Chapter 90: Yu Lingye's Heart is Surge
Fu Mo was stunned for a moment: "I have said a lot, what are you asking about, Your Highness?"
Yu Lingye frowned: "She said cassava can be used as food?"
Fu Mo was confused: "Yes, that's what the princess said."
"The princess said that cassava is the king of starches, very nutritious, and is one of the three major tubers along with sweet potatoes and potatoes."
"I haven't heard of sweet potatoes and potatoes, and I don't know where the princess heard it from."
A look of excitement appeared on Yu Lingye's usually calm and composed face.
The area where cassava mainly grows happens to be his fiefdom.
Because cassava is poisonous, people dare not eat it. They only pick a little and sell it cheaply as medicine or feed it to pigs and sheep.
The fiefdom was poor and there were simply not enough pigs and sheep to feed.
So, cassava grows almost wildly.
If Xie Yingmian could remove the toxicity of cassava.
If, cassava can become food.
The cassava growing wildly all over the mountains is the natural granary that saves the people!
Cassava can not only save the current crisis, but if used properly, it can also completely solve the hidden danger of food shortage in the fiefdom.
With food and enough to eat, people have the motivation to live.
The fiefdom dilemma is easily solved!
For the first time, Yu Lingye knew what it felt like to have a surging heart.
"Where is she?"
"Have her come right away."
Fu Mo thought that Yu Lingye was blaming Xie Yingmian for using poisonous substances to make food without permission, and secretly blamed himself for being too talkative and causing trouble for the princess.
He hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, please be patient."
"The princess said it would take three days to remove the toxicity from the cassava, and we haven't even started making the mochi bread yet."
"The princess wouldn't lie. Let's wait three days. Once the mochi bread is ready, I'm willing to test the poison first."
Yu Lingye knew that Fu Mo had misunderstood.
He also calmed down a little.
There are no results yet on the treatment of cassava toxicity, so it is too early to ask too many questions.
Xie Yingmian said it would take three days to deal with it, so he would wait for three days.
He would wait three days and ask Xie Yingmian in detail what kind of mochi bread he had made.
"I understand." The heavy stone in Yu Lingye's heart was lifted, and he lay down on the chair tiredly, "You go down first."
Fu Mo pointed at the remaining taro paste cakes on the tray and said, "Your Highness, would you like to eat more of these?"
Yu Lingye didn't even bother to raise his eyes: "You guys divide the rest."
Fu Mo smiled brightly: "Thank you, Your Highness."
There are three pieces of taro cake left.
Fu Mo generously gave one piece to Tianjia and left one piece for Fufeng.
The last piece was left to Tu Bufan, who worked for Xie Yingmian.
Fu Mo remembered Xie Yingmian's instructions and sent a message to Tu Bufan early in the morning.
The message specifically emphasized that he had desserts that had never been seen before.
With Tu Bufan's love for sweet things, he would still come even if knives rained from the sky.
As expected.
Fu Mo soon received a reply from Tu Bufan, saying that he would come over in the evening.
He happily went to find Xie Yingmian.
"Princess, Tu Bufan has replied and said he will come over in the evening."
Without waiting for Xie Yingmian to speak, he introduced Tu Bufan and Baibaolou as if they were his treasures.
Amidst Fu Mo's excitement and spitting.
Xie Yingmian had a general idea.
Tu Bufan is the owner of Baibaolou.
Baibaolou’s business model is unique.
It does not simply sell things, nor does it display items for people to choose from.
When customers come to the store, they need to write down their requests and put them in a small box. The small boxes are divided into ordinary and expedited, with different colors and speeds.
The waiter then presented the small boxes.
If Baibaolou doesn't take the job, the waiter will send the customer away.
If Baibaolou takes the job, it will ask the customer to sign a document.
The document will indicate the latest delivery time and price, the deposit will not be refunded regardless of success or failure, the amount of compensation that Baibaolou will have to pay if the delivery is late, etc.
After signing the documents, customers just have to wait.
If the customer needs it urgently, they can pay more.
Baibaolou sells everything, including news.
Tu Bufan's information is reliable and well-informed. As long as the information comes from Baibao Tower, the accuracy rate is 99%.
Therefore, as long as the news comes out of Baibao Tower, no one will doubt its authenticity.
Xie Yingmian was curious about Baibaolou's sales model and had many questions.
"Does Baibaolou really accept any job?"
Fu Mo said: "Of course not."
"There are three kinds of work that Baibaolou won't accept: one, no theft; two, no harm to the world; and three, no royal secrets."
"Except for these three, whether to accept the others depends on Tu Bufan's mood."
"You haven't met him. If you had, you would have known that he is very capable but also has a strange temper."
Fu Mo spoke of Tu Bufan in a rather helpless tone.
"He has a weird temper and is stubborn. Whatever he wants to do, he must do it on his own terms."
"If he doesn't want to do something, he won't do it even if God comes to power."
"Once, a high-ranking official tried to use his power to force him to submit. That very night, the official's enemies received detailed evidence of corruption, bribery, disregard for human life, and selling official positions."
"The next day, the minister's family was raided and beheaded."
"Some people were wary of him and wanted to assassinate him. No matter how many experts were sent, no one could leave the Baibao Tower alive. Over time, the Baibao Tower became a special place in Shangjing City."
After listening to the introduction, Xie Yingmian was a little worried.
She knew that Fu Mo had introduced him to a big boss.
But she didn't know that Fu Mo introduced her to a super boss.
"Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?" Xie Yingmian said.
"I just asked him to pass on some information. How can I bother the big boss with such a small matter? What if he just walks away?"
Fu Mo said, "Don't worry, Princess."
"Tu Bufan and I grew up together. We have a special friendship. Considering our friendship, he won't just walk away. At most, he'll scold me before leaving."
Xie Yingmian: ...
What is the difference?
Fu Mo said mysteriously: "I have prepared a secret weapon, he will definitely take the bait."
Xie Yingmian felt that Fu Mo was not very reliable.
If a big boss can be kidnapped by friendship, he is not a big boss.
However, she was very much looking forward to meeting a big shot of this level.
If there is a chance, she would like to ask this big boss to help investigate the Dingyun Rebellion.
In winter, it gets dark quickly.
Just after the afternoon, the sky had already darkened.
There is a moon tonight.
Tu Bufan came in the faint moonlight.
The first time Xie Yingmian saw Tu Bufan, she felt sick.
After listening to Fu Mo's introduction, Xie Yingmian had a rough idea in her mind that Tu Bufan should be a chivalrous and unrestrained hero.
She really didn't want to judge people by appearance.
But the way the person in front of me was dressed was really hard to describe.
The weather was very cold and Tu Bufan was only wearing a single layer of clothing.
It would have been fine if he was just wearing only a single layer of clothing, but he was also naked, dirty and smelled terrible.
I don’t know how long it has been since I washed my hair. It’s sticky. If you look closely, you can even see eggshells on it.
His face was dark and his original skin and features could not be seen.
He was not wearing shoes, his feet were bare and covered in mud, and he looked like a beggar.
