In March of Yangchun, everything recovers. On Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing, the winter wheat turns green, and it is green as far as the eye can see, looking like a flowing green ink painting. The light-yellow grass, like a lovely and tender winter jasmine, stands gracefully between the field ridges, watching the tenant farmers weeding in the fields, and silently cares about the man in charge of the traveling army.
"Master! The emperor ordered you to return to the capital immediately!" Chunhua flew all the way over, without showing any signs of panting, and bowed to the slender figure with a salute.
Yu Xiaocao frowned slightly, and said to herself with some doubts: "Order? Why did the emperor call me back to Beijing?"
Yu Xiaolian, who was bending over to pull weeds in the field, walked over quickly when she heard the sound, and said softly: "There must be something urgent, or I will announce you to the palace after you return to Beijing. I am watching here, you go back quickly." Bar."
The beginning of spring was the busy time of farming, and Yu Hai and his wife were not idle people. They left Beijing early and returned to Tanggu with their eldest son. Fearing that the youngest daughter would be unhappy because of King Yang's expedition to the West, he kept Xiaolian as her companion. On weekdays, there is someone who talks to relieve boredom, and the little girl will not think wildly. If Xiaocao hadn't been on the imperial mission, Yu Hai and his wife would have wanted to take their youngest daughter back to Tanggu to live for a while.
Concubine Jing often called Xiaocao over, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were very affectionate, and the wife of Shizi kept saying that the mother and concubine had a new man and forgot about the old one. Xiaocao knew that Princess Jing was not worried, so in order not to let her miss her, she always pretended to be cute and cute, and made delicious medicinal meals for her future mother-in-law in different ways, making Princess Jing look radiant. She looked seven or eight years younger than her actual age, which aroused the covetous eyes of the ladies in Beijing and China, and made them look forward to Yuji Herbal Cuisine even more.
The concubine Shi Zi was also under the influence of her mother-in-law, she ate a lot of good food, and her body was taken care of very well. She was pregnant unknowingly with her belly that hadn't moved for many years. The masters of Prince Jing's Mansion, the imperial physicians come every month to ask for peace of mind. The last Ping An pulse, perhaps because of the early days of pregnancy, the pulse was not obvious. When I found out the next month, it had been more than a month.
Concubine Jing repeatedly praised Xiaocao as their family's little lucky star, and it was exactly as the eminent monk of Huguo Temple said: the blessings are thick, the family is prosperous, and the family of Wangfu is returned. This has not yet entered the door, not only her dilapidated body has been nursed back to be no different from ordinary people, but her younger son's "illness" has healed without medicine, and even her eldest daughter-in-law has been exposed. bastard. He praised Xiaocao so much that he was embarrassed to step into the gate of Prince Jing's mansion for several days.
In order to avoid the spread of thoughts, Xiaocao used work to numb herself. She could have let go of the Huangzhuang farmland, but this time she spent every day in Huangzhuang doing it herself, making Huangzhuang's stewards useless. Since Zhu Junyang left Beijing, she stayed in Huangzhuang for at least six out of ten days. Of course, it's not just about Huangzhuang's farmland affairs, but she also goes to visit the workshop of Zhuangzi, the king of Yangjun next door, who is close to the back mountain.
At the foot of the mountain behind Zhuangzi, the workshop has already formed a scale, and it seems to be bigger than the one on Zhuangzi. Now, apart from the scented tea workshop at the beginning, there are also fruit wine workshops, preserved fruit workshops and canning workshops, all of which are managed by Xichun.
This girl, Xichun, has become more and more powerful and capable. She manages several workshops under her command with great vigor. The output and turnover have already surpassed that of Yuji Bakery and Ice Shop, which Yangliu manages, although she is not as good as He Chun. The "Hua Xiangrong" and the pharmaceutical workshop managed by Cherry are still very profitable.
These girls have a good relationship on weekdays, but secretly they don't care about each other. At the end of the year, when they report to the master, Xiaocao always feels that these four guys have a tendency to compete. The girls under him are more capable than the other. Ya Li Shan who is the master is so big!
At present, Xiaocao's business, "Hua Xiangrong" has always taken the high-end route, especially the membership system, so that the ladies who love beauty and comparison, like bees seeing honey, rush to give Yu Xiaocao money. The beauty and service industries have always been the most profitable, so "Hua Xiangrong" has always been the most profitable industry under her control.
Next is the pharmaceutical workshop. In addition to several Chinese patent medicines for colds, fevers, and coughs, Xiaocao has developed several pills, such as those for insomnia, blood deficiency, diabetes, and heart palpitations... In the development of Cherry Now, the pharmacy workshop in Jingzhong has expanded several times, and Yu Ji's pills can be bought in Tongrentang in the whole Northland. There is also Yu Ji's wound medicine, which is also very popular. In the eyes of others, the pharmaceutical workshop is the God of Wealth chicken that lays golden eggs!
The wine-making workshop managed by Xichun is a latecomer. Whether it is clear high-strength liquor or sweet fruit wine with health care effects, it has almost become a regular supplier of hotels and restaurants in the capital. Preserved fruit and canned fruit were also snatched by the Zhou family as a first-level agent. The workshop is only responsible for production, and the sales are fully entrusted to the Zhou family.
