Chapter 161 The roast chicken business is booming
The emperor hadn't eaten the greens, but he did eat other things. Even the emperor secretly went out of the palace to eat, it should be delicious. But it's likely that it's also to support the little princess.
He is also very curious, this year the weather is cold early, there are fewer and fewer diverse vegetables, and he doesn't know where this comes from, generally speaking, the ones shipped from the south should not be so fresh, and even if it is the south, there are not so many varieties.
As soon as he entered, he heard the shopkeeper shouting, "Gluttonous roast chicken."
He naturally looked at the most eye-catching painting on the first floor, and saw that it was a roast chicken, and what was more conspicuous than the roast chicken was the familiar cursive script.
But the first two words seem to add some material, golden, more dazzling than the word roast chicken, so it is not impossible to say that it is gluttonous, after all, it can be said that it is cursive, very personal cursive.
"The font of this cursive script is somewhat familiar, it seems to be from the official family." An official said.
"Yes, I'll take a look, I'm not sure, Xu Xiang, what do you say?"
Of course it is, he can't help but admit it, it is indeed the emperor's Mobao.
Song Chen was very surprised, yesterday's famous dish was announced today, if this is the emperor's Mobao, then the emperor was also there yesterday? A thunderclap sounded in his heart.
Xu Xiang thought of what Su Yanshang had done, and knew that he had been used again, he suddenly wanted to turn around and leave, Feng Bixiu walked in, he also received a gift from Su Yanshang yesterday, and he was also curious about those green vegetables, so he came over, but he didn't expect to meet a few colleagues.
He also saw the ink treasure, and when he saw that everyone was discussing, he leaned in: "It is the emperor's ink treasure, it seems that the emperor is very satisfied with this dish. Little Er, give me a plate."
Hearing this, everyone was surprised. It was just a small-scale discussion among officials, but now everyone has heard it.
"What did he just say? Is that the Holy Mobao? So the emperor came up yesterday? It can't be, right?"
Thinking that if the emperor had come yesterday, they would have eaten in the same restaurant as the most noble person in Anguo, which is incredible!
"yes, wasn't it the Kuancheng who came to provoke yesterday? No wonder the arrogant woman was arrested and taken to Jingzhao Mansion without saying a word, it turned out that the emperor was there."
"Who saw where the emperor was yesterday?"
"Is the emperor something you can see if you want? If the emperor comes, it will naturally be in the box upstairs, how can you see it?"
"You say that as if you could see it."
"I can't see it, but I can eat the roast chicken that the emperor has eaten."
"As if I can't eat it, boss, get three roast chickens." I tell you with my actions that not only can I eat, but I can also eat a lot.
Hearing this voice, everyone thought about the dish, and they all ordered this roast chicken that the emperor likes to eat. Some people wanted to order ten, but Su Yanshang had to limit the purchase, and in the end she could only get one per table.
She knew that the emperor's royal pen naming the roast chicken would definitely cause a surge in demand from guests, so she had made preparations yesterday and made three times the amount of roast chicken yesterday, but it was still not enough.
The emperor's propaganda effect is simply too good, she has to find a way to get it a few more times.
Xu Xiang was happy in his heart, and he was looking forward to seeing the emperor know the truth.
Seeing that Xu Xiang wanted to leave, Su Yanshang hurriedly said, "Welcome to Xu Xiang, how about the vegetables that Xu Xiang ate yesterday?"
"Look, what makes everyone famous today is a green dish, yesterday Xu Xiang has helped everyone try the dish, and it is officially launched today, please try it."
"Hey, I look at this painting, it looks like a water spinach, can you still have this dish this season?" He wasn't sure it was water spinach, painted like it, but it didn't seem to be from this season.
"It's a water spinach, this lord is so discerning."
"Why is there still water spinach now?"
Everyone present was discussing, and they really didn't believe it, everyone ordered a copy.
What should Xu Chunneng do? Take people softly, whoever received the vegetables yesterday, he has to change the door.
Song Chen personally went downstairs and invited Xu Chun to the private room he opened, Xu Chun listened to the other party tell the other party about what happened to Dai Jiao yesterday, and I really have to say that this is called Dai Jiao's kicking of the iron plate, who is not good, I have to provoke the emperor's favorite little princess.
In fact, the little princess is a very friendly person, it is rare that there is no princess disease, she is still a piano idiot, it is best to coax her, but she has to provoke her, it is really self-inflicted.
Of course, Xu Xiang knew that this restaurant was opened by Princess Jingyang and Su Yansheng together, but he didn't tell Song Chen what he meant, but just said, "Master Song doesn't have to worry about it too much, the quarrel between young people will be released in a few days, and he won't suffer in prison."
Song Chen tugged at the corners of his mouth, of course he knew that Dai Jiao would not suffer in prison, after all, he was from Kuancheng, and Kuancheng still had some face in various countries.
But he just didn't want her to be locked up, if he could put up with her for a few days, why did he come to Xu Xiang? I just want her to come out immediately, and if she is locked up for a few days, the face of this wide city will be closed.
"Xu Xiang, can you be more tolerant and tolerant, the first time my sister came to Anguo, she was not familiar with Anguo's etiquette, so there was such a misunderstanding."
Xu Xiang said curiously: "What does Gongzi Song mean that the etiquette of your Kuancheng is that it is full of guests, and you must give it to this person called Dai Jiao at any time?"
Song Chen was speechless, he said too much, why did he say this, Dai Jiao is indeed like this in Kuancheng, and she doesn't need to do it, as long as she sees her, those people will automatically give up their seats, and they can't wait for her to sit in the place they gave up.
