Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Now, even King Yan was somewhat dissatisfied with Qin Ming's arrangement.

"Sir Song, is this what His Majesty wants?"

He asked with a cold face.

"I am not hungry, thank you for your kindness."

Prince Su snorted coldly and turned his back to Song Dingsheng. It seemed that he wanted to live in the carriage and not suffer this bully!

Ming Wang couldn't help but speak Yin-Yang:

"Or maybe Lord Song is an official brought up by His Majesty? He is just knowledgeable."

"Pick any ordinary restaurant in the capital and it will open our eyes? Amazing, this is really amazing! Don't you agree?"

"No, it makes us look quite ignorant."

Several princes at the back took over the conversation.

Song Dingsheng lowered his head and curled his lips speechlessly.

To be honest, considering the current strength of the capital, it is really an honor to say that we can open their eyes.

However, these princes were too thin-skinned and were almost broken by just one sentence.

After being ridiculed by everyone, Song Dingsheng remained calm and said to the King of Yan:

"Prince Yan is wrong. This is not what your Majesty meant. This is what I meant."

As a subordinate, if there is a problem, you should first stop it yourself.

Then comes the work.

"Today's banquet is actually a little different. I have absolute confidence in this. If you feel that you can't finish it, you can take my life."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Prince Yan and Prince Su all frowned.

Ming Wang sneered even more.

OK, this guy is really good.

It's hard to tell whether he's praising or criticizing. He starts breathing heavily after just a few words. He's just bragging.

"This is what you said!"

Ming Wang rushed directly into the inn.

Seeing this, King Yan and others had no choice but to follow.

On the third floor, in a nursery, within a fence surrounded by birdsong and flowers, there is an extremely spacious eight-immortal table.

Everyone is gathered here.

"Serve."

Song Dingsheng whispered to the people below.

The other party nodded immediately.

Soon the dishes were served on the table.

"This is Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, a dish personally developed by His Majesty. It was refined and further developed by the master chef Yi!"

"Put up the pot. These are fish fillets caught from the deep sea and sent to the capital fresh on ice. Rinse them in clean water and season them, and they'll taste incredibly delicious."

……

When these things were served, even the Ming King, whose fiefdom was near the port, was shocked.

Although he had some seafood there, he had never seen this kind of deep-sea fish.

As for dishes like Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, which require a lot of effort to prepare, they were conquered immediately after taking a sip of the soup.

"How's it going, everyone?"

Thinking back to what he had just thought, Qin Ming was deliberately making things difficult for them.

Prince Ming and Prince Su were silent.

The princes who had just agreed with them were also busy eating at this moment.

"The King of Yan is knowledgeable and experienced. Does he know how this was done?"

Song Dingsheng kept his mission in mind, which was to help Qin Ming defeat the vassal kings from all over the country.

So he took advantage of the victory and continued to question the King of Yan.

"Well...I'm not sure."

Prince Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead awkwardly.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m sweating from the heat of eating or because I’m nervous.

"What does Ming Wang think?"

Song Dingsheng continued to ask.

"I... don't know."

The Ming King hesitated and could not explain the reason.

So Song Dingsheng brought the cook Yi from the kitchen.

It describes in detail where the raw materials such as ham, scallops, local chickens, and large bones come from.

After listening to the origins of these items.

Everyone was shocked.

They knew that Qin Ming's logistical capabilities were very strong, especially after the construction of railways in various places, the transportation speed of materials was extremely fast.

But even though people know about it, no one has ever seen it with their own eyes.

Today Song Dingsheng finally helped them open their eyes!

"Sir Song, may I ask how much a serving of these dishes, such as this bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, would cost in the capital?"

Their Buddha Jumps Over the Wall were served in bowls.

Song Dingsheng pointed to the bowl in front of him and said:

"How much silver do you think this bowl is worth?"

"I'm afraid it will cost... over a thousand taels."

The King of Yan was being very conservative.

According to Chef Yi, it takes seven days just to cook this bowl of soup.

The materials used during this period were countless.

If it doesn't sell for a thousand taels of silver, it probably won't be able to support the expenses of an inn like this.

"I think it's three thousand taels of silver."

Prince Su expressed his opinion at this time.

After this round of rectification, the King of Ming had already begun to admire the strength of the capital, and now he continued:

"Although it's expensive, I'm willing to pay three thousand taels of silver. It's enough to come here every few months to try it out."

In their opinion, even a prince cannot afford such things.

After listening to what they said, Song Dingsheng clasped his fists towards the direction of the imperial city and said:

"Thanks to your majesty's infrastructure, these things are actually not expensive now. Apart from the cost of the raw materials, there are only the transportation costs and the time cost of the chefs to cook..."

"A bowl of this only costs thirty taels of silver. Many wealthy merchants in the capital come here from time to time to try it."

"hiss!"

Upon hearing the price, everyone present gasped.

They looked down at the empty bowls in front of them in disbelief.

"Can your prices be pushed down so low?"

Prince Yan's voice trembled as he looked up at Song Dingsheng in disbelief.

"Old Yi, calculate for them."

Seeing that they didn't believe him, Song Dingsheng asked the cook Yi to push over a small stone slab for settling accounts.

As the royal chef, Yi has a clear understanding of the prices and transportation costs of various ingredients.

Just a few simple words silenced everyone present.

The scene fell into dead silence.

Everyone understood what this dinner was for.

Before even entering the palace, Qin Ming's overwhelming strength left everyone breathless.

This is not just about eating, this is about Qin Ming's logistical means and soft power!

I put down my bowl and chopsticks silently, the delicious food just now seemed like just a dream.

After waking up, every vassal king began to worry about his fiefdom and army.

"When can we...see His Majesty?"

"tomorrow!"

At this time, Song Dingsheng unexpectedly gave an exact time.

The crowd who had felt a little disappointed just now suddenly felt a little expectant again.

They were so shocked just by seeing Song Dingsheng.

What if I meet the legendary Majesty tomorrow?

Until now, their understanding of Qin Ming still remains at the time when he was in the imperial court a few years ago and led troops to the north to fight bravely against those nomadic tribes.

Unfortunately, time has passed and in the blink of an eye, the other party has ascended to the throne.

"Well."

King Yan took a deep breath, stood up, and clasped his fists towards Song Dingsheng, saying:

"Thank you, Master Song and Master Yi, for your help today."

"Oh, you're welcome."

Song Dingsheng is familiar with such occasions.

It seems that the arrogance of the princes has been almost worn away.

Immediately put on a friendly attitude.

"Old Yi, how about a few more dishes?"

"okay!"
