"30 cents!" Eunuch Hai was shocked. Why is the price getting higher and higher?
He flicked his sleeves and turned around.
Situ Xiu returned to the bedroom.
......
Under the pitch-black night, a group of people on both sides walked in the darkness holding lanterns. Two princesses sat in the two sedan chairs in the front and back, and they were on their way to Kyoto.
Rustle~!
Suddenly, several people flew out from the bushes on both sides of the road. They were dressed in black and were extremely inconspicuous in the darkness. Then came groups of people, about dozens of people.
“Enemy attack!!!”
The woman on horseback in front shouted loudly, and the two women behind her drew their swords and flew out to fight. The armored soldiers on both sides threw away their lanterns, picked up their weapons and stood guard beside the sedan chair. The six women on horseback at the back took out their weapons to fight.
Ding ding!!
The swords and knives were invisible, and the two sides met in the dark and started fighting immediately.
Two sedan chairs landed on the ground, and the eldest princess Situ Qing opened the curtains and walked out, her cold eyes sweeping around.
"Innate master!!"
Situ Qing knew the strength of her own men, who were able to fight hers to a draw. This group of people were at least at the innate level.
The nine people she brought with her were between the third and fifth levels of the innate realm, two of them were at the fifth level of the innate realm, and the remaining seven were between the third and fourth levels of the innate realm.
The remaining armored soldiers are all in the acquired realm.
The nine people were entangled by nine enemy shadowy figures, and the remaining men in black rushed towards the armored army, and a fight began.
“The situation is not good!!”
Situ Qing frowned and immediately walked towards the sedan chair behind him.
The third princess, Situ Yue, had already stepped out of the sedan chair. Her little face was pale with fear. She had always lived in the palace and had never seen such a scene of bloodshed.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Situ Qing held Situ Yue's little hand and found that it was cold and trembling, so he hurriedly comforted her.
"Eldest sister." Situ Yue's tears fell, and her voice trembled slightly.
Situ Qing glanced around with cold eyes. There were dozens of enemies, including more than ten innate masters. It was obvious that she was at a disadvantage, and more than ten armored soldiers had fallen.
The nine people were still fighting with the enemy and could not get through for the time being. She was also an innate master, and her realm was at the fifth level of the innate realm, but she had to protect Situ Yue and could not take action.
Even though Situ Yue has entered the innate realm, his true strength and combat experience are still at the acquired realm.
"what to do!!"
Situ Qing appeared calm on the surface, but he was a little panicked inside. He knew that if he continued like this, he would be caught by the enemy sooner or later.
She herself was not afraid, but she was worried that the enemy would capture Situ Yue and use her as a threat.
"Return to Xiuhe Manor? No, there are no experts at the Fourth Prince's place, and I can't lead the enemy there."
"Kyoto is still ten minutes away on horseback."
Several thoughts flashed through Situ Qing's mind quickly. Finally, he gritted his teeth and looked at the two people fighting in the distance.
"Chen Lin, Wang Lan, give me a hand."
Situ Qing pulled Situ Yue and jumped onto a white horse. When the two women heard her words, they immediately got rid of the men in black and made a way for her.
"drive!"
Situ Qing and Situ Yue rode on white horses, heading towards Kyoto, and soon disappeared into the night.
Situ Qing shed a tear as she left. These subordinates she brought with her had been with her since childhood and had protected her day and night for many years. Naturally, there was some affection between the master and servant.
Now that she had abandoned these people, she felt sad, but there was nothing she could do.
The man in black saw the two princesses running away and wanted to chase them, but was stopped by the eldest princess's men.
For a moment, it was impossible to tell who was winning and they could only watch and leave.
Cucumbers can be used and eaten.
There are so many ways to cook it, such as cold cucumber salad with cilantro, stir-fried cucumber slices, shredded cucumber noodles, and pickled cucumbers....
There are also uses, such as applying cucumber slices on the face, beautifying the skin...
The Fourth Prince personally cooked and taught the chefs how to cook cucumbers, which stunned the chefs, Eunuch Hai and the three palace maids.
"Your Highness, this is amazing."
"Well, there's nothing Your Highness doesn't know. You're really amazing."
"Cucumbers are really delicious. They taste great when mixed with cold."
“Cilantro is also good and really delicious with cucumber.”
"I don't know if I can eat pickled cucumbers. I really want to eat them."
"No, His Highness said we have to wait a day and can only eat it the next day."
Several people in the kitchen were talking, interrupting each other.
"The method is very simple. You have tasted cucumbers before. I don't want you to innovate now. I hope you can innovate the method of cooking cucumbers in the future."
"Tomorrow, you will follow Eunuch Hai into the city and cook cucumbers. I want everyone in Kyoto to taste the taste of cucumbers."
Situ Xiu also wanted to go to Kyoto, but he was still under punishment. If he went to Kyoto, he would easily be reported and would be considered to be ignoring the authority of the empress.
The last time the empress allowed him to enter the palace, it actually meant entering the palace secretly without letting anyone know, that is, entering the palace at night when no one was around, and not exposing himself when watching the competition.
It's very simple, just wear a mask and disguise yourself as a servant.
He didn't know what the empress was thinking, but he could probably guess it, just like when parents feel there is a good TV series or movie to watch, they hope their children can see it too.
.....
The next day.
In Kyoto's busiest vegetable market, an open space was surrounded by a crowd of onlookers.
There were five stoves and five chefs cooking delicious food. On a long table nearby, there were more than ten large plates with various cooked cucumbers.
"Everyone, these are the latest cucumbers we've planted. They're fragrant, sweet, and delicious. You'll love them once you try them. Anyone who wants to try them can have one or two."
Lanhua, Qiumei and Juxiang were selling their goods, while Eunuch Hai arranged for people to distribute cucumbers in an orderly manner for people to taste.
People in Kyoto were curious about the appearance of the new variety of cucumber, especially when they learned that it was free to taste. The place was suddenly crowded with people who wanted to taste the cucumber.
No matter which world it is, everyone likes free things.
Situ Zhengxing had this idea in mind: try first and then buy. If you want to capture a person, you must first capture her stomach.
By the same token, to open up the market, customers must be able to taste the flavor.
If it tastes good, people will definitely buy it. If it doesn’t taste good, no one will buy it.
The vegetable market is the busiest place in Kyoto. People buy vegetables all day long, and the daily flow of people here is very large.
Wang Xiaoling, the kitchen manager of Yiquyuan, brings ten of her subordinates to the vegetable market to buy vegetables every day.
"Hey, what are they doing up ahead? Why are there so many people?"
