Father-in-law Zhu Di, I am so happy to marry the disfigured princess

Chapter 146 Rotten Oranges?This is enough flavor!The little green oranges are out!

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

It has to be said that Zhu Gaosui's professional ability is extremely strong.

As Zhu Gaosui kept spreading gossip, a piece of news spread throughout the wealthy business district of Yangzhou City.

The researcher and founder of Snowflake White Salt, Li Xiaoyao, is currently in Yangzhou City.

The businessmen who got the news were not ecstatic.

Do everything possible to want to meet with him to see if there is any possibility of cooperation.

However, they tried their best, but they couldn't find where Li Xiao was.

Among this group of businessmen, only Lu Cong from the Lu family in Suzhou knew that Li Xiao lived in the Fulai Inn.

Of course, it is impossible for him to disclose it to the outside world, but he has first-hand information.

At this moment, Zhu Ningyun, the owner of Yong'an County, is busy with the work of frying tea on the boat.

Originally, Li Xiao didn't want her to be troubled, but Zhu Ningyun had to do something, otherwise she would make trouble with Li Xiao.

Li Xiao was told that he had no choice but to assign the job of frying tea to her.

Of course, Zhu Ningyun doesn't make tea by herself, she mainly leads the work and organizes people.

She went to find a master tea-frying master and went to the ship, bought tea-frying tools, and asked the crew on the ship to work as workers.

Of course the crew were happy.

Anyway, with a salary, it's not low, and three renminbi a day is hard work.

Li Xiao was also fortunate that he was using a merchant ship. The size of the ship was so large that it could be used as a small workshop to make tea on board.

In fact, these Pu-erh teas have already been roasted, but Li Xiao asked for a little more roasting, because he wanted to add some secret spices to make the tea more fragrant.

"It's these spices, five drops of each of these spices is enough for every ten catties of tea."

Li Xiao took out five bottles and cans, and handed them to Zhu Ningyun.

Previously, in order to find out the essential oil formula, I kept refreshing the mall, and found out a lot of messy things.

These include various food additives, food flavors, etc.

Didn't expect it to come in handy now.

These food flavors come from the future, pure technology and hard work.

There is actually no harm in eating it in people's stomachs, of course. There is no benefit either.
After learning about the thin horse in Yangzhou, Li Xiao didn't like these rich businessmen very much.

Anyway, this little green tangerine is also sold to rich people, and ordinary people can't afford it.

"What are these? Why are there so many?" Zhu Ningyun asked.

Li Xiao explained: "These are essences, which can make the tea more fragrant."

He pointed to one of the jars: "This is peppermint essence, adding mint flavor, this is glutinous rice fragrance, which makes the tea have a glutinous fragrance, and this is sweet orange essence, which makes the tea have a natural fruit flavor. These flavors are mixed together. It becomes a compound fragrance, and our tea leaves become high-end teas!"

In fact, these good tea leaves become pure industrial waste with these messy flavors added.

But Li Xiao doesn't care, people in this world have never tasted such a delicious taste, let alone rich people who have tasted countless good teas, they will definitely offer the nectar and everyone will love it.

Zhu Ningyun asked someone to take the essence, but asked very curiously: "With these things added, will there be any good or bad taste?"

Li Xiao said with a smile: "It's not a big problem, don't worry, you won't die if you drink it."

"Ah That's good."

Zhu Ningyun nodded and said: "Xiaolang, you can rest assured to leave the work of frying tea to me."

"It was meant to take you for fun, but I didn't expect to let you work, I feel a little guilty." Li Xiao said.

Zhu Ningyun shook her head disapprovingly: "Actually, Xiaolang, these things are actually interesting. After finishing this matter, let's go to Suzhou and have a good time."

Li Xiao touched Ningyun's head affectionately, "Thank you Madam."

Zhu Ningyun leaned against Li Xiao's chest and nodded obediently.

Xin Dao wanted to learn more about these things, and he must help Li Xiao control the family in the future.

"someone passed out"

Then one of the crew members yelled.

Li Xiao and Zhu Ningyun followed the prestige and found that when He Xiaoqian was frying the tea they bought, she fainted from exhaustion, but then crawled back up, gritted her teeth and continued to fry the tea.

