As the first piece of meat, as thin as a cicada's wing, slid into the boiling soup, my mood also slid into excitement.

Watching it tumbling in the soup and its color changing from raw to cooked, my anticipation soared to the limit.

Finally, he carefully took out the piece of meat, dipped it in the sauce prepared by Su Yuejian, and put it into his mouth.

Wow, at that moment, the delicious meat, rich soup and layered seasonings bloomed on the tip of the tongue, and all the expectations were instantly transformed into satisfaction and surprise!

The taste was something I had never experienced before. With every bite, numbness, spiciness, freshness, fragrance and deliciousness all clamored on the tip of my tongue, like a grand taste carnival.

Tender and juicy pork belly, melt-in-your-mouth tofu, springy fish balls, soft and smooth duck blood, and of course the plump and juicy beef, all blended together, it's like a colorful fireworks show blooming on your taste buds.

With the help of fire, various ingredients in the hot pot are boiling. Everyone eats and chats around the stove, and the heat and taste are intertwined. It turns out that "Spicy Yipinxian" is the soul dipping sauce!

Halfway through the meal, the concubine, who was old after all, told the young people to eat more and left the table to let them help themselves.

"So this is what it feels like to swallow your tongue!" exclaimed Nangong Li, who was a little tipsy.

At this time, because it was the first time in his life to try spicy food, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

A breeze blew by, and the black hair danced in the wind.

Su Yuejian, who was concentrating on enjoying the food, was suddenly brushed by Nangong Li's unruly hair.

Soft to the touch, hair as silky as satin... Well, it's well maintained. I'll ask him what shampoo he uses later.

Su Yuejian had dealt with this handsome prince a lot, and ever since he helped her out at the last Spring Banquet, she treated him as a brother in the trenches.

When they met again, Nangong Li could feel that she seemed more at ease. She would say whatever she wanted to say directly without thinking too much in her mind.

He actually enjoyed this relaxed way of getting along with others.

The abacus in his mind started clattering, and he suddenly thought that the frequency of follow-up visits he had asked Su Yuejian to come once a month was a bit too long.

If I had known this would happen, I should have threatened her to come once a week for follow-up!

Nangong Li was eating and praising the taste of the hot pot!

Su Yue felt that the time was right, so she took out a premium chili sauce, the Spicy Yipinxian, and pushed it in front of Nangong Li with both hands.

Nangong Li looked at this exquisite little porcelain jar. It was well sealed, had a tasteful packaging design, and had an inscription in cursive script on the outside. The item was very good.

"Huh? Why only one can?"

Su Yuejian estimated that the atmosphere had been set.

"Your Highness, look, the dishes made with this chili pepper taste very different. Anyone who has eaten it will never forget it. I want to find a partner to supply them with chili powder and chili sauce. I wonder if Your Highness is interested in working together to make money?"

Nangong Li blinked and looked at the person in front of him.

"Hey, you little rascal, you took this chili pepper from me, and now you want to take the thing I gave you to make money from me. You are really a business genius! It's okay, but you have to do it according to my instructions."

Although Nangong Li was slightly tipsy, his mind was still clear and he was not led astray by Su Yuejian at all.

"Look, Your Majesty, if you give me a pot of chili peppers, I'll give you 50% of the profits. How about that?

I didn’t take it for nothing.” Su Yuejian continued to bait and lobbied.

"Fifty percent won't work, seventy percent is better!" Nangong Li snorted coldly and arrogantly.

Su Yuejian calculated that the planting cost is very low and the yield is very high. As for the labor cost, her people plus the four people borrowed from her grandmother last time, 10 people would be able to finish the process in one month.

Even if you only take 30%, it will be a huge profit.

Even if we only take 30% this time, we will still make at least a thousand taels of silver in profit.

If he had this money in the future, whether he wanted to expand his business scope or purchase new equipment, it would not be a problem at all. After all, sufficient funds were Su Yuejian's greatest confidence!

