Sun Miaoqing was not happy that she was so nice to Big Fat Orange. Moreover, he had no palace power and no military power at home, so Big Fat Orange actually beat her like this.
Thanks to her hard work, she made so many toffees, and she was the first to share them with him. Obviously, he did not see the deep meaning of this.
Alas, the four uncles in the TV series and the four uncles in the history books are not the same person after all...
How many years would it take for the sprout of capitalism to develop without the support of the emperor?
Sun Miaoqing asked, "How many toffees have been made?"
Qiangwei and the others have become accustomed to Sun Miaoqing's way of speaking.
Even though she was complaining about the emperor beating her just now, she didn't find it strange that she asked about the unrelated matter of toffee now.
Liuli replied, "The imperial kitchen brought milk here in the morning, and the slave asked for another jar according to the queen's instructions."
"It was cooked on several stoves together. When I came in just now, there was only the last bit left. It must have been done by now."
"My slave estimates that the two large vats of milk weigh about a thousand kilograms in total, and the three pots of maltose weigh about 90 kilograms. Adding in the hawthorn and candied fruit, we should be able to make at least one hundred and thirty kilograms of toffee."
"In order to prevent them from sticking together, each toffee is wrapped in oil paper, which makes it convenient to eat and easy to store."
"My slave has people mark the toffee with different flavors and put them in boxes. Each palace empress and mistress will have a copy."
"But even so, there is still a lot left. Even if it is eaten every day, it can last for several days."
When Liuli first spoke, she was excited, but now she was worried. Obviously he was worried about what to do with so much toffee.
Sun Miaoqing said, "Don't worry, I have my own uses for these things. You may think they are a lot now, but if you sell them, I'm afraid it won't be enough for one day."
Liuli and others said in unison, "Sell it?"
Sun Miaoqing nodded, "Of course, otherwise, would you really eat this every day?"
Linglan said, "But Madam, you are in the harem after all, and I have never heard of any concubines doing business."
Sun Miaoqing said, "Who doesn't have a few dowry shops to earn some money from makeup?"
"After I was selected, my sister-in-law said so. The shop that was originally prepared for me is still mine. They just take care of it for me and send the banknotes to the palace for me every year."
"For convenience, we specially set up two stores in Beijing. One sells silk and satin, and the other sells rouge and gouache."
"Take some milk candies to make samples and send them out with a prescription. The rouge and gouache shop will sell candies from now on."
"The name is..."
Sun Miaoqing thought for a while and then said, "Just call me Little White Rabbit~"
"As for the rest, let the Ministry of Internal Affairs make some beautiful boxes for candies, with rabbit patterns on them. Once they are ready, send them over and I will pick them myself."
"When the time comes, the emperor's relatives, princes and ministers will send a box everywhere, and I don't believe that they will not give you face. Even if you don't like candy, you still have to buy a box."
Sun Miaoqing thought happily, opening up the situation in the upper class first. When the shop is renovated and opened for business, there will be another advertisement that the emperor has promised to eat.
In her lifetime, she will definitely become the richest man in the Qing Dynasty. When the time comes, Big Fat Orange will have to build the road, and he will have to come over to give her an IOU.
She can also drink tea elegantly. As Versailles puts it, she has no interest in money...
Liuli and the others didn't understand this. Seeing Sun Miaoqing smiling so happily, they didn't dare to say anything depressing.
But is it really not a problem to give a portion to every prince and important minister?

When Big Fat Orange returned to Yangxin Hall, Prince Guo had been waiting inside for a long time.
I saw Big Fat Orange walking in with his hands behind his back and his head hanging down, his face looking quite vicissitudes of life. I remembered that the eunuch from Yangxin Hall just said that the emperor went to the concubine Cheng.
Prince Guo couldn't help but become curious. This concubine was not very popular with the emperor, but why was the emperor like this?
"My dear brother, please see your royal brother."
"Get up, you and I, brothers, there is no need to be so polite in private."
"My dear brother, thank you very much for your grace, but the courtesy cannot be discarded."
Big Fat Orange said, "That's all, you can do whatever you want."
Prince Guo stood up and sat across from Big Fat Orange. A chessboard had already been placed on the Kang table between the two of them.
"I haven't had a word with my brother for some days. I miss you so much."
Prince Guo took the chess pieces and placed the chess board while saying, "It's just that the emperor looks like he has something to worry about?"
Big Fat Orange didn't even raise his eyelids and asked calmly, "Did you see it?"
Prince Guo said, "I just saw that the emperor didn't seem to be very interested, so I asked boldly."
Big Fat Orange said helplessly, "Only women and villains are difficult to raise!"
"The women in the harem keep arguing and arguing all day long, and they never let up."
Prince Guo smiled, "But that concubine?"
"My dear brother, I heard someone say that this sincere concubine not only has the appearance of a fish and a wild goose, but also has the appearance of a flower shy of the moon. She is also extremely intelligent, gentle and demure, proficient in poetry and calligraphy, and has the talent of singing catkins."
"That's why I was especially favored by the emperor's brother. Within half a year of entering the palace, he was promoted several times to become the head of the first palace."
"With all due respect, my brother, not only my brother, but also outsiders are very curious about this concubine. I thought I would be lucky enough to meet this concubine at the palace banquet yesterday."
"Seeing what a strange woman she is, I didn't expect that my empress would still be ill. I don't know how many people were disappointed by this."
Big Fat Orange looked at Prince Guo in disbelief, what is all this?
The fish sinks and the wild goose falls, the moon closes and the flowers shy? Are you also smart, gentle and quiet, and have a talent for singing?
Is this talking about a concubine?
How come he doesn't know anything!
