Chapter 77 Communication



Wei Hanzhou was happy, but Liu Tangxi got up late the next day.

When I woke up, Wei Hanzhou was gone.

Seeing that it was almost time to open, Liu Tangxi quickly packed up and went to the shop.

Fortunately, I wasn't late.

Moreover, there was already a long queue at the door.

Liu Tangxi was very surprised and walked quickly into the shop.

"Uncle Hu, what's going on with those people outside?"

Shopkeeper Hu bowed to Liu Tangxi and said, "Miss, you are too polite. Those people outside are from various mansions, including the Princess's Mansion, the Marquis' Mansion, the Minister's Mansion, etc., who are here to buy apples."

"Ah? Why are they queuing here?" Liu Tangxi was a little confused.

Shopkeeper Hu smiled and explained, "I heard that the Marquis's wife distributed a few pounds of apples to each household a few days ago, and they didn't have enough to eat. I heard that we were opening today, so I came to buy some."

Hearing this, Liu Tangxi blinked.

She dreamed last night that she would become the richest person. However, it was just her imagination at that time, and she didn't expect that this imagination would suddenly become more and more realistic.

When the opening time came, Liu Tangxi saw that the apples were snapped up by various households before they were even put on the shelves. He felt that his dream of becoming the richest man was no longer just a fantasy.

Moreover, she seemed to have underestimated one thing.

People in Beijing have money, and they are willing to spend money on delicious food.

Even if apples were 20 cents a pound, they wouldn't even blink an eye.

Seeing that the apples delivered in the past two days were quickly sold out, Manager Hu arranged for people to transport apples from the fields.

It was not until the latter part of the afternoon, when they brought in nearly a thousand kilograms of apples, that there were no more people queuing at the door.

Most of the people in the shop are residents nearby.

It's been busy here all day, but they haven't been able to come in to see what's going on.

Now that there's no one at the door, can't you come and take a look?

The staff went to greet the individual customers. Shopkeeper Hu said to Liu Tangxi with a smile, "Madam, you see, our apples are delicious and will sell well. I think the price is still too low. However, it is not a good idea to raise the price suddenly. Why not just say that this price will be the first three days of opening, and then start raising the price on the fourth day."

Liu Tangxi glanced at the shopkeeper Hu.

But the shopkeeper Hu said, "Our apples are so delicious, but we only sell them for 20 wen per pound. Those apples that also sell for 20 wen per pound will not sell at all."

Liu Tangxi frowned and said, "Let's go with the market price, but not too high."

Shopkeeper Hu took a look at Liu Tangxi and knew her bottom line, so he had a rough idea in his mind.

The richest person or something like that was just an idea. She never thought of selling the apple at a sky-high price.

Money is enough as long as it is enough to spend and save your life.

Moreover, watching the apple delivery work going back and forth today, she thought of a better way.

A way that can make money and benefit her, Wei Hanzhou and the Yin family.

She had never imagined that her apples would be so popular.

In this case, we might as well try another approach.

Instead of such troublesome transportation, it would be better to let the people in each mansion pick the fruits directly from the fields. This would save her the trouble and allow people to pick enough.

Save manpower and material resources.

At the same time, it can also strengthen ties with various prefectures.

After thinking about it, Liu Tangxi went to the Marquis Huai'en's Mansion.

"You mean it's 10 cents per person, you can eat in, but you have to pay if you take it out?"

Liu Tangxi nodded, "Yes, or you can just buy it directly."

Yin thought about it for a while and said, "This method is not bad. It saves us a lot of trouble, and each family can buy according to their needs, so there won't be enough to buy."

"Yes, mother, you can send invitations to the ladies of various mansions to come to our apple orchard. We will let them pick apples for free first, so that they can experience it."

Liu Tangxi has decided to do this. However, she is not sure whether the ladies in the various mansions will like it.

However, even if she didn't like it, she was going to do it.

At that time, the apple field will be divided into several plots, and men and women will not be on the same side. People of different identities will go to different places.

She was not discriminating against anyone's status, but if the wife of an official family were to be in the same place with ordinary people, it would inevitably cause trouble.

In the end her stuff is the same.

Yin thought this method was relatively novel and agreed to it.

The next day, Liu Tangxi went to the farm to prepare.

Her place is not big, each plot is only about one acre in size. If it is too big, it will be difficult to manage.

