Chapter 55 Exclusive Dishes
"No." Pu Qiongzhi shook her head.
"I've calculated that raising horses myself isn't cost-effective."
Ding Momo finally breathed a sigh of relief, "So you want to..."
"Polo. I want to build a polo field." Pu Qiongzhi answered her doubts.
"You are really bold and daring! But, I also like playing polo! This is great!" Ding Momo clapped her hands.
Pu Qiongzhi heard her say this and knew that she was very satisfied. "But, we have just found a good venue."
"This princess can ask those retired war horses..." Ding Momo thought for a while.
After all, there was a precedent in Daliang where war horses were sold to farmers for use, so it would naturally be better to be able to keep them at a horse farm.
Naturally, retired war horses are the first choice, after all, they have undergone rigorous training.
But if there are too few horses, you can't have fun. You also have to be prepared just in case some horses are not in good condition. It is safer to have replacements.
After much deliberation, Pu Qiongzhi decided to contact two horse farms that specialize in horse training.
As they were talking, Nangong Yue and Nangong Jiayu came back with a plate of crab stuffed with orange.
"Auntie (sister-in-law)! Come and try this crab stuffed orange!"
The two of them rushed in excitedly carrying food boxes.
Ding Momo was choked again.
"Ahem... ahem... crab stuffed orange? You bought some too?"
She calmed down and said with a sad face, "I was deceived too. It tastes terrible!"
"I spent quite a bit of money queuing up at the Yuelai Inn so early in the morning! Just thinking about the traffic is terrifying!"
Nangong Jiayu glanced at her and fell silent awkwardly.
He remembered that this was Princess Roujia, who did not have a good relationship with her aunt.
Nangong Yue, who was standing next to him, was completely unaware of this. He opened the box of crab stuffed with orange and took out the plate inside.
"Sister-in-law, please try it, it tastes very good!" He said sincerely.
As soon as the food box was opened, a refreshing fragrance caught Ding Momo's attention.
She stared at the crab-stuffed orange inside, her mouth almost watering at the beautiful fruit.
Being stared at by her like that, Nangong Yue instantly felt alert and turned around to look at her fiercely.
Nangong Jiayu, a smart little girl, added at the right moment, "Aunt, my fourth uncle and I brought you a special portion. Please eat it while it's hot!"
“…” Pu Qiongzhi smiled and understood that the two little guys were protecting her food.
However, Ding Momo's bright eyes opposite her were almost glued to her, and it was difficult for her to ignore them.
"Let's give some to the princess. I can't eat so much by myself."
Pu Qiongzhi originally wanted to give it to Ding Momo, and she could go to Ruilou to eat this dish anytime.
But she was really afraid that her two little ones would jump up. Looking at their current posture, they looked quite powerful.
Helplessly, she could only ask Yan'er to get a small plate and cut half for Ding Momo.
"Thank you, Lady Wen Shu! You are such a kind person!"
When Ding Momo saw that she also got a share, she instantly smiled and even her mouth became sweet.
However, she was really a little embarrassed, after all, she was a lady from a wealthy family.
I don’t know what’s wrong with this mouth, it’s just so greedy!
I feel extremely disgusted when I eat it at home, but I can't help but want to eat it when I smell it.
Nangong Jiayu and Nangong Yue stared at her, but Ding Momo didn't care at all.
Anyway, we can't let her mouth down!
But she didn't expect that when she took the first bite, she was instantly conquered by the taste.
The fragrant fruit flavor blends with the delicious crab meat, and the whole aroma fills your mouth, and you can't stop eating one bite after another.
Pu Qiongzhi was quite satisfied with the taste, but she didn't like eating crabs, so she only had a taste.
"Where is this crab stuffed orange from? It's definitely not from Yuelai Inn!" Ding Momo was a little excited and stood up to ask.
Nangong Yue replied blankly, "It's Ruilou, we just made it."
"Is this for sale? Why haven't I seen it before? Is it new?" Ding Momo asked.
Pu Qiongzhi took a look and shook her head. "It's almost not the season for eating crabs. Besides, this is just a new dish of Yuelai Inn. We didn't plan to serve it."
"Why? What they cook is terrible. You should challenge them!" Ding Momo persuaded.
She really likes this dish, it's so delicious! But now she can't eat it.
Pu Qiongzhi saw that the girl was still unsatisfied and said with a smile, "If the princess likes it, Ruilou can make it specially for her."
"Really? Can I order this dish at Ruilou?" Ding Momo was a little surprised.
Pu Qiongzhi nodded and said, "The princess has given me such a beautiful garden, so one dish won't cost much."
"Okay! I'll pay the master according to the price of Yuelai Inn!" Ding Momo didn't want to work for the master in vain.
…
After the audition, Pei Wanqing concentrated on embroidering her dowry at home.
Someone outside the door threw a note at her.
"Hiss... How dare you! Who is it?" She couldn't help crying out in pain, then looked outside vigilantly.
Her eyes fell to the ground, she picked up the note, went back into the house and opened it.
The information on the note made her frown - there is a surprise at the third door in Lingwei Lane on the outskirts of the city.
"What is that? It's so mysterious."
She looked at the line of words, couldn't help but curse, and threw the note into the trash can beside her.
But inexplicable curiosity drove her to take another look at the address above...
Pu Qiongzhi waited for the final imperial decree of the draft to be issued, and after the dust settled, she was ready to cut off Pei Wanqing's retreat.
However, Pei Wanqing also planned to completely resolve the trouble caused by Pu Qiongzhi before she married the Ninth Prince.
"Madam, something happened." Yan'er brought Mu Jicui all the way to Pu Qiongzhi.
Pu Qiongzhi saw that Yan'er had a serious expression on his face, and the little girl behind him also had a bit of suppressed anxiety.
"What happened in Lin'an?" she asked without hesitation.
Mu Jicui stated quickly, "Zhaoxia Cloth Shop closed down a few days ago. The shop went bankrupt."
"But the next day, their boss hanged himself in front of our Pu's cloth shop. The night watchman immediately reported it to the authorities."
"The coroner found out that the owner of the Chaoxia Cloth Shop was strangled to death and then hanged in front of the Pu family shop... Now, many people in our shop have been interrogated."
"Not only that, the family of the owner of the Chaoxia Cloth Shop came directly to the capital today, holding their medals and wailing in front of our Ruilou. They said we forced their owner to death, killed him to silence him, and exposed his body to vent our anger..."
Pu Qiongzhi's first reaction after hearing this was, "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
"The letter was delivered at full speed and just arrived today." Yan'er took out the letter and handed it to Pu Qiongzhi.
Pu Qiongzhi was stunned, took it, and took a look. It was roughly the same as what Mu Jicui said.
"The people from Chaoxia Cloth Shop arrived too quickly!"
"Our urgent letter from home just arrived... They didn't even give us time to react!"
