Chapter 330 Fruits that rich people can afford
Recently, Fu Chenan would go to Xiao Yingchun's side to accompany his wife after going to court every day, and Ao Chengyi would follow the emperor as a bodyguard when he went to court.
Although he was said to be accompanying the prince, he actually spent more time with the emperor than with Fu Chenan!
When Fu Chenan goes to accompany Xiao Yingchun in the afternoon, he will practice martial arts with the martial arts master in the palace.
It is euphemistically called "Only when you have good kung fu can you truly serve as a guard beside the emperor."
In fact, both Fu Zhonghai and Fu Chenan felt that Ao Chengjie was too thin.
The little emperor's grandson should exercise more and become stronger so that he can take on more tasks in the future.
Lu Shangfu agreed and picked up the fruit.
He knew that Emperor Tianwu truly felt sorry for and liked this sensible and attentive emperor's eldest grandson.
Just at this moment, Dr. Meng had also finished asking for Ping'an pulse, and Fu Chenan was asking him for advice.
"If Yingying eats more fruits, will the child's appearance and skin be better in the future?"
Doctor Meng reminded sternly: "When a woman is pregnant and wants to give birth to a healthy and beautiful child, the most important things are two things. One is to be in a happy mood, and the other is to eat a balanced diet, sleep well, and eat well. Don't eat too much of anything."
"If you eat too much of these melons and fruits, the child will easily grow too big, causing difficulties in giving birth, and the woman herself will easily suffer from diabetes..."
"If it is for the health of the child, eating more vegetables will have the same effect and is safer for the woman herself."
Diabetes is the modern diabetes.
Fu Chenan gave up after hearing what the authoritative doctor said: "Then eat more vegetables..."
Finally no longer obsessed with fruits.
Xiao Yingchun watched Doctor Meng leave dumbfounded, and then looked at Fu Chenan: "Have you given up now?"
Fu Chenan pointed to the various fruits in the fruit plate and told the truth.
"I think these fruits are more delicious than vegetables, and you might like them more, so I want you to eat more..."
"Who would have thought that we can't eat more of such delicious food..."
"My father and I used to go hunting in the mountains. There would be wild fruits in the mountains in autumn, and we would pick them and eat them..."
"But how can those wild fruits be so sweet!"
"One time, the wild fruits my father picked were so sour that I cried because of the sourness..."
"My mother had just left at that time, and the family still owed foreign debt. My father wanted to save money to pay off the foreign debt, and he was reluctant to buy me candy."
"My dad said at that time that when he saves money in the future, he will definitely buy me the sweetest fruit to eat!"
Xiao Yingchun looked at Fu Chenan and Fu Zhonghai and suddenly realized: No wonder both father and son love sweets...
Ao Chengji was also stunned when he saw a huge box of fruits with strange colors and shapes.
"Is this a reward from your Majesty?"
Lu Daban smiled particularly kindly: "Yes, young master."
"Your Majesty said, if you can't finish the meal, you can take it home and give it to the Lord and Lady to taste..."
Ao Chengji hurriedly thanked him.
After carefully picking up a strawberry and taking a bite, Ao Chengjie's eyes widened.
What fruit is this? This is so delicious too!
He finished one and looked at the remaining strawberries in the box.
Although there was eagerness in his eyes, he resisted the desire to eat more and carefully covered the box.
"Thank you, father-in-law. My mother and I would like to thank your majesty for the reward!"
Lu Shangfu also nodded secretly in his heart: This little emperor's grandson is indeed sincere in his feelings for his mother and cannot fake it.
I obviously like it so much, but I can’t bear to eat one more...
No wonder His Majesty likes and feels sorry for him so much.
When Cui Junjun saw the fruit box his son brought back, he was also curious: "What kind of fruit is this?"
Ao Chengji shook his head obediently: "My son doesn't know me either, but I tasted one of these. It's very sweet and fragrant..."
"Mom, try it quickly..."
The son held the strawberry and wanted to taste it himself. How could Cui Junjun have the heart to refuse? He took it and put it in his mouth.
It's really delicious!
She was eating the fruit, but Ao Chengcheng was a little puzzled. "Mom, Your Majesty always rewards me with various fruits and snacks. If I can't finish them all, he asks me to take them home for you to try..."
"Why is this?"
Of course Junjun Cui knows why. This is His Majesty the Emperor expressing concern and apology to his daughter-in-law who cannot see the light of day!
But she couldn't tell Ao Chengji.
Therefore, Lord Cui had no choice but to look at Ao Chengji with a smile: "Of course it's because His Majesty likes you, because you are good at your job and have won His Majesty's heart."
"Really?" Ao Chengcheng didn't believe it.
"But I do nothing every day. I just follow His Majesty, listening and watching."
"His Majesty also asked Master Wu to take me to exercise every day. I had lunch in the palace. I ate well..."
The child is small, but not stupid.
Ao Chengji found out very sensitively: His Majesty the Emperor really liked him. He did not have any requirements for him, but he cared and loved him a lot.
Cui Junjun had a good way of dealing with his son: "Isn't this good? Or how do you want His Majesty to treat you?"
Ao Chengji was startled by these words. He forgot to inquire in that direction again and shook his head in a hurry.
"Of course that's good! My son is just not used to it yet..."
Early the next day, a fruit shop opened on a state-owned street in Tianwu Kingdom!
All kinds of fruits that no one had ever seen were put out, but the door was cordoned off and several guards were posted to prevent anyone from entering.
The people watching were dumbfounded: What? Open for business but not allowed in?
A shopkeeper placed a pillar directly at the door and arranged for someone to stand on the pillar and shout.
"Fruits are expensive. The cheapest sweet peach costs ten taels of silver per catty. If you like it, you can buy a small piece and try it..."
As he spoke, the shopkeeper raised a tray with a few sliced crisp peaches and strawberries that he had never seen before.
The shopkeeper carefully picked up the strawberry: "Just one, it costs nearly three taels of silver!"
"Therefore, you cannot touch or taste the fruits in our store. If they are damaged, you will have to pay for them."
"Come in if you have needs, and buy if you want to try something new..."
When most people heard this, they backed down.
It’s not that I can’t afford strawberries, it’s that my flesh really hurts!
Three taels of silver, if you save a little, it can be enough for ordinary people to eat for a year!
If it gets damaged, you'll have to pay for it, and ordinary spectators won't dare to go in.
Although people don't go in, it doesn't prevent them from standing outside.
What kind of people are they willing to buy such expensive fruits?
Soon, the first family appeared.
He is the steward of Ningyuan Hou Mansion.
The steward had a loud voice and a smile on his face.
"Yesterday, my young master brought back some fruits that were rewarded by His Majesty. Our Lord said they were very delicious and wanted to buy some to honor his parents..."
The shopkeeper immediately greeted with a smile: "Please come in..."
The steward chose ten strawberries, three pounds of oranges, a box of green dates, and a few oranges...
The waiter sang loudly: "I collect payment from your distinguished customer for one hundred taels and three cents..."
"Hiss!"
The onlookers outside the store all gasped!
“So expensive?!”
"It costs hundreds of taels to buy fruit?!"
“This is really something only rich families are willing to eat...”
Fortunately, the steward of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion openly said that it was Lord Cui who bought it to honor his parents.
It is nothing for a county prince to honor his parents and give him a fruit worth a hundred taels of silver...
Everyone craned their necks to look into the store: How many fruits could there be for one hundred taels of silver?
