Chapter 160: Long Xueli
Yu Hao finally understood why Zhou Ren could be the prefect here for twenty years.
As a gift, give a puppet. This is Yu Hao. If it were someone else, he would have to be kicked out.
But don't tell me, this puppet looks quite similar to Yu Hao. I didn't expect Zhou Ren to have such skills.
Zhou Ren looked at the puppets on the table and felt a little embarrassed.
But there was nothing he could do, his pocket was cleaner than his face, and he couldn't get any decent gifts out of it.
If it weren't for his wife's repeated urging, he wouldn't have held a puppet to thank Yu Hao.
Of course, Zhou Ren actually wanted to test Yu Hao. If Yu Hao was the kind of person who was greedy for money, then he would rather be the prefect of Guangyi Mansion for the rest of his life than have anything to do with Yu Hao.
Yu Hao picked up the puppet, played with it in his hands, then put it in his arms and said with a smile: "I like this gift very much, thank you Mr. Zhou."
Seeing Yu Hao's sincere smile, Zhou Ren was stunned for a moment, and then he also laughed: "As long as the prince-in-law likes it."
"Master Zhou came so late just to thank me, right?"
"The prince-in-law is really clever. In fact, I have come here to ask the prince-in-law one more thing." Zhou Ren said quickly.
"Master Zhou, please speak."
"I'll be honest here. Although the food problem has been solved now, there is still another problem, and that is water sources. I don't know about other places. The rivers and lakes in Guangyi Prefecture have dried up, and the wells are basically coming soon.
It’s over, and it’s estimated that in a few more months, we in Guangyi Mansion will have no water to drink.”
"I heard that the Prince Consort is very intelligent, so I wanted to ask the Prince Consort for advice. Is there any way to find the source of water?"
After listening to Zhou Ren's words, Yu Hao also fell into deep thought.
Along the way, he has seen the situation in Guangyi Mansion. Indeed, as Zhou Ren said, it won't be long before the people will run out of water.
However, as a modern person who has traveled through time, this little thing is still difficult for Yu Hao.
Soon, Yu Hao thought of a way, smiled slightly and said: "Then we will go outside the city to find water sources tomorrow, but we have to ask Mr. Zhou to prepare more dry mugwort leaves."
mugwort leaves?
Zhou Ren was stunned. Mugwort leaves can be used as medicine, but what does it have to do with finding water sources?
Could it be that Yu Hao is ill?
But Yu Hao doesn’t look like he’s sick!
Although he was extremely confused, since it was something Yu Hao had told him, he naturally did not dare to neglect it and quickly remembered it in his heart.
"Don't worry, Sir, I'll go get ready right away."
…
A few hours ago, Wudu City, Haoyue Auction House.
Tonight is the second auction event at Haoyue Auction House. The entire auction house is crowded with people, and it is even more popular than the first time.
When they learned that there was a jade auction this time, many dignitaries brought all the money they had at home, hoping to compete.
There are only two hundred private rooms in Haoyue Auction House, which can only accommodate two hundred distinguished guests.
But in less than half an hour, all the two hundred private rooms were full, and some VIPs who came late were blocked from the auction room by the escort.
The auction hasn't even started yet, but the Haoyue Auction House has made a net profit of two million taels of silver just from the admission fee.
Moreover, the VIPs participating in this auction were far superior to the previous one in terms of status and wealth.
Backstage at the auction house, Li Shihan was instructing the waiters to bring out plates of fruit. The fruit plate contained peeled white pears, but they now have a nice name, Longxue Li.
After Yu Hao left Tianli Village, he immediately wrote a letter to Li Shihan and asked Li Shihan to send someone to Tianli Village to transport all the white pears back.
When the white pears arrived in Wudu City, Haoyue Manor did not sell them immediately, but put them all in the auction house.
"These dragon snow pears must be delivered to every private room, and must not be missed. Moreover, each private room can only serve one plate, and no more can be added. Do you understand?" Li Shihan looked at the dozens of waiters in front of him and said seriously.
"Understood!" the waiters responded in unison.
Then Li Shihan looked at Datou aside and asked: "Have all the distinguished guests entered?"
Datou quickly raised his hands and replied: "Back to the owner, all the distinguished guests have entered the venue, and the door to the auction house has been closed."
Li Shihan nodded: "Then get ready to start!"
On the other side, the door to private room No. 3 slowly opened, and Chang Sun Lang and Ding Oulong walked in wearing masks.
"Why is it this private room again?" Changsun Lang looked at the big "three" on the wall of the private room, and his whole body felt bad.
Thinking back to the last time, he was beaten beyond recognition in this private room, like a dead dog, and his injuries have not healed until now.
Ding Oulong glanced at the waiter behind him carefully and whispered to Changsun Lang: "Brother Lang, forget it, we were the last ones to come in. This must be the last private room. We must not let anyone in the auction house recognize it.
Come out of us."
Changsun Langshen nodded, thinking it was a nod. He sat down at the table and planned to taste the delicacies provided by the auction house first, but found that there was only a plate of pears on the table.
Changsun Lang's face turned dark instantly, and he said angrily to the waiter: "How do you do things at your auction house? Is it aimed at me? Why don't you serve me delicious food and only give me a plate of pears?"
"Dear guest, please calm down. The food provided in each private room is the same. This is the Longxue pear specially provided by our auction house. Eating it has a beautifying effect. You can try it." The waiter said with a smile.
Changsun Lang was just about to get angry when he saw Ding Oulong next to him picking up a piece of pear and stuffing it into his mouth.
As the juice exploded in his mouth, Ding Oulong's eyes suddenly widened: "Brother Lang, try it quickly, this pear is really delicious!"
Changsun Lang glanced at Ding Oulong with disgust, this guy even thought the dumplings were delicious.
But seeing Ding Oulong eating several pieces by himself, Changsun Lang couldn't help but eat a piece and couldn't help himself.
The same scene happened in every private room. The VIPs saw that there was only a plate of pears on the table, and they all raised questions.
But when they tasted it in person, they were instantly attracted by the taste of Longxueli.
In the blink of an eye, the plate of dragon snow pears on the table was wiped clean by Chang Sun Lang and Ding Ou Long.
Ding Oulong touched his face and said in surprise: "Brother Lang, I feel like my skin has really become smoother, and your skin seems to be whiter too!"
"Really?" Changsun Lang was delighted and quickly touched his face. It was indeed more delicate and smooth. Isn't this Long Xueli so amazing?
The waiter on the side couldn't help but covered his mouth and laughed when he saw the two of them.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, pears are rich in organic acids, which can promote the secretion of intestinal digestive juices and help improve digestive function. If digestion is good, the skin can naturally be improved.
But the effect is by no means as obvious as what Chang Sunlang and Ding Oulong said. These two people obviously have a psychological effect.
Changsun Lang touched his face narcissistically. He was already as handsome as a jade tree, but if he ate this dragon snow pear, how handsome would he be?
By then, maybe even Li Shihan will be impressed by his appearance and be willing to be with him.
Thinking of this, Changsun Lang quickly handed the plate to the waiter: "Waiter, one more plate."