Zhu Ningyun's heart ached for a while, she didn't want He Xiaoqian to cook tea because her body was too weak, but the other party said that she didn't want to be idle, so she had to do something.

"Xiaoqian, you should go down and rest first, frying tea is too hard for a girl."

Zhu Ningyun walked over and ordered.

He Xiaoqian shook her head: "Ma'am, I can do it. It is a blessing from heaven that I can get such an opportunity now."

While talking, He Xiaoqian knelt down, "Ma'am, I, Xiaoqian, am willing to be a cow and a horse in the next life to repay your kindness, just...just"

Zhu Ningyun said: "Just what?"

He Xiaoqian faltered and said: "Xiaoqian knows that this request is too much. I have a younger sister. He Xiaoyun is still in dire straits. Madam, if you buy her back, she will definitely remember your kindness."

After finishing speaking, He Xiaoqian kowtowed three times.

Although she knew it was a luxury, she wanted to give it a try.

Zhu Ningyun said distressedly: "You still have a younger sister? Are you two sisters who were sold to a dental clinic together?"

"Ah."

He Xiaoqian nodded, choked up and said, "It was only later that I found out about the family's situation. Our family is actually an ordinary farmer. Because the eldest sister looks like a sign, she was targeted by this dental shop. The family was doing well, so she wouldn't sell us out. It's the dentist's job." The people in the business colluded with the government and raised taxes on our fields, so we lost our way of life. My parents sold the three of us together."

"Damn it, the world is getting worse, and something like this happened."

Zhu Ningyun was furious and asked, "Are there many girls like you?"

He Xiaoqian said: "There are more than 200 of us slender horses in just one dental clinic. I don't know about other dental clinics. Everyone doesn't want to be a slender horse, but there is no way, this is life."

Zhu Ningyun helped her up: "I know what's going on with you, go down and have a rest first, and only by taking care of yourself can you help me work better."

He Xiaoqian: "Thank you madam. I can still work."

Zhu Ningyun ordered: "This is an order."

"Mrs. Xie."

Only then did He Xiaoqian bow down and perform a Wanfu ceremony. In fact, they were cultivated to be very educated since they were young, so that they could be better sold to wealthy families.

Seeing He Xiaoqian's leaving back, Zhu Ningyun shouted: "Don't worry about your sister, I have my own opinion."

He Xiaoqian's eyebrows twitched, as if she had returned to heaven from hell, a warm current flowed in her heart, she stopped in her footsteps, turned around and bowed deeply towards Zhu Ningyun, and then left.

"Ningyun, I understand."

Li Xiao looked at Ning Yun and said with a smile: "After the tea leaves are out of our hands, we'll just snatch them up. Take these poor girls to Beiping, where they can do weaving and silkworm rearing, and they can settle down well."

Before Zhu Ningyun could speak, Li Xiao smiled lightly, "Well, don't say any more polite words between us, I'll leave this to you, and I'll go to Gao Xu's side to buy a batch of fruits, let's go first, see you later .”

After finishing speaking, Li Xiao turned around and left, leaving behind a chic back.

Zhu Ningyun looked at Li Xiao's back, as if she had grown extremely tall.

Li Xiao has always been laughing and joking, but when encountering injustice, he will be angry and resist!
This is the man, and this is the person I, Zhu Ningyun, can trust.

In this way, her love for Li Xiao became stronger in her heart.
"Brother-in-law, this is the fruit merchant I was looking for. The oranges are not in season now. I have searched all over Yangzhou City, but I can't find the shadow of the oranges. The fruit in this village is not good, and they were not sold last year. They are all from last year. If so, do you still watch it?"

Zhu Gaoxu took Li Xiao to a village.

In addition to planting fields, the village also planted orchards.

"Look at it first."

"Row."

Zhu Gaoxu walked into the village, and then the patriarch of the village came to greet him from a distance.

"You two distinguished guests, please come and sit inside the room."

The patriarch is a wrinkled old man, obviously not rich, and the whole village looks very dilapidated.

The orange market has not been good in the past two years, and too many villages grow oranges.

