Luo Huaiyuan, who was curious about Yan Yan, was being forced at the moment.
Not anything else, but no money in hand. You don't need money to do anything. Without money, all ideas are empty.
He rummaged through all of his and Xiao Anzi's property and found that the two hard-pressed ones had almost no money. Xiao Anzi was a little richer than him, and he still had a few taels of silver.
Luo Huaiyuan was tragic. He searched all over his body and found nothing.
What kind of money does the prince need? Food, drink, and accommodation are all in the palace. Of course, the prince who has a lot of money will definitely reward the servants and servants of the palace. When he makes a shot, he will be golden beans and golden leaves, but this has nothing to do with Luo Huaiyuan. The prince who is fond of and occasionally hungry, who gives him money as a reward for the palace servants.
The clothes and fabrics he wears are not bad, and there are a lot of jade pendants, but the things that come out of the palace are all made by the imperial family. Unless someone is mentally disabled, they will accept these. Of course, Luo Huaiyuan would not exchange these things for money. If he was accidentally discovered, the price would be so high that he could not imagine it.
Very embarrassing!
Very embarrassing!
The Prince's Mansion has money on the books. The Prince's food and clothing are all purchased by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and some money is allocated for the Prince's daily expenses. But the money was not in Luo Huaiyuan's hands. The gate god of Eunuch Xi, the head of the Fourth Prince's Mansion, was still there, so there was no difference.
Even if he finds an excuse to sell some money from the account, what can he do in a hundred or so!
Luo Huaiyuan was about to despair, almost!
…
Xiao Anzi pushed open the door and came in, carrying bags of various pastries and fruits, as well as two candied haws.
"His Royal Highness, the slaves have bought everything you want."
In a corner of the room, Luo Huaiyuan was rolling hard while holding the medicine roller.
Seeing Xiao Anzi coming in, he dropped the copper bowl in his hand, grabbed the candied haws in Xiao Anzi's hand, and bit one down.
"The old man didn't ask questions, did he?"
Xiao Anzi wiped away his sweat, "That's not true. Boss Xi saw that the slave bought so many snacks and came back. He just glanced at it and said nothing."
"That's true, it's not annoying to ask every day." Luo Huaiyuan mumbled vaguely.
Xiao Anzi put all kinds of paper bags in his hand on the table, and he took out two brown-yellow paper bags on purpose, "This is what you told me to buy."
Luo Huaiyuan first had a look of joy in his eyes, and then curled his lips, "This little bit, it's gone in three or two strokes."
Xiao Anzi had lost the strength to cry with a sad face, "Your Highness, you can't bring too much, or else it should be discovered by Director Xi."
Luo Huaiyuan hummed, biting the candied haws in his mouth.
"tired?"
Xiao Anzi nodded, she must be tired. After wandering around most of the capital, there are famous and delicious snacks everywhere. From the west city to the south city, everyone will be tired.
"Are you hungry?"
Xiao Anzi just wanted to nod, but stopped.
"Eat cakes when you're hungry."
Xiao Anzi grimaced, poured out a pot of tea, and then opened a few packets of pastries. Recently, he and His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince have been eating pastries every day, and they almost vomited, because the Fourth Prince 'likes' to eat pastries, 'likes' Have to not even eat.
Mr. Xi, who was the fourth prince in the palace, was sparred in the palace. He had never seen all kinds of food outside. This is how Xiao Anzi can buy his 'favorite' cakes for the fourth prince every day, and secretly bring in some private goods.
Xiao Anzi took two bites of the dry almond cake, but couldn't swallow it, so he poured a glass of water and washed it down.
"His Royal Highness, how long do we have to eat this, Xiao Anzi almost vomited."
Indeed, I was about to vomit. I couldn't digest so many cakes and fruits. How could I buy the fourth prince's 'favorite' cakes and leave the house the next day, and how could I pay money from the accountant
It can only be said that a penny beats a heroic man. In order to bring in some private goods, Luo Huaiyuan also fought hard.
Luo Huaiyuan threw the half-eaten candied haws to the side, then took the cakes in the paper bag and ate them.
"Ugh… "
A minion who eats snacks every day until she gets tired and vomits to death really can't hurt!
…
There were about ten packages of various pastries and fruits, and the two of them couldn't finish it for a while. Luo Huaiyuan was optimistic, clapping the scum on his hands, and said, "The rest is for dinner, and supper is also available."
