Something went wrong with the fruit offering at the birthday banquet

"There's something wrong with a batch of fruit offerings from the south, and I have to deal with it." Gu Shuo just entered Kyoto City, and when he heard about this, he went straight to the palace gate.

"Isn't it just a batch of fruits that is worth your panic?"

"Our Beili is rich in fruits. The fruits we offer are for the emperor to taste during his birthday banquet. If something goes wrong, the emperor will be furious."

"There are a lot of fruits in Kyoto City. Our Gu family has several fruit shops. If it doesn't work, just buy them from our store." Mr. Gu also felt sorry for his grandson, but he was angry when he thought that he was not starting the Gu family's business now: "My own business is so How many years have Huangshang been established? You don’t understand all the twists and turns, and if you insist on taking over Huangshang, all your good brains will be wasted."

"The fruits in Yuzhou are the best in the world, and nothing else can replace them. The birthday party is still in January, so I have already made arrangements to go to Yuzhou myself." Gu Shuo has been extremely busy these past two days.

"Are you going to Yuzhou?" Mr. Gu's eyes widened.

"Well, we'll leave the day after tomorrow."

"The recent disasters in the south have been so serious. All the bridges have been washed away. The floods have not receded. Are you going to die?" Mr. Gu was very angry. Even his Gu family's caravan was washed away by the floods in the south, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

He actually had to go to Yuzhou through a flooded area for an imperial merchant?

"I have planned it. The flood range is about a few hundred miles. The farther downstream, the smaller the impact of the flood. Bridges hundreds of miles away should not be washed away. Yesterday, I also found some escorts with excellent water skills to go with me. ." Gu Shuo has planned the route in two days.

"You are not allowed to go. The south is very unsafe. If the emperor is to blame, at worst you will stop working as an imperial merchant and come back to our Gu family." Mr. Gu valued this grandson the most and loved him the most.

"Grandpa, it's okay."

"It's okay. You're just not allowed to go. Tomorrow you'll go back home with me and I'll see who dares to say anything." Mr. Gu has been away from Kyoto for some time.

The big family is very scheming and does a lot of shady things behind the scenes, but he never expected that his uncle would force his nephew to quit the clan.

"Grandpa." Gu Shuo sighed.

"The Gu family still has some stockpiles. The fruits for the emperor's birthday banquet are temporarily taken from the Gu family's shop for emergencies."

"Grandpa, the quality of the products in our shop is very different from that in Yuzhou." Although there are many fruits in other areas, they are not as abundant as Yuzhou and cannot be compared.

"It would be great if we can make up for it, but we are still picky. If the emperor has the ability, he can send someone to have a look." Mr. Gu also knew that Yuzhou was famous for its rich fruit, but he couldn't get over it.

Mr. Gu blew his beard angrily, not noticing that his eldest grandson was eyeing the big apple in his hand.

"Grandpa, does this apple belong to our Gu family?" Gu Shuo reached out and picked up the apple. He had been exposed to business since he was a child, and everything that caught his eye was carefully selected and the best.

But the size, color, and smell of the apple in front of him were better than any apple he had ever seen, and even several times better than the ones in Yuzhou.

Where is it abundant?

"no."

"Where did you get them?" If there was such a batch of fruits in Kyoto, why go to Yuzhou?

"The little girl gave it to me."

"Little fat man?" Gu Shuo was surprised.

"Well, brat, you don't know, but the little girl is so kind to me now. She secretly took two fruits from the palace and didn't forget to give me one. I really didn't wait half a night in vain." Elder Gu was not angry anymore when he mentioned apples. , and my mood improved.

"Get it from the palace?"

"Get it for me secretly." Mr. Gu said proudly.
