Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

Li Yu felt that her answer was correct, but Emperor Tianyuan did not respond and just looked at her quietly.

She felt inexplicably nervous when being stared at.

Could it be that something he said displeased Emperor Tianyuan?

Just as he was thinking this, Emperor Tianyuan suddenly spoke up, "You said it very well, no wonder Jianing likes you."

Li Yu quickly smiled modestly: "It is my honor to be friends with the princess."

At this time, the grilled sausage and gluten were ready, and she sprinkled the dipping sauce on them and handed them over respectfully.

The eunuch beside Emperor Tianyuan took it first and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late."

Emperor Tianyuan looked at the sky, then nodded calmly: "Go back."

Watching Emperor Tianyuan leave, all the people at the scene breathed a sigh of relief.

Han Xiaomei looked at Li Yu with admiration, "Second sister-in-law, I was so scared that I didn't even dare to breathe. You are so awesome."

Li Yu whispered, "Actually, I was afraid too, but it was more difficult to not speak at that time."

Anyway, she passed this level and achieved her goal, but she didn't know what impression Emperor Tianyuan had of her.

Hope it's good.

On Emperor Tianyuan's side, the Minister of Revenue glanced at the grilled sausage and grilled gluten in the eunuch's hand and asked, "Your Majesty, do you like this?"

Emperor Tianyuan said: "What if you like it, what if you don't like it?"

The Minister of Revenue flattered him: "If you like it, why not let the stall owner come to the palace and cook for you in the future."

Emperor Tianyuan glanced at him and asked, "Is this what you really think?"

"Yes." The Minister of Revenue smiled so well that his eyes narrowed into slits.

Emperor Tianyuan snorted coldly, "Instead of worrying about my food, you should worry about this year's taxes. Huang Aiqing, I let you be the Minister of Revenue to manage money and grain. If you don't want to be in charge, I will let someone else do it someday."

His tone was particularly serious. The Minister of Revenue was shocked and knelt on the ground without saying a word. "I am terrified."

"You are panicking? Not necessarily, otherwise how could you have plotted against me. You also found a kind snack stand. I think the owner of that snack stand is your daughter." When Emperor Tianyuan thought of the snack stand, he felt as if he had eaten a fly. He felt particularly uncomfortable. He glared at the Minister of Revenue with dissatisfaction and said, "I order you to reflect on yourself at home for a month. You are not allowed to go out before a month!"

The Minister of Revenue didn't expect that Emperor Tianyuan knew exactly what he was thinking, and he was so scared that he begged for mercy repeatedly.

"Hurry up and go home." Emperor Tianyuan said sternly: "Let others do the work of the Ministry of Revenue during this period!"

Li Yu didn't see this scene, she was speeding up the grilling of sausages.

When people learned that Emperor Tianyuan had eaten Li’s grilled sausage, they rushed to buy the same kind, and she had to get busy again.

There were not many starch sausages, crispy meat sausages and grilled gluten left, and they were all sold out at noon.

However, the people did not believe her and stopped her from closing her stall.

"Stall owner, the snack fair has only been over for a day and a half, you must have some at home, why not have someone deliver it now? You see we are here today, you can't let us go back empty-handed."

Li Yu was very happy that someone liked the sausage, but he would not get any more if he waited any longer.

She spread her hands helplessly: "These things are not easy to make. I can't make them in the next two days. I'm really sorry. If you really want to eat them, wait until February. Then I will open a store specializing in grilled sausages."

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, the people retreated.

In the crowd, there was a servant from an official family who was dissatisfied with Li Yu's answer, but he didn't say anything. The emperor had visited many places today and had spent the longest time in front of the sausage stall, which meant that he was satisfied with the sausage stall this year. He might reward the lady who made the sausages next time. There was no need for them to cause trouble for her at this time.

In addition to the grilled sausages, the old lady's wontons next door were also sold out. Her little granddaughter was jumping around happily, which was particularly adorable.

There was nothing to do in the afternoon, so Li Yu left the horse-drawn carriage and donkey cart in an inn by the Chengjiang River, and then took Han Xiaomei and a few others to wander around the Chengjiang River for more than an hour.

Apart from other things, there were many kinds of snacks at the snack fair, with more than 50 kinds of noodles alone. There were also many soups, and one stall owner even made coriander soup and centipede soup, which surprised Li Yu.

After strolling until the end of the day, several people went home to rest.

Just after sitting down and resting for a while, I heard someone knocking on the door, and then the voice of Princess Jianing came over.

Li Yu hurried to open the door.

Princess Jianing did not come alone. She also brought Nanny Tian, ​​a eunuch and four guards. The leading eunuch was the one who came to the stall with Emperor Tianyuan in the morning.

"Li, we are here to convey your order."

Li Yu was startled and looked at Princess Jianing.

Princess Jianing winked at Li Yu, "The Emperor ate the sausage you made today and liked it very much, so he specially gave it to you as a reward."

*

Behind Li Yu, Han Xiaomei staggered and almost fell when she heard the imperial edict.

In this life, she could actually follow her second sister-in-law to receive the imperial edict. The Han family's ancestral graves must be filled with smoke.

Han Zheng also walked out of the room. Hearing what Princess Jianing said, he looked at Li Yu in shock. He did not participate in the snack party, so his second sister-in-law showed up in front of the emperor?

Lu Xuan and Si'er were also not calm.

The only one who remained calm was Li Yu.

She smiled at Princess Jianing, then knelt down with a few others to receive the order.

*

"By the grace of Heaven and the Mandate of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: In the snack fair of the eleventh year of Tianyuan, the Li family did not stick to tradition and sold three kinds of snacks that won my heart. I hereby grant them a royal jade plaque and a plaque. I decree this."

After the eunuch finished reading, he cast his eyes on Li Yu, "Li, please accept the order quickly."

Li Yu kowtowed and took the imperial edict.

After she took it, the eunuch moved aside. The next moment, the three guards standing behind him stepped forward and handed a plaque covered with red cloth and a box to Lu Xuan and Han Zheng.

"Congratulations, Li!" The eunuch said, "If there is nothing else, I will take my leave now."

"Please wait a moment, father-in-law." After saying that, Li Yu quickly went back to the house, and soon came out quickly.

She stuffed a purse into the eunuch's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work, eunuch."

The eunuch weighed the purse and felt its weight. His smile widened. "You're welcome."

After that, he bowed respectfully to Princess Jianing and said, "Princess, it's getting late, so I'll take my leave now."

Princess Jianing waved her hand.

The eunuch led the guards and left.

Soon, only Princess Jianing and Li Yu were left at the door.

*

Li Yu looked at the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand and couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

Princess Jianing saw that she was happy, and was even happier than she was. "At noon today, the emperor's uncle sent someone to call me to the palace. I thought he wanted to grant me a marriage, and I was very worried. Unexpectedly, he was asking about you. Boss Li, I really didn't misjudge you. Hey, I won't call you Boss Li in the future. We are friends, and calling you Boss Li is too strange. I'll just call you Yu Liyu, okay?"

Li Yu nodded: "You can call me whatever you want, Princess. It's fine with me. It's cold outside, Princess, please come inside and talk."

Princess Jianing shook her head: "I have to go home too. We have guests in the mansion tonight."

In this case, Li Yu did not try to keep her and let her and Nanny Tian leave.

After closing the gate, Li Yu looked at the other people, took a deep breath, walked to the plaque, and then lifted the red cloth under the expectant gazes of several people.
