Chapter 748 Dating
Wang Wu never expected that anyone would be interested in such a thing.
This white cypress is not considered a famous flower. Some wealthy families buy a few pots out of curiosity, but because they are not familiar with its habits, they usually cannot keep it alive. Therefore, although it is relatively rare, not many people buy it.
What's going on with these two important people? How come they bought up all the white berries on the market after just a few words?
Lu Yangyang quickly nodded: "Yes, we'll buy them all. If you have connections, you'll get a good fee for running errands."
Lu Yangyang was excited. During her time in Changyang County, she was busy with her aunt's illness and then with making medicine. She didn't remember some of the things Aunt Jing had said very clearly, but the things Aunt Jing had repeatedly told her to do must be correct. She would quickly flip through her notes when she got back, and maybe there would be a big surprise!
Wang Wu's eyes lit up. He had initially thought the customer was joking, but it turned out to be true! Although not many people bought these flowers, he knew a lot of people from his daily life in this market. If there weren't enough in the market, he could find someone to contact. This business earned him much more than he did running errands!
So Wang Wu didn't care what the other party was thinking and nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, sir, I know this market very well. I'll take you there right away."
Pei Ji gave Wang Wu an address and asked him to deliver the flowers he had bought there. Then he followed Wang Wu to the next stall.
"I'm really lucky today."
Lu Yangyang watched them leave, then looked around the stall and saw some uncommon spices and seeds, which she bought as well.
She had only bought one stall, but she was already carrying two bags of things. Zong Que took the things from her and Lu Yangyang muttered, "I should have brought more people with me."
"It's alright, just buy whatever you like. Since we're out shopping, we should make the most of it," Zong Que said gently.
Lu Yangyang couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"What's wrong?" Zong Que asked her.
Lu Yangyang smiled and took his arm. "When I was little, I always dreamed of being able to buy whatever I wanted on the street. I wanted to buy all the delicious food and eat until I was satisfied! I never thought it would actually come true!"
"Then let's not think about anything today, let's eat to our hearts' content!" Zong Que saw a candied hawthorn vendor ahead, walked over, bought one, and held it to Lu Yangyang's lips.
Lu Yangyang took a bite, and the sourness made her face scrunch up. Looking at Zong Que's smiling eyes, she also laughed out loud.
I wish it could stay like this forever.
Such a thought subconsciously popped into Lu Yangyang's mind.
She tiptoed closer to Zong Que and lowered her voice, "Your Highness, can this be considered a date?"
She dressed up carefully today too!
Zong Que replied with a smile, "Yeah, a date."
Lu Yangyang laughed along, "Although it's a break from my busy schedule, it feels pretty good!"
It turns out that with so much joy in my heart, I also felt a quiet nervousness when we met, and I couldn't help but want to confirm...
Zong Que handed her the candied hawthorn, then took her hand with his free hand, his fingertips threading through her fingers to interlock them, his fingers unconsciously tightening slightly.
When you like someone, it's always easy to feel anxious and insecure. He could see her excitement and nervousness, but what she didn't know was that he felt the same way.
He could restrain himself when he didn't receive a response to his feelings, but once he did, he became even more cautious.
Since it was a rare chance to relax, Lu Yangyang stopped thinking about anything else and focused on shopping with Zong Que. This market was much larger than she had imagined, with all sorts of goods. She understood why more and more merchants had been traveling to and from the Northwest in recent years. They could buy precious furs and other valuable items from this market, and the prices would probably be more than ten times higher in the South.
They even encountered a wine seller. Back in Changyang County, Aunt Jing had given them some of her treasured wines and even taught them how to make wine. Unfortunately, Lu Yangyang was preoccupied with medicine at the time and didn't learn how to make wine, but she did get to drink some freshly made wine. There was also wine that Aunt Jing had brought back from overseas, which tasted quite strange.
Lu Yangyang immediately bought several jars to take home, intending to let others try them as well.
"Aunt Jing said she has several better brewing recipes, but unfortunately the timing wasn't right, so she couldn't share them all. However, she secretly brewed some for us to drink in Changyang County." Lu Yangyang exclaimed, "Aunt Jing is really amazing."
"There will be opportunities in the future." Zong Que found someone to send their purchases back first, then turned to comfort Lu Yangyang, "The profit margin on alcohol is huge. If it's too conspicuous, it's easy to attract attention."
If it's just one or two recipes, it won't stand out in a big business. After all, there are many good brewing recipes passed down for thousands of years. But if several are released together, they will most likely attract attention.
“You’re right.” Lu Yangyang nodded. “That’s what Aunt Jing said too. Otherwise, she would have come to the Northwest with us.”
Lu Yangyang sighed, "I really hope that day comes soon."
"Yes, I will." Zong Que gently ruffled her hair, noticing that it was getting late. "It's about time. Let's go back first. I'll take you somewhere tomorrow."
"Huh?" Lu Yangyang asked in surprise. "Where are we going? It's not even dark yet. Shall we go now?"
Zong Que chuckled: "It's not convenient today."
Lu Yangyang was full of curiosity and didn't sleep well last night. She went to find Zong Que early in the morning. Zong Que asked someone to prepare riding clothes for her to travel in, and they rode out of the city together.
Once outside the city and at the horse farm, Lu Yangyang suddenly realized that the inconvenience yesterday was due to her clothes.
When they arrived at the horse farm, Sheng Junyao was already waiting for them outside. Lu Yangyang was surprised: "Big brother, you're here too?"
Sheng Junyao chuckled: "I've been prepared for a long time, just waiting for you."
Lu Yangyang looked at the two of them curiously, wondering what kind of riddle they were playing.
After she followed them into the horse farm, she was stunned. "This is..."
Looking around, Lu Yangyang saw rows of stables filled with glossy horses, and horses running in the open space in the distance. It was the first time she had ever seen so many horses!
Sheng Junyao explained to her, "This horse farm was built a long time ago. The batch of horses we collected from the caravan were delivered around the same time as us. Now, roughly speaking, there are nearly two thousand horses in this horse farm."
“Yangyang, I’ll allocate a thousand horses to you to build your women’s army into a truly capable force for battle. What do you think?” Sheng Junyao turned to look at her.
Lu Yangyang looked at him in surprise, then turned to look at Zong Que, and instantly understood what they meant.