The westernmost section is for officials' families and is divided into two sections: men and women.

The two acres on the easternmost side were for civilians, equally divided between men and women.

Wait until these acres of land have been harvested and then move to another place.

In addition to the servants and maids in charge, Liu Tangxi also built a shed as a resting place for people to sit inside and drink tea, wash apples, etc.

Not only that, she also prepared a lot of cakes for the ladies who would come to visit in the next few days.

Because the apples grown by Liu Tangxi are delicious, many people want to buy more, and they are also very curious about how she grows them, so many people were invited.

As a result, after arriving, they found that not only the apples were delicious, but the pastries were also delicious, and they asked for the recipe one after another.

Liu Tangxi said that it was made with apples here and grains grown on the farm.

There was nothing special about her, but Liu Tangxi left an impression of being capable in the minds of the ladies, and their impression of her gradually changed.

After they got back, they tried to make it themselves, but they couldn't get the same taste.

Later, some people came several more times just to eat cakes.

In this regard, Liu Tangxi feels that eating is something that everyone really takes very seriously.

Because of eating, many people's views of her changed.

There was a sign in the shop saying that people could pick apples on the farm. After word got out, many people became curious and went to the fields to eat apples.

Each person costs ten cents, and apples are sold at twenty cents per pound. Eating two or three is enough to break even.

The price is not high and ordinary people can afford it.

After tasting the price, most people bought some.

More and more people come to the farm to pick apples.

In particular, the ladies and daughters of various mansions found this matter very interesting and came several times.

At this moment, Liu Tangxi was accompanying Yin in greeting the eldest princess who came to pick apples in the apple garden, while Wei Hanzhou was talking to Xie Congli in the attic of Prince Jin's mansion.

Xie Congli looked at the carriage listening in the distance and said with a smile, "Brother Hanzhou, thank your wife for me."

Wei Hanzhou raised his eyebrows.

"It looks like the price of my farm is going to go up," said Xie Congli.

Wei followed Prince Jian's instructions and looked over. Although he could not see his wife clearly, he felt very proud when he saw the fruit trees that she had planted herself, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

Seeing him like this, Xie Congli was slightly stunned.

It seems that his good friend really likes his wife.

"Just hope your Highness doesn't mind her disturbing your peace."

"How come?" Xie Congli shifted his gaze and looked at the people below. "In the past, I was watched everywhere. I don't know how many eyes are watching me every time I come to the house. This way, it will be convenient for me to meet people."

Indeed, in the past, few people came to the manor, and it was extremely inconvenient to come to the palace, and it was easy to be targeted.

But with so many people, those who wanted to follow them couldn't keep an eye on everyone. It was convenient for them to meet people without being suspected.

Wei Hanzhou understood, and the two of them looked at each other with a tacit understanding in their expressions.

At this time, a guard in formal attire came up.

"Your Highness, Lord Wei, the Minister of War is here. Your Highness invites you two to come over."

On the other side, after the eldest princess and the little princess finished picking apples, Yin accompanied them back to the capital.

After seeing Yin off, Liu Tangxi called Manager Zhang over.

Liu Tangxi listened to Manager Zhang reporting how much money they had earned today and which ladies and young masters had visited, and the smile on his face never faded.

When the sun was about to set, she returned to the house.

At this time, Wei Hanzhou was already waiting for her in the house.

"What's the point of reading books in the house every day? It's very hot outside. It's hot today too. You should move around." Liu Tangxi said with a smile.

Wei Hanzhou raised his hand to smooth down her messy hair because she took off her veil, and said, "Well, are you tired?"

Liu Tangxi shook his head and said, "I'm not tired. But we should go back soon, or it will be dark if we go any later."

"good."

Liu Tangxi and Wei Hanzhou left in a carriage.

In the apple orchard nearby, the servants were cleaning up the dirt in the yard where ordinary people picked apples, but suddenly they found a person sitting under a tree and reading a book.

"Young man, why are you still here? We have closed the garden a long time ago." The servant said unhappily.

After saying that, he looked at the dozen or so apples on the ground and looked at the man with an increasingly unfriendly look.

I spent ten cents and ate a dozen apples. It was really worth it!

The servant stared at the man's clothes and didn't look like he was from a poor family. He must have been raised by some wealthy local tycoon.

Humph, they will take advantage of their mansion.

