Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1024: Chapter 1024: Cautious_1 Chapter 1024: Chapter 1024: Cautious_1 The weather gradually grew hotter, and the sun hanging in the sky was no longer just for show. By mid-January, all the green vegetables Qiao Xiaomai had planted were eaten up.

Out of necessity, she really began digging up wild vegetables.

The wild vegetables grew on the slope next to her place. Ever since Tong Sanlang mentioned them, she really went to water them with Spiritual Spring water every other day, and after a month of watering, they really came in handy.

Having prepared the wild vegetables and brewed thick milk tea, she tied up the last sheep, along with two horse carriages full of pastries, and finally Tong Sanlang loaded his completed manuscript onto a carriage.

Since they aimed to curry favor, it was essential that Yang Wenxiao look over the manuscript. Only with his approval could they start the storytelling plan at Jiwei House.

Three horse-drawn carriages traveled along the spacious official roads, rushing towards Capital City day and night.

Imperial Palace.

Yang Wenxiao stood in front of the horse carriages, looking at the fully loaded vehicles with satisfaction, and nodded. He personally carried a jar of milk tea into the grand hall.

They had never figured out which part of the process had issues; these days, he ate even less than before.

Apart from the pastries and vegetables that Qiao Xiaomai sent over, he only allowed the Imperial Kitchen to make some simple sweet soups. The simpler the ingredients, the smaller the possibility of anything being added to them.

Moreover, he often called Yang Hao over and had him dine with him.

What set his mind slightly at ease was that, over the past month, Yang Hao’s tastes had not changed.

This meant that Yang Hao had not been affected.

He placed the jar of milk tea on the table and broke the mud seal on the outside. The rich aroma of milk immediately enveloped him.

He nodded with satisfaction and summoned a palace maid, instructing her to take the milk tea ceramic jar to the small kitchen to be reheated. Then, he steamed a few milk custard buns and personally rode his bicycle to Daming Palace.

In Daming Palace, Emperor Yong’an and Yang Hao were reading petitions and dealing with government affairs. Yang Wenxiao personally came to serve them afternoon tea; the Emperor felt worried, while Yang Hao felt joy.

Emperor Yong’an increasingly felt that Qiao Xiaomai’s offerings were inferior to the Imperial Kitchen’s, but Yang Wenxiao always insisted that they taste them together. When he ate, he always felt as if he were chewing wax.

Yang Hao’s joy was genuine. His tastes hadn’t changed, and although the delicacies from the Imperial Kitchen were delicious, they couldn’t compare with what Qiao Xiaomai made. The fragrant taro ball milk tea paired with milk custard buns brought him a pleasant sweet taste.

Emperor Yong’an sipped the milk tea languidly, and to prevent Yang Wenxiao from asking how it tasted, he initiated conversation, “Father, when will the bicycle start being sold?”

When Tong Sanlang managed to produce a bicycle, Yang Wenxiao had sent him a letter. Upon receiving it, he immediately ordered the craftsmen to start making them, and now they had an inventory of five hundred units.

“I think tomorrow will do, announce it at the Imperial Court tomorrow,” Yang Wenxiao spoke up.

This time, he was targeting not the wealthy merchants but the Aristocratic Families, so he couldn’t sell the bicycles like the tricycles by shouting out sales at the front of the Imperial Palace on a first-come-first-served basis.

One for eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight taels would allow these people to bleed out a little once again.

“Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, so that’s good,” Emperor Yong’an nodded and then said, “Shall we leave the Palace tomorrow to enjoy the lanterns? The Empress has ordered a carriage to be made, and she plans to go out for a ride.”

Previously, to please Emperor Yong’an and Yao Xian, Jiwei House had specially made a dragon and phoenix sleigh. During the New Year, as heavy snow fell, Emperor Yong’an and Yao Xian rode around Capital City in the dragon and phoenix sleigh, garnering gasps of amazement and faces full of astonishment wherever they went, greatly satisfying Yao Xian’s vanity.
