Chapter 019: Need some more?
Qin Zhaoyue returned to the princess's mansion happily.
When he heard that the two managers had run their business well and had paid double the fine, he couldn't control the smile on his face.
"I'm such a talented person!"
Now, the donation problem has been completely solved, the tower has been cleared, and five talents have been recruited.
The big fool, born with supernatural powers and low intelligence, is perfect for training to be a loyal guard.
Those who are good at numerology have passed the Ming Suan exam and are serious PhD graduates in mathematics, which can be used in accounting and overall planning.
After the industry is replanned, he can be released to become a big manager or something.
Painter...she is very useful!
Those novels and short plays in my previous life were not written in vain. The popular vernacular novels nowadays are nothing more than stories about talented men and beautiful women, gods and monsters, and strange stories.
Tsk, totally not good enough.
Qin Zhaoyue only needs to make up a few sets and add some illustrations, and he will make a lot of money!
These three are all quite practical, but the remaining one, an alchemist and a magician, seem to be useless, but they are actually foreshadowings she has laid.
It is secondary for a Taoist priest to know medicine and be able to make elixirs; the key is that he can do some research.
What is important about a magic trick is not the trick itself, but the fact that he can design and make the ingenious mechanism himself.
The common point is that they are all creative.
As someone who has experienced the information explosion and the era of Kuaishou, Qin Zhaoyue knows a lot of knowledge.
Ice making, simple cement, a rough formula for gunpowder, repairing cow hooves, making hot pot base, carpet cleaning, fishing bait, beauty techniques, dynamic light waves, window cleaning, driving test three, APT, and more news from Six Star Street...
The knowledge learned is so diverse that any bit of it can be very explosive in this era.
Technology is the primary productive force. Qin Zhaoyue plans to keep the two of them for now and observe them first. If there really is a money-making project, he will have an excuse.
It was already afternoon, but I wasn't too hungry after having brunch, so I asked the kitchen to prepare more meals.
After all, we have just recruited some talented people, so it is only right to treat them to a meal before starting work.
Not long after, Xiyu came to report that the situation of Dashage had been investigated clearly.
He was in the theater in the south of the city. His size was so eye-catching that you could find out a lot of information just by asking around.
It was exactly the same as what I heard in the tower, and it was even more miserable.
Because his brain was not strong enough, he could not do any work that was slightly complicated, and he was only carrying heavy objects of low value.
Carrying sandbags, bricks and stones and doing unpaid labor was a common occurrence for him, and even children could bully him.
He lived in a dilapidated, deserted house, and his only possessions were a straw mat, a clay pot, and a piece of tattered cloth.
Things have finally started to improve since I met that middle-aged warrior named Lu Tieshan.
"Lu Tieshan was originally an escort and a seventh-rank warrior. He was later severely injured and his blood and energy were greatly damaged, and his path to martial arts was cut short.
He then made a living by forging iron and mending pots, while his wife did some laundry at home.
Life was very tight, and we could only occasionally help the child and give him a full meal."
"Wait a minute," Qin Zhaoyue raised her hand to interrupt him, "What child?"
Xiyu had a strange expression on her face. "That big, stupid guy. He's only sixteen..."
Qin Zhaoyue's eyes widened, his mouth open with a dazed look on his face.
Xiyu didn't find it strange at all. He was also stunned when he first heard the news.
He was eight feet tall and as strong as a bear, but he had just had his hair tied up for a year and was still far from being an adult.
After a long while, Qin Zhaoyue waved her hand and said, "Go on."
"The manager on the first floor is trying to collect a salary without doing anything, and is looking for 'talent' everywhere to increase the number of applicants so that he can take advantage of the situation.
Lu Tieshan was the number one tinker and that kid was the most powerful, and each of them received five taels of silver every month.
Lu Tieshan collected all the money for him and took care of his meals, but he probably didn't cheat anyone, and he even had to contribute a little every month."
"Wait a moment!" Qin Zhaoyue stopped him again. "Do you think I don't know the price of grain? Ten coins for a dou of coarse grain, and five taels of silver for food, and I still have to pay for it?"
Xiyu didn't find it strange at all when he heard this. He was still stunned when he first heard the news.
"Your Highness, it's true."
Qin Zhaoyue took a deep breath and said, "Someone, tell the kitchen to prepare three more servings of food."
After a thorough investigation, the conclusion is that there is nothing wrong. It is impossible that they have been plotting a fool for more than ten years just to send him to the princess's mansion to trick her, right?
"Ask the man surnamed Lu if he's willing to come into the mansion.
As an escort, he will always be able to drive a carriage, and his wife will do some cleaning work, and both are paid five taels a month."
Xiyu suddenly raised her head, her face filled with uncontrollable shock. Could it be that her master had... softened his heart?
Is this still the rude, unreasonable and absurd Sixth Princess?
"What are you looking at? Get out of here!"
"Okay."
After Xiyu conducted an investigation, she also had a favorable impression of the Lu family couple. She was afraid of angering His Highness and destroying the little sympathy that had finally arisen in her heart.
He didn't dare to say anything and quickly retreated after bowing.
Qin Zhaoyue believes that he is not purely kind-hearted.
He was able to take care of that silly child without any relationship with him, and he dared to stand up and speak for him in front of me, a princess, on the first floor. At least he has good character.
