Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

A basket of fresh meat buns was steamed out, with fragrant wisps of mist rising up, instantly filling the entire kitchen.

Chu Yi couldn't wait to open the steamer. When he saw the plump white buns on it, a sense of pride and accomplishment suddenly surged up in his heart.

"This is the first time I've cooked something myself. You're lucky to be able to witness it with your own eyes!"

After Chu Yi finished speaking to Su An proudly, he was attracted by the tempting aroma and took one and started eating without caring about his image.

Gently biting open the meat bun, a rich meaty aroma instantly spread in his mouth. Chu Yi's face turned red as he held the delicious soup in his mouth.

It was not the first time for him to eat buns, but this one was made by him, and the taste was just as delicious as the ones made by Su An.

"Hahaha, not bad, let me have a taste too!"

Chu Yi ate two in a row before he remembered Su An. He gave the order with arrogance and pride in his eyes.

Su An had to admire his arrogance.

He was clearly just copying the steps and thinking he had become a great chef.

She rolled her eyes silently, took the bun and took a bite, then immediately cooperated with a look of admiration and shock: "Wow! You are truly worthy of being His Majesty!"

Chu Yi still felt it was not enough, so he shouted loudly and hurriedly called Fu Hai outside to come in and taste it together.

After taking a bite of the bun, Fu Hai was truly stunned. "It's stunning! Such incredible skill! It's truly one of a kind! Your Majesty just made it casually, yet it looks like a delicacy from the celestial palace. I admire you so much!"

As he spoke, he gobbled the food with tears in his eyes, as if he was really moved by the delicious food.

Su An was secretly amazed by what he saw. Look, this method of flattery is superb!

Chu Yi fell for it and laughed so hard that he was shoulder to shoulder with the sky.

Su An looked at the remaining buns, which still had dozens of baskets of different flavors, and suggested with a light cough:

"Your Majesty, we usually distribute porridge to the people at this time, and the prince used to participate. Since Your Majesty has made so many buns, why not extend your grace to the people outside and help the disaster victims? After everyone tastes Your Majesty's cooking, they will surely be grateful."

Su An specifically mentioned that Fu Zhun had also done it. Sure enough, Chu Yi's face changed and he immediately wanted to compete for victory.

"What the cripple made is nothing. I am the emperor. It is a great honor for those disaster victims to eat the food I made."

"You, get ready immediately!"

Su An smiled secretly, finally achieving his goal.

After a busy day like this, the emperor surely wouldn't have the energy to take care of his own family, right?

She happily called the staff to put the buns into the steamer, and then arranged matters such as cooking porridge and setting up the tent.

Chu Yi arrived at the door and saw a large group of refugees queuing up. He immediately frowned and a look of annoyance flashed in his eyes.

This group of ragged and smelly disaster victims are really unlucky.

But the next moment, Su An banged the gong hard and shouted, "Everyone line up and don't squeeze. The buns distributed to everyone today are made by our emperor himself in the kitchen out of sympathy for the people. This is a great and unique imperial grace!"

"Your Majesty is a saint, and his heart is full of concern for the people. We must always remember this!"

"What!" The crowd suddenly exploded, and surprised and grateful eyes instantly fell on the emperor.

Chu Yi's whole body suddenly froze, and facing the countless people crying with gratitude, he was unable to react for a moment.

But then, all the victims knelt before him with a thud: "How could we, a bunch of lowly people, deserve to cause Your Majesty such trouble? Your Majesty is so virtuous and Your Majesty is so blessed!"

"My emperor is holy and virtuous, and the grace of heaven is immense!"

"Long live your Majesty!"

The dark and foul-smelling crowd now erupted in thunderous cheers.

Everyone's face was flushed with excitement and their eyes were filled with tears.

Chu Yi stared at the scene stiffly, and it took him a moment to come back to his senses, with a trace of boiling excitement in his eyes.

He suppressed his excitement, waved his hand and said with great pride: "You are all the people of Da Chu. Although disaster has come, I am with you! I also believe that you will be able to persevere and overcome this difficulty!"

wow——

Everyone was already moved, and hearing this was even more exciting, crying and shouting "Long live!"

Chu Yi nodded in satisfaction and turned back pretending to be calm.

As soon as he entered the shop, the excitement on his face was revealed, and his fists were shaking.

"Hahaha! My uncle has always been superior to me since I was little. The world only knows my uncle but not me. All the officials in the capital are like this. They all look to my uncle for his approval on matters big and small! They always compare me with my uncle!"

"But now, now! Finally, the people truly love me! It doesn't matter about the Emperor's uncle, they only have eyes for me, the Emperor!"

Thinking of the people's heartfelt tears just now, Chu Yi's breathing became hot and his eyes became more and more red.

Su An watched silently from the side and listened to these words. He couldn't help but look at the emperor seriously for the first time.

The young emperor looked about the same age as himself, about sixteen or seventeen years old. He was wearing a yellow robe, and his young face was handsome and arrogant.

However, this pride under the sky, the expression is full of joy that has been suppressed for a long time and finally released.

There's also an inexplicable sense of humility.

Looking at it this way, it was really a bit pitiful. Su An couldn't help but sigh slightly and whispered:

"Your Majesty, why should you dwell on the past? Your Highness's legs are already crippled. All the people in the world belong to Your Majesty now. If you are a good emperor, the people will naturally love and respect you."

As soon as the words fell, Chu Yi, who was immersed in ecstasy, suddenly turned his head and looked at her, with a hint of viciousness in his eyes, "A peasant girl is a peasant girl, how naive she is."

"Do you know that if the Emperor's uncle's legs heal one day and he can stand up again, and bring peace to the country through civil and military means, the court officials will once again turn to him and support him, and the people will only call him the King of Zhenbei!"

"Why?!"

He smiled a devilish smile and said, "So, only when the Emperor's uncle is completely dead, will everything return to normal. I will then be the true ruler who follows the will of heaven!"

He seemed to be venting and making up his mind. He talked to himself and then laughed heartily.

Su An was shocked when he heard this.

This emperor went crazy at such a young age.

But to be honest, it seems that no one is wrong?

The king owns the country and the people, but he has a minister who is so powerful that he threatens the king. Any emperor would feel that he is being watched covetously, and would be uneasy and suspicious to the point of going crazy.

Alas... Although it is not something she can control, she is definitely on the right side!

Just as he was thinking about it, the guard's voice suddenly came from outside: "Your Majesty, the messenger has arrived and said that the prince has sent a letter for you."

When Su An heard the news about Fu Zhun two days after their separation, his eyes lit up and he immediately showed joy.

Although it wasn't a letter to her, at least it was found!