However, she knew very well that she was not good at business, and if she put too much energy into it, she might get half the result with twice the effort.

So she wanted to find some people who were good at making money to run her business.

This way, she can just sit back and wait for her share of the profits!

You don’t have to worry about those tedious matters and can concentrate on doing what you like!

"Deal!" Su Yuejian felt that this ratio was acceptable.

"Lanyue Tower is my property. Chili Sauce is exclusively cooperating with me. You get 70% of the profits!"

"What? Did I hear you right? Let me take 70%. Your Highness, you are still sober!" Su Yuejian stretched out her hand, waved it in front of his eyes, and confirmed again.

"It's just a little seasoning. How can I take advantage of a little girl like you?" Nangong Li glared at Su Yuejian and said.

"Thank you, Your Highness! Then please do me another favor. I heard that the Maritime Bureau can get some trade items from vassal states. Can you find time to take me to have a look and open my eyes?"

Su Yuejian said flatteringly,

"If I find something delicious again, I will be the first to give it to you!"

"Okay, I'll make arrangements and ask Zhao Gang to notify you when the time comes."

Nangong Li thought that the little girl was just curious about the foreign items, and promised to take her to see them next time when she paid tribute.

Su Yuejian knew that at that time, the official trade between Jingguo and foreign countries was mainly based on luxury goods and handicrafts.

She secretly thought that if she could go and check it out in person, she might find some great things that others might not like but would be like treasures to her!

Once you gain something, you can make a lot of money again!

After Su Yuejian left, Zhao Gang asked Nangong Li in confusion:

"Master, our restaurant is clearly called Qionghua Tower, when did we add Lanyue Tower?"

Nangong Li was in a good mood, with a sly look in his eyes. He ordered loudly, "Pass on my order. All Qionghua Towers in the country will be renamed Lanyue Tower immediately!"

A bright moon hung high in the sky, casting a cool light. Nangong Li stood quietly in the courtyard, holding a pot of fine wine in his hand. He raised his head slightly, staring at the bright moon, as if he wanted to see through it.

He gently opened the lid of the wine flask, and a strong aroma of wine filled his nose. He raised the wine flask, facing the moonlight, and whispered:

"Lan Yue!" His voice was a little drunken, as if the moonlight could understand his deepest expectations.

As the words fell, Nangong Li raised his head and drank a gulp. The strong liquor went into his throat, burning his throat like fire, but he didn't care.

He reached out and drew out the guard's sword. The sword shone with a cold light, and the wind blew it, making his clothes flutter. He started to dance with the sword, and said to himself:

"The stars are far away and the night is still long." The tip of the sword cut through the air, making a slight whistling sound!

His eyes became deeper and deeper, as if he was remembering the bizarre dream he used to have often.

Then, he took another sip of wine, raised his glass to the moon again, and continued to pour out his heart:

"The lonely building stands alone with a vague thought,"

His steps were light, sometimes like a dragonfly skimming the water, sometimes like a tiger descending from a mountain, and his chivalrous demeanor was fully revealed in both movement and stillness.

His tone revealed a deep sense of loneliness, as if he was confused about not being able to achieve anything and could only pretend to be a playboy and show off in the world.

However, despite this, Nangong Li still held the wine jug firmly and made a toast to the void:

"Raise a glass to the moon and get drunk together,"

After saying that, he drank it all again.

Under the moonlight, his sword became more and more fierce, and the sword light flickered like countless bright stars jumping in the night sky.

"The moon shines like water."

After reciting the last sentence, his figure and the sword shadow intertwined, showing both the beauty of firmness and flexibility.

The bamboo leaves in the courtyard swayed with the wind from the sword, making rustling sounds, as if they were resonating with the sword dance under the moon.

After a series of exquisite sword moves, Nangong Li slowly put away his sword. He stood in the moonlight like a sculpture. His breath was as steady as the still water in a deep pool, and his eyes were so deep that they seemed to be able to penetrate the endless darkness.

It was as if everything that just happened was just a flow of thoughts between him and the moonlit night.
