Although it is no secret that Mai Mi can make flour in Yingdu, you want ordinary people to go out and work hard for days as if they were working hard for a few days, just to eat a meal of pasta?

Please, it's only March, and there is still more than half a year before the New Year's sacrifice in October!

Flour is a food that should be used to worship ancestors, and in ordinary times, it is better to exchange wheat for corn to eat!

In many corners of Yingdu, there is talk about the stupidity of the people who bought Maimi.

The flour made of wheat and rice is not affordable for ordinary people or well-off families, and how many nobles can eat flour in the entire Chu State, buying wheat at the price of corn is either stupid or stupid.

Of course, Lou Su, as the minister of Wei, had already discovered that the king of Chu was pushing behind the price of wheat and rice when the price rose to thirty yuan, was the king of Chu stupid? Or is the entire Chu country stupid?

Lou Yu disagreed, believing that there was a shady scene behind this.

It's just that for a while, I couldn't figure out what the reason for Chu Guo to do this was, so I could only write down the situation in Yingdu one by one, and then send it back to Daliang, so that King Wei would have a headache.

Two days later.

When the sun rises lazily in the east, the whole city is in a state of festivities.

Unlike before, every family in the city held a wedding, this time it was only the wedding of the prince of Chu.

Dusk is the official time for the wedding.

Throughout the wedding, Xiong Huai was absent-minded.

In the midst of the staggering, Xiong Huai soon got drunk.

"The king is drunk, and the princes are free." Nanhou, who had been staying by the side of the King of Chu, saw that the King of Chu was in a trance, and immediately stopped the minister's toast.

With the departure of King Chu and Queen Chu, the atmosphere at the scene became more enthusiastic.

Back in the room, Nanhou instructed the maid, "Go and prepare a bowl of decanting soup immediately." ”

"The King... The King..." Nanhou walked to the side of the bed, called softly a few times, and saw that the king of Chu was still drunk and hazy, so he couldn't help but sigh softly, and his thoughts couldn't help but drift to a long time ago.

In the past, before Zheng Sleeve entered the palace, the King of Chu would come to him every time he was drunk, but after Zheng Sleeve entered the palace, everything changed, and the King of Chu gradually came less, and later, he didn't come.

I thought that the king of Chu had changed, but after expelling Zheng Sleeve, Nanhou confirmed an even more terrible reality, that is, the king of Chu has not changed.

"Queen, the decanting soup has been delivered." Nanhou's maid came to Nanhou's side with a bowl of soup and interrupted Nanhou's self-pity.

Nanhou sighed and said, "Give me the soup, and the palace will come by itself." ”

Half a bowl of soup entered the mouth of the king of Chu, Xiong Huai opened his hazy eyes and saw a beautiful woman with a melancholy face, beautiful and virtuous, graceful and luxurious.

"Queen!"

Xiong Huai muttered to himself.

Could it be that the queen is worried about herself!

Xiong Huai felt that his heart was about to melt, he had been the king of Chu for so long, and in the harem, only Wei Meiren in his memory could overpower Nanhou, and others, compared with Nanhou, could only be said to be young and gorgeous.

But in everyone else, Xiong Huai never felt this kind of real concern.

Maybe the only one who is really worried about himself is Nanhou.

At this time, a sentence popped up inexplicably in Xiong Huai's mind, the beauty of the concubine is afraid of me, and the beauty of the wife is that of me.

This sentence is summed up very incisively, the inequality of status, it is difficult to produce true love, if it is in the future generations, thinking of this, Xiong Huai shook his head and sighed secretly, it is still good in this era...

Hearing the voice of the King of Chu, Nanhou was stunned and said happily: "King, you are awake." ”

Looking at Nanhou's smile, Xiong Huai's heart was warm, and he couldn't help but stretch out a hand, caressing Nanhou's smiling face, and said, "Queen, you are still as beautiful as before, especially when you laugh, it's so beautiful!" ”

Nanhou said angrily: "The king should go and tell the beauties about these oily tones, I am already old, and my beauty is no longer good." ”

Xiong Huai pulled Nanhou into his arms and said, "Who said that the queen is old, in the eyes of the widow, the queen is still as beautiful as when she was newly married." ”

Nanhou asked unconfidently, "Really?" King! ”

A smile appeared at the corner of Xiong Huai's mouth, and said, "Of course it's true, the widow will prove it to you..."

On the second day, Xiong Huai got up early in the morning, and suddenly felt refreshed, the depression of yesterday's prince's wedding was swept away, and now when I think of the prince, I suddenly pleasing a lot of eyes...

Walking out of the palace in the south, Xiong Huai asked Li Qiu: "Si Gong, how was yesterday's banquet, and the books arranged by the widow were given to the ministers?" ”

Li Qiu smiled and said: "Congratulations to the king, yesterday's banquet, the ministers were very satisfied, according to the Taiguan's report, the amount of noodles consumed at yesterday's banquet was second only to the steamed food, and it has exceeded the barbecue." ”

"And the king prepared a secret recipe for flour for his ministers, and before the ministers left, they all asked for a copy, and they were ready to go back and make it themselves."

Xiong Huai was overjoyed when he heard this, as long as these secret recipes were circulated, it would be difficult for flour not to be promoted.

Of course, it is not enough to promote this in the Chu State, and then when the Four Nations Alliance is in place, it is necessary to make persistent efforts to promote flour to all countries.

Xiong Huai seems to have seen that in the near future, wheat rice is about to beat grain other than rice and become the mainstream of the aristocratic table.

Thinking of this, Xiong Huai said to Li Qiu: "Let the Taiguan pass the meal, today the widow is happy, let the Taiguan send two bowls of noodles." ”

Li Qiu said happily when he heard this: "Only." ”

Maybe it's because people are in good spirits on happy occasions, Xiong Huai ate two bowls of noodles in a row, and still felt unsatisfied, and when he was about to ask the Taiguan to send the third bowl, Li Qiu came over and saluted: "King, Ling Yin asks to see." ”

In the main hall, Xiong Huai asked, "Ling Yin, I don't know what is important, I came to see the widow so early." ”

Jing Li replied: "Great king, the prince is the foundation of the country, and now that the prince has been married, it is time to choose a great sage for the prince to assist the prince." ”

Xiong Huai was stunned, Jing Li's meaning, after the prince's wedding, he can participate in the government, as for the choice of Daxian to assist, this is to cultivate the prince's wings.

Glancing at Jing Carp with irritability in his heart, Xiong Huai gave birth to an illusion, obviously he still has infinite energy, but he doesn't know if this is an illusion, Jing Carp seems to be reminding the widow in Chiguoguo, that is, the widow is old, and it is time to think about the future.

Although I was reluctant, it was also imperative.

"I don't know if Ling Yin can have a candidate?" Xiong Huai asked.

"The king, the minister thinks that Sikong Zhaoyu can do it." Jing Carp has been prepared for a long time.

Zhaoyu?

Xiong Huai shook his head, the prince's marriage was proposed by Jing Li himself, Jing Li was already considered a party of the prince, if Zhaoyu was added, then the prince would have the support of the Jing Zhao family.

Xiong Huai remembered what happened to King Chu Cheng and refused: "Sikong is old, and there are other important things, this matter is not appropriate." ”
