs countless food.
The food ran out within a few days of setting out, and no matter how many strategies they had, the army could not move forward a single step.
Lu Wanyin was afraid that Xie Jingci was still sour and would say something angry.
She pressed her hand against Xie Jingci's and spoke first, "If it's rice like this, the price will at least triple."
Mu Linyuan leaned back with a headache: "Sure enough, I knew it."
Okay, okay, you're raising the price again, right?
This is a way to catch him and kill him.
Mu Linyuan rubbed his brows, feeling extremely depressed. "Miss, the original price was not low to begin with. If it were to triple... even if my Muji spent a lot of money to buy food from other places, it wouldn't cost that much money."
When it comes to business, Mu Linyuan also becomes serious, "Since you and I are talking as businessmen, we should keep our promises. The things that I, Mu Ji, want to exchange have been delivered to the girl for more than a few months. Is it inappropriate for the girl to raise the price now?"
Lu Wanyin smiled slightly and took out two more handfuls of rice. "Mr. Mu, don't be so quick to refuse. This rice is not meant to be eaten raw. Let me have someone steam some so you can try it first."
Di Er harvested the corn and said, "Please wait a moment, my dear guest."
He hummed a tune in his heart and left quickly.
He is of no use here since the master is here.
Silence, long silence.
Xie Jingci drank tea leisurely, while Mu Linyuan played with two leftover grains of rice out of boredom.
Lu Wanyin sat aside, feeling the increasingly weird atmosphere, and always felt like she wanted to say something.
Before she could speak, Mu Linyuan, despite Xie Jingci's occasional glances, slowly cast his gaze on Lu Wanyin: "They say the wilderness is hard and the most devastating to people. But looking at Miss Lu like this, it seems like a place that can nourish people."
This guy must be thinking that if he says a few nice words to her, she will be happy and will lower the price for him, right?
What are you thinking about?
She actually tried to talk about friendship and cheat her out of money.
Lu Wanyin was ready to dismiss his idea: "Mr. Mu..."
"Madam, we've been talking for so long, have some tea."
Xie Jingci filled her cup naturally and put it directly to her mouth: "Madam, try it."
Lu Wanyin didn't even take two sips of her tea, but she was indeed a little thirsty.
Following Xie Jingci's hand, he finished the tea.
Lu Wanyin cleared her throat: "Mr. Mu said..."
"Madam, do you want more?"
Xie Jingci called softly, and before he finished speaking, another cup of tea came over.
Lu Wanyin thought about it and decided that a cup of tea wouldn’t make a difference.
The temperature is just right.
Lu Wanyin pursed her lips and didn't say anything this time. She saw Xie Jingci's hand raised again.
Mu Linyuan and Lu Wanyin fell silent at the same time and looked at Xie Jingci together.
Okay, okay, the master and his subordinates all like to use the same trick, right?
Fortunately, Di Er came back quickly, and the rice was cooked just after an incense stick of time.
The porridge was still steaming hot and was placed in front of Mu Linyuan.
The golden color, appearing and disappearing in the mist, is very beautiful.
Mu Linyuan blew on the hot air twice, leaned close to the edge of the bowl and took a sip of the porridge.
Lu Wanyin narrowed her eyes slightly.
This action is casual but not rude.
Why do they look a bit like Xuan Qi and others who have been with the army for many years?
Mu Linyuan's eyes lit up, and he finished the small bowl of porridge in a few mouthfuls, not caring about the heat.
Putting the bowl gently on the table, Mu Linyuan's eyes showed a little more surprise: "If it's rice like this, triple the price is totally acceptable."
Lu Wanyin looked at Xie Jingci and asked, "Did I raise the price too low?"
“Three times lower”
Mu Linyuan laughed bitterly when he heard this: "Miss Lu, this is still raising the price after the fact. This is not how business is done."
Lu Wanyin's face was still smiling. "Master Mu, let's not mince words. You should know better than me how much use these millets can bring. My husband is also an expert. You and I can see through it, so why should you pretend to be stupid?"
Lu Wanyin paused and said, "Besides, even if it is ordinary rice, in such a quantity, if Mr. Mu could easily buy it elsewhere, he would have already done it."
Mu Linyuan was silent.
This woman is so powerful.
She is absolutely right.
If these corns were used for business, then triple the price would be like throwing money away.
If this special rice is used for marching, it must be guarded by a large number of soldiers.
Under the same circumstances, although triple the price only buys 30% of the original quantity, the effect is several times greater than before.
Moreover, it can even free up 70% of his manpower.
It is very convenient whether it is transported or hidden.
He glanced at Xie Jingci and laughed, "It's really not easy to hide from you two. Since you two have already guessed what I want to do, why are you willing to send the food?"
Back in Fanzhou, he proposed to exchange only for corn, and he didn't expect Lu Wanyin to think so much.
Lu Wanyin looked at Xie Jingci and smiled without saying anything.
Xie Jingci tapped the rim of his cup with his fingertips, a faint smile on his lips: "If Master Mu wants to deal with Dasheng, as long as he doesn't kill civilians indiscriminately, go ahead. If you want to deal with Zizai City... since we dare to give it to you, we are not afraid of your betrayal."
