Holding his face in his hands, Chen Maimai said in confusion, "It's so strange, the prince hasn't come for a long time!"
The prince came to attack from time to time, which made Mai Mai a little depressed. However, if the prince didn't come, Chen Mai missed Prince Cheng a little bit. After all, Prince Cheng was very generous, and every time he came, he would bring gifts.
Ji Yun'an glanced at Chen Maimai, and said, "You don't know! The lord went out for a private visit."
Chen Maimai asked in surprise, "Is there such a thing?"
Ji Yunan smiled wryly, and said, "Yes!"
It is said that two days ago, the princess and the side concubine had a dispute about serving the bed. After all, the prince was old, so he left the house secretly under the pretext of going out to drink.
That night, the concubine thought that the prince was sleeping with the concubine, and the concubine thought that the prince was sleeping with the concubine. The next day, the two found out that the prince had disappeared. Later, the two discovered that the prince had already left the capital, which was delayed several times. For an hour, this person didn't know where he went.
It's not a day or two since the palace is uneasy. As soon as the prince left, the two concubines made a fuss with the emperor. However, the emperor has probably been troubled by the prince's affairs for many times. This time, he just didn't bother to pay attention to it. If it's good, it's also good to go out and relax.
Chen Mai blinked and said, "The prince may have gone to elder brother's place."
Ji Yun'an nodded, thinking that the prince should have gone to Brother Lin and Brother Xiaomi. During this time, some dry goods sent by Lu Lin were delicious when boiled. It is conceivable that there should be some people in Yucang County. More goodies.
Chen Xiaomai tilted her head and said, "I also want to go to Big Brother's place."
Ji Yun'an said apologetically, "Sorry, I asked you to stay with me in the capital."
Chen Mai blinked and said, "That's nothing."
Chen Maimai lowered his head, thinking to himself: Husband and wife are supposed to stay together, he just misses his elder brother occasionally, but if he really goes to accompany his elder brother, Yun An is too lonely.
Lu Lin walked into the mansion and saw Chen Xiaocai sitting in the hall waiting for him.
After the beginning of spring, Chen Xiaocai moved away. Seeing Chen Xiaocai at noon, Lu Lin was a little surprised, "There is something wrong!"
Chen Xiaocai held his chin and said, "My lord has gone to the self-service fish shop."
Lu Lin nodded, and said "Oh", "Your Highness has no pretensions!" Many people in the capital might not be willing to enter such a cheap shop because of their status, but the Highness is not picky.
Chen Xiaocai nodded, "My lord spent ten taels of money to enter the shop, but after eating, he was very satisfied and gave a tip of ten taels of silver."
The people in the self-service fish shop did not know the identity of the lord, and those who knew the identity of the lord in the county government were also given a gag order.
However, there was a big money tipping 10 taels of silver, and the shopkeeper had to report it to Chen Xiaocai. With just a casual description, Chen Xiaocai would probably know who it was.
Lu Lin twitched the corners of his mouth, the prince is really too generous, this is a reward of ten taels of silver, if there are more such big customers, it will be very difficult for the self-service fish shop to lose money!
"My lord has been here for a while!" Chen Xiaocai said with a strange expression.
Lu Lin nodded and said, "Yes!" This time he did not receive the letter from the princess, but the housekeeper of the palace sent someone to come several times, suggesting that the princess asked him to find a way to persuade the prince to go back.
Lu Lin felt that the butler of the palace was not a thing, so he handed over such a hot potato to him.
Lu Lin glanced at Chen Xiaocai and said, "I remember you said a few days ago that the prince stayed in your inn, and he would pay all the money for three months at once."
Chen Xiaocai nodded and said, "There is such a thing."
Lu Lin held his chin and said, "This prince is really planning to live forever?" Ji Yun'an wrote a letter two days ago, in which he vaguely stated that the prince seems to have sneaked out this time.
Chen Xiaocai smiled and said, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with the lord staying permanently."
Lu Lin: "..." The situation this time seems to be different from that in Sha County. Back then in Sha County, the emperor helped to remind him. However, the emperor seemed to have a new favorite concubine. The favorite concubine has passed away, and no one has mentioned the matter of the prince to the emperor.
The prince ate and drank in Yucang County every day, and even went to the fleet to watch the people in the fleet dry seafood and goods, and when he saw the ships in the fleet, he insisted on going up for a tour.
Chen Xiaocai was very opposed to the prince going to the sea for a tour, but the power was overwhelming, so he had to listen to the prince's words.
"Boss Qin, who is this Master Cheng? He's so arrogant!" a fisherman asked.
"This guy's arrogance is so big! He thinks the big ship of our fleet is too small." Lu Lin found someone to repair a big ship shortly after the formation of the fleet. Later, after a few months, he repaired a bigger ship. of.
A group of fishermen called the small boat the "Small Boat King" and the big one the Big Boat King.
