My delicate husband

Lan Euan got up earlier than usual the next day. After he washed up, Zhang Xiaomo was still not fully awake.

"Brother Xiaomo, I'm going to the market to sell tomatoes. You should get some more sleep."

"An An, you have to come back early."

Lan An came to the hall, Guo Ge'er and Xue Ge'er were already waiting there. Brother Man had taken Aunt Li and Brother Han back to the village. The tomatoes were too heavy, so Lan An asked Bai Lu to rent an ox cart.

With the help of the servants at home, all the tomatoes were finally loaded onto the ox cart.

"Anger, the last time I went to the market was to sell boxed lunches. It's been several months."

Guo Ge'er was very happy because he loved doing business, but Xue Ge'er was still rather reserved.

Lan Euan rented a stall with ease and placed tomatoes on the stall with the help of the driver. This time he only spent 15 cents to rent a nice stall.

The morning market was bustling with people. Lan Euan's stall had already attracted quite a few people, including many of his regular customers who had previously sold boxed lunches there.

"Little boss, what are you selling? It's bright red?"

"That's right, we've been thinking about when the boss will come back to sell lunch boxes."

Lan Euan took out a few smaller tomatoes and gave them to the customers in front of the stall, and briefly introduced how to cook tomatoes.

"My tomatoes are only available in my family. They're ten cents a pound. Buy five pounds and get a free large tomato. Buy ten pounds and get a free pound of tomatoes."

Customers who have tasted it all showed surprise in their eyes. This tomato tastes really good when eaten raw. It is juicy, sour and sweet, and not expensive. Without hesitation, they lined up to buy it immediately.

Lan Eucalyptus let everyone choose freely, he weighed and calculated the money, Guo Ge'er collected the money, and Xue Ge'er helped to pack it in the basket.

These customers were also very supportive. Most of them bought five or ten kilograms, and some bought one or two kilograms just to try it out. In half an hour, more than two kilograms were sold.

"Anger, we've only been selling boxed lunches for over a month, and surprisingly, so many people still remember us."

"Brother Guo, do you think my cooking is delicious?"

“Super delicious.”

"That's right, because it tastes good and has a generous portion, it's economical, delicious and affordable, so how could I not remember it?"

Guo Ge nodded as if he understood, and also thanked the old customers for their promotion. He didn't even need to shout to attract attention for the blue eucalyptus, as there were always many people in front of his stall. Everyone who came would buy something, not to mention five or ten kilograms, at least one or two kilograms would be enough.

After all, tomatoes are a rare thing, and no one has ever seen them, so people are curious about them. Besides, they taste really good.

There are really few types of vegetables in Yunling County, only cabbage, leeks, sunflowers, and celery. It is rare for people to see new and fresh vegetables, and the enthusiasm for buying them is unprecedentedly high.

There were also purchasing managers from wealthy families who came to buy tomatoes, and they were very generous, directly buying twenty or thirty kilograms. Lan An also discovered that there were many rich people in Yunling County.

It took less than three hours to sell all the tomatoes. He didn't take the remaining blue gums home, but distributed them to the surrounding vendors. He planned to sell tomatoes here for the next month, once a week.

There were also people who found out late and didn’t buy it, so they asked Blue Gum to come back in a week.

"Anger, you're amazing. You sold out so quickly."

"Brother Guo, Brother Xue, you two should learn more. From now on, if you two start selling, I won't come here anymore."

The two of them nodded, looking a little excited. Lan An found that except Zhang Xiaomo, he had no interest in the others. After packing up his things, Lan An rented an ox cart and took them back to Brother Xia's courtyard.

The three of them returned to Brother Xia's small courtyard together. Zhang Xiaomo got up and sat alone in the hall reading a book.

Zhang Xiaomo was very happy to see Lan An come back. Lan An walked up to him and hugged him. For some reason, she felt boundless loneliness from him just now.

"An An, they're all sold out, that's great."

"Brother Xiaomo, look at this box. It's all the money I made from selling tomatoes today. From now on, just stay home and count the money. I'll make money to support you."

Lan An is not so keen on making money now, but he loves to count money with Zhang Xiaomo. Although he can roughly know the amount, he is happy to do every little thing with Zhang Xiaomo.

The total amount sold was six taels and 435 wen. Lan An gave all the money to Zhang Xiaomo as his pocket money.

At noon, Lan'an began to prepare lunch. As usual, there was red dates and longan chicken soup. Lan'an made braised fish and stir-fried pork liver, which was tender, smooth and spicy. The staple food was red bean porridge and brown sugar steamed buns, and finally scrambled eggs with tomatoes. In addition, Lan'an also stewed roe deer meat. Fortunately, the space was kept fresh, and there was still some bear meat, roe deer meat, and wild boar meat in it. They were almost all eaten up.

