"Daddy and Mommy, we're back."
The next day, Su Ningjie and Su Ningwen came directly to Donggong after school.
After the greetings, Su Ningjie walked towards Su Xingyi with his school bag on his back and grabbed his arm and kissed him.
Su Ningwen walked towards Xiaowu who was lying in the cradle with a school bag on his back.
"Father, Mother, when we got home from school yesterday, my third brother and I heard from my eldest brother that his uncle had come to the palace with gifts to propose marriage, and the date had been set. Did he send a message to my younger sister?"
"Xiao Yu, have you sent a message to Xiao Xi'er?"
Xiao Lingyu smiled and nodded, "The date for their wedding was set long ago. Yu Lan came to the capital and agreed to marry. That night, I asked Huang Huang to deliver a letter to Xiao Xi'er."
"Did your sister write back saying she missed us?"
Xiao Lingyu took Xiao Xier's reply letter from the cabinet and handed it to Su Ningjie. "Of course I miss you. Take a look."
Su Ningwen hurried over and took a closer look with Su Ningjie.
In the letter, Xiao Xier not only wrote that she missed them, but also wanted to eat hot and sour noodles, pickled fish, and fairy vegetables, as well as more unique foods invented by her mother.
"My sister said she wanted to try something new. It seems like it's been a while since Mom has come up with a new delicacy."
"Yes, mother." Su Ningwen agreed: "When will you come up with new food? The sooner the better. That way, I can use the food to coax my sister back from Nankun."
Su Ningjie's eyes lit up, "Yes, mother, this is a good idea. I can trick my sister back with delicious food. Her father and mother won't stop me."
Xiao Lingyu raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "I think you two are the ones who taste good."
"Hehe..." The two brothers smiled embarrassedly.
"Don't worry, Mommy will release delicious food every month, and let Xiao Xier fly back once a month. What do you think?"
The two brothers looked at each other and thought that it was definitely not enough for their sister to come back once a month. She needed to come back at least fifteen or sixteen times a month.
But thinking that her sister was the Crown Princess of Nankun after all, not an ordinary little girl, she said, "Okay, just this once."
"Let's go, have dinner, come back and finish today's homework early and go to bed early."
"Don't worry, mother. We will have a day off from school tomorrow."
Xiao Lingyu's mind moved slightly, and it was just right to invite everyone into the palace tomorrow.
Before going to bed, Xiao Lingyu went to Su Ningjie's room with the seeds of rare ingredients.
"Su Yun and Su Ying returned to the capital with rare ingredients and their seeds. Since we have a day off from school tomorrow, Mother has called everyone into the palace to taste chili and tomato dishes."
Su Ningjie said, "When they come back, my brother-in-law should have collected all the peppers and tomatoes from the villagers, right?"
"Yes, I have already set the price. Your brother-in-law is now taking his men to sell it to the counties and prefectures. It won't be long before it's sold in the capital."
"Then let's start with chili and tomato dishes at Grandma's Jintai Restaurant to make a lot of money. Luyuan Qionglou will open in a month, and then we can also launch the divine dishes. How about that?"
Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment and said, "If Jintai Tower is sold first, Luyuan Qionglou will lose its advantage."
"As long as other restaurants don't have tomato and chili dishes, Luyuan Qionglou will definitely stand out. Chef Mo Yunfei has already come up with new chili and tomato dishes, and not only that, but there are other new dishes as well. We will definitely have our own merits and be on par with Jintailou, allowing us to compete with Jintailou in a healthy way."
When he came to Beijing before, he was thinking of surpassing Jintai Tower and inviting all the dignitaries in the capital to come to Luyuan Qionglou.
But he never expected that the owner behind Jintai Building was his grandmother.
We can only readjust our business thinking.
Xiao Lingyu rubbed Su Ningjie's little head lovingly. "Since you are so confident, Mother is relieved. Tomorrow, in addition to tasting the divine vegetables, I need you to take the lead in teaching Xiaojiu and Mingde to grow peppers and tomatoes. In the future, not only will Beiyi have peppers and tomatoes, but the people of Dongjun and Xirong will also be able to grow rare ingredients, giving them an extra income."
"What about Nankun?"
"The last time I sent Xiao Xi'er away, my mother asked her to take the seeds she had taken last year back to Nankun."
"Okay, mother. Leave it to me tomorrow. I will make sure they learn how to grow rare ingredients."
The next day, as soon as the palace gate opened, several eunuchs rushed out of the palace to the Royal West Garden, Prince Fu's Mansion, Prince Qin's Mansion, and the Gu family to deliver a message, asking them to come to the palace before lunch to taste the divine dishes.
The person who was happiest to receive this news was Baili Xuanlang.
Hehe... He can enter the palace and have meals with Yu Lan again.
"Cousin, is that magical dish made with peppers and tomatoes?"
"Yes, it's delicious, but you'd better not eat dishes made with chili peppers. The spiciness will make you cry."
"It's so spicy it makes me cry?" Baili Mingde disagreed. "Then I must taste it carefully and see if it can make me cry."
Su Ning'an curled his lips, "You'll know when you try it. The best is the beef brisket with tomatoes. The soup is sour and sweet even without sugar. It's super delicious."
Baili Mingde stayed in Huayang County for two days and did not taste the magical food. When he heard Su Ning'an say this, he swallowed unconsciously.
The thought that had been suppressed with great difficulty now surfaced, "My cousin is going to taste the divine dishes today, which is a good opportunity to propose this to Empress Xiao."
Su Ning'an thought about it and decided that he would have to speak out sooner or later. He would have to face it no matter how he delayed. "I will find a chance to propose this to the Queen. Today you should just enjoy the divine dish and forget about anything else."
Baili Mingde had a feeling that his wish would come true today. "Okay, I will try my best to taste the divine dish."
Su Ning'an missed his two younger brothers, so after breakfast, he took his family into the palace.
Brothers Su Ningjie and Su Ningwen had a rare day off from school, and Shangguan Mochen, Shangguan Lan, Gu Yunshu and others also entered the palace early.
What made Baili Mingde overjoyed was that as soon as they entered the palace, Su Ningjie took them to a two-acre vegetable plot in the back garden of the East Palace.
On the long table in front of the vegetable garden were placed the seeds of the rare ingredients he had been longing for.
"Brother Jie, why did you bring us here?" Shangguan Jinnian asked.
Su Ning'an knew what was going on at a glance, but said nothing and glanced at Baili Mingde out of the corner of his eye.
Sure enough, I saw a gleam of excitement in his eyes.
Su Ningjie had changed into a coarse linen shirt, rolled up his sleeves, and pulled up his trouser legs.
"Uncle, these are seeds of peppers and rare ingredients. Today I will teach you how to grow rare ingredients. Learn well and bring the seeds back so that your people can also eat peppers and tomatoes."
"What? Isn't this what your queen mother uses to improve the lives of the people and make a lot of money to fill her private treasury? I'm still waiting to spend a lot of money to buy back Dongjun."
"Hey, the money from rare ingredients is not a big deal. I will earn money for my mother. Mother said that good things that benefit the people are not limited to any country. These rare ingredients will not only bring more income to the people of Beiyi, but the people of Dongjun, Nankun, and Xirong also need them. Okay, everyone, stop standing there. Big brother, change your clothes quickly. Let's teach my uncle and cousin Mingde how to grow rare ingredients together, shall we?"
"Okay." Su Ning'an quickly handed Baili Mingde a coarse linen shirt and winked with a smile, "Cousin, I will teach you step by step."
