Chapter 246 Just after a battle,
Wei Ruo thought for a while and said: "Boss Fan, just based on the few rumors you have heard, you believe that I have the ability to help you develop tea gardens. Isn't it a little hasty? ?"
Although those few things can reflect her understanding of agriculture to a certain extent, it seems that they are still far from being able to help Fan Chengxu's tea business.
"It's true that I can't, but I'm willing to bet. I don't like to do business step-by-step. I'm too disciplined. I like to take risks and make a gamble." Fan Chengxu still looked at Wei Ruo with a smile
.
Originally, he planned to ask Xu Heyou to help him get rid of the dead seedlings on his farm first, so as to judge whether he was qualified and whether he wanted to discuss tea cooperation with him.
After all, tea cooperation is not a trivial matter.
But the things Xu Heyou did recently made him give up the idea. He was willing to take a gamble. As long as Xu Heyou had the courage to take over his job, he would dare to give him the opportunity to do it in his tea garden. Try it and collaborate with him.
"I can't answer you right now. I need to think about this matter." Wei Ruo replied.
"No problem. Mr. Xu can think about it slowly and contact me when he has figured it out." Fan Chengxu smiled in his eyes and looked relaxed.
With that said, Fan Chengxu ordered someone to bring the latest dishes of Zuixianju for Wei Ruo to taste: "Mr. Xu, these are some new dishes recently launched by Zuixianju. Try them and give your opinion." Wei Ruo also
said You're welcome, I picked up my chopsticks and tasted each dish carefully.
Braised fish, steamed meatballs, boiled cabbage hearts...these dishes all use the seasonings provided by Wei Ruo without exception.
"Very good." Wei Ruo commented.
The chef's skills are good, and with the seasonings she provides, the taste is indeed very good.
"Master Xu, do you think there is room for improvement?" Fan Chengxu asked again.
"I don't know about this. The chef at Zuixianju must know how to cook better than me, so I won't give you random opinions." Wei Ruo replied.
Wei Ruo had an idea, but didn't want to mention it too much. It was better to let the chef of Zuixianju do his own research on cooking matters.
"diners don't necessarily need to know how to cook to make comments."
"I really don't have any comments."
"Well, I won't ask anymore, and I would like to ask Mr. Xu to take it easy." Fan Chengxu stopped asking questions and asked Wei Ruo to enjoy his meal.
Wei Ruo and Fan Chengxu were having lunch together when the door suddenly opened.
Wei Ruo and Fan Chengxu looked at the door at the same time, and saw that the person coming was Chu Lan, who was wearing a bamboo hat to cover his face.
The relaxed expression on Wei Ruo's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by vigilance and solemnity.
This subtle change in her expression did not escape Chu Lan's eyes, which made him feel irritated.
Fan Chengxu reacted first and stood up to greet him: "How come Mr. Zhu has so much time to come to my place today?" Fan
Chengxu, who knew that Chu Lan had not revealed his identity to the outside world, still called him "Mr. Zhu".
Chu Lan nodded and followed Fan Chengxu to his seat.
After Chu Lan took his seat, his eyes never left Wei Ruo's body.
Although there was a layer of gauze, Wei Ruo could still feel that this person was looking at him.
Wei Ruo was originally in a mood to appreciate the delicious food, but now it was completely gone, and he became serious and reserved.
"Boss Fan, you and your guest should have something to discuss, so I won't continue to disturb you." Wei Ruo stood up and planned to leave.
Fan Chengxu subconsciously looked in Chu Lan's direction.
Chu Lan was seen just sitting, making no movement or speaking.
In addition, since he couldn't see his expression, Fan Chengxu couldn't guess even if he wanted to. So Fan Chengxu smiled and said to Wei Ruo: "Master Xu, please sit down again. It's still early. I'll have someone make you a pot of Biluochun to taste." Wei Ruo shook his head: "I appreciate
Boss Fan's kindness. It's just that I have some things to be busy with soon, so I can't delay any longer."
"Okay then, I'll see Mr. Xu off." Fan Chengxu didn't persuade him much.
Fan Chengxu sent Wei Ruo to the door and immediately returned to the box after watching the master and servant leave.
"Your Highness."
"What were you and him talking about just now?" Chu Lan asked.
"Let's talk about making money. Your Highness also knows that I am a common man who only cares about money. What interests me is the things that make money." After answering, Fan Chengxu asked Chu Lan cautiously: "Your Highness is here today
. Why are you looking for me?"
"Nothing important," Chu Lan said.
As he spoke, blood oozed from Chu Lan's right arm.
Fan Chengxu was shocked and hurriedly came forward.
"Your Highness is injured?"
After confirming that the blood seeping out of his arm was real, Fan Chengxu discovered that Chu Lan was injured. The blood had already soaked into his sleeves, but it was not obvious because he was wearing black clothes.
"In the past half month, we have gone through a battle with the Japanese pirates. Although the enemy was defeated in the end, our side also suffered heavy losses." Chu Lan said without changing his expression.
"I'll find a doctor for you!" Fan Chengxu didn't dare to delay. He couldn't let Chu Lan get into trouble with him.
"No need. It's nothing serious. I've already been given the medicine."
The injuries he suffered on the battlefield this time were nothing compared to the injuries he sustained in the last sneak attack.
"But now the bleeding is coming, I'll find someone to bandage it again."
"We have the medicine, just find someone to apply it casually."
Fan Chengxu's head was buzzing: "Your Highness, you are the emperor and your body is so precious. You should not be so casual. If you are good at it, how many heads can I take?" "You don't need to take the head." Chu Lan
said .
"Your Highness, if you are injured now, you should have a good rest and not run around." Fan Chengxu couldn't help but say.
"I don't trust other people in Taizhou Mansion, including those in the military camp." Chu Lan replied.
Fan Chengxu cursed in his heart, "If you don't trust others, don't hurt me!" If I die here, I won’t be able to escape even if I jump into the Yellow River!
"Then why didn't His Highness tell Mr. Xu just now? He is your savior, you should trust him, and he has excellent medical skills, so you should let him look at this injury for you!" Fan Chengxu wanted to order someone to chase after Gang left
. Not long after, Wei Ruo was stopped by Chu Lan.
"I don't want to owe him any more," Chu Lan said.
"Didn't you give him money? He is just like me. If you give him money, it doesn't count as a debt!" Fan Chengxu said.
"He is still different from you."
Fan Chengxu didn't know how to answer for a while, but Chu Lan insisted that there was nothing he could do.
###
It was already dusk when Wei Ruo changed into her daughter's clothes and returned to the captain's mansion. The servants in the mansion were busy with something in a hurry. The situation was very unusual.
"What's going on?" Wei Ruo grabbed a maid who was running towards Cangyun Garden and asked about the situation.
