Rong Yan’s eyes burned when he looked at the biscuits again. He had actually had this thought for the past few days at the border, but he did not officially mention it after considering all aspects. He turned around and asked Xiaoxiao, “Is it troublesome to make this?”
Xiaoxiao smiled and wrote down the formula for Rong Yan. “Here, just make it as per the instructions. It’s very simple.”
Rong Yan was about to say something when Xiaoxiao folded the paper and stuffed it into his hand. “I’ll be angry if you decline.”
Rong Yan nodded heavily and clenched his fists. The steps to make compressed biscuits were written in detail. As long as the ingredients were complete, they could start preparing immediately. It was not difficult to make them, but it would cost more money. Xiaoxiao had already thought of who to take the money from.
The Crown Prince, who had just finished eating breakfast, sneezed loudly. He felt that it did not make sense. It was a hot day. Could he catch a cold? Could it be that he kicked the blanket when he cooled down last night? Which bastard was on duty last night?
As he rushed out of the door, he immediately smelled a fresh fragrance.
On the way here from the Imperial Capital, he did not lack food or dried meat. Occasionally, he could replenish some snacks, but vegetables were the only thing that became harder to eat the further he went. The harder it was to eat, the more he wanted to eat them. When he was in the Capital, he did not expect to miss those green leaves so much one day.
Following the smell, he arrived at Rong Yan’s residence and happened to see Yun Er and Yun San each holding a bowl of vegetable soup. They hid in the shade and drank happily.
Perhaps no one would believe him if he said it. Just based on the green color in the bowl, he, the honorable Crown Prince of Great Xia and the future emperor of the Yan Family, was craving for it.
With the Crown Prince’s status, he naturally couldn’t rush out and say “I want to drink it” directly. He had to stand on the moral high ground and control them.
“How dare you! Don’t you know what period we’re in? Where is this place? How dare you steal precious vegetables!”
Yun Er and Yun San seemed to be shocked. They had spilled quite a bit of the soup, which made the Crown Prince’s heart ache. Just as he was about to say more, he heard the two of them say, “What is His Highness the Crown Prince talking about? This is vegetable soup for the soldiers in the canteen. Everyone has it. There’s no limit.”
The Crown Prince couldn’t believe it. “Everyone has it? And there’s no limit?”
Yun Er and Yun San nodded. “That’s right. The bucket with the soup is in the hall. Whoever wants it, go get it yourself. Tell me if it is finished. The kitchen will make it again soon.”
The Crown Prince was puzzled. “Vegetables… aren’t they very rare at the border?”
Yun Er and Yun San were Rong Yan’s men. The Crown Prince didn’t believe what the two of them said, so he personally went to the kitchen. It was only after this that he found out that the ingredient used to make soup was a special dried vegetable, and this thing was the so-called “specialty” he brought.
He did not know yesterday because he had asked someone to bring back food from the kitchen because of his status. The servants who went to do things didn’t even look at the inconspicuous soup bucket.
The Crown Prince hurriedly gathered his advisors and asked each of them to bring back a bowl of soup with more vegetables. After trying it, they confirmed that the taste of the vegetables in the soup was almost the same as when they were fresh—this was simply unbelievable!
There were also people from poor families who had dried vegetables before. It was precisely because they were familiar with them that they knew the difference between the two. “Other than the taste being preserved well, I heard from them that this dried vegetable can be preserved for an extremely long time. As long as it’s not damp, it won’t be a problem to store it for a year. Transportation is even more convenient because it doesn’t reduce the quantity or take up space.”
The Crown Prince pondered for a long time and decisively wrote a letter to return to the capital.
Xiao Ran, that martial arts woman, was only thinking about fighting and killing. She did not see the meaning of this thing at all and only treated it as an ordinary “local specialty”.
They couldn’t even recognize a mountain of gold and silver. They deserved it for the Xiao Family to fall to such a state. Forget it, let their Yan Family take over.
“As long as the Crown Prince isn’t too stupid, he will definitely be able to see the business opportunity in this dehydrated vegetable. Back then, it was just a pickled vegetable prescription. The Lei Family even thought of ways to take it for themselves, let alone this thing.”
Xiaoxiao said mockingly, “I’m afraid they’ll send news back to the Yan Family immediately and get them to get the production method of dehydrated vegetables at all costs.”
Yun San’s reaction was slow and she did not understand. “The Yan Family has fresh vegetables and expensive ingredients. What’s the use of these dehydrated vegetables?”
Xiaoxiao looked at him as if she was looking at a child, while Rong Yan looked like he could not expose his family’s scandals in public. He personally wet a handkerchief and handed it to Xiaoxiao to wipe her hands. Yun Er sighed and pulled her stupid brother to the side. “His family doesn’t need it, but what about elsewhere? For example, a place where we can’t grow food and vegetables, the border, or… the Xiongnu in the desert?”
Yun San’s eyes widened as he listened. He felt enlightened. “Dream on! We must…”
Xiaoxiao touched her chin and continued happily, “I must sell it to them for a high price.”
Yun San said, “Yes! Eh? What?”
He did not understand. Shouldn’t they grasp such a unique formula in their hands?
How could he know that Xiaoxiao had just heard the space notification not long ago?
[Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission again—Origin of Species. You have received 10,000 points. Your current points balance is 86,880.]
The Origin of Species mission originated from the successful planting of a plant that did not belong to this space-time. In other words, the seed she planted two days ago was alive.
She patted Yun San happily. “Young man, do you think dehydrated vegetables will still be so precious when this city is covered in green?”
Although it sounded unrealistic, Yun San felt that he was bewitched by the confidence in the girl’s tone and was really about to believe her.
Rong Yan scooped another bowl of soup for Xiaoxiao and watched her finish it before saying, “You can do anything you want, just a little. Don’t put yourself in danger.”
Xiaoxiao nodded. “Don’t worry, I’m very smart. Other than you and Doctor Gongsun, no one here knows who I am.”
Otherwise, the Crown Prince would have gone to look for Xiaoxiao directly.
Calculating the time, it would take at least a month for the Yan Family to find the formula for the dehydrated vegetables in Fortune Village. If they delayed and tormented them, they would have to wait a few months. At that time, the first batch of watermelons planted by Xiaoxiao would be ripe.
Aloe vera, sweet potatoes, cactus, hawthorn, and peanuts all had new appearances.
In the future, she would plant more poplar trees, make the sand field green, and change the appearance of the border. Would this place, which was huge and abundant, be as barren as it was now?
At the end of the day, the Crown Prince and some people did not value the border because this place was poor. However, if this place was no longer the same as before one day, would they still be willing to let it go?
In fact, she had secretly planted a large number of new seedlings on the space farmland in the past few days. For example, the poplar tree. The poplar tree was a good thing. It was resistant to high temperatures and barrenness. It also had a strong resistance to sand and heat. It had a long lifespan and would not decay after falling. It was excellent as the first choice for greening and the source of wood.
There were many plants similar to it that could be planted in the desert, such as red willows, buckthorns, cactuses, sand dates, shuttles… Look, as long as one was willing to work hard, there were more solutions than problems..
