Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it
Chapter 618: They are all as thin as chickens
Eunuch Sun beside him smiled and said:
"Your Majesty, this rare item was shipped from a small country on the southwestern border.
The people in that area don't know how to cook it, so they usually just feed it to poultry.
This time, in preparation for the competition, I saw that this thing looked so majestic, so I thought of bringing it back to try it out.
What a coincidence, there are people in our Bianjing City who are thinking about raising this thing!"
Qi Guangheng paused holding the teacup, his thick brows furrowed slightly. "Why keep this thing with pliers? Are you bored?"
Eunuch Sun's eyes gleamed, and he rubbed his hands excitedly:
"You don't know, this thing is called a lobster, it has a red shell and golden whiskers and is very beautiful.
I sent people to inquire, and found out that restaurants in several southern states have already started selling it. The wealthy families are eager to try it, and it is sold out as soon as it is served!
Even better, these lobsters are easy to raise. They grow big just by being thrown into a pond and produce lots of offspring. If we could promote their cultivation, it would be quite good.”
Qi Guangheng nodded and said, "It's indeed delicious. Is this another of Bai Wanwan's masterpieces?"
Sun Quan nodded and said, "This little girl is really focused on eating. She's really good at business."
Qi Guangheng ate a few more and said, "I'm afraid the Queen will be furious this time."
Su Daji's face turned red with anger. How could she not be angry?
She looked at the lobster on the plate and said, "Who likes to eat this kind of thing?"
"If you don't like it, then give it to me!" Concubine Shu said bluntly.
"Delicious, the taste is simply amazing, I want a few more..."
Then the old scholar standing above said, "Bai Wanwan has won the cooking competition again, which means Mingya Academy has won."
Bai Wanwan looked at the pile of things on the gambling table and almost burst out laughing.
Isn't this giving her money?
Gu Sinian's servants had already started counting the things. Shen Tao looked at Xiao Yi with a smile and said:
"Oh my! Why am I so lucky?
Every time I follow Bai Wanwan, all I do is make money. What do I need so much money for?
I'm not short of money, but I feel embarrassed."
Xiao Yi was really furious: "Shen Tao, don't go too far. You make money by relying on a woman, what kind of ability is that?"
Shen Tao snorted coldly:
"Bah! I make money from women? I won this money in my own way, and you lost your money by your own ability. Is it appropriate for you to take it out on me when you lose money?
Gu Sinian makes more money and is even more ruthless, why don't you take it out on him? "
Gu Sinian was the biggest winner in this gamble. Now he was using trucks to transport the goods. He took several trucks just for those boxes.
Zhang Quande shouted:
"You have to be careful, there are a lot of porcelains in here, they are all very precious, don't break them.
And be careful with things from other countries! It would be terrible if they got bumped or scratched."
People from other countries could only watch their country's things being taken away by cars.
The envoys from Dayuan watched helplessly as the carriage was loaded with the reins of the Ferghana horses and the gold-rimmed scimitars they had brought with them.
These were carefully selected from the royal palace, with the intention of showing them at the Great Qi State Banquet.
We wanted to show everyone the good things of Dayuan, but they were all thrown into the car like junk.
The Xiongnu envoy was so anxious that he stamped his feet. The camels behind him that were originally loaded with woolen felt and ox horn cups were now empty.
These were all exchanged for herds of cattle and sheep. I thought I would come to the State of Qi to exchange them for some ironware and food, but now they are all gone.
He touched the empty leather bag around his waist and muttered, "How am I going to explain this to my people when I get back?"
The Parthian envoy's face flushed red, and he slapped his thigh in pain as he looked at the pearl strings and agate plates rolling off the car.
These pearls were fished out of the sea by pearl divers who risked their lives, and the agate plates were polished by craftsmen who spent a lot of effort.
The Yelang Kingdom had a large cart full of various precious medicinal herbs.
The Messenger of Rest sneered and said:
"So this is the way the Great Qi Kingdom entertains guests!
We have come all this way, and you are here just for these things of ours?"
Baiyin couldn't help but retort:
"You lost these things in a bet. There's an old saying in Da Qi: accept defeat if you're willing to gamble. Can't you even do that?
Or are you guys from the Parthian Empire trying to cheat?"
The Parthian envoy sneered and said, "I don't know if you have any inside information here. Who would believe that a five-year-old child could actually beat other academies?"
"I also feel something is wrong. You must be cheating here." Several other messengers said one after another.
Baiyin snorted coldly and said:
“These test questions were discussed by people from several countries, and the people who came up with them were also imprisoned.
You are now saying that these are all fake, so how are they fake?"
Then they heard the messenger from Parthia say:
"My idea is that since the girls have competed, why don't we compete with the boys?
Anyway, this time there are boys from every country coming along.”
The Xiongnu envoy patted the several burly attendants around him, laughing so hard that his beard trembled:
"Look at our Xiongnu men, each of them can pull a 300-stone bow!
Now that the girls have competed, it’s time for the boys to show off their skills.
Horse riding, archery, wrestling, let everyone see real kung fu!
The men of your Great Qi State are no good, too weak, and each one is as skinny as a chicken."
Everyone burst into laughter. The Parthian envoy looked at the boys from Great Qi with disdain and said, "Indeed, they are all as weak as sticks. What use are they on the battlefield?"
Qi Guangheng hesitated for a moment and nodded:
"Let's compete! I, the young man from Daqi, am no pushover either.
This is a good opportunity to show you that the men of the Central Plains are not only good at writing, but they are also good at riding and fighting."
The Xiongnu envoy threw back his head and laughed, the scimitar at his waist making a crisp sound as he laughed:
"Great! Your Majesty is indeed a wise man!
We'll lose the fight, but not the battle. Let's wait and see which side has the tougher man!"
Bai Wanwan didn't expect these people to be so shameless.
But since Qi Guangheng agreed, no one dared to say anything.
Qi Guangheng smiled faintly and said, "Since it's a competition among children, there must be an age limit, right?"
The Messenger of Rest nodded and said, "I think those under 12 can participate. What do you think?"
Qi Guangheng nodded and said, "Then let each country send three people! Let's compete in horseback riding, archery and wrestling. What do you think?"
"Very good, Your Majesty is wise." Several envoys knelt down one after another.
Qi Guangheng smiled and waved his hand, saying, "These things will be your reward this time. What do you think?"
Qi Tianheng raised his hand to signal the eunuch, and two guards came forward carrying a vermilion lacquered wooden box.
He opened the lid of the box with his own hands, and the cold light immediately illuminated the entire hall. In the box lay a long sword with fine cloud patterns engraved on the sword body. Just putting it there made people feel a chill running up their necks.
"This is the Cold Edge Sword left by the late emperor. It can cut through iron like mud, worthy of the greatest warrior in the world."
