Wei Laosan and others were coming, and Liu Tangxi thought about selling candied haws again.

However, the dowry that Yin gave her included a ready-made dry goods shop on the snack street, so she could sell candied haws whenever she wanted.

The next day, after seeing Wei Hanzhou off, she went out.

I walked around the snack street, visited all the shops selling candied haws, and then bought a bunch of different kinds of candied haws.

In the end, she got more than twenty skewers and ate one from each one.

After eating so many candied haws, let alone Wei Hanzhou, even someone like her who loves candied haws and has a golden finger for improving the taste almost doesn't want to eat it anymore.

Ordinary hawthorn candied haws cost about five or six coins per string, with six hawthorns in a string. As for other fruits, the prices vary, some cost 10 coins per string, and some cost more than 10 coins per string, depending on the price of the fruit at that time.

After understanding the market price and calculating the rental, materials and other issues, Liu Tangxi set the price of ordinary hawthorn candied haws at six cents a string, and those with glutinous rice, red bean paste, mung bean paste, and walnut kernels were all sold at ten cents a string.

After confirming it, Liu Tangxi talked to the owner of the dried fruit shop and asked him to find a chef who knew how to make candied haws.

Although the shopkeeper felt that the profit margin of candied haws was low and troublesome, and would affect other dried fruit businesses in the shop, the shop was Liu Tangxi's after all. He knew that the ladies of these noble families would not look down on the business of this shop. For example, the ladies did not care much about this business before.

So, even if he thinks dried fruits may sell better than candied haws, in the eyes of others, they may be the same and looked down upon.

So, he said nothing, agreed readily, and went back to find a skilled chef who could make candied haws.

Two days later, the shopkeeper tidied up the shop. Everything else remained the same except that he set up a candied haws cabinet at the door, which contained all kinds of utensils and ingredients for making candied haws.

That day, Liu Tangxi came early and brought two bags of hawthorns personally.

"From now on, use the hawthorns I specify." Liu Tangxi said.

These hawthorns were picked by her at home and the taste has been improved.

The shopkeeper quickly asked someone to put aside the hawthorns he had prepared in advance.

After finishing all this, Liu Tangxi asked the chef to make candied haws. After making a few strings, Liu Tangxi handed the candied haws to the waiter and asked the waiter to shout at the door.

"Take a look, take a look at the freshly made candied haws in our shop. If they don't taste good, you can get them for free."

"Not only are there cakes made of hawthorn, yam, and orange, but there are also cakes with fillings."

The guy shouted and showed it to others.

"Try it. It's free."

There is already a large flow of people here, with people coming and going everywhere. With the shouting, many people came over.

Many people came to buy Tanghulu after trying it.

When there are more people, they start to line up, and when they line up, there are more people.

In this way, one person sells in the front, a master makes it in the back, and another partner helps.

Liu Tangxi was a little worried about the Tanghulu business, so he didn't go back at noon. He just bought some food nearby and asked someone to pack some for Wei Hanzhou.

After lunch, she went back to the shop to look around.

When it was 3 p.m., seeing that business was good, she decided to go buy some groceries and cook.

She has been eating Tanghulu for almost a month, and now her mouth feels really weird, a little astringent, and a little uncomfortable.

Thinking that Wei Hanzhou had been eating with her for a month, she felt that they could change their taste.

It's cold today, so it's a good time to eat something hot.

For example, hot pot.

Hot pot is also called antique soup.

Some people in the Dali Dynasty called it hot pot, while others called it antique soup.

As for when the name was changed, Liu Tangxi was not sure. Not only hot pot, but also the names of various other foods and fruits, even if she used modern names, everyone could understand it, and no one doubted her.

She guessed that all this was related to the time-traveling girl Liu Luan.

Liu Tangxi went to the vegetable market to pick out some fresh ingredients, such as shiitake mushrooms, mushrooms, cabbage, spinach, potatoes, etc.

These are all available in the vegetable market.

If she wanted to eat something that was not available at the market, she would go to the restaurant opened by Liu Luan.

Liu Xuanan's restaurant is quite large, and hot pot is a very popular food here.

And these ways of eating are almost exactly the same as how she eats it today.

This saved Liu Tangxi a lot of trouble.

She bought shrimp noodles, lamb rolls, beef rolls, various meatballs, etc.