In their village, the oranges from last year and the year before have been piled up in the cellar and have not been sold. They have piled up into mountains, and some of them are a little moldy.

"Bring out your oranges and show them to my brother-in-law."

Zhu Gaoxu cut to the point and spoke directly.

"Okay, just wait a moment."

The village head waved to a villager: "Daniu, go to the cellar and bring two baskets of oranges, there are buyers."

The villager named Daniu didn't dare to neglect, and immediately called for someone to move to the cellar.

Li Xiao looked at Zhu Gaoxu and asked, "This is the only place in Yangzhou where you can buy oranges?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "That's right, I heard that there were a lot of people selling oranges last year, and the oranges in many villages were not sold, and other villages used them to feed pigs. This village is strange, and they are still stored in the cellar."

Hearing this, the village chief complained: "Hey, I'm also to blame. A few years ago, seeing that oranges were selling well, I asked the villagers to plant less land and grow more oranges. As a result, oranges were not easy to sell. Our village is poor. I couldn't bear to throw it away, and couldn't mess with feeding the pigs, so I kept it in the cellar."

Li Xiao asked, "How many catties?"

The village head said: "There are about [-] catties. If you want to buy them, we will sell them cheap."

Zhu Gaoxu frowned and said, "Why are you in a hurry, let's see how the color is."

Hearing this, the village chief looked bitter.

What's more, the oranges are almost moldy.

It is not easy to meet people who buy oranges, but they still have to look at the quality. It seems that these oranges can only be used to feed pigs.

Soon.

The villagers brought over two baskets of oranges.

They were very thieves, picking out the best oranges.

Zhu Gaoxu walked over and took a look, the oranges were already dried out, drowned, picked up an orange and saw that the peel of the orange was hard.

"What kind of crap is this? It's disgusting to feed pigs."

Zhu Gaoxu said with a look of contempt.

The village chief looked bitter and felt very uncomfortable.

"My lords, please do me a favor, just buy it, our village will soon be overwhelmed."

The village chief begged, and other villagers in ragged clothes looked at the two expectantly.

There are many rich people in Yangzhou, but the poor are also really poor. The entire village planted oranges to earn some money to improve their lives, but ended up losing money.

Li Xiao walked over and picked up the orange to play with.

Immediately I was overjoyed.

good stuff!
This orange is suitable for making small green oranges, and there is no need to use fresh oranges.

The older the orange, the more flavorful it is! ! !

This is what I want!
However, Li Xiao was overjoyed in his heart, but on the surface he looked at the village chief calmly and said, "This orange is indeed not very good."

"Hey"

The village chief sighed, full of sorrow, and the wrinkles on his face were all twisted together.

"But"

Li Xiao changed the subject: "I am a kind-hearted person. Seeing that your village is also poor, let's help the poor."

The voice fell.

The village chief's originally twisted face became even more twisted, and then stretched out, and he said happily, "You mean to buy it?"

Li Xiao nodded: "I bought it, how many oranges of this quality are there?"

It is really another village, and the villager said happily: "Excluding the moldy oranges, there are [-] catties."

Li Xiao pondered for a while, this dried orange is two taels, 15 catties is [-] oranges, it may be a little too much, it doesn't matter if you buy more, and it is probably not worth a lot of money.

Li Xiao said: "That's all. But speaking of it, I'm helping the poor. If you are a lion, then don't talk about it. How much is it?"

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was puzzled and said: "Brother-in-law, why do we buy this broken orange?"

Li Xiao patted Zhu Gaoxu's shoulder lightly: "We do business with a kind heart. We can't blindly make money. Sometimes we have to do good deeds, so that our business can be smooth sailing."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded his head half-understood, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Li Xiao's gourd.

Seeing this, the village head became more cautious, this price should be carefully considered.

The business that came so hard to come by can't be messed up.

The patriarch discussed with the villagers with a solemn face, and it took almost a stick of incense to discuss it.

The patriarch rubbed his hands and said with a flattering smile, "I'll sell you 200 taels of [-] catties of oranges, do you think it's okay?"

200 taels is not expensive, within Li Xiao's psychological expectation, so he nodded and said, "This price is fair, but I have a request."