The second prince was engrossed in reading a book. When he heard this, he raised his head blankly. When he looked at the sky again, the sun had already set.

"Oh, sorry, sorry, I forgot the time."

"Let's go." said the servant with a frown.

The second prince quickly closed the book and left in a dejected manner.

The servant had to clean up all the apple cores on the ground.

Speaking of which, the second prince ate the apples grown in Liutangxi from Wei Hanzhou. After eating it once, he couldn't stop.

He found that eating it made his mind clearer.

And, strangely, he was the only one who had this obvious problem, while others didn't seem to have it that serious. Everyone just thought it was delicious and didn't think it was anything special.

Because he had a feud with Liu Tangxi, he was afraid of being recognized and did not dare to come openly, so he could only sneak out of the capital. After coming here, he did not dare to go to the orchard prepared for the rich and powerful, but only dared to read in the apple orchard prepared for ordinary people, where no one knew him.

It's very comfortable to sit here and eat apples while reading a book.

When they reached the end of the field, the second prince could hardly walk.

He hadn't eaten all day and had only eaten a dozen apples. He was so hungry that he was afraid he couldn't walk into the palace.

He looked around and saw two manors. The farther one was Liu Tangxi's manor, which he would definitely not go to. The closer one belonged to someone else, but he hoped they would invite him to have a meal.

When they walked over and found that it was the manor of Prince Jin's palace, the Second Prince cried with joy. Not only did he want to have dinner there, he also planned to stay the night.

Liu Tangxi and Wei Hanzhou returned before dark.

After returning to the bustling capital, Liu Tangxi no longer felt like cooking when seeing the delicious food sold on the roadside. She bought a lotus leaf roasted chicken and went to the largest restaurant to order four vegetarian dishes.

By the way, this largest restaurant was opened by Liu Yanan.

With the support of the Marquis of Huai'en Mansion and the Third Prince, as well as modern management methods, the business is very prosperous.

Although she is not on good terms with Liu Luan, Liu Tangxi will not be hard on her own stomach.

When it comes to eating, of course you want to eat the best.

After returning home, Liu Tangxi processed the dishes a little bit, and instantly, the dishes became more delicious.

When the two returned home and sat together for dinner, Liu Tangxi thought of what happened during the day and started chatting with Wei Hanzhou, "Speaking of which, not only did the eldest princess come today, but also the Crown Princess and people from her mother's family, the Duke of Ming's Mansion. From the looks of it, it seems that they are trying to get close to the people in each mansion."

At this point, Liu Tangxi thought of the trend in the book and tried again, "You are not close to the prince now, right?"

In the past, Wei Hanzhou would have responded to her in a dignified manner.

But now, I heard him say, "No, I rarely see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I am not close to the Third Prince. I am only loyal to the Emperor."

Liu Tangxi paused for a moment, then a look of relief appeared on his face.

"Well, that's good." Liu Tangxi said, "But don't refuse too harshly, or you'll offend the Third Prince."

Wei Hanzhou picked up a chestnut and put it in Liu Tangxi's bowl, saying, "Well, I understand, my wife, you don't have to worry. The prince has a violent temper and is not liked by the emperor. I'm afraid he will be deposed soon. Compared with the prince, the third prince is more likely to ascend the throne."

Every word of these words hit Liu Tangxi's heart, and she almost didn't recognize Wei Hanzhou anymore.

Wei Goudan never told her these things before, what happened recently?

It seems that he occasionally brings up these things these days.

"Why are you suddenly telling me this?" Liu Tangxi asked puzzledly.

Wei Hanzhou raised his head, looked into Liu Tangxi's eyes, and said calmly, "Didn't my wife ask?"

Liu Tangxi blinked and thought, "You just tell me what I ask you? How come I've never seen you so obedient before?"

Speaking of which, Wei Hanzhou seemed to have changed after they consummated their marriage.

He became more considerate and silent, and he seemed to be able to see through what she was thinking.

"Well, you have to do this next time. You have to answer whatever I ask you. You can't just give me a perfunctory answer, and you can't not answer at all. Do you remember?" Liu Tangxi reminded.

"Okay." Wei Hanzhou responded obediently.

In the past, it wasn't that he didn't want to tell her all this, but he was afraid. He was afraid that he was alone and weak and might make mistakes, and he was afraid that he would lose everything and hurt her.

Not anymore.

In the dream, he lost, but in reality, he will not lose. ,,,
