Chapter 483: Keeping Spirit Vegetables Secret
Qin Lang was very clever; at this moment, he understood Qin Bi's meaning.
Heh, Qin He's luck? Just wait and see how Qin He's luck turns out.
"I'm going home to eat spirit vegetables," Qin Lang said. "I definitely won't show off."
Usually, when eating vegetables in his own courtyard, as long as Qin Lang could resist not showing off, who would know he was eating spirit vegetables? This time, the Qin Heir Apparent wasn't involved in planting the vegetables. He would eat them in his own courtyard, and wouldn't even give any to the Old Qin Yan Marquis Manor.
Damn it, keep it tightly under wraps.
Qin Di also said: "I will instruct your mother not to make a fuss."
Qin Bi sent off Qin Di and Qin Lang, with Rong Juan together. The little milk Tuanzi wasn't in a hurry to find Qin Bi; there were two big baskets of spirit vegetables, including his favorite chili peppers—chili pepper by chili pepper, so fresh.
The teleportation location was the outer courtyard of the Heir Apparent's residence. It took a while for Rong Juan and Qin Bi to send Qin Di and Qin Lang back.
By this time, Rong Yang and the Little Imperial Prince had already picked a handful of vegetables they wanted to eat. Dinner was about to be made: spicy duck, with fresh chili peppers added—add plenty—and sauce. It was so fragrant.
Qin Bi held the little milk Tuanzi: "Did you miss me?"
"Missed you," the little milk Tuanzi said in a milky voice.
Qin Bi was happy and held the little milk Tuanzi, saying: "If you want to eat any vegetables, tell your brother and Little Imperial Prince brother. Ask them to pick good vegetables for you. Eat spirit vegetables to your heart's content. Eat the fresh vegetables I brought back first."
When the little milk Tuanzi heard this, he fluttered and wanted to get down.
Rong Chi: "Pick vegetables."
It was dry and cold in the courtyard, so Qin Bi didn't put him down.
Rong Juan knew Qin Bi loved the children: "Move the two baskets of spirit vegetables into the room."
The Rong Heir Apparent also loved the children but didn't spoil them. However, Qin Bi was afraid of the children catching a cold, so the Heir Apparent naturally followed Qin Bi's wishes. Yan Yan Huwei Yan came over and moved the two baskets of spirit vegetables into the room.
Why did a dignified Yan Yan Huwei Commander come to move baskets?
Yan Yan Huwei Yan didn't leave, his eyes gleaming as he stared at the vegetable baskets.
"Move a basket of the spirit vegetables we planted ourselves from the warehouse," Qin Bi looked at Rong Juan. Rong Juan didn't say anything. Qin Bi instructed: "Half a basket for the aides, half a basket for the guards, and send another basket of spirit vegetables to the Rong Prince."
Non-fresh spirit vegetables could be distributed. With fresh vegetables, Qin Bi didn't feel bad about distributing the previously planted spirit vegetables. Of course, the ones planted in the planting pots were still growing; if they wanted to eat, they would pick them, and no one would share those.
Even if it was the previously accumulated spirit vegetables, Yan Yan Huwei Yan was very happy and bowed: "Thank you, Heir Apparent Consort."
Yan Yan Huwei Yan strode away and called Lin Yao to the warehouse to move a basket of spirit vegetables. With the Heir Apparent Consort and the two little Heirs here, they didn't need to eat fresh spirit vegetables. As long as they weren't fresh, the Heir Apparent didn't care if they took more from the warehouse.
The subordinates were happy, and Rong Yang and the Little Imperial Prince were also happy. Once the little milk Tuanzi entered the room, he didn't let Qin Bi hold him anymore. He supported the basket himself, poking his little head in to pick vegetables.
Don't look at how small he was; the little milk Tuanzi had many tricks up his sleeve.
Rong Juan reached out to untie Qin Bi's cloak: "Why did the spirit vegetables grow so fast?"
Qin Bi went to the county under Qin Tan's jurisdiction and then summoned. After the rain and snow fell and the vegetable seeds were planted, they could eat spirit vegetables on the same day. This had never happened before. In the few lives Rong Juan had been reborn, there had never been a time when they could eat spirit vegetables in one day.
Growing too fast was beyond imagination.
"Another one of the Qin Yan Marquis Manor's Luck clusters went," Qin Bi told Rong Juan.
Rong Juan was surprised. The Little Xiangyun had gone, and there was the Little Five Grains Abundance Cloud. Another one of the Qin Yan Marquis Manor's Luck clusters had gone. Rong Juan was somewhat surprised; the Qin Yan Marquis Manor's Luck clusters hadn't been this diligent in previous lives.
