Chapter 96 Celebration



The large-scale sales of dry wine on the first day immediately set off the entire Imperial Capital.

But the people who bought it are still only a tiny fraction.

After hearing the news, most people either rushed over themselves or sent their servants over, but they were still a step too slow.

Was told it was sold out.

In the shop, Princess Yongning looked at Zhao Hao excitedly.

"We have to celebrate today to celebrate our successful start in Ganjiu!"

Zhao Hao smiled and nodded.

"Okay, let's go to the first floor. I'll cook a few new dishes myself for Your Highness to try."

Princess Yongning said happily: "Okay, okay, let's go now!"

The time that the two of them had spent together was quite a while, and it was the first time that Zhao Hao saw the princess look so happy.

When they arrived at the first floor, it was almost dusk. Zhao Hao went into the kitchen himself and carefully prepared six new dishes.

By the time the dishes arrived, Princess Yongning was still so excited that she couldn't calm down.

"Why is there no wine?"

"It's such a nice day, we must drink!"

Zhao Hao couldn't do it all of a sudden.

"ah?"

"Your Highness, can you drink?"

Princess Yongning smiled and said, "I am not a big drinker, but I can still drink a little!"

"You know about rose dew, I can drink half a pound of it!"

Zhao Hao said hurriedly: "Although the strength of rose dew is slightly lower than that of snowflake wine, half a catty is not less!"

"I didn't expect His Highness to be so good at drinking!"

"But our dry wine is too strong, Your Highness must not drink too much."

Princess Yongning said, "Don't worry, I won't drink too much. Ask someone to bring some wine over quickly."

There was no other way, so Zhao Hao had to ask Lao Zhong to bring up a pot of wine.

Both had a full glass.

Princess Yongning raised her cup and said, "Here, this is the first cup of wine to celebrate our grand opening today!"

Zhao Hao also quickly raised his glass and clinked it with hers.

They both raised their heads and drank it all in one gulp.

Princess Yongning was immediately overwhelmed by the spiciness, but she still poured herself a second cup.

After pouring out his own quilt, he turned to pour out Zhao Hao's.

Zhao Hao quickly said, "Your Highness, I can do it myself."

Princess Yongning pushed his hand away.

"No, I must pour you this cup, you can't refuse."

Zhao Hao smiled and shook his head, and had to agree.

After filling his glass, Princess Yongning raised a second glass.

"Here, this second cup is specially for you. Thank you for your great help to me and the royal family!"

"Your Highness, you've gone too far. I actually have my own selfish motives, and you should know that."

"Take this dry wine for example. If it weren't for the cooperation with His Highness, I would never be able to make it myself."

"There will be countless people looking for trouble with me. To be honest, Your Highness, even now, there are many people who are trying to take my shares."

"So, cooperating with His Highness is a good thing for me. It's a win-win situation."

Princess Yongning said: "That's what I said, but no matter what your thoughts were, you helped the royal family, and that's your contribution!"

"Come on, do it!"

Having said that, without waiting for Zhao Hao, he tilted his head back and drank the full glass of wine.

Seeing this, Zhao Hao had no choice but to follow suit.

Putting down the wine glass, Princess Yongning looked at Zhao Hao with her beautiful eyes and said apologetically, "Zhao Hao, I have something to discuss with you."

Zhao Hao couldn't help but wonder: "Your Highness, why are you being so polite? Just tell me what you want to say."

Princess Yongning said, "You have been in the prison for a while now, and we have not shared the profits from the tofu business or the First Floor."

Zhao Hao nodded and said with a smile: "Indeed, if Your Highness hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about it."

Princess Yongning said, "Actually... the money from Doufang and the First Floor was all used by me."

"Don't think too much, because the imperial court has no money, and the Zhenbei Army has just experienced a war and needs a pension."

"so……"

"I'm sorry I'm telling you this now!"

"Don't worry, I have kept track of all the money, and it is also included in the royal share."

"Or I can give you interest."

"In short, I'll use it for a while first, and when I make money later, I'll give it to you first."

Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Princess Yongning immediately became anxious and apologized to Zhao Hao repeatedly.

Zhao Hao quickly waved his hands and said, "Your Highness has misunderstood. I am not angry. Since the court needs it, it is normal for Your Highness to do this."

"What's more, this is compensation for the soldiers who were killed and injured."

"This kind of thing really should be done immediately, as soon as possible."

"We must never let the soldiers who have served our country feel disheartened."

“This is business!”

"Just as Your Highness said, when you make money later, you can give me your share."

"Your Highness, don't worry too much!"

Hearing what Zhao Hao said, Princess Yongning immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought you were angry."

Zhao Hao smiled and shook his head.

"How could that be? I don't really need the money. Your Highness can use the dividend money first."

Princess Yongning's beautiful eyes flickered, and she said with emotion: "Zhao Hao, thank you so much. I thank you on behalf of the families of those soldiers!"

Zhao Hao asked, "There should be many soldiers killed in this war. Is the little money we earn enough?"

Princess Yongning shook her head and then sighed.

"Of course it's not enough, and there's still a long way to go. But your father has thought of many ways and managed to come up with some emergency supplies."

"We have also taken out some money, and finally distributed the first batch of pensions."

"The court is really short of money at the moment, there is nothing we can do about it."

Zhao Hao nodded.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Our dry wine is now officially on sale. This is truly a big business."

"It won't be long before we make enough money to provide relief to the fallen soldiers."

Princess Yongning's eyes were a little red.

"Yes, you have no idea how miserable those soldiers are. Their families are just ordinary civilians."

"The pillar of their family is gone. If the court doesn't care about them, what else can they do?"

Zhao Hao didn't say anything.

How could he not understand?

In his previous life, he did not catch up with the darkest and brightest era.

But everyone knows that they have such a team.

A team that uses flesh and blood to build a Great Wall of Steel.

Zhao Hao’s grandfather is one of them.

Known as the cutest person.

It was after his grandfather died that he became an orphan.

Therefore, Zhao Hao naturally feels close to people who wear military uniforms to defend their country, and he respects and admires them from the bottom of his heart.

Although he has come to such a world now, he still retains such a complex in his heart.
