Chapter 246 Just finished a battle

Wei Ruo thought for a while, and said, "Boss Fan, is it a little hasty to believe that I have the ability to help you manage tea gardens and develop tea just based on the rumors you've heard?"

Although those few things can reflect her understanding of agriculture to a certain extent, they seem to be far from being able to help Fan Chengxu's tea business.

"It's true that I can't, but I'm willing to bet. I don't like to do business step by step. I'm too disciplined. I like taking risks and I like to gamble."

Fan Chengxu still looked at Wei Ruo with a smile.

Originally, he planned to ask Xu Heyou to help him get rid of the necrotic seedlings on his farm, so as to judge whether he was qualified and whether he wanted to talk about tea cooperation with him.

After all, tea cooperation is not a trivial matter.

But what Xu Heyou has done recently made him give up this idea directly. He is willing to take a gamble. As long as Xu Heyou has the courage to take on his job, he dares to give him this opportunity to let him work in his tea garden Try it out and work with him.

"I can't answer you right now, I need to consider this matter." Wei Ruo replied.

"No problem, Mr. Xu can think about it slowly, and contact me when he thinks clearly." Fan Chengxu had a smile in his eyes and a relaxed expression.

As he said that, Fan Chengxu ordered someone to bring the latest dishes of Zuixianju for Wei Ruo to taste: "Mr. Xu, these are some new dishes that Zuixianju has recently launched. Please try them and give us your opinion."

Wei Ruo was not polite, picked up the chopsticks, and began to savor each dish carefully.

Braised fish, steamed meatballs, boiled cabbage heart...these dishes all use the seasoning provided by Wei Ruo without exception.

"Very good." Wei Ruo commented.

The chef's craftsmanship is good, and with the seasoning she provided, the taste is really good.

"Master Xu, do you think there is room for improvement?" Fan Chengxu asked again.

"I'm not sure about this. The chef at Zuixianju must know how to cook better than me, so I won't make any comments." Wei Ruo replied.

Wei Ruo has an idea, but he doesn't want to mention it. It's better to let the chef of Zuixianju study the cooking.

"Diners don't necessarily need to know how to cook to make comments."

"I really don't have any comments."

"Okay then, I won't ask any more, please take it easy, Mr. Xu." Fan Chengxu stopped asking questions, and asked Wei Ruo to have a good meal.

Wei Ruo and Fan Chengxu were having lunch together when suddenly the door opened.

Wei Ruo and Fan Chengxu looked at the door at the same time, but saw that the person who came was Chu Lan who was wearing a bamboo hat to cover his face.

The relaxed expression on Wei Ruo's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by vigilance and solemnity.

This subtle change in her expression did not escape Chu Lan's eyes, which made him feel restless.

Fan Chengxu came to his senses first, and stood up to greet him: "Why is Mr. Zhu so free to come to my place today?"

Knowing that Chu Lan had not revealed his identity to the outside world, Fan Chengxu still called him "Mr. Zhu".

Chu Lan nodded and followed Fan Chengxu into the seat.

After Chu Lan took her seat, her eyes never left Wei Ruo.

Although separated by a veil, Wei Ruo could still feel that this person was looking at him.

In the beginning, Wei Ruo was in the mood of appreciating delicious food, but now it was completely gone, and the whole person became serious and reserved.

"Boss Fan, you and your guests should have something to discuss, so I won't bother you any further." Wei Ruo got up and planned to leave.

Fan Chengxu subconsciously looked in Chu Lan's direction.

Chu Lan was just sitting there, neither moving nor speaking.

Plus not being able to see his expression, Fan Chengxu couldn't guess even if he wanted to.

So Fan Chengxu smiled and said to Wei Ruo: "Young Master Xu, please sit down, it's still early, and I'll let you make a pot of Biluochun again."

Wei Ruo shook his head: "I appreciate Boss Fan's kindness, but I still have some things to do later, so I can't delay any longer."

"Okay then, I'll send Mr. Xu off." Fan Chengxu didn't persuade much.

Fan Chengxu sent Wei Ruo to the door, and saw that their master and servant returned to the box immediately after leaving.

"Your Highness."

"What were you talking about with him just now?" Chu Lan asked.

"Talking about things that make money, His Highness also knows that I am a common man who loses money. What interests me is the things that make money."

After answering, Fan Chengxu asked Chu Lan cautiously: "What is your Highness looking for me today?"

"Nothing important." Chu Lan said.

Blood oozes from Chu Lan's right arm while speaking.

Fan Chengxu was startled and hurried forward.

"His Highness is injured?"

After confirming that the blood oozing from his arm was real, Fan Chengxu discovered that Chu Lan was injured, and the blood had already soaked his sleeves, but it was not obvious because he was wearing black clothes.

"In the past half a month, we have experienced a battle with the Japanese pirates. Although the opponent ended in a big defeat, our side suffered heavy losses." Chu Lan said without changing his face.

"I'll find a doctor for you!" Fan Chengxu didn't dare to delay, he couldn't let something happen to Chu Lan with him.

"No need. It's nothing serious. I've already taken the medicine."

The injuries he suffered on the battlefield this time are nothing compared to the injuries he suffered in the last sneak attack.

"But now that the blood is oozing, I'll find someone to re-bandage you."

"The medicine is available, just find someone to take it casually."

Fan Chengxu's head was buzzing: "Your Highness, you are the emperor's precious, your body is so precious, you shouldn't be so casual, if you have something good or bad, how many heads can I bear?"

"You don't need to worry about your head." Chu Lan said.

"Your Highness, now that you are injured, you should rest well and not run around." Fan Chengxu couldn't help but said.

"I don't trust other people in Taizhou Mansion, including those in the barracks." Chu Lan replied.

Fan Chengxu cursed in his heart, if you don’t trust others, don’t hurt me! If I die here, I will not be able to wash myself off even if I jump into the Yellow River!

"Then why didn't His Highness tell Mr. Xu just now? He is your savior, you should trust him, and he has excellent medical skills, you should let him look at this injury for you!"

Fan Chengxu wanted to order someone to chase after Wei Ruo who had just left, but was stopped by Chu Lan.

"I don't want to owe him any more." Chu Lan said.

"Didn't you give him money? He is the same as me, if you give money, it is not considered owed!" Fan Chengxu said.

"He is still different from you."

Fan Chengxu didn't know how to answer for a while, but Chu Lan insisted that he couldn't help it.

It was dusk when Wei Ruo changed back to his daughter's outfit and returned to Xiaowei's mansion. The servants in the mansion were busy busy with something.

"What's going on?" Wei Ruo grabbed a maid who was trotting towards Cangyun Garden and asked about the situation.