The patriarch asked with some trepidation in his heart: "You said."

Li Xiao picked up an orange casually, took a small knife, and opened a small slit at one end of the stem of the orange.

Then the orange flesh inside was pulled out, forming the shape of an empty orange peel.

"I need you to be like me. Get out the orange flesh, just the whole orange peel, and then dry it on the stove to remove the moisture. This is already very dry, and it can be done with a little roasting."

Li Xiao smiled and said, "200 taels will be given, and I will add 100 taels as wages. If it can be completed within one day, I will add an additional 100 taels."

"no problem!"

The patriarch agreed in ecstasy.

I thought it was a very harsh condition, but I didn't expect it to be so simple.

Also added more silver, completed within one day, an extra 100 taels?

There are more than 600 people in their village, men, women and children, all doing this together.

It can definitely be done in one day.

Each person can get three renminbi, which is a big profit!
"Then this fruit. Do you want more?" the village head asked.

Li Xiao said: "I don't want the pulp, you can handle it yourself."

Hearing this, the village head was even happier.

There is also fruit pulp that can be obtained for nothing, and it is good to feed pigs or use it as fertilizer.

"No problem! Definitely deliver within a day."

The patriarch readily agreed.

"This is a deposit of 100 taels."

Li Xiao didn't talk nonsense, and directly slapped the 100 tael silver ticket on the table, "I'll pick up the goods at this time tomorrow."

"Okay! Two adults, walk slowly."

The village head politely sent Li Xiao out of the village.

After returning to the village, he gathered all the people in the village non-stop and began to process oranges.

"Tonight, the whole village don't rest, let's grow oranges together"

That's it.

Li Xiao's goal has been achieved, without any effort, just spent some money.

But Zhu Gaoxu didn't understand.

"Brother-in-law, what are you doing? You don't even eat those broken oranges for pigs. Why should we buy them?"

Li Xiao laughed: "Pigs don't eat, but people love to drink. Hot don't be arty rich people, just wait and see."

Blink of an eye the next day.

Li Xiao and Zhu Gaoxu brought the carriage to pull the goods.

As soon as I entered the village, I found that everyone in the village had become panda-eyed, and their relationship had not rested all night.

The patriarch placed baskets of peeled oranges on the ground.

"Are you satisfied, my lord?"

The patriarch asked anxiously.

Although I don't know why the other party wants the orange peel, but as long as you give me money, it doesn't matter.

Li Xiao inspected the goods, the orange pulp was scooped out very clean, the roast was very dry, and the moisture was gone, it seems that he put his heart into it.

"well done."

Li Xiao didn't bother to order, and directly handed over the remaining 300 taels of banknotes.

The patriarch took the bank note tremblingly, and kept bowing to thank him.

This really saved the lives of the villagers.

"Load, return to the ship!"

With a cry, this batch of orange peels was pulled back to the cargo ship.

On the other side, Zhu Ningyun also roasted [-] catties of tea leaves, and the whole cargo ship was filled with the fragrance of essence.
"Xiaolang, the essence you gave is so fragrant after frying tea, I want to taste the taste of this tea."

Seeing Li Xiao's return, Zhu Ningyun hurried over to meet him.

Zhu Gaoxu also sniffed his nose, feeling the fragrance overflowing, and his whole body was surrounded by the fragrance of flowers.

Li Xiao smiled awkwardly: "Ningyun, let's not drink this tea."

Zhu Ningyun didn't understand: "Why?"

Li Xiao laughed and said, "Not very healthy."

Zhu Ningyun: "."

Zhu Gaoxu: "."

Baskets of orange peels were brought to the ship.

Zhu Ningyun frowned and thought, took an orange peel and looked at it.

After thinking about it for a while, he asked, "Xiaolang, are you going to put the tea into the orange peel?"

"Ningyun is really smart!"

Li Xiao nodded and said: "That's it. Combining tea leaves with tangerine peel has both tea aroma and fruit aroma, and the flavor is stronger. I call this tea 'Little Green Orange'."

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly realized, before he didn't understand why the orange peels were collected, but now he understood, the elder sister is the best, and he guessed it at a glance.