Not only did she buy the ingredients, she also bought the prepared hot pot base.

The shopkeeper was frightened when he saw her coming, and tremblingly asked his waiter to prepare ingredients for her.

Finally, Liu Tangxi left with satisfaction, taking the ingredients, base ingredients, seasonings, and two large bottles of drinks.

Of course, even though the shopkeeper didn't dare to take her money, she still gave it to him.

When the shopkeeper saw her leave, he quickly sent someone to inform Liu Yunan, fearing that this young lady was going to do something to frame their master again.

After Liu Tangxi returned home, she went to the kitchen to prepare bone soup. Although she had the seasonings, she preferred to make her own soup when eating hot pot at home.

This time she made big bone soup.

After boiling, we start to prepare the vegetarian dishes.

When Wei Hanzhou came back, Liu Tangxi had already asked someone to move the hot pot to the main room. They both liked spicy food, and the hot pot was bubbling with red chili oil.

However, Wei Hanzhou was not a greedy person, and he couldn't help swallowing slightly when he smelled the flavor.

"Husband, you're back. Go change your clothes, wash your hands and have dinner." Liu Tangxi greeted Wei Hanzhou warmly.

"good."

When Wei Hanzhou came out, the ingredients had already been placed on the table and the dipping sauce had been prepared. The servants who were serving in the house had all gone out, leaving only the two of them.

"Is it cold outside?" Liu Tangxi asked.

"Cold." Wei Hanzhou said.

"Looking at this, it might be snowing soon. I wonder if the snow in the capital will be as heavy as at home." Liu Tangxi said while looking outside.

Wei Hanzhou thought about it and said rationally, "Probably not. The capital is located in the south, so the snow doesn't fall too heavily in previous years."

Liu Tangxi said somewhat disappointedly: "If we were at home, it would have snowed by now."

"Yeah." Wei Hanzhou responded. Seeing that she was depressed, he changed the subject.

"Antique soup for dinner today?"

"Yes, let's eat hot pot. Come and try it, it's delicious. I've already eaten some." Liu Tangxi said with a smile.

She originally wanted to wait for Wei Hanzhou to come back and eat together, however, the hot pot was prepared a little early, and when she smelled the food, she couldn't help but started eating first.

"Um."

"But drink a bowl of bone soup to warm yourself up before eating."

"good."

After Wei Hanzhou finished his soup, Liu Tangxi picked up the serving chopsticks and made him some mutton rolls.

Wei Hanzhou clamped it up.

The taste was too spicy and Wei Hanzhou felt a little uncomfortable at first.

But gradually, after adapting, everything will be fine.

The two of them ate hot pot happily.

Although Liu Tangxi likes spicy food, he can't eat too spicy food and has to drink a few sips of beverage from time to time.

"How are the sales of candied haws today?" Wei Hanzhou asked.

While blowing on a mushroom, Liu Tangxi said, "It should be OK. I haven't asked for details yet. I'll ask in the shop tomorrow."

"Hmm." Seeing Liu Tangxi gasping for air from the boil, Wei Hanzhou said, "Eat slowly."

"Uh-huh."

When they had almost finished eating the vegetables and meat, Liu Tangxi served Wei Hanzhou some vegetable noodles.

This meal took almost half an hour to finish. Liu Tangxi was really full. It had been a long time since he had eaten so well.

The servants came in quickly to clean up.

Nanny Cheng smiled and said, "Madam, it's snowing outside."

When Liu Tangxi heard this, his eyes lit up and he ran out immediately.

Wei Hanzhou saw that she was wearing thin clothes, and before he could say anything, she disappeared.

"Where is Madam's cloak?" Wei Hanzhou asked with a frown.

Nanny Cheng hurried inside to get it.

Wei Hanzhou took the furry cloak and walked outside.

"Sir, you should also put on a cloak." Nanny Cheng reminded.

"No need." Wei Hanzhou walked outside.

"Wei Hanzhou, it's really snowing. I thought it wouldn't snow today." Liu Tangxi said with a smile.

Wei Hanzhou walked over, tied her cloak, held her hand, stood with her, and looked at the snow in the sky.

"Yeah, it's snowing."

Liu Tangxi really likes snow and stretches out his hands from time to time to catch the snowflakes in the air.

