Chapter 54 New Cooperation
Fang Miaozhu became lively again.
In addition to the matter of the doll, Yuelai Inn recently launched a new recipe - crab stuffed with orange.
It’s crab season now, and this dish is very popular for its appearance and flavor.
However, Fang Miaozhu didn't know how this was done.
She could only roughly simulate the recipe based on the information she knew in modern times, and then replicate it based on the taste she had tasted.
When Nangong Yue heard about this dish, he excitedly begged Pu Qiongzhi to bring him a portion.
He rarely asked for anything, and now he just wanted to eat this dish, so Pu Qiongzhi naturally fulfilled his wish.
I have to mention that this guy is a genius.
The chef in Ruilou's kitchen let him taste the original flavors of some seasonings.
Since learning this, he can accurately tell the raw materials of food almost the moment he tastes it.
Although he was not very clear about the cooking method, he was able to break down the recipe of a dish by this step.
Because this dish is in limited supply, it is said that only 100 servings are made every day, so you have to line up early to grab it.
When Pu Qiongzhi arrived, it was too late.
But fortunately, she has money.
She bought several copies from the customer at several times the price.
The family gathered together, each staring at the crab stuffed orange in their bowl.
Yan'er, Chunjing and the others shared a portion, and almost everyone was able to taste this delicacy.
The happiest people were Nangong Jiayu and Nangong Yue.
The two of them stared at the beautiful oranges in the bowl with almost excitement.
When you peel off the small lid of the orange, you will find crab meat with broth inside.
"This way, you don't have to tear the crab apart yourself, which is really much more convenient!" said Nangong Hua.
After saying that, everyone started moving the small spoons in their hands.
“…” For a moment, everyone’s silence was deafening.
The next second, Nangong Yue's retching sound came as expected.
"Ugh! Hiccup!" He quickly covered his mouth with a handkerchief and turned to the side.
The others looked at each other, their expressions indescribable.
"It's fishy and tastes just so-so..." Everyone felt helpless.
Nangong Yue took a while to recover, "It's called crab stuffed with orange, but why are they using tangerines?"
"If it were made with orange pulp, it might taste much better."
After hearing what he said, Pu Qiongzhi said, "You can go to Ruilou and let the masters try it."
"Okay!" Nangong Yue said as she stood up and prepared the carriage to go to Ruilou.
Nangong Hua and Pu Qiongzhi were left there by him.
The two were also helpless.
Little Nangong Jiayu frowned and swallowed again.
"If you don't like it, don't eat it. Be careful not to hurt your spleen and stomach." Pu Qiongzhi was puzzled and stopped him.
Nangong Jiayu frowned and swallowed the last bite before saying, "Aunt, this crab stuffed with orange is very rare. I'm lucky enough to have had the opportunity to try it, so I have to remember what it tastes like."
"I don't want to spend money to eat something this bad again, so... I have to learn my lesson this time."
“…” Nangong Hua was completely defeated by his reasons.
…
At the same time, Ding Momo from Jinnan Palace was also tasting this dish.
She is a gourmet and naturally will not miss out on delicious food.
But the price and taste of this crab stuffed orange dish made her burst into curse.
Her maidservant silently covered her ears and pretended to be deaf.
The princess is becoming more and more irritable now.
After eating a dish that didn't taste good, he got furious.
In the past, the princess was never picky.
This is not Ding Momo's fault.
She only had a limited monthly salary, and Ruilou alone cost her a lot of it.
She felt cheated after spending so much money on such unpalatable crab stuffed oranges.
"I originally thought that only Pu Qiongzhi would do such a thing! I didn't expect that these merchants are not good people!"
"Oh right! I'm going to find Pu Qiongzhi! I have to ask her to make back all the money I lost!"
Ding Momo clapped her hands and ran into the room to look for her contract.
She slapped the maid's hands that were covering her ears and said, "Prepare the carriage. I want to go to the Earl of Gongning's mansion!"
"Ah?" The maid was stunned. "Are we going to deliver it to you on our own initiative?"
"What do you mean by delivering it to my doorstep? It was Pu Qiongzhi who took the initiative to invite me to do business with her!" Ding Momo refused to agree.
"Even though I don't know what kind of business it is, I just need to wait and make money!"
"Let's discuss it with the princess... After all, it's your dowry..." The maid was afraid that she would be cheated.
Ding Momo shook her head. "The dowry will be handed over to me sooner or later, and I will take care of it."
"But Pu Qiongzhi asked me to do business with her, and this won't happen again in the future!"
"Based on my understanding of Pu Qiongzhi, she is so shameless and ruthless, she will definitely not suffer any loss!"
"If I cooperate with her, at most she'll cheat me out of a small amount of money, but I'll still get a share of the profits in the end."
"If I don't cooperate with her, then I will still be a fat sheep to be slaughtered in her eyes."
"And the most important point is, Pu Qiongzhi said that if I become a partner with her, it will be cheaper to eat at Ruilou in the future!"
"..." The maid couldn't bear to look at her expression.
I don't know what this little calculation is. It feels like his own princess was sold out by Wen Shugong and he is still helping to count the money.
However, Ding Momo still informed Princess Jin'an.
After all, he is an elder who loves her, so it’s okay to tell him before making any big decisions.
Princess Jinnan naturally supported her move.
She didn't understand any of this stuff, she just thought Pu Qiongzhi was a nice person.
…
"I'm here to discuss cooperation with you!"

As soon as Princess Roujia entered the room, she made her purpose clear.
"I am so happy that the princess is here." Pu Qiongzhi was happy that she moved so quickly.
Princess Roujia took the seat without hesitation and glanced at the cup critically, "What kind of tea is this?"
"Water bud tea, I wonder if the princess likes it." Pu Qiongzhi took a look and explained.
Ding Momo's arrogant demeanor instantly subsided, "Water Bud Tea?"
"Do you serve water bud tea to your guests at home?" she asked again.
This tea is extremely valuable, more expensive than gold...but they just casually take it out to entertain guests.
Pu Qiongzhi didn't expect her to react so strongly. She glanced at Chun Jing beside her, then smiled and said, "The princess is my honored guest."
"I am only entertaining the princess, so I am willing to bring out such fine tea."
Hearing her say this, Ding Momo picked up the teacup skeptically, took a sip, and savored it carefully.
"Here, the spacious place you mentioned. This princess owns one on the outskirts of the city, which is almost the largest manor in the suburbs of Beijing."
"This is the dowry that the Queen Mother gave to my mother! How is it? Take a look!"
Pu Qiongzhi took her deed, looked at the information on it, and was very satisfied with the garden.
"What kind of business are you going to start?" she asked again.
Pu Qiongzhi hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth.
After all, it was the inheritance left by Princess Roujia's mother who died young, and she couldn't just dispose of it at will.
"I'm planning to turn it into a horse ranch...but I don't know if this garden can be used for that purpose."
"Horse farm? What are you going to do? Raise horses?" Ding Momo was so anxious that she almost choked on her tea.
