Shi Yu's heart skipped a beat when she saw Zhao Jun smiling at her from the opposite side.
For some reason, she always felt that the person opposite her was smiling very strangely.
Zhao Jun left an impression on her the last time they met.
That's clever and cunning.
She had no idea what the other party was up to this time.
However, there was one detail that made Shi Yu somewhat happy.
Zhao Jun did not call her Miss Shi, but called her Boss San.
She didn't just treat her as a younger sister of the Shi family, but as the boss of the Shi family's business.
Shi Yu had more to say about Zhao Jun.
Although she is cunning, it is not impossible to get along with her.
"Master Zhao, it's really a coincidence to meet you here."
Shi Yu put on a gentle smile, showing no sign of his hot temper in private.
"Greetings, Lord Zhao."
Shi Gan greeted them and then stopped talking. He didn't like to talk in front of strangers.
"Where are you two going?"
Zhao Jun began to ask questions.
Shi Yu practiced Tai Chi and just said that he was going out to collect some goods.
The two of them exchanged pleasantries for a long time, and Zhao Jun became impatient, so he decided to just speak directly.
Shi Yu could no longer suppress his anger.
"Boss Shi, this is our first time in Ba County. We heard from County Magistrate Zhu that the Shi family is the largest producer and seller of Sichuan peppercorns in the entire county."
"So, I was a little curious about the growing environment of this peppercorn, after all, I had never seen it before."
"So I'd like to ask Mr. Shi if you have time to take us to visit your pepper plantation."
What Zhao Jun said was extremely sincere, and she really thought so.
So this is what it was about. I thought it was going to be some big news, as it took so long to build up to it.
"Of course, no problem. It just so happens that I'm going up the mountain with my brother tomorrow, so I can show the adults around."
Shi Yu breathed a sigh of relief and agreed.
Zhao Jun and Xiao He also returned satisfied.
In the evening, Shi Yu was thinking about this while preparing to eat.
"Second brother, you said there won't be any fraud here, right?"
Shi Yu couldn't help but feel suspicious.
"No, he's a court official. He shouldn't have done anything bad."
Shigan replied.
"That's right, it should be fine."
Shi Yu felt relieved and prepared to ask the kitchen to serve dinner.
At this time, Shi Hong, who had run away, came back.
"You're back so soon. I thought you weren't coming back for dinner."
Shi Yu didn't have time to retort him at this moment, so he just asked lightly.
"No, I just went to Uncle Chai's place and didn't see her. I went to the house over there and they said she was out."
"I came up empty-handed. Where did she go?"
Shi Hong was a little confused.
"I know where she went."
Shi Yu and Shi Gan next to him looked at each other and smiled slyly.
The next morning, Linjiao County was filled with noise.
"Second brother, little sister, it's my duty as a big brother to inspect our pepper fields!"
Shi Hong followed behind the two of them and patted his chest.
Shi Yu was speechless and didn't want to turn around and talk to him.
Ever since this guy knew that Zhao Jun was going to be with them today, he volunteered to come along.
You should know that the growth and quality of Sichuan pepper have always been the responsibility of Shi Gan, and Shi Hong rarely goes there.
What is this now? Everyone knows what I am thinking!
After a while, Zhao Jun came over with a few people.
"Good morning, bosses! Are we late?"
Zhao Jun, Xiao He, Liu Bang and others were there.
"No, no, Your Excellency has arrived just in time."
Shi Hong quickly stepped forward.
Shi Yu rolled her eyes secretly when she saw him like that.
Zhao Jun nodded and smiled at him politely, then walked straight to Shi Yu and stood with her.
"Thank you for your hospitality today, Boss San. Let's go now."
Shi Yu smiled, and the group slowly walked towards their destination.
Zhao Jun was talking to Shi Yu all the way, and Shi Hong could only follow behind silently.
Not only that, he also had to endure Liu Bang's evil voice.
Xiao He was too busy to take care of him these past few days, and he was almost bored to death alone.
This time when we went out for a stroll together, he never stopped talking.
Xiao He was used to his chattering, but Shi Hong was not.
So while the people in front were chatting happily, the faces of the people behind them were getting darker and darker.
After walking for a while, they finally arrived at the place.
“I don’t think I’ve ever been to this place before.”
Liu Bang looked around and shook his head.
"Most of you were in Linjiao County before, and your current location is a bit far from the county."
“Sichuan pepper generally needs height to grow, so the hills here are mainly where it’s grown.”
Shi Yu led his men a few more steps and soon saw the pepper trees all over the mountain and the noisy crowd.
"The hill above is planted with pepper trees, and the houses below are our family's saviors."
Shi Yu gave a detailed introduction.
"Boss San, what do those people over there do? They don't look like your workers."
Zhao Jun narrowed his eyes and pointed at the people over there.
Shi Yu took a look and answered.
"That's where we buy our peppercorns. The people you see are from nearby villages. They sell their peppercorns to us."
Zhao Jun understood, as Zhu Lin had mentioned this kind of thing before.
Afterwards, several people followed Shi Yu up the mountain.
This hill is not very high and is nothing compared to the continuous mountains in Ba County.
Later, when we talk about the quality and growth habits of Sichuan pepper, we will return to Shigan’s home turf.
