The Golden County Magistrate

Chen Yan said seriously: "I can see that Miss Zhou is a person with great ambitions..."

He paused and glanced at her. She really has "great" ambitions, no less than his Qing'er or Zheng Yan!

Then he continued: "Therefore, Miss Zhou will naturally not give up big profits for small profits! I promise you that in half a month, you will make a lot of money!"

Tang Yun stared at him doubtfully: "I don't want promises, I want to know what you want to do!"

Looking at her attitude, Chen Yan must have revealed some of the bottom line. After thinking about it, he lowered his voice and said a few words.

Tang Yun was stunned.

What is this!

Can it be like this? Is it true?

"Look at your expression, you obviously don't believe it!"

"How about this, let's make a bet."

"Half a month later, within one day, I can make you earn 200,000 taels of silver!"

"If you can't reach that, I will compensate you with 200,000 taels!"

Chen Yan said confidently.

Tang Yun said in a lost voice: "What! 200,000 taels in one day? How is that possible!"

If the silver in the world is really that easy to make, what is she worried about!

Chen Yan shook his head and said: "I'll ask you a question. If I told you before that a small bottle of Yaochi fairy wine could sell for 300 taels and would be snapped up by countless people, do you think it's possible?"

Tang Yun was stunned. Why did this guy suddenly ask this?

"Based on my understanding of Miss Zhou, you will definitely think it's impossible."

"But it has become a reality."

"You think it's impossible because you can't do it, but it's not because I can't do it!"

Chen Yan said lightly.

Tang Yun was speechless.

That was true.

Cement, escalators, sugar... so many things she thought were impossible, and she had never even thought about them.

But they became reality for Chen Yan!

"Okay, I'll make this bet with you! If you win, I'll give you two hundred thousand taels! But I'll give it to you after my Zhou's Chamber of Commerce has passed this difficult period." She said decisively.

"No need for silver. If you lose, I just want you to do something for me. As for what to do, we'll talk about it later. You can rest assured that it must be something you can do." A sly look flashed in Chen Yan's eyes.

"Okay!" At this point, Tang Yun couldn't refuse, so he could only hope that everything would go as smoothly as he expected!

"In addition, what I just told you must not be revealed to anyone."

"Also, Manager Zhou must hold on. He will face great pressure during this period. Don't betray me!"

"As for what will happen next, just wait and see. It won't be long before those who follow suit will be in big trouble!"

Chen Yan said confidently.

Tang Yun rolled her eyes at him, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly stretched out her hand: "Give it to me."

Chen Yan looked at her fair and delicate jade palm and said in astonishment: "I've never seen anyone ask for a gift back."

Tang Yun stamped her feet lightly and said angrily: "Who wants those! Take them if you want."

Li Rui looked at her in astonishment, feeling a little wronged, but she didn't dare to speak.

That was all her own money. Your Majesty, please give it to me as a favor.

Although it's not worth much, it's still a few taels of silver.

Just as he was thinking, he heard Tang Yun continue: "Gifts should be exchanged. You took my gift, shouldn't you return the favor? I don't think we need to use those messy things. Just be straightforward and buy two barrels of Yaochi Xianjiu!"

Chen Yan laughed and said: "You want to exchange this cheap stuff for my Yaochi Xianjiu? No."

Tang Yun said angrily: "Are you a man? Didn't you say last time that as long as I want to drink it, I just need to ask you!"

Chen Yan said confidently: "I only said that you can ask, but I didn't say that I will definitely give it to you if you ask."

Tang Yun stamped her feet in anger: "You!"

Li Rui looked at her in surprise.

This is the first time I have seen the emperor with such a girlish angry expression!

But rather than being angry, it's better to say, well, like being a spoiled child...

"Sir, don't tease Miss Zhou." Lu Qing'er at the side couldn't help but interrupt, "Miss Zhou, my master is joking with you! Come with me, my master has already prepared fresh Yaochi fairy wine for you."

"What? Already prepared?" Tang Yun's beautiful eyes were stunned.

"Yes, my master said that you will definitely come again today at the earliest and tomorrow at the latest, so it has already been prepared." Lu Qing'er explained with a smile.

"He is so smart?" Li Rui beside him was surprised.

"You can also say it's smart, mainly because I think that if your boss has the opportunity to come and get my treasure, he will definitely not miss it." Chen Yan said with a smile.

Tang Yun glared at him and was also very surprised.

But thinking of Yaochi fairy wine,She didn't have time to argue with him, and immediately took Li Rui and Lu Qing'er into the inner hall.

Chen Yan smiled, but didn't go in with them, and went around to the vegetable garden in the backyard.

It's time to take care of his precious seedlings again!

In the inner hall, a bucket of freshly brewed milk tea has been prepared on the table.

Lu Qing'er played the role of host and poured a cup for Tang Yun.

But Tang Yun held back and pushed the cup in front of Li Rui: "This cup is yours."

Li Rui was stunned, and then said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty... Thank you, Master!"

She was so excited that she almost let it slip!

She had been eyeing this Yao Chi fairy wine for a long time, but it was a pity that the price was too high, how could she afford it?

Tang Yun rolled her eyes at her: "Look at the look in your eyes just now, how could I treat you badly?"

Li Rui's cheeks flushed.

It turned out that the emperor noticed her aggrieved look just now.

Lu Qing'er sighed, "You two really have a deep master-servant relationship."

She poured another cup for Tang Yun, and took out an ice bucket, and put ice cubes in each of the two girls.

"Hot drinks warm the heart, and iced drinks calm the mind. It's hot today, so drink iced drinks."

"Thank you." Li Rui happily held the cup, sipped it carefully, and showed an infinitely satisfied expression.

Tang Yun had already taken a big sip, but her eyes were curiously looking at the bucket of ice cubes.

Before, she only knew that each bucket of Yao Chi Xian Niang that was delivered had to be equipped with a bucket of ice, but she had never seen an ice bucket. Seeing it with her own eyes this time, she always felt that something was wrong.

The bucket looked like a miniature wine barrel, and the entire shell was made of gold and iron, with a fastening lid.

The ice cubes inside were obviously not temporarily put in, and it seemed to have been filled for at least a few hours, but the shape of the ice cubes was still very complete, with little sign of melting.

When using ice in the palace, it was like a race. Fengling Guards would remove ice as quickly as possible, knock off small ice cubes from large lumps, and put them into a small wooden barrel wrapped tightly with thick cotton.

The reason for wrapping with cotton is that it can keep the temperature low for a certain period of time, so that the ice cubes will not melt quickly.

But even so, the ice cubes taken out must be used within two incense sticks, otherwise they will melt.

"This bucket seems to be a little special?" Thinking of this, she couldn't help asking.

"Miss Zhou is really careful, few people will notice it. This is the 'insulated bucket' designed by my master." Lu Qing'er said while pushing the ice bucket in front of her.
