Chapter 724: Chapter 724: The Woman Known as a Gold Mine
Thinking about this possibility, Yang Ye found himself at a loss for words.
Yang Wang is still persistent with the treasure issue, even though Grandpa Emperor has decided to let it go.
“Third Brother, I absolutely refuse to add this clause to the ‘Daqi Law’. If you really pity that soldier, then you should go to Grandpa Emperor.”
“You are the one overseeing the amendments to the ‘Daqi Law’.”
“Yes, but the final terms have to be approved by our father and grandfather before they can be officially announced. My suggestion can only serve as a reference. The final decision still lies with them.”
Yang Wang stared at Yang Ye, a look of discontent on his face.
Yang Ye met his gaze, his handsome face etched with a measure of helplessness. Official source is ɴovelfire.net
A moment later, Yang Wang let out a sigh, “Fine, I’ll try talking to Grandpa Emperor.”
“By the way, I heard that Miss Xiaomai has developed something new with sweet potatoes?” He asked.
“Someone, serve some dried sweet potatoes.” Yang Ye immediately instructed a maid to bring a plate.
Qiao Xiaomai had managed to improve the color of the dried sweet potatoes this time. They no longer looked like rat droppings and were presentable for serving guests.
With the previous color, he could only eat it alone. It was impossible to share with anyone else.
To be exact, Qiao Xiaomai had uniformly dyed and produced slices this time, not the dried version.
Yang Wang examined the carrot-colored dried sweet potato in his hand before putting it in his mouth. After tasting it, he exclaimed, “Indeed, only Xiaomai could cook such an impressive food out of a simple sweet potato.”
Yang Ye couldn’t help but smile at this remark, reminding him, “Third Brother, she is now married. You should address her as Mrs. Tong.”
Yang Wang chuckled, “What about Mister Tong? Let’s wait until he outshines Miss Xiaomai.”
First, it was Miss Qiao, and now it’s Miss Xiaomai. Yang Ye was certain that Yang Wang’s earlier comment was a complete fabrication!
Moreover, Yang Wang’s obsession with Qiao Xiaomai didn’t diminish but instead was growing stronger!
“I heard that these dried sweet potatoes are 300 wen per kilogram?” Yang Wang asked again.
“Might be,” Yang Ye replied uncertainly. “She gave it to me for free, so I don’t know the exact price.”
“Fan Jia bought 500 kilograms and quickly distributed them all. I didn’t even get to see it. Seems like Miss Xiaomai’s misunderstanding towards me is rather deep!”
Yang Ye: “…Hmm? Fan Jia bought 500 kilograms?”
“Yes, it was distributed among acquaintances of the Fan family. When the 500 kilograms entered the Capital City, it was like a drop of water in the sea, not even causing a ripple. However, the good reputation has spread successfully, everyone who tasted it praised its taste.”
“I believe they’re likely to ask Fan Jia to place another large order soon.”
Yang Ye heard this and couldn’t help but let out an oh.
He actually knew all this, but it was better to act unaware before Yang Wang.
“How much did Miss Xiaomai give you?” Yang Wang asked again.
“Not much, I sent some to the palace.”
“Miss Xiaomai is indeed generous towards you,” Yang Wang sighed.
Given the amount she gifted, the quantity couldn’t be small. It was likely sent in hundreds of kilograms.
She gave Yang Ye hundreds of kilograms, but not even a single piece to him.
Such an unfair difference!
And the sweet potatoes, which initially cost one wen for three kilograms, was boosted by Qiao Xiaomai to the price of 300 wen per kilogram.
The value has increased many times over; no wonder he called her a gold mine. Impressive indeed!
“Tell Miss Xiaomai that I also plan to buy some… um… one thousand kilograms.” Yang Wang contemplated for a moment then said, “And distribute some to my subordinates.”
As he spoke, he took out three 100 tael silver notes from his pocket and handed them to Yang Ye.
