When Jiang Jiao and his wife gathered together and finished muttering, Wang Yuanbao, who was interested in making friends, laughed out loud.
Jiang Jiao, the Duke of Chu, looked sideways. Wang Yuanbao raised his glass and raised his glass: "I would like to offer a toast to the Duke. It was the Duke who brought the longevity fruit back from Lingnan."
"It was precisely because of the longevity fruit seeds brought back by the Duke that the Empress planted the longevity fruit with a high oil yield. The Duke helped the Queen do a great thing that benefited the country and the people, and the subordinates admired her. Endless."
"I'd like to give you a drink, sir!"
As expected of the richest man in the capital, he speaks so nicely!
Although Jiang Jiao would not have expected that bringing the longevity fruit from Lingnan to Beijing would go awry, someone finally mentioned that the longevity fruit was brought back to the capital, and Jiang Jiao was very happy.
"Lord Wang, I just did something trivial. It was the Queen who planted the longevity fruit and discovered its many benefits."
Jiang Jiao raised his glass: "I and Mr. Wang hit it off at first sight. Come on, this time I will give you a toast to Mr. Wang."
It turns out that the Duke of Chu, who was deeply relied upon by the emperor after his resurrection, was so amiable?
Wang Yuanbao's stomach turned red after several glasses of wine when he was called brother one by one.
"Brother, I have something from the bottom of my heart."
Pork dishes go well with wine. Wang Yuanbao sighed with satisfaction: "They all say that Xiaguan is the reincarnation of the God of Wealth. They are all wrong. Xiaguan quietly told you that the tenth princess is the reincarnation of the lucky star of wealth."
"If you catch something leaking out of the princess's little head, you will catch good luck and wealth."
Wang Yuanbao talked eloquently: "For example, this pork dish has a lot to do. Pork, which is always despised by the royal family, can be made into all kinds of tricks. It is not only delicious but also eye-catching and exquisite. If you can get these pork If you put the recipes of the dishes and open a restaurant in the capital, you will be able to make a lot of money!"
"Even if you don't open a restaurant and learn how to entertain guests with these dishes, they are all figured out by the current tenth princess. Wouldn't it be very honorable to serve them on the table?"
Jiang Jiao nodded in agreement!
Wang Yuanbao spoke more enthusiastically because of this: "Brother, let me tell you quietly, since the last time I heard Master Lang Liang, the attendant, revealed that the pork dishes in Shangyang Palace were delicious, he also said that the empress and princess grew longevity. Fruit frying oil can produce 40% oil, so I have sent people to Lingnan to find longevity fruit seeds, and I have also quietly sent people around to buy sows and raise them well."
"I dare to conclude that with today's pig-killing feast, there will be many people raising pigs in the coming year, and there will also be many people who will open up wasteland to grow longevity fruits."
Wang Yuanbao was a little proud: "I don't have the ability to be promoted to an official position, but I know that I want to be the first to eat crabs. Wherever the princess blows the wind, I will run hard. Why worry about not having good fortune!"
While Jiang Jiao was tasting the pork dish, he also ate a plate of peanut snacks with his wife. He just saw some clues and felt that after today's palace banquet, the pork dish or longevity fruit will be spread in the capital. How many pigs should be raised in Zhuangzi, and some longevity fruits should be planted on the land in Zhuangzi.
Wang Yuanbao actually took the lead?
"Listening to what I have to say is better than ten years of reading. I am really far-sighted!"
Jiang Jiao became even more enthusiastic towards Wang Yuanbao: "Brother, let's discuss quietly. When the longevity fruit seeds you are looking for are shipped back to the capital, can we buy some from you? There are also Zhuangzili in the Duke's Mansion who want more. Raise some pigs.”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Brother, please keep your voice down. This is a big matter of getting rich. You can't let others listen to you."
Li Sixu, who was helping the prince in directing the dishes, happened to be very close to where Wang Yuanbao and Jiang Jiao were sitting.
Mr. Wang Yuanbao reminded Jiang Jiao to talk more quietly about raising pigs and growing longevity fruits, but it was so loud that she could hear it even from where she was standing. Everyone sitting close to him had already heard it, right?
When he, the richest man in the capital, mentioned how to make money, everyone who was eavesdropping had a look of realization on their faces, and they regretted not being as well-informed as Wang Yuanbao and taking action in advance.
Li Sixu couldn't stop laughing!
This Wang Yuanbao is really a genius!
She guessed that she would use today's palace banquet to spread the Queen's achievements in raising pigs and growing longevity fruits outside the palace, paving the way for the Queen Mother to leave the cold palace.
He has already started to build momentum through the palace banquet!
The dignified richest man in the capital is a living sign. He has even captured the psychology of everyone, whether they are relatives of the royal family or aristocratic families in the capital, who do not like money.
Seeing that Wang Yuanbao and Jiang Jiao were already arm-in-arm with each other, and they looked like brothers who were deeply in love and regretted meeting each other so late, Li Sixu's mouth twitched and she said a few words to the palace maid next to her.
By the time Wang Yuanbao had finished eating the pork dishes, his face was red from drinking and he looked a little tipsy.
The little palace maid whom Li Sixu had previously ordered came to Wang Yuanbao's side and said, "Master Wang, the princess is here to invite you!"
"Brother, the tenth princess has summoned the official. Please leave the table first!"
Wang Yuanbao, who was familiar with Jiang Jiao, patted Jiang Jiao on the shoulder with a proud look when he left.
As soon as he left, Jiang Jiao dusted his shoulders angrily and said angrily: "He is deliberately showing off. He is closer to the tenth princess."
"Why are you so angry? You always serve His Majesty, and you have many opportunities to meet the Tenth Princess."
The Duke's wife patted his hand and comforted him: "The water flows slowly, let's take our time. The ten princesses will always know how good the master is."
"This longevity fruit sesame cake is very sweet and refreshing. Master, try one."
Jiang Jiao cleared his throat: "Madam, you know, your master, I don't like sweets."
"This longevity fruit was grown by me from Lingnan, so I will try it on my behalf."
Jiang Jiao, who loves sweets but is unwilling to admit it, reluctantly said, "Okay, sir, I will only eat one piece."
Jiang Jiao said he only ate one piece of sesame peanut cake. After eating several pieces in a row, Wang Yuanbao was led by the palace maid into the greenhouse where Li Sixu was waiting for him.
When Wang Yuanbao saw Li Sixu, he took out a thick stack of banknotes from his pocket.
Li Sixu took it: "My lord also said that he is not the God of Wealth, so he gave money to Sisi as soon as he came."
"These are what the princess deserves. They are the share from selling fire cloth and opening a bookshop. These ministers thought they were all missing. I have recently collected a lot of novelty things, and I will have them sent to the palace to celebrate the new year for the princess." In addition, some of the newly baked glazed vessels are also sent to the palace, so that during the New Year, the princess can use them to reward and give away to others."
"Sisi likes smart people like you!"
Li Sixu was not polite to him. She put a stack of large-denomination banknotes away, then took out a recipe and stuffed it at him: "What you said at the palace banquet today was successful. You spread the word that the queen is being raised in the cold palace." I’ll leave the matter of pigs and longevity fruit to you.”
"If you want to open a restaurant and decide on these recipes, you can share some of the benefits with me later."
Li Sixu suggested: "It is recommended that you keep some exquisite dishes and leave out some simple recipes, which will be more conducive to the spread of pork dishes among the people. If the price of pork rises, it will be profitable for the people to raise pigs in captivity."