Xiao Anzi said weakly, "Yes."
"I've been doing those things all morning, and I'm really tired. You go and help me for a while, and I'll take a break to replace you." Luo Huaiyuan fell on the bed, motionless.
The bitter little Anzi didn't say anything and went to Yaonianzi to work as a laborer.
Luo Huaiyuan commanded leisurely, "It needs to be crushed, preferably in powder form, crushed separately, and crushed and put aside. By the way, did you buy the two things I asked you to find?"
Xiao Anzi pushed the copper drum and said: "What you said is too strange, I went to the pharmacy to ask, and the doctor who prescribed the medicine didn't know what it was, so he brought a few things back according to your description. have a look."
Luo Huaiyuan lay on the couch, pretending to be dead, "I'll rest for a while."
With the sound of the wheel, Luo Huaiyuan's thoughts slowly scattered...
He did it as a last resort. The money on the account of the mansion was managed by someone. There was an excuse for a hundred or so taels, but there was no excuse for more.
But such a small amount of money is enough to do much, and I want to save thousands of family wealth to recruit troops and buy horses, so this little money is enough to buy a horse's tail.
A penny stumped the hero, but Luo Huaiyuan was not discouraged. After several days of thinking, he finally made a plan to make his first pot of gold.
It was because of this plan that Xiao Anzi went out to buy cakes, for the sake of the medicine roller. Luo Huaiyuan put a lot of thought into this thing, and Xiao Anzi was also instructed to go out all day long as tired as a dog.
Luo Huaiyuan rested for a while, and then went to unpack the two paper bags. There were always various kinds of medicinal materials in Lingling.
He took it to look first, then smell it, and some even picked it up and licked it. One of them was just right for him, which made him overjoyed, but there was another one that he was not sure about. He was going to crush it and look at it again.
"His Royal Highness, what are you doing with these?" Xiao Anzi stopped and pounded his arms.
"Of course it's delicious!"
"Can these things be eaten?"
Luo Huaiyuan hummed, pretending to be profound.
***
Eunuch Xi's impression of the Fourth Prince is that of a very greedy person.
No wonder he eats so stupidly fat!
A few days ago, I ate all kinds of snacks and cakes every day. These days, I have been fiddling with what to eat with charcoal grilled meat. When I eat meat, I eat meat. I have to cut wooden skewers and string them together. There are few masters, and there is nothing to do all day long, but you can also toss with the fourth prince.
As long as he doesn't do anything else, Eunuch Xi doesn't care about it.
But don't say, this stuff that the fourth prince is tossing is really fragrant.
Eunuch Xi sniffled and asked, "Your Highness doesn't have to eat again today?"
He looked about sixty years old, with a black gauze hat and a round collar shirt, his long face was thin and withered, and his face was full of folds. If you don't look at her clothes, she would have thought that it was an old man who was nearly twilight. He spoke weakly, and his voice had some eunuchs' tinny voice.
A little eunuch bowed and replied, "If you go back to the general manager, His Highness is tossing and eating barbecue again. I see that His Highness and Xiao Anzi are full of mouthfuls."
Eunuch Xi gave a nonchalant 'um', "I'll let the kitchen prepare some hot soup for His Highness, and tell him to pay attention to his body."
"Yes."
Eunuch Xi glanced over there on the waterside pavilion, and walked away with his sleeves wrapped around him.
A prince who was not favored was kicked out of the palace early. If there was no accident, he would not be too rich if he was divided into a vassal as an adult. Those who can be assigned to serve in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, naturally few are in power, they are all marginal figures in the palace, and most of them are excluded.
Those who were chosen and sent are naturally the ones who are depressed, and those who should be served with heart have to serve with heart. Because if there is no accident, more than 100 people in this manor will go to the domain with the prince in the future.
This time, it may be a lifetime. The Fourth Prince will be their true master in the future. Copying their power of life and death by hand, it is natural to be careful and respectful. This is the way of survival for slaves.
Compared with other people, Eunuch Xi would naturally not be excluded from being the chief eunuch of the Fourth Prince's Mansion. It was the people above who saw that he was getting old and chose a retirement home for him.
It was a reward, and he had to follow it.
But he also understands the meaning of retirement.