It’s a pity that the snowflakes melted immediately as they fell into her hands.

But she still enjoys playing it and has a lot of fun.

The two stood there for about a quarter of an hour. Seeing that the snow was getting heavier and the weather was getting colder, Wei Hanzhou took Liu Tangxi's hand and went in.

At this moment, the hot pot in the house has been cleaned up, and because the doors and windows have just been opened for ventilation, the smell has dissipated a lot.

"I don't know if it will snow on the ground tomorrow morning," said Liu Tangxi.

"It should be possible. Look, it was snowing heavily just now. We will be able to see it when we wake up tomorrow morning." Wei Hanzhou said.

Liu Tangxi's eyes were full of anticipation, and he said with a smile, "Then I have to get up early tomorrow morning to go and see it."

"good."

Wei Hanzhou untied her cloak, shook off the snow on it, and handed it to Nanny Cheng.

It was still early and there was still some time before bedtime. It was too cold outside to go for a walk, so the two of them sat on the couch in the inner room and read.

Liu Tangxi was reading a travel book.

Wei Hanzhou seemed to be reading a miscellaneous book.

Liu Tangxi saw that Wei Hanzhou was not reading any important book, so he looked at the travel notes in his hand and started to communicate with Wei Hanzhou.

"Why did Prime Minister Song say that the northern part of Yunnan is dangerous and why did he not recommend people to go there even though the scenery is beautiful?"

This travelogue was written by Song Xiang, the first prime minister of the Dali Dynasty.

When Song Xiang was young, he worked in the previous dynasty and was demoted many times. He traveled to various countries. When he got old, he returned to his hometown and wrote this travelogue.

She remembered that everyone said that Yunnan was very prosperous and many merchants would go there to buy goods and sell them in the capital. It seemed that the Yin family also had some such businesses and made quite a lot of money.

Wei Hanzhou raised his eyes and glanced at the book in Liu Tangxi's hand. Then, he put down the book in his hand, hugged Liu Tangxi in his arms, and lowered his head to look at the book in her hand with her.

"Yunbei was once the territory of the neighboring Yun Kingdom. The people of Yun are good at fighting, and after years of war, the people are barbaric and poor. Yunbei borders our Dali and is a city on the border. The people there are even more brutal than those in other places. More than ten years ago, Yun Kingdom constantly harassed our territory, and the people could not bear it. At that time, King Jian's fiefdom was there, so we sent troops to suppress it. Afterwards, there were many disputes on the border between the two countries. Later, King Jian personally led troops to suppress it and seized three cities of Yun Kingdom, and Yun Kingdom finally calmed down. Prime Minister Song traveled to Yunbei about a few decades ago, when Yunbei was not yet the territory of Dali."

"Oh! So Yunbei City refers to these three cities?"

"Yeah, that's right." Wei Hanzhou nodded.

"Wow, Prince Jian is so powerful." Liu Tangxi sighed.

Just as Yin said, this third prince is not at the same level as Prince Jian.

Wei Hanzhou glanced at Liu Tangxi.

Although he felt a little uncomfortable with the admiration in his lady's eyes and the praise in her words, he still continued speaking and praising King Jian.

"Well, after King Jian captured the three cities, the people here were initially dissatisfied and often made trouble. But less than a year later, they gradually submitted. Not only them, but even today, many people from Yun Country have quietly crossed the new border and gone to live in Yunbei City."

"Ah? Why?" Liu Tangxi asked.

"Because the people of Yun were poor, King Jian led them to reclaim vast wasteland and plant food. He also led them to build houses and trade with Dali. Now they have food to eat, houses to live in, and money to earn. The people have been fighting for many years and are already tired. Now they don't care who is their master. They like to stay here and obey King Jian's management."

Liu Tangxi's eyes were full of admiration.

This King Jian is no ordinary person.

I don't know the King...

Liu Tangxi swallowed, looked at Wei Hanzhou, and asked softly: "Husband, can I ask you a question?"

Wei Hanzhou seemed to know what she was asking. He looked at her meaningfully and said, "Well, what do you want to ask, madam?"

"Does Prince Jian have that intention?" Liu Tangxi asked in a low voice. At the same time, she pointed in the direction of the imperial palace.