After dinner, Lan An accompanied Zhang Xiaomo for a walk in the yard, while Guo Ge'er and Xue Ge'er were teasing Xiao Hui. Xiao Hui had grown a lot and was not as chubby as before, but his eyes had not changed, still round and moist, and a little cute.

Lan An had not expected Wu County Magistrate's visit, but Wu County Magistrate was not surprised at all, but his face was a little anxious. The three of them looked at each other awkwardly, and finally Bai Lu spoke.

"Master An, Master Mo is also tired. Why don't you go sit in the hall for a while? Master Wu just needs to talk to Master An about something."

Lan An did not refute and helped Zhang Xiaomo into the hall. As soon as they sat down, County Magistrate Wu spoke directly.

"Angel, did you successfully grow tomatoes?"

"Yes, I tried it. As long as the irrigation is good, any wasteland can be cultivated."

"How many vegetable seedlings can you provide? Can you plant them on a large scale?"

"If you want to grow on a large scale, you need to consider not the seeds, but sales and transportation. Tomatoes are easily damaged and not suitable for long-distance transportation. They also don't last long, only about ten days."

Lan An did not hide the fact that he did not like County Magistrate Wu very much, but for the sake of Brother Xia, he treated him as a friend for the time being and was just unwilling to have any contact with him.

Lan An thought that he had explained everything clearly and that County Magistrate Wu should leave, but he didn't. Seeing that Zhang Xiaomo was a little sleepy, Lan An was a little impatient, but he didn't dare to ask him to leave directly.

It was also the first time that Lan An took a serious look at Magistrate Wu. He was tall and thin, with a cold appearance. His coldness was different from Zhang Xiaomo's. His was the kind of coldness of a proud young man from a noble family, with the temperament of a scholar. He had deep and narrow eyes, and he looked at you with indifference. Although he was wearing an ordinary robe, he had an extraordinary temperament.

Lan Euan looked at Zhang Xiaomo again. His cat was still the prettiest. Zhang Xiaomo's coldness was more of aloof from the world, a kind of coldness that could be admired from afar but not touched. However, he pulled him into the mortal world.

"Anger, have you seen Runzhi recently?"

"Who is Runzhi? Brother Xia."

"Yes, I want to find him."

"It's been about a month since we last met. The last time we met, he asked me for help."

"Can you tell me what's going on? He and I are old friends and we have a very good relationship. I won't harm him, but he's never been out of contact with me for so long, and I'm a little worried."

"It's not a big deal. You asked me to help him hunt a tiger."

"The last time you met, was he the one asking you to get the tiger?"

"Yes. He left in a hurry, saying he didn't want to delay the nobleman's birthday."

"Okay, I get it. Sorry to bother you."

Brother Wu left in a daze. Lan An didn't think too much about it. He wanted to coax Zhang Xiaomo to sleep.

When County Magistrate Wu walked out of Brother Xia's yard, he felt cold all over. Although the May sun was already a little hot, he could not feel any warmth.

He seemed to know what Manager Xia was doing, although he had always been unwilling to admit it. Did he give up? But he had overcome all the difficulties, so why should he give up now?

County Magistrate Wu returned to the county government office in a daze. He went to see Lan An today to ask him about his elder brother Xia, but he was quite grateful to Lan An now. He could think carefully about the tomato problem and how to develop the economy of Yunling County. If they could only achieve peace and prosperity, they would still have a chance. So he had to hurry up.

Brother Wu finally decided to take the constable to Lianhua Village. He wanted to see again what was planted in the blue eucalyptus wasteland. He was sure that making friends with blue eucalyptus could break the situation that had existed for many years. He and Runzhi were not young anymore, and there were some things that they could not avoid.

Brother Xia hated the capital. He sat on the low wall of the palace, next to Prime Minister Wu's residence. It was an accident that he met Yan Chu.

As Brother Xia drank, the man's cold face kept appearing in his mind. He wondered what he was doing now. Alas, he probably wouldn't even have the right to miss him in the future.

Tomorrow I have to go boating with Xiao Rongwan. That’s a place Yan Chu has always wanted to go.

County Magistrate Wu arrived at Lianhua Village, and Village Chief Zhang was waiting humbly and reverently on the side. Some of the things grown on the blue eucalyptus were new to County Magistrate Wu, and he didn't recognize them even when he saw them.

There was no other way but to call Brother Xu to question him. The village chief was also very envious. He was jealous of the opportunity to show off in front of the county magistrate.

Brother Xu explained it to County Magistrate Wu. After all, Brother Wu didn't understand it either, so he had to ask Lan Euan. After seeing what was planted on the wasteland in Lianhua Village, Brother Wu had a rough idea in his mind.

Lan An was still sleeping in Zhang Xiaomo's arms, not knowing that County Magistrate Wu was completely obsessed with him.
