Chapter 400 Reward
Chapter 400 Reward
Everyone became curious when they heard this, except the Taoist priest, who looked indifferent. It seemed that he already knew what was in the box.
Yunhua took out two large boxes from a pile of luggage and placed them on the table.
The others gathered around upon seeing this, becoming even more curious about what was in the two boxes.
Lu Chuan asked anxiously, "What on earth is in this? Why is it so mysterious?"
Upon hearing this, Yunhua opened the box with a proud look on his face, and everyone was instantly dazzled by what was inside the box.
Inside the box were twenty fifty-tael pieces of gold neatly stacked together, with ten neatly stacked together in one box.
Xu Han asked in confusion, "Gold? How can there be so much gold?"
Yunhua said to Xu Han, "This is your gold."
Xu Han was even more confused when he saw this. "My gold, how come I don't know when I have so much gold?"
Yunhua explained, "Hahaha, this was a reward from the Emperor. This spring, didn't my master ask you for the composting method? My master asked me to help pass this method to the current emperor. This was a reward from the emperor after he conducted experiments."
After Yunhua's reminder, Xu Han remembered that when the compost was successfully made, the Taoist priest asked Xu Han about the method of making compost, and it seemed that he said he would hand it over to the court.
Xu Han thought that this was a good thing that would benefit both the country and the people, so he gave the prescription very readily. Later, Xu Han also thought that the court would give some rewards, but he never received any news from the Taoist priest. As time went by, he slowly forgot about the matter.
"Is this the reward from the compost recipe? It's been a long time, and I've completely forgotten about it."
The Taoist priest interrupted and said, "When you handed over the recipe, I guessed that you definitely didn't want people to know that it was your idea, so I took the initiative to let Yunhua hand it over in my name.
The reason is very simple, I discovered it by chance while traveling abroad.”
Xu Han smiled and said, "The Taoist priest is really thoughtful."
Xu Han really didn't want to have anything to do with the court and the royal family, but the people who benefited from the composting method were the common people, so Xu Han did not refuse, but chose to spread the composting method.
Yunhua explained, "Originally, the current emperor gave me some gold, silver, jewelry, and a farm, but I thought that the farm is so far away from here, and you would definitely not be able to take care of it. So I dared to say something, and then the emperor readily exchanged it for this 1,000 taels of gold."
The Taoist priest looked at Yunhua with dissatisfaction and said, "You are too bold. It seems that you have not suffered enough losses and still have not learned your lesson."
Yunhua chuckled and said, "I only dared to mention it because His Majesty was in a good mood. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to say it."
"Your Majesty did not ask too much about who provided the composting method."
"No, no, I just said that you gave it to me. I don't know anything else."
Lu Chuan and Xu Han breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but the Taoist priest has always attached great importance to Xu Han. Since he dared to teach the composting method to the court, he must have a way to handle these things, otherwise the Taoist priest would not dare to take the risk.
Grandpa Zhao said, "Okay, okay, there's so much money all of a sudden, this is a good thing, put it away quickly."
So Xu Han became happy again. One thousand taels of gold could be converted into ten thousand taels of silver. This amount of money was enough to buy a lot of good farmland for the children.
It was so easy to get these ten thousand taels of silver. It was much faster than earning money by yourself through hard work.
Hahaha, this thigh is big enough, he can easily be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver, but Xu Han also knows very well in his heart that this thigh cannot be hugged.
As the saying goes, serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Xu Han had no intention of squeezing into the circle of the royal family, and she didn't want to stand out too much and attract attention.
Xu Han only hopes that her little family will be safe and sound and not be involved in too many disputes.
Although she had her current life based on standing on the shoulders of giants, Xu Han was also very clear that this was an era where imperial power was supreme.
Even if it wasn't the imperial power, those aristocratic families alone were not people he could afford to offend. He didn't have a particularly strong backing, and he didn't want to be a victim of their power struggle.
Of course, Xu Han doesn’t have the same great ideas as those time-traveling girls, and it is even more impossible for her to seek attention mindlessly. The imperial power cannot be challenged casually, and she still wants to live a few more years.
After Xu Han put the gold into the space, the Taoist priest and others were already opening the other gifts that Yunhua brought back.
There were cloth, jewelry, delicacies, some new things, toys for children, and some pens, ink, paper and inkstone.
Lu Chuan smiled and held the paper and said, "Hahaha, Mu'er, look, a few days ago you said that you didn't have much ink and paper at home. Look, your uncle is here to restock it for you."
Hearing this, Mu'er smiled crisply and said, "Thank you, Uncle Master. Uncle Master is the best."
Yunhua was happy to hear that. He turned around, picked up Mu'er and threw her up again, making Mu'er giggle.
Ze'er, who was standing by, was filled with envy. Although he didn't know Yunhua, he saw that everyone was very friendly to him and had no hostility, so he also bravely pulled up Yunhua's trouser leg.
"Hahaha, Ze'er also wants Uncle Master to play with you, right?"
Ze'er was babbling something that no one could understand, with one hand still tightly holding onto Yunhua's waistband.
Several people found it very funny. After Yunhua picked up Ze'er, Ze'er smiled with satisfaction.
"Hahaha, let's ignore them. Let's quickly move all these things into the warehouse. It's not appropriate to leave them all here."
Everyone took action immediately after hearing this. After putting away the things that Yunhua brought back, Xu Han went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Yunhua and Lu Chuan had just finished eating noodles not long ago, so they were definitely not hungry for the time being, so Xu Han didn't cook much for dinner today, just four simple dishes.
Two meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes, and a large bowl of meat soup.
During dinner, Lu Chuan was very attentive and served Yun Hua some food. "Eat more. You've lost weight. Have a chicken drumstick to replenish your body."
Yunhua was confused by Lu Chuan's enthusiasm. She was so scared that she didn't dare to pick up her chopsticks. Why did she feel that today's food was poisonous?
"What are you standing there for? Eat quickly! The table is filled with your favorite dishes. Don't be polite. Eat whatever you want."
Yun Hua tried to hold back, but couldn't help asking directly, "Just say whatever you want to say. Don't be like this. I'm scared."
Grandpa Zhao said as he ate, "Hahahaha, eat it with confidence, it's not poisonous."
