Consort Jin wants offal.
The imperial kitchen staff were terrified. How could they possibly serve such filthy food to the noble lady?
In the end, they slaughtered another one.
Following Jinfei's instructions, she washed it thoroughly.
Jin Fei picked up a piece of tripe with her chopsticks and put it into the hot pot. After a few dips, she put it into Jiang Jiaojiao's oil dipping sauce. The Fourth Princess's lips trembled, and she didn't dare to make a sound. This thing... is it really edible?
Jiang Jiaojiao's bite was soul-stirring.
"Crispy! Refreshing! Absolutely delicious!"
The fourth princess swallowed her words of objection, picked up a piece, hesitated for a few seconds, carefully took a bite, and slurped—fragrant! Spicy!
The sound of bowing could be heard outside the door.
The emperor walked in with a smile, "My beloved concubine, what new delicacies are you enjoying this time?"
He sat down with practiced ease, and the nanny immediately brought him a bowl and chopsticks, clearly indicating that this wasn't his first time freeloading here.
The group quickly stood up and bowed.
The emperor raised his hand, "No need, no need. I'm fortunate to have this fresh food today, thanks to you all."
A bite of sliced meat, a bite of tripe.
The emperor squinted his eyes in comfort.
This spiciness? It must be the dogwood that Jinfei had collected. We used it in the boiled pork slices last time, and it tasted amazing. The flavor is different when cooked in this hot pot.
It's so spicy I want to drink water and stick out my tongue, I want another piece.
"Your Majesty, please try these beef balls."
Consort Jin smiled and placed a meatball on the emperor's plate.
The old man next door was practically drooling with envy. His lips trembled, his mouth watered, and even though he closed his eyes and couldn't see anything, his nose became even more sensitive, and he craved even more.
Ms. Jin was still somewhat reserved.
The fourth princess also put down her chopsticks.
Jiang Jiaojiao and Consort Jin, however, were quite unceremonious. They believed that the world was vast, but food was the most important thing. What did it matter if the emperor was dead? He would still be floating around and unable to eat.
At first, Consort Jin was a little worried when the emperor started freeloading, but after it happened a few times, she realized that although the emperor seemed intimidating, he was actually a glutton who wanted to try everything, and the more she tried to stop him, the more he wanted to try.
Let's just give up.
They stopped hiding and avoiding each other, and the palace maids got used to preparing an extra set of bowls and chopsticks.
As long as the small kitchen produces fresh food.
No matter how busy His Majesty is with court affairs, he always finds an opportunity to try something new.
There's nothing a good meal can't solve; if it can't, then have another one.
They ate and drank their fill.
The emperor's gaze softened considerably. "Do you like your new residence?"
"I like it, I like it."
Jiang Jiaojiao nodded repeatedly.
Jin pulled Jiaojiao along and quickly knelt down to express her gratitude, saying, "Your Majesty's grace is boundless; your humble wife and family are deeply grateful."
"If you want to thank someone, thank my beloved concubine. She personally selected those two houses."
The emperor smiled.
He then looked at the Fourth Princess, "It's also close to the Princess's residence." It's even closer to the Seventh Prince's residence.
Hmph.
If it weren't to please the seventh prince, he wouldn't have been willing to give up such a good location; the princess's residence was almost at the end of the street.
Consort Jin smiled and helped Madam Jin up, saying, "We're all family."
Actually, she had her eye on the house opposite the princess's residence, but unexpectedly, His Majesty bestowed upon her a house in a better location.
What could she say?
It is naturally due to the Emperor's boundless grace!
Seeing that the emperor was enjoying his meal, Consort Jin's eyes darted around, and she suddenly turned to Jiang Jiaojiao and asked, "Jiaojiao, what do you think about this hot pot being introduced to the Red Mansion?"
Lady Jin, who was standing to the side, was startled, but when she saw that His Majesty's expression had not changed at all, she was relieved.
It seems His Majesty knows that the Red Chamber belongs to Consort Jin and Jiaojiao.
Jiang Jiaojiao's eyes lit up.
“Good idea! But the spiciness of dogwood… I’m afraid some people won’t be able to accept it.”
Didn't you notice that the Fourth Princess's lips were bright red?
