Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around
Chapter 189 The emperor who sells food is here
On August 19th, the Yewang Mansion and the Chai Mansion gathered together at the Chai Mansion. It was a bustling scene! Even the Minister of War moved in to join in the fun. The men in black also arrived, leaving only the two gatekeepers at the Minister's Mansion. The couple and their children all came to the Chai Mansion. Old Lady Li, mindful of the overall situation, ordered the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Little Milk Bag is the busiest. Ye Heng comes every night to help Guo Guo pick fruit and move things. He also has to run business during the day. Fortunately, in this space, there's plenty of time to get enough sleep. Drinking Lingquan water and Maojian tea, I'm just relaxing.
Little Milk Bag had the black-clad men in the space break off the cobs and boil the tender corn to sell. They set up two large tables on either side of the shop's main entrance. Qiu Ju and Dong Shuang were selling them. "Two cents for a large cob, delicious and inexpensive!" The guards kept offering them, and the two kept selling. Roasted sweet potatoes were also on the market, and were sold by the boys on either side of the main entrance—two guards, dressed young. The aroma filled the air as they roasted and sold them. Two cents each. Edamame were also boiled, fresh and fragrant. The black-clad men cooked them in the space, and the guards picked them out and brought them to the shop's main entrance. They were two cents per pound, and boiled peanuts were five cents per pound. The black-clad men picked, washed, and boiled the peanuts, and the seventy-nine of them were busy. Guoguo said there was plenty to eat! The black-clad men worked tirelessly, never letting their mouths idle.
By the evening, my hands were cramped from counting money. The shop collected a hundred thousand taels of silver in ten days. Jiaxing gave all the silver to Guoguo and rewarded the employees with fifty taels of silver each for ten days. Even the old soldiers and yamen runners helped sell food and earned five taels of silver each for a day.
Two hundred and ten taels of silver, kept at home, was perfectly safe. It was safer than anywhere else, because the Chai Mansion was fully equipped with surveillance cameras and secret guards provided by the prince. Four men in black sat in the house, watching the surveillance cameras day and night.
That day, the emperor heard that there was a lot of activity outside Guoguo's shop, so he told Ye Heng to change his clothes and go out for a walk.
The two appeared outside the shop, observing the sea of people from a distance. Ye Heng said, "Your Majesty, let's go in through the back door." "Yes." They staggered in and knocked on the shop's back door. Jiaxing welcomed them in, poured them tea, and then went outside to bring four large plates of roasted sweet potatoes, boiled corn, peanuts, and edamame. Jiaxing retreated, closing the door, and the two began to eat. The emperor said, "They smell sweet. These are the sweet potatoes Guoguo recommended last year." Ye Heng said, "Yes, there are many ways to prepare them. It depends on how you cook them. You can grind them into starch. The fried vermicelli we had last time was made from sweet potatoes. It's even better when ground into flour and made into steamed bread. If everyone planted potatoes and sweet potatoes, they wouldn't starve. No one would die of starvation anymore." The emperor said, "Last year, I had the Ministry of Revenue send people to learn how to make them... We can't have them all over the country right away. We'll take our time." The emperor finished his roasted sweet potatoes and sent Ye Heng for a few more. The emperor said, "I'm full." After urinating, the emperor returned to eat boiled peanuts. Edamame, corn. "Delicious, tender corn is delicious." "Yes, my Royal Highness, I've eaten it a long time ago." Ye Heng said with a smile.
Xiaodong's sister-in-law had eaten it before. The Emperor said, "So I'm the only one who hasn't eaten it yet." Ye Heng smiled and said nothing more. It was self-evident.
Chai Zhen, Xiaodong, Lu Qian, and Guoguo all arrived soon after. Jiaxing brought in a lot of food, saying, "Everyone, eat your fill. This is lunch." The people roasting sweet potatoes outside added two more stoves. The four of them roasted them, but they couldn't get enough.
On the first floor, all kinds of flour are very cheap, catering to poor students. Most people cook their own meals, so it's perfectly adequate. But the second floor, unaffected, is flooded with custom clothes, with a line stretching all the way to the Lunar New Year. The palace employs over ten embroiderers daily to help with the garments, and demand can't keep up! These are all high-end products. Little Milk Bag has also started customizing trench coats for men, with a limit of ten per day, at three hundred taels of silver per coat. These days, the daily revenue exceeds ten thousand yuan, and Little Milk Bag is beaming with joy.
Your Majesty, Ye Heng stayed up very late, and Little Milk Bag packed a lot of food for him before he left in a carriage.
The emperor said in the car, "I heard that the second floor can make custom clothes?" Ye Heng looked at the emperor and said, "Is it still useful for you, brother? They can't, and they can't make the clothes you wear." The emperor thought for a while and said, "We can wear them when we go out!" Ye Heng: "Is this okay?" Ye Heng was still trying to be vague. The emperor: "Sure, you can wear anything when you go out!" Ye Heng: "Okay, let Guoguo take your size when you come back." The emperor felt very happy. Since he recovered, he had a younger brother.
Help, his son and daughter-in-law, both returned, and he felt relieved. After two trips out, he couldn't stay in the palace anymore. When he went out, he could wear whatever he wanted. In the palace, there was only one kind of clothing. After seeing it so many times, it became like that. ...