Although Wei Hanzhou guessed it, he didn't expect her to ask so directly.

Wei Hanzhou answered the question irrelevantly, saying, "Do you know who the Lord of Yunbei City obeys so far?"

Liu Tangxi shook her head.

"Ten years ago, Yun State ceded its territory to Prince Jian. The Emperor has summoned the City Lord to the capital many times, but the City Lord has never come. The Emperor was also dissatisfied, but the City Lord would rather go to war with Dali again than come to the capital."

Liu Tangxi swallowed and said, "Can the emperor tolerate this?"

"Of course, the emperor couldn't stand it. However, the important officials in the court did. Because although he didn't come to the capital, he paid tribute every year, and his territory also belonged to the Dali Dynasty. Except for not coming to the capital, which made the emperor lose face, he obeyed Dali in other matters. To be more precise, he obeyed the orders of Prince Jian. If the Lord of Yunbei City really joined forces with Dayun to attack Dali, it would be troublesome. Not only would it cost the people money and manpower, but it would also not be certain that they would win."

Liu Tangxi blinked and understood what Wei Hanzhou meant.

Wei Hanzhou thought that in his dream, after the death of Prince Jian, Yunbei and the territories under Prince Jian were in chaos and they had attacked Dali. Unfortunately, the Crown Prince was in the capital and they did not have a wise and powerful leader like Prince Jian, so they were afraid to act rashly and gradually lost.

Wei Hanzhou never doubted that his dreams were fake, because there were many things he never knew. If it was a dream, it was impossible for him to dream about these extremely unfamiliar areas and people.

Moreover, his wife is a living example.

She didn't lose her memory, but she became a different person, with many more things that the original person didn't have.

"In other words, Prince Jian has that intention?" Liu Tangxi asked Wei Hanzhou in his ear.

"I don't know what my wife is talking about." Wei Hanzhou returned to his previous state and said pretentiously.

But even though Wei Hanzhou said this, Liu Tangxi still remained determined in his thoughts and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

Prince Jian, you have to work hard and don't let her down!

Wei Hanzhou felt relieved when he saw her smiling happily.

What she was worried about was that she would be retaliated against when the third prince ascended the throne.

In this case, why not tell her something so that she can feel at ease and not live in worry all day long.

In his opinion, the possibility of the third prince ascending the throne was extremely small.

After Emperor You failed to succeed in his attack, he lost the opportunity to kill Prince Jian.

And King Jian is not a reckless man.

On the contrary, he was very smart. He knew how to hide his shortcomings and how to win people's hearts in secret.

Prince Jian must have already found out something about the guard's affairs and knows who the master behind him is.

Moreover, as the legitimate son of the previous emperor, he naturally has a large number of people supporting him. Nowadays, there are many voices in the court that are dissatisfied with Emperor You. With the increase in taxes a few years ago, the people are also complaining.

Wei Hanzhou suddenly thought of the ending of their family in his dream.

After my father died, my family was so poor that they almost couldn't survive.

And now we can live such a wealthy life, all thanks to my wife.

Wei Hanzhou turned his head to look at Liu Tangxi. Thinking of the topic just discussed, he secretly reminded her: "My wife, don't say such rebellious words in public in the future."

Liu Tangxi was thinking about the future and nodded unconsciously when he heard this. However, he suddenly stopped halfway and looked up at Wei Hanzhou.

"What is my husband saying? I don't understand. I have never said anything outrageous. It's because you think so that I think so too, right?" Liu Tangxi said with a blink.

Why pretend? Who doesn’t know how to pretend?

Looking at her harmless face, Wei Hanzhou raised his hand and stroked it, saying, "Well, it was my fault. My wife didn't say anything."

Seeing Wei Hanzhou admit his mistake, Liu Tangxi hugged his neck with both hands and kissed his face.

"It's good that you know you were wrong. Don't say such outrageous words in the future. Do you remember?" Liu Tangxi taught Wei Hanzhou a lesson.

Wei Hanzhou couldn't stand such teasing, so he kissed her back.

After kissing her a few times, he said in a hoarse voice, "I'll remember that."

It was freezing cold outside and snowing heavily, but it was warm as spring inside.

From the couch to the bed, clothes were scattered all over the floor, and the bed curtains were drawn down, covering up the spring scenery. ,,
