As soon as Jiang Shuyue got off the carriage, she saw Gao Mu and Zhang Cai coming out of the mansion.

Zhang Cai saw Jiang Shuyue standing outside the door and hurried forward to greet, "Meet the young lady."

"The young lady is back." Gao Mu shouted and went to take the items from Qiu Ju's hand.

"Why are you rushing to the city in this weather today?" Jiang Shuyue looked at the carriage expectantly.

If nothing unexpected happened, Zhang Cai should be here to deliver vegetables.

The outside of the carriage was no different from an ordinary carriage. Zhang Cai stepped forward and lifted the curtain.

The carriage with the seat removed was full of bamboo baskets.

"The small ones are here to deliver vegetables. Green leafy vegetables are easy to freeze, so the small ones cannot be delivered on a cart." Zhang Cai said with a simple smile.

Jiang Shuyue gave Zhang Cai an approving look, "Your idea is good, bamboo baskets are breathable, and green leafy vegetables will not turn yellow."

"I sent a basket of vegetables to the kitchen, please tell me where to send the rest."

Thinking that it has been a while since Zhang Cai and his son separated, Jiang Shuyue said, "Let Gao Mu go with you to deliver the vegetables. You stay to see Yaozu today, and it won't be too late to return to the manor tomorrow."

Jiang Shuyue's words were exactly what Zhang Cai wanted. Before leaving, his father specifically told him to see if Yaozu was used to living in the capital and whether he had taken good care of the young master.

Zhang Cai bowed slightly, "I will follow the young lady's arrangement."

Gao Mu and Qiu Ju moved the items to the gatehouse. Qiu Ju said to Gao Mu, "Leave it to me. Go and listen to the young lady's orders."

Seeing Gao Mu coming out of the gatehouse, Jiang Shuyue said, "Send some to the palace first, leave a basket for Ajin, and send the rest to the restaurant."

"How much is appropriate for the palace to send."

Jiang Shuyue thought for a while and said, "Send two baskets for the people in the palace to taste."

She looked at Zhang Cai again, "How many days will it take for the next delivery of vegetables?"

Zhang Cai replied respectfully, "If the young lady needs it urgently, I can deliver it every other day after I go back."

"That's not necessary. It just snowed heavily and the road is slippery. It's just right to send another car in five days."

Gao Mu and Zhang Cai left, and Jiang Shuyue walked to the kitchen.

A full basket of small cabbages, the green leaves are still shining.

Jiang Shuyue asked the cook to divide it into two portions, one for the mansion to eat, and the other for the servant to deliver to Du Yutong's house.

Du Mansion.

Du Yutong lazily leaned on the couch, Zhuer said: "Miss, the snow outside seems to be getting smaller and smaller. If you feel bored, I will accompany you to the yard to make a snowman?"

"No, if my mother sees me, she will definitely say I am childish."

After Du Yutong finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something, "Zhuer, go get a cloak, let's go to my aunt's yard to take a look."

Before Zhuer could get the cloak, Du Yutong jumped up from the couch and ran out like a gust of wind.

"It's cold outside, Miss, wait a minute." Zhuer hurriedly chased after her.

Du Wenru saw her thinly dressed niece coming over, and quickly stuffed the hot water bottle in her hand into Du Yutong's arms.

"Why are you running so fast, kid? Don't you know to put on your cloak? It's so cold, what should you do if you catch a cold?"

Du Yutong hugged the hot water bottle tightly and said with a playful smile: "It's not cold. I feel warm in my heart thinking that my aunt will make a lot of money soon."

"You are such a money-grubber. Your aunt's shops can only support herself after deducting expenses. How can she make a lot of money?"

Du Wenru gently touched Du Yutong's forehead, then pulled her to sit on the couch.

The maid in the room had just poured a cup of hot tea when Zhu'er followed in breathlessly.

"Miss, you ran too fast, I couldn't catch up with you."

Du Yutong said to Zhu'er: "Go and rest, I have something important to discuss with my aunt."

Zhu'er bowed slightly, put down her cloak and stepped aside.

Seeing her niece's serious look, Du Wenru sat down next to Du Yutong, "Does Tong'er really have any business tips to share with aunt?"

"Aunt, I just remembered that sister Yue'er runs Juxian Pavilion so well. She has a good business sense. How about you invite sister Yue'er to invest in the incense shop?" Du Yutong looked at her aunt with shining eyes.

Du Wenru nodded without thinking, "Of course, I just don't know if Miss Jiang will be interested in my small business."

"Aunt, don't underestimate the small business now. Maybe it will be big in the future. There are so many rich families in the capital, and the amount of incense used is not small."

Du Wenru was not so optimistic. She said: "There are many ladies in the capital who have spice shops at home, and some of them are not well managed and have been losing money."

"If you want to invite Miss Jiang to invest, just let her help and guide, and don't let her invest money in it. If there is a loss, I will feel bad. "

Du Yutong also agreed with her aunt's words and nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, I will go to talk to Sister Yue'er about this tomorrow, but I believe in Sister Yue'er's ability. She will definitely find a way to sell incense better."

Du Yutong was talking happily when a maid outside the door reported, "Miss, the Jiang Mansion sent someone to deliver green leafy vegetables. Do you want to go out and take a look?"

"Green leafy vegetables!"

Du Yutong stood up suddenly, "Sister Yue'er's greenhouse vegetables on the farm are successful!"

Before Du Wenru had time to ask what greenhouse vegetables were, a figure flashed in front of her, and Du Yutong grabbed her cloak and rushed out of the warm room.

When Du Yutong came to the outer courtyard, the servant who delivered the vegetables had already left.

On the Eight Immortals Table, a basket full of small cabbages lay in the bamboo basket.

Du Yutong picked up a vegetable and looked at it over and over again, and then sniffed it close to her nose.

"This vegetable is really strange. The part above the root is white and tender. You can tell it must be crunchy when you eat it. The leaves are like rapeseed seedlings in spring, and they also emit a faint fragrance."

"That's right. In this season, green leafy vegetables are a rarity. You can't buy them even if you have money."

"Not to mention that you can't buy them even if you have money. Even the imperial kitchen doesn't have this rarity."

"I went to the east market to buy some a few days ago. There weren't many radishes and cabbages in the market."

"This vegetable looks so cute. I've never seen it before."

The servants and maids in the outer courtyard learned that the Jiang Mansion had sent fresh vegetables, so they all came to have a sneak peek.

Everyone was talking about the cabbage. Du Yutong put down the dish in her hand and asked, "Did the guy who delivered the dish tell me how to make it delicious?"

The servant in charge of purchasing in the kitchen said, "I asked, this dish is called cabbage, it can be cooked into soup, stir-fried, and the leaves can be cut into vegetable porridge."

"Cook all the ways you said, don't let the dish go bad." Du Yutong is a meat lover. She hasn't eaten green leafy vegetables since winter. Looking at the green and fresh vegetables, she suddenly felt a little greedy.

...

In the imperial garden, the plum blossoms are particularly charming in their icy and snowy appearance. A tall figure stands under the beautiful red wall.

Suddenly, a figure ran from a distance.

Looking at the shallow footprints in the snow behind the person, Xiao Jingzhao said lightly, "Has the Jinyiwei sent back any news?"