Luck, after all, didn't often leave cultivation families.
Qin Bi was in a good mood. She leaned over and looked at the children gently: "Our Rong Yang and Rong Chi have fresh spirit vegetables to eat."
The children were also happy and laughed.
Seeing this, a hint of a smile appeared in Rong Juan's cold and hard eyebrows. He stepped forward and put away the beast-fur cloak for Qin Bi. The maids didn't dare to step forward; the Rong Heir Apparent didn't need them. As long as it was his wife and children's things, the Heir Apparent did it himself.
In the evening, spicy duck was served, paired with fresh spirit vegetables.
The Little Imperial Prince took a bite: "So fresh, the Chinese cabbage is even better than the ones planted before."
Rong Yang also took a chopstick of spirit vegetables stewed with spicy duck: "Really."
The little milk Tuanzi took a fresh chili pepper from his own small bowl and chewed it in his mouth: "The chili pepper is so fragrant."
Qin Bi couldn't sit still. There were still spirit vegetables in that plot of land in the wasteland. She didn't know if the people from the County Office had harvested the vegetables yet. If not, she wanted some more.
Rong Juan sent someone to Qin Tan's County Office and asked for another basket of spirit vegetables.
By this time, most of the more than one mu of spirit vegetables in the wasteland had been harvested. There were still late-planted ones that hadn't grown well. Since the lucky rain and snow had stopped, the spirit vegetables weren't growing rapidly anymore.
Qin Tan and the Assistant County Magistrate discussed and planned to let these spirit vegetables grow a bit longer.
By rights, the whole county had rain and snow, and this summoning was already very powerful. Qin Tan should have reported it to the Emperor, but everyone had discussed it beforehand, and the few who summoned had divided up the spirit vegetables and kept quiet.
As long as Qin Tan didn't mind, the Assistant County Magistrate naturally had no objections.
That evening, Qin Yan, Qin Tang, and their party returned from the wasteland. Qin He didn't follow them to the Qin Yan Marquis Manor. It was very late, and it was already very dark. Qin He went straight back to the Xue Prince Manor.
This time, Qin He didn't steal the credit.
Qin Bi waited, and Qin Lang waited, but Qin He didn't make a move.
Qin Di only stir-fried a few plates of spirit vegetables with He Shi and didn't tell his two legitimate sons that he had brought spirit vegetables back. By the next day, Qin Yan and Qin Tang went to the wasteland again.
Qin He didn't go; she was tired and told everyone she wouldn't go.
Qin Tan hadn't returned from the County Office. Early in the morning, he went with the Assistant County Magistrate to the place where the wasteland had been torn open. The Assistant County Magistrate invited the families who had helped yesterday, dispatched cultivators, and joined hands with Qin Tan to harvest the more than one mu of vegetable field.
In this freezing winter, the Assistant County Magistrate arranged for his subordinates to sprinkle dry grass on the spirit vegetables to increase their temperature.
"Just need to grow for another two or three days," the Assistant County Magistrate said.
Qin Tan nodded: "Cover it tightly, don't let it be known."
The Assistant County Magistrate nodded. He hadn't received few spirit vegetables; he was full and had nothing better to do than make a fuss. He wouldn't say anything. Qin Tan didn't want to report it to the Emperor. The Assistant County Magistrate didn't know the reason and didn't ask blindly. As long as the spirit vegetables were kept well, it was fine.
Qin Tan also went to the vegetable field from time to time to take a look. After all, they were spirit vegetables. In winter, one couldn't even eat fresh ordinary vegetables. Being able to eat such fresh spirit vegetables made one feel satisfied enough.
Qin Bi had obtained these few baskets of fresh spirit vegetables and let the cook make delicious food for the children every day. The little milk Tuanzi and Rong Yang didn't go to the Yan Guogong Manor anymore. He Zu ran to the Rong Prince Manor in a hurry.
When He Zu saw that the children were doing it for the sake of eating, he felt relieved and went back to report to He Yan.
Two days later, Qin Di told Qin Tang and Qin Xun about planting the spirit vegetables. He had to tell his two legitimate sons; he still had to share some with them to eat. Qin Tang and Qin Xun looked surprised.
"Can eat them in one day?" Qin Xun asked.
"Yes," Qin Di nodded: "Another one of our Qin Yan Marquis Manor's little Luck clusters went to throw luck wildly."
When Qin Tang and Qin Xun heard this, they understood why they were keeping the spirit vegetable planting a secret. ===== CHAPTER 484 =====