"Little green orange."

Zhu Ningyun happily said: "This name sounds really nice, try it?"

"Just try it."

Soon, Li Xiao put the tea leaves into the orange peel without pulp, and then took a piece of gray kraft paper that he had purchased a long time ago, and put a red label with "Little Green Orange" on it. a paste.

A small green mandarin came out of the oven.

The simple packaging of gray and red uses the minimalist design style of the Internet, which is extremely high-end.

Li Xiao waved the little green mandarin orange in front of everyone, "This is a high-grade tea, and it's finally done. It's worth the three days of hard work together."

Everyone has a look, this little green orange tea is really unique.

Small and exquisite, it should be a fruit and a cup of tea.

It is completely in line with the novelty hunting and novelty pursuit psychology of the rich.

Zhu Gaoxu felt extremely emotional, brother-in-law, in addition to composing poems, making salt, sugar, medicine, firearms, and iron, you can also make tea now!
Brother-in-law, just tell me, is there anything in this world that you don’t know?
"Try it?"

Zhu Gaoxu asked curiously.

Li Xiao smiled awkwardly: "Well, I want to taste it, Ningyun, don't try it, this tea is not healthy. Gao Xu and I are in good health, we can handle it!"

So ever.

Li Xiao and Zhu Gaoxu found a table facing each other, sat down, and soaked the little green orange.

As soon as the hot water is flushed, the aroma immediately wafts out. It is too fragrant, but it still fits the fragrance, and the fruity tea fragrance is mixed together.

Li Xiao thought to himself, this essence is really strong enough, without this aroma, it doesn't feel like a high-end tea.

Two cups of tea were poured.

Li Xiao and Zhu Gaoxu picked up the teacups, blew on the coolness, and took a sip.

The tea soup enters the mouth, and the fruity aroma explodes in the mouth.

The fragrance is flowing around, the mouth is sweet, and the lips and teeth are fragrant!

This is an unprecedented new experience!
It is the taste of happiness!

It feels like flying!

"Good tea! Good tea!"

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the tea in front of him in disbelief: "I have never had such delicious tea, even the tribute tea in the palace is not as good as this little green mandarin orange!"

Zhu Gaoxu was completely captured by the smell of the little green oranges.

No. To be precise.
It was captured by the food additives and food flavors in the citrus
Li Xiao didn't expect that with so many ingredients, the taste of this small green mandarin orange would be so good. How can I say it has a complex taste and aroma.
Far beyond the taste of ordinary Pu-erh tea, a strange experience.

"Brother-in-law, I want to drink this tea every day, and I want to offer it to my father."

Zhu Gaoxu's face was full of excitement, how could a good thing forget his father?
"Stop, stop, stop!"

Li Xiao stopped immediately, "No, I've said it all, this tea is unhealthy, don't spread the word about it, but our family doesn't want to drink it."

"Unhealthy, why?"

Zhu Gaoxu was puzzled: "This tastes pretty good."

Li Xiao whispered: "There are a lot of ingredients in it."

"Ah this."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said: "Then stop drinking and poison those businessmen to death."

Li Xiao smiled noncommittally, of course it is not poisonous to death, at most it is a little unhealthy, um, unhealthy.
At this time, Zhu Gaosui, who had been busy outside, returned to the boat.

"Brother-in-law, you are here. I was just about to look for you. The person who Lu Cong went to the inn to look for you and didn't see you is waiting for you."

Zhu Gaosui said as he walked.

Afterwards, he saw his brother-in-law and second brother drinking tea, and he felt a little jealous: "Okay, I'm exhausted outside, you guys are drinking tea here."

With that said, Zhu Gaosui picked up the teapot and took a sip, "My God, this tea is so delicious, I've never had such delicious tea!"

Zhu Gaosui fell completely, picked up the teapot and directly drank all the remaining tea.

Li Xiao and Zhu Gaoxu: "."

Seeing Zhu Gaosui's performance, Li Xiao thought that the tea is safe!

Li Xiao scratched his butt, stood up and said, "Since Lu Cong is here, let's go meet him, bring Xiao Qinggan, and let him spread the news about Xiao Qinggan."
