Chapter 52 Miss Chen said she would treat everyone
Jiang Qian'an's hesitation just now was obviously because he felt that candy was expensive, and it was not cost-effective to buy a "luxury item" when he couldn't even afford food and clothing.
But even so, he didn't want to take advantage of her and accept the gift.
Just for this reason, Chen Jinyue couldn't accept it against his conscience.
What's more, she gave the things on her own initiative.
So I patiently explained to him, "Actually, these candies are not expensive. They are not even as expensive as the vegetable snacks I gave you yesterday."
Jiang Qian'an didn't believe it, "How is that possible? You have so many flavors of malt candy here!"
"Here, everyone can afford this kind of candy, but it's not that popular. There are so many kinds of desserts. For example, the cup of milk tea I just gave you could buy half a bag of this candy."
"But this cup of milk tea isn't too expensive. Considering the price of a takeout meal, it's still affordable to drink it occasionally."
“…”
After Chen Jinyue's comparative explanation, Jiang Qian'an finally understood.
And once again expressed his feelings, "Your country is so great!"
Chen Jinyue nodded in agreement and continued, "The good life we have today was earned through the blood and struggles of countless ancestors. Before this, we didn't have enough to eat or warm clothes to wear. Because we weren't strong enough, we were bullied and oppressed by other countries..."
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
After hearing these words, Jiang Qian'an became more determined.
He must also ensure that the people of Jiang State have enough food and clothing.
"What else do you want? Exchange this thing with me next time." Chen Jinyue said this, and his eyes fell on the pair of jade lying beasts again.
She thought it would fetch a good price.
So far, her valuations have only ever been underestimated, never overestimated.
Jiang Qian'an tried to speak, "I also want a batch of cotton-padded clothes and shoes for the people. I want the same quantity as the first time. Is that enough?"
Chen Jinyue nodded, "That's enough, I can also give you some small gifts."
Jiang Qian'an breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that this thing was precious, but he didn't know it was so valuable.
"Thank you very much, young lady. I'll leave the thing here for now."
“???”
Chen Jinyue was a little surprised. "You paid the full amount before you even saw the goods. Aren't you afraid that I'll run away?"
Jiang Qian'an smiled easily, "If you run away, there's not much point in leaving this thing behind."
The credibility of Chen Jinyue's channel increased, and the credibility of his sponsor also increased, and his mood suddenly became much better.
"How many people are there outside your door collecting the goods?"
"One hundred people, what's wrong?"
Chen Jinyue didn't answer. He just took out his phone and tapped it, then said, "Okay!"
She handed him the meat and coal, and as usual reminded him to open the window when burning the coal, otherwise someone might die.
Then I gave him the compressed biscuits and quilts for the past two days.
"Next time you come, all the quilts will be gone, and we can give you another batch of sleeping bags."
"good!"
After Jiang Qian'an finished speaking, he was about to leave when Chen Jinyue stopped him.
Just then, her little black box made a noise. She went out and came back pushing a cart full of the same milk tea he had just drunk.
Jiang Qi'an was puzzled when he heard Chen Jinyue say, "Give the candy to General Xiao, and give the milk tea to the people waiting outside the door, one cup each."
…
Still in that house, everyone was waiting anxiously and expectantly.
His Highness spent a long time inside today. He even came out in the middle of the trip to get another box of things. I don’t know if it was because there were too many things and not enough money, or if there were some new good things.
After finally seeing a figure coming out, Deputy General Yang quickly stepped forward to greet him, "Your Highness! How is it?"
This time, Jiang Qian'an personally pushed out two carts, attracting everyone's attention.
He put the cart of candy aside and handed the cart of milk tea to Lieutenant General Yang.
I showed him how to drink it.
Not surprisingly, when he saw the surprised and excited expression on Deputy General Yang's face, he instructed, "Here are a hundred cups. Miss Chen said she's treating everyone."
Lieutenant General Yang was flattered. He held the milk tea in both hands and trembled for a long time before he excitedly said, "Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Miss Chen!"
Soon, everyone got a cup of milk tea, and the group of young men in their teens and twenties forgot all the rules in their happiness.
Gather together happily to taste and marvel.
The cold air boiled, and a warm and sweet scent filled the air.
Jiang Qian'an looked at this scene, and then at the piles of supplies pouring out of the door, and his chest felt hot.
He believed that things would get better at the border soon, and so would Jiang State!
After instructing Lieutenant General Yang to pack up, he took the last cup of milk tea and walked towards Sang Heyuan's residence.
Miss Chen originally said that this was for General Xiao, but Xiao Chengyu was not there, so he got it for free.
The two sat opposite each other. Sang Heyuan held the cup of milk tea, looking left and right, up and down, with amazement in his eyes.
"This drink is wonderful!"
If this kind of flavor could appear in the capital, wouldn’t it make a lot of money?
After all, this year's winter is particularly harsh, and it's also cold in Beijing!
His burning eyes fell on Jiang Qian'an's face, "Where did you get this? Do you have the recipe? Hmm? That's not right! It's so sweet, they must have added a lot of malt sugar! Aren't you broke? And yet you're so extravagant!!"
After several twists and turns in his sentence, he opened his mouth and countless questions came out.
Jiang Qian'an gave him milk tea with the intention of selling him something good and showing off their border strength, but he didn't expect that this guy would find a business opportunity at first sight.
"Do you want to take it back to Beijing and sell it?" Jiang Qian'an was also a little happy.
Sang Heyuan immediately withdrew his excitement, "Even if you want to make money, you have to live a good life! I've thought about it, and what you said last time is still unreliable..."
He didn't agree to Jiang Qian'an immediately. Businessmen are rarely impulsive.
Especially when it comes to your own life.
Be extra cautious.
Could they deceive the old emperor for a while, but could they deceive him forever?
According to their progress, they will soon retake the city and the barbarian army will negotiate peace with the State of Jiang.
When the emperor becomes suspicious, he will simply send another general to take away the military power from them.
Let’s all play together!
"General Xiao is now recruiting soldiers all the way, and the army has expanded to 70,000. Do you think the emperor will dare to send people casually next time?" Jiang Qian'an asked him back.
"Then we must be cautious. We can only send General Feng! General Feng has no connections with our Sang family, nor does he have any personal relationship with any of the princes!"
Jiang Qi'an nodded, "That's right, but just because it didn't happen before doesn't mean it won't happen in the future."
Sang Heyuan narrowed his eyes and looked at him, "Are you sure you can win over General Feng?"
"I can't say he's trying to win him over, but he's loyal to the Jiang Kingdom. As long as the people in power can live and work in peace and contentment, and foreign enemies don't dare to invade, then whoever he's loyal to isn't loyal to him."
“…”
Sang Heyuan suddenly felt as if he had never known this cousin before.
Where does his ambition and confidence come from? !
General Feng was known for his unyielding obedience to orders and his stubbornness. He commanded a large army and could rival General Xiao. His adoptive father served the Emperor, and even the Crown Prince had to show him respect.
Jiang Qi'an handed over a piece of silk and gave him a final, drastic measure. "If something happens to me, you will be safe in Kyoto. Take this to Madam Mingde, she can save your life."
