Chapter 685: Undertaking the Autumn Hunt



Chapter 685: Undertaking the Autumn Hunt

The yellow-haired man nodded and said, "Yes, Miss."

Huang Mao was absolutely loyal to Bai Wanwan. He looked at Miao He and said, "Good boy, you're doing pretty well now!"

Miaohe is Huangdou, Huangmao's sister.

Miao He smiled and said, "Brother, you may not be able to beat me now. I am very powerful now."

Huang Mao laughed heartily and said, "Study your Kung Fu well and follow the young lady. I'm leaving now."

Miao He nodded and said, "I know!"

Bai Wanwan felt irritated and bored when she had some free time. It was obvious that Su Daji was targeting her manor. For the next few months, the manor had no business at all.

On the other hand, the nearby Qionglin Villa was flourishing. Zhiwei came back so angry that her face changed. "Miss, they checked it out. The decoration style inside is exactly the same as ours. It's totally shameless."

Bai Wanwan ate grapes and strawberries and said:

"Why rush? Our orchards and greenhouse vegetables and fruits also need time. It's difficult to draw the bones of a tiger even if you can only draw its skin.

All we have to do is do our own thing well, and besides, our farm is not really without any income."

This farm looks like a place for people to enjoy, but large tracts of land have been carefully planned into fields, filled with various vegetables and fruits.

Just like that peach, it looks no different from ordinary peaches, but tastes very sweet. It is a good variety specially introduced.

Bai Wanwan also specially developed a method for growing peaches.

These peaches are selling very well now. Jiang Mingshu walked in and said, "Master, our peaches are selling like hotcakes. We've sold all of them this year and made a total of over 18,000 taels."

Bai Wanwan nodded and said, "Our honey pears are also good and can be sold, as well as those grapes."

"Yes, they are all ready to be sold. I just don't know if the grapes will sell well."

Bai Wanwan looked at her and said:

“These grape varieties are not ordinary, they are all grafted.

For example, those tribute grapes may not be as sweet as our grapes, so they are definitely easier to sell."

Jiang Mingshu smiled and said:

“Come to think of it, the farm across the street also sells peaches, but the peaches there taste really bad, sour and bitter, so no one buys them.

And their restaurant is in a mess. Now many people don't live there anymore and come here.

The autumn hunt is coming soon, and our farm is planning to host it."

The annual autumn hunting in Da Qi has always been a huge expense, with manpower and material resources invested like water.

This year is different. Qi Guangheng said that we should just walk around nearby and take a casual stroll, without making a big scene.

Bai Wanwan nodded slightly and said to Jiang Mingshu:

“If we can undertake this autumn hunt, it will be a good thing for our farm.

You should try your best, but it may not succeed, so you should keep in mind the situation."

Jiang Mingshu responded:

"I thought so too. Let's give it a try first. If it works, it will give the farm a good publicity.

Our hunting grounds here are different from other hunting grounds. We have all kinds of wild animals, and they are all wild."

Bai Wanwan nodded and said, "Okay, let's give it a try!"

Bai Wanwan nodded in agreement:

"That's exactly why we should show off these advantages.

As for whether or not you can finally take over the royal family, just let it happen naturally, there's no need to force it."

The people in charge of autumn hunting in the palace are usually officials from the Yizhiqinglisi under the Ministry of Rites.

The person taking the lead this time is a man named Zhou, who has always been known for his strictness and impartiality. He only considers rules and reality in everything and does not show favoritism.

Lord Zhou checked two other alternative farms in advance: although one was luxurious, the hunting grounds were mostly for captive livestock, lacking the wildness.

Although there are natural forests in the other place, the facilities are crude and everything looks hastily built.

When he arrived at Bai Wanwan's farm, he first walked half a circle along the periphery. He saw that the fences were neatly trimmed and the fruit and vegetable fields along the way were well-planned. It did not look like a place for hunting, but rather had a bit of pastoral interest.

Only when we entered the hunting ground did we notice the difference. The trees were arranged in a proper density, which not only preserved the natural appearance of wild grass and trees, but also vaguely showed traces of path maintenance.

From time to time, wild rabbits and pheasants ran through the woods, and even a few deer were glimpsed in the distance. They were all wild animals with shiny fur, and were definitely not comparable to those raised in captivity.

What is even more rare is that there are several thatched pavilions hidden in the field for people to rest. The materials used are simple but sturdy, and the stone tables and benches in the pavilions are wiped clean.

There is also a simple ceramic pot for drinking water in the corner, which exudes a delicate yet unobtrusive touch.

Manager Zhou looked all the way through, twirled his beard and nodded slightly.

"This farm is quite unique. In terms of wildness, it's as good as a natural hunting ground.

In terms of comprehensiveness, it shows more care than that remote place.

The wild animals in the hunting ground are fresh and the facilities are simple but practical. It not only suits Your Majesty's desire to wander around freely, but also maintains the rules. It is rare, rare.

Do you have a lot of prey in this farm?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw several wild boars rushing down the mountain. The manager of the villa quickly shouted:

"Drive them all into the mountains. They're causing trouble all day long."

The staff in the village took out their swords and drove them away.

The manager quickly clasped his fists and said:

“Sir, we really didn’t do this on purpose, there are plenty of prey in this mountain.

Look over there, they are all pheasants, these are the game we raised specially."

Manager Zhou smiled and nodded. "We'll have to accommodate at least tens of thousands of people this hunt. Can you handle it?"

The manager quickly said, "I'll take you to visit our restaurant, and you can also take a break, have a meal, and inspect it."

The steward led Manager Zhou to the restaurant. The six-story eaves were stacked one upon another, and the green tiles reflected the sunlight, which made the restaurant more spacious and elegant than ordinary pavilions.

As soon as I stepped into the lobby, I felt it was surprisingly spacious.

There are no complicated carvings, the beams and pillars are made of polished logs, and the floor is paved with blue-gray square bricks, which are polished enough to reflect one's reflection. The simplicity exudes a neat and elegant atmosphere.

There is a half-area on the left side of the entrance, with several pearwood couches covered with plain cushions.

Next to it stood a large celadon vat with a few fresh pine branches stuck in it. It was a place for guests to rest and wait, and it was comfortable just looking at it.

The steward smiled and led him to the stairs:

"Master Zhou, please come upstairs. We have specially prepared some fresh game from the hunting grounds.

Come and try our new creations and appreciate our craftsmanship.”

As he said that, he led the person into a private room on the third floor.

The private room is not big, but it is elegantly decorated. There is a round table next to the window. The window faces the dense forest of the hunting ground, and the fragrance of grass and trees can be smelled when the wind blows.

The steward invited everyone to sit down and told the waiter to serve the dishes. Then he smiled and said, "Take your time to enjoy the food. These are all wild game that we just hunted this morning. The chef is also a master chef here."

Manager Zhou looked around the private room and saw that the tables and chairs were clean, the windows were bright and spotless, and he nodded in response:

"We should try it. His Majesty has instructed that the autumn hunt should be simple and satisfying for everyone.

Since I'm here to inspect, I naturally have to look at every aspect carefully."