Huang Shuya took a small test and was responsible for the sales of preserved fruits and cans in Jingzhong. She took this opportunity to meet her idol Yu Xiaocao and asked for some sales methods. Such as holiday promotions, flash sales, hunger marketing, etc. The idol's proposal made her suddenly enlightened, and she went further and further on the road of being a strong woman. Yu Xiaocao's status in her heart has also been promoted to the temple.
The pastry and ice shop run by Yangliu is also an eye-catching industry in Beijing, but compared with the industries held by the other little sisters, it is slightly insufficient. However, she is obsessed with all kinds of food, so she doesn't pay much attention to these.
Xiaocao is going to hand over the medicated food shop to her. Yang Liu is currently practicing the cooking method of "Buddha jumps over the wall" in closed doors. Her master does not spare those precious ingredients, and Yang Liu is extremely talented in cooking. After a month, her "Buddha Jumping Wall" has 70 to 80% of her master's skill. If you can control the heat more accurately, you can start your teacher.
Uh... It seems to be a bit off topic. Let's go back to the topic that Xiaocao often "forgets eating and sleeping" while working in Huangzhuang. Therefore, the emperor summoned her for something, so he had to send people all the way to the suburbs of Beijing to pass on his oral instructions.
The emperor is also a little depressed recently. Su Ran, the right-hand man, has left. Although his disciples and grandchildren are not bad, the tacit understanding between the monarch and his ministers cannot be cultivated in a day or two. Therefore, Zhu Junfan always felt that it was not easy to do anything, and he was full of anger, ready to spit it out when Chief Su came back.
Xiaocao hurried on, didn't wash and change clothes, and went directly to the imperial city. The dragon-shaped jade tablet in her hand allowed her to go straight into the imperial study without hindrance. The emperor was sitting next to the royal case, frowning and staring at the memorial in his hand.
"Your Majesty, Miss Yu is waiting outside!" Su Li, Su Ran's successor, took a sneak peek at his master and reminded him in a low voice.
"Hurry up and come in!" Zhu Junfan straightened up and leaned on the back of the chair with a tired look on his face. It's really an eventful year, with frequent wars in the Northwest, all ministries in the Northeast are ready to move, and the racecourse outside the pass...
"Greetings to the emperor..." Xiaocao was stopped by Zhu Junfan before he could finish his kneeling.
"Okay, don't come here! This memorial, you take a look!!" Zhu Junfan took a sip of the cold coffee, and his brows frowned even tighter. Is it time for a change of cook in the kitchenette? If you can't even make a cup of coffee well, why can't you make the kind of mellow taste you drink at Yu's house
Yu Xiaocao took the memorial and flipped through it casually: It turns out that since the racecourse outside the pass has a batch of fine and handsome wild horses, it has attracted the attention of certain tribes, and various plots have followed. However, there are detoxification pills left by Xiaocao, and the well water has been transformed into a well with a touch of aura. The general conspiracy and tricks really can't help the horses in the racecourse.
However, at the beginning, Zhu Junyang was afraid that it would be too eye-catching. The pills left by Xiaocao and the spiritual energy in the well water were limited after all, so it was okay to deal with common toxins, but there are many capable people in the world, and the toxins developed are not ordinary. Detoxification pills can remove it.
This time, the racecourse outside the pass encountered a hard stubble. The horses in the racecourse, except for the wild horse leader Xuehen and the spiritual black whirlwind, escaped the catastrophe because of their innate sense of crisis, and all the other horses were caught.
The horses in the racecourse seem to have contracted a kind of equine plague. The symptoms are fever, pulmonary edema, and internal bleeding. If it weren't for the aura in the forage and drinking water and those detoxification pills, the horses in the entire racecourse would probably only have snow marks and black whirlwinds left at this time.
Even if they were discovered in time, and a lot of well water and detoxification pills were given, some old and weak horses still died because of this. The most troublesome thing is that the virus on the horse has begun to resist the detoxification pill, gradually destroying the horse's body. If you let it go on, I'm afraid...
Yu Xiaocao was very anxious. The racecourse was the brainchild of her and her fiancé Zhu Junyang. She stayed outside the customs for half a year, and it can be said that she witnessed the growth of the racecourse step by step. She has a deep affection for the horses in the racecourse. She would never let their hard work go to waste, and she would never let her fiancé, who fought on the front line, return victorious, only to hear the sad news of the destruction of the racecourse! !
"Your majesty, please make an order!!" Yu Xiaocao was very clear about the emperor's intention to summon her, holding the memorial in her hand, and looked at Zhu Junfan firmly.
Originally, Zhu Junfan had prepared a lot of words to persuade her, but now it seemed that they were all superfluous. However, he glanced at Su Li next to him, and said something more: "I know that Yu Aiqing's medical skills are superb, and her medical skills are also good, so I plan to send Aiqing and a few famous veterinarians there..."
Speaking of this, he paused, and said: "I suspect that there is a master poison maker around those foreigners. But why doesn't he inject the kind of poison that can kill with one blow, but the poison that can last for a few days?" The poison that looks like a plague is intriguing!"
Yu Xiaocao was blessed to the heart, and frowned slightly: "What does the emperor mean, poisoning the racecourse is just bait, a bait to lure someone into taking the bait?"
