Chapter 148 Delicious

"Master, are you here?"

Seeing Yan Su and Yan Yi who suddenly appeared, Zhong Ling stood up.

"En." Yan Su nodded, and then stuffed the fried locust into Yan Yi's mouth behind him.

"How is it, is it delicious?"

Yan Yi's brows changed from a tight frown at the beginning where he had to open his mouth to eat this food, and finally calmed down, even with a faint sense of joy.

"Master, it's delicious."

"Really?" Yan Su picked up another one and put it in front of his eyes for a while, then stuffed it into his mouth.

The thing tasted fragrant and crisp, and it tasted really good.

"If I had known that locusts could eat like this, I should have called on everyone to catch them wildly when they came. Some people are used to eating wild ginseng and seafood, and they like these strange things. They will definitely make a lot of money by then." Pen."

Hearing what Yan Su said, Bai Jinli deeply felt that what he said was very reasonable.

I couldn't help but feel a little regretful. I didn't mobilize everyone to catch some locusts and came back.

Now those locusts don't know where they flew, even if they wanted to catch them, they couldn't catch them.

"The idea is really good, but things like locusts appear very strangely and stay for a short time. People are afraid when they see them, so how can they react to catch them?" Bai Jinli calmed down and began to analyze.

"What Miss Bai said makes sense." Yan Su nodded.

"However, if you tell everyone that locusts are edible, in case the locust plague comes next time, can everyone do something?" Bai Jinli just finished speaking, then thought of another question, and continued to speak .

"This seems unrealistic. The best way to fry locusts is to fry them. People in our village eat boiled vegetables on weekdays, and they can't even afford to eat oil. Where can we fry locusts?"

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help sighing.

"Is that so?" Yan Su was a little surprised when he heard someone say that for the first time.

"Well. Originally, the grain tax was heavy, and the output in the fields was not high. The people in the village worked hard every year for a whole year. In the end, there was not much grain left after paying the grain tax.

I took out a part of it and sold it for three or five taels by chance, which was the whole family's annual expenses, and the remaining food would be good enough to last for two months. "Bai Jinli thought about the previous situation at home, and told the truth.

"Then Miss Bai thinks there is a solution to this kind of problem?"

After listening to Bai Jinli's words, Yan Su already had a lot of plans and ideas in his mind, but he still asked a question casually.

"Method? Of course there is. First, find a way to reduce the taxation of the people, and second, find a way to increase the yield of crops in the field. Besides, it would be better to be able to selectively plant according to the local soil."

After Bai Jinli heard this question, she directly said what was in her mind.

"Well, Miss Bai is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and what she said makes sense. What do you mean by selective planting?"

"Oranges grown in Huainan are tangerines, and oranges grown in Huaibei are oranges. Different places are suitable for growing different things, and it is not necessarily necessary to grow crops.

If the geology is suitable and there is a method that can improve crops, then it is naturally the best. After all, people depend on food, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But if there is a place that is particularly suitable for growing fruit or other species, you can also try a variety.

Haven't we opened up mutual markets with neighboring countries?I heard that some fruits are brought back from other countries, and the price is very expensive, only rich families can afford it.

It is difficult for ordinary people here to eat fruits, even if there are, they are just ordinary apricots, peaches and strawberries.

Of course, these are also unintentionally planted by everyone. If you rely on buying them, you can't afford them. "

As Bai Jinli spoke, she began to diverge her thoughts, and said everything she could think of. As for whether it was useful or not, it was up to Yan Su to judge for himself.

"Miss Bai, what you said is really good. How did you know these things?" After listening to it, Yan Su felt quite shocked.

He once overheard a little bit of some thoughts when he was drinking with his friends in the capital.

That friend's father is the minister in charge of the household department in the capital, and matters concerning the territory, fields, household registration, taxation, salary and other aspects of the whole country are their affairs.

Because of his father, many people rushed to curry favor with him, and his father often showed him all the booklets sent from below to let him make up his mind.

Yan Su heard something at that time.

It's just that compared with what Bai Jinli said, there were a lot of boasters, and there was a little bit of similarity, but it was not as true as what she said.

After listening to it, he also felt that some places were indeed good, but it might not be easy to implement this matter.

There are a group of young and new courtiers in today's imperial court. They are open-minded and always put forward some suggestions for reform.