"Yes! The master said that our boat smells too fishy, and the shape is not good enough."
"We are fishing boats. What do you want to do beautifully? Practical is more important." Qin Lang looked at a few fishermen and said, "This Mr. Cheng is a buyer of dried seafood from Kyoto. He is a big customer. The rich are very rich. , don’t be negligent.”
Several fishermen heard that he was the God of Wealth, and their impression of Lord Cheng improved a lot. It is normal for the God of Wealth to be picky.
Prince Cheng was enjoying himself at sea, but Lu Lin was not so happy. The princess and side concubine actually came to Yucang County. After the two heroines arrived, they first went to the county government to find Lu Lin.
Lu Lin was the worst at dealing with women, and he was so frustrated that he finally sent the two heroines away.
Once the concubine and side concubine came, the prince's happy days were over.
Sitting opposite Lu Lin, Chen Xiaocai said, "My lord, I seem to be leaving."
Lu Lin said curiously: "The prince has been here for more than a month! How do you know he is leaving?"
"My lord, I bought a lot of dried seafood recently, and I'm going to take them to the capital. I think I'm leaving soon."
Lu Lin nodded and said, "My lord is back in the capital this time. I think we can increase the amount of our dried seafood." This time, my lord stayed in Yucang County for so long and ate so many good ones. , I should promote it for them when I go back. Maybe it won't be long before many distinguished guests from Kyoto will come here admiringly.
Chen Xiaocai: "..." Lu Lin is right! Back then, after the reputation of Sha County spread, many guests from Kyoto went to Sha County. The distance between Yucang County and Kyoto was much closer than Sha County and Kyoto.
"In this way, I will open a higher-grade self-service fish shop in the near future." Chen Xiaocai said.
This ten-cent self-service fish shop will be very popular. The fishermen of this fleet have recently become richer. Sometimes, they will go there to hold a dinner party. The business of the self-service fish shop is very good. There was a lot of customers and there was an incident that required queuing. The shopkeeper of the self-service fish shop, seeing this situation, mentioned to Chen Xiaocai about opening a branch.
Lu Lin nodded and said, "Alright."
Not long after the princess arrived in Yucang County, the prince brought people back to the capital.
When Prince Cheng came, he drove lightly, but when he left, he dragged loads of things.
Prince Cheng likes any dried seafood he sees, and he doesn't care about the price. The merchants in Yucang County like him very much.
As Lu Lin expected, after the prince returned to Kyoto, he began to distribute a large amount of seafood from Yucang County. What about Yucang County? Seafood is highly respected, and those who really like the appetite, come from Kyoto to taste delicious food.
After this scholar from Kyoto has completed a certain degree of studies, he will go on a study tour if conditions permit.
As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books.
If possible, walking around and meeting local celebrities is also a good way to increase your knowledge.
After the reputation of Yucang County spread, many people took Yucang County as a place to visit.
Chen Xiaocai built a seaside restaurant by the sea. Sitting in a box on the upper floor of the restaurant, one can see the waves.
After the restaurant was built, it attracted many foreign tourists.
Sitting in the Linhai restaurant, Wei Qiyu couldn't help but feel a little relaxed and happy looking at the scenery outside the restaurant.
Wei Qiyu played with the fan in his hand, and sighed a little: "This Chen Xiaolai really knows how to do business!"
Su Nan, a good friend opposite Wei Qiyu, smiled and said, "I heard that Linhai Restaurant was the county magistrate's idea."
is it? The hot spring restaurant back then seemed to be Lu Lin's idea.
An attendant on the side brought a pot of roasted oysters with garlic to the two of them. The oysters were covered with a layer of red and green seasoning, which looked very attractive.
Wei Qiyu tasted it. Dried oysters were popular in Kyoto for a while before. People who ate them for a while found that this stuff really has some beauty and physical effects. As a result, dried oysters are becoming more and more popular in Kyoto. , Oysters will also be shipped frozen.
However, to be honest, this food is still fresh and delicious. Yucang County has recently influx of a lot of young people, and these people come here mainly for oysters.
After Prince Cheng came to Yucang County before, he highly praised the seafood in Yucang County. He bluntly said that the seafood in Yucang County was the best in the world. Many people felt that Prince Cheng was exaggerating.
The appeal of Lord Cheng is still not small. After the visit of Lord Cheng, many old gourmets in Kyoto are also willing to come and try it. All kinds of dried seafood in Yucang County are very expensive in Kyoto. Some people in Kyoto When I come here, I will buy more seafood from Yucang County and sell them in Kyoto, and I will make a lot of money. This can be regarded as the world's version of purchasing agents.
Wei Qiyu rested his chin and sighed in his heart. He felt that Lu Lin was a very strange person. He would fiddle with delicious food wherever he went. This tossing brought the lives of the people in the county with him.
