The Peerless Servant

After breakfast on the second day, Huo Chenan took Zhang San out to purchase. Although Jinling is not the capital, it is also a prosperous and wealthy place in the south of the Yangtze River. There are countless merchants coming and going, and occasionally you can see foreigners with big noses and blue eyes. Just as the two were strolling, a flower pot held by a foreigner caught Huo Chenan's attention. There was a dwarf tree in the flower pot, which was full of red fruits. Because the fruits were too heavy, the man also put up a branch to support it. "Tomato!" Huo Chenan recognized the plant at a glance. These Semu people sailed across the ocean. If they did not get vitamin supplements at sea, they would easily suffer from sepsis. Tomatoes are rich in vitamins and can prevent sepsis very well, so these foreigners usually bring some tomato trees when they sail. Seeing the red fruit, Huo Chenan's farming genes and foodie genes that belonged to China were stirring, and he immediately stepped forward and said:"Hello." "Oh." The foreigner replied. Huo Chenan was stunned. He didn't expect that the foreigner used Latin. It seems that he might be from the Apennine Peninsula. In his previous life, as an excellent entrepreneur and investor, he taught himself 8 foreign languages ​​in order to cheat foreigners' money, and Latin was naturally no problem. The following is the translation. "Hello." "Oh, God, you can speak Latin." "Yes, my friend. What's your name?" "Rodriguez, what about you? My friend." "Ann, it's like this, I want to buy this pot of tree in your hand." Rodriguez thought for a while and said, "Dear Ann, this pot of tree can be given to you, but I have a request that I hope you don't refuse." "Tell me." "I want to buy some tea, silk, and porcelain. But communication is too difficult. I hope you can be my translator. As a reward, this pot of tomato tree will be given to you. And as long as the deal can be made, I will give you a profit." Huo Chenan thought of the Su family at the first time, "Alas, there is no way, who makes me just a wage earner at present . Otherwise, I will have to kill these foreign devils. "After hesitating for a moment, he deliberately showed a very embarrassed expression and said: "Dear Rodriguez, I am willing to serve you, but you can see that I am just a servant, and my master will not allow me to work for you." Here he deliberately paused for a moment, and sure enough, Rodriguez heard his words and immediately said anxiously: "Two points of interest, this money is enough for you to live a luxurious life for a lifetime." Huo Chen pretended to be hesitant and said hesitantly: "Rodriguez, it's not a matter of money, we are friends, but my master is also very good to me, you make me embarrassed. " "Three points of interest. I think this money is enough to make you forget your master. "Rodriguez's heart was bleeding. Huo Chenan said with an incredible look: "Rodriguez, since you are so generous, I have an idea to ensure that your money is worth it." "Please speak." "My master is in the silk business, so tea and porcelain are not a problem. I want to introduce you to my master. As for this tree, I will buy it with money. What do you think?" Rodriguez nodded and agreed immediately. So the two agreed to meet at this place at noon the next day. After trading tomatoes and money, they both went back home. Back to the Su Mansion, Huo Chenan was not in a hurry to find Su Linglong. He first asked Zhang San to find some flower pots, and he processed all the tomato seeds. After that, he and Zhang San were busy for another afternoon before planting the tomato seeds. Looking at the full flower pots in the back kitchen, he was looking forward to the day of harvest. Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, he made a dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Su Linglong usually eats with her family, of course, she will eat alone when she is busy. It was March, and Su Linglong was busy sowing early rice. The Su family had a farm outside Jinling City, with thousands of acres of fertile land. Every year, spring plowing and autumn harvest were busy times. Unfortunately, there was little rain this spring, and there were signs of severe drought in the entire Yangtze and Huaihe River Basin. So Su Linglong was so busy recently that she had no appetite for food. Usually, Miss Xiao Cui would come to the kitchen to bring back the food, but the water ghost's oolong incident the night before yesterday really frightened Miss Xiao Cui, and she is still bedridden. So these two days, Huo Chenan, the new kitchen manager, was the one who delivered the food. When Huo Chenan came to Su Linglong's study, the eldest lady was behind the desk facing the accounts of various places, with her eyes drooping and her long eyelashes fluttering from time to time. To be honest, even if Huo Chenan had seen countless women in the future, Su Linglong could be regarded as a top beauty. "Miss, it's time to eat." Su Linglong raised her head when she heard his voice, and then met Huo Chenan's clear eyes. She couldn't help but think of the beautiful scenery when they first met, and her cheeks couldn't help but feel a little hot. "Miss, people are iron and food is steel. If you don't eat for a meal, you will be hungry. No matter how busy you are at work, you must eat on time." Su Linglong was slightly stunned, and the beautiful atmosphere was instantly broken. Where did this man learn these strange words? But it sounded like it made sense. Huo Chenan brought out the dishes one by one. When Su Linglong saw the fried eggs with tomatoes, she was instantly attracted. "It smells so good! What is this? The color is so bright." "This is fried eggs with tomatoes." "Oh, the yellow one is eggs, but I haven't heard of this tomato." "Tomatoes are imported. Miss, please feel free to eat." Su Linglong didn't know why, but she had extra trust in this 9527, and she started eating immediately. The tomato scrambled eggs were sour and sweet and quite appetizing. Su Linglong ate two more bowls of rice than usual. Huo Chenan watched from the side the whole time. If there was no rice, he would help Su Linglong to add more. Until the end, Su Linglong put down her bowl and chopsticks contentedly, with a grain of rice hanging from the corner of her mouth, looking extremely cute. Su Linglong praised the tomato scrambled eggs. She immediately asked how many tomatoes were left. "It's enough for one person to eat two or three meals! But don't worry, Miss, I have planted the tomato seeds. When the fruits are ripe in a few months, we can be self-sufficient." Su Linglong didn't expect this guy to be so thoughtful. She was surprised and thought of her sister, so she asked Huo Chenan to make a portion for her sister tomorrow. Huo Chenan also agreed, and then told the young lady about what happened to Rodriguez today. "You also know foreign languages?" "A little, a little!" "Who did you learn all these skills from?" Huo Chenan thought for a moment and simply blamed the foreigner. "I met a foreigner when I was young, and he taught me all these." The story was reasonable and Su Linglong couldn't seem to find any fault with it, so she agreed to talk to the foreigner the next day.
