Chapter 162 Blinded by the Light
Mu Ning was curious whether it was really delicious, so he took a bite.
It’s really delicious.
It was just perfect for his taste.
No matter how much Mu Ning hated his background, he couldn't escape his taste preferences.
People in Huacheng eat light food and like sweet food, so tomato rice really suits their taste.
Seeing that Mu Ning liked scrambled eggs with tomatoes so much, Xie Shuangbai asked Xiaoqiu to make another one.
After a while, a bowl of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and plenty of tomato soup came up.
Xie Shuangbai served some more to the two children and pushed the rest to Mu Ning.
"Mu Ning, I didn't expect you to have a baby taste. Eat this."
Mu Ning blushed when he heard that, and muttered to himself something about baby taste, and it was strangely... accurate.
Of course, Mu Ning was not polite. The rich tomato soup wrapped around the rice made him immediately promote this dish to his favorite.
He asked, "What is this red thing? I've never seen it before. It's sour and delicious."
Xie Shuangbai: "This is a tomato. I got it by chance."
Mu Ning really loves it. It would be great if I could eat it every day.
"Can you give me some seeds? I want to plant them!"
"You want to plant?" He looked at Mu Ning doubtfully: "Do you know how to plant?"
Mu Ning was embarrassed. He really didn't know how to plant it. "I can find someone to plant it. Besides, Brother Xiaoyan must know how to plant it!"
Xie Shuangbai looked at Qin Yan and thought of Rong Ye. Since Rong Ye knew how to farm, Qin Yan must be able to do it too.
Qin Yan smiled innocently, "I'm not good at growing them, we can find someone else to grow them!"
Xie Shuangbai didn't expect that Qin Yan was not good at farming. It seems that not everyone can do this.
Xie Shuangbai agreed to teach Mu Ning how to grow tomatoes, and Mu Ning was so happy that he ate another bowl of rice.
The meal lasted from 1:00 to 1:00 pm.
A table full of dishes, three large pots of rice, and two large baskets of steamed buns were all gone.
He saw that everyone had eaten so much that their bellies were full, so he thought the food was to their liking.
After dinner, he asked Rong Ye to take Rong Chi back first, as he wanted to go and see how the greenhouse was being built.
Rong Ye wanted to go with him, but Rong Chi was sleepy so he had to take him back first.
When Xie Shuangbai found Zhao Dunzi, he was directing the workers to dig the ground.
A worker working nearby saw Xie Shuangbai and said something to Zhao Dunzi. He turned around and saw Xie Shuangbai and ran over: "Why are you here? It's very dirty here!"
"What's the big deal? Aren't you all busy?"
Zhao Dunzi's two rows of white teeth were very obvious on his dark face. "I ate all the food for lunch. It was so delicious that I ate a few more bowls of rice. I told you that you should open a restaurant."
"You Ran Ju is open, but it's not enough for you. The spicy hot pot has too many ingredients and not enough seasoning."
Zhao Dunzi thought so too. He used real ingredients in his cooking. The amount of chili peppers he put in lunch today was really scary.
Zhao Dunzi thought of something important and said, "Oh, right, the kang bed and toilet have been rebuilt. Now all that's left is the greenhouse and bathroom. We'll start work tomorrow when the plumbing arrives. It should be finished before the New Year."
Xie Shuangbai thought that it would not be possible before the New Year, so that he could arrange for his little strawberries and little tomatoes.
"That's great! We can have as much vegetables as we want in winter!"
Zhao Dunzi looked at him and smiled: "Once the greenhouse is ready, I guarantee you'll have endless fresh vegetables to eat."
He has also seen clearly these days in the palace that his younger brother can be said to be the top leader of the palace.
He had probably guessed it before.
But from the servants' occasional conversations about what happened between him and the prince, he still had some... indescribable feeling.
After a day of struggling, he finally figured it out. No matter what, his younger brother could finally live a life with a wife and children.
In that case, he shouldn't worry about it anymore. Just be happy!
He looked at the words that were on the tip of Xie Shuangbai's tongue, but in the end he didn't say them.
He said a few words to him and then turned and walked towards the dusty construction site.
Because the productivity of the car did not meet the conditions for joining the franchise these days, Xie Shuangbai asked Wang Yunnian to go and handle the franchising after the new year.
Years ago, I asked him and Hei Dou to concentrate on solving the noodle workshop problem.
If one new workshop is not enough, he will build two. He is not afraid of not being able to sell the products, but only of not being able to keep up with the production.
After receiving the assignment, the two of them went to work on the new workshop with Wang Dong.
In a blink of an eye, there are only ten days left until the Chinese New Year.
Xie Shuangbai called Butler Hong to instruct him on what he needed to do before the New Year.
"Butler Hong, please order more pork and mutton this year. I will ask Wang Yun to send some more New Year's goods over and distribute them to everyone in the mansion as holiday gifts.
Each person will receive an extra month's salary at the end of the year, and additional red envelopes will also be arranged.
The rest of the matters will continue to be done as before.”
Upon hearing this, Butler Hong immediately bowed and said, "This old servant thanks the master on behalf of everyone in the mansion."
Xie Shuangbai: "Everyone has worked hard all year. The prince and I will not be celebrating the New Year at home this year. I'll be thanking you for your hard work when we get there."
When Butler Hong heard that the prince would not be spending the New Year at home, he was shocked.
He was a little disappointed. The palace was always deserted every year. This year, seeing how his master arranged things, he thought he would spend the New Year at home.
But since the master has made the decision, he should just do as he is told.
"Master, rest assured! I will take good care of the mansion. Since you will not be spending the New Year at home, have you prepared the gifts for your return trip? The palace has many gifts from the palace. You may want to pick some out to take back as gifts."
Xie Shuangbai really didn't expect this.
As expected of the steward who often handled the affairs of the palace, he woke him up with one word.
Things bought outside are definitely not as good as the rewards from the palace.
He asked, "Can the rewards given by Butler Hong be given to others as gifts?"
Butler Hong smiled and said, "Since it has entered the palace's treasury, it is naturally the master who makes the decision."
Xie Shuangbai smiled and said, "Okay, then please take me to the warehouse to have a look."
In Xie Shuangbai's mind, Rong Ye is a poor prince who is not loved by his mother and his brother, and he has to support a lot of soldiers.
When he was taken to the huge warehouse by Butler Hong, he was stunned.
No wonder they say a lean camel is bigger than a horse.
Xie Shuangbai held up a night-shining pearl the size of an egg and asked, "Aren't these a bit too many?"
Butler Hong smiled kindly, "Your Highness has won many battles over the years, and the barbarians have also sent many gifts of surrender. Night-shining pearls are the most common."
He pointed to the big box in the corner and said, "There's another box over there. If you like, take it!"
Xie Shuangbai looked at everything around him and laughed in his heart.
Unexpectedly, he was the one who was made the joke.
Thinking of the night light he used in front of Rongye, it was so weak.
He has always been curious about what it feels like to use a night-shining pearl to illuminate something as described in the book.
He must try it tonight!
He picked up a box of night-shining pearls and said, "I'll use these for lighting."
Uncle Hong looked at Xie Shuangbai kindly. He looked at them with such honor that finally a master could use these items. He said, "As long as the master likes it."
Xie Shuangbai saw boxes piled up inside, so he turned around and opened one at random.
I was so scared that the night pearl in my hand almost fell down.
This, this, this...
The boxes of jewels in front of him simply blinded his eyes!