It seems that Xu Xiang is also very difficult to speak!
"Nian is a first-time offender—"
"This first offense is a good time to correct it, if she has a second chance to make a mistake, there will be a third or fourth ......."
"You don't teach well at home, but when you go out, naturally there are people from outside to help you teach!"
He Xu Chun is not a saint, he is still an official of Anguo, so he naturally puts the interests of Anguo first, does he still want to be unpunished for beating the princess of Anguo?
"Yes, yes, the prime minister said yes. Dare to ask who the sister offended?"
According to Song Chen's thoughts, the owner of the nameless building is also a certain official, and it is likely to be Zhang Gelao, and the young lady is the younger generation of his family.
It is said that the princesses of Anguo never leave the palace, where could he have thought that the nameless building would be opened by the princess?
"As long as Miss Dai can apologize properly, everything is easy to say, and the matter of the agreement is not a problem."
Song Chen was shocked, could it be so serious that the agreement would be involved? He sighed, it seems that it is not possible to find Xu Xiang, what about going to find Zhang Ge Lao? Song Chen dispelled this thought, Zhang Ge Lao should be angry at this time.
Thinking of the purpose of his visit this time, Song Chen's eyes deepened.
Kuancheng and Anguo sign a grain and ore exchange agreement every year, Kuancheng has few people and a shortage of food, but it is the mines that surround Kuancheng, many mines in Anguo are transported from Kuancheng, and Anguo also provides Kuancheng with a lot of grain, not that Dai Jiao's imagination of Kuancheng has nothing to ask for Anguo.
Ironically, this agreement was signed by Dai Jiao's father on behalf of Kuancheng and An Guo last year, and this year I wanted to tilt the conditions, but Dai Jiao did such a thing, I am afraid it will take a lot of effort to equalize last year's amount.
Song Chen had no other way but to watch Dai Jiao being imprisoned for three days. It's not that I'm worried that Dai Jiao can't stand it, but she has already told everyone that she is from Kuancheng, and if she keeps a low profile and doesn't let people know her identity, he will keep her locked up for a few days.
A Kuancheng person was imprisoned as soon as he came to Anguo, what face do they have in Kuancheng to deal with these big countries, isn't Anguo clearly not giving them face, and other countries will follow suit, and Yu Kuancheng is extremely unfavorable.
In addition to this agreement, there are many other entanglements of interests.
"Then let her stay in prison, and let her reflect on herself."
Xu Xiang smiled: "Don't worry, we are a state of etiquette, and we have established a newer and better etiquette system on the basis of Zhou Li, Ling Mei is not a big girl who does great evil, and she will not suffer in the prison cell of Jingzhao Mansion."
This is to ridicule Dai Jiao, a person from a wide city family, who is rude, and this can be the case in other countries
Arrogant.
What else can Song Chen do, although he is angry, he has to thank others for treating him politely.
When Xu Xiang returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he saw that Qi Yuncang was already waiting for him in the flower hall of his house.
"Come to my study."
"The younger generation checked the mine in the ghost cave, and it is indeed iron ore, and the reserves are not small."
"There is an iron mine so close to the capital, and the imperial court doesn't even know about it."
"The ghost cave has a natural barrier, and the road to that side seems to be a dead end, no one thought that there was something inside, and they invited people with good formation skills to set up the formation, so it is not easy to enter by mistake."
"This time, thanks to Qi Shizi, the Shizi has attained the formation skills, and he can enter and find out the truth freely."
"Has the prince found the place where the weapons were made?"
"This is also a strange place for the younger generation, but they didn't find it. Or maybe the place is too big for the younger generations to find out."
Because of the formation, there are not many people he can bring in, and it is not impossible that he will not find it in a short time.
Now they already know that there are more than a family of people who mine iron ore privately, and that they mine iron ore to make weapons and sell it to other countries to make money, and it is certainly impossible to sell it on their own land.
"Since we have such a large reserve of iron ore, we don't need to sign an exchange agreement with Kuancheng at all, so is it possible that this matter has something to do with Kuancheng?"
"Xu Xiang is saying that they exchanged our iron for our food?"
If it's true, it's infuriating to think about!
This year's contract must not be signed.
This is not Qi Yuncang's concern.
Dai Jiao stayed in the prison cell of Jingzhao Mansion for three days, and finally returned to the hotel arranged by Song Chen. Because Feng Jiaxian has always been separated from her, Feng Jiaxian has no way to tell her that the person she beat that day was Princess Jingyang.
After coming out, every time Feng Jiaxian wanted to talk to Dai Jiao, the other party glared at her fiercely, she blamed An Guo for imprisoning her, and turned her anger on Feng Jiaxian, who grew up in An Guo.
"Cousin, why did you do that day? Why do you want me to apologize?"
"Pack up your things and go back to Kuancheng tomorrow!"
"I just came, and I don't want to go back so soon." Before, she couldn't look down on An Guo and wanted to find Su Yanshang and leave, but now, she still wants to stay a few more days, one reason is that Song Chen is here, and the other is that someone provoked her and lost her face, and she hasn't got it back.
Song Chen knew that this sister's urine was capricious and unreasonable, and she wouldn't go back if she didn't let her know the seriousness of the matter, he said: "The identity of the owner behind the nameless restaurant is not simple, don't go there again, don't mess with others, be careful of getting into trouble, although you have a noble status in Kuancheng, but this is Anguo."