He used to be a seventh-rank warrior, more than qualified to be a rickshaw driver.
Ten taels of silver a month, you can do a favor for others and continue to take care of the silly child at the same time, the cost-effectiveness is very high.
Two quarters of an hour later, a table was set up in the hall to entertain five talented people.
Although they entered the first floor, no one expected that they would actually be admitted into the princess's mansion.
So many scholars and warriors didn't want them, and the remaining four were all picked out from miscellaneous items. They were all very panicked for a moment and didn't know what to do with their hands and feet.
The big guy seemed to be infected by the atmosphere. His eyes were rolling around with curiosity, and his hands were resting on his legs without moving.
When he sat down, he was like a small mountain, but he looked extremely well-behaved.
Soon, lunch was served.
In order to be more approachable to the people, Qin Zhaoyue asked for the preparation of dishes other than the exquisite ones from the previous two days, which were more suitable for ordinary people.
The main dishes were only roasted lamb and golden minced fish, and the rest were seasonal vegetable ice drinks, but the portions were quite generous.
Qin Zhaoyue didn't ask for any special treatment and ate the same dishes as everyone else.
Having experienced eating in the cafeteria, ordering takeout, and cooking for herself, she didn't feel anything was a problem and enjoyed her meals just as much.
But she caught a glimpse of the silly child standing there without moving his chopsticks. "Um... idiot, what's wrong with you?"
The big fool raised his head and looked up, "Pretty sister, can these... be eaten?"
Qin Zhaoyue's heart trembled again.
After listening to Xiyu, I specially prepared a large lunch for him.
Everyone else had a plate of roasted lamb in front of them, but he had a whole leg of lamb in front of him.
You could see the desire in the silly child's eyes, and he couldn't even stop swallowing his saliva, but he was too cautious to eat it.
His voice softened unconsciously. "You can eat whatever's in front of you. Eat it with confidence."
"oh!"
The fool cheered and couldn't wait to grab the lamb leg and start biting it.
Watching him eat is like watching food shows in my previous life, and the food tastes even better.
With this little episode, the other four people in the hall gradually relaxed.
As time passed, both Qin Zhaoyue and the other four put down their chopsticks one after another, and everyone's eyes turned to the table on the left side in front of them.
The fool seemed unaware and continued to quickly finish the food in front of him.
Without making everyone wait too long, the lunch for five people was completely finished.
Qin Zhaoyue spoke at this time, "Are you full?"
The fool held his stomach, a look of obvious hesitation flashing across his face, "Eat...I'm full."
But who can't see that this statement is obviously false?
"You can't lie to me in the future. You must tell the truth!" Qin Zhaoyue said with a stern look.
Such a big man shrank his neck, and finally hesitantly said the truth, "I'm not full."
Qin Zhaoyue:!
She now completely believed that the five taels a month and she had to pay some money into it was the truth.
This isn't just food, there's a whole leg of lamb as a base. Aren't you full yet?
"Come on, bring three more servings of food, and more meat."
"No, no!" The fool waved his big hands like a palm leaf fan, "As long as I have food to eat, that's enough."
Qin Zhaoyue sighed secretly, "You must protect me well in the future, and I will have enough food to eat every day."
The fool's eyes burst into a surprising look, and then he covered the back of his head and laughed foolishly, "Beautiful sister, you are so nice."
Everyone in the hall: ...
Dare to call this Sixth Princess Sister, it seems like she doesn't mind it, it's really a fool's luck...
However, their uneasy hearts have calmed down a lot now. It seems that the Sixth Princess is not as bad as the outside world says.
He showed a brutal side on the first floor, but only to those on the register who went too far.
Anyone with some talent was given a chance and even recruited.
Thinking this way, this kind of master seems not bad?
Soon, meals for three people were served again.
The fool didn't care that everyone was looking at him and started to eat voraciously again.
I thought three portions were already exaggerated enough, but in a short while they were all finished, and they even looked like they were still not satisfied.
This time, Qin Zhaoyue did not mention the serving of dishes.
There were eight portions of food in total, and plenty of meat. She was afraid that this silly boy might overeat because he had never eaten so many delicious dishes before. Anyway, there was still a long time to go, so she could take it slow.
He is still growing at the age of sixteen. If he can learn a few moves, combined with his physique and strength, he will definitely be a good bodyguard.
"Silly..." He opened his mouth and stopped. Qin Zhaoyue always felt that calling someone a fool was not appropriate. "Do you have a name?"
The fool nodded and said, "Just call me fool."
Although Lu Tieshan's family would often help him, they only gave him some food.
I felt that I had no obligation to raise him, so I did not change his name.
Qin Zhaoyue thought for a moment, "From now on, your name will be Ping An. Can you remember that?"
"Ping An...Ping An..." The fool muttered to himself many times before nodding his head. "Beautiful sister, I can remember. My name is Ping An!"
Qin Zhaoyue's eyebrows curved unconsciously. Who could understand? The beautiful sister suddenly had a "motherly" feeling.
"Alright, let's take them downstairs to rest first. Um, the painter, please stay for a moment."
The painter, who was about to leave quietly, felt a pang in his heart:
The princess kept him here on purpose... for what?
