Chapter 920: Xihai Shows Off His Wealth and Gets Slapped in the Face

Ling Yun took a towel and dipped it in water to wash Su Nuan's hands with a doting look on his face.

The princess gritted her teeth and snorted coldly.

The palace maid, who could only be a maid at the moment, came up and took the golden cup away.

Soon after, another group of people brought the dish, which was a golden bowl in the shape of a lotus, with a bright white flower bud sitting in the bowl.

The princess said sarcastically, "It seems that poverty in the North is a fact. There is only this much food."

Su Nuan smiled when she saw the dishes, "We in the North are not as bold as you people in the West Sea Country who eat meat with big mouthfuls."

Ling Yun agreed, "Yeah, here we have to share a piece of seafood among more than ten or twenty people, unlike them."

The princess felt even more proud after hearing this. She had not expected that the Sifang Kingdom was so backward that one fish had to be shared among more than ten or twenty people. How could each person eat just one bite?

I guess they cook a pot of soup for one fish, and each person takes a sip of the soup to taste it.

The prince had little presence, and he looked indifferent and didn't speak.

The older man was laughing wildly at this moment: "Hahahaha... You guys are really poor here. You actually have so many people eating one fish."

Su Nuan pretended to be helpless and said, "There's nothing I can do. This is how it is. Why don't you give us some seafood?"

The princess was a little elated at the moment. "Isn't it just seafood? I'll give it to you."

Su Nuan immediately added: "How much?"

The princess was startled and thought to herself, "Why are you in such a hurry? Are you so poor that you can't even afford to eat?"

She felt even more proud, "So what if I give you a boat?"

Su Nuan immediately took out a pen and paper and wrote something, then handed it to the maid beside her, "Take it and have the princess sign it, so that she won't default on the debt."

The princess didn't expect Su Nuan to be so shameless and actually let her deliver it.

But the words were already spoken, so she had no choice but to sign.

There aren't many fish in a boat anyway.

Su Nuan saw the receipt returned to her hand. She smiled slightly, folded it up and handed it to Ling Yun, "The princess is so generous."

"We're going to send us a boatload of fish that can feed a dozen or twenty people. You'd better keep it well."

Ling Yun took a look at the document and was stunned for a moment before he laughed again. "I understand. If the princess changes her mind, I will ride on my flying cavalry to the West Sea Kingdom's palace to argue with her."

The princess's face darkened. She felt that Ling Yun's words contained a threat and she felt unhappy.

But then I thought again, I felt balanced. Why bother with a man who is so poor that he has to beg for a boat full of fish?

Su Nuan achieved her goal, so she winked at the person serving next to her.

One by one, beautiful maids came in carrying trays. On the tray was a big-bellied golden teapot with a handle wrapped in a layer of golden nanmu.

This kind of decoration is a bit weird and does not conform to the current aesthetic taste.

The princess taunted him again, "Don't you have a single craftsman with good taste?"

"Golden nanmu is already beautiful, and it only needs a little bit of gold to be added. What you are doing is simply overdoing it."

"If you can't afford golden nanmu, we still have some in our country and can give...sell some to you."

Su Nuan seized on her words and said with a smile, "Why don't you say you're giving it away? If you can't afford it, then don't say anything."

The princess choked with anger, and the next moment she found that the maid grabbed the wooden handle and picked up the big-bellied golden pot, and then poured the clear water inside onto the flower buds in the bowl.

The flower bud slowly unfolded and became crystal clear. The flower, set against the backdrop of the misty hot air, looked like it was picked from the Fairyland.

The princess was shocked that this seemingly bite-sized dish could be so beautiful. Just watching the "flowers bloom" was very pleasing to the eye.

There was also an indescribable fresh fragrance that came to her nose, making her saliva secrete like crazy.

At the same time, she also understood the wooden handle on the golden pot. It was not a decoration, but a heat-insulating tool.

Others who have such a large piece of golden nanmu wood would definitely carve it into a handle, but what did they do?

The heat-insulating wooden handle is made of golden nanmu...

Although it is paired with a golden pot, it still makes people feel that it is a waste of resources.

Su Liren had a harmless smile on his face and said, "Everyone, try this clear water cabbage."

After saying that, he picked up the flower with chopsticks and ate it, then put on a satisfied expression.

"Small seafood has its own unique flavor, which cannot be compared with large seafood."

The princess knew that Su Liren was trying to get back at her, so she snorted and said in a condescending manner, "I'll give it a try."

She wanted to make up for it by sacrificing the taste and then humiliating them.

However, the cabbage was so delicious that it almost made my tongue fall off when I put it in my mouth.

She stood there for a moment, feeling mixed emotions.

How can I be picky about this, it’s so delicious that I want to cry!

The middle-aged man from the West Sea Kingdom exclaimed, "Oh my God, this is the most delicious cabbage I have ever eaten."

After saying that, he looked at Su Liren again, "Master Prime Minister, could you tell me how this soup is made?"

"All soups must be cooked for a long time to taste good, but the longer they are cooked, the more turbid the soup becomes."

"It's amazing that you can turn such a delicious and richly flavored broth into just water."

A gentle smile appeared on Su Liren's face, which showed that he had a good impression of this middle-aged man.

"The soup is made from some clam shells. The soup is thick and white, and it needs to be filtered through fine cloth many times to filter the soup to this degree."

The middle-aged man nodded, he stood up and bowed, "I admire you."

Su Liren smiled faintly, "It's nothing, just a method my daughter came up with when she was bored, not worth mentioning."

Su Nuan smiled and said, "Now that I've whetted my appetite, is the next dish ready? What is it?"

Su Liren smiled and said, "Her Majesty, please wait a moment. We need to clean up the place for the next dish."

After saying that, he clapped his hands.

When the waiters came in, each of them was holding a square table in his hand. Each table was made of golden nanmu wood, and the top was five feet square.

The princess narrowed her eyes. How much golden nanmu wood was there in this country? They could actually use it to make tables!

But seeing this scene, she felt that the scald-proof handles made of golden nanmu wood were not at all out of place.

She thought of what she had just said and was still thinking about asking the other party to buy the golden nanmu wood from their country. At this moment, she felt her face burning.

Su Liren smiled slightly and said, "Please wait a moment, everyone. The next dish is a bit large."

In order to save face, the princess said with a stiff upper lip, "Could it be the small seafood you just mentioned?"

"Are you going to put a plate on every table? On the plate is your small seafood?"

"Is that Gala or some small fish or shrimp?"

Su Liren's expression was indifferent, and he said calmly: "You'll know when you see it."

The princess felt uncomfortable with his rude words, but she couldn't curse like a shrew, so she could only endure it for the time being.

When the dishes come, find topics to talk about with those small seafood to continue humiliating them.

The old man snorted coldly and said, "It's just some golden nanmu wood. You put it together and make these to show off. How superficial."