And those veterans are conservative in their thinking, and feel that they must follow the rules handed down from their ancestors, and they cannot change at all, otherwise they will be disrespectful to their ancestors.

Hey... Forget it, these things are not what he needs to consider.

He just needs to sort out what Bai Jinli said today, and then write it down and send it to his father.

The rest is not something he needs to worry about.

His main purpose is to do business, investigate the people's sentiments here, suppress bandits, and find people by the way.

"Some are from the old people in the village, some are from books, and some are from Lin Chenyuan."

If she said that, there should be nothing wrong with it.

"I see." Yan Su nodded.

"Isn't it? By the way, Yan Yi, how did you get the wall to respond to you in the end?" Bai Jinli was afraid that he would continue to ask, so he focused his attention on Yan Yi.

"..." Yan Yi.

How can you not mention this?Too bad, really!
"What made the wall respond? Yan Yi, what happened?" Hearing this, Zhong Ling immediately surrounded Yan Yi with gossip faces.

"Miss Bai, you came to see me today to talk about the pork jerky cooperation?" Soon, Yan Su got back to business.

"Well, that's right, I don't know how you think about it?"

"Miss Bai, I'm a businessman, and I will carefully consider anything that is beneficial to me. I have to say, your proposal moved me very much. But I still have a few questions..."

When talking about business, Yan Su really became serious.

Then the two talked about two cups of tea. After this conversation, the two still did not reach a consensus.

Yan Su's meaning is very simple, he thinks this is feasible, and he can also buy shares, but in terms of localities, he suggests starting from the big provincial capitals, and he doesn't like a mere Qinglin County.

Bai Jinli just wanted to try it in the county first, and if the business was good, he would open more chain stores.

In addition to these, there are other small details that have not been negotiated.

Bai Jinli is a stubborn person. Once she decides something, she doesn't want it to change again, so even though Yan Su offered good conditions later, she still chose to refuse.

The fact that this business has not been negotiated for the time being does not affect their relationship. After all, there is no business that can be negotiated. Both of them understand this.

After asking about the script and the child being sold, Bai Jinli bid farewell.

Her storybook of Journey to the West is being urgently printed, and it will be published in less than half a month, and then we will know what the market is.

As for the abducted child, Yan Su said that the people he sent out probably had some clues and were following the clues, presumably there will be news in the near future.

After leaving Zhongling Embroidery Workshop, Bai Jinli politely declined Yan Su's proposal to treat her to dinner, walked around the county, chose the address, and asked about the price of the shops to be rented out.

I bought some needed things, then sat in the teahouse for a while, listened to a little gossip, then packed up and went back.

Even if the business is not settled this time, she will still do what she has decided.

At worst, she would open a smaller door first and try it out.

When Bai Jinli was rushing back from the county, Lin Chenyuan was sitting at the house of his adoptive parents in Lin Town talking to someone.

The person sitting opposite him was Yonganhou who came to look for him.

Yong'an Hou is only 37 or [-] years old this year, and he looks a little fatter, but judging by his face and eyebrows, he must have been a handsome and handsome boy when he was young.

And just at the first glance, Marquis Yong'an dared to say with certainty that the man sitting opposite him was his biological son.

It was so similar to when he was young, he had no reason not to believe the truth of this matter.

As for the son Lin Ziang in the family, he didn't think he looked like him before, and that child could talk and do things well, so he didn't think too much about it.

But ever since he inadvertently heard the news from his servant, he fell into a strange feeling.

The more he watched, the more he felt that the son at home was not like him, and he didn't want his blood to be left outside, so he arranged for someone to come and find him.

As a result, the people he sent out told him after returning that the family of three he was going to find happened to encounter bandits and all of them were killed.

Marquis Yong'an didn't believe there was such a coincidence, and felt that something was wrong, so he secretly thought of a way to come here to investigate without telling his family.

He originally thought that no matter what, he would have to see the body of the legendary biological son and avenge him, right?
But to his surprise, he actually saw him!

He's not dead, he's alive, and to be able to sit across from him and talk to him is just so exciting.

"Your name is... Lin Chenyuan?" Marquis Yongan stared at Lin Chenyuan for a long time before asking.

"Well, who are you? What's the matter?" Lin Chenyuan glanced at him indifferently, with a calm and indifferent tone.

"Son, I made you suffer, I am your father!" Marquis Yong'an stood up immediately when he said this, a little uncontrollably excited.