"It's alright, the soup base can also be made with chicken broth or mushroom broth."
Consort Jin smiled and looked at the Emperor, "Your Majesty, would you like to invest? All the profits will go into your private coffers!"
The emperor was taken aback, and became very interested.
How do we get involved in this stock?
Chen Jin'er was prepared, her smile alluring, almost like a wagging fox tail. "Your Majesty will provide the personnel, I will provide the recipe, and Jiao Jiao will provide the money. Let's open a hot pot restaurant together, each taking a 30% share, how about it?"
Pampering is superficial; what truly matters is personal gain.
Partners are the strongest.
What kind of beauties didn't the emperor have in his harem? Dignified, aloof, gentle, and lovely.
No one had ever dared to ask me for things or people so bluntly.
They actually want to open a restaurant together with me?
This is really... interesting!
That's so interesting!
A novel and exciting feeling stirred the emperor's heart, "Good! I'll invest!"
Jin Fei followed the lead, her eyes crinkling with laughter.
"Your Majesty is so kind! Granny Jin, bring me pen, ink, paper, and inkstone! Words are not enough; let's put it in writing."
The emperor was taken aback.
Then he burst into laughter, "Hahaha! Good! Good!"
Is this... the first person who dares to ask themselves to sign a written agreement?
Jin and the fourth princess turned pale with fright.
Jiang Jiaojiao was also dumbfounded.
It can be... like this?
His Majesty was not angry at all; in fact, his eyes were practically brimming with affection as he looked at Little Jinjin.
Although Granny Jin was already used to her mistress's strange ideas, her hand holding the brush and ink still trembled slightly.
That's stroking the dragon's whiskers!
Every word is like dancing on the walls of a cold palace.
Jiang Jiaojiao looked at him with admiration, "Waaah, Little Jinjin is so amazing! So...so handsome! So handsome! So incredibly handsome!"
Consort Jin was under the Emperor's gaze.
He was open and honest, writing with a flourish, completely behaving like a partner who keeps clear accounts.
It's written very clearly and plainly.
The contract was written in triplicate.
The emperor indeed complied with Consort Jin's request and signed his name with a flourish, followed by the names of Chen Jin'er and Jiang Jiaojiao.
Kim's face trembled.
The fourth princess was also filled with disbelief. Could this man, who looked like a dissolute young master, really be her father?
Three copies are made, one for each party.
Jiang Jiaojiao carefully put the contract away, her smile wide and her eyes narrowed.
To partner with His Majesty to open a restaurant is absolutely unprecedented in history.
Consort Jin held the contract in one hand, and quickly reached out with the other to grasp the emperor's hand, shaking it twice. "It's a pleasure doing business with you."
Hands clasped together.
There was no allure or seduction.
Is it more like a ritual?
The emperor's eyes were full of novelty and curiosity. He imitated Consort Jin's gesture and shook it twice. "Alright, cooperation...pleasant!"
"Hahaha……"
"Hahaha……"
His Majesty's laughter echoed from the palace, drawing gasps of amazement from all who heard it; Consort Jin was indeed greatly favored.
The Jin family is about to rise to prominence!
Jiang Jiaojiao and Jin returned home with a bounty of rewards, making some jealous and others filled with regret.
The Jin family was more direct.
A three-day banquet was held at the city gate.
For the next three days, regardless of status, age, gender, or gender, everyone can receive two plump steamed buns and a bowl of egg drop soup at the entrance of Chengcheng. All items and food at all shops under the Jin family will be 20% off.
The Jin family's reputation soared.
With the imperial bestowal of the four characters "Renfu Family" by His Majesty, the Jin family's reputation reached its peak. People flocked to the family, and their home was always bustling with activity. All the members of the Jin family, young and old, were brought out.
Jiang Jiaojiao was preparing to go to the manor to find some peace and quiet.
Suddenly, I received an invitation from the Fifth Prince's residence.
"Jiang Xue is pregnant?!"
Jiang Jiaojiao suddenly stood up, but her face darkened.
In her previous life, Jiang Xue only became pregnant a year after moving to the mansion.
It's ahead of schedule?
The crybaby is in danger!