So, what the fourth prince wanted to do, as long as it wasn't too outrageous and caught in the eyes of others, Eunuch Xi would turn a blind eye.
If necessary, help wipe the buttocks, it is also necessary.
…
Luo Huaiyuan, who thought he was cheating on the sky and crossing the sea, was setting up a charcoal basin on the water pavilion and eating barbecued meat on the floor.
The fourth prince didn't like seeing outsiders, so all the servants around him were driven away, leaving two little eunuchs to serve.
One of them is Xiao Anzi, and the other—
"Hey, Xiaopang Luo, it's really fun to be here, and you have to disguise to get in." A sturdy 'little eunuch' said.
Luo Huaiyuan kicked him, "You're laughing at your brother, aren't you? I won't give you any of these later."
Shen Qi had been salivating for a long time, and walked around the charcoal basin several times, how could he rely on him and waved his hands again and again, "Don't, don't, how dare I make fun of you!"
Luo Huaiyuan snorted, "It's not that I don't want to cause trouble for you. You are from the Duke's Mansion, and dealing with me on the bright side will cause trouble for your family."
Shen Qi scratched his head and corrected the color, "Of course I understand the truth." He pointed to the special copper rack on the charcoal basin, "Your barbecue rack is quite good."
"The servants prepared it."
Although the old eunuch belonged to someone else, he was generally respectful to him, and he did his best to satisfy him, such as food and clothing. He said he wanted a barbecue grill, and it was delivered the next day.
"Since you moved out, I haven't eaten this barbecue. I tried to bake it twice, but it was unpalatable. Let the servants bake it, and it didn't taste right."
Luo Huaiyuan smiled, "I'll let you know something more special today."
He bared his teeth strangely while laughing. He had eaten a lot of barbecues recently, and there were several fire bubbles on the corners of his mouth. If the movement on his face was a little bigger, it would hurt terribly.
After laughing, Luo Huaiyuan grabbed a handful of brown-yellow powdery condiments from a large bowl, shook his fat hands a few times, and sprinkled them on the skewers. A burst of thick smoke rises, making people unable to resist turning their heads to avoid the smoke, but drooling over the fragrance.
Shen Qi sniffed hard, "It's so fragrant, what seasoning are you putting in here, why haven't I seen you use it before."
"Special spices."
In order to make this ingredient, Nima has eaten pastries and fruits for a long time, and ate meat skewers with different flavors for several days.
Luo Huaiyuan didn't know how to cook, so he could only grope for all the necessary ingredients, match them in various ratios, and then try which one tastes better.
In ancient times, this place was not good. There was nothing. If you wanted to get any condiments, you had to go to great lengths to find the raw materials. You had to prepare the raw materials yourself.
Fortunately, the main ingredient of this cumin powder is benzoin, and some star anise cinnamon or something.
With cumin powder, it can be done with less effort, and other things like pepper and prickly ash, Luo Huaiyuan has also found. It just lost its original shape, but Luo Huaiyuan sent Xiao Anzi everywhere to find it.
It is due to the fact that in modern times, he was a web writer who lived by writing code words, and he lit up the necessary skills of the protagonist like this. You must know that the protagonist's skills are given by the author. When writing a text, although it is to pass the time for others to see, you can have imagination and open your brain, but at least the writing can't be too outrageous.
What is the homework that an author must do to write a novel
Collect various data.
Congratulations, you got it right, you won.
Therefore, Luo Huaiyuan is now very confident, with a lot of golden fingers, and it can be used without exaggeration. The idea is good, but the beginning of everything is difficult.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and every rich man starts from a small business before he is not a rich man.
These are Luo Huaiyuan's words to comfort himself, and what he has to do now is to coax the only young master around him who can help him.
As all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, Luo Huaiyuan's hand-made authentic special kebabs were also released.
"Come on, Shen Xiaoer, I'll give you a taste of good things first."
Xiao Anzi touched the fire bubble at the corner of his mouth, he really couldn't understand why Young Master Shen would eat it so deliciously, gobble it, and grinned from the burn, and kept stuffing it into his mouth.
You can smell the aroma in the air, and saliva can't help overflowing in Xiao Anzi's mouth.
"Shen Xiaoer, is it delicious?"
"good to eat!"
"Want to eat every day?"
"think!"
That's good, a poor bear child finally got caught.
